This is the danger of this episode in particular. You can't warn reaction content creators without spoiling a bit of the tragedy. Yet as you experienced, it messes people up for a day emotionally lol.

The intro was hilarious knowing the contents of this episode 😆

Question for discussion: Is a death penalty revenge or justice?

That last scene, I've always taken that as Gardar arriving the afterlife and getting surprised by the fact that his son is also there. You can see how he's worried and concerned about it at first for what it means (Hjalti is dead), but then he gets happy he is reunited with his son finally. I always get broken by this episode

I don't think anyone could confuse the scene as being anything other than them being reunited in the afterlife :')

Lovely reaction Sophie, here a tissue 🧻 I apologize for the lengthy comment, but this episode happens to be one of my all-time favorite anime series.💯💔🔥 Arnheid's strength glows brightly amidst her suffering. I deeply admire her. Even though she has been thrust into a life filled with misery and concubinage, she decides to channel her remaining energy not into bitterness, but into comforting the husband who has been taken from her. In Gardar's final moments, Arnheid bears the heavy emotional burden of guiding him to peace. In the midst of the chaos and violence that have marked their lives, she creates a refuge of tranquility, showcasing the lasting power of love. Realizing that Gardar's injuries are fatal, Arnheid makes the ultimate sacrifice: a loving untruth. She reassures him that their son, Hjalti, is safe, providing him with a sense of closure and allowing him to pass away in her embrace, filled with hope for a future reunion. What an incredible display of strength and compassion. 👏 Although Gardar's role in the narrative was short-lived, his fate leaves a profound impact, serving as a poignant reminder of the tragedies that resonate through history and continue to affect our world. This show, a contemporary masterpiece, reflects these harsh realities. This particular episode serves as a trigger for deep emotional release, even for those on YouTube who typically maintain a stoic demeanor. The moment when Gardar reunites with his son in the afterlife (or its depiction) is especially heart-wrenching, particularly for fathers, who are often overwhelmed by the raw, unfiltered emotion of the scene. It stands as a testament to the show's ability to reach into the deepest reservoirs of human empathy and understanding.

Final note, I appreciate a lot your instructive introduction that refers to the status of true warrior taught by Thors during season 1. Similarly, the concept of unconditional love conveyed by the priest seems as you said before to be an unattainable goal for human nature in a violent and greedy world, yet it aims to instill a desire to get as close as possible to these ideals.

The way in which the interplay of line, color, music, written words, and voice can come together to evoke such deep emotions that we find ourselves ugly crying... this is art, welcome to Peakland Saga! 🥹

It's damage control for a system that failed the sentenced.

Not got much more to add than what has already been said about Gardar, but an interesting little historical detail is that Snake mentions that he is a Warrior of Miklagard - which is the old Danish name for Constantinople. His sword is a typical Byzantine style scimitar. So one of the few things we can gleam about his past is that he is an Antolian or what we'd say today, a Turk. The Danes had regular trade with Miklagard, which translates roughly to "The great city" or "The vast city". At the Jorvik centre in York we have examples of Byzantine coins that were found amongst Danish money. But the idea of a Byzantine mercenary in Denmark is really intriguing.

Another episode storyboarded by Atsushi Kobayashi, along with 4 and 9. I don't think I'll ever run out of platitudes for his work this season. This episode actually marks as the first noteworthy deviation from the source material. See, the manga was much more grounded than the adaptation, and lacked the dreaminess that permeates through it. In fact, it actually ends at the shot of Gardar closing his eyes, everything past that is anime original. This serves to create a very poignant title change: whereas this chapter in the manga, 86, was titled "no going home," that has changed into "the way home." There's a big parallel between Thorfinn and Thors in this episode that I wanted to mention. The fight with Snake serves as Thorfinn's first proper test of his ideals and morals, much like how Thors' first proper test was his duel with Askeladd. What these two have in common is that despite their physical altercation, in both cases there was an opportunity to have words. Askeladd asked Thors to be their leader, and Snake asked Thorfinn how much their lives were worth. I have no doubt in my mind that a good oralist would have been able to deescalate these situations to prevent loss of further life. Although not totally similar, both failed in a similar way. It's like Askeladd said in s1e24. Thorfinn doesn't need to *match* his father; he needs to go *beyond* that world, into the realm of a true warrior.

When I watched it, I thought I was cool and would be able to go through it. That final line though, when Arnheid said 'welcome home,' I somehow totally didn't expect it and I finally broke. Amazing episode

OHHH! Interesting!! I actually had no clue what he was referring to so thank you for the additional context!

Kaylee Hubbard

This episode absolutely DESTROYED ME. I’m so sorry you had to watch this but so glad too 😭🩷

Finally i'm here...watching and bawling again 😭 I went into this episode all hyped for the fight between Snake and Thorfinn and I left it in a puddle on the floor. I would think of it randomly throughout the evening the day I watched it and I would just start right up again. WHEW. 😪 Everything about Gardar's send off was perfect. The music, their conversation, the cherished moments he saw from his life, the regrets he had at his death, Arnheid crying and hugging him and saying "Welcome home" at the end while that piano breaks my heart... I'm making myself cry more. 🥲 I like that you pointed out Arnheid was showing mercy to Snake! It did not even occur to me at the time. The themes in this show are consistent! A belated tissue for you - this episode was rough! ❤️
