To go from Thorfinn looking at his people running away as cowards to respecting their decision is beautiful to witness. Thorfinn has grown into a man Thors would be proud of.

Easily the most beautiful episode of Vinland Saga and maybe anime period for me. Thors would be so proud. See my full uncut live reaction to the episode over on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/BrandonReviews
I like that even after all this time has passed, Thorfinn and Canute can have a friendly chat. Sure some weren't happy that the fighting was over, but I'd say this was for the best for both sides.
There's truly nothing like Vinland Saga. One of the most beautiful stories I've had the pleasure of experiencing, in two amazing versions no less. Thorfinn's development is one of the all time best. Canute said it best – Thorfinn is a beautiful man.
I like the change to the part where they leave the farm. In the manga thorfinns face is comically swollen and he goes from super stoic to suddenly nonchalant about saving the farm. Here it all felt cohesive with his character. I love love LOVED the added bit where he slept on last night in the barn. Im sure he was offered a real bed off screen but he opted to sleep in the hay one last time
Dont know if you've ever read kingdom but this episode reminded of El Sai alot. People have the capacity for immense violence but that doesn't mean you should give up on peace. There have to be those who believe in a better future and the best of humanity for the hope of a better future to exist in the first place.
SUCH A WONDERFUL ep i wish world watch this anime one day
I was curious if would be where the season would end or not, depending how they handle the return home episode as a tying of ribbon moment or a start of season 3 since it does launch into it.
This is the most beautiful and best episode o ever watched. Best of Thorfinn. And the Best of Canute. I now carve it into my soul. I Love Vinland Saga.
I now understand and love the changes the anime made. In the manga Thorfinn basicly jumps of the ship, 'I forgot something' and runs off to talk to Canute, Einar in pursuit. Here we get this short exchange with Leif to truly prove to him, that this Thorfinn is a changed man: "Our ancestor's ran away? That's not lame, I'm so proud of them!" it also foreshadows nicely Thorfinn's own decision to 'keep running away' from Canute, war and slavery's grasp.
(still sad we lost one of Einar's coldest lines: "Forgotten? There is nothing here left for us to forget!")
Furthermore the manga had multiple times before, when Einar and Thorfinn called each other brother, and I was panicking every time they didn't because I was afraid the anime would omit this beautiful evolution of their relationship – but in the end it made it a lot more valueable when they finally did it.
Next episode is gonna be a mix of laughing and feeling sad that this amazing season is over. I hope so much that we will get a preview for S3 like at the end of S1. 😆
Me Playing Around with a Time Machine –
:: Randomly warps to Ketil's farm in the year 1018 ::
Einar – "Let's create a country without slavery or war"
Me – "Oof. About that…"
After this episode both Thorfins and Canutes shoulds are a lot less heavy
this is GREATNESS
i hated season 2 until i watch today's episode (23), this was such a crazy shift of tone for me, i fell in love with the episode
Gotta love how I can’t watch the episode because of Netflix password sharing ugh…
Yeah it's one of the most wholesome episodes I've seen in anime, the only episode i can't get out of my head is episode 9 , it was pretty insane!
Ketil earns everyone's respect by lying that he was a great warrior🤺
And his son earned everyone's respect by lying that he was the one who persuaded the king to withdraw 🏳
i LOVE the next arc watching this episode made me want to reread it again and its going to suck waiting for it to be animated next season but we all know its 1000% worth it
Masterpiece
It was a great episode. It was inspirational!
From Ignorance to Wisdom has been a beautiful Journey.
Canute's laugh and change after Thorfinn said he would walk away reminds me so much of Gilgamesh's story where he was this brutal tyrant but after his journey for immortality where the snake eats the herb and instead of being mad he laughs uncontrollably and then returns to Uruk and became a much more benevolent ruler. It felt so similar here just instead of a snake and an herb we had Thorfinn and his conversation with Canute 😂 Fate fans will know all about the Gilgamesh reference.
This episode cemented Vinland saga in my top 3 favourite anime/manga series off all time. And there is so much left to go. I am speechless at the beauty I witnessed. Thorfinn is my favourite protagonist off all time other maybe Luffy. I still need to read Berserk. I need to get on that.
I’m not ashamed to say this episode got me emotional and it’s not the first one. What a great story and a fantastic adaptation.
As 'unrealistic' on paper, Thorfinn talking Canute out of seizing the farm was, it was executed in a way that didn't feel forced or an asspull at all. Great episode.
Thorgill showing up at the empty beach strapped up, was funny as hell though.
I was so ready to grab my bag and join them, but then I realized there's nowhere left to run 🙁
Thorfinn's talknojutsu is certainly on another level from every other protagonist that has done it, because he had to do it from a position of absolute weakness in terms of strength; and he did it so well that not only did he stop the attack on his farm, but all farms, and on the entire country.
I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THIS SEASON IS BETTER THAN SEASON 1
Of only world leaders watch vinland saga the world will be a better place not just to those who has power but for the people that has nothing.
man… I feel Thorfinn and Einar going to vinland looks like an epic adventure and then that feel is gone when Eivor going to vinland…
there will never be a line in anime that goes as hard as "come with me, brother. Let's build a land of peace in Vinland."
I love both season but season 2 is master piece, love the way of Thorfin. Run away is the only option to avoid war and live peacefully.
Where can I find the poem at the ending of this episode?
I'll be honest, Season 2 for me was a bit of a snooze fest compared to Season 1 but I stayed watching because I know it is a build up of something great. And it payed of, it payed of…That episode was a master piece.
Thorfinn has become like Jesus Christ and its nice to see.
This episode was so masterfully done. I love it. I'm a manga reader (read 200 chapters) and i can say that Mappa took some creative liberties into really carving the story that fits into a cinematic experience.
For example, they removed the part in the manga that shows thorfinn's face all swolen up. It was hilarious to see him talking to Olmar and Snake like that. Maybe they did that because that comedic scene wouldn't fit the dramatic tone of the episode. They also added that scene of thorfinn walking up the mountain. Pater's monlogue was also never part of the manga (but i like it). They also removed some lines in the manga which reveals Ketil missing Arnheid, and the guests complain why they had to work from now on. Thorgil's departure was also not explained. In the manga it was said he left the farm and was never seen again. Over-all despite all these changes and additional scenes, I love the episode. Truely peakland saga.
I can't quite goute the exact scene but when Thorfin says he wants to create a world for people to live to find peace rather than in death got me a little choked up with how powerful that was, This was one of the most beautiful episodes in anime I've ever watched and listened to the production of the music was beautiful it made me shed some tears and I know next week's final episode is gonna break me the reunion and Thorfinns path of redemption from Revenge crazed to wanting to create a safe haven of peace.
The Baltic sea war will be amazing
I 100% agree! The most beautiful is an appropriate statement! It moved me!
Not just in Vinland Saga. Definitely of all anime. Just beautiful. Light. Heaven-like. I’m putting emphasis when Einar and Thorfinn promised each other of that beautiful world while Einar is on Arnheid’s grave. The strength in their eyes at that moment felt very real. I got tons of goosebumps from this episode. Pure bliss
Powerful episode! Healing from trauma and tragedy propels us to our true selves and purpose. That healed awakened version of self can impact the world around you beyond imagination.
Love to see it fleshed out in Vinland Saga and I’m even inspired by Thorfinn to continue redefining who I am and walking in my purpose. We all have a true warrior path within us waiting to come alive so that we can evolve and reach a higher level of humanity. Soundtrack was so beautifully done to match the feels of this episode.
Gonna save my thoughts for next week but damn this was an amazing penultimate episode for the second season. It’s character arcs like Thorfinn that I love seeing as it paints a more tangible picture of what it means to truly change as a person.
22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
Thorfinn's arc was legitimately better than anything in season one. My only gripe with this season was Gardar. I really don't understand what the point of his inclusion was.
I enjoyed seeing everyone working on the farm together and not just the slaves doing everything
This episode was beautiful man…and the preview for the next made me emotional
just decided to give this another chance. I prejudged and didnt like the first few episodes, or where i thought the story was heading. Boy was i wrong. its getting so good. Almost better than Season 1. Planning on binging the rest.
I cried and it’s really hard to make me cry in a show
It was such a beautiful episode that had me in tears. Great review man!
I swear if Vinland Saga doesn't get nominated for best OST of the year
Thorfinn season 1: A Wild Mighty Strong Warrior Lion
Thorfinn season 2: A Whimpering Pacifist Mouse
Everyone has their opinions, personally- I didn't like season 2. They took an Awesome Viking anime about Warriors & Honor & turned it into sniveling farm slaves that turn into basically Pacifist monks…. boring & lame. Nobody likes a weak coward main character..
