Another review has pointed this out already, it's like the death of Ned or Ragnar in their respective shows. But in my opinion this is one of the most predictable deaths not in a horror movie. I could see this coming from three episodes away.
The animation and the fight as a whole where incredible and the voice acting (english dub) were incredible in their own way. The writing is written in a way that leaves many things open for payoff beautifully.
Thors was my favorite character and he had a lot of depth. As soon as the fight started, I knew how it would end, but regardless it hit hard. Thorfinn is incredibly vulnerable now and this episode leaves off like it's a pilot. In fact, I believe the first four episodes could have been combined for a more cohesive story and pilot.
9.5/10 The only big flaw is the predictability of it all.
