| Thats the thing about life.. Some find burning the world and being in war as a means of fun.. Human nature and desire vary's among men. Which is why we can't coexist not now.. not ever. The idealist is simply just a dreamer. |
 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. |
| And here comes Thorkell and the even more exaggerated battles. 2/5 As "bad" as the original chapters. |
| The big guy was cool. |
 |
| Thorkell really is one madman, switching sides because the enemies seemed to weak. Good to see at the end that Thorfinn doesn't find any joy in battle and he only does this for revenge... |
 |
| This one's going to be one heck of a battle for Thorfinn look at Thorkell's massive form Thorfinn would have killed Thorkell but he was outclassed, Damn he suffered a lot back there Thorfinn needs to step up his game if he wants to defeat this guy a big effort at least. |
  |
| The big guy vs Thorfinn was a change of pace you cant win them all |
 |
| Thorkell is a fine lad, hope he kills Thorfinn and Askeladd. Though I know it won't happen anyway. |
| Thorkell the tall? I feel that's a little understatement for how giant of a man this beast is! DAMN!!! I can sense it when Thorfinn thought that 1 solid punch from this monster can kill him. His punches must've felt like a fucking truck. For such a man to side with the losing side, it really evens out the odds. The madman is a one-man army FFS. His brute strength alone and seemingly immense pain tolerance is way too much for Thorfinn to handle. Nevertheless, their fight was fantastic, so is the animation during it. Now... If only Thorfinn knew that Thorkell used to be his father's comrade... |
  |
| The big guy Thorkell was entertaining to watch, love his fight style despite it being kinda barbaric, very good episode overall |
| what great animation, and thorkell is one mad guy lol. i feel the story little bit directionless though. |
| If I've kept up with character relations correctly Thorkell is Thorfinn's great-uncle from his mother's side. Kinda wish that had been revealed, but at least the big guy seems to have realized it (or strongly suspects). Looking forward to the next time these two meet. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| Thorkell was badass as well. Seems like Thorfinn is still weak when it comes to stronger opponents like Thorkell. He barely managed to flee from there. He's questioning himself at this point. |
 |
| That was one heck of a battle between Thorkell and Thorfinn. He looks a lot like Askeladd though so I wonder if they're related by any chnace. |
 |
| Thorfinn sure is a tough kid. |
| The Thorfinn vs Thorkell fight here has the best animation and direction for a fight I would say in this series so far by a long shot. Arifumi Imai definitely worked his magic here, the whole fight was really quick and exaggerated (fittingly given Thorkell's whole presence, character and nature of strength) yet extremely dynamic and free-flowing, nothing sticking out oddly and making every frame and movement count in that very short sequence. Rest of the episode was fine, Thorfinn's character felt somewhat stagnant here but at least he lived to fight another day and found another monster he couldn't defeat yet. He's bound to develop in spades later on but for the time being, he did feel somewhat redundant in this episode. Thorkell definitely is a personality to say the least, not my favorite character of all time by any means but he did bring a freshness here that most Vinland Saga characters have really lacked besides Askeladd so far. Man just wants to fight strong people and have fun, it's goofy but it's nice to see a 2nd person in this series have an ounce of charisma to them. |
| Thorkell is a fucking savage beast, goddamn. He didn't give a fuck about his fingers being cut off. He doesn't care about winning or losing he just wants a good fight lmao I love this guy. Thorkell did not disappoint. |
 |
| Thorkell is an absolute beast. I bet Thorfinn's gonna defeat him and claim his head. |
| God the writing for Thorfinn, and Akseladd is getting worse. I don't understand the chemistry between them. I really don't care about his ambition ever since. |

| Much fight. guy is some sort of madman i guess. okay episode. |
 |
| A tower of a man that joins the enemy side just for the thrill of it whose pain receptors are busted. Thorkell is a Norse urban legend that happens to true. |
| A lot of history here. Thorkal the tall. He just enjoys killing. Powerful people will be watching this battle. his only desire is to defeat his enemy with honor. his head doesn’t come cheap. The king of England has left the island. The current carries you in the wrong direction. He is not interested in money. He is interested in an interesting fight. Isn’t it boring fighting battles you always win. It will be 100 years before he takes London bridge! They retreat in the middle of his battle. He takes two fingers. He lives today. Eyes on their axes. A challenge is good medicine for him. They wonder if they won. He locates his shoulder. He marches through the pain. 4 |
Reply to Artromex
I really liked this episode. From the sick fight between Thorfinn and Thorkell to all the "behind the scenes" plans of the king. Really shows how insignificant Thorfinn is in this whole thing, but he will still do whatever it takes to get revenge for his father
| @Artromex Exactly. Poor Thorfinn got beaten up badly and even injured. "What's so enjoyable about going into battle?" - Thorfinn I also still don't get the chemistry between Thorfinn and Askeladd, though I do understand the motive being revenge. It will indeed be interesting what the next plan of action will be. Also, Thorkell was quite the enemy for Thorfinn. Guy lost his 2 fingers, is losing blood from the injury he sustained, and still wasn't satisfied with his fight. |
