Oooooh. I was just re-researching Norse myths to see what elements they might take from that and firstly, I noticed that the idea of Ragnarok lines up perfectly with the sengoku theme. Urrbody fights, a few are left at the end, and they recreate the world. Secondly, we already have one alternate realm called the Helheim forest, but so far we don't have the name of the fictional town they live in, or know about any other realms. Helheim is the bottom of the 9 worlds, and is supposed to be the world of the dead, maybe that means the beasts that live there used to be people before they died? Also, this makes me wonder if the tow will be named, or based on Midgard, the realm of the humans on the Yggdrasil tree. It also makes me wonder if we will see other realms, like Asgard, the realm of the gods. Thirdly, an interesting quote from wikipedia: "Animals continually feed on the tree(Yggdrasil), threatening it, but its vitality persists evergreen as it heals and nourishes the vibrant aggression of life." There are a lot of other interesting specifics too, like a dragon whos always gnawing on yggdrasil, and the hierarchy of gods, who may likely become some of the higher up villains or characters. I'm wondering how this whole thing will mesh with the japanese folk-lore based eneies as well. I'm way too excited.
Edit: I'm curious how long the norse theme was there, because I also find it interesting that there is an eagle at the top of the tree, and a dragon at the bottom, and a suirrel that ran up and down relaying insuits between them hahaha. Anyways you never know, the Eagle could've been the bird gai is based on? I also wonder if the norse bit might've been urobochi's doing though, which would've meant it came later. I know there was some norse stuff in madoka.
