Kin-chan is the 65th chapter of the "Shuumatsu no Valkyrie: Record of Ragnarok" manga series.

Summary

Hades, King of the Netherworld, has lost. In the fallout of this absolutely unforeseeable outcome, both the losers (the Gods) and the victors (mankind) were at a loss for words. Still in disbelief and calling this an unimaginable upset, Heimdall declares the winner of the ultimate King-vs-King battle was The King Where It All Began, Qin Shi Huang. In response, Humanity all erupt with cheers.

Brunhilde and Göll celebrate Qin Shi Huang's victory in the Seventh Round

A delighted Brunhilde spins Göll around while Jack the Ripper looks at Hlökk jumping into the air with joy.

Kojiro Sasaki, Hrist, Soji Okita and Isami Kondo all celebrate, as do the Chinese Emperors and the soldiers of Qin.

Holding a cheering Chun Ou in her arms, Chun Yan looks ahead with a proud smile, all while Heimdall questions whether or not this is all a dream, reality or a nightmare. The Gods can't believe Hades lost, with some even falling to their knees. The Goujian Sword deforms and reverts back into Alvitr, whose body is wounded all over. She falls forward but Qin Shi Huang catches her before she can hit the ground. He then winces as the pain of Alvitr's shoulder wound is seared onto him. Alvitr tells Qin Shi Huang not to push himself since he's more banged up than her but Qin Shi Huang replies with "Moumantai."

Qin Shi Huang collapses to the ground due to his severe injuries

Alvitr remarks on how it sure doesn't look like she shouldn't worry and has Qin Shi Huang sling his arm over her. As they walk towards the exit, Alvitr says they should go to the medbay together before calling it a miracle that they're even alive right now. Qin Shi Huang disagrees with Alvitr and reminds her that he told her to trust him. Alvitr says that Qin Shi Huang really is stupid, only to repeat it as he begins leaning on her. Just when Alvitr complains that he's too heavy, Qin Shi Huang falls to the ground, which causes Alvitr to exclaim his real name in a panic. Heimdall then shouts for paramedics and having seen him collapse, Kojiro says that he's out of energy but that was still a shocker, which Soji agrees with.

Hrist is still amazed that they managed to beat Hades before wondering how they still had enough strength left to shatter Hades' spear. Kojiro bluntly states that they didn't and recalls how, in the split second that Qin Shi Huang received Hades' fearsome thrust, he fired Tortoise Ripple at Desmos' Qi crux. Hrist is surprised that even spears have cruxes of Qi but Kojiro says they normally don't. In this case, when Hades spilled his blood onto his bident, it became a part of his body.

Kojiro Sasaki explains to Hrist how Qin Shi Huang and Alvitr managed to defeat Hades

In other words, Desmos was alive and since it was alive, Qin Shi Huang could see its "star." Hrist gets that Qin Shi Huang hit Desmos with Tortoise Ripple to weaken Hades' killer strike but doubts that would've been enough to destroy the spear. Soji adds that Qin Shi Huang used Hades' own power against him. Realizing he's talking about Heavenly Hand of Defense, Hrist does remember seeing Qin Shi Huang use it but doesn't believe it did anything. Kojiro explains that normally, Heavenly Hand of Defense takes an attack from one's opponent and then circulates it through one's own body to send it back at their opponent. But right then, Qin Shi Huang took the force of Hades' attack and stored it inside of Alvitr (as the Goujian Sword), who had become one with him through Völundr.

Hrist understands that Qin Shi Huang then converted the force of Hades' attack inside of Alvitr into power that allowed him to destroy Desmos. Hrist admits she was worried about Qin Shi Huang and Alvitr when they were paired up but it looks like they ended up having really great chemistry. Kojiro compliments Alvitr for being able to put up with storing that much power, a fact that Hrist is proud of. Sitting down, Isami notes that Qin Shi Huang was just full of surprises this round.

Adamantine doesn't care about Ragnarok and decides to go find Qin Shi Huang to get revenge

He says that the Emperor must've had fearsome willpower to have done all that, while suffering such deep wounds. Soji agrees as Qin Shi Huang could've fallen if he had taken even just one misstep and calls him an interesting guy for his all-or-nothing move. Sighing, Kojiro doubts they'd find anyone more worthy of the title of "King", even if they look back through all of history. At the Greek Gods' viewing room, Ares breaks the balcony in anger as he exclaims how this can't be possible. Adamantine suddenly breaks down the doors and Hermes asks where he's going. Adamantine yells about how he doesn't care about Ragnarok or its rules: he'll deal with this the way he wants to. As Adamantine walks off, Hermes asks a silent Zeus if he's alright with that. Zeus suddenly addresses Hermes by name and somberly recalls how, at the end, Hades apologized. Hermes and Ares look at him in silence as the fires atop the skeleton-like pillars die out.

A while after, Heimdall recounts how both Round 6 and Round 7 have led to consecutive wins for mankind. Now, the score stands at 4-3. Heimdall proclaims the impossible has finally happened – mankind has taken the lead over the Gods before declaring the fighting stage is currently undergoing a first-class makeover, specially made for Round 8.

Brunhilde and Göll look on at Qin Shi Huang and Alvitr while they are in the midst of recovering

Elsewhere, in a dilapidated part of the Valhalla Arena, there is a door labelled "Do Not Use". Inside, Brunhilde and Göll look through a glass screen. On the other side are both Qin Shi Huang and Alvitr, each stored inside a recovery pod. Leaning her face against the glass, Göll hopes that Alvitr and Qin Shi Huang will be alright. One doctor says that, putting Alvitr aside, Qin Shi Huang is in a critical condition. What will happen now will depend on his own will to live. After they leave that room, Göll expresses how amazed she is that the two won Round 7. As they go up some stairs, Göll raves about how they beat Hades and took the lead. As Brunhilde stays silent, they come out onto an open bridge and Göll fist-pumps about how if they get 3 more wins, then they'll be able to win Ragnarok. Following her into a different tower, Göll asks Brunhilde where they're going. Now in a hallway lined with statues of knights, Brunhilde reveals she wants to check up on Buddha.

Göll remembers that Buddha was in a pretty bad condition too and suggests they may not be allowed to see him. Brunhilde believes that is possible, if Buddha isn't in his room. Just as Göll questions why he wouldn't be, a voice calls out to the two Valkyries.

Adamantine threatens Brunhilde and Göll with death if they don't tell him Qin Shi Huang's whereabouts

Turning around, they are confronted by Adamantine, who questions where they hid Qin Shi Huang. Not knowing who this is, Göll thinks about how he looks like trouble. Bowing down, Brunhilde says it's good to see Adamas. Göll can't believe this is Adamas since she heard he was killed by Poseidon and she begins to believe he's a ghost. Brunhilde reveals she had heard rumors he was still alive and they seem to be true. Digging his claws into a nearby pillar, Adamantine looks down on Brunhilde and demands she tell him where Qin Shi Huang is as that is the only reason he hasn't killed her yet.

Sweating, Brunhilde says she cannot tell him that and Adamantine decides he doesn't need her alive. He swings his left hand at her and Göll tries to cover for Brunhilde, only for them all to be surprised when Adamantine's left hand is suddenly cut off. Looking back, Adamantine tells Beelzebub to stay out of his way. Walking forward, Beelzebub points out that Ragnarok would be over if Brunhilde died and he warns Adamantine not to deprive him of his enjoyment. Adamantine doesn't care and the two stand off against each other.

Beelzebub warns Brunhilde and Göll that there are still many Gods who want to exterminate Humanity

Just when it seems like they might fight, Beelzebub asks Adamantine if he intends to belittle the dignity of the Gods that Hades had exuded in his fight. Thinking of his brother, Adamantine insists he doesn't care, only to start walking away. Putting his mask back on, Adamantine swears to kill both Brunhilde and Qin Shi Huang, once Ragnarok is over. Letting out a sigh of relief, Göll falls to the floor and admits she thought they were gonna die. As Beelzebub goes to pick up Adamantine's severed hand, Brunhilde thanks him for coming to their aid. Beelzebub suddenly warns Brunhilde to be careful and as he holds up the severed hand, Beelzebub expresses how he doubts he and Adamantine are the only Gods who wish to wipe out all of Humanity and are finding it hard to control that urge. Odin and an angered Loki are shown while he says this.

Away from the Valhalla Arena, under the tree he was at before his round, a bandaged Buddha lays down with a lollipop in his mouth, a basket of lollipops next to him and two birds also sitting nearby.

Sakata Kintoki reaches Buddha

Taking the lollipop out of his mouth, Buddha finds the place to be great because of the fresh air, only to jolt up as he feels his body throbbing. With the two birds very startled, Buddha guesses he should've stayed in his room a little longer. Someone approaches and sighs about how they knew they'd find Buddha here. Leaning against the tree, Buddha admits he didn't expect the figure to be here, calling him "Kin-chan." It's revealed to be a fighter for Humanity, Sakata Kintoki. Kintoki tells Buddha not to sneak out of his sickroom without telling anyone and feels sorry for the medical team that are looking around for him. When Buddha says the sickroom is too boring, Kintoki compares him to a child.

Buddha insists he'll heal quicker here as the two birds perch themselves on him. Scratching his head, Kintoki guesses it's hopeless and sets down a large barrel he's been carrying. Opening it up, Kintoki reveals this is his get-well-soon gift and it's shown to be filled with his own branded candy. Delighted, Buddha begins munching on one and says that Kintoki's candy rocks, prompting Kintoki to bring up how Buddha is the only person he knows that chomps right through it.

Buddha asks Sakata Kintoki to find the Dragon-Slaying Hero, Siegfried

Thinking about something, Buddha suddenly leans his elbow against the ground and says he has a favor to ask of Kintoki. Kintoki tells him to say no more and when Buddha mentions how he hasn't said anything, Kintoki smiles about how he has no reason to turn down a request from Buddha.

Buddha smiles back and calls Kintoki an icon. Kintoki questions what Buddha wants him to do and Buddha says he wants Kintoki to look into someone. Kintoki asks who it is and Buddha says it is the man who will shake up Ragnarok – the Dragon-Slaying Hero, Siegfried.
