Everything about this fight was insane

- The Raikage's being a Tailed Beast in a human form, and putting all of that immense chakra into his speed to escape Sasuke's Mangekyo, an impossible achievement, to avoid being sighted and ignited with Amaterasu on sight.

- Him making Suicide attacks on Sasuke through his Amaterasu engulfed Susano'o and fighting while Amaterasu is burning his arm, putting his life on the line to avenge Killer Bee

(Even the Ten-Tails and Eight Tails were screaming from the immense pain of Amaterasu.)

- Sasuke using Kagutsuchi to concentrate Amaterasu into spikes to increase its power exponentially further to vaporize through what it touches on contact and the Raikage still attacking through the spikes.

(For reference, it's similar to the 3rd Raikage focusing his invincible spear by lowering the number of fingers. The Amaterasu in its basic form can kill a Tailed Beast and turn it to ash. Imagine its power when it's concentrated with Kagutsuchi.)

Gaara's interference makes you sigh in relief.

It's really smart also how his sand stopped the Raikage's attack. It's similar to a pillow being struck by a hammer. The hammer can break a solid wall (Sasuke's Susano'o), but it can't break a pillow (Gaara's sand)

Ay then cuts off his burning arm like nothing.

The fight is most similar to Ten-Tails Madara Vs. 8 Gates Guy. While it's on a lower level, it's significantly more intense to me.

Orochimaru Vs. Hiruzen honestly looks like a child's play by comparison.

The man is a blatant traitor, hypocrite and a misogynist.

He was already rebelling against her. He had to go.

She should have executed him earlier.

Edit: Someone said "Maegor would be proud" and "mad queen"

Executing a traitor doesn't make Rhaenyra "Maegor" or "mad". Jon Snow beheaded Janos Slynt for the same reason.

This old man was alive when Viserys selected Rhaenyra. He knows that she is Visery's heir and Aegon is a usurper.

Helaena clearly has no love for Rhaenyra and didn't know at that time she is the rightful queen.

So the vision could mean something else other than Rhaenyra being queen.

The way I see it, it's meant to set Daemon on the path of fighting Aemond.

Right after that she smirked and told Aemond he will die

So I don't see Daemon's vision being about Rhaenyra at all. Maybe even Helaena made up the vision.

A brother who wants the best for you and will guide to it by force through all kinds of torture, trauma, abuse, dehumanization, and grooming.

What more could a little brother wish for?!

I've noticed and have been saying that since season 2

That's one of the reasons why I never liked Rhaenyra

What has Rhaenyra ever done to anyone around her but use them like tools for her own benefit?

Any act that isn't purely self-serving?

This is not the look of someone who would be better king than Rhaenyra.

We criticize her because she wasn't cruel enough to burn the Hightower army and crying while killing Otto.

It's funny that his fans think that this is him becoming a better man and king for the future

This is just an evil genocidal psychopath

Let's be honest, the only reason the Greens had the courage to usurp the throne was because they had Vhagar on their side.

If Laena had lived, Aemond wouldn't be able to claim Vhagar, and she would have been Team Black since Rhaenyra is married to her brother

I think she is the only one who could have 100% prevented the dance

R.I.P. GOAT

He's heavy, strong, fast, and his weird body make it impossible to fight back for dragons on the same size.

They cannot reach for his body.

Sheepstealer literally didn't stand a chance.

.

When I saw Vermithor get intimate with Silverwing I immediately understood why. It portrays the relationship between king Jaehaerys and queen Alysanne. The original riders of Vermithor and Silverwing. They were also a married couple and in love.

I've seen people like Viserys a lot in real life. Someone with a sweet tongue, warm presence, and genuinely thinks they are a good person, but under that pretense, there's an asshole on criminal levels.

Viserys was like that.

To get his heir, Viserys pushed Aemma to get pregnant multiple times without time for recovery from each pregnancy, despite that she didn't want to, and, without her consent, he chose to kill her in a monstrous way while she's begging him not to do that to her, but he did anyway, simultaneously while telling her he loves her, so he could get his heir after he was done using her.

And he of course loved her and she loved him and all that, which only makes it worse. He betrayed her on top of brutally murdering her.

He shortly after married Alicent, a 14-year-old child (and none other than his daughter's only friend), disregarding how Rhaenyra would feel about that right after her mother died, and never taking Alicent's consent to either marry or mate with him. His relationship with her was essentially sexual abuse. Alicent was his sex slave.

Then he ignored all the children that came from her since they come from a woman he doesn't love. Each one of them grew up with mental issues

The 11-year-old Laena was the only correct choice politically, but the 14-year-old Alicent was more to his liking.

So he condemned Rhaenyra into a miserable marriage with the gay Laenor to fix his political mistake. He forced her into a marriage worse than what he rejected for himself.

Despite that he genuinely wanted peace and wanted what's good for his family, he wanted that so as long as it's at no cost to himself. Only the others would pay. Every decision he made was deeply selfish and self-interested.

He mind f***ed every one around him for his sake, and the entire continent suffered the consequences.

Daemon may and may not be as selfish as Viserys (I personally don't think he's on that level), but he's straightforward. He doesn't think or pretend he is a good person. He knows he is asshole and embraces it proudly. You'll see it coming from a mile away. Viserys romanticizes himself and strikes from blind spots.

In his mind, he genuinely thought he was a good and loving person and very often victimized himself, and this makes him worse. He's double faced.

I think the fact that he literally ends up with a half zombie face is a metaphor about his character.

I think that Rhaenyra is also her father's daughter, which explains why she treats her allies with disregard in such a selfish manner.

They currently actually have 7 dragons, not 6.

Caraxes, Vermithor, Sheepstealer, Silverwing, Seasmoke, Syrax, and Moon Dancer.

*spoiler* >!Daemon on Caraxes can kill or stalemate Vhagar in a 1v1 which is about the same size, if not bigger than Balerion during the conquest!<

So, no Daemon wasn't talking nonsense. Aegon and his sisters would defeated by Team Black at this point

And the Greens were outmatched from the very start. They arguably could have been wiped out in a day

Bad leadership and bad decisions is what's f***ing Team Black up

It seems to me that each of them has already sort of cheated on the other, but also I don't believe that either one would care who the other sleeps with.

This aligns with what he said about marriage being just a political arrangement and they can **** who they want.

What do you think about that?
