Depressing as usual, but it was refreshing to see Arnheid's background as she too is character with enduring strength that held onto hope to being content with what she had.
Sometimes it's just like that no matter what.
An avalanche of bullshit from bad to worse, but that silver lining of hope to a somewhat brighter future.
Yeah, this episode gave me the feels, sorry.

Where did einar said he wants to buy her? He literally said he wants her to be free since she's attached to Ketil. Of course he wants to help the husband because it wants to live with Arnheid away from being a slave. that's called freedom. 

how are you not getting the simple context? 

Are you serious? Go watch again…

She is not for sell otherwise that’s was his plan to buy her freedom and he wanted to talk about that with the master…

Are you a child? Do you understand the things that you are watching? ( real question )

His behavior was just stupid,he was ready to fight to death without asking questions about the situation 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️
Like I mentioned where did u get the idea he was trying to buy her??? he was trying to free her by attacking snake so she could get away. In fact Einar WANTED to stay because he feels like he's friends with Arnheid. 

idk how you got this conlusion of Einar wanting to buy Arnheid when that was never the case.

Now that the farming is done I am back on board the slaves are getting fucked over train. 
nah i liked the farming and everything, it's just this personal drama feels like the story, instead of advancing, took a massive step backward. i don't see how it moves the plot at all, and einar should really stop simping and mind his own business, for his and everyone else's good. i don't want to say it's bad or anything, just that i find it boring and useless.
why is it useless?? the setting that thorfinn and Einar is on is literally Ketil's farm. this is called world building and how you extrapolate other characters that is involve with the primary setting. 

It seems like you didn't understand the actual plot of this whole thing and why it matters.

You were sleeping when they talk about freedom I guess.

At the end of the day, we won’t agree about that even if you missed this part…

An no matter what, it was stupid to try to kill snake…

And she explained why it was not a good idea…

This was easily one of the best episodes this season. The bit of action at the start and the backstory of two characters we know little about made a great episode. The colors and music really stood out and made every moment of the episode entertaining.

it seems like YOU are putting words in my mouth and not listening to what i'm saying. the whole z story line (since there's so many) with arnheid is so unbelievably boring and i've yet to see how it relates to larger things going on. it felt like a few episodes back things were starting to develop in certain ways only for us to get massive whiplash with a whole new story wrench in the machine. very disappointing.

Absolutely masterpiece of an episode but I feel like shit now. Arnheid's backstory was depressing af and her VA giving her all with those screams almost made me tear up.

OST was outstanding as always, by the way.

Lol calm your ass down before you get killed batman aka Einar. If Thorfinn didn't step in, he woulda gotten beheaded and Arnheid prolly wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. His braincells go on rest mode when it comes to her, but you know what they say. Love makes you do dumb things🙄

But yea this episode was peak as usual. Enjoyed that little convo between Sverkel and Arnheid as well.

As always Vinland Saga story telling is incredible. I love that this season action is not the main focus. Even though the concepts in this episode are not new but I like that every character has his own motivation and reason to be introduced in the story like in the flashbacks from this episode. If the story goes like this in the next arc I think this season will be better than the first one of course if the next arc will be finished by the end of the season.

Einar can be so dumb... What's the point trying to save the husband of the woman who just go in a rampage? It's not like the guy is innocent and you will gain nothing from your action. He is lucky to have Thorfinn for holding his horses.

there has only been 3 story line so far whch is Thorfinn, Canute and now Arnheid. What do you mean there's so many story line? If you're not seeing the bigger picture to this then why assume it serves no purpose? did you skip thorfinn's development up to this point and why he's involved?

The episode was kinda good and finally, an episode with the main characters that isn't about cutting lumbers and shit. I still don't like the OST that much, I'm talking about the piano music in the background, I already complained about this before in the previous episodes but the piano music in this season sounds like the pianist is improvising on the spot and I don't like these type of music since they lack melody, I rather have a beautiful piano piece with melody like Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, Steins;Gate, Re:Zero, etc... the piano pieces in those anime are full of melody and that's my jam, I simply don't like how this season of Vinland Saga is doing it with that piano.

And on the good side, the 2nd opening is awesome, the more I hear it the more I'm loving it, this is probably my favorite opening in Vinland Saga.

Please don't make Einar act stupid for the rest of the anime/manga when Arnheid is involved because that would be lame, 6.1/10.

As expected, Snake was able to handle the whole situation with Gardar and capture him afterwards. And also, if I can understand Einar's perspective, but he should know better what consequences this would have not only for Arnheid, but for himself as well. Luckily Thorfinn found the right words to bring him to his senses. Not to mention the fact that Einar can hardly imagine what it means to want to kill someone.

Arnheid's backstory was nothing but depressive. As a mother, she had to go through what is probably the most painful experience, namely losing her child, or rather, having it taken away. While Gardar gave the reason that it would upset the balance in the area if Yngve got the iron, certain precautions should have been taken. In a time where villages are being attacked, plundered and women as well as children are being sold as slaves, this is something that should be known. In retrospect, of course, it is easy to say this, since nothing could have happened either.

With Arnheid being pregnant with Ketil's child she shouldn't put herself in danger, which makes the situation all the more complicated. While she said she wanted to ride out the storm, Sverkel's story, in which he also made a wrong decision, encouraged her to do the opposite. It's hard to predict exactly what may happen to Gardar from now on. Though if I'm being honest it probably won't be a good thing. Not to mention, Canute is already on his way to the farm. That means chaos is inevitable.

After listening to the opening and the ending again, I really have to say that both sound beautiful.

Arnheld's backstory is depressing to witness. She just wanted to live a normal life in the village with both her son and Gardar. 
The blasted vikings ruined everything. Raiding and burning down her village. Along with taking away her son. Arnheld's blood curdling scream as she reached out to her son gave me goosebumps. What a devastating loss. There was no one to protect the women back at the village because all the men gathered with Gardar to battle at the marsh for iron.
This is the calm before the storm.

Idk at this point why I should call Ketil a good man. I pitty him. He's terrible parent to his sons then wonders why they act so recklessly; robbed Arhneid of her happiness and freedom, uses her for his carnal desires or to suit his mental state in his lowest then he somehow thinks these slaves should be thankful to him. Yeah, no.

Truly the slaves suffer in this show.

Einar was ready to fight for Arhneid.He truly loves her.Also the conversation of Sverkel and Arnheid was pretty good.


Snake was pretty good in fighting as usual.5/5 episode.

Ya know after watching Berserk '97 and FMA: Brotherhood and Iron-Blooded Orphans, I didn't think I could ever find a more depressing anime. Then Vinland Saga came along. Like damn, you can't even have a tiny moment of happiness without some pitch-black stuff popping up. They definitely do not gloss over or romanticize the era the characters live in. I am not one who likes slow-burn anime either, I prefer action every episode, but I have to say this season has been excellent so far. Even without action sequences, I find myself engaged by the story. Looking forward to the next episode.

Better? In what way? I guess he was more of a badass and entertaining to watch in action scenes, but in terms of character development, in S1 Thorfinn was a little flat—the angry kid obsessed with getting revenge for his father's murder, which he couldn't really have stopped anyway. In my opinion, Askeladd was the main character of season 1. Far more compelling and complex personality/motivations. He really stole the show, to the very end when he lopped Sweyn's head off. Now Thorfinn is getting his chance to be more than just a rage-killing machine in this arc.
