| What a cliffhanger,although this episode was okay. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| I could watch Thorfinn and Einar do farmer stuff forever. |
| I wonder is anybody going to help them or will them fight them back by themselves, and also quite surprised that the first punch is actually Thorfinn. |
 |
| Wow, what an intense, soulful episode. That dream sequence in the beginning was one of the best ones I've seen. |
   |
| This was a wholesome episode. I was expecting Einar to be the first to hit the head of retainers but it was Thorfinn who brought the first blow. Then, Thorfinn was reminded by his dad's lesson in the first part of the first season but it seems yet unclear to him. Perhaps the lesson will be clear to Thorfinn by the end of this season but I even doubt that because of the slow pace we are having. But it is mayhem now and perhaps because of that the pace's going to speed up a bit. |
| Ugh fucking retainers. We have a bit of a cliffhanger ending as well might fight here. I'm concerned for what might happen to our boys for this. Thorfinn's ptsd is real bad. He went full warrior mode when he punched that dudes lights out without even realizing what he was doing. |
| This is a seinen, it's meant for adults, children that need constant action can watch another show, it's not for you |
 |
He's not being dumb, he was just depressed af and now he's waking up and seeing something outside of revenge for a change. |
| Excellent episode, so far this 8 episodes had been kinda psychological in the good way unlike NHK!, NGE, SnL. I felt that animation this episode was above the usual, Idk if that is true, anyways the plot is starting to move and that's nice, there is only 1 thing that bugs me, Einar and Thorfinn were skinny at the start of the season but now they look healthier and with more muscle mass when they do hard work with little amount of nutrition, that's totally impossible because with that little amount of nutrition they couldnt possibly gain weight, no matter how psychologically better they feel with themselves but let's not make a big deal of it like those pseudointellectuals CSM haters, 8.4/10. |
| Finding the purpose in life along the way without knowing what will come, aren't we all like that? |
| Damn that was hard, poor Einar and Thorfinn harvesting this wheat for so long just to be destroyed, it makes sense that Einar wanted to punch them but didn't expect Thorfinn to do it for him |
 |
| Thorfinn feels guilty and shit and thats fine. But he needs to stop beating himself up about it. He is too much of a virgin watch but he needs to wake the fuck up and be a bit selfish. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Finally some action, this season is a slogfest. Other anime manage to convey the same "MC did an oopsie and is depressed" thing in 1 or 2 episodes. And the quoting started again, teens thinking every sentence from vinland saga is some life changing revelation. Thats what annoyed me about S1 already.. PS: I wonder what Thors would have done in this situation. |

PS: I wonder what Thors would have done in this situation. thors already showed you what he would do based on his philosophy in season 1 unless you weren't paying attention. Other anime conveying the same depressed style is because it's shit writing with no convoluted plot line to start it off. This is a start for thorfinn and not a prologue Usually describing a story as "convoluted" bears a negative connotation. No Thors did not. He punched a bunch of guys and died. Showing his pacifist ideology is heavily flawed if you arent the one in the position of strength. |

It doesn't mean content is mature - Umaru-chan is also from seinen magazine. |

| Another dream where Thorfinn is getting haunted by his past. All the dead people who're trying to pull him down into a black abyss is such a great symbolism for him yet not being able to move forward and the emptiness which poses multiple questions like "What should he do with his life?", "Can someone like him change?". I feel like a broken record, but I'm so glad that Einhar came into Thorfinn's life. With each passing day, Thorfinn opens up more towards him. Otherwise he would've never told about all what happened with Askeladd. The old master also found the right words, which should definitely give Thorfinn more hope for his future. Fuck the retainers. Even if it was foreseeable telling by their reaction at the very beginning, it's still worst seeing how Thorfinn's and Einhar's hard work gets shattered into nothing. Informing Pater about the whole situation was definitely smart since at some point he was a slave himself and therefor knows only too well about how both of them must feel right now. I was kinda waiting for the confrontation between the retainers and our boys. Since Einhar was about to strike out, I absolutely didn't see Thorfinn's punch coming, but man what a great satisfaction I felt. Unfortunately Thorfinn again had a vision. This time the old lady from season one was to see and his father was also trying to tell him something important. There's still a deep conflict inside of Thorfinn and that's why he's still falling into an seemingly never ending black pit. I wonder in what way this will get resolved. Slaves attacking retainers tells it's own tale, so ultimately it comes down to which statement the master trusts more. |

| oh my god! another excellent episode! that punch of Thorfinn was so satisfying! the farmhands should better watch-out for Thorfinn cuz he's on a different league compared to them...even for a soldier...haha face his wrath but i think Thorfinn should deal with his mental stability first! he is still empty and need to be awakened by something! something reasonable!! 5/5. |

| That was an extremely satisfying punch from Thorfinn and it reminds me of the punch in G-Witch last season. If we can continue this trend and have a show every new season where someone gets laid the fuck out that'd be great. |
 |
| 8 episodes in and we have already had 2 really god damn satisfying punches. How many more will there be? |
 |
| Damn. Thorfinn is feeling lost right now. After Askeladd's death, he lost his hatred for him. Making him an empty husk. Not only is he lost but he has been getting nightmares. Poor Thorfinn. At least he got his buddy Einar to look out for him. It's nice to see Sverkel take them out to go fishing at the beach in a beautiful sunset. This old man has really been eaves dropping on Thorfinn. He commented that it is better to be empty in order to be reborn. The reason he took Thorfinn out to fish was to teach him a lesson and to work at filling the void inside. Like using the fish net to capture the fish is symbolic of fitting something inside the emptiness. The climax of the episode shows a harsh reality check of being a slave farmer. |

ogking31 said: uhh.. what are you talking about? I never said they died. In fact it was stated nobody died. I guess you havent watched the show after all, lol.Comander-07 said: It was never stated the guys he punched died. so again you have no clue what you're talking about, even pacificism literally works in today's society unless you're not aware of that. shounentard is not accepting or understanding different people will have different opinions, and will enjoy different kinds of media. Im just pushing back against the people here who blame OP for "enjoying the anime in a wrong way" Usually describing a story as "convoluted" bears a negative connotation. No Thors did not. He punched a bunch of guys and died. Showing his pacifist ideology is heavily flawed if you arent the one in the position of strength. If the message from season 1 couldn't tell you as awhole on what they're sending a message to then you failed to see it as a viewer. And no, pacifism very certainly does not work today, have you lived under a rock the past year? There is literally another war in europe. Anyway Im out, have fun living in your alternative reality. |

every episode i think "lets go finally a wholesome episode-" this episode almost made me tear up , i dont know if its because im already attached to the character , or because the show really is good at making viewers get attatched to them |
| Thorfinn has lost his warrior spirit.Even that is not correct.That calmness is also not good. |
 |
| So good, so intense. Sis what an amazing episode |
| ver epic man, thorfin's punch was so satisfying~ i hope he beats em up haha |
 |
| Nooo not the WHEATT!!! fck them all. |
