Time To For War ! Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 19 Reaction

British longbowmen at that time were known for their impressive Archery. That's how they were able to aim at the shores so well.

Snake putting himself on the line for a massacre, but I can respect it. I can also see why Snake fought so hard for his home boys against Gardar too.

There was no iron fist ketil amongst the farm, ketil’s father was never a warrior either.

It was kinda vague/oddly stated but the original iron fist was some from other land most likely not even in the same country.

For those who are interested in reading along with the manga, this episode adapted the remainder of chapter 89 and all of chapters 90 and 91.

The besides the standard shortening and trimming of dialogue, the most significant changes the anime made in adapting the manga was cutting some striking moments of dialogue from Einar and Arnheid’s passing into the afterlife scenes.

Einar’s cut dialogue was largely him forsaking and cursing Ketil (calling him a “son of bitch” that he and Thorfinn don’t belong to anymore) and expressing regret over the old master Sverkel having to share in the Ketil family’s punishment from King Canute.

Arnheid’s dying scenes were changed from the manga in a more additive sense. In the original manga Arnheid and her deceased family are traveling in a wagon through a generic peaceful countryside environment, which the anime has changed to a dark and gloomy forest, most likely symbolizing the living/real world that Arnheid is soon to depart from. Along with this change in environment, the anime also added some additional lines to Arnheid, where she comments on how lives still try to survive in the dark gloomy forest (i.e. the real/living world). The anime also added the visuals of Arnheid gazing at a stag and wolf still living in the forest as she says those aforementioned lines, the animals almost certainly being meant to represent Einar and Thorfinn, who must and are still trying to survive in the real world.

While it was a shame that some of Einar’s more visceral lines from the manga got cut, I really did love the anime’s additions to Arnheid’s passing over to the after-life scenes.

Ketil dad is called Sverkel, the person who Snake meet was not him, it was literally other Ketil who look alike the Ketil we know

Thorgil really out here like Jason!

i respect Olmar in these episodes. he straight up admits he cant be a warrior like his brother. also respect to the reactors here. I think yall the only reactors I've seen so far that saw the deer and wolf represent Thorfinn and Einar.

19:34 Thorgil looks like a whole menace right here

9:03 outlawry means that someone is not protected by the law anymore. They lose all their rights, you can steal from them and even murder them without consequences.

And I don't think that Gramps is the real Iron Fist Ketil… remember his backstory, where he gave his son's girlfriend away to avoid a fight?
(I also believe that's why Ketil is traumatically afraid of loss, and obsessed with Arnheid, who seems to resemble her)

Spot on on Snakes' men, extremely respectable that they'll follow Snake into a battle they know they can't win out of loyalty!

16:56 and damn, Nasty knew on sight 😅 took me a while to figure that one out

W

Progress takes sacrifice the civil war ended slavery WW2 destroyed nazism. Canute wants to end this violent slaver society its going to take sacrifice

I hate what they made Ketil turn into. The speech he gave to his "soldiers" and the way he called himself using that title were so out of his character up to this point.
It almost made me wonder if the Author is intentionally and forcibly trying to End Ketil's story on a bad note.
As much as I want Thorgil to take Canute's head, I doubt Canute's story will end here though😓.

Imagine this take in the comments:
Lee: I don't think Ketil beating up Arnheid was fine…
Comments: omg! You guys are the worst, how can you say that about good guy Ketil??? 😭😭😭

Jiji (gramps) is named Sverkel.
