Record of Ragnarok Chapter 36 Summary
In Chapter 36 titled Gentle Sinner, Jack the Ripper’s tragic depth is explored further. His power to see emotions has turned life into a lonely existence where genuine human connection remains out of reach. The young Jack yearned for warmth but instead was met with betrayal and fear. As an adult, he interprets cruelty as the only path to feeling something real. Meanwhile, Hercules continues to fight with unwavering honor, refusing to despise his opponent. The contrast between Jack’s calculated cruelty and Hercules’s compassion becomes the emotional core of the chapter. Flashbacks emphasize that Jack’s descent into violence was not born of pleasure but of desperation. This chapter challenges readers to consider whether someone as broken as Jack is beyond saving, or if deep within, he still clings to the dream of being loved.
