Ähnlichkeiten findet man bei Bundahischn und Dschamschid:

These parallels include comparisons of a cosmic winter motif between the Norse Fimbulwinter, the Iranian Bundahishn and Yima.[52]

In der Ragnarök soll Vidar Odins Tod durch den Fenriswolf rächen und als einer von wenigen Göttern die Schlacht überleben. Ähnliches gibt es bei Vishnu:

Víðarr's stride has been compared to the Vedic god Vishnu in that both have a "cosmic stride" with a special shoe used to tear apart a beastly wolf.[52]

Das Thema "Letzte Schlachten" findet man in manchen Indo-Europäischen Kulturen:

Larger patterns have also been drawn between "final battle" events in Indo-European cultures, including the occurrence of a blind or semi-blind figure in "final battle" themes, and figures appearing suddenly with surprising skills

Ähnlichkeiten gibt es in Muspilli und Heliand (in Verbindung mit dem letzten Gericht der christlichen Mythologie).

Theories have been proposed about the relation between Ragnarök and the 9th century Old High German epic poem Muspilli about the Christian Last Judgment, where the word Muspille appears, and the 9th century Old Saxon epic poem Heliand about the life of Christ, where various other forms of the word appear.

Ich würde auf den Buddhismus tippen, wo er weder in der Essenz, noch im Wort verstanden wird.
