Yup, just you. Maybe. 🀣

I actually like Einar. He gives me that big brother vibes when he was teaching Thorfinn more about farming previous episodes back. πŸ˜…

Einar ain't that bad. I like that he helps Thorfinn to make sense of things, cuz that boy is going through a serious existencial crisis in this season. I find that the biggest issue with this season is the slow as heck pacing, but that's to be expected, seeing as the Slave arc is for the most part about character developement in my opinion. Although the Arnheid/Gardar part could have easily been done in half the air time it got and going through that was a pain. But still, I have faith that upcoming episodes are going to remedy that.

Broski is the most relatable character and one of the most likable fella in the show

Would be interested in knowing your perspective as to why, but you just made a thread to call him annoying, didn’t elaborate any further, then asked who agrees lol.

Poor Raki gets a lot of hate, I loved Claymore and I personally didn't have issues with Raki, that being said, I did find him annoying in the last episode though but other than that, I was cool with him.

He is just a normal person, he is kind and pure hearted just like arnheid in a world where everything it's against him and he doesn't even fight very well. The things which makes me love him it's the fact that he is the only reason why Thorfinn changes his entire perspective about violence and life

Man, the people on this website love showcasing their lack of contact with other people. Einar is great. Dude is an every man in a harsh world.

Tbh i find him quite annoying as well.
I cant really pin point why but maybe its because he is kinda like the typical protagonist. He is emotional, hot headed und ready to throw his life away too easy? Feels a little out of place for Vinland Saga maybe.
Obviously this is highly subjective tho and i am not saying he has to be a like that for everybody.

Nah even I find him annoying at times , specifically the moments when he gives me that typical shonen mc vibes where he fails to assess the situation he's in and doesn't even try to even think of the consequences of his actions and goes head on and does things.( eg: that moment when he had an axe with him and the thought of snake slitting his throat within seconds didn't even cross his mind as he thought of attacking him and thorfinn stops him and to add that he didn'teven know what tf was happening when he thought to go head on and attack, this not a good person thing, I think it's foolish)

Idk if it's just me but I'm not fond of such characters. Besides in those him and thorfinn moments I find him very likable. Mixed opinion on him.

this can be addressed when you realize that Einar was literally trying to make Arheid happy by letting her free and not be a slave by attacking snake so she could get away. If you think that's dumb in a situation then you clearly have no clue what the perspective that the character is having and forcing your own garbage analysis without looking at the whole picture on why he tried to do that.

Ok then what afterwards? Let's assume that happened arnheid escaped and all. Would einer get his freedom? Would've ketil let him free after knowing he's done something like that? Ketil would've gone on to kill einer if such thing happened and we can see what ketil did to arnheid . I'm not fond of characters who lack critical thinking in dire situations and that's just my preference.

I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone I've clearly said things like "I think, I'm not fond " try learning basic English before bashing someone for having an opinion.

That's the thing with Einar, he's selfless. you're confusing him with someone that is selfish, which he wasn't. he even told u in episode 10 he wants to find a way for her to be free even if she's Ketil's property. 

The writing that the author tells you is pretty clear, and also Einar ACTUALLY knows what he's doing and the consequences but would rather still help than do nothing. He did nothing when his Mother got killed in front.

Selfish or selfless I just can't stand characters like that, einer even knew in that moment he wasn't strong enough nor did he know to fight let alone kill still he wanted to do something.

I understand his perspective and understand that what he did is what mostly any other person would've done in his place , but I'm not fond of characters who let their feelings take over in dire situations some critical thinking is required and I personally find that troupe annoying in anime since it's been overused in shounens.And that's why I mentioned I find those aspects of him annoying and not find him annoying completely. When they planned out arnheid's escape later that was smart even though it wasn't a foolproof plan ...there was a plan.

That's fine but that doesn't take away what his character was built for, and you act like he doesn't know what he was doing when he actually KNEW it.

Funny thing is what way would they find a way to help her get away? Actually they never found a way for her to escape and ONLY used gardar's horrible condition to do that. But it was worse because Gardar was killed. They never planned a thorough plan for Arnheid to escape. They only discussed if they could convince Ketil for her to be free, and we know that's not happening.

That's not simping my dude. Unless you consider him sacrificing himself for Thorfiin, he barely knew him atm, in ep4 simping. All Einar has this season is his friendship with Thorfinn and Arnheid, which he's known for 5 years or so.

I personally love Einar. He was there for Thorfinn during his lowest point. He helped him through his depression by listening, trying to be understanding, and showing compassion like a true homie
