| Dont mess with the Thor gang |
| First off.. the Thorfinn vs Snake fight was amazing, Thorfinn showing his skills against Sanke that actually made Snake recognise his strength. Gardar's life flashing before his eyes was sad. He did everything on his behalf to protect his family, for a moment really thought snake died at that moment. RIP Gardar |
| One of the saddest episode of the series. |
| 4/5 Again, great episode overall. A perfect send-off for Gardar with great visuals & osts The opening action sequence was some of the best & fluid character choreography this season. Snake & Thorfinn are both very agile fighters and they both agree with same conflicting questions on their current respective situations. Snake actually manages to stab Gardar before nearly getting choked to death barred from Arnhed's intervention. That whole thing felt a choppy at first and i was a bit confused but it all made sense as the episode progressed The somber setting & osts were definitely swaying my perception of Gardar, in light of the current storyline and his relationship with his son & wife definitely parallels Thors and his family albeit gone a bit horribly wrong. He's one of those who were tempted by glory and lost everything before realising their grave mistakes. His backstory took quite a chunk of the episode which was dragging a bit but they really got me near the end there im ngl. A perfect send-off for a character that played a pivotal role for Arnhed & her character going forward. I visibly choked myself when he finally reunited with his son in the afterlife. Masterful writing yet again!!! ~~~ |

| Thorfinn vs Snake was peak, I love how both of them realized that each of them is a great warrior. And I love how Snake got confused how a man as skilled as Thorfinn ended up as a slave, and how Thorfinn is questioning why a man as strong as Snake is a mere farm guard. Mappa animated the whole sequence amazingly. It's sad that every side is correct now. Snake can't just let go the man who killed 5 of his people. And it seems that he genuinely valued those men. It isn't about money... Gardar's sendoff was pretty sad. |

| 5 minutes into this episode, I felt this whole subplot has been emotionally contrived. By the end of it, I have become a weepy, hysterical mess. 10/10 |

| This is how anime should be extending on the source material. Not those shitty panel by panel adaptations. |
| This episode packed a powerful punch, hitting my emotions like a speeding truck. Gardar's final voyage unfolded in tragic waves that left me utterly devastated. The moment he snapped out of his murderous rage, upon hearing Arnheid's plan to visit their son, and spoke with surprising politeness to Thorfinn and Sverkel (Old Master), was truly remarkable. It showcased his profound transformation and the depths of his remorse. In the midst of his journey, Gardar's dreams of his family resurfaced, revealing the true cost of his greed and igniting a newfound determination to shield his son from repeating his mistakes. Symbolically, the road he traversed represented his life path, while the cart embodied his life force. As he rode along the road, an eerie chill settled over him, inching him closer to the clutches of death, until the cart and his existence came to a gradual halt. |
| the thorfinn and snake fight had me holding my breath !! these past few eps were also so sad to watch i cried on each ep but especially this one 😢 like damn why can't they get a happy ending bruh my heart broke 😭💔 |

| A man we got introduced to 3 episodes ago just got an 18 minutes and 15 seconds long death scene, that's crazy. |
| That was probably a very slow death. |
| This Gardar subplot just felt like filler.. definitely some of the weaker episodes of this entire series. |
| That was such an emotional episode. Gardar died from his wounds and is finally at peace. Poor Arnheid had to witness it. At least she was there by his side, during his final moments. She doesn't have anyone left now. I wonder what kind of punishment she'll receive. Doesn't seem like Ketil will be too happy to hear all this. Thorfinn was doing so damn well against Snake even though he was unarmed and rusty after not fighting for so many years. I wonder if Hjalti is even alive. |
 |
| I'm crying so much right now what a gut puncher this episode was. |
| Thorfinn and Snake fight was something else especially since Thorfinn was fighting without a weapon. Gardar is build of iron cause damn, he was still able to stand up after being stabbed to his wound. He’s dying, but at least he can die feeling free with his wife. Well, I’m sobbing again, these backstory just keep getting me emotional. And all of this happened to them because they wanted more wealth, when they were fine with what they had. He’s been waiting for them for five years. |
 |
| I've forgotten, was Hjalti dead? |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| What the fuck. What a fucking masterpiece. Wow. |
| Even if Gardar didn't leave for that war for iron, he would've been the only man left in their village and the vikings would still attack and he'll likely be killed that way. Moral of the story is that there's no such thing as happy ending for anyone in this show lol |
