| The discussion about love was great , even the convo between Askeladd and Gratianus was great too. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| loved Thorfinn's look in the end of the episode. very good episode btw. |
| The world building in this is fantastic. Right away I could tell that the commander was a descendant of Rome just based on his facial features--and the quick aside about the King Arthur legend was fantastic. Details like that are what is making this show so goddamn good. I am really enjoying these slower introspective episodes, it makes the battles all the more potent when they do happen. The priest describing love was a really interesting conversation. Having some of the Danes legitimately wanting to hear him speak more after the fact was a nice touch in showing how the seeds of Christianity was brought to the vikings. Great episode, and the cliffhanger definitely has me hyped for the following episode. |
| I said I won't get fond of any character in a series like this one but damn, Canute looks so soft it's being a bit difficult to keep my word. Overall, decent episode. Quite calm until the last few minutes. I wonder how Askeladd and co. will manage to overcome their current situation. It also seems we will get a new OP and ED next week. Already missing Aimer's voice but well. |
Elucid said: Oh man, I love the dialogue. Such fascinating conversations and politics. I love the Wales conflict and geography. "A hawk, it's so low. Catch it Ragnar". This line is perfect for Canute's introduction, it shows how incompetent and less interested Canute is when it comes to politics. The talk about love was interesting, it gives us a retrospective of how Vikings were as they had no love and only glory. There's only better to come guys, can't wait for the next cour. I "love" to see how a probable conversion is hinted from that love talk. That's how cultures mingle and clash. |

justaway_neo said: I wonder what will happen to him that will make him be known as Cnut the Great. In the episode, Askeladd told something along the lines "Men for whom I have instant fondness end to disappoint me. There might be promise in a temperament like his." Make that what you will. |

| Wait, where is that place where Leif was seen at the end? |
Gabisu said: Inugirlz said: I will save this comment for the next episode that will definitely surprise youI realize now that I wait every episode just for the chance to see Thorfinn wreck shit. Stupid cliffhanger. All those archers are dead next episode though. Nooo this sounds like he won’t get to wreck shit 😭😭😭 |
_MushiRock11_ said: No, both OP and ED will be changed.shane_nichols said: Now I don't know about that. Remember, we were delayed an episode because of the typhoon. New ED next episode confirmed implicitly by Aimer herself. https://twitter.com/Aimer_and_staff/status/1178333751148892161?s=20 I can't confirm on the Op status at the moment but I seem to vaguely recall checking one of the creator's post where he hinted that the this 1st Op will stick around for a bit longer. But maybe that was a mistake on my part, please don't take my word on it. For those who are interested |
Right well, thanks for the confirmation! |

computerwizard said: I think Canute will end up being an interesting character. I would think so as he is one of the more famous people in history. |
| I'm quite surprised with the score this time around, more than episode 19's score actually. Some interesting dialogue and setting buildup, including more of Canute. Do people not like the slow pacing? No action? I really don't know at this point. A really fascinating episode underrated... hmmm... |
 |
| Highlights these Canute is a girl and will end with love with Thorfinn And the new king will be Thorfinn... |

SkyDrop said: dont understand why do another time they have to include that fanservice?! seriously it really feels like ripped from random third rated ecchi shows and looks out-of-place for a show like this! incredibly disappointing. Otherwise wished I could binge this show. Even the buildup episode is turning out to be very fun at this point. Reminds me of the experience I had with last year's lotgh remake.  lol this isn't fanservice,they're talking about sweyn reward for saving canute,and they imagine the king's harem. |

After all, this was during the last age of the Viking era when Nordic people started converting to Christianity and Norse mythology began to die out. |

| Things are getting very interesting. |
| Great episode. Loved how it wasn't all about fighting. Interesting to see the fictional world more. It seems like that the next episode will be all about fighting...I ain't complaining 😂😂😂 |
| The thematic concern of 'love' is introduced, which I think will underpin the rest of the series, albeit in a much darker and realistic way than the romanticised variation common in Shonen. An amazing episode narratively and aesthetically. Thorfinn's disdainful sneer at the possibility of death, for me, encapsulates the essence of his character. His enemies are just a statistic - a stepping stone. |
  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 |
| Good episode. Really interesting to follow, with interesting backgrounds and talks. It's just amazingly slow sometimes, and that's what I do not like on the serie |
 |
| Felt so bad for Leif. Another great episode. Can't wait to see what the future holds in store for the guys. But do you think Thorkell paid the enemy Wales nation to betray the guys? |
| Powered by the "Manga Is Awesome" gang |
| I just love how Thorfinn is always 150% Done With Everything. |
| I'm waiting for Askeladd to say that one line that made me like him even more in the manga. I'm not sure if the next episode is enough to fit some of his backstory but I'm almost certain we'll get a glimpse of it. Ragnar is such a doting father over Canute, more than the real father King Sewyn. Canute telling Ragnar to get that hawk for him like a toy. lol Anyways, nice to see Leif again at the end. Remember that Thorfinn was separated from them after Thors died and that slave looked a little like Thorfinn and it broke Leif's heart. |
| 臭い- |
| I'm going to miss that ED, but still really looking forward to the second half. I've been really impressed by this series so far. |

magictuch said: Snaita said: Yeah, I'm curious about that too. I didn't quite get it either... What I theorize is that he saw how benevolent Thors turned after so much violence which made him intrigued/interested in it, and now thinks that Canute has that quality too? Something along those lines perhaps So essentially, Askeladd says "well, great men and leaders are hard to predict/manipulate, maybe it's for the best he's so timid since he will be easy to control or we can raise him and shape him in the way we want". That's the complete opposite of what I was thinking lol Well it makes more sense, it fits Askeladd better |
Elucid said: same here. Really good episode imo and the poll results was like only at 67% 5/5, Tf?I'm quite surprised with the score this time around, more than episode 19's score actually.

| Really hyped for the 43th unexpected fight with that yellow hair dadless kid called thor-something and that old random guy that killed his dad (i'm glad he did) |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |

I read slightly ahead and I think I know what line in which you are referring to. Yep, to me he was so badass when he said that with a straight face. |

Nice score btw. I'll just leave a spoiler for next episode here if it will help anything. All of the people in your "Repetitive" thread are very truthful about this anime getting better. It's up to you anyways tbh. |

It's up to you anyways tbh. Yeah I actually read everything they had to say which pushed me to watch this episode & keep going with this anime. Thank you for the spoiler it reassures me, I wouldnt have withstood more than one fight against eachother, as I said in the "repetitive?" thread I intend to finish this season and note it objectively once finished. (sorry if my english is wobbly) |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Rip horse. What a waste. best character. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Is no one going to talk about the animation? |
| Bunch of crazy stuff going on this episode. Good to see Leif again at the end! Cnut seems like he's living in a whole other world. Ragnar needs to toughen him up. The struggle we see the vikings going through in their trek was also very well done. And as always, the scenery was amazing. Good episode.  |
| At first I thought Knut was a soon to be leader (he looked like griffith), then I thought he was a girl, now I see he's just a pretty boy. Very confusing stuff, all in all great episode and the Wales land and politics was a nice addition to the overall story. |
    |
| Canute finally said something louder than whispers from before. :D The discussion about religious and cultural differences between a Christian and pagan Normans was nice. Good addition to the previous scene in which them vikings talked about how they find Christianity to be like in their eyes, basing their knowledge on what they heard or saw during their adventures. |

| Okay, it is clear that Ragnar really have to be killed ASAP to allow the maturation of the bitch Canute. |
