| It was obvious, but I felt sad for Ragnar. Seeing him dying was actually better done in anime than in the manga imo. My fav episode. Also Askechad....... you damn fox. |
| Big L for Askeladd he got the shitty prince, killing Ragnar may have been the wrong choice and he's getting Thorkell after his ass. Damn, that's tough. Heavy episode. It's time for Askeladaddy now Switch_Z said: "There is no father that will hate his son." says the dude living in an era full of barbarians. Ah the innocence. Canute deep inside knows his dad doesn't like or love him, that's why he got an outburst when the priest brought up his doubts during the prayer. Ragnar is such a dumbass tbh he pampered this kid way too much, even if his intentions were good I can't stand behind what he did. |

| I believe that Askeladd's character is as good as Shougo Makishima if not better. I love the guy, but I still think he's a piece of shit. Great episode, Ragnar's death was tragic. He did nothing wrong, he only cared dearly for Canute. Though, as a manga reader, this is the beginning of something truly amazing. P.S. Amazon being dumb Amazon again guys. There's videos on youtube of this weeks episode if it's still not on the Prime website. |

| akseladd is best boy!! |
| People keep saying that this episode wasn't on prime but as of 12:34pm Eastern Standard Time I watched this episode on Amazon Prime. Did they take it down or something? Askeladd didn't look evil enough in the scene where he said "No". Anyways, don't worry, Askeladd, you will get your wish for Canute to man up. Then you will regret it. I can't wait. |

| Another great episode, I am excited to see how will the things proceed especially when Ragnar tell everything about the King's plan. RIP to Ragnar, and the "No" part was harsh. This is interesting simply because the Antagonist is more interesting than the Protagonist, the way Askeladd do things was truly brutal and I love it, everything gives a strong impact. |
 |
| Fuck Askeladd again. I will hold a fucking parade and dance all over his grave when Thorfinn kills this SOB and no one's going to tell me he has fucking reasons. Fuck Askeladd and his crew. They are the worst people in this anime, hands down. No morals, no principles, no nothing. They disgust me. |

| continuing the fuck Askeladd train was pumped up once Thorkell realized it might be him hidden away and got ready to march. looks like his luck really is running out RIP Ragnar i got spoiled by the OP with him fading off was like yeah hes gonna die this season. |
 |
| @el3mel What's interesting is that you could also see him as a protagonist because the only reason he's an antagonist is the fact he killed Thorfinn's dad. Other than that they're on the same team There aren't really any villains from a story perspective, everyone's just participating in a war. I guess you could say they're the villains of this world, but Thorfinn is just as much one as Thorkell and Askeladd. To add: isn't it just so tragic that Thors loved his son and king Sweyn hated his, yet Thorfinn became a cold soldier and Canute a good-hearted boy? That's partially Askeladds fault and he might even create another one |
| poop |
| It's gonna be so sweet when Canute kills that asshole (or Thorfinn, either one has gotta do it! Although my bet is on Canute) |
| RIP Ragnar. He didn’t deserve to go out like that. Askeladd may be a POS but he’s definitely one of the most interesting characters so far. |
| That was a sad death by Ragnar, especially when he revealed everything about the king. Askeladd is so cold, he didn't even let him see the prince for the last time. I see Askeladd die a colder death at the end. |

| Rip Ragnar the poor man has been getting death flags since we first saw him |
 |
| And thus the great conehead meets his end... |
 |
| Askeladd is a cruel motherfucker. |
| Well it was only a matter of time before Askelad killed Ragner and it happened in this episode. Also it seems the king is after Canut's life to stop the infighting between the two factions. Well looking forward to see how the prince reacts. Also im happy that the girl from last episode actually survived. |
 |
| Wow dude, fuck the Danes, fuck Askeladd, and fuck the king. That was a brutal episode. Askeladd is such a prick. I can only hope he gets what he deserves one day. But man what will become of the Prince now? Inb4 epic anime transformation where he's now a super badass. |
| Did Askeladd just peed at the place distant to the grave of the villagers he just massacred?! Dem that guy gave no fucks. |
| "there is no father that hates his son" oh the irony. Luke 14:26 was right all along! |

el3mel said: His men are also starting to doubt him and think his luck is starting to run out. Is this the beginning of the end for him? Not a manga reader by the way.

They disgust me. 100% agree my friend ihinsya said: It's 2 bad that ragnar died in ambush, he had to have good fighting skills since he is high ranked, it is bullshit that I didn't get to see that Exactly my thoughts my guy, if he had realized just a bit sooner he could've deflected the spear like he deflected the sword in the forest fire. Though it doesn't say anything really, I like how Askeladd deployed like 10 dudes on him lmao at least they put some respect to his name. I won't take anymore disrespect toward conehead Canute better just murder Askeladd |

| As cruel as it is, Ragnar needed to die. His coddling of Canute was more harmful than helpful especially since whether he wants to or not, he is a prince & he should act like it. As morally dubious as Askeladd is, he will enable Canute to grow up into the man he needs to be. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| An amazing episode as always. Possibly even better, if that was possible. I loved Thorkell in this episode, it's always fun to see the repercussions of his destructive ideology. More political drama, introducing another avenue for the plot. Rip Ragnar, i'm so glad he died for plot reasons, though - it will improve the integrity of the show and the upcoming characterisation immensely. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Really it's a great episode,man the anime really broke my expectations. Ragnar's death was really sad,but he could have let Canute grow up which he sadly didn't. The characterization is nicely done,both Askeladd and Ragnar. And now Thorkell comes in pursuit. |

| ED's slowly starting to grow on me, now that the love for the first one's starting to wear off. If I had to make a prediction for next week's episode, Thorfinn is going to see through the lie immediately. He knows Askeladd, he knows how he operates and he'll realise that this is basically the exact same thing that Askeladd did to him all those years ago. Canute will probably fall for it, but I honestly have no idea if Thorfinn will tell him or not. |

A coward and a liar who kills anyone whether it's ally, enemy or bystanders and has no honor of a warrior like Thorfinn. He's no warrior. Even for the characters in this series, he's fucking low. This show may boast awful characters but he's the lowest of the low. Turns his blade on ally and bystander alike. Would not be surprised if Bjorn and his Dane buddies will get screwed over by him with enough motivation. Don't try to justify his actions to me because no amount of 'ends justify the means' or 'They're Vikings' is going to cut it. I'm not interested. |

That's like saying if someone were to make the same decision and killed your parental figure to make you grow and handle the world on their own is 'realist' and just fucking crazy and taking it too far. There is lines one does not cross no matter what ends you chase. This whole 'ends justfy the means' crap that people defend him with just to get him a pass over his actions is fucking ridiculous.

And I sincerely hope Thorfinn cuts his heart out but he probably doesn't have one so I'll settle for guts and intestines as compensation.

He just wanted to take the easy and sure way rather than think of an alternative. He barely tried an alternative instead just forced Canute to act like a boss suddenly in Wales like it was that simple. No hard attempts in getting Ragnar to help Canute grow after realizing Canute was too timid in Wales or talk with Canute or anything like this. He just wanted to take the easiest even if it means immoral way. That is Askeladd and that's why I say fuck him. How was he gambling? He didn't even know about the situation between the two factions or about the King so there was no time limit in his head. He already wanted to kill him beforehand. And anyways, he gambled his fucking ass the moment he got involved in a war that had nothing to do with him for personal gain. He got himself into this to start with and all the atrocities he's committing is his responsibility and his alone along with his Dane buddies. Stop giving me this narrative that he's a victim of his circumstances. He got himself into this to start with so everything he's doing is on him. Fuck him. |

Never talked more to Ragnar of the importance of getting Canute to grow in order to encourage Ragnar to force things along or talk with Canute or any other way of getting Canute to grow. He just wanted play low and disgusting to get it easy. I already stated what I think and not going to repeat what I said because you've hardly made a case for him. Read over what I wrote before this post because you probably missed my edits. If you think he's this guy who's a victim of his circumstances than a guy who got himself into this mess and uses immoral and disgusting methods to get his way then I'm not going to waste my time anymore. |
