Record of Ragnarok Chapter 54 Summary
In Chapter 54 titled “What I Desired”, Zerofuku’s internal struggle reaches a peak. Memories of his efforts to save humans resurface, showing how he once gave everything to take away their misery. But instead of gratitude, he was met with fear and rejection. This pain twisted his heart into resentment. In the present, Buddha continues to fight without hatred, using his staff to deflect every strike. The crowd watches in silence as two very different worldviews collide. Buddha’s ability to remain grounded in compassion only enrages Zerofuku further. Despite being attacked repeatedly, Buddha offers words of understanding instead of violence. This chapter highlights the dangers of being misunderstood and the power of acceptance. It is a touching and intense examination of what it means to be rejected by those you try to help.
