| Quite an episode to end the first half of this season. From the events of the last episode, one would actually think that a human individual would be able to learn from their previous mistakes. Apparently not in the case of Olmar, as he made a fool of himself once again. The action he pulled in front of the king is entirely his own fault, no matter how shameful it may be. Unfortunately, these 5 losers had an easy time provoking him with their comments and laughter. Did Olmar seriously think that a duel would restore his or his family name's "honor"? There would never be a chance that he would only make things worse by doing this, right? Right? If this duel had taken a normal course, Olmar would not have survived, but of course this was all part of Canute's plan. The 5 men were only used as bait to goad Olmar into attacking them, giving Canute not only an excuse to have Ketil imprisoned, but an even easier time for him to confiscate his farm. However, Canute had not factored in the possible disruptive factor in the form of Thorgil, who was making short work of all his sent men. Thorgil is truly a beast with a sword. Ultimately, Thorgil, Ketil, and Olmar were able to escape with Leif's help, but with over 100 men heading towards Ketil's Farm, things are looking pretty bad. |

| This episode was straight gorgeous. Can't let a mans pride get wasted. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| 4/5 I probably went too hard on Olmar last episode because my tolerance for his character after this one has decreased a bit but mostly thanks to his older Gigachad brother Olmar gets bullied pretty hard, all according to Canute's plan overlooked by the coin guy. They literally made him cry and question his manhood & intelligence, which I would say would get any sane person to crack... which he does but to fail miserably. This reality check was much needed for his character and im delighted that we got it. Thorgill chimes in to hard-ass his brother to fight his bullies. Olmar tries and succeeds, partly aided by the coin guy but quickly crumbles into insecurity yet again. Thorgill meanwhile, starts to butcher his brother's defiant mercilessly all the while enjoying it to his fullest. The animation really goes off as he starts beheading, chopping, ANNIHILATING everyone and everything in his way. I can even see the Thorkell comparison when it comes to bat-shit fuckery but Thorgill has it more toned down than his adversary. It would be crazy to see them fight in the future considering they're on the opposite conflicting sides now Thorgill, having figured out Canute's deceit towards his father & his family, deserts his position and retreats back to the farm with his father & brother. Lief helps them escape with his own encounter with Thorfinn looming ever closer. Every pieces has been placed, now it's time to let em all loose is what I got from this run-time Absolutely enjoyed the episode throughout. The facial expressions were the clear stand outs along with fluid sakuga moments. Emotions and savegery were both portrayed in a niche fashion. Very much looking forward to the next cour ~~ |
 |
| Another fantastic episode. The cinematography was stunning once again! I love this adaptation so much! |
| Damn, lots of gore in this ep. I wonder in what direction will Olmar's character go now. Thorgil turned out to be quite sharp. Canute really is cruel. He's joining up with Floki soon Looks like almost every character is about to be at Ketil's farm. This could very well be phenomenal for character developments. |
 |
| canute is annoying >:( leave the ketil family alone. i want ketil, his dad and the farm peeps to live a calm sweet harvest moon life and not deal with this shit |
ArekiViolet said: Really? Is there any gore? Because what I saw was that everything was blacked out. 0451 said: on netflix it's not censored at all, him killing those men was so godly satisfying I came here to read the discussion and hate on CanuteI know Olmar is pathetic and all, but I can't help but pity him. I wish he'd get some sort of growth. I loved how Thorgil defended his family. That scene with Thorgil killing all those men was so good. Unfortunately, they had to censor it a lot. Hopefully, in the Blu-ray it's completely uncensored. |
| Thorgil, what a beast he is when he can swing his sword! That action sequence looked really epic. Poor Ketil. It is not clear for him and everyone else that his estate's situation is worse than bad. |
| The contrast between the two siblings was beautiful. |
| So that was Canute's plan. I can see how much of a polar opposite he's becoming. I sure as hell never guessed that he would become like this when I saw him in S1. Ketil has become muddled in all of this mess. Thorgil is a beast fr. Even though those guards were fodder, he sliced them up in mere seconds. Olmar got his first kill and he doesn't seem too happy about it. Definitely not after he discovered that it was all set up. Leif managed to smuggle the Ketil family and is searching for Thorfinn now. It seems like Thorfinn and Einar will also fight during the siege on Ketil's farm. Floki will also be joining the fight. |

| They intentionally sent these people to get on his nerves. They’re setting him up, and now they have an excuse to take their father’s land away. I can’t believe they both fell for it. Duals are forbidden, how stubborn can they be. Thorgil figured it out at least. Canute, don’t do this, you’re falling for the crown’s curse. You’re becoming just like your father. You could’ve easily asked them to collaborate with you instead of relaying on underhanded methods. Leif saved the day!! |
 |
| Looks like the climax is gonna be at Ketil's farm and everyone's gonna be there. Leif and Thorfinn will finally meet again, hopefully. |
 |
| Ooof setting us up for the second half in some style! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Thorgil may be ruthless but at least he values his family. He looked so insane when he found out they would be against the king! Exciting episode as usual. Canute is getting closer to Thorfinn. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| He's wasting his blessings. If I were Olmar, I would've just stayed and managed the farm while screwing pretty peasant girls left and right. Cnut is such a ruthless and cunning person. Both traits are needed to run a successful realm. If you are nice, you either become a figurehead or be assassinated. I knew trouble was brewing on the horizon for Thorfinn, who swore he'd never hurt people again. I just didn't expect it would come from Cnut—a tragic reunion. Excellent setup! The first half of the season showed what a good person Ketil is and the almost good life on his farm. The second half shows Ketil's misfortune to go up against Cnut. Thorfinn and Einar owe Ketil, so they'll defend the farm. I already feel bad for Ketil. |
| One of the best episodes so far, guess they did not think that Thorgil would intervene. Guess there is some brotherly love there after all and even Ketil survived. |
| AAAAH This is the end 😑😔😔😔😔😔 |
| Canute's despicable plan was successful, even if he has to suffer several losses, Ketil's family fate has now been sealed. Leave it to the King who would even kill his family members to make use of the weak-willed Olmar as the instigator of the fight, but Thorgill joining must not have been part of the equation. Still, I gotta say, although the manga did depict Throgill's killing spree. Seeing it animated is just a whole dimension of badassery. Man easily sliced a soldier's body in half, this guy is a fucking beast gahhdayyum. The closeup shots of Olmar on the boat near the end were so picturesque. The sun Is setting, the boat is swaying and the OST is playing. This'll be the last bit of peace the Ketils can enjoy before their imminent clash against Canute and his army. |
