Thorgil almost kill King Canute.
Such emotional with Arnheid death.
Thorfin determination to talk to King Canute, that serious face!

Him talking isn't inconsistent with his character though.

It is in this moment because it's stupid and he's not a stupid character. He knows that his plan to kill Canute is the only way they can win and he wastes precious seconds on talking for no reason. It would be one thing if he was provoked or taunted by Canute but that's not the case. We saw him cut down so many men so quickly a few episodes ago and now he can't kill Canute who was right in front of him


Good points but smart people do stupid things all the time. Canute wasn't his typical opponent and the occasion may have gotten to him a bit.

I agree with you but I'm also pointing out that the plot has outs.

That was a rollercoaster of an episode with the high's and low's.
Thorfinn being chill, is still stepping up though.

Pain... just pain. Arnheid is dead, Einar lost another loved one and now Thorfinn will have to face Canute in order to stop this one-sided massacre.

On an unrelated note, the use of rotoscoping during Badger's combat with that Jomsviking looked superb. Clean af.

I was really expecting Thorgil to get whacked, glad he didn't as I'm really liking the guy.
As for the episode itself, it was amazing yet again! This 2nd season just keeps on delivering!

As I expected, Canute survives by virtue of being a main character. He would have been dead for sure if Thorgil didn't stop to make a witty one-liner. Thorgil picked up a career-ending injury as well, unless he's ambidextrous or can learn to fight with his left hand, fast. 

Did Pater survive? We didn't see him during the skirmish. Hopefully, he did because Team Snake desperately needs a medic. 

I found myself getting impatient about Arnheid's death in this episode. Feels like they dragged it out long enough but it wasn't that bad I guess. She can finally rest now.

Can't wait for the meeting between Thorfinn and Canute! Should be very interesting and I don't think it will go the way Thorfinn wants at all!

This show is so damn GOOD man 10/10 wow. The way it handles death, sadness, growth, loss, PTSD etc etc etc is all brilliant. Hats off to the production team.

Awesome Snake moments this ep. Canute came in clutch. Rip Arnheid. The saddest part for me was hearing about the baby and then Einar’s reaction and saying “I love you” 😭

Then Thorfinn and Leif man. This show is great. I do really hope Thorfinn returns to Iceland to see his mum and sister above all else!! And hype for next ep, Thorfinn x Canute reunion coming up.

Finally Arnheid is dead. She was ruining the show.

I wouldn’t say ruining the show but I’m inclined to agree 😅 most boring character with lots of screentime imo. And I didn’t care for Gardar at all.

Her death was sad tho

This next episode will decide the direction of Thorffin future, I wonder what he could be offering Canute to leave Ketil farm or stop the massacre.

Do some people have early-access to the episodes? I reckon the episode released just 2 minutes ago globally on Netflix and yet people here have already written their thoughts on the episode half-an-hour ago.
Fr bro like they wake up and watch it and immediately write down their thoughts like they are some critic. And its the same accounts!

Words can't describe how I'm feeling right now, this is a real masterpiece I read the manga a longtime ago, but the anime was just on another level. I will say it one more time anime like Vinland Saga will always remind me of why I fell I love with Japanese animation the first day.

Poor Arnheid, she didn’t deserve any of this….. Thorfinn going to confront Canute is one ballsy move but I respect the living hell out of that!

Intense episode

Ketil’s army continued to get rektd and Thorgill, THE BEAST!, almost succeeding in defeating Canute. Canute got overconfident and let his guard down.

I was hoping Ketil would die, but we’ll see how he ends up. As for Snake, i will say he has my respect. He’s still oral to the end.

It’s so sad that Arnheid passed away. She had nothing but heartbreak. I wanted the best for her. RIP. Poor Einer

Leif just can’t catch a break. He really wants Thorfinn to be with him in a life of peace, but Thorfinn just can’t live knowing there’s war and pain being spread elsewhere.

Thorfinn and Canute reunion incoming! Let’s see how that goes

Einar has to be the most forgettable, lame character ever. Been a nuisance for 20 straight episodes and a simple plot device for developing Thorfinn's humanity (even then, Thorfinn was already a changed man when they met, so the huge time skip did half of his work for him lol). Other than that, all we got was shitty unrequited love and him acting like a clown. Hope he gets killed off soon.

Arnheid was a great example of a tragic character though, wonderful addition to Vinland Saga and sad to see her go.
