I love the minor shading details relating to Kamau's eyes. Usually whenever we see him he has pure black shading surrounding his eyes, which gives him a more menacing appearance. However in the flashback Kamau doesn't have the black shading around his eyes until he fights for the first time. It further emphasizes how much of a gentle giant he was before the egyptians(I think) invaded, as well as what he had to become to protect his daughter. Animation at its best in my opinion

@@Bluebelle9289 I think despite sharing some stylish similarity to Egypt, I don't really think they are Egyptians. They are probably more akin to the notorious Sea People due to their modus operandi. The exact mysterious group of people that raided Egypt and many Mediterranean Great Civilizations, who ultimately lead to the collapse of the Bronze Age. Egypt was one of the Sea People`s greatest victim. Like how the Mongols, Manchu, Liao people and many horse riding tribes that neighboured and raided China borrowed lot of stylistic designs from China. So much so that Russians mistaken the Khitan people for Han Chinese, that to this day the word "Khitan" had became the official word to describe Chinese. I think a similar case appiles here. As Egypt while is a great civilization, isn't known for Naval warfare, while it had great military victory, most of it are on land. Same goes for its Female rulers like Nefertiti and Nitocris.

What breaks my heart is this episode proved Kamau is a gentle giant and doesn’t necessarily believe in violence. The ONLY reason he fights is to protect his daughter, but doesn’t believe in unnecessary violence. The queen made Kamau do terrible things that went against everything he stood for and literally tortured his soul by making him slaughter tens of thousands of innocent people. And it was all to protect his daughter because he loved her so much. He didn’t deserve what happened to him and was a victim during all of this, but I’m glad they finally got a happy ending.
It’s very interesting to know kamua is from a people that are very large. It would mean his daughter would become giant as well. Much like fang and her children.

This is just the natural evolution of what he started with Samurai Jack. In the original run he fought primarily robots so didn't have to worry about showing any violence. Then came the revival on Adult Swim which was basically a pilot for Primal. The silly light hearted moments were drastically reduced and Jack was now fighting human opponents. While the gore never came close to what we see in Primal, it was still a far cry from slicing up robots with cartoon swooshing sound effects with every sword slash.

You have the Neanderthals, Africans, Celtics, Vikings, Egyptians it’s such a great story. Genndy Tartokovksy knows how to take different time periods of history and mix them all together and have it all make sense and be realistic.
To know who we have seen as a brute and a monster is only a gentle giant is such a beautiful twist. Even if you could see it coming it was so well done and so expertly crafted. What a beautiful show

Kamau knew that if he would've killed Fang, Spear, and Mira, he would never be set free and he would've still remained as the Queen's slave for the rest of his life, while she used his daughter as leverage. As long as the Queen holds Kamau's daughter hostage, he would he continue to serve her, until he died. That's why you should learn to fight back, or otherwise, you'll end up serving a tyrant, a narcissist, or a criminal for the rest of your life, or until they discard you.

I wanted her to suffer extreme pain but Kamau gave her a quick death.
My theory is that Kamau and his people’s size and strength was a result of selective breeding and the evolution of their culture. I believe long ago their race was not so different from regular early humans, except for one key difference, that being that Kamau’s people were very violent. Much like the Ape Men of Episode 5 I think their culture was extremely hostile towards other creatures and towards each other. They developed a strong belief that only the strong were meant to prosper and the weak needed to be eliminated from their population. Over the course of many centuries they held gladiatorial-like battles where only the strongest individuals were left standing afterwards, which ultimately lead to the elimination of weakness in their race. The victors were often the biggest and the strongest individuals so those traits were passed down from generation after generation and became more and more prominent. Over the course of time a new race of homosapiens had been born… The Giants. However there was a problem, their population was declining significantly. Their numbers had been greatly reduced due to the overly excessive use of violence on their own people. So they ultimately came up with a solution, which was to stop fighting. They took a vow and swore to never use violence on each other or anyone else ever again and they ultimately became pacifists. Many years passed and the tribe of giants began to thrive once again after leaving their old ways behind. They had learned from their mistakes and became peaceful farmers, teachers, and healers. They believed in their new way of life so much that they even refused to cut down trees and instead built their huts by weaving grass and straw. Although their size and strength were still prevalent they never used it to harm other individuals again. However tragedy struck one faithful day when the Egyptians attacked Kamau’s village. Although the giants could’ve easily defeated the Egyptians they refused to fight because they still remained faithful to the vow their ancestors made to never use violence again so they allowed themselves to be enslaved. Kamau however was the only member of his tribe to break this code and fight due to the love for his daughter. We see that although he did not believe in violence, Kamau understood that violence is necessary as a last resort when it comes to protecting your loved ones. The queen saw this and used it to her advantage and manipulated Kamau and used his size and strength for violence as his ancestors once did. The other tribe members however refused to fight for her, so the queen used their strength for a different purpose which was to row the Colossus. This all changed in Episode 19 when Spear, Fang, Mira, and Kamau all broke free from the queen’s control and Kamau’s daughter leads Kamau to a lower deck where he discovers what the queen has done to his people. Kamau is then attacked by Egyptian soldiers and he defends himself and his daughter. One of the villagers sees this and after observing his fellow tribe member fighting and killing the soldiers who wrongfully imprisoned him and his people he becomes inspired. He chooses to retaliate as well which sparks an uproar from the other villagers. They easily break free from their imprisonment and mange to exterminate the Egyptians as a whole. From that day on Kamau’s people still remained a peaceful tribe, but they realized that it is ok to occasionally use violence when it is necessary and when defending themselves and their loved ones. This is just my theory and is not based on any actual facts so don’t take it too seriously. I’d still love to hear y’all’s opinions tho and what you guys believe.
I'd pay money for this series to be a game. It's not too long but not short with the amount of adventures they have had.
You know, I knew Kamau was a big guy but this episode really made me realize that he was a BIG guy. In fact, all his people are. A bunch of LITERAL giants. Now, it could be just me, but I feel like they made Kamau bigger with each episode because before this episode, not ONCE was I ever under the impression that he was THAT enormous. Lol

It’s interesting that she kept him as the only one to fight for her when she basically had an army after enslaving his people. Then again since he was the only one to fight back and the others were still passive it was smart to keep them separate as too many of them fighting for her could end up turning on her even faster than now. She was lucky the others didn’t see him fight back at that time to do the same.

I like the movement of clouds we see at 3:30 It's because the ship is moving. but it crates the illusion that time is passing quickly and it parallels with how Kamau is agonizing over what likely feels like hours to him.
I fear for Kamau in the finale. He's the only one who matches the Fire Giant in stature, which also makes him the closest in might. He could be gone for good after that last episode, but if he and his daughter come back for the finale, he may end up having to face the Giant out of necessity. And I don't like his odds.

This is just me, but i didn’t even realize how HUGE Kamau is
He really went from "peaceful giant" to "punch a guy through the door" in less than a minute

Tbf, they held his daughter hostage and enslaved his people, anyone would go from pacifist to angry berserker in a matter of seconds if given the opportunity to give the culprits some payback
YOOOO DID HOMEBOYS HAVE BIG CHICKENS!?!?!
0:17 spear was saying "you stay away from her!"
It's amazing how Kamau and Ima were once part of an agricultural African village of giants who seemed happy, until it was changed when that awful tyrant queen came, attacked captured some of Kamau's people, and how the queen held Ima for ransom so that Kamau would obey. From a gentle giant pacifist to being forced to fight and kill so no harm would come to his little girl, I feel bad for the poor guy. But setting Fang free, freeing his people and fighting back, he's totally awesome sauce.
It's the little things ✨
One of the greatest shows ever made!
Just how many lives was Kamau forced to take under the Queen's control?

I feel like that's a question everyone has been ignoring. We all froth at the mouth at how much we hate the viking father, but this father gets a pass? I get that they had different reasons, but let's not pretend like the head count doesn't matter.

@@gallowglass3764 the difference is that the Viking Chief was acting out of his own self interest, and Kamua was acting under duress. He would not have taken anyone's life on his own volition. The Viking Chief is like the Egyptian Queen, invading people's homes and enslaving and pillaging. Kamau and the chief are not comparable.

@@gallowglass3764 not true. In a court of law whether you were acting under duress, especially if a loved one is being threatened, does count for something in how the law treats you. It won't spare you from all consequences but you certainly would not be treated to the same level of punishment as the Viking Chief for his crimes.
I remember there being speculation that he would either free fang or swing the axe at the queen so glad he did both
His town is filled with gentle giants they didn’t want this especially kamau
Poor Kamau and his people only want to live in piece
One Easter egg is that the herder (the one that surrendered first) was also the one who started the revolution by being the first to stand up to the guards forcing them to row the boat.

Giant are known to be tough and strong but know that in the end, they're gentle enough to notice the flowers
Kammau had empathy for Fang being a parent himself
I think Kamau and his people were pacifists. Despite their large size I believe Kamau’s people didn’t believe in violence and stuck by a certain code and they weren’t willing to break that code at first which cost them their freedom. Kamau was the only one to break that code and fight because of his love for his daughter and would do anything to protect her. The queen saw Kamau was the only one in the entire village willing to fight so she made him fight her war and put him on the front lines and since the other giants wouldn’t fight she used their strength for a different purpose, to row the Colossus ship.

that may explain a lot of things, because I really though it didn't make any sense for such strong giants to be captured in the first place, I mean if they could rise up in rebellion and literally annihilate the Egyptians then why have they been enduring slavery for so long?

The best thing about PRIMAL is that unlike these current cartoons and series (some from 2010) like CN, nick, disney etc with their serious and dark stories and with those feminine and inclusive characters, PRIMAL knows how to balance that hostile and sad environment with characters from many cultures and peoples. What's more, it reminds me of great classics from adult series like Futurama, Family Guy, South Park, American Dad and Bobs Burgers.

As beaten down as Kamau was, he realized that Fang and Spear were his best chance at saving his daughter, and that if he killed them he may never come across such powerful allies against the Queen again.
This show is a masterpiece. The journey we have been on since season 1 episode one...the amount of times I've been on the edge of my seat, in tears, holding my breath, cheering for characters. Having *compassion* for the misunderstood.... im in such awe of Genndys storytelling. Without words. It's truly a masterpiece
I love when the characters give their war cries

Kamru never wanted to be violent. It’s was all for his daughter and he was in the exact same situation that Fang was in.
Something I think is interesting is that in the flashback scene The Queen and her soldiers never technically beat Kamau. That is, they weren't able to subdue him with force. The Queen was only able to get him to kneel by sneaking behind him and holding a knife to his daughter's throat. Why that's interesting is that Kamau isn't "forced" to be there. If he wanted to leave they wouldn't be able to stop him. If he wanted to kill The Queen they wouldn't be able to stop him. Literally the only thing that is keeping him in line is the fact that his daughter's life is being actively threatened by The Queen, and since they were never able to subdue him with force they have literally no way of controlling him outside of that. What's even more interesting is that The Queen can't actually act on her threat. Once Kamau's daughter is dead A. She'd lose all leverage she has over Kamau, B. Kamau would probally kill her as an act of revenge. So she can put out a lot of threats but she can't actually follow through or everything falls apart. So what it looks like in practice is that the second Kamau's daughter gets 10 feet from the queen all hell breaks loose. Even outside of the morality it was a terrible plan that wouldv'e never ended well.

Kamau's flashback made me even more sorry for him and glad he didn't go through with killing Fang. It's also INCREDIBLY satisfying he gave Ima what for in the end.
