The highly anticipated Chronicle of Ragnarok The third season brings with it new battles that will decide the fate of humanity. In new developments, the Greek god Hades, lord of the underworld, enters the tournament to avenge Poseidon after Buddha switches sides. Here are 10 fascinating facts about Hades and his connection to Qin Shi Huang.
1. The respected eldest of the Greek gods
In Greek mythology depicted in Chronicle of RagnarokHades is one of the most important gods. He is the eldest of four brothers: Hades, Zeus, Poseidon and Adamas. Even though Zeus, Poseidon, and Adamas often clash, they all show special respect for Hades. His presence brings calm and order to the younger gods.
2. One of the few gods allowed through Bifrost
Bifrost is the door that connects Valhalla to Helheim (the underground world). Only high-ranking gods can pass. Hades is one of two Greek gods on this list: Zeus as head of the council and Hades as ruler of Helheim.
3. The protector against the invasion of the Titans
After Zeus defeats Cronus and reclaims the throne, the ancient goddess Gaia mobilizes a huge army and the imprisoned Titans escape Tartarus. Recognizing the threat, Hades returns to Helheim and annihilates the Titans, protecting his brothers and maintaining the peace.
4. The only god that Poseidon respects
Poseidon is known for his cold and ruthless nature, even towards his brothers. However, he has absolute respect for Hades. After the Helheim massacre, Poseidon addresses Hades as “Aniki” (Big brother) for the first time, highlighting their unique bond.
5. Complex relationship with Beelzebub
Hades commands respect even from deities outside the Greek pantheon, including Beelzebub, who once fought Tesla. Their relationship begins through conflict: Beelzebub seeks death, but Hades saves him, giving him the Staff of Apomiius and encouraging him to continue living. This alliance also allows Adamas to survive Poseidon’s attack, thanks to the intervention of Beelzebub.
6. He volunteered to replace Buddha
Originally, Hades was not part of the 13 warrior gods. But after Buddha switches positions, Hades volunteers to take his place to not only fill the spot, but to avenge his brother Poseidon.
7. Mastery of spear fighting
Like Poseidon, Hades is a master of spear and trident combat. However, while Poseidon focuses on speed, Hades wields dual spears with overwhelming destructive power. His fighting style emphasizes brute strength, capable of annihilating the Titans single-handedly.
8. Secret Ace: Ichor: Desmos
Ichor: Desmos it is Hades’ ultimate weapon, used only in desperate situations. By infusing his blood into his weapons, Hades achieves extreme destructive power. But it has two major weaknesses: prolonged use drains its life force, and opponents who sense Qi can counter it.
9. Defeated by Qin Shi Huang
The use of Hades Ichor: Desmos backfires on Qin Shi Huang. The Emperor counters Hades’ attack using his Qi-based techniques, destroying the weapon and delivering the final blow. In particular, Qin Shi Huang calls Hades “a friend” shortly before his defeat.
10. Voiced by Seiyuu veteran Ryōtarō Okiayu
Hades is brought to life by Ryōtarō Okiayu, a veteran voice actor known for roles such as Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach), Kushibo (Demon slayer) and Kaku/Kizaru (One piece).
Chronicle of Ragnarok continues to captivate fans with epic battles, divine rivalries, and intriguing character backstories. Hades’ appearance in season three adds depth to the mythology, giving fans more exciting moments and hidden secrets.
