| Thorfinn and Einar has such an unique and dynamic chemistry in this show imo, including this particular episode. Their plan with a horse had complications but I like how hey were able to express themselves to understand each other more. We also got some classic farming this episode. Not a heavy action or violent one but definitely works out for the general style of the series. Einar himself has really matured since his introduction. |
 |
| We are back to the farms, back in time after Canute’s one-off venture last episode, and it’s the usual for the duo of Thorfinn and Einar… toiling hard in the fields. Yes they need to cultivate the lands but for making the soil ready for cultivation they first need to remove trees, bushes or any other unnecessities and logic dictates this is an uphill task for just two people to do, but who to give them a horse, I mean they’re slaves, and those people sure see them nothing more than cattles. Though Thorfinn and Einar did get one horse, and from none other than Ketil’s own father. Sverkel’s a good man and is a prominent character of this arc, good to have him here. He seems like the most human character in this season yet, and most importantly someone who isn’t discriminating against these slaves. Thorfinn and Einar are in good company of Sverkel and Snake for the time being. P.S. Really liked how Einar’s teaching Thorfinn the ways of farming. Man's life been so full of shit watching him learn these things feel immensely good. |

| More farming stuff, pretty chill episode and Thorfinn suddenly has beard. |
 |
| The conversation between Snake and the old man is important for Thorfinn's development. It will help him build up a more utilitarian and pragmatic outlook on life that should help in the future. And now he has a proper friend in Einar. |

| One of the rare times in anime where I've smiled the whole way through. Lovely episode. These two have such a grounded and unique bond, they've grown quite a bit already and we haven't gotten to the meat of this season yet. Snake is charming as always! |
 |
| the old master is here and he lent a horse to Einar and Thorfinn Thorfinn was shock to have his first friend huh |
| That was quite a wholesome episode, and that's a little unexpected coming from a show like Vinland Saga. I have been loving Thorfinn and Einar's bond, and they've grown and learned many things through working on the farm together. The tasks at hand are arduous though, so they needed a horse, and luckily, they were lent one from Sverkel, Ketil's father. For Thorfinn, life has been hell, so it's nice seeing people treating him with respect, and teaching him the ways of farming. Snake was also prominent this episode, and I wonder why he has such a close relationship with Sverkel, despite not being related. I was smiling for most of this episode, because it's great to see Thorfinn finally have a friend that he can smile with as well. |
| Farming intensifies xD Good for Thorfinn. |

| Oh I see they shifted the scene of Einar calling Thorfinn friend to this episode. To be honest, it worked better than in the nightmare scene. |
| Thorfinn got a major glow-up post-time skip. He looks less gloomy and very attractive. Another great episode where I didn't even notice how the time passed. Love the vibes. |
| Beautiful episode man. Thorfinn has changed so much already in the first 6 episodes of this season. We’ve seen him open up and become way more talkative and expressive thanks in no small part to Einar’s friendship. His fight with Snake was also a huge eye opener that he still wants to live and make amends for his past. Sverkel’s wisdom about too much wealth being bad will go on to be one of the bedrocks of the series. Literally just watched two guys play farming simulator and eat soup and it was one of the best experiences I’ll have this week lol. |

| Finally Thorfinn is acting like a normal human after ages. |
| Beautiful moments in the final few moments before the ED there! Thorfinn's soft smile after being referred to as a friend was just too precious, he's grown so much already in just six episodes. I can sleep in peace now, lol. Also, the soundtrack that was used during that scene, Yamada Yutaka-sensei's finesse in full glory! Definitely want that on an endless loop during some intense study sessions. Real father and son not getting along as well, but Snake and the old man sure seemed to, lmao. Some bandits coming over next episode? It was hard to make out given how Snake was acting, hopefully, no backstabbing will be involved though... |

| This episode was so wholesome that I cried. Einar is the best friend Thorfinn could have. I love them both. |
| How can back breaking farming be this entertaining |
| This was so damn good, second favourite after the first episode. |
| We finally meet Sverkel, the old man and Ketil's father and he lends them the horse that they needed to start farming, and now that the roots are out, the actual FARMLAND SAGA has started. Also, it was fun to see the interaction between Snake and the old man. Looks like they sure need to protect that big of a farm. Also, the bearded Thorfinn and Einar were looking great. And, they're friends. How sweet. :') |
 |
| Thorfinn is one hell of sweetheart. I couldn't take my eyes off him the entire episode. He's changed so much. Diligent at work, listens and starts to learn new things that give him hope to keep on living. |
| It really feels like I’m watching Farming Simulator the anime 💀 |
 |
| Beautiful episode. It gave off more exposure to farming and also the banter between Sverkel and Snake was entertaining but also provided some wisdom from Sverkel's side. Thorfinn's character is subtly changing for the better. The whole thing was pretty wholesome. |
 |
| I was very shocked to see Thorfinn finally smiling. It made me so happy :') Einar is a good fit for him. |
 |
| Nice to see Thorfinn crack a small smile at the end. That hasn't happened for a long long time. I'm glad he finally has his first real friend too, Einar is such a great guy. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| PLS THEY ARE ADORABLE😭❤️ Also manbun thorfinn pls be minee😻😻   |
| I like the character development going on with Thorfinn , slowly we can see he's starting to acknowledge who he is and have even a little bit of meaning in his life |
| Finally luck is on their side! kekeke |
| Peak farmland episode Action saga fans on suicide watch |
 |
| I feel warm inside... |
| Why tf they do this to my man Thorfinn yikes |
| thorfinn finally made one friend I'm so happy for him |
 |
| We are really into a farmland arc. Many discussions and hard work for Thorfinn and Einar. Return of Snake and introducing the old father boss. Liked both the characters. |
