First fr
I’m from Saudi Arabia ❤️ big fan
Peak
Episodes like this is why Vinland Saga is peak. I remember the 1st season and that episode when Askeladd slaughters a village in the snow, the one where Canute accepts that selective love is discrimination after mourning Ragnar and the biggest of them all, Askeladd's sacrifices. These 10/10 moments are what make Vinland Saga special.
Lmao how you said Canutes name 😂😂
Snake reminds Thorfinn of Askeladd because of instinct & skill not because they’re related in some way like this isn’t some cheesy anime trope
« Canuté »
Canute is still the prince. I think in last episode they stated his older brother Harald was the new king. Not sure
That nightmare scene you just saw where thorfin is fighting those demons was actually from season 1, can't remember the episode but it's the same sequence
Pronounce it as Ca nute not ca nu tae
I think seeing Askeladd wasn't Thorfinn sensing a connection between him and Snake. It was more him sensing that killer instinct that a real warrior radiates and that caused his body to react and defend him, because deep down, he truly wants to live.
Last episode when askeladd questioned Thorfinn about what he was gonna do after his death make me realize that thorfinn never had another objective than kill askeladd, seems like he was trying to open thorffin's eyes to he can see that his life was not just this way, he was the MVP of last season fr. Now we can see the development of Thorfinn, is crazy when we realize that he had no education, my man don't even know how to say "thank you" or "I'm sorry", wild.
Big fan from Brazil, love you two ❤️
Thorfinn said: “Not a single good thing has happend to me in my entire life", what about your family? Your father for example? And now, something good happend to you, you meet someone who is gonna be the most close to become your first ever real friend that it is Einar. Isn't that something good?
They changed a couple things from the manga especially that Einar didn’t try to choke Thorfinn. I feel like the manga did that bit better
Einar is completely Danish, they just lived in England. Not every Nordic person who lived in England during that time were vikings who pillaged, some of them were just farmers.
Peak fiction.
Nah brl its not he seeing askeladd on snake, its more like thorfinn "spider sense" telling him to protect himself because he feel snake's intention to kill like a true warrior and ofc like askeladd, not just playing around like that fox guy
For those who are interested in reading along with the manga, this episode adapted the last 10 pages of chapter 59, all of chapter 60, and the last scene in the episode homaged a couple pages (but didn't directly adapt) from chapter 61. Next episode is likely adapting the entirety of chapters 61-62.
The story-boarder of this episode was Atsushi Kobayashi, who also boarded some of the more visually striking episodes from season 1 of Vinland Saga (and is apparently a relatively prolific animator/boarder).
Though what was interesting about this episode was how there was a number of additions and changes to the content this episode adapted from chapter 60 of the manga. Some of these include stuff like additional lines of dialogue during Thorfinn and Einar's conversation with Pater (the squinty-eyed ex-slave), cutting of some internal dialogue/monologues from characters and relying more on visual storytelling to convey information.
However, the most notable changes this episode had from chapter 60 of the manga was the night-time scene with Thorfinn and Einar at the end of the episode. In the manga Einar actually stops himself from trying to choke Thorfinn before he even lays a hand on Thorfinn (with Einar instead internally thinking the "it's not as though he [Thorfinn] was responsible for killing my family…" line to himself), the manga chapter also didn't give us a peek of what Thorfinn was dreaming about (so no trippy dream sequence). The scene after Einar woke Thorfinn up also differed as well, with the manga focusing on Einar realizing Thorfinn is extremely not used to being treated kindly by others (hence why Thorfinn had no response to Pater's earlier kindness and why Thorfinn asks why Einar wakes him up from his nightmares), and then Einar declaring that he and Thorfinn are friends now (the chapter ending with a small comedic moment of Thorfinn asking "what does that mean" in a nonplussed manner).
The anime's decision to instead emphasize Einar's rage more and connect his rebuke of Thorfinn's despairing pessimism back to the lesson/philosophy of Einar's mother was an interesting creative choice. I'm not sure which version I prefer personally, but based on the Twitter of Makoto Yukimura (the mangaka of Vinland Saga) it appears to be a change he is okay with.
And that was indeed Canute at the end of the episode, he's just grown out of his feminine boyish looks over the course of the last 1+ years.
For those who are curious, in this series Thorfinn was born on February 3rd 996 (while the real-life Thorfinn Karlsefni, the character is based on, is estimated to have been born circa 980-985). And it being September of 1015 during the events of this episode, means Thorfinn is well his way into his 19th year.
Thorfinn reacted because Snake was actually going to kill him, unlike fox who was obviously toying with him. The determination to kill in his eyes is what Thorfinn saw and the last time he saw it was from Askellad.
anyone know name of OST 1:55
canootay
For me Farmland Saga is one of the greatest arcs in seinen history
Canute is the prince, not the king
you prolly get this alot but you look like Fred Vanvleet
Esse episódio foi tenso, a animação e todos os detalhes estavam muito lindos.
This man said "Canutè" 🤣 😂
the best mature manga and anime ever!
Can y’all watch hunter x hunter
2:49 my mind is telling me nooo but my body my bodyyy is telling me yesssss
Pls post the last 2 ep of cote
Man the thought of thorfinn making a friend makes me wanna cry..
Einar VA us same with Reiner of AOT
I think Thorfinn felt that intent to kill in his eyes therefore the reaction.
When thorfinn said thank you Einar knew that he really meant it as he normally doesn't say much to others
