Record of Ragnarok Chapter 53 Summary
Chapter 53 titled “How Fortunate” reveals more about Buddha’s past and how he reached enlightenment. Through flashbacks, we learn about his life as Prince Siddhartha and his decision to reject comfort and search for truth. His transformation into the Enlightened One came not from power, but from compassion. In the present, Buddha uses his Eighth Consciousness ability to read Zerofuku’s intentions and counter them smoothly. Zerofuku becomes more unstable, unable to understand why Buddha shows no fear or anger. The gods grow anxious as Buddha continues to turn away wrath with peace. This chapter emphasizes spiritual growth and the strength of empathy. Buddha’s composure is his weapon, and his ability to remain centered becomes more powerful than brute force. His words and actions continue to disarm his volatile opponent.
