[@dachazzman3685]

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]

Also interesting the Queen's and soldier's headdresses have horns similar to those worn by the Egyptian mother goddesses Hathor and Isis, who have no affiliation with war or vengeance.

It’s also something I’ve noticed with older west African men aswell. They’re faces give them naturally soft features but the prominent brow makes it so that angry faces almost completely change that

[@VERGILGASM]

Also, Spear's father has a similar shade around his eyes

[@bosunbill9059]

​@@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.

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.

[@huntercool2232]

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.

[@pyrogrimm7653]

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.

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.

[@gallowglass3764]

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.

[@Passions5555]

@@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]

@@Passions5555 I mostly agree. But the numbers still count. In a court of law, motive doesn't change the sentence. I can empathize more with Kamua, but it doesn't mean I wish a different fate upon him as I do the vikings.

[@RollieRhino420]

@@Passions5555 i bet the Vikings will be given a back story as well on why they need to enslave. The chieftain was pissed asf when Mira jumped. Maybe it’s a sacrificial system?

[@Passions5555]

@@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.

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.

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

Man that is just heart wrenching

[@huntercool2232]

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.

[@msba7]

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?
