Wow another amazing episode of Vinland Saga! I couldn’t hold back my tears with this one. Thorfinn finally understands what he needs to do to move forward. Face what he’s done accept it and never make those mistakes again and work hard on helping other going forward. Just beautiful. And seeing Askellad again was an amazing moment!

I went through so much this week and this episode really helped me out of a dark place
oh boy here we go
Really looked forward to this one
Great episode! Love your commentary.
No more Supernatural or Sandman though?
Great reaction🤗 I really wish too, that people watch this amazing show. I like how the other is also show the other people’s perspective in a not judging way
Incredible discussion. Such an important message
I was just wondering, r u watching the show on netflix? It seems like your subtitles that u read out loud at times is different from the one on the screen. I would highly suggest watching vinland saga on crunchyroll because it has better subtitles. The netflix subtitles are quite wrong at times and never worded properly. The crunchyroll subtitles r more manga accurate
every episode has been amazing, but this one… as you said, feels like the "word"; gospel-like quality. powerful.
There is so much to say but all i wanna say is, i love Vinland Saga and your reactions to this beautiful story. I cried when you cried and i cried when Thorfinn cried.
The fact that Askelaad didn't die by Thorfin's hands is what allowed him to become empty because he never got to justify all the anger and killing he has done.
I think if Thorfin got his revenge, he would have continued on that warrior path because it would have shown him that is the way to resolve things.
I UGLY CRIED WITH U 😢😢
THIS SEASON HAD BE BAWLING MY EYES OUT 😞 ITS SO AMAZING

8:23 I was watching this with my 17 year old nephew and I told him “This show’s philosophy is literally based on The Gospel, this is literally what Jesus Christ asked us to do… this is crazy hahahahaha” and my nephew said that so far his favorite part of the series is how he started trying to desperately pull himself out, he says it’s helping him not feel bad or pathetic about never fighting back or arguing with people. My nephew is a gentle kid, unlike me who has been in multiple street fights growing up. He has been through a lot and I’m glad he doesn’t hold any grudges towards his father and mother. He’s always been strong in his own way. He loves Thorfinn’s development, he loves that he’s trying to be a better man. I appreciate that, this is in spite of all the action of season one. I’m glad he’s appreciating the key aspects of this nice story.
Great reaction
I said this before but you're the literal reason why I enjoy watching Vinland Saga. Everytime I listen to every word you say till the end of your videos, and I started appreciating this anime more than ever through you Imon. Thorfinn waking up from his dream with his hands reaching to a new hope just like he was trying to reach Askeladd in his last moments… Thank you for always sharing your emotions your problems more also your perspective… I recently started reacting to Vinland Saga as well, I've felt exactly same as you
Easily my favorite reaction to this episode. I've watched many, as I'm a hardcore fan of the manga and have been awaiting this episode and people's reactions. But your reaction in particular, and your thoughts afterwards are the best of the bunch. As much as this manga and anime has helped me through a lot of darkness, your discussion at the end is just as helpful. Hearing someone articulate the way I've been feeling for a long time, and with so much sympathy and intelligence is a blessing. Thank you so much for this.
Literally my favorite reaction channel I spend the week waiting for another video
Still people that watch Vinland Saga do not digest the message and it's not an easy message to digest. Thorfinn said I will not hurt anyone. He didn't say he won't hurt only innocent people. He will not hurt anyone. He has no enemies. They burn his farm, he will show love. They kill his father, he will show love. He will have indiscriminate love. They rape his sister, he will not be violent. No one deserves to be hurt. That's the message. How many of you are willing to be that person?
IT IS EASY TO LOVE PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU. IT IS EASY TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE NICE TO YOU, BUT HOW EASY IS IT TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY DO?
Follow Thorfinn and Thor's journey and even Canute journey, remember Canute's awakening of what LOVE is in season 1.
Thorfinn finally realized what his father meant, and he is rewarded by not being punished for the fight. Some type of universal karma at play.
I loved reading this part in the manga. When Thorfinn is at his lowest, Askelaedd, even in death, is motivating him to seek out his true purpose. Askeladd’s influence on him is just as big as Thors. I also found it interesting how much Thorfinn resembles Askeladd looks wise, especially in the manga
Just as a small heads up if you don't have too much of a grasp of Valhalla. So Valhalla is the "warriors heaven" of norse mythology. They fight, die, are reborn and fight again in the day and then eat and drink in Odens hall at night. So the dream isn't necessarily Hell, but thorfinns view of the Valhalla. Which would be hell for thorfinn.
And yeah this may be my favorite episode of anime I've seen. This is such a good fucking show.
Emotional episode 😢
YES! YOU SAW THORS BEING HELD DOWN BY BODIES ASWELL! I wish we could have a prequel of Thors dealing with his regrets while trying to move forward in life. Something interesting that I noticed was how Askeladd was on top of a pillar. A Roman pillar funny enough. I interpreted that as Thorfinn seeing Askeladd as a warrior, yet one who was wise and smart than others. I thought to myself that Askeladd was so close to climbing out of that pit, but he's still held down by his own past and values. Either case, I broke watching this episode. The symbolism, quotes, and message was beautiful. Like you said, this is the gospel and Thors is Viking Jesus.
Masterpiece…..shame that a lot of anime fans didnt see this episode or fell off of vinland saga…..Thorfinn is already a top tier character
Peakland saga
Boggles my mind that a small percentage of people dropped Vinland Saga after S1 because there wasnt any fighting, to me the appeal was never the fighting; its always been about the powerful messages and character development and growth. I love that you not only caught Thors also being dragged and also understand how difficult it must have been to leave behind Thorfinn before he could truly teach him and prevent him from making the same mistakes. Thankfully he finally understood his fathers words.
I just watch this episode and i'm broken😭
PEAK LAND SAGA, I LOVE THAT YOU NOTICED ALL THE LITTLE THINGS
You cut your reaction up and skip too much for us free people to watch
Yeah I read the chapter that this episode is based off of in the Manga a few years back and I was also in a very dark place as well. I was dealing so much stress, anxiety, depression, and pretty severe panic attacks. I just wasn't a very stable person at that time in my life. I was dealing with my last year of High School, tons of family drama which some of it I was forced into, My Grandma dying, and I struggled dealing with my wide range of emotions at that time including anger. I was just easily mad at little things like the internet not working properly or video games and yes I even lashed my anger out at people I am close to which I deeply regret to this day. It got to the point I just really couldn't take it anyone and just didn't want to live anymore (similar to Thorfinn) I was just letting my guilt and emotions get the better of me and led me down probably my darkest year of my life. Although that year I also got back into reading which led me to read a ton of Manga. Which then I read chapter 71 of Vinland Saga and while reading it I just broke down crying halfway through. Seeing Thorfinn after all these years of bottling in his emotions and seeking out revenge on Askeladd and finally realising how many other people he hurt from his rage and anger and to see him breaking down and saying how sorry he is truly broke me and made me reflect on where I am in life right now and inspired me to become a better person or be (reborn) like Thorfinn said in the episode. I really can't explain how impactful this chapter was to me when I first saw it for the first time. I just love how this series started out as a very entertaining Viking epic about revenge, betrayal, and war, but now it's more than just that. It's about being human and how we all make mistakes and we do things we truly regret in life, but most importantly we can all change if we can all look forward instead of downward.
Now years later I am doing so much better and am just a better person in general. Now sure I am still not perfect I could do more work to fix my anxiety and panic attacks, but that's not the point… The point is I was able to face my guilt and was able to move forward to where I could become a better and more healthy person today. Now years later watching the chapter of Vinland Saga which would change me forever and seeing it animated was something magical and I will admit I did cry again, but this time for very different reasons. Back then when I read the chapter I cried because of guilt and my emotions were getting the better of me and seeing the dark place Thorfinn was in during that time in his life was heartbreaking and deeply relatable for me. Although… Now after seeing the episode I broke down crying because I am happy and I am not in the dark place like Thorfinn was in at one point in my life. I am just glad I was able to face my guilt and depression and all the other bullshit I was dealing with at one point and to move on from it and look forward to the future to see what I can do better to become a better human being is a deeply satisfying turning point in my life and I am grateful for the people that supported me through that dark time in my life.
Also for anyone reading this who are currently in a dark point in their life or are trying their hardest to overcome it. All I can say is… It will get easier. Sure there will be roadblocks or moments you feel like giving up, but trust me it will get easier as long as you keep looking forward and not downward and don't let your guilt get the best of you. Cause one day you'll overcome that dark point in your life and it will be one of the most satisfying moments in your life. I am sure of it.
Sorry for how long this comment has come to be, but I just really needed to get my thoughts out about how this chapter/episode impacted me as a person and I hope I have helped or motivated anyone who has read this to strive to become a better person and I wish the best for anyone dealing with depression or mental health at the moment. It will get easier as long as you look forward.
Nice episode love the video imon Nation stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
You are a nice person.
I knew after watching this ep, that you would really enjoy and feel the emotions of this episode. The message this episode sends is a heavy one for sure. Loved the reaction as always😁😢
Thank you. Hope you are well!
This story has what I think many modern stories are missing these days. A central and easy to discern thematic element to it. There is a clear theme and moral of the story here. Something that used to be a hallmark of all fiction but has been lacking in recent years. But it's in this story and it is very clear.

Absolutely loved hearing you analyze the episode at the end. Fantastic insights
Your ability to empathise and get into the heads of the characters is super impressive, especially when it’s with morally grey characters like Askeladd and even Bjorn. You’re easily my favourite Vinland Saga reactor, love your character analysis and breakdown of the themes.

My god what a beautiful post episode discussion. Being recently diagnosed with and starting treatment for borderline personality disorder, the episode tore me to shreds and then pieced me back together. I cried hysterically for like 15 minutes after i watched it lol and your discussion was so moving and relatable. Im so glad i found ur channel
The epiphany you talked about is exactly the philosophy of Vinland Saga going forward: like you, Thorfinn will [LIGHT SPOILER] feel the need to compensate for all the bad he's done and have the means to do so because of his self awareness.
