「仕えし者」 (Tsukaeshi mono)
“Servant”

The cliffhangers keep coming as Vinland Saga continues to stake its claim as one of the greatest shows from this season.

「ケダモノの歴史」 (Kedamono no Rekishi)
“History of Beasts”

A reminder of why the Geneva Conventions exist for good reason.

「冬至祭のあと」 (Yuru no Ato)
“After Yule”

King Sweyn might have been Canute’s father. But he sure as heck isn’t his daddy.

「暁光」 (Gyoukou)
“The Light of Dawn”

It’s one thing to read about the ruthless massacre of people in the news, before nonchalantly going about your daily business. It’s a whole other thing to see the systematic murdering of innocents begging for their lives play out on screen.

「英雄の子」 (英雄の子)
“The Hero’s Child”

A quintessential exposition into the motivations of a character who has largely remained mysterious.

「対岸の国」 (Taigan no kuni)
“The Land on The Far Bank”

Long before, there existed a civilisation of Romans, who were driven into Wales by the invading Anglo-Saxons.

「賭け」 (Kake)
“A Gamble”

You can’t see the forest for the trees when there’s smoke everywhere because you’re burning it down.

「ラグナロク」 (Ragunaroku)
“Ragnarok”

Thorfinn: Ragnarok. The extended edition.

「ロンドン橋の死闘」 (Rondonkyou no shitou)
“The Battle of London Bridge”

I repeat, contrary to the popular nursery rhyme, London Bridge is not falling down. At least not from the combined invasion in 1013 AD.

「海の果ての果て」 (Umi no Hate no Hate)
“The Edge of the Sea”

This ep wasn’t just back in-character, it was flat-out superb.
