Ragnarok season 3 ending explained in detail:
What happens to Little O?
Little O is released into the Fjord at the end of Ragnarok season 2 by Laurits. The third and final season sees Laurits regularly keeping tabs on the Midgard serpent.
He regularly goes and feeds the rapidly growing snake breads and later on, the leftovers he collects from restaurants and other places. However, Little O, who calls the snake byrows tired of the bland food.
Meanwhile, an increasingly desperate and scared Fjor begins feeding Little O humans, that he kills and dumps into the river for the serpent’s munching. His desperate plan to make Little O kill Magne works as the serpent takes an intense liking to the human diet
A confrontation between Little O and Magne does happen, during which Magne ends up losing his hammer. He thinks the hammer sunk down the floor of the fjord, while it was actuated down by the serpent.
Meanwhile, Laurits grows more and more concerned about his child. He just wanted to buy enough time but Fjor’s desperation and the inevitable battle endangers the Little O.
At the end of Ragnarok season 3, however, the battle eludes all except for Magne, who partakes in it only inside his head. Before that, Laurits tells Little O to go away, to the far away deep oceans, telling him it’s a natural part of growing up.
It seems Little O has gone away to the oceans but the Ragnarok season 3 finale includes a scene in the middle of the fjord that seems like it’s shot from the point of view of Little O, so the whereabouts of the Midgard serpent are kept ambiguous at best.
Do the giants die?
When Magne uses his hammer, the Jutuls instantly know and take it to be a violation of the truce. Fjor visits Laurits and begins pressuring him to feed and nurture the Midgard serpent effectively, so that it can kill Magne.
Magne continues his efforts at bringing down the Jutuls in the meantime, if not through the hammer, through the legal routes. He finds and convinces a witness named Marit to testify against the Jutuls but they have her killed.
Enraged, Magne uses his hammer to intimidate Ran and Fjor and it works marvelously. They quake at the mere sight of the hammer, in fear for their lives. This instant expression of mortal fear is an overwhelmingly positive sign for Magne.
He begins terrorizing the Jutuls with it and they try to separate him from the hammer. Saxa succeeds in putting him under her spell but doesn’t take away his hammer, because her relationship with him gives her leverage and hierarchical supremacy over Fjor and Ran.
When Little O eats up the hammer and later spits it out, Laurits finds it and gives it to Fjor. Magne and the other gods plan to take Mjolnir back and manage to do so. The inevitable battle awaits them all and the gods decide to partake in it.
The Jutuls see no way out and wage the war as well. However, before the showdown can begin at the battleground, Magne stops them all and brokers peace instead, citing the hopelessness of the giants in the face of Mjolnir’s power.
Both parties come to an understanding and no blood is shed. The Jutuls/giants have to accept the New World Order over their deaths.
This new order entails a better Edda and progressive regime at the company, under which Saxa takes the helm as the CEO while Fjor steps down. The company soon discontinued most polluting production at the factory to accommodate the new times.
In the Ragnarok season 3 finale, Ran continues as the principal and Fjor begins dating Nora. Saxa leads the company with a new approach that’s appropriate and more environmentally friendly.
Do Magne and Signy get together?
Yes, they do get together before Ragnarok season 3 concludes. At the beginning of the season, Magne lets the power that his hammer, and by extension he held over the Jutuls.
Saxa uses this to her advantage and under her spell, Magne continues to let the arrogance blot his mindscape. He develops a taste for money and becomes materialistic, and Saxa satisfies his cravings, both materialistic and later physical ones.
Magne starts growing distant from all his loved ones and the other gods, resulting in the alliance being broken, which is what happens to Magne’s relationship with Signy as well.
Disturbed and confused by his erratic and uncharacteristic behavior, she asks for a break but Magne uses that break to simply move on to Saxa, beginning a saucy relationship with her without ever calling it quits with Signy, which hurts her heart even more.
It is Wotan who manages to get Magne over to come to his trance of arrogance. He shows him the vision as his own and it’s clear to Magne that he continues to suffer from fears of letting Isolde down, as well as Signy.
The series ends with him visiting Signy and apologizing to her. He then texts her, asking her to forgive him, with no reply from her for days, until they meet at the graduation ceremony.
She initially tells him that she fears he’ll repeat his behavior again but later on she does accept him into her life again, asking him to give it his best and she’ll do the same, and only then will she be his girlfriend again.
The two embrace and by the end of Ragnarok, they’re hanging out together as the love birds they were before.
