8. Speculation on Ragnir and Thor's Hammer Motif
- ✅ Ragnir seems to be inspired by the setting where only those who are worthy can lift Thor's hammer 'Mjolnir' from Norse mythology.
- ✅ Ragnir is likely guarding the legendary fruit as a hammer that has eaten a Devil Fruit.
- ✅ Loki is expected to pass Ragnir's test and gain not only Elbaf's legendary fruit but also the weapon Ragnir.
07:34 - 08:28
9. Speculation on the Ability of the Legendary Fruit Loki Ate: Fenrir
- ✅ The legendary fruit that Loki ate is likely a Mythical Zoan model 'Fenrir.'
- ✅ There were huge claw marks in Auruust Castle, and it is highly likely that they were left by Loki while fighting the demon Haralds.
- ✅ In Norse mythology, Fenrir is chained up and causes Ragnarok to destroy the world for revenge, and Loki is also chained up and wants to destroy the world for revenge, which is similar.
08:29 - 09:38
10. Speculation on the Ability of the Legendary Fruit Loki Ate: Surtr
- ✅ The legendary fruit that Loki ate may also be the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan model 'Flame Giant Surtr.'
- ✅ Surtr exists to burn the world when Ragnarok comes, which is connected to the fact that Loki said he would cause the world's end, Ragnarok.
- ✅ Considering that Adam's weakness is lightning and fire, if Ragnir is in charge of lightning, the rest is likely Surtr.
09:39 - 10:14
11. Elbaf's Sword and Loki's Future
- ✅ The giant sword stuck in Elbaf Adammu may be a foreshadowing that Loki will eat the Mythical Zoan model Surtr and use that sword in the future, just as Surtr burned Yggdrasil with a giant flame sword.
- ✅ The reason why Loki called himself the sun god who destroys the world can also be connected to Surtr.
