  4. For everyone wondering why Kamau (being a "giant") didn't defend his village immediately would indicate 🤔 he is aware size doesn't truly matter. Because a well placed attack with a sword or a spear in the ankle or the calf muscle area would guaranteed victory. Yes brute strength is good but can only get you so far when an invading colony of Egyptian warriors who possess pointy sharp serrated spears to caused unnatural damage most certainly mean doom.

  6. 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.

  9. In my opinion Kama (and the other giants) are most definitely giving me Samoan vibes. Some of the nicest most friendliest goddam people on the planet but cross them or their family and you’ll be sent literally flying 365 days to Sunday. And I’m all for it

  18. Kamau is possibly the most complex character in the entire series.
    We see his pacifist roots, but among all the others of his village, he was the first to resort to violence.
    This tells me that Kamau made a choice to a pacifist. A personal choice, untainted by external conditions or coercion.
    Unlike the rest of the villagers who took years of oppression to awaken their violent instincts, Kamau is quickly able to trigger his violent side in defense of his daughter.
    In all likelihood there was a time, when a younger Kamau engaged in violence and killings. But, with time and age, he came to see the error and obsolescence of a lifestyle dyed red in blood of his victims, and thus willingly he decided to use his hands for peace rather than his fists for war.
