| i don´t recall Canute having that much participation during Farmland saga when trying the manga, but then again, I read it long ago. |

| thorfinn and einar finally cleared the forest and are almost free men so quick, nice stuff. i've already acknowledged canute's development before, i didn't even realize how fire how he looks now. a real king, indeed. the difference in atmosphere from canute's flashback and the present was crazy tho. looking forward to more of canute. |

| that's quite nice of the master to let them go just after sowing. if the master is going to meet harald then he will inevitably meet canute as well. maybe thorifnn will come up somewhere now? he's the mc but he hasn't done much mc-ing till now lol. i really don't know where story will go from now. they are becoming free earlier than expected and now they don't even know what to do now. i think einar will choose to stay behind as retainer, he wants to be with arhenid afterall. canute really went from princess to a real king ( in body and soul). didn't think he would become a schizo though. sad. it's interesting to see how we touvh upon the mental states of the characters in this series. most series' don't. we can see the mental struggle of these characters who look so tough and big. just shows that mental battle is stronger than physical battle and also winning a mental battle is more rewarding. just look at thorfinn now. he's come a long long way from getting excited going to war as a child to wanting to eradicate war and slavery. one direction i think this story can go in in my opinion is that somehow canute and thorfinn meet up and they end war and slavery together but seeing canute's character now, that seems unlikely. somewhere here thorkell should be coming as well. he's still not out of the picture. i wonder how thorkell would feel and react when he sees thorfinn now after all these years and finds out he became a slave and how he's given up violence for good now. so much is yet to happen, so much yet to explore. excited to see what's in store for us now. it's nice that it's 2 cours. |

| Interesting directing for sure, strongest episode. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| Very good episode, and it was sad what happened to Harald, i think the story with the flashbacks have been expanded more than in the manga |
| Every week I watch and every week I'm left asking myself fuck, that was it? I'm always engrossed in the episode. It's perfect. |
| On one hand, we have Canute who, under the "curse of the crown" is most likely going to bring about a lot of war. And on the other, we have Thorfinn, who already having lived through shit, now dreams of peace. My senses are tingling. |

| With that, 3 years go by and Thorfinn and Einar have cleared all of the forest, with only the stumps needed to be removed so have the ground can be fully ready for farming. The smile on both guy's faces, especially Thorfinn's, was very wholesome. =) Not only are the two proud of their efforts, but so was Ketil. He told them that once they sow the seeds into the ground, they will have their freedom back. Both Einar and Thorfinn are unsure on what they want to do once they claim their freedom again, although Ketil offering the pair to be retainers under him was a surprise before he left to see King Harald. King Canute was also on his way to see King Harald, his older brother, who has fallen critically ill. That is thanks to Canute poisoning him, which goes to show the contrast of him going down this dark path compared to Thorfinn emerging out of it and into the king light. The added part of Canute seeing King Sweyn's severed head talking to him was a solid representation of his inner thoughts. It does make me worry for Ketil and his bratty son, who're on their way to see King Harald. It'll be interesting to see where the story will go next. |
| I guess time to focus on Canute now. |
| Huge death flags over Ketil with him promising to free Einar and Thorfinn so soon. Well I guess he is too kind for a slave owner. Brilliant episode yet again |

Though I haven't read the manga so could be wrong. |

| eps 1 -9 most boring episode !!! the fuck they just being farmer !! |

Though I haven't read the manga so could be wrong. True but his method is going to bring about a lot of war. Besides, I wouldn't rule out him getting overly ambitious and going on further conquests. |

I'm all ready for the big fight, if there's any. |
| god damn has canute changed, he's like a completely different person and looks like he also got an imaginary friend yAy. shit's bouta go down man |
 |
| Wow a three year time skip. I get the feeling Ketil is not going to come back from that trip... The parallel character development with Canute and Thorfinn is just incredible. Thorfinn was a violent, vengeance seeking warrior and is now swearing to never hurt anyone again. Canute was a peaceful, gentle prince and is now corrupted by power under the "curse" of being a king. I fear Thorfinn is going to be forced to fight again. |
| Those 3 years went by so fast lol. Good job, Thorfinn and Einar! The bois be looking jacked from all that lumberjack cutting. Their master gave them a discount of freedom after they till the soil and wait for him to return. What an absolute win win situation. King Canute looking very different. More manly even lol. It seems he got a "king's curse" as he sees king Sweyn decapitated head talking to him. Pestering Canute about poisoning his big bro in order to take over Denmark. It was quite an interesting perspective. Can't wait to see more of what King Canute has in plan. |
 |
| Drop this anime if you genuinely believe nothing has happened so far. Drop it, now. Do it. |
 |
| Above average episode and it looks like Canute is going to carry the show, 6.7/10. |
| Great episode with Thorfinn and Einar being soon to be released finally after working so much but Canute's development has been one of the most interesting thing so far especially how much he changed since after his father comes his brother to die because of his actions for his plan |
 |
| Its time for Canute saga, I enjoy them SoL times but more importantly its great seeing them wartimes. |
