| I swear to God every episode in this season is almost perfect (very much unlike season 1). I'm glad there's a glimmer of hope for Arnheid and her husband but judging by the preview she didn't even run away with him? I'd love them both to escape and live free somewhere but I know better than expect such a happy ending from this show lol. |
| Damn Arnheid's husband escaping and killing the ones that want to stop him that's rough, I wonder how it will affect Arnheid as a whole now that they're searching for them... |
 |
| I was against with Arnhied being happy but now that they escaped i'm actually hoping they make it out. But BUT for them to be killed later on lolz. |
 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. |
| Man the situation is so complicated giving justice will be really hard. |
| after this episode Thorfinn manages to kick Kongming Zhuge outta my top 10 fav characters, surprising considering Thorfinn gave me a bad first impression during the first episodes |
 |
| this was definitely one of my favorite episodes so far, i loved the atmosphere. interested to see how arnheid and gardar end up and nice of thorfinn to want to make peace. i found it funny though how it took that guy 1 second to deduce the fact that his partner was dead, crazy good eyes. |
 |
| Amazing episode! Truly has me wonder in which direction it can go! |
The World Suffused with Sound.  |

PinkGolaith said: the pace is too slow, all we saw was a guy run away and thorfin finding a dream to pursue... and the dream was really easy for them to find "oh I just remembered" bruh. The show is not supposed to be fast paced helter skelter. It is designed to show character growth and change. |
| War & Slavery I really loved The scene where Arnheid's husband apologizes to her is a powerful moment in the episode. It shows that he is willing to admit his mistakes and take responsibility for his actions. Meanwhile, Thorfinn's debate with Einar about how to end war and slavery is also a highlight of the show. The argument that war is the real reason for slavery is a thought-provoking one. It raises the question of how much of our history has been influenced by conflict and bloodshed. Overall, I think that this episode does a great job of exploring some important themes and ideas. It's well-written and visually stunning as always. Compared to season 1, season 2 is better. |
| Decent episode, 6.5/10. |
Zukan123 said: The guard did that one nice thing for Arnheid and the Bitch haggled, (She was not even treating him) until Gardar got the chance to brutally murder him. Then as expected both fled and must pay for their crimes, but looks like ol Thorfinn going to step in next episode to virtue signal the treatment of slaves than arrest the murderers lolzzzzzz I fell asleep, hopefully snake kills gardar and arnheid next ep |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| WOW dude. Just WOW. This episode was incredible. Beautifully done. I loved hearing Thorfinn talk about Vinland!! I'm super keen for everything to come together. And for Thorfinn and Einar to eventually go on a journey. Great anime, extremely well directed. |

| I had wondered how Arnheid would get a chance to see her husband and tend to his wounds. If Snake hadn't had to make his way to the mistress and the retainer hadn't been persuaded, it would probably never have happened. The second meeting was a much more emotional one for Arnheid as much seemed to resurface from her ephemeral life with both Garad and Hjalti. Especially since Garad apologized for his big mistake and kept saying that he would like to start over with her. Still, I felt bad for the retainer who let her see Gardar only to have his throat bitten off afterwards. With an even worse situation overall, Arnheid was now faced with the choice of freeing Garad and attempting to escape, or abandoning his fate to him. Snake was visibly pissed off after having to find his dead men. Since Gardar was apparently wounded again, he and Arnheid couldn't have gotten very far, prompting a search operation to begin. I can absolutely understand that Thorfinn wants to distance himself from all the violence, wars and inhuman conditions in order to be able to do penance for his fleeting deeds. While I'm glad Thorfinn has found a new purpose, eradicating slavery and wars around the world definitely sounds like a dream. As Einar directly replied, Nords can create certain situations in which you have to defend yourself, your family and friends in order not to get killed or even end up as a slave again. So I'm not exactly sure which path Thorfinn will take. Maybe he'll make it to Vinland and live the peaceful life he's currently dreaming of. With the appearance of Snake's men, Thorfinn immediately understood that it must have something to do with Garad's escape. What might happen when Thorfinn and Einar meet Gardar and Arnheid? What decisions will Thorfinn in particular make when Snake and his men decide to take action? I can't wait for next week. |
 |
| I wonder how Thorfinn and Gardar will eventually meet. Would Einar try to ally wiht Gardar or save Arnheid from him? So many unanswered quesitons. |

iamKetranLang said: Dude doesn't know the cause of Gardar's action it seems. Gardar was a slave who was treated very badly. Now when he finally able to escape and wants to reunite with his family, Snake and his men aren't allowing him to do so. What kind of reaction are you expecting from him anyway ?

| Someone give Arnheid's VA an award, please. Hearing her cry hurts my soul. |
| Based Gardar pulling a Jack Bauer and biting that dudes neck. |
| I expected Arnheid's trip to the camp where Gardar was held would result in something drastic happening and, as Snake went out, things turned bloody and chaotic rather quickly. It's sad to see Arnheid in such emotional turmoil when she was speaking to Gardar, but as the guards became too lax and complacent, Gardar made his move to kill one of the guards by biting part of his neck completely clean off before succeeding in convincing Arnheid to free him, which resulted in the other guards at the base to be killed off. Snake's pissed off look is one that I wouldn't want to mess with, as he vows to kill Gardar if he is found. Meanwhile, Thorfinn and Einar couldn't get much sleep over the previous events involving Gardar and Arnheid, which led to Thorfinn voicing out his wish for a world without any war or slavery. During his discussion with Einar about it, it led to the conclusion that what he strives for pretty much felt like an impossible task, but I'm glad that Thorfinn remembered the story that Leif told him when he was young, about the land that he was able to sail to all those years ago. With how much he wants to do what he can do show atonement for what he's done in the past, I do commend Thorfinn with this goal in mind, regardless of how tough it'll be to see it through. Overall, this was another great episode. I do look forward to seeing what'll happen next with Gardar once again being free and on the run at the farm. |
Nishinga said: The people who worked on this episode were different from the regular people who work on Vinland anime.Is it just me or the animation in this one was supreme? And not to say that in general Vinland Saga suffers from bad animation but if it usually 8/10 this episode felt like 11/10. I have no clue what they did different in this episode but was highly impressed with the animation, one of the best I've seen. most people on this episode were from AOT s4 crew, ig that's the reason for the quality difference from the rest of the episodes . |
| Felt so bad for Arnheid this episode ;--; The morning scene was so breathtakingly beautiful! |
| Arnheid had full hope in Gardar to be able to cut that rope in front of the one's who can kill her any moment, if they noticed her do something out of the blue. |
| Great stuff with all the pack of tension, being a slave ain't an easy job to get away with it due to the war and they have to make a living out of themselves, I can see why Arnheid seems quite in a nerve state but hey, they gotta escape till home awaits.. War and Slave are two elements that goes along with each other, but made a larger impact on other lives, in a bad way. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| is the rest of the story going to be this slow as well? This feels pretentious. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Oh boi Arnheid and her husband are screwed |
