The best episode of this amazing season! They've done a great job with the direction and combination of visuals and soundtrack. That famous scene "I have no enemies" gave me goosebumps - it's noticeable that the entire team, including the voice actor, artists and composer, put all their effort into delivering just this one line in a way that you'll never forget. Ever since the second episode of the first season, when Thors first said these words to little Thorfinn, we understood that the whole story would lead precisely to the moment when the protagonist would remember his father's most valuable lesson, and this scene did not disappoint at all in terms of conveying the importance of these words.

The confrontation between Thorfinn and Canute was also very atmospheric and tense. The colorists managed to properly convey the ominous atmosphere that surrounds Canute and his army, while they stand almost motionless under the setting sun.

P. S. Did you know that the scene with Canute and the sea is based on the old legend about King Canute the Great, the real-history prototype of this character? According to legend, the king was tired of the flattery and fawning of his courtiers, and when one of them said that the king could demand obedience from the sea, Canute demonstrated the impossibility of this act, showing that not everything is in the power of kings. There are many illustrations of this legend, some of them are several centuries old.
