| Bruh that was so good. Thorfinn's character arc is so incredible. His sort of speech to Einar about never harming another person again is quite something. I'm hopeful that Thorfinn will stay true to his claims, but I am concerned with this being Vinland Saga that something will force his hand. But I suppose it could be in defense, like how Thors defended his son on that boat using his bare hands. |
| This is illegal! They have no right to elevate the source material this much! Outstanding episode! The episode flew by and it was so beautiful even during its depiction of hell. Finally, Thorfinn's "battle" of becoming a "true warrior" is starting. He cannot escape from his sins but it's time though to atone for all those souls he took away and reborn anew. And his way of achieving that is becoming a pacifist and resorting to violence only as a "last resort" something that he would also do everything to avoid any cost. |
 |
| This episode takes a breath away. It went in a moment. Thorfinn's character development is so strong. |

| oh yeh boii time to become a pacifist~ |
 |
| I wish that berserk & vagabond would have a great adaptation like this |
| Ayo Askeladd back to teach Thorfinn 💀 |
| Askeladd still giving him a hand even in the "afterlife". Oh man, it seems like this is the first big step in Thorfin's character to become a true warrior. |

| What a wonderful episode and a rewarding ending |
| nothing but excellence. |

| Yuuto Uemura absolutely blew me away with his VA work. Hearing him cry as Thorfinn was genuinely heartbreaking. Last 3 episodes have been 10/10s in nearly every way possble. |
 |
| Finally a half decent episode 9 episodes in! Though now Im concerned about Thorfinn beeing a pacifist wimp for the rest of the story. Pacifism does not work. It never has. Some people are your enemies. Thats just how it is. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Awesome episode. We finally came back to Thors lesson: "A true warrior doesn't need a sword". Each episodes are so well done they seem to end in a few seconds. I just wish there would less whining about the lack of action. "Hurr Durr my dopamine fed bird brain cannot enjoy the story if I am not instantly satisfied with violence." |
 |
| ASKELADD!!!!! Quality visuals and character through and through. The addition of Einar to the scene where Thors confronts Thorfinn in the nightmare is interesting. With Thorfinn not remembering when and where he killed is victims, it's almost as if he's using Einar's face to fill in for the forgotten ones since Einar's the civilian farmer from England he knows the most in the present day. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Even in death Askeladd continues to guide our boy. A new chapter begins for Thorfinn. |
| Amazing Farmland Saga episode. How excited I was to see Askeladd again and what can I say, he's still that guy 🐐 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This was one of the best episodes in a seinen series that I've seen.....The best show this season and year 100% for me!! |
 |
| Eh this episode was fine imo. Thorfinn's "dream world" doesn't really interest me |
 |
| It's nice to have a theme of atonement in animes. This episode alone shows how much Thorfinn has grown throughout the years, especially his mindset. It's super realistic and definitely good character development! Also loved the animation of his dream, very well done. |
 |
| I'm going to start bulk reading the manga now, I'm out of patience with this. The dream sequence was nice, seeing askaladd and thors was fun. But even with all that and Thorfinn suddenly becoming a pacificst. Did the plot move foreward AT ALL?? I'm not sure that it did. Thats the main problem ive been having with S2 of Vinland here. The absolute glacial pace of things. I'm sure the adapated material is good according to manga readers, but I feel like there's a total lack of conflict and/or urgency. I really like to have my works of fiction have a sense of purpose, (probably why I don't have a particular fondness for SoL genre) and this season has really lacked it beyond the general goal of them farming enough to win their freedom? Even that premise alone seems to show how damn slow the plot will be moving forward. I'm not sure I like the turn of Throfinn becoming a complete pacificst. I was hoping hed find some sort of reasoning/goal and have his violence towards others just focused on that instead of just blind revenge for Askladd killing Thors. Maybe we'll still get elements of that but I truely don't want to watch him become a pushover limp noodle that lets the ACTUAL vikings warriors walk all over him. Probably the most iconic thing about season 1 was how bad ass the teenage Throfin was. Maybe shallow in character and purpose until the end but at the very least you can admit its a lot more fun to watch. |
 |
| My goodness, one of the best episodes I've seen so far. Absolutely peak fiction. |
| that was veeeeeeeeery good,i knew they will spent more budget on this episode. |
| this was so unbelievably well done, askelaad teaching thorfinn and him reconciling his past, just absolutely beautiful. i don't like the whole "i won't hurt anyone anymore" because then how can you protect anyone or yourself? just maybe lay off the wanton violence? it's a nice sentiment but not really practical. |
 |
JC612 said: then i suggest to just drop it,no need to watch more really. this show is not called viking saga but vinland saga is not without reason. boring from 1-9, also i can guarantee that episode 10 will also be boring and waste of time. also |
| This episode is truly what Vinland Saga is all about. The regrets and trauma one can get from being in war are very strongly depicted here. Also, it is nice seeing Thorfinn moving on from violence and vowing to never hurt someone again. |
