| What a strong episode of the Vinland Saga. Couldn't hold back the tears. It turned out beautiful! |
 |
| This was probably the best episode we have had of Season 2 so far. Seeing Thorfinn's true understanding of war with the nightmare scenes looking absolutely terrifying was chilling. |
  |
| That was fast. Great episode!!! I want more. ☺️ That Thorfinn and Einar was really great. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| Oh damn! My apologies 😅 |
| Another great ep. That moment with Thorfinn and Snake got me HYPE! Also who was that at the end? Canute with short hair maybe? Or a new character? Dunno |
 |
| Incredible episode. .. WoW |
| Thorkell. THORKELL!! THORKELLLLLLLLLLL!!!! COOLEST GUY IS BACK BAYBEE |
| great chapter Thorfinn is already getting more development thanks to Einar Thorfinn still knows how to fight quite well, I was surprised that he reacted like this to Serpent The chapter at an artistic level was very good as always and the ambient sound effects were the best in this chapter According to the progress of the chapter we will see familiar faces again To be patient and wait for the next chapter! |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| man this is depressing. love the contrast between seasons. |
 |
| loved the flashbacks, those warriors in a different art style looked cool too. tough seeing how einar was with thorfinn tho, considering what's become of thorfinn. really feel for him. einar doesn't really know about how many ranked lobbies thorfinn has joined and his kill count, bro used to be goated behind the sticks. the moon scene at the end was heavenly. |
 |
| All the episodes have been good so far with one being a strong start, but this is by far the best episode. Goddamn. I'm glad the anime is showing even more how fucked up Thorfinn's life has been (especially his involvement in such violence as a child). And I was wondering if they'd do a Canute tease at the end and thought that they wouldn't but lo and behold it happened. I am not complaining. |
 |
| I like your line style, nice to see the classic black and white. Good drawings. Is the second one on paper? |
| CANUTE NEXT EPISODE YESS LETS GO |

| Thank you, Einar For waking Thorfinn from the nightmare he was experiencing while he was asleep, but also from the nightmare he was experiencing while he was awake |

| Just damn, this was an amazing episode. Easiest 10/10 in a long time |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Wonderful episode. Really loving the more introspective approach this season is taking. |
| I felt like there was a lot of weird zoom ins and expressions this episode, like I was watching an episode of Flapjack. Especially with the lips zooming in XD |
| idk what to think about Einar, he is like, really dumb sometimes. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
| 3.5/5 The best episode so far. We got a proper one on one with our two central characters and I have to say, the direction was top notch especially the 2nd half I withhold my Askeladd comparisons last episode but this one literally paralleled it in the first few minutes. I am very interested in this Snake fellow and how he might influence the story going forward. The stable interactions & monologues were the highlights for me. Going deep into Thorfin's insecurities, regret and anguished past with Einar conflicted with his emotions as well. I loved the atmosphere and mood that was presented in those scenes. The animation was consistent as well so overall, a very enjoyable 20 mins. Also, is that a Canute cameo at the end there? Well, it kinda looked like him. I guess we'll find out in coming weeks but for now, season 2 has been decent and pleasing so far |

| So much budget went into this episode, damn. Especially their mouths lmao. I loved the callback to Thorfinn decapitating that captain from season 1, and that random English mother who combed his hair. |
| What an outstandingly good episode. Snake's sudden attack and his certain resemblance of Askeladd, was nothing the shocked Thorfinn had expected at all. Nevertheless his body still managed to response perfectly to the situation. Obviously to a big surprise for all attendees. Thorfinn couldn't comprehend what had happened, but as Snake told him shortly after, his body still says it wants to live. Thorfinn simply has to find something he wants to live for. For Einar even more questions began to come up and so naturally he asked what Thorfinn did in his past. The whole sequence in the barn was truly a masterpiece. Knowing that Thorfinn used to be a warrior resulted in one particular emotion dominating Einhar. All the anger and hatred he felt towards these so-called warriors came out, and yet there was some sort of internal conflict that resulted in him not choking Thorfinn to death.. You can't blame him for his feelings. He lost everything which ever had an important meaning to him. In the meantime, we were able to witness one of Thorfinn's typical nightmares for ourselves. No wonder he screams so much. I loved Einhar's little speech. It definitely feels like it had some sort of impact on Thorfinn, since he thanked Einhar for waking up him and immediately apologizing that Einhar doesn't get enough sleep because of his screaming. Super excited to see where this "friendship" will go. A glimpse of Canute at the end? Next episode Thorkell? Oh boy, I'm ready! |

| What a great episode! I'm torn on the direction they took for the Einar/Thorfinn scene; part of me really loves the stuff they added, but part of me also prefers Einar's simpler response in the manga. Either way though, WE'RE FINALLY GETTING A CANUTE EPISODE NEXT WEEK LET'S GOOOOO! |
 |
| The final scene at the barn and the character debut on the hill were really wonderful visually. You kinda forget how shredded Einar is lol. |
| As someone who complained about Episode 3 being too slow, this was a great episode. This time, the slow pace worked much better and really helped the intense character moments sink in. The art, animation, acting, writing, they all came together beautifully to make me feel just how horribly broken Thorfinn is, how much Einar had to go through to come to terms with Thorfinn, and where both of them could go from here. I think there were scenes still that went a little too long, but my faith is somewhat restored. Next week can't come soon enough. |
| What a fucking episode. Personally, they're really giving justice to the manga as well as expanding on some things, especially Einar. Honestly, I've forgotten a bit of the manga, since it's been a while since I've read this, but it just makes the anime experience even better. That dream sequence with Thorfinn was so good and of course I have been waiting a long time for his moment with Snake at the beginning, peak. Next episode is going to be Canute focused, can't wait. |
 |
| so much for the thorfinn action but still in a way this was a great episode to wake thorfinn up to make him realise that he wants to live. we will be focusing on canute and stuff from next episode it seems. i was really looking forward to see some bonding with hebi but seems like that will have to wait. einar came in to save the day. him wanting to kill thorfinn was completely understandable but what i liked was for him to realise that his reason for doing so isn't really valid. he himself said that it's not like thorfinn killed his family. the whole last part was really great. also patre, best man. 10/10. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| its not enough i have to fight my own demons i got to watch 2 grown man fighting their own demons as well in an anime. stop complaining thorfinn lets go brother |
These are great, you really captured the feelings behind their faces. Did you do it while watching some reference pic or did you did it from your own head? |
| Tis episode gets 10/10 lips from me. BetaMaleUltra said: Thank you, Einar For waking Thorfinn from the nightmare he was experiencing while he was asleep, but also from the nightmare he was experiencing while he was awake Yes, all the thanks to Einar. |

Novizenpe said: Still impressive, you should sometime try without pics, just like a challenge, to see how far you can go. :DFrom pics but i always add my own style and twist to it :)) |
| Was that Canute at the end? That was an impactful episode. Thorfinn said "thank you" !! So he paid attention to what Einar told him. |
