The only exception are Brunhilde herself (but she's likely taking the place of Hildr as their names are essentially the same, "armor battle" and "battle", respectively), and Alvitr, who comes from a completely different source. Meaningful Name: All of their names are taken from the Grímnismál of the Poetic Edda, which provides the names of 13 different Valkyries in Norse mythology.Magic Enhancement: Human weapons are unable to damage the Gods, so when the Valkyries turn into Volunds, they give the weapon they turn into the power to hurt or even kill deities, allowing the human fighters to fight equally against their divine adversaries.Later, Hlökk retires from the battlefield by flying after Jack wins his round. Flight: One of them appears flying in the scene where Brunhilde summons them to assist the human warriors in the tournament.Equippable Ally: They become the weapons of the Einherjar thanks to the Volund ritual, also giving their partner the capacity to harm and kill gods.Empathic Weapon: The Volund ritual allows them to become the preferred weapon of the human to which they performed the Volund with, giving them their abilities and indirectly helping them in the battle.Even the one case where a Valkyrie was shown to receive some injuries (Randgriz during the first fight), it was only a few bruises, while her partner lost both of his arms, broke his legs, and was decapitated gruesomely.
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: While is implied they suffer the same pain as their human partner (since their souls are bonded), as the human warriors are the ones who get in the action, the Valkyries suffer little to no injuries during the matches, and if one of them dies, she usually does it as a spirit showing little damage from the fight.Anyone Can Die: Since they are connected to the soul of the human warrior to which they performed the Volund ritual, they will also die if so does their human partner.Amazon Brigade: They're valkyries, so that is a must.

Any issue you have towards other users should be dealt with through the report button.Keep content relevant to the series, and refrain from toxicity. This sub is not a breeding ground for pushing your emotional/ political agenda.Treat them with the same respect you expect to receive. 13 gods will fight against 13 human champions in one-on-one battles to decide whether humanity lives or dies. But a lone valkyrie puts forward a suggestion to let the gods and humanity fight one last battle, as a last hope for humanity's continued survival. The story begins when the gods call a convention to decide whether to let humanity live or die, and settle on destroying humanity.
