## Episode Chronology

**Great Emulation** is the 6th episode of the "*Shuumatsu no Valkyrie: Record of Ragnarok*" anime.

## Synopsis

Zeus insists on going up against Adam, who joins forces with Valkyrie Reginleif to obtain a most peculiar weapon: a knuckleduster.

## Plot

Before the announcement of the second fight, Shiva prepares to go out.

Shiva decides to hold a bit, so that he doesn't turn his opponent in ash in an instant. Zeus then taps Shiva on the shoulder and states its his turn. Shiva states its his turn and Zeus goes last, but Zeus kept insisting its his turn. Shiva gets angry, but Zeus pushes him to his knees.

Surprised by that, Shiva decides to give up his turn, however angry, he wishes to go a few rounds with Zeus right now. As Zeus doesn't budge, Shiva eventually calms down and tells him he owns him one. Zeus gets happy and starts to laugh as he heads towards the arena, while Hermes is disappointed they didn't fight. The second round is about to start and Ares takes a seat next to Hermes. Zeus asks Adam if he won't get a Völundr as without it, the fight will end in an instant.

Adam points to the sky and states the Valkyrie is already here. Reginleif is up in the sky on a Pegasus. Brunhilde comments she is the most appropriate Valkyrie for Adam, the seventh Valkyrie, Reginleif, Daughter of the Gods. Reginleif jumps down and tells Adam to give her his hand and that their hearts must be on the same wavelength for her to become part of him. As they touch, she becomes a Volund and Adam's weapon, a knuckleduster on his right hand.

Zeus comment that Adam has picked a nice weapon. Adam agrees and refers to Zeus as "pal" and asks where is his weapon.

Zeus states he will be fighting bare-knuckle as he wants to hear his bones creak, however Adam tells him he will regret it. Zeus decides to start the fight and in an instant in about 0,01 seconds he closes the distance between him and Adam, and attempts to punch, but Adam dodges. Zeus keeps increasing his speed and uses Meteor Jab at 0,00001, however Adam keeps dodging with ease.

Zeus increases his speed even more and punches at 0,00000001 seconds, Adam still dodges.

Zeus instantly follows with a kick, Divine Axe, going for Adam's lower body, however, Adam jumps over the attack. Zeus is excited, but states that just running away won't get him anywhere. Adam states he is aware of that and then in an 0,01 seconds attacks and causes a small wound on Zeus' cheek. Adam then keeps increasing his speed and copies Zeus' Meteor Jab at 0,00001 seconds. All of Adam's attacks him. He then uses Divine Axe, again copying Zeus and hitting him on the leg.

Göll is surprised that Adam could copy a god's techniques. Brunhilde explains that Adam was created in God's image, therefore he is able to copy all gods techniques he sees with his ability, Divine Reflection. Zeus likes what Adam is capable of, but wonders if he can dodge his next attack. He starts special footwork preparation and moving around Adam with high speed. Eventually he closes and attempts to kick Adam, however Adam once again dodges and using his copying abilities starts doing the same footwork and kicks Zeus.

This causing Zeus to hit the wall and go down. Adam states he doesn't really want to do this, but its a competition and apologizes to "grandpa" Zeus. Hearing that, Zeus gets even more buffed. Zeus then prepares a new attack, wondering if Adam will be able to copy it. Back at Titanomachy, the Battle to Determine the Most Powerful God in the Universe, a younger Zeus had defeated all of his opponents without even getting hit.

But as he faced his father, Kronos, he received a hit to the jaw without even managing to see it. He still defeated Kronos and smashed his head. Zeus had learned his father's technique and named it The Fist That Surpassed Time, a blow that defies all laws of time. As he launches it against Adam, the time seemingly stops, however, Adam still copies it and hits him with it, causing Zeus to fall to the ground and surprises all.
