Thorfinn is allowing himself to get cut down O_O? Or is this a cunning plan on his behalf to disarm the opponent and turn the tables and kick some ass xD? Most likely the maid will arrive in the nick of time with the Master and put a stop to this though =O

Thorfinn seems to have forgotten not only his dream but also his past life, he must feel empty and doesn't mind dying.

24 pages for one month? Goddamnit. But still, this manga continually has me at the edge of my seat.

Awww, that felt too short! Great chapter though. I wonder what Thorfinn is doing. Is he just planning to die?

I agree, he must be suffering from some sort of hysterical amnesia. I feel a bit bad for the Lord's idiot son now, because when Thorfin see's a sword coming at him, he's going to at least partially snap out of it, and probably thoroughly snap the kid in two.

It looks like we have our answer as to why Thorfinn has been behaving the way he has.

Oh monthly releases, how I hate thee so..

lol, wouldn't it suck if this was the end. Just cut, he's dead, the end. That would probably be one of the most awful endings ever. Doubt it'll happen, but it's funny to think of this ridiculous ending.

He'll probably let himself get attacked and the other guy will jump infront probably getting hurt/ killed and Thorfinn will snap out of it then. Or at least, that's what i'm hoping.

I really hope not cuz the new guy is a pretty interesting character...it would be sad to see him die at this point :S

I see it as his only goal in life was taken away from him so he now is suffering from depression and just doesn't care anymore.

That was short. It was a good chapter, though. I wonder if Thorfinn will fight back. It seems to me that he's so depressed that he doesn't care about anything. The wait is so long. I hope the next chapter will have more than 30 pages...

Thorfinn reacts naturally to the oncoming sword, despite not having his memory. He slowly regains it and goes on a quest to Vinland, a new land, following his father's footsteps as he regains his composure.

He makes it to Vinland despite the terrible journey, forms a small settlement; but he also has the native americans to deal with. They fight the battle and win, and Thorfinn starts up a family of his own.

His tears swell up as he remembers his past life and what he could have done as he lies there, cut up by the masters son; his life in Vinland all but a dream.


How's that ending for ya?

Yeah, alright. I was just looking for an excuse for him to fight on Vinland that'd work. I can't imagine a massive viking army suddenly deciding "let's go attack vinland" just when Thorfinn gets there, but okay.

I'm laughing at the people who expect Thorfinn to magically turn back into what he was before. Thank God the author knows how to write a story and personally gave some of you gore-hounds the finger with "just cut me down instead" :D

thats true actually. If his previous manga is anything to go by (planetes), I'm expecting a lot more surprises ahead. I think we should just stop predicting whats gonna happen next :P

It just wouldnt make any sense for him to go all badass killing people all over the place like a silent assassin again. That would be shonen manga material. I mean I have no doubt he WILL get into action again, but it'll be a different style than before. Like the whole 'killing to save someone else rather than for myself' type shit.

... ok, so Thorfinn has lost all will to live but last time somebody did that it was Prince canute who then Thorkell said he had the same eyes as Thors, So maybe this is a good thing.

Thorfinn might be seeking his fathers way now instead. Still don't think he'll let them kill Einar though.

I knew that woman was a slave too.
So they were looking for both Thorfinn and Einar. But Thorfinn really seems empty, couldn't even remember what his dream has told.
