— Thor to Lü Bu in Thirteen Gods and Thirteen Humans
|
Thor is the Gods' representative in the first round of Ragnarok, going against Lü Bu.
Thor is a prominent deity in the Norse Pantheon, being the Nordic God of Thunder, and is also often regarded as Nordic's Strongest Warrior and God.[1] He is known as the "Thunder Berserker" (雷の狂戦士, Ikazuchi no Bāsākā).
Appearance[]
Thor takes the form of an extremely tall and muscular man with long, red hair that goes past his waist, yellow (greenish yellow in anime) eyes with black sclera. Numerous golden patterns emanate from his hands and eyes. Thor dons a white sash around his torso. Several brown belts can be seen around his waist with one worn diagonally. He also wears two leggings that go pass his knees.
In combat, Thor can be seen carrying two Divine Weapons: a gigantic hammer, Mjölnir, and two gloves, Járngreipr.
Personality[]
Thor appears as an icy, cold, and indifferent God; remaining largely expressionless during his bout with Lu Bu.
However, his true nature was unveiled in battle - similar to Lü Bu, Thor is a bloodthirsty battle maniac and takes great interest in combat; especially with strong and/or worthy opponents. Furthermore, he only shows happiness and joy in true battle, displaying his finest smile in the first round of Ragnarok.[2] Thor is also a man of few words, not speaking unless absolutely necessary or when in combat. He often does not show this and has a more stoic and aloof expression on his face most of the time, making him seem unapproachable to others.
Despite this, he shows great honour and sportsmanship, making sure to pay tribute to Lü Bu by addressing him by name, and dispatching his fiercely loyal followers, so they can join him in glory. He holds great respect for the warriors who have fought and died in Ragnarok (both Gods and Humans), so much he stop a fight between Buddha, Beelzebub and his own father Odin and admonished them for fighting outside of the arena.
Abilities[]
Overall Abilities: Thor is regarded as the "Nordic's Strongest Warrior" and thus possesses nearly unparalleled power in combat and strength. He once took on an army of 66 Jötunns by himself,[3] obliterating each giant with just a single swing form his hammer, making him a legendary figure within the Nordic Pantheon.
Physical Abilities[]
Godly Strength: As the Nordic's Strongest Warrior and God, Thor possesses an unfathomable physical strength and power which allows him to wield his hammer, Mjölnir, one-handed without difficulty and even kill the World Serpent, Jörmungandr (a giant serpent that might be large enough to surround the Earth and grasp its own tail), in a single blow with one of his ultimate techniques.[4] Thor is stated to be strong enough to tear apart the seas and lands with his hammer and even shatter the Earth itself.
Godly Speed & Reflexes: As a God, Thor possesses an unfathomable speed and reflexes, being able to swing his hammer at unimaginable speeds. During his battle against the Jötunns, Thor's attacks were so fast that the giants were unable to see or even perceive his attacks. Thor was also able to keep up with Lu Bu's speed and reaction time.
Godly Endurance & Stamina: As a God, Thor showed no signs of fatigue throughout his fight with Lü Bu. Even after being cut by the Chinese Hero, Thor didn't show any signs of pain and managed to continue the fight without any issue.
Fighting Abilities[]
Master Hammerman: Thor uses a giant hammer as his weapon of choice, likely possessing over a thousand years worth of experience. He is skilled enough to defeat an entire army of giants alone and he possesses multiple techniques which he can use to kill and obliterate his opponents. Despite the hammer's immense size, Thor can wield it without any issue and is even capable of using its immense weight to his advantage.
Supernatural Abilities[]
Semi-Immortality: Like all Gods, Thor is eternally youthful, being incapable of dying due to old age.
Divine Physiology: As a God, Thor possesses physical abilities far greater than any ordinary Human. His body cannot be harmed by mortal weapons, however, he can be harmed by unarmed attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.
Electrokinesis:[5] As the God of Thunder, Thor possesses absolute control over divine electricity and lightning and can use it in combat. He demonstrated this ability during his fight with Lü Bu as he coats his left forearm in electricity before latching onto his hammer in preparation for one of his signature moves.
Teleportation:[6] In the anime, Thor teleported from the outside to the center of the arena. This technique was later confirmed to be canon in the databook. It is unknown what are the limitations of this ability, including its maximum travel distance and the amount of times Thor can use it.
Menacing Aura: Much like his father, Odin, Thor has a naturally menacing aura and presence, striking fear into anyone he glares at. His aura was so menacing that it petrified Göll and even frightened and caused the normally calm and collected Brunhilde to lose her cool.[7] However, some beings are immune to this power, Lü Bu being a good example of this.
