| Yeah, I expected this episode to be well-received, but tbh I really was not impressed. Pacifist slants like this become really tedious once you've seen enough anime; there's never any subtlety in the message so they all end up being the same. Even if the message is correct, simply repeating it doesn't make the show any more interesting. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| That punch was more than justified, but I guess that violence brought him back to a terrible place. Looks like Thorfinn will be reborn again though I doubt his pacifist attitude will last long.. |
| “You don’t have any enemies” “Nobody has enemies” Thor comebacks and spit some wisdom. Askeladd, is back after such a long time to help Thorfinn. “A true warrior” once again Thorfinn needs to discover this. “I’m going to be reborn” and then we see Thor, they really know how to make people cry ;( Pater, thank you for finding evidence. |
 |
| The resolution of the whole issue was underwhelming not gonna lie |
 |
| Jesus that scene with Askeladd and Thors was just unreal, I can’t remember the last time I was touched by an anime like this |
 |
| Taking a trip into Thorfinn's state of mind, seeing him come out hopefully a better man! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I want him to be a warrior though! What good will it do if he doesn't hurt anyone? Thorffin and Einar would end up dying! Perhaps he will not hurt any innocent lives but at least fight against people who do them wrong. This episode had me in tears. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| That was a cool metaphorical dream. I wish I'd had vivid dreams like that. Askeladd is such a badass, even if he's just a ghost. I miss him and his ruthless schemes. I wish a hellish place like that really existed. An endless battle between beings that can never truly die. I want to go there someday if I am given a chance! Ketil is such a fair person, with Pater as his advisor. It's gonna be a real challenge for Thorfinn since assholes are aplenty in that era. I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of those retainers. Trouble is always brewing on the horizon. I like the OST that was playing in the end. |
| Cool introspective episode, best one so far. |
| Most of the episode was Thorfinn hallucinating and then we the matter got resolved quietly. Meh... |
| this episode was brutal dude!!!! but i feel like it encompasses everything vinland saga is trying to be. what a beautifully well written piece of work, my lord |
 |
| Truly great, a powerful episode |
| I swear this episode felt like it's only 5 minutes long! After getting knocked out, Thorfinn had the chance to meet with Askeladd and also his father. Even after death, Thorfinn still looks up to Askeladd for guidance. Thanks to becoming empty he has been freed from the shackle that bound him to a realm of eternal slaughter. Though he has broken free, he still has to bear the weight of his sins to those whom he has murdered in the past. THAT is his battle. The light at the end of the abyss is his redemption, his salvation. The place where true warriors rest is not here Throfinn, keep climbing up! This is the point where Throfinn finally made his resolve, the conviction to no longer deal with violence anymore. Such a powerful statement from someone who was the epitome of violence itself. He has been reborn... |
