## Past

### Titanomachy Tournament (Flying General)

Brunhinlde was present in the final match of the Titanomachy Tournament, in Rome.

## Ragnarok

A week before the Gods' Council in which the fate of Humanity would be decided, Brunhilde went to Buddha and asked him about the concept of "Common Destiny" which was part of his religion, Buddhism, and Buddha informed her of everything, including the concept of Völundr.

After that, Brunhilde began to gather thirteen Human warriors and offer them to fight for the salvation of Humanity.

### Gods' Council

Brunhilde was seen with her youngest sister Göll in the conference hall in Valhalla.

She intervened in the decision of the gods to destroy humanity and proposed the Ragnarok, which the gods initially found pointless and ridiculous, but she responded by taunting them, saying the gods were "chickening out" from a fight with humanity. This infuriated the gods and excited Zeus, who agreed with her proposal and declared the start of Ragnarok. Brunhilde then told Göll that they needed to select their vanguard from the 13 most powerful peak humans in history.

Göll pointed out that no human can fight against the gods. Brunhilde told Göll to calm down as she chose the human vanguard for the first fight, Lü Bu, who she personally saw on the battlefield.

When Göll asked about divine weapons that the gods wielded in battle, Brunhilde explained the she gathered all the valkyrie sisters together to save humanity.

She requested their help to perform Völundr with the 13 human warriors. Brunhilde asked Randgriz to step forward as they started their discussion about Thor's armaments. Brunhilde questioned Randgriz if she would pledge her body. Randgriz agreed to do so and performed the first Völundr with Lü Bu as she turned into Lü Bu's signature weapon, the Sky Piercer.

### First Round

Brunhilde appeared at the arena in the audience of humans and gods with Göll. Brunhilde stopped an old Buddhist monk from praying to the gods and reminded him that the gods he prays to seek humanity's destruction. When Thor performed his signature move, **Thor's Hammer**, Göll looked away in despair while thinking that it was foolish for humans to hope they could triumph over a god. Brunhilde insisted that Göll look closer at the match to see the historical moment when Thor was wounded by Lü Bu.

She vulgarly rejoiced at the fact that humanity finally had the opportunity to strike back at their masters.

After Lü Bu's defeat, Brunhilde left the balcony to prepare for the second fight as Göll followed her. The youngest valkyrie asked her what would happen with Lü Bu and Randgriz after the fight. Brunhilde explained to her that those who die in Ragnarok will permanently disappear and that Randgriz knew the risks in the fight. Göll accused Brunhilde of not caring for her sisters and wanted to know why she would make such a cruel decision. Brunhilde became enraged with Göll's accusation and told her that there is no other way to kill the gods.

### Second Round

In an attempt to prevent the gods from getting a lead of humanity, Brunhilde chose her trump card, the man who was the most hated by the gods and who had the strongest will, Adam. When it was Shiva's turn to enter the second round, Hermes appeared instead. Brunhilde was shocked by Hermes's appearance and knew that this meant Zeus would fight in the second round. She admitted that Zeus's participation in the second round was completely outside her expectations.

The eldest valkyrie was not surprised with Reginleif's transformation into a knuckleduster, later explaining it to be due to Reginleif's name meaning 'Daughter of the Gods', making her the perfect valkyrie for Adam. Later during the fight, Brunhilde reminded Göll of Adam's creation, explaining the nature of his **Eyes of the Lord**. She vulgarly cheered at Zeus's apparent death and told her sister that Adam's strength is his conviction, which was his hatred towards the gods. When Adam explained his real motivation to fight in Ragnarok, Brunhilde admitted that she underestimated him. She was shocked when Zeus entered his Adamas form and silently despaired when Adam was losing the upper hand in his fight against Zeus. After Adam's tragic death, Brunhilde walked off as Göll cried for Reginleif.

### Third Round

When the second round ended, Brunhilde made her way to her room and started binge eating pies that she had baked in advance. She was angered at Zeus for killing Adam, her trump card against the gods. She then received a message on her phone about Poseidon being the third representative of the gods and started to consider her options for the next warrior of humanity. When Göll showed her anxiety, Brunhilde threatened to decapitate Göll with a gentle smile on her face.

As Brunhilde was choosing her countermeasure against Poseidon, Kojiro Sasaki appeared before them as an old man and volunteered for the fight, surprising the valkyries.

During the fight, when it looked like Kojiro was going to lose, Brunhilde's face was overcome with bitterness and anger. But when he reversed the situation by performing a Re Völundr with Hrist to obtain two different weapons, Brunhilde erupted in a stream of profanities and slang as she expressed her joy. At the end of the third fight, Brunhilde was ecstatic over Kojiro's victory, gleefully hugging her younger sister. She was seen smirking at the gods from her side of the audience. But she knew that it was too early to celebrate victory, as there were six more victories that humanity had to obtain in this tournament.

### Fourth Round

***The following events happened only in the anime.***

She was briefly seen talking to Hermes, before being interrupted by Göll.

***Concludes only anime section.***

Brunhilde told Göll that gods would not allow humanity to get an equal score with them. As Göll was wondering who would be the next god to fight, Heracles approached them and told them he would be the next contender from the gods' side. Göll and Heracles eagerly greeted each other as they met while Brunhilde politely bowed before him. Brunhilde and Heracles then wished good luck to each other as they went to prepare for the fourth round.

As Brunhilde entered her room with Göll, the latter was in doubt about who she would cheer for in the fourth fight, since she adored Heracles so much. Brunhilde deviously smiled and stuck out her tongue like a snake when her back was turned to Göll, then she quickly covered her mouth with her hands to prevent Göll from seeing it. She then told her younger sister that she had prepared the perfect opponent against Heracles from the start. She called him the most despicable scum in human history, Jack the Ripper.

Brunhilde personally walked with Jack the Ripper without Göll to Hlökk's room and chose her as his partner.

When Hlökk protested and refused to be paired with a murderer and told Brunhilde to ask the other sisters, Brunhilde ignored her and told her that she had chosen her for the fourth round. Jack the Ripper stealthily appeared behind Hlökk and grabbed her by the neck. Hlökk started pleading to Brunhilde for help, but Brunhilde just coldly watched them. By betraying her sister, Brunhilde gave Jack the Ripper the ability to perform a forced Völundr with a valkyrie.

When it was announced that the gods' side accepted Jack's request for the arena change, Brunhilde deviously smiled and thought to herself how naïve Heracles was. During the fight, the eldest valkyrie gleefully made creepy faces at her youngest sister as she was explaining how Jack was going to win. After Heracles's death, Göll accused Brunhilde of murdering Heracles, but Brunhilde merely stated that they had to go to such lengths to win against the gods. She was seen clenching her fists so hard they began bleeding though, showing that she did care, even shedding tears for Heracles in private after she went to her chambers to pay respects to him.

### Fifth Round

Brunhilde later made her way to the antechambers for humanity's warriors. Göll caught up with Brunhilde and apologized to her for what she said before. Brunhilde gently told her that she has done nothing wrong and that they must move forward for humanity's sake. They discussed how they now had an even score with the gods as they made their way to Raiden Tameemon's room. Brunhilde greeted the sumo wrestler and rebuked his advances, before introducing his actual partner: Thrud.

The two Valkyries follow round five intensely, with Brunhilde noting that Raiden and Shiva are identical as they both shoulder the weight of each other's dreams. After the fifth round, Göll asked Brunhilde why she was going so far to save humanity as she cried more tears over Thrud and Raiden's death, but Brunhilde reminded her of Adam's words about how one does not need to be a reason to protect those who they hold dear. Brunhilde made her way to her to her private shrine and made an offering to Raiden while admitting that she is not as strong as she thought she would be.

### Sixth Round

When she was done mourning the fallen warriors, she exited her shrine and encountered Buddha. He told Brunhilde that he would fight in the sixth round on humanity's side. Buddha then told Brunhilde that he knew how she had been preparing for Ragnarok likely before she approached him for his help in teaching the Valkyries Völundr. Buddha asked Brunhilde if she realized from the start that learning Völundr from him in order to fight the gods will also make him an enemy of the gods along with her, and told her that he will not let that go. As Buddha was leaving, Brunhilde trembled in fear. When Buddha told the entire audience that he was fighting for humanity, everyone except Brunhilde was shocked by his declaration.

Göll asked Brunhilde that if having Buddha fighting for humanity was her plan. Brunhilde told her that Buddha's will is dictated by no one except himself and that he was a horrible man. Brunhilde also explained Buddha's origins and abilities to her.

Bishamonten and the other Lucky Gods then appeared at the arena as the god's sixth fighter. The Seven Lucky Gods then fused together to form Zerofuku. Brunhilde then explained Zerofuku's origins to Göll on how he was originally a kind god and how grief changed him. Just as Zerofuku was about to quit the fight, Hajun took over Zerofuku's body, surprising the entire audience. Göll asked Brunhilde on who Hajun was, but the latter had no idea who he was. Brunhilde also pointed out that Buddha's **Eighth Consciousness** ability wasn't working due to the darkness in Hajun's soul. However, once Buddha managed to perform a Völundr with Zerofuku, Brunhilde shed tears over the event and realised that Buddha's ability was working again as Hajun's soul was trembling out of fear, making it visible. She then celebrated with Göll when Buddha won, going to greet him after he left the arena. He soon fell down due to his injuries, and was rushed to the med bay.

Buddha called Brunhilde over while he was on the stretcher, asking her for candy after she expressed her thanks to him. She was amused by his request, promising to deliver enough candy to give him cavities. Buddha asked if Brunhilde was closer to achieving her goal with his victory, to which she replied that she was. Buddha then called Brunhilde stubborn, stating that he liked that about her while also admiring her eyes, saying they were full of worldly desire. He was cut short due to his injured state and taken to the operation room. Göll asked what he'd meant by that, to which Brunhilde responded with silence.

### Seventh Round

As Brunhilde and Göll were about to return to the Akashic Records room, Nostradamus ,disguised as Brunhilde, welcomed them. This surprised Göll and angered Brunhilde. Brunhilde asked him to reveal himself, annoyed that he was trying on her clothes as a joke. He then pranked the Valkyries with a fake prediction on how the gods were going to win Ragnarok. Göll panicked at first but Nostradamus laughed at her on believing his prank which in turn angered her. Brunhilde explained to Göll about how he was the most obnoxious man in human history and one of the peak human warriors she had chosen. Brunhilde threatened him to be sent back to Helheim should he continue with his pranks.

Nostradamus was in despair, stating that he hated Helheim, but Brunhilde did not fall for his act, knowing that he could've broken out whenever he wanted to. Nostradamus dropped the act, concurring with her and said that he enjoyed Helheim. Brunhilde explained to Göll that Nostradamus was the only one in all humanity to be cast to Helheim for nearly destroying the Bifrost. Nostradamus waved of Göll's shocked reaction, admitting to the crime and saying it was to satisfy his curiosity. Brunhilde wanted to know the real reason on why he was in her room. Nostradamus answered that wanted to know from her if it was his turn to fight in Ragnarok. Brunhilde told him his turn was a long way off because he was her joker card.

Brunhilde received a message on her phone about Hades being the seventh representative of the gods and Buddha's replacement. Göll and Nostradamus got into Brunhilde's personal space as Nostradamus was being frivolous, while Göll was anxious on how no human could beat Hades. Brunhilde corrected Göll about her assumption and chose "The Ruler Where It All Began", Qin Shi Huang.

The two sisters were unable to find him in his room, leading to Göll and her following the trail of destruction he'd left all the way to the V.I.P seating area. They burst into the room, hitting Ares with the door. Brunhilde scolded Qin for leaving after expressly telling him to stay in his room. Despite Qin's refusal to leave, she asked him to accompany her anyway, apologizing to Hermes for the commotion. After being refused by Qin, she informed him that he was fighting next, causing him to immediately change his mind. Brunhilde tried to get him to accompany her to humanity's entrance, but Qin refused and said that he'd enter from where he was standing.

Brunhilde and Göll watched as Qin entered and performed Völundr with Alvitr, telling her younger sister that they needed to have faith in the duo. As Qin got the upper hand, Brunhilde explained his **Chi You** fighting style, and was shown to be shocked when Hades was able to counter it. She further explained Qin's ability to see qi points or 'stars', calling the puffs of air used to disrupt the points Qin's hidden technique. When asked why Qin wore his blindfold, she responded by saying Qin's gaining of such an excessive ability, meant he also had to lose something in return; such was the nature of man. This was shown to be Qin's mirror touch synthesia.

As the fight continued, Brunhilde also explained Qin Shi Huang's background, stating that his constant battles with his disability turned into a power to see qi points. She was shown to be mortified when Qin's defense was broken by Hades' new Desmos spear. She also expressed concern for Alvitr, explaining her power when she changed from her 'defense' form to her 'offense' form.

She expressed great shock when Qin Shi Huang countered Hades and subsequently won, bowing in respect for the god after his death. She celebrated with her sister after humanity gained the lead. The two also watched Qin and Alvitr in the infirmary, being told that both were in critical condition.

### Eighth Round

Before the eight round began, Brunhilde decided to meet Buddha to check if he'd left his room. However, Adamas confronted them over Hades' death, asking for Qin Shi Huang's location. Brunhilde bowed to greet him, but he merely grew angrier, destroying a portion of the wall and demanding to know where she was keeping Qin. Brunhilde refused to tell him, leading to him trying to kill her before Beelzebub interrupted. The Lord of the Flies cut Adamas' arm off, telling him not to disrupt his enjoyment. Adamas said he didn't care, but Beelzebub convinced him to leave by asking if he meant to belittle the dignity of the gods that Hades exuded. Adamas threatened to kill Brunhilde, Göll and Qin after Ragnarok had ended before he left. Brunhilde expressed thanks to Beelzebub, but he merely warned her than Adamas and him weren't the only ones wishing to wipe out humanity and were struggling to keep the urge under control.

Afterwards, Brunhilde was shown expressing anger over Buddha's disappearance from his sick-room, saying that she no longer cared about where he was. The two approached the next fighter's room, as Brunhilde explained that this man was humanity's one and only sorcerer. The eight fighter for humanity was revealed to be Nikola Tesla, who disagreed with Brunhilde's notion, stating that he despised magic and that he was a scientist. She asked if his project was finished, to which he responded by saying it had been for a while in his brain, and that he just needed the materials to bring it to reality. Brunhilde called Göndul over, who walked over and said she'd been waiting there for some time. She watched as the two performed Völundr, using Göndul's magic to materialize Tesla's Super Automaton β.

Brunhilde watched Beelzebub and Tesla's entrances and commented that the reason the gods hated Beelzebub was just due to his nature. Brunhilde reassured that Nikola would be able to defeat Beelzebub because his armour was the pinnacle of human science. After Tesla was injured by Beelzebub, Brunhilde explained the nature of the latter's **Palmyra** ability, expounding that his left hand was used for defense and his right for attack, adding that his staff was able to increase the power of the ability. She also explained Tesla's anti-gravity technology, saying that he scattered 'super tesla particles' along with the electricity around the arena to allow the system to operate. However, she admitted that she had no actual knowledge on what super tesla particles actually were scientifically.

After Tesla explained the principle behind **Tesla Warp**, Göll asked what would happen if he used all of his coils. Brunhilde theorized that the usage of all 4 of his coils would mean that both Nikola Tesla and Göndul would die. She was shown to be intently watching the conclusion of the round, praying for Tesla's victory, but expressed sadness and disappointment at his loss.

After the round ended, she headed back to her chambers where she paid respects to the fighters who had fought so far. As she shed tears for them, Buddha interrupted her, noting that she was always crying when he approached her. He admitted that he was surprised she was so sentimental. However, she fired back by yelling at him for sneaking out of his room and napping in hers. He got to his feet and grabbed her by the arm, musing that he was only there because he wanted to ask her something. She reluctantly obliged, leading to him asking about her ex-boyfriend Siegfried. He revealed that Siegfried had been imprisoned in Tartarus for a long time, and asked her whether there was a connection between him and Ragnarok. She said he was wrong, and that Siegfried was not her ex-boyfriend, before leaving an awestruck Buddha.

### Ninth Round

Brunhilde and Göll approached the next fighter's room, as the former stated that it meant nothing if humanity put up a good fight but still lost. For that reason, she said she'd chosen history's mightiest rebel: King Leonidas I. The two entered his room as Brunhilde explained the might of the Spartans. She approached Leonidas, who was lying in a hammock and reading. She informed him that he was next to fight, but he declined, He stated that he didn't care who fought in round 9 and that he wanted to fight first or last. Brunhilde goaded him by expressing her disappointment and saying that she felt he'd be the only one who could beat Apollo, and apologized for wasting his time. Leonidas then told her to stop, asking if she was talking about Apollo, the god of the sun. She told him he was correct, causing him to agree to participate in the round. He threw off his shirt and went to prepare.

When Leonidas attacked Apollo immediately, Brunhilde clarified that he hadn't gone for a cheap-shot before the round had officially begun, he'd gone for the attack immediately after Heimdall announced the start. She then explained Leonidas' Völundr, stating that Geirölul was the only one who would suit his power and abilities.

### Tenth Round

Brunhilde was panicking over the two consecutive losses of Humanity and was in a dilemma on which of the remaining fighters she should send to fight for the tenth round. Just as Göll pointed out the remaining fighters' names, Soji Okita appeared behind them and volunteered to go next, swearing he won't lose to anyone. Brunhilde accepted Soji's request and referred to him as Humanity's strongest "Manslayer." Soji thanked her and drew his katana, declaring he shall go forth as the Shinsengumi's First Division Captain.
