2x4

Just realized that the nightmare sequence was the exact manifestation of the scene from S1 Ep7 when Thorfinn took out that commander during that Seige in france.

Amrith

Something worth noting is that Einar never actually laid hands on Thorfinn in the manga, he stood over him and clenched his fists but before he was able to even kneel down he was stopped by Thorfinn's nightmare. Personally I am not sure why the anime made the subtle changes to Einar in the anime, he seems much more angry than his manga self, but I think it's interesting to consider why the changes were made

The ending song fits so well, because it captures the symbolism of the show.

Raiden blood

No one thinks they’re that kind of person until the moment happens. You can really lose yourself when rage takes over. And this environment is one that’s known for pushing people to the breaking point.

Chelle

I don't think Einar is really that kind of person regardless but I strongly agree with everything else you said.

KaijinGarou

I don't think so because Thorfinn has that recurrent nightmare anyway. The fact that the nightmare started at that time was probably more like a narrative device for greater impact.

KaijinGarou

Can’t blame Einar for reacting the way he did, but the fact that Thorfinn is so clearly not that guy anymore (he’s all empty now) is what gave Einar the chance to see that hating him is a waste of time. Instead he chose to be angry that Thorfinn was willing to throw his own life away. I honestly think that if Thorfinn was still the same as he was in season 1, Einar might have actually killed him here.

kid thorfinn stepped on the cricket in his dream cause he was destroying life when he was younger and lost, so the cricket moving out of the way when Canute walks by could mean a couple things.

I think to understand the cricket symbolism, you need to look at the other scenes with animals in this episode and think about what they're doing in common. like, the dung beetle was rolling dung which it does for it's babies, there was a hedgehog carrying it's child, and the crickets were chirping to find a partner or something.

💯 It’s one of those shows i continue to think about a lot even after recording our reactions. It’s shattered my expectations 100 times over.

Carlie & Ange

I just want to say I appreciate Ange's healthy masculinity. we need more men like you in the world!

Martina

I agree, it's a very good thing that Thorfinn happened to meet Einar of all people. They can complement each other very well and Einar can help him grow a lot.

KaijinGarou

Great reaction! Ya I was like Ange obsessed not only with the crickets but the insects/animal they showed. Like the beetle and hedgehog looking animal as well. This show is a soooo good. GOATland Saga IMO. I think snake has that "IT" factor like askeladd had. He probably did not feel threatened by Fox cutting him up. But the look snake had and the intention to kill reminded him of Askeladd. Hence why he moved.

Ange, thank you so much for speaking it out! This show can give you chills without plotting an epic fight or just having an emotional death or something like that. I have the exact same oppinion like you. THIS SHOW just have the best written characters and dialoges of all animes (mangas) i've watched (read) and there are endless many I've watched in my life.

Vulovic Nemanja

My impression was that einar started choking him, and that choking induced the nightmare state to begin which continued even when einar stopped.

Nemo

Loving it, such a good show
