Among the characters in Record of Ragnarok, Beelzebub stands out as a unique figure who represents the gods but takes the form of a demon. Not only is he the mastermind behind Hajun’s tragedy in round 6, but this god also has a tragic past and a power that shakes the entire arena.
Here are some fascinating facts about the “Lord of the Flies” Beelzebub that fans won’t want to miss!
1. The god with many dark titles
Beelzebub carries a vast and intimidating array of names. To humans, he is known as the Lord of the Flies. Among the gods, he is called “Anatema”, the one cursed by Satan.
He also holds many other dark titles such as the God of Darkness, the Gluttonous Monk, and the Lord of Evil Souls. Sometimes, he is worshiped under the name Baal-Zebul or even equated with Satan himself.
2. A desperate longing for death
From the very first trailers, Beelzebub shocked fans by opening with a plea to someone to end his life. He seems to have lost all will to continue living.
His depression stems from being unable to take his own life because a tattoo from Lilith prevents him from doing so. As a result, his greatest wish is to find a worthy opponent strong enough to kill him.
3. The entity of Satan dwelling within
The real reason Beelzebub wants to die is because a mysterious entity is parasitizing his body. Whenever Beelzebub falls deeply in love, Satan takes control and kills the person he cherishes most. This tragic curse has cost Beelzebub all his closest friends.
There are rumors that Satan is a primordial god once sealed alongside Odin, but the exact connection between this entity and the one inside Beelzebub remains a mystery.
4. The mad doctor with masterful medical skills
Despite his dark reputation, Beelzebub is an expert in medicine and technology. The clearest example is when he performed surgery to save Adamas after Poseidon brutally attacked him. Beelzebub replaced damaged body parts with machinery, turning Adamas into the cyborg he is today.
5. The mastermind behind Hajun’s tragedy
In round 6, when Zerofuku faced Buddha, the entity Hajun suddenly emerged from within Zerofuku. The culprit behind this horrific resurrection was none other than Beelzebub. He collected Hajun’s remains, processed them into a “seed,” and implanted it into Zerofuku’s horn as an experiment.
6. Power to manipulate vibrations
Beelzebub’s combat strength comes from manipulating vibrations at extremely high frequencies. He can make body parts vibrate so intensely that they cut through or destroy anything with ease. Even Nikola Tesla’s advanced technological armor suffered heavy damage from this ability. This power is further enhanced by the Apomyius scepter, a gift from Hades during their first meeting.
7. Narrow victory over genius Nikola Tesla
In round 8 of Ragnarok, Beelzebub faced off against the greatest scientist in human history, Nikola Tesla. The battle was intense, with Tesla using electricity and teleportation while Beelzebub countered with vibration waves. Ultimately, Beelzebub proved his superiority by unleashing the Satan’s Horns technique, piercing Tesla’s defenses and finishing him off.
