| Feels sad for Arnheid. The emotional episodes are really the best. |
| W Thorfinn he really spoke truly from the heart when he was trying calm Einar down. Shows just how much he has grown during the farming saga! |
| RIP Arnheid ಥ╭╮ಥ |
| Oh wow, that was quite the fast battle. Even Thorgil failed at killing Canute because yeah PLOT. He could have easily killed him just like the two other soldiers standing nexto him. But, it is what it is. The soundtrack during Arnheid's final moments were just LEGENDARY. Thorfin's choice to stay back and let there not be any more deaths shows how much he has changed. It'll be crazy to see them have a conversation again. |

| All hyped up for the Thorfinn/Canute meeting. Look how our boy has grown, all ready to talk to Canute straight, trying to solve whatever has been going on there. We all know it's not going to be that simple, but heck... we just witnessed the birth of Thorfinn the politician! Our brainless boy is no more. |
rpspoonia said: Peaceful arc ⁉️ lol.Finally able to see the Viking battles after a slow season of peaceful arc. |
| Thorgill takes the middle of the battle again, but Thorfinn's determination is what creates hope in this great story. From the calm of an almost idyllic paradise, despite slavery, to the return to the apocalyptic cauldrons of war, violence will never leave anything good in this world, but man is corrupt in his heart no matter the thousands of years that pass, That is the great curse of humanity... |
 |
| Holy fucking shit it's finally going to happen. Thorfinn is going to see Canute after all these years. I can't wait for next weeks episode. This episode was fantastic itself tho. Thorgil's attack was badass and the main guard dude coming to defend was equally as so. I loved seeing Fox's perspective for a bit at the beginning of the episode as well. Then the pain that was Arnheid's death and Snake showing up. Oh man this show is special. |
| Again somehow Vinland Saga manages to create an adrenaline filled epic action scene in the first half only to overshadow it with emotional gut punch in the second half of the episode. The last couple of episodes are nothing short of masterpiece. I pray we'll get a S3 |
Phantomtroupe97 said: I never thought Thorgill would succeed in killing Canute at the end of last ep and sure enough plot armour comes to the rescue for Canute in the form of Thorgill pausing to talk completely unnecessarily but we did get to see some action. The animation looked quite clean and well done. I didn't think Arnheid would get killed off. I get that she has nothing to live for but einar and thorfinn had nothing to live for a while ago. I think there was more they could have done with her character but this makes sense as well keeping in mind she was badly injured but the way they framed it made it look like it was her decision to pass on. In the end, she was a tragic character and a happy ending was just not on the cards Thorfinn recalling the story Lief told him about their ancestors fleeing from war and finding Iceland, how he used to think it was lame but now he's proud of them. Fantastic line of dialogue. The music as he heads off to meet Canute is so good. The ost for this season is just so well done and should not go unnoticed. Him talking isn't inconsistent with his character though. |

| I'm okay with the action being toned down this season, but damn what a wasted opportunity not seeing Thorgil in action, tearing through his enemies. Him getting close to killing Canute is impressive though. Looking forward to Canute and Thorfinn's convo next week. Both men have changed much since they last saw each other |

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 |
| and thus the vinland saga BEGINS! damn man epic episode as always peakland saga never misses, and man literally said 100 men r no problem bro chad af |
 |
| wow not exactly a feel good anime huh but its such a waste of time to go after canute right now |
 |
| rip Arnheid, I thought she was going to make it as well. |
 |
| That moment with Arnheid and Einar was heartbroken but holy thorfinn gives einar this punch that he got his calm back. Looks like we get a meetup between thorfinn and canute. |

| This episode blew me away, this episode left me empty, this episode was amazing yet again... |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| What an episode... and "pain" is the perfect name for it, so many deaths and sadness... and especially with Arnheid's death that was inevitable. Thorfinn is going in now, it will sure be something. |

erikkamirs said: They gave the hastiest explanation for why Thorfinn knew CPR...in the 1300s! I did not realize it right away. But I think Vinland is meant to be the Americas. Kinda sus tbh. The Viking age was long over by the 1300s lol. This would’ve been around the early 11th century. |

| Wars change even the toughest of people. Fox realized it at the right moment to save his life. While Ketil got lost in his foolishness. Snake and Thorgill were bold this episode with their understandings. Thorfinn moves to face Canute. Next episode is gonna be epic. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
