I think that last part was referring to the crowns curse. Kinda seemed like he was saying the curse of the crown was "nothing" when compared to his quest to form a utopia.(Just my thoughts)
its crazy u can interpret that part in many ways. imo it means that all that stuff, manipulating ppl, poisoning his brother, becoming king of two kingdoms was nothing yet and he has much more in store for his utopia
@@kidflash9905 hell no. Not consistent with his character arc. He literally trying to build a utopia. Paradise on earth. So he has the ambition to become god or guide the world towards peace. And you can see he is abolishing old Viking tradition and ending slavery. He is on a similar path to Thorfinn or Thors. In his own way becoming a true warrior. Both Thorfinn and Canute have a deep relationship with Thors. Thorfinn now understanding what it means to have no enemies and Canute with his realization of what love is which is indiscriminate.
Did you know Canute's Voice actor is also Floch in AoT, Giorno in JOJO, and Yuri Briar in Spy X Family? I just looked him up because he is also the MC of a game I am playing "Triangle Strategy"
For those who are interested in reading along with the manga, this episode adapted the entirety of chapter 72, and the first 17 pages (out of 22 total) of chapter 73. In regards to the passage of time (which is more explicitly indicated in the manga) this episode takes place in 1018, with it specifically being September 1018 at Ketil’s farm (and since Einar arrived at Ketil’s during the early-middle Summer of 1015, it’s been a little over 3 years since he started working with Thorfinn to clear the forest). This currently makes Thorfinn 22 years old, and Einar 23 years old. Some trivia for this episode: the flashback scenes of Canute and Harald as kids playing are anime original additions (though Canute discussing how he and Harald used to play the ball game is in the manga). Also the man who Canute greets as Wulf (who is one of Canute’s loyal men) is likely based on the real-life Ulf Thorgilsson, commonly known as Ulf Jarl. Who in real-life ended up becoming Canute’s brother-in-law by way of marriage to Canute’s sister Estrid (who we meet in this episode as well). In regards to Canute’s final lines in this episode, the manga phrased it like this: “So this is it. Nothing to it.” The way I interpreted it is that Canute is trying to convince himself (and/or while also being sarcastic to himself) that the horrible things he has to do for his goal of utopia aren’t that significant/great a weight for him. Like he’s trying to convince himself that he doesn’t feel guilty or remorse for poisoning his brother, because it’s all for the “greater good” Canute is pursuing in his ambition.
nah fam if canute had a problem w/ 2 kings she should've been the one to off himself. give the crown to King Harald. rn it's just evil ambition from my view
Yeah that egg head shape dude is gunnar.. he is ragnar younger brother.. before ragnar died.. he told askeladd to meet gunnar back in s1

In that situation though it's the same as Canute saying the guilt of killing a brother that loved him was nothing either

@@Gonapa58 You're both correct. The weight of the cursed crown is cruelty. Rule with an Iron fist.
I interpreted it as, "Is this all you get from doing all this, This isn't worth it"

Canute really went on a poisoning spree off screen XD

I actually didn’t make the connection that Canute misinterpreted his brother’s words about strength. Damn
