  • Probably the most violent war of any series and movie ever made, too much blood is seen during MUCH of the episode

Beheadings, decapitation, dismemberment (which only begins to scrape the surface of the violence) are frequently shown on screen accompanied by detailed and graphic injury detail and gore. Horses are brutally killed.

  • A man slices the throats of two other men. A little bit of blood, not graphic.
  • A wolf's decapitated head is shown briefly.
  • A huge chaotic war scene takes up half of the episode, with consistent, brutal and detailed war violence (slashings, stabbings, getting shot by arrows, decapitation, disembowelment, trampling, and blunt trauma). Thousands of people die on screen with blood, gore and guts shown throughout, and their bodies pile up on top of each other surrounding an entire landscape. Men are covered in lots of blood and guts.
  • A giant kills several other people while getting shot by several arrows. There is one scene where he rips a man in half. He is brought the ground before a final arrow is shot into his eye.
  • A man throws another man to the ground and BRUTALLY punches and batters him hard in the face several times. Each impact is audible with gross sound effects such as blood squishing and bones cracking. Blood is seen all over his face along with a few bruises.
