Gosh that was... just AMAZING! Such a fulfilling arc and this episode continues with that feeling. The conclusion, the usage of "brother", how it wrapped up and the preview of the next episode.... whewwww..... what a journey it has been so far.

This is so deep that I you could fell into it and stay there. Beisde the theme of human condition, this is one of the most eloquent and great manifest about non-violence. 10/10 absolute.

Wow.. I was holding back tears until the the "For Arnheid" and the scene with Pater. This episode was truly beautiful, the music and animation totally helped sell those scenes.

Damn, this was some episode!

Convincing Canute with that underhanded move, that's a genius move from Thorfinn, lol. On a serious note though, it was really lovely to see a glimpse of that old Thorfinn when he folded his arms and requested Canute to stop making more work for him. Perhaps a little convenient but I really like the idea of two leaders with their own methods covering for each other like this. As long as they keep away, I suppose that might just be a good enough peace for this lifetime.

Thorfinn and Einar's little moment there promising to create a world for people like Arnheid to continue the will to live was super touching and I got to give it to the anime crew for nailing that scene. Farm seems to have moved on from the tragedy and it's nice to see that everyone is trying to help out in whatever capacity possible. Ketil-san's definitely feeling the aftereffects of. his rash decisions from earlier. 

Next episode should be very very interesting... Is it just me or did Thorfinn's sister (I'm guessing, from the next ep preview) look mad, lmao?

I loved how Thorfinn solved the issue peacefully, but it was in part due to Canute's personality. I do wonder if he'll stay this way or will a major event will change his philosophy

At least we'll get some resolution next episode, I had hoped we'd get to see him home so I'm glad for it... but it seems like Gudrid will be years out, or whenever they continue... gonna be a painful wait since I binged the manga weeks ago and already know the plot. I'm really only in it for the performances.

Thorfinn has finally gone full pacifist route. The young lad decided to run away as far as he can from King Canute's reign of power.
Seeing this, King Canute laughed wholeheartedly out of amusement. Seeing a slave unarmed and trying to convince him not to take over the farm. King Canute has never encountered such a ridiculous negotiation before. But he acknowledged Thorfinn's ideals and decided not to take over the farm.  Thorfinn the real MVP.
Askeladd would be so proud of him right now.

Can't wait for Thorfinn to be reunited with his family back in Iceland next episode.

LOL Thorgil's expression. I'm on the same page as him. Extremely disappointed that Thorfinn's solution is "running away".
From the preview I'm looking forward to Thorfinn's reunion with his mom and sister. Gonna to for sure be an emotional scene.

Beautiful episode. Good knot to tie off the farm arc and a very real feeling conversation between two close friends, who, despite the king's manipulation, do, in the end, see eye to eye.

oh my days, two 5/5 episodes back-to-back. probably the best episode visually, the sky in every scene and the color pallets just looked great. if every episode this season looked this good, i would've given it a 9.
nearly brought tears to my eyes with the music as well bruh. lowkey sad that they're leaving, even tho they were slaves lmao. snake's real name is roald.
canute with the laugh, i wonder when we'll see him again.
i can already see chad memes of the handshake scene, but yeah goated.

last episode next week, let's see how this goes.

Even if they end the anime with this episode, it would be a good conclusion to a great story. Next episode we finally return to thorfinns homeland after so many years.
Family reunion time!

Phenomenal stuff. Can't believe Thorfinn's talk actually worked, Canute laughing was kinda unsettling at first cause I was expecting the worst. Glad that didn't happen though, Thorfinn deserves the everything after all that's happened.

You gave OPM Season 2 a 9. A terrible adaption where few well animated fights has all going for. Your opinion truly means much.

ive seen a lot of animes in many points in my life, and i have enjoyed a wide variety of genres, but come on man, i get the character development and the message in this season is deep and rich, but it was not enjoyable at all, if you liked it that much you may as well read the bible, you will love it, many thanks for stalking my MAL 😹

Some people are literally unable to give context to things and create judgements based on what a series/film/book/whatever is actually about rather than what they expected it to be and how much this fits their taste.

It's like seeing a SRPG only player criticizing a Grand Strategy game because you can't actually dictate how a battle goes. 
They seem literally unable to develop complex ideas. It's absurd to me. One thing is to say something depeding on your taste (I recognize why Mob Psycho is so well regarded, but it just doesn't fit my taste THAT much), another is being completely unable to understand something and yet talk about it as if they are some kind of critic.

Even more absurd, if you give a look at the average taste of this guy he seems to have a nuanced understanding of "weird" stories, yet he bitches about Farmland Saga.
I would bet my right ball that the guy has some STRONG political opinions and seeing a story about how violence is actually very fucking bad left a bad taste in his mouth. Which is even more absurd seeing how he clearly likes Miyazaki movies which are like 50% Antimilitarism and 50% Enviromentalism.

well i feel really sorry for your right ball but i think you shouldnt take thing for granted based on a MAL profile, i just think that are far more better (and enjoyable) ways to tell a story than Vinland Saga did in this season. I can enjoy a lot of different animes as you can see, and my political opinion probably differs by miles what you think it is. And for hindsight, my favorite manga is Berserk :)

Is it your job in any given anime thread to let people know you're a nitwit with how every one of your takes proves you're easily filtered by good shit?
Oh it's you. You always get salty at my hot takes. But this isnt a hot take. Baltic War Arc IS the worst arc in the series. Just look at the public polls and you always will see it at last place.

Words only take away from the pure spectacle of beauty this story has managed to pull off.

If you haven't witnessed it for yourself, simply do. That's all.

A masterclass of build up and pay off.

Great show, meaningful teachings and great character development; without it being too corny or pretentious. I can appreciate the seriousness in which the plot develops, unlike other animes that treat the viewer like a child giving out too much information.

Agreed, but it still has plenty of really great moments. Introduces important characters too, just more inconsistent and light hearted then the prior arcs. Overall a step down, but still a lot of fun and room for an adaptation to improve upon with quality animation/slight changes to story and dialogue.

What a great episode!!

Canute really got rejected by Thorfinn so bad that he lost sanity, anyway that was emotional AF... There's still hope in Canute seeing how he chose to leave Thorfinn at peace

Thorfinn changed him using nothing but words, not even Askeladd could do that.
 Snake screaming out his name to Thorfinn & Einar gave me goosebumps but next episode will be even better

Can't wait for the family reunion, this really felt like the last episode & I feel like 
not watching the next one since it definitely will end on a cliffhanger

Legend says Thorgil is still searching for Canute .
