Why does Ragnar not flash on Yidu during his review-of-life scene?
The relationship between Ragnar and Yidu in Vikings has to be explored. It can't have existed simply to kill time, especially as its timing is so close to Ragnar's "wilderness years."
Yidu is written as if she matters, but as more than Ragnar's drug dealer. I wonder why he doesn't flash on her at the end.
Best Answer
Ragnar was infatuated with Yidu for only a short time before he became addicted to the drug she was supplying him with. After that, I don't think he had feelings for her beyond her being the source of the drugs. Given Yidu's own end, it's clear that Ragnar blamed her for his withdrawal symptoms, and probably later blames her for his greatest failure. It makes sense to me that he wouldn't flash on memories of her at the end.

Answer 2
Aslag Ragnars wife picked her from the line of slaves. I always thought she got the Chinese girl to drug Ragnar in the beginning she loved Ragnar in the end I think she hated him after he slapped her. When Ragnar told her he didn’t care that she slept with Herbert the wonderer I think that is when she really realize that Ragnar did not ever really love her he only kept her around because he wanted Sons. She was behind it. She even went to the seer and asked him if a women would ever rule katakit. She wanted Ragnar dead or at least out of the picture. Just what I always thought ????
