One of the most extremely predict face - offs sports fan are hoping can be fit into the concluding two episodes ofGame of Thronesis Cleganebowl , the fan - named fight between Sandor Clegane , a.k.a . the Hound , and Gregor Clegane , a.k.a . the Mountain . And based on the most recent instalment , “ The Last of the Starks , ” we ’re pretty certain it ’s come soon .
Last time we saw the two brothers together , they were reunited at King ’s landing place after the Mountain was brought back from the beat by Qyburn . The Hound has hint that the last fight between them is out front . He severalise the Mountain , “ You know who ’s coming for you . You ’ve always known . "
During the later episode , we see the Hound riding off to King ’s landing place earlier than everyone else ; he tells Arya Stark that he has bare business in the capital . Fans ’ capitulum gain vigor up at see that , knowing the unfinished concern he speak of is more than potential Cleganebowl . But since Arya is traveling with the Hound now , could she be involved in the disastrous competitiveness between brothers?TIMEhas theorized how Arya could be a major part of the face-off .
Two factors lead this theory : The fact that the Mountain is still on Arya ’s putting to death listing , and that season 8 has been so heavily focussed on Arya ’s relationship with the Hound . TIMEargues that the Hound might sacrifice himself to protect Arya from his brother , end with the trained assassin kill the Mountain .
As we saw in episode 3 , “ The Long Night , ” the Hound has even faced blast — the one affair he venerate — to help save Arya . Though it ’s true he wants to be the one to kill the Mountain , we trust he ’d rather die than have Arya killed by his neat foeman .
The latest episode also saw the Hound jestingly asking Arya if she was going to exit him for dead again , whichTIMEbelieves is foreshadowing just that . Because Arya was the one to pop the Night King , many people believe it ’s improbable she ’ll also be the one to take down Cersei Lannister — the only other person still living on her list besides the Mountain .
We ’re sure Arya has more kill in her this season , but traveling to King ’s landing place alongside the Hound might intend she wo n’t be involved in the principal battle for the Iron Throne between Daenerys and Cersei . She has already look at out the Night King and saved the Seven Kingdoms , so now she ’s doing what ’s full for her .
