First what is the meaning of well written character?
So,I'm explaining in simpler term If character beliefs define his action then I think character is well defined or written altho there are things like character devlopment and how impactful is the past of that certain character are also consider major element in defining a charcter but still i think the decision and actions in a complicated sitution tells how much impactfull that certain character is


No doubt about this its Askeladd in my opinion

In Vinland Saga so far it's undoubtedly Askeladd. I just caught up with the anime in the manga so don't know Thorfinn might even surpass him later on.From other animes(since u asked) I wanna name Lelouch, Light Yagami, some of the zodiac members from Fruits Basket,Itachi, Hachiman,Pain, Kakashi. I'm interested in Eren Yeager coz of his popularity but am yet to watch AOT,heard he's well written though.

Im at the same point on vinland saga, id like to add Canute for the animanga, ive been told that thorfinn on the arc that is about to come in the second season (farmland arc) he develops a lot and becomes an amazing mc. For the rest, I agree on Light and Askeladd (the rest i havent seen any of them yet) and Eren is one of the best written characters ive seen for now, his development is crazy.

I think Thorfinn is the most well-written in Vinland Saga and at least top 3 in any anime/manga, but a lot of that comes from the next arc.
Other contenders are Guts from Berserk and Okabe from Steins;Gate

Nah Kakashi's entire character arc is far better written than Jiraiya's imo...but such opinions are subjective and differs from person to person so-

I think according to your definition of best written character I would say that the prince who looked like girl would be the write answer. But if I go with my sense of great character I would definitely say thorffin and askeladd.
And as for characters from other series I would say light, levi(if you want to know why? Then just quote my message and ask me), Reiner and eren ofc., Ishida, Ryu (devilman), Sherlock Holmes(Moriarty the Patriot), Joe(Megalo Box),Arima(YLIA) there's a lot more man, I can't even sort out every one of them.

In my opinion, Thorfinn is the most well-written characher in Vinland Saga (manga) but if we're only talking about the anime, then its definitely Askeladd

Yo ya he leído el manga de Vinland y sin duda Askeladd es el mejor, pero después del anime los arcos que vienen Thorfinn tiene un desarrollo sorprendente en mi opinión, hay otros personajes buenos a futuro, pero creo que hablando de desarrollo o que estén mejor escritos que Askeladd o Thorfinn les falta aún.

Pd: espero con ansias el próximo capítulo del manga de Vinland sale este 25 de enero, en el cual después de un tiempo Canute vuelve a aparecer.

When it comes to choosing a best-written character I'd say it's Thorfinn Karlsefni from Vinland Saga, saying this as an anime watcher and manga reader. The building of is his character is just sublime in every way possible.

Eren becomes incoherent at the end of the manga, because all that we currently see is only a facade of his true personality, he who is still an immature brat.

Vinland Saga is full for well written and fun characters but one of my personal favorites is Askeladd. It's hard to consider him an antagonist since he is also one of the primary protagonists. What I like about him is easily the way he is written in the show. He could be a moustache twirling villain who threatens to kill someone for his own amusement, but then all of a sudden, reveals a part of him that changes our view of him like how despite him leading an army of Danes, he in reality despises them and doesn't consider them to be warriors. Askeladd is one of my favorite antagonists out of any anime I've seen and every scene he's in he completely takes the spotlight.

Just as you said, it's Askeladd. I've only watched the anime, so i don't know what's going to happen, but it will definitely be hard to surpass a character like Askeladd.

As for other series, I'd say Lelouch from Code Geass and Koro-sensei from Assasination Classroom.

I agree, plus you might actually wanna give AOT a shot, it's at the peak of it's story and u might enjoy it alot. AOT and Vinland saga are my top two favorites.

Thorfinn is a character who gets really some of the best development in anime/manga. If u need better character than him, you gotta read seinen action Mangas rated higher than Vinland Saga. Truly this revenge redemption story is different from generic revenge stories.

You should definitely read the manga, because I trust the manga more than Mappa.

Nah bro, Thorfinn exceeds Askellad in terms of everything. Yes Askellad is undoubtedly very good written character, but you will change ur own opinion after reading the Slave Arc.

well u can, but the manga is very beautiful, the art is just so magnificent that u will enjoy it. Give it a try, if i remember correctly Slave Arc was something from ch 52 ig,, u can wait for the anime but the manga is better.

Oh and yes, Slave Arc have least action,, it's more of a historical drama,, so don't put high hopes on getting action packed stuff,, u can put high hopes on getting good sad story tho

Askeladd. Though if they're going for the direction of redemption then Thorfinn can potentially take that spot.
