| PEEEEAK 😭😭😭 |
| Dat skirmish/ struggle with canute and Thorgil was intense.. for it to only be ruined by giving that bitch ass whore arnhied more fucking screen time, twas putting me to sleep I had to fast forward. |
 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. |
| This episode is just phenomenal, everything about it is just perfect. |
 |
| Bruhh after last week sadness of Anime and it just keep continuing on Vinland Saga as well. R.I.P Arnheid For god sake, i can't keep crying while i'm watching Anime.. |
 |
| Yep, Einar was a simp after all, its not out of good will. |
| 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 |
| Painful and beautiful at the same time. |
My Candies 2024:  |
| brutality on the battlefield and ketil's men were getting straight flexed on. thorgil did very well against canute and with a strategic retreat, but i'm surprised he wasn't hit with an arrow or spear or something while running/swimming. that eyeball poke was so sudden and brutal thoooo, no censorship W but damn. wulf goated af as well. rip arnheid, it's been rough. it hit me when she brought up their morning chats. CPR scene was a hard watch, just let her go man. thorfinn on the way to canute now, 5/5 episode. |
 |
| "Please don't put yourself under the same curse that I was under." Powerful stuff, but also Einar should've been able to beat that slave-owning ass. |
 |
| This is straight up one of the best anime ever, the finale is going to be so epic |
| The current fight, or shall we say this massacre, illustrates the enormous difference in strength between Canute's and Ketil's men. Of course, from Fox's point of view, it's fun when he can brutally kill someone weaker. Faced with such a terrible enemy, he now realized that he's on the weaker side and that there's a high probability he would not survive either. Especially his reaction when he saw the clearly inferior Badger fighting and couldn't rush to his aid out of sheer fear, emphasizes this controversy even more. Once again Snake had to step to the rescue. I actually didn't really expect Canute to be so surprised by Thorgil's attack as he usually plans for any eventuality. Unfortunately, even with this tremendous advantage, Thorgil was unable to bring Canute down and eventually had to flee, which he audibly resented. After all, Canute's men had to fall back as a result, which gave Snake and Ketil, who unfortunately survived, the chance to escape. I cannot put into words how hard Arnheid's death hit me. While the title of this episode and the dream from the last one anticipated her inevitable fate, I still wish she had made it. With all of her loved ones dead, it becomes almost impossible to find a reason to live on. "Why do I have to live?" Thorfinn in particular understands these words only too well, as he asked himself the same question not long ago and was looking for a reason to live to escape his inner emptiness. Arnheid's injuries were bad enough as it was, and with her lost will to live, there was no way she could be saved. To see Thorfinn and Einar desperately trying to keep her alive after Arnheid's last words was heartbreaking and lifted to something indescribable by the voice actors and the OST. I feel particularly sorry for Einar. Once again he had to witness the death of a loved one, leaving him absolutely hopeless and helpless. Of course, with the appearance of Snake and the still unconscious Ketil, those feelings turned into anger and hatred as he now found the target to avenge Arnheid. I don't think anyone other than Thorfinn could have brought Einar back to his senses, for which I'm sure Einar will thank him at some point. Through his own experience, Thorfinn knows that Einhar's anger and hatred could not be quenched even if Ketil were dead and therefor was able to find the right words for a beautiful speech. Thorfinn's character development is incredible. For him the fight is not over yet and especially with Arnheid's death he is all the more willing to prevent further deaths. His current self reminds me a lot of Thors who would certainly be proud of his son. I've also never seen Thorfinn with such confidence, which makes it even harder to predict what his reunion with Canute will be like. Just look at this man's eyes and his determination.  Can't wait for next week. |

| Those lessons paid off, Canute defended decently well against Thorgil. I'm extremely looking forward to Thorfinn and Canute's meeting next ep. |
 |
| Phenomenal episode. Ketil's men are brutally slaughtered by Canute's army. It was not even a contest. Snake saved one of his men from a close call and ordered a retreat. That was a smart call. Those vikings are savages. Thorgil striked back from behind and almost took out Canute. However, Canute deflected the blow. All that training prepared Canute because this man can defend well. But Thorgil's brute strength overwhelmed him. Canute's body guard came just in the knick of time tho. Arnheld passing away under her last breath was tragic. Thorfinn couldn't successfully use CPR on her. Poor Einar. Man confessed his feelings to her but there was nothing that he could do. Einar completely broke. Rest in peace, Arnheid. She can finally meet Gardar and her children blissfully.. |

| Must have forgotten that line because that was pretty bad ass when Thorfinn's like... I counted about 100 soldiers still in Canute's camp so I should still at least make it back alive. Could be Thorfinn's dark humor, but he is a bad ass so... :P |

| The title couldn't be more fitting to describe this episode as a whole. The fight continued to be heavily one-sided, with Fox, whose internal monologue showed how he did enjoy killing here and there, was petrified after seeing how brutal the Jomsvikings butchered everyone in their way. His comrade, Bear, whose fight had some really nice animation to it, had to be rescued by Snake before calling for a retreat. This caught Ketil completely off-guard and when he tried and failed to stop one soldier from retreating, he was then attacked himself. When that happened, Thorgil got up to level land just as Wulf left Canute's side to see what happened to Ketil, so he launched his stealth attack. Since he was running in the grass and made more noise than needed, Canute heard this and was barely able to block Thorgil's attack. Wulf got back and then went all out, but he wasn't strong enough to take out Thorgil, who responded by squishing Wulf's right eyeball before making his retreat. After that, came the saddest part of the episode where Arnheid died due to her injuries, just after she confirmed to the others around her that her unborn baby was also dead. Thorfinn's attempt to resuscitate her was admirable, but at that point, Arnheid was beyond saving. As if the timing couldn't be any worse, Snake, carrying a heavily injured Ketil, arrived, which sent Einar into pure anger. Thorfinn was able to stop Einar by punching him hard in the face after he too got punched before consoling Einar with truly inspirational words. ='( After Arnheid was buried, Thorfinn decided it was time to confront Canute once and for all. Leif objected to it at first, but after hearing Thorfinn's reasons, as well as voicing out how proud he was of the citizens who escaped war and settled in Iceland, Leif promised that he'll be waiting for Thorfinn's return. I can only hope that Thorfinn will return safely. It's going to be tough on him, which the preview for the next episode showcased pretty well, but I have faith that he can pull this off. |
FINALLY, ARNHEID FKNG DIED, LET'S GOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Excellent episode, 9.1/10. |
| rest in peace Arnheid-san Damn nice punch by best friend haha |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| Finally next Vinland ep Thorfinn is going to face Canute |

Jamk_ said: Finally next Vinland ep Thorfinn is going to face Canute Yeah but when is Thorfin going to see Thorkell again... That is what we are all waiting for. |
| The battle was brutal. No censorship from Mappa. All those voice actors made the scenes even more disturbing. I love how Canute defended himself, all that training has paid off. And his main guard ain’t giving up goddamn. Thorfinn’s speech to Einar is great, I love when he starts preaching to others! Lol Thorfinn implying he can defeat a 100 kingsmen, that’s cold. I can’t wait to see how his conversation with Canute goes. |

| that was fucking epic |
 |
| This season has been a bit of a slow burn but I am hyped for next episode! |
| Pain. The new PV kinda made it obvious that Arnheid dies :/ But damn..what a tragic character, RIP. Its always the normal folk and the innocent that pay for the crimes of the powerful. On a side note at least the incels are happy that the 'annoying woman' is dead I suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| Well, after the beating she took, it was inevitable. Kinda wanted to see Ketil's reaction to that but it can wait. Thorfinn's line here was so badass though, only 100 men, worst-case scenario, he makes it back alive. The absolute confidence this guy has now, you can even see it in his eyes. Next Monday can't come sooner. |

I did not realize it right away. But I think Vinland is meant to be the Americas. Kinda sus tbh. I could me mistaken but I believe I read it's somewhere it would be about where Canada is. Of course it's fictional so who really knows. "Vinland, Vineland,[2][3] or Winland[4] (Old Norse: Vínland) was an area of coastal North America explored by Vikings. Leif Eriksson landed there around 1000 AD, nearly five centuries before the voyages of Christopher Columbus and John Cabot.[5] The name appears in the Vinland Sagas, and describes Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence as far as northeastern New Brunswick" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinland |
