This quote is by Canute:
I will create a worldly paradise in this land. A place of peace and prosperity. An ideal country for those who live in suffering... Perhaps the work will not be finished in my generation. But I will be the one to take that first bold step.

Yessir exactly
Wasn't this what Arthur Pendragon (Seven Deadly Sins) said as well when he awaken his power after and after the defeat of Cath Palug? Man, these guys are so similar!
Both of them were weak and kind who slowly become strong and cunning and procededd to be the tyrant rulers they once wanted to exterminate!
Both of them were almost killed by someone close to them (Thorfinn for Canute and Meliodas for Arthur) and escaped narrowly!
Both of them planned to build a peaceful utopia where there shall be no war, no suffering and peace only but in turn both forgot their goals and choose violence and tyranny!
Only difference being Canute was a coward at past, hesitating to talk with anyone but his caretaker while Arthur was brave from very beginning since he was a kid and grew up mostly on his own!
So yeah, no review for last week, hope it pays off!
