Wagshell Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The unsullied seemed all but wiped out at Winterfell They were right there in front swamped by the wave of undead that we saw initially wash over them and then just keep coming. Their numbers should have been reduced to just a couple of hundred, realistically. They weren't still out there in huge numbers when Dany and Jorah were outside the wall and there weren't many inside. Very few Dothraki came back from the charge too. Many unsullied would have been lost when their fleet was sunk and there was no way they managed to swim ashore with all of their helmets, shields and spears. Yet their numbers seem to grow with every time we've seen them since. Culminating in a big display of strength in front of the keep. There seemed to be thousands, each fully equipped with helmet, shield and spear. And the Dothraki seemed surprisingly well repreasented too. Where are all of the spare unsullied coming from? Are they cloning them? Did each unsullied come with a whole extra kit they left ready at Dragonstone? Or am I the only one confused by their resurgent numbers?

Moseh Khayim Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Military size has always been an issue. But yeah, it didn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagshell Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm guessing that the answer is that it just looked good to have a military display like that, reaffirming Dany's rule of fear, so that's what they had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawaburger Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I have assumed since the beginning of the season that Dany left a bunch of her army at Dragonstone when she went north to fend off the White Walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMario Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yeah, apparently they can replicate as easily as the ships they use to take them back to wherever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Spanish_Inquisition Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I guess since they can’t reproduce sexually, evolution has stepped in and they can now duplicate themselves via mitosis. That seems to be what the show would like us to assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point. There's no way in hell she could have left Dragonstone without a strong garrison. And that explains well why she only lost half of her troops. Perhaps she lost 75% of the people at winterfell but had a fair number in reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyser1 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The Dothraki and Unsullied can clone (with rapid age advancement and skill development) it is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
