Canute is one big bitch. I didn't like him when he was a pussy but I don't like him now that he has grown balls. Though Thorfinn said he won't kill, he should kill that faggot.
Canute could have be a great villain if his transformation was believable.
Good chapter nontheless.

wow...that was a really tension-filled conversation. Both Canute and Thorfinn have changed completely from what they were 4 years ago. you can almost say that they are going in the exact opposite direction of what they set out to do in the beginning.
Yeah, no kidding. I hope Thorfinn can make Chanute wake up a bit.

Finally, the long-awaited confrontation. Thorfinn starts by throwing Canute off by apologizing for scarring him and addressing himself with "watashi" instead of "ore". He then tells Canute that he now has the face of a true ruler, and Canute responds with that sounds like something Askeladd would say.
After Thorfinn asks Canute to leave, we get Yukimura's version of Canute and the waves. However, instead of praising God like in the original version, Canute discusses his plans to build a paradise on earth and decalres himself as the vikings'emperor. Einar then points out the flaws in his logic and how in hell the killing that was carried out under his orders had ended up saving anyone. The chapter ends with Canute beckoning Thorfinn to kill him, because that's the only way he could stop him.
At first, I thought Ulf's joke about Canute and Ketil settling it off with a game of chess could be some foreshadowing, but I have no idea where this is going. We also got Thorfinn's vow to never kill again, so I wonder how he's going to take back Ketil's farm, if he's going to take it back. Maybe Thorgil will appear and save the day :p
