So does this mean that Gawain no longer sees Beowulf as his role model to emulate? Or was he just projecting his concerns about becoming someone else and surpassing Arthur onto the legendary manly one? That's part of the reason why I hope the idols and Arabian nights stick around into the next round and beyond it doesn't feel like their stories are over yet and they each have some development to undergo in their respective arcs.
Thank you for the translation.
If Beowulf taught Gawain anything, it's that when you make a declaration you commit to it no matter what
Someone else mentioned that there's no reason Gawain can't be both cute and manly
And I completely agree
