Game of Thrones: Season 5 – Last Fight of ser Barristan Selmy with Greyworm (vs sons of the harpy)

he cut through em like cake

I remember the first time I watched this scene. I was so excited to watch Ser Barristan Selmy fight. At first i was so pissed that he died by alleyway thugs. But then I realized hes almost 70 years old, and he still managed to kill more than 10 people. That is excellent! I'm sure this would've been just another simple sword fighting practice session if this was Ser Barristan in his prime.

What I don't get is why the Unsullied does not carry a sidearm sword or similar – seriously, their spears are just problematic with theirstyle of fighting and being in this close quarters. Sure, master weapons for duelling or for battlefiedls with many opponents, but in these cramped conditions, the Harpies short swords are why they won

Barristan the Boss

One of the greatest fighters! and just like Ser Arthur Dayne – went down like a boss…

I can't even begin to imagine what Barristan the bold must have been like in his prime.

everything about this fight is dog shit. hey everyone we're gonna patrol close quarter alleyways, lets use spears cause we're dumb. barristan was killed because he didnt bring high enough ratings. fuckin trash

"Even now I could cut through the five of you like carving a cake"- Ser Barristan at The Red Keep. He went out and took 13 guys with him. A true badass

The unsullied could have just formed a shieldwall across the hallway. Fighting in a formation like they are trained to do they would have made short work of these knife-wielding sons.

The old master cut off thr Unsullieds nipple and he didnt react at all . Grey Worm moaned like a bitch.

The bgm in 4:17?
Whats it?

Y'know Grey Worm may not technically have them anymore but he's got some big swinging balls.

You asked who cried? I had teary eyes on such honour and courage. Omg, those moves from Ser Barristan Selmy…, and that music…, damn…, he was going out with full GLORY here, Jesus. And btw I think Grey Worm is so underrated in GoT world considering warrior skills, no one ever mentions him in top 10 videos, but he is great one, both honorable and skillful, but I have to repeat this about Ser Barristan… omg how he went on them, he was killing them one by one like a Mozart of Sword fights :D. RIP Ser Barristan Selmy

Dumbest scene in the series so far. Barristan Selmy is a legend that other legends like Ser Arthur Dayne speak in awe of. His physical skills have not diminished much. There is no way 10 harpies armed only with daggers would have taken out Selmy, especially since he was coming from the entrance and had them all in front of him and he wasn't surrounded. He was also wearing leather armor and probably thick gambeson underneath, which would require insane amount of stabbing force with a dagger to penetrate. Unless they all aimed for his head and eyes, which they didn't, the harpies would have all been wiped out. And contrary to popular opinion, in a wide corridor with your back defended and 5 guys with daggers all in front, your longsword would make mince meat of all of them. They'd be completely defenseless. The harpies couldn't enter your range without dying and they couldn't escape to the sides without bumping into another harpy. And if they tried to retreat, the longsword's reach would easily spear them. Try an experiement and put 3 guys with flashlights representing daggers in a corridor and 1 person with a broken broom handle at the other end and have them attack the one with a broom without getting touched. Impossible.

It still pisses me off that we lost Ser Barristan, but at least he went out like a fucking boss.

Make it barristan selmy in his prime, and just for the fun throw in ser arthur dayne with his two swords

The Sons of the Harpy are like fucking cocroaches, they never go away, there are so many of them, that come out of nowhere also, who magicaly are more skilled than the Unsuillied. I hate them. Drogan destroys them…… Ser Barristion is a badass seeing him die is so sad..

Ser Barristan wentcoutclike he would have wanted, fighting and as a knight.

Ser Barristan Selmy lived like a boss and he died like a boss and he took many with him along the way

4:30

Died with targaryen music ugh goosebumps. He was a true friend to the Targaryens.

one of the best swordsman and honorable knights who ever lived butchered by civilians with daggers…

For whom the bell tolls. R.I.P. Ser barristan.

At least he died the way he wanted, as a knight. We will always know him as Ser Barristan the Bold one of the greatest fighters of Westeros.

Why did they kill Barristan!! He is a major character in ADWD and will have a bigger role in TWOW against the White Walkers! He is one of the few good guys of this world!!
Why!!

this pisses me off so much because this made the unsullied look like idiots they fight as a unit…. and here they are getting destroyed by masked commoners with knives. Also Barristan would not go down like this he dies like a bitch… this man though old is still one of the most feared fighters in the series. what a fucking joke.

Fucking laughable how bad of writing took place here

Wish they would've kept barristan alive and let us see more of his skill as a fighter.
