| Canute making big moves ⚔️ |
 |
| What a beautiful episode I'm just speechless |
| I'm assuming that's what happened during the timeskip, now we're back on track. Dedicating this entire episode on Canute means he has a big role this season. But man he still has an ugly ass haircut even with a beard. |
| He is so different since the the first time appearing, and now he does has that king vibes, so I guess it will be them trying to overthrow him in the end. |
 |
| That was not a criticism but more so a commentary on what power does to people. |
| As someone who had binged the whole show up to the current episode, so I had no time to glorify season 1, season 2 is definitely better already soo far. Askeladd's Death was soo important for Thorfin because he can now develop as a character outside his one dimensional state before. Canute is also a big change though I would argue all of his character development happened much quicker being in one episode last season, he is now putting it all into action as the king. I'm enjoying the political themes of the story and the complete break down of Thorfins character as he rebuilds himself as he discovers purpose. |
DaddyDonovan said: Most users love side characters not for their depth but for their badass ability or physical appearanceI always thought the problem with shounen is that they have trouble writing good protagonists, while they excel at writing interesting side characters, there aren't many people whos favorite hxh character is Gon(although he is actually a very good protag), same with fmab, naruto, and one piece. |

DaddyDonovan said: FMAB FMA, HxH and Gintama deserve to be called GOAT while AoT and One Piss are complete trashthats reasonable but even based on how well written they are Killua, Kurapika, Chrollo, Meruem, and Schaiapouf are all probably more complex than Gon, Bradley, greedling, and roy are probably all better written than ed( although ed is also a good protagonist), Sanji, Robin, and Doflamingo are better written than luffy, this type of thing applies to probably every long running shounen except aot and supposedly gintama and yu yu hakusho(i haven't seen those two yet so I won't say) meanwhile the protag is considered top 2 or 3 in pretty much every seinen except maybe monster. |

| Last few eps were nice, but politics is so bland in this show >_> |
| Anyone knows the name of the OST at the end? |

DaddyDonovan said: AoT has plot twists just for the sake of plot twists; it's overall themes seem facile to mebtw what do you dislike about aot and one piece? One Piece is just regurgitated Fairy tail with pirates |

Softhenic03 said: Canute changed when he realized that death was not glorious because redemption (for him) was not in the afterlife. He'd already changed by the time Asheladd had chopped off the Kings head. Canute's side of the story. It wasn't just Thorfinn whose life took an unprecedented turn after Askeladd’s demise, in fact it’s Canute who looks like a totally different being, impacted to the core after the aforementioned incident. Now next in line to the throne of England, along with Ethelred he plans to take the throne all for himself and become the rightful king, through any means necessary. And well there's no doubt he will, given there’s someone like Thorkell serving under him. Good to see him again btw, and that overly energetic self of his. His fondness for wars hasn't changed a bit though. Look you, Eadric you tried to buy Canute with truckloads of gold but does he really need them? No, I mean he wants the throne of England. So nevermind the gold, heck he burned his whole land just to give a reality check of what would happen if someone would refuse his wish. Man has to poison Ethelred after all, and that’s your foe down. Ethelred’s son suffered the same fate and… that’s the throne for Canute. He would make his enemies fall with any means necessary. The one true quality of a cunning leader. Smug was aight [font="\"Proxima Nova Regular\", \"Helvetica Neue\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"]  [/font] Big points from this ep: Canute stuck to his guns about taking slaves. He didn't flinch at Thorkell coming at him. Quiet displays of reach are often more effective than loud displays of boisterousness. I am stopping myself from revisiting the history. The Battle of Hastings and the Bayeux Tapestry is my last point of reference IRL. If drawn from history, this would make this a super compelling story! |
Eoussama said: Wtf are you talking about Canute is a great king unlike his father.What a scumbag has he turned into. |
| Uhhh alright episode. What's with the sudden location change |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
| It's so weird to see Canute like that with how feminine he was during the 1st season now he's no joke with his hardcore calm spirit and his physical change years later |

| Banger eps yet again |
| Nice episode, the only flaw was the flashback. I guess CSM haters will also go mad with the 0.5s of Soldiers CGI but meh, 7.6/10. |
| Canute is a slayer king now. Seems none can stop him easily this time around. Let's see where this goes after this! |
| Well, that escalated quickly. |
| "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." |
| An interesting episode.It showed the ruthless nature of Canute and how he dealt with it. Thorkell was definitely funny but it put Canute at the straight point. Really shows how Thorfinn changed from the first season. |
