Conflicting Motives The three swordsmen hold their own against the gods until Zeus and Odin force them all to stop and return to their rooms. To capitalize on humanity's momentum, Brünnhilde pays a visit to the colossal Raiden Tameemon, the most powerful sumo wrestler in history. His partner will be the third Valkyrie, Thrud. Raiden falls in love with her because of her size and muscles, amazing her since those qualities usually turn men off. For the fifth match, the arena is arranged like a sumo ring. After Raiden is introduced, his opponent is revealed to be the god Shiva.
