| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Timeskip this long is the last thing I expected to happen. I really hope we get to see what happened in those two years of timeskip in form of a long flashback arc. If we don't get it somehow, then I'd be severely disappointed of being robbed of seeing Thofinn's travels through Rus and in Eastern Roman Empire (assuming trip went as planned), especially considering how long Baltic Sea War arc was. Anyway, this chapter felt really short as always. Thorfinn's new look is great. |

| he has new scars.. |
| That time skip was quite unexpected |
| Ylva with the battle ready pose to defend was the best thing to happen over the years. XD You go girl! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Wow Thorfinn looks so badass in this panel Yalva looked so freaking awesome in that panel,warrior girl,i am pretty sure she is even more dangerous than Thorfinn himself. (laughs out loud) I never expected that we will see a timeskip but anyway want to see what Thorfinn did in last 2 years.Gudrid and Thorfinn looks so cute together.Great couple. I bet they will go on a journey soon. |

| Wow, I did not expect a timeskip - was really looking forward to Miklagard and the Varangian Guard :( In any case, this is interesting. I wonder why you'd do that at this point of the story. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Its a good way for Yukimura to not be bothered by the research about Kiev Rus and Bizantine Empire. As much as I whanted 50 chapters about going down Dnieper and trading. |
| skipping trading subquest is always good,i prefer few flasbacks. |
| I liked this chapter. From all the characters after the Farm arc. Sigurd is my favorite. Really liked how he found his resolve. Thorfinn is back baby! I like his new design. This chapter was a nice conclusion for Sigurds development and a nice build up for next arc. |
Chunchunmaru3 said: Damn, I was really hoping to see Istanbul, or Constantinople in this manga. Yukimura better tell all the things about the journey. Me too. I was looking forward to seeing Thorfinn kicking butt through Russia and all the way down to the Byzantine empire, but I guess Yukimura didn't want to go through all that. Maybe we get a flashback chapter or two? This puts the Vinland trip right on the front burner now. He pays Halfdan and is clear to go almost. He even has a fleet |

| Agree on the timeskip thing. If those 2 years are about his traveling yet we dont see sh*t about them and we go directly to Vinland it would be a massive dissapointment. It could even get out of my top 10 manga. All that thing could easily call for at least a 5 volumes arc. Cant wait for Bug eyes to vandalize Hagia Sophia. Im also concerned about Canute, Id like to know if hes gonna do something about Thorfinn coming to America and become the first ilegal inmigr... I mean, the father of european colonization in the new World. |

| I was surprised with the timeskip but as long as we see what happened in flashbacks during that time I'm fine with this. Thorfinn's hair looks good though I'm like "eh" with his new scars. Ylva's part was hilarious too. That woman is by far the manliest person in the village. |

| gudrid clinging onto thorfinn’s back ticked me off - what happened to her being strong and confident? |

It's most likely the prelude to next chapter where we find out that they've married or something |
| Good way to dodge doing research, i don't mind it really, better to go the save way instead fucking it up. I hope we at least get some flashbacks and it looks like we will since it say "next issue Thorfinn shows the fruits of the last 2 years." |
 |
| I prefer this timeskip. I don't want to wait for another 10 years for thorfinn to reach vinland :/ |
 |
| Finally caught up... Have to say, I'm a little disappointed. The series started so brightly and was a thrill until Askelaad's death. The farm arc, though poorly paced, was solid overall. I thought the characters were interesting and Thorfinn's development was nice to experience first-hand. This 3rd main saga, however, was horrible in my eyes. It felt like it was written by a different person; it was just so bland. Thorkell reduced solely to comedic relief, Garm was as generic as can be - just an awful character, Sigurd and his gang of goons being thrown around everywhere like they're the Team Rocket of VS, and an overall anti-climactic use of the JomsV plotline... Hope the series gets back on track with what's to come. Not sure how I feel about a two-year timeskip but maybe that's what the manga needed. Blah. Needed to get that off my chest. |
| the baltic arc is a costant parallelism to the first arc,we see how much thorfinn grew and his new ideals are tested,we see how thorfinn struggle with his anger. For me it has the peak of vinland saga and all the message that the author wanted to tell are in this arc this  and this  this is the peak of all vinland saga for me. Plus Sigurd character development that is great. Garm most likely is autistic,he's an interesting character,he does nothing with malice, he's pure and innocent. Thorkell was always used as comedic relief. |

| Ylva in panic :D I'm kinda disappointed that we haven't seen more of this journey, but hey, at least they will go on their "real" journey sooner than expected. Thorfinn and Gudrid are looking good. |

| So after spending 40 chapters on a war that to me felt pretty pointless as Thorfinn wanted nothing to do with it and had nothing to gain from it other than avenging his father's death which he obviously doesn't want due to his pacifist nature now the author skips Thorfinn's entire travel to Greece, which is basically the whole point of this manga and the thing I was most looking forward to. Golden Kamuy handled the traveling aspect much better so far. |

1Kyo said: Yukimura skipped what would have been the most unnecessary and one of the longest story arcs in VS. The Baltic War Arc was necessary for the story, the rest of the travel not really. It would enrichen the worldbuilding of VS, but not contribute to the overall story. It would be a cool extra, but do we really need to spend 3-5 years with "cool extras"? I'm glad we're heading to what's really important now.

Golden Kamuy handled the traveling aspect much better so far. How was the travel to Greece the entire point to the manga? lmao. When the travel to Greece was revealed, it was pretty obvious from the beginning that the entire point of the arc would be to have Thorfinn confront his past. That's what the Baltic War arc did. Thorffin is an explorer, one of the main themes of this manga is traveling/exploring. I wanted to see that journey, the world at the time and the character interactions alomg the way. Instead we get based and wokepilled trans arc. |

| 2 years time skip and Thorfinn and the gang are back in Iceland |
