Anubis is the Egyptian god of the underworld in the series Record of Ragnarok, depicted as a male deity who becomes involved in the selection of divine fighters for the Ragnarok tournament.
Anubis is introduced as the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld, embodying death and the passage of souls.
He is portrayed as calm yet pragmatic, with a particular fascination for the scent of death that surrounds mortals near their end.
Originally, Anubis was scheduled to fight in the tenth round of Ragnarok on the gods’ side.
His participation had already been approved by the other gods, and his spot in the match was officially decided.
The arrangement changed when Susanoo, another god, arrived late and forcefully declared his own intention to fight in the tenth round.
This sudden claim led to a heated argument between Anubis and Susanoo over who should rightfully take part in the match.
Anubis attempted to reason with Susanoo, but found that his words did not get through at all.
Frustrated and seeing the discussion as a waste of time, he ultimately gave up and ceded his right to fight in the tenth round to Susanoo.
This decision was not made lightly, but more out of annoyance and fatigue than genuine agreement.
Anubis effectively stepped aside, allowing Susanoo to officially become the tenth-round representative for the gods.
Later, Anubis observes the battle between Soji Okita and Susanoo as a spectator.
While watching, he becomes intensely excited by the “scent of death” emanating from Soji Okita, something that appeals strongly to his underworld nature.
As the fight unfolds and the atmosphere grows more lethal, Anubis realizes just how compelling this confrontation is to him.
He begins to regret having yielded his position, wishing he had not given up his chance to participate in the tenth round.
