Long ahh comment so apologies in advance. First thing, Torgrim, my brother in the All Father. Did you not take Thorfinn and Bjorn into account, one of them alone is a road block. They're not gonna let you take askeladd. Second point is my worry for Thorfinn, no hesitation pure rage. "Touch askeladd you die" I think he's devolving. Which is a term used sometimes with serial killers and I love my boy but he kinda fits sometimes. Gonna break your mother's heart lad Gonna break your mother's heart. On a more personal note. I'm really enjoying finding this channel. I like been able to talk about and crack dumb jokes about anime series I love so much

I wanted to share this in the previous episode but then you uploaded this one right as I finished it so I might as well post it here. (TW: SA) I think it's interesting how visceral the gore is in this show as someone who's read the manga and can see how censored it really still is. They try so hard to convey the extent of the violence to what their network will allow by changing the perspective of a shot, or blacking out intestines, or whatever method is most suitable in the moment. A by-effect of this, however, is that some important moments have actually had to be completely removed from the anime, which I think is a shame. The "best" moment of this would've been in episode 10. As Thorfinn woke up from his dream, in the manga a woman is being violently raped basically right next to him, with two guys over her and a cloth stuffed into her mouth. The men joyfully invite Thorfinn to join them, with the woman desperately calling for help with her eyes, yet Thorfinn ignores all three of them and walks out to the hill where he meets Askeladd. It's a very ugly yet poignant way of showcasing the depths of Thorfinn's apathy where he really doesn't seem to care about any of the awful things that are happening due to the mercenary band he's a part of. One shouldn't forget that Thorfinn was also a part of the episode 14 massacre and didn't seem to protest in any way, if anything scoffing at the grievances of Canute and his fellow Christians. He's lost sight of himself to such an extent that is just hurts to see him at all. In a way this makes a certain Yukimura quote more meaningful when he said, paraphrased: "Thorfinn is like how I used to be. Good for nothing, angry all the time, thank goodness I didn't have a knife in my hand!" Anyway, that was depressing, so I'll end by saying I can't wait for the next episodes! Every single one right until the end of the season is a banger imo! Can't wait to see what you make of some of the stuff coming up.

Askeladd is a complex character whose contradictions deepen his relationship with Thorfinn. He respects Thors, Thorfinn's father, yet manipulates Thorfinn into committing terrible acts against innocents. Despite his cunning nature, Askeladd shows care for Thorfinn, sparing his life when he could have easily killed him as you mentioned in several occasions. Recognizing Thorfinn's potential, Askeladd uses their duels as harsh lessons, guiding him through life's brutal realities. After Thorfinn's father's death, Askeladd becomes a father figure of sorts. However the feelings Thorfinn harbors for Askeladd are complicated; beyond hatred, there exists I believe a profound sense of dependence. This dependence stems from Thorfinn's singular focus on avenging his father's death, which has become the driving force of his existence. Askeladd likely struggles with his own conflicting emotions toward Thorfinn. His hesitation to act on their similarities underscores his complexity. While he may not fit the traditional mold of a father figure, he undeniably serves as a mentor, teaching Thorfinn about the harsh world they inhabit.

The Norse concept of personal luck that you were probably referring to at the beginning is embodied in a spirit called hamingja. Based on Wikipedia information, each person has their own hamingja, which varies in strength and seeks to be helpful rather than harmful. In Icelandic, the term has evolved to mean "happiness''. Some individuals have stronger hamingjas, leading to better luck. 😇 Leif Erikson, the first European to discover America nearly 500 years before Columbus, exemplifies this belief, although his colony did not last. A strong hamingja was essential for good leaders, as it could influence the luck of their followers. Chieftains with prolonged bad luck, indicating a weak hamingja, might be expected to sacrifice themselves to allow for a stronger leader.😫🙇🏻 Conversely, leaders with strong hamingjas could share their luck. For example, King Olaf promised Leif good luck when sending him to Greenland to spread Christianity, implying that Leif would carry the king's hamingja with him. 🤞💫 Additionally, upon death, individuals could pass their hamingja to their children or grandchildren, similar to an inheritance. Parents sometimes named children after renowned ancestors, hoping to transfer the ancestor's powerful hamingja to their offspring. Overall, the philosophy of hamingja provides a captivating perspective on the interplay of luck and fate in life. 🍀𝓁𝓊𝒸𝓀𝓎🍀

I remember in 1x13 I think Askeladd said he wants the next king to make sure Wales is left untouched, which could be argued as a selfless goal.

Animals can have it pretty in anime, ifyou start watching jojo and see how Araki treats puppies. Damn
