God damn that cliffhanger pains me physically. The Askeladd scenes continue to be peak. I've had a big worry this season that Thorfinn would take his pacifist stance to an extreme and naïve point. So I'm feeling a little relieved to see him willing to fight Snake even if it's unarmed. When he took his dagger stance it was insanely hype to see.

Really good episode, even if that Ainhardt or however you say her name, tearful speech was a little overdone. Wasn't very immersive, all I could think of was the VA acting it out inside a studio lol

Hated this episode.

I'm sorry but the dialogue from Arnheid towards Einar and Thorfinn was just so bad.
First stated
"The guest was going to kill both me and Gardar"

No,Gardar was the one that decided to take on the offense by biting off of someones neck and kill him, while Snake and his men were so damn lenient towards Gardar, he still decides to kill more of his Men. Amazing how that logic works. Now that he killed 5 more Men, its reasonable enough that snake has to kill him before Gardar poses any more death.

But now we get Einar, simping for Arnheid, without any real reason as to why he wants to help her other then the fact that shes already taken, and hoping that he could still be in relationship with her.

Unless Arnheid is intentionally lying but there is no sorts of hints implying that at all !
Congrats, this is the dumbest thing I've read in like a month. Maybe actually try to see it from the perspective of Arnheid, an exhausted, pressured, terrified, and distraught woman? There's no guarantee that the guests wouldnt kill her, they don't understand the full context. Also Einar is just being a good person for her, there's no fucking simping here, he just cares for her and understands her situation.


The guy that Gardar bit off the neck, literally meant no harm to her, he disobeyed the leaders direction, there was no way he was going to kill off a non-rogue slave who is someone else's property.

And thats the other guests you were talking about, so Arnheid had no choice but to assist Gardar, after Gardar went stupid over a guy that was only touching his wife's shoulder as that guy could get in trouble if Arnheid linger any longer on the floor as HE was the one that granted her request and was nice to her. And Gardar knew full well that Arnheid is still alive and well. The strom could've been passed, but the situation clearly made it worse.

Again, why didn't Arnheid mentioned the first offense from Gardar, and the 2nd guest she knew?

As always, this episode getting more tense. Thorfinn finally re-begin his battle and through his seeking for inner-peace. It's been a while since I lost interest to anime until I find a very good one as my 10-scored anime in my list. Vinland Saga season 2 would be the next one.

I feel like for the first time someone in this story (Snake) is in the right, yet everyone is trying to protect Gardar, even if he is (or was) a slave he absolutely deserves to die for the crimes he committed lol

btw nice work TOTALLY spoiling the conclusion of the next episode with it's post-credits preview lmao

Again, why didn't Arnheid mentioned the first offense from Gardar, and the 2nd guest she knew?

my problem is arnheids husband is clearly gone. she even admitted she was afraid of him when she first saw him....the dude is a psychopath, he's mentally gone, a LUNATIC!!!! I won't be surprised if he didn't even mean any of the stuff he said to her about being sorry, cuz he's insane.

Also why are they trying to help a guy escape who murder 6 people who were just doing their job of protecting the farm. Ok I feel bad for Arnheid but she drug herself into this by also going a little crazy thinking she'd take her psycho husband and runaway and live happily ever after with the baby inside of her. like y'all are just going to pretend your first kid never died because that's what's going to happen with him. he's insane!

So sorry, I don't think it's the "right thing to do" by helping a serial killer who's literally unhinged get away.

if some guy was being abused by his father and went crazy and killed his father, ok id feel bad for him and probably think he was justified in doing so. but if he then runs away and some police officer just doing his job in another state tries to stop him for questioning and that kid murders the police officer sorry I'm not going to try and help that kid get away anymore.

I could understand helping him escape after killing the masters of his that had been abusing him and treating him horribly as a slave but not after killing six random guys on another farm who was just doing their job.

also one more thing, Arnheid isn't that great of a person Knowing that einar and torfinn might be put to death just for helping them. for a guy that's literally bleeding out and will probably not even make it across the farm, who's lost his mind and is a murderer. Hell, because of the bullshit actions the one guy who was being nice to her by letting her say goodbye to her husband got his throat f****** bit out!
so yeah no wonder he pulled his sword as he's f****** dying and you try to use that somehow to justify freeing your husband.......no that's bullshit!

What she should have done is, as soon as her husband bit that dude's throat out. she should have gotten that guy's knife and killed her own husband. before he went on to cause more damage. you put down dogs with rabies not free them!

it's just dumb on so many levels!

This thinking makes no sense when the purpose of Gardar was for him to free Arnheid, so yes killing those who worked for Ketil is literally the option for him, considering he assumes Snake is Ketil who has these bodyguards with him. Gardar didn't bite him because of him touching arnheid, he literally told Arnheid to escape with him while both are being enslaved.

Killing is the norm in this era. And the thing, Gardar is DEFENDING himself. He was enslave, you would literally try to escape yourself from slavery even trying to kill those who are trying to imprison you. Gardar has self justification on his killings unlike a serial killer. Arnheid on the otherhand had her own choice of action to free him so potentially they could both live together, and plus that's her husband who she loved, not some random dude.

Another pretty good episode, see? I'm praising the episodes now since shit is getting good, it's not about that farming crap anymore, shit is actually getting good here, it's not about the fights or the action scenes I'm looking for here, it's the story, drama, suspense, etc... and the last 2 episodes have it so I like it, this isn't about cutting lumbers and farming anymore, there are things at stake now so this anime is not fucking around anymore and I'm liking it.

I upped my rating from 6/10 to 8/10 and I may give it a 9/10 if things get even better from here.

What about the crime of him losing his life to slavery? It's relative.

it's just dumb on so many levels!
She is afraid of her husband because she thinks he might not except her unborn child moreover she haven't seen her husband in such a pathetic and broken state. He had completely changed. So she wants to protect her child from the Strom not herself.

He was very ill treated for soo many years what kind of reaction are you expecting from a runaway slave anyway. He is just a broken character.

He killed 6 people who were potential threat to his life and Arnied didn't dragged her self into slavery lol. What kind of bullshit are u pumping lol. For all this time she put up a fake smile in front of others but seriously she just wished for a happy family but end up being a sex slave it's just a tragedy.

Arnheid trusting Einar and Thorfinn for help is most realistic outcome. In the lowest time of your life you will always want to have someone by your side. Thorfinn and Einar provide a moral support and gave a positive hope to someone who is in a great need. We all know what's Arnheid current state of mind is. She is a very selfish character she is ready to stay as a sex slave only to make her unborn child's life fully secured, just like that she wants to save her husband without thinking about the outcome. She might also get a severe punishment for her doing but still she moved forward inorder to save her husband.

Your last statement just pure bullshit. I really don't have anything to say. It just piss me off. Will you kill your own family members in situation like this ? Seriously think before you speak bullshit.

such good stuff. one of my fav episodes.

they are taking a hella great risk helping arnheid and gardar. i liked how the old master is helping them too.

thorfinn having sworn off violence is facing a predicament now but he has made his choice. i liked how askeladd is there with him while he's thinking. it is no surpirse though as he was the one who taught thorfinn so much about fighting and stuff not to mention he's like a father figure to him, the one whose advice he would seek.

a real and serious fight between hebi and thorfinn finally. really excited to see it but the fucking preview is fucking piece of crap. never watching previews again. tf were they thiniking putting a preview like that. brainless people.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.
