I see Lunar Ravana more or less as a slight reference to Lunar Asura. Multiple Arms with multiple swords, and he shifts forms. But keep it in line with the other ones, reuse assets. HeheMaybe there's a tower in some unseen portion of the Shroud that just has Zantetsuken pinning a guy to a wall. Whenever the sword tries to turn him into Odin, the tower seizes control over the aether. Then it spits out a Lunar Odin whenever the previous one dies. That sounds pretty ridiculous to me, but I can't imagine anyone actually worshipping Odin in the first place.
Or, assuming the Save the Queen lore supplanted the old Zantetsuken/Odin/Raiden lore, maybe there actually people out there in the Shroud that were tempered by Zantetsuken/Odin, but not killed. And maybe Fancy Dan went about kidnapping them for his tower.
Or maybe he's just there for fanservice and you're not meant to think about it. But that's not a very satisfying answer, if recent crossover content is any indication. Besides, Lunar Ravana isn't a callback to an FFIV Advance boss, so... I dunno. They could've just given us Garuda, Titan, Lakshmi, or Susano.

"I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
