This is why femboys are so dangerous. One day they're minding their own business putting on knee high socks and being uwu, then you look away for one second and they become the king of fucking Denmark

Imagine if Canute pulled out his long sword

I'm somewhat interested in "history"...how long we talkin

1000 A.D.

lmaoooo

which long sword tho?

The one he's carrying between his legs 😂

That's a secret short dagger though used as emergency weapon when someone attacked and he isn't on guard and we're talking about a long sword no way would anyone hide a long sword half their height secretly between their legs

I'll remember this comment whenever I'll see Canute 🤣🤣

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

Best fucking comment I've ever seen

Yup shootin' up everyone who bullied em in the school country

real

I'm so surprised how he has changed now that Ragnar is no more with him to guide him and now the once generous, virtues and religious Canute is gone, he's more like his cunning father King Sweyn now.

Man, Canute went from shy ladyboi to power-hungry tyrant real quick.

askeladd is probably laughing in his grave

Just sitting on a pillar chugging some ale :)

I don't think he wanted Canute to turn out like that. One reason why he supported him instead of just going full maverick is that he expected the soft-spoken Canute to be a better king and stop invading others. Even in that evil Valhalla world he is unique - he certainly went to "purgatory" for his deeds, but he is not the same as the rest of the broken psychos fighting forever. He is allowed to sit above them as he never shared their taste for carnage, but merely used carnage as means to his ends.

A well suited punishment for him because he cannot use this carnage as means to his ends anymore but just see them fighting without any meaning than killing each others over and over again forever.

He is not per-se power-hungry, he is a well-intentioned extremist, by the trope description. He and Thorfinn want the same - an ideal world. But Canute has lost his faith into moderate methods and "power of friendship", while Thorfinn has discovered it thanks to Askeladd and others. For Canute, the end justifies the means. But he is taking his guilt trips exceedingly well, unlike his counterparts from other stories.

That escalated quickly.

Man went from princess to growing a beard

#pubertyisabitch

You thought he was gonna be a decent King lmao?

I did, so did Askeladd, to the point where he died to make him king

He bacame a daddy 😳.

eh, his eyelashes are still cute if you ignore his insanity 🤕

Ragnar is crying in the corner and also don't remember what happened to the Priest from S1, he was a funny one I still remember his answer to Thorkell when he was asked "Whose God do you think is better yours our ours?" and he replied "Whichever one made Beer" lmao I still recall it to this day and laugh on my own.

killing your brother that was nothing but nice to you. Canute really became the new villain

Historically speaking, such power sharing arrangements had a tendency to rip apart an empire in bloody civil wars and internal strife. But yeah this was damn cold

Especially if Harald got kids eventually. He and Canute may have been on good terms, but what about their sons? And their sons? How long until a succession dispute breaks out between the King of Denmark and the King of England?

There are probably ways around it (ex. celibacy, common heir) but Canute's methods are unquestionably effective.

Exactly what happened to the tetrarchy of Rome. Once diocletian wasn't there to glue it back together and their successors joined the power sharing agreement, bitter rivalries formed and rome fell apart once more

A brother that would give him anything bro really got power hungry

Im sure there are families out there who kill for insurance payouts and inheritance. Nothing new really.

In my country every now and again you get a brother killing a brother over a fucking fence/wall dividing properties. The only thing as powerful as sibling love is sibling hatred.

He didn't kill his brother, wasn't he having hallucinations about the other king he poison

He is poisoning his brother and his guilt is being used by his father he hated. He smiled when he got the throne but had to pretend he didn't want to but his guilt is surfacing and he admits he had to do so when talking to himself or the head as seen.

He is basically evil but u have to do evil to get peace and as a villain if u already doing evil u have to do good to bring peace. But he is straight evil to be killing his brother off that is the lowest of the lows.

That's not his father, just his subconscious mind manifesting his own feelings of guilt over it in the form of his father speaking to him. The guilt makes him have these hallucinations, which take on the form his father's head as a coping mechanism for his internal conflict. The sign of a man not at peace with his consciousness.

He was having hallucinations about his dad (the former king that got killed by Askeladd).

I saw that, but I remember the other King he poison was the King, he was fighting with over the England throne,,, or that was his brother. Am really more focused on Thorfinn story

nah, you right. He took over England by using poison on the other King and his son.
Seems like he also used poison on his brother too. What we learned is that Canute loves to use poison

No I think he poisoned his brother too

He did poison his brother but the Hallucinations of HIS FATHER'S severed head, which he is talking to, that's why Canute said he hated and wanted to kill him...

Yes the last one.
We wait for 3 years from forest to farm

the boys are now beefed up :)

Wht this is last ep?

No, there's 14 more to go.
Kwarevo meant the last tree in the ep.

Not gonna lie this season is surpassing my expectations so far. As a non-manga reader i was was sad to learn the season will have almost no battles but boy oh boy i did not expect it to be this engaging. no time wasting after character developement immidiate time skip and the story is progressing on multiple fronts all interlinked. Visually it is stunning. This may be anime of the year 2023 at least bet drama.
