| canute doing what needs to be done while thorfinn thinks no matter what violence is violence different perspectives different results |
 |
| Seeing Canute was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. I was so curious to see how he was doing and it also fits in perfectly to show us how swiftly a potential epidemic could be controlled in Europe, even then. Also the absence of the Lnu makes me fear they either have also come to know the plague, or Hild has already taken action. I hope none of the main cast (Palmuk and Nisqauji'j) has the pest. Unfortunately I know they are the most likely to get infected as they spend the most time with the norse but that would hurt far too much. |
| The death of a man is a horrible thing; the death of a million is statistics. |
| FINALLY we get Canute my second favourite character behind Askeladd. It's been far too long. People will disagree, but I agree with Canute's ideals a million times more than Thorfinn's. Thors had it figured out though not completely, but Thorfinn at this point in the story is a true slave to peace, willing to drag others down with him for the sake of it. Not a fan. Interested to see where it goes from here, I can see a short epidemic arc happening but after that it could be one final arc to the end. |
| Hopefully Canute plays a major role in this final arc. |

| Did that ship really come from Vinland? It's a bit hard to believe they managed to cross the Atlantic and go back to Europe this fast while carrying a deadly decease. Canute took the killing the few to save the many approach to prevent the decease from spreading. Meanwhile, Thorfinn is still sticking to his own ideals rejecting that violence can be ever righteous no matter what. On the other hand, he hasn't come up with an alternative realistic option at this point to defend his stance. Now the other guy who came from that village will explain what happened there. How did all those arrows come from without killing anyone? |

| pretty solid chapter. big upgrade from the 3 page chapter we got before this. interested to see what the markland survivor has to say as well as how thorfinn and the others are going to approach hild's actions |
| Liked how the chapter was referencing few of the events from the farm arc, the last time when we saw Canute playing a major role in the series. Though for now he has his hands full with the epidemic, and being the king he is, it must've felt cruel killing your own people. But to save many, sacrificing a few is the way he deems it necessary. For Thorfinn and Vinalnd, they need to come up with a way to deal with the plague, as it is coming there a lot sooner rather than later. |
 |
| canutes solution to the pandemic is sacrifice a few to save many the trolley problem but what will thorfinn do about the pandemic |
| Well, I think I might know what happened in Markland then. I just hope disease is not to spread to Arnheid Village |

I'm not one of those people who screams "pacifism is bad", but this isn't how you handle pacifism in your story well. I kinda agee. I certainly wouldn’t say it’s gone downhill, but unlike in the farmland arc or in the other previous arcs, his character dveelopment has somewhat stagnated, or at least isn’t as prominent as it used to be. This arc seems to be very much biulding up to something though, so im still happy. Im guessing we will see thorfinn being shown the consequences of his no violence rule. Im thinkin we might get a thors death parallel too. I'm also thinking what Mangaka show us about true peace is and also the true process. |
