| Canute with a beard... god damn still beautiful af. Thorkell are not happy because he can't kill the enemy by himself lol |
 |
| THE EF!!!! FRIGGIN' BILLIANT EPISODE!!! Canute just brought justice to this series! such perfection! 5/5! |
 |
| The worst episode yet, a bit mid. I find canute such a boring character. |
| Seeing Canute's rise to the throne using his wit as well as his might is refreshing to see animated. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Did Cabute really burn that place just to send a message? I feel like he must have at least spared parts of it with those places only having a very big bonfire to fool this guy. Either way, he's very ruthless now. Loved seeing him. Guess it will be back to Thorfinn now. |
 |
| 4.5/5 Are you kidding me? This is one of the best anime episode ive seen in a while. Beautifully animated and directed... sure but just the smooth progression of the story along with Canute's storyline is just fascinating to me. So seamlessly written and portrayed Canute has definitely became a ruthless savage. His whole aura around him is quite a contrast of his innate personality but this is the path that he chose as Thorkell likes to put it time to time. Speaking of whom, it's great to see loud-mouth, unhinged Thorkell back. Honest & cut-throat as ever, spittin' some Ireversible facts. That bastard Floki is there as well, couldn't care less!! Canute seems sly and dark but he atleast has his principles on-check still That simultaneous burning scene is perhaps the most savage threat of compliance in a minute, it definitely painted a grim picture. Canute owns the people which is more important than owning some crown. The crown is nothing without a True King and Canute is on his way to that path. Both the king and his heir drop from "illnesses" and ofcourse, Canute is made king and now rules England. For now, his character looks neigh imppecable & flawless but there are so much yet to be explored with him and I can't wait to see more of his progression Sound design and animations were consistently good. More than that, I'll be fondling over this episode for a while, I can already tell. Best episode.... By far |
 |
| Yesss, finally Canute is reintroduced into the show. I do hope he manages to remember his initial promises of being a good king and that he won't succumb under the crown's powerful influence, like his father... |
 |
| Ok Canute. I see you. He got w rizz after Askeladd's death. Look at him go to places. Can't wait to see him conquer England and become the King. And eventually rule the entire world mwahaha. |
 |
| What an excellent episode. Also loved the music from S1. Canutes development is really impressive and I love the way the showed it. |
| It's really nice to see that Canute has not lost his ideals and humanity after becoming the king. He has drastically changed though. He isn't a wimpy whiny troubled kid anymore. He has vision, grit, and resolve in him all the while still keeping compassion and humility within. He showed that guy what a war could do to the land of Mercia. He is currently the official king of England. Great to see Floki and Thorkell again. |
 ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ "Everything I've witnessed... This whole system you have built has always rejected me. Now I'm ready to reject it. That's why I destroy. That's why I took this power for myself. Simple enough, yeah? I don't care if you don't understand... That's what makes us... Heroes and Villains." ◑ ━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━ ◐ |
| Now that was a great episode if I've ever seen one. Canute is such a great character now, what a development from what he used to be. Using signal fires as a way to paint the picture of what it would look like to fight him is a damn good tactic. The music was great, made this feel like a whole movie ended. Bravo Mappa and bravo Yukimura! |
 |
| canute grew a beard! CANUTE GREW A BEARD! ngl that's like the biggest glow up in anime ever. 5/5 episode. |
| It was cool to see Canute and others, like Thorkell, once again. Especially when we had a time skip happening in the story. I'm enjoying watching Einar and Thorfinn working on Ketil's farm a lot, but that kind of break was a pleasant surprsie as well. After all, the world is way bigger than Ketil's farm, hehe. |
| Canute's transformation has shaped up to something truly phenomenal. The moment he started speaking of creating a paradise, all I could envision was hell on Earth. In a way, he feels like Askeladd's successor. May Thorkell never change. IF there's one thing to admire about him, it's his unapologetic lust for battle & Valhalla. |
 |
| It’s always good to see Askeladd. Thorkell is as wild as ever. I’m surprised that Canute has been able to control his wildness for this long. The way kept kicking and punching people was hilarious. Canute as always, knows how to get people to work under him. Canute is a cold MF, the way he showed him was just perfect. “He died of an illness” we know damn well what happened Canute is the king of England, my man has done it. |
 |
| I remember Canute to be a quiet eccentric kid now he's made something of himself |
 |
| We all witness how Askeladd's sacrifice didn't go to waste! Canute knows how to lead. Let's hope he won't turn evil. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Nice to see Canute doing well and he's finally king! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Guess that was the most interesting episode so far. But next episode it's back to Farmland Saga. |
| All this is thanks to Askeladd, he was the one who sowed the seed of Machiavellianism within Canute, and that's how he became who he is now. The catalyst started with the death of his aide, Ragnar at Askeladd's hands. And from then on, from the moment Canute was awakened from his shy cowardly self, he has walked a path of blood. Quelling opposition through fear, and domination. When he meets his equal, he cares not to go against them in a straight-on battle. He'd make use of his opposition's underling to assassinate those who stood in his path. At long last, Canute became the King of England. Now he possessed more than just his domain in Denmark, and another in England. |

| Canute looked so badass showing off his collection of giant Jenga towers If only Askeladd could see what his power move led up to, and Ragnar what his boy had become. |
