- Welcome to Everything Great About Vinland Saga's second half! In this video I round up every single great moment I could find throughout episodes 13-24.

wait till he realizes Thorfinn, Thorkell, King Sweyn, "Askeladd"/Lucius Artorius Castus
, and even Prince Canute are all real people
didn't know askeladd was real too.
Well, mostly. Askeladd is a composite character, with his backstory based loosely on a guy called Olaf the Peacock, and personality from thee Scandenavian hero archetype, "Askeladden." And with the others, he took a fair amount of libreties as well, especially with Thorfinn. However, since, despite knowing his birthplace/hometown, roughly the year of his birth, and the names of his parents (his mom was actually named Thorrun, and his dad's name more acurately translates to Thord), we don't actually know anything about his early life, before he arrived in Greenland, so, the story takes advantage of a historic blind spot. However, most people can agree it was "highly unlikely" that he spent his childhood and teens as a viking, or personally knew Cnut the Great, lol (not to mention the events of the Farmland Arc. Also, he wasn't actually related to Thorkell the Tall, but Bjorn Ironsides (a different Bjorn than the one that hung with Askeladd, lol).
@InsideJoke I meant that they were all real people not like same things as the anime
Canute is known as Canute the Great years down the line in history
leif is also a real person just wanna add that he was the viking that descover amrican and named the land they found vinland, they also traded some with the indiginus people and actually called them skraelings rougthly translating to uglies LULZ
Ok i just want to say Rest In Peace askedladd one of the most well written antagonist I’ve ever seen
Not really truly antagonist imo but I get what you’re tryna say
This show is like game of thrones, there are no real antagonists
@@saltysheev5502 Askeladd definitely is the antagonist. This is Thorfinn's story, and the idea of enacting revenge on Askeladd was the only thing that gave him any purpose. Now that Thorfinn failed to kill Askeladd himself, he is forced to move on from that chapter of his life, thus ending the "prologue". Askeladd was indeed the main antagonist of this season.
He was goated asf 😔✊
@@YOU_SHALL_NOW_PASS he is antagonist author confirmed it
better take note the title of the last episode is "End of the Prologue". Hope this astounding anime gets a season 2 soon.
I promise you are in for one pf the best stories pf your lifetime. I have read and re read the manga 4 times now, I genuinely cried multiple times reading it every time. The manga hasn’t finished yet though. The next season won’t be as bloody as the first, but it will be even better.
philtommygino1 I’m assuming that you have read the manga, and truth be told I don’t think that anime only’s will watch a season 2, as there’s not that much combat after the prologue, and most anime onlys are only really here for the combat
Unknqwn Shepherd dont sell anime onlys short, most of the anime onlys I’ve talked to are super into the series and have already wanted to read the manga. So I think people will still enjoy it, especially since the Farmland Arc is fucking amazing
But the farm arc is legit the best arc in the entire series
Unknqwn Shepherd I normally read the manga before watching the anime so that I can judge it better. This time, I hadn’t read the manga for Vinland Saga up until I finished the show. I started straight from chapter 1 and it’s been great so far honestly. I guess it depends on the type of person really.
The horses are alright though, they´re professional stunt horses. The horse that Thorkell punched for example, is named Hest and had done many successful backflips in its career and is far away from retirement.
18:38 To anyone confused basically the chin is a sensitive area for giants and tall people as hitting them there can easily disrupt their balance the taller you are the more sensitive and since Thorkell is one huge giant well you know the rest
Even if you weren't a giant, taking a roundhouse kick like that in the chin would make you tumble down all the same.
Huge is an understatement. His canon hieght is supposedly SEVEN AND A HALF FEET TALL. No wonder a common fan-joke is to play the Attack on Titan theme over the Thorfinn/Thorkell fights (especially since poor Thorfinn is extremely short, being somewhere between 5ft and 5ft 3).
I think Thorkell has a glass jaw
Tall people: He knows to much, kill him.
Yeah basically thorfinn relationship with askeladd can be summed up with one word "complicated"
Vinland Saga is such an underrated anime thanks for reviewing it!
FailGames FailinGamers that’s the thing, even If this wasn’t mainstream enough to gain popularity amongst the seasonal trash anime. The quality of the adaption and the source material will give it longevity compared to other seasonal anime. With how far the source material has come, and how close it is to the last arc of the narrative, this will definitely get a adaption to complete the story. That would cement this as one of the few stories that does justice to the history it was based upon.
At the end of episode 14 (182nd win) Anne said she felt elated or her heart was beating quickly, that happened because she was secretly happy that there are terrible people like the Danes and her crime of stealing the ring wasn't big at all and she has a chance to go to heaven
Or perhaps because of the Danes' actions she fears God less now, after all if they do terrible things like it's nothing maybe God doesn't care that much? This is what I love about Vinland Saga, nothing has a clear answer.
@@anitaremenarova6662 Agreed. Honestly I think it's all of the above.
Also that if God let something that horrible happen, then maybe God didn't care so much as she thought.
Make no mistake. Thorfinn definitely wanted to kill Askeladd but he wanted to do it in a duel. Killing him any other way would have taking the meaning from it. I knew the moment he joined Askeladd’s band that he was going to be robbed of his revenge. He needed to realize the futility of this pursuit and I think killing Askeladd out of a sense of vengeance would not have let him see that.
I honestly thought he would use the knowledge of his past against him just like Askeladd did to Thorfinn a bunch of episodes back. I didn't expect the ending but it was better than what I envisioned.
Close. He actually did realise that Askeladd was a bit like a father figure to him at times as well, but only fully realised it after he died (the later story cements this), so, those feelings combined with losing what had been his life's purpose for 11 years (honorably defeating and killing Askeladd in a duel to avenge his father Thors) ended up just completely breaking the poor boy there at the end. When you next see Thorfinn (after a small 1 year timeskip), it's just...*OUCH*. I can't really describe it any other way without spoiling.
I agree with the above. While Thorfinn as a child believed fill heartedly that he hated and despised Askeladd, that man still raised him. That man, for better or worse, was his whole world. So it's definitely more complicated than "I need to be the one who kills him." Though it's that too.
The ironic thing is, Askeladd kinda was an father figure, and mentor to Thorfinn. Without anybody really realizing it.
You don’t just randomly say sorry for having heart issues! Don’t push yourself, I hope you are feeling better and take as much of a break as you need we will be here!
Thorfinn probably just considered askedladd as just his father’s killer, but has the years went by, he truly cared for him. He was truly sad when askedladd was dying at the end of the season.
A lot of people tend to think he was a "father figure" to him which is ultimately not true. Sure, Askeladd sometimes tried but it always went right over his head. Beating Askeladd in a duel was Thorfinn's sole purpose in life, it was what he lived for. When that was taken from him he was understandingly devastated but that doesn't mean he ever gave a shit about Askeladd as a person.
@@anitaremenarova6662 That's actually wrong, he did come to care about Askeladd as a person, and at the least, a kind of mentor, if not outright father figure. The manga, especially after the prolouge, makes it a bit more clear. In the next arc, in fact, Thorfinn outright says that he "no longer hates him," and there are some other, more spoiler-ish things which highlight this as well.
That's not even the end of the story, just the prologue. The characters in the end will be shown in the second season.
I cried for Bjorn in the manga and in the anime more than any other character in fiction. It just hit me that hard.
In the Manga Thorkell ends up saying that his refusing to follow Thors that night is his one regret in life.
The most interesting part for me was the fact this story is grounded in real history, and Canute was one of the worst, most tyrannical kings in history, so his development from when he was introduced was always going to be interesting, and from the manga damn it was.
Fun fact about second ED, “Drown”, it is a song about sensation of dying. Well fitted when You put it next to the whole “time of twilight” or “Ragnarok” theme, and brutal times where people die everywhere all the time.
That last scene ... That last scene ! THAT ! LAST ! SCENE ! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I can't wait for season 2 !!
"EVERYONE IT'S REUNION O'CLOCK" is propably my favorite quote from this 😂 I absolutely love reunion moments in anime in general, espiecially when they happen years after characters last meeting and screaming this quote perfectly replicates my emotions in moments like this 😂
so, no comment about this being just the f**king prologue? these 24 episodes, which contained more character building and plot than some finished shows are just the prologue? i thunk that that should be like THE ULTIMATE WIN
Oh the character building gets so much better trust me
@@mikeman9090 I know. I've read the manga to the current point. That was simply me stating how this show surpasses many other finished shows with just the prologue
@@valikoest7981 oh I see
He didn’t give a win for the rotating affect while describing thorfinn’s dad. I say that was deserving of a win
You know.. Almost every damn scene in vinland saga is a win
Askedladd is the mvp of the show
yeah in the end askesladd basically told him you are living in my story so far now you need to go create your own.
Gotta say, this ending is a rare case where it's even more impactful if you've read ahead in the manga. You really see how far Thorfinn has come from the little kid who wanted to go sailing. And those characters at the end, man... Seeing them in this episode caught me off guard and made me cry even more because they're among some of the best characters in the series and I can't wait to see more of them, especially the guy on the slave ship. Also, fair warning to anime-onlys: next season won't be very action-oriented at all, at least not until pretty far in. This is a drama series first and foremost, so keep that in mind.
I also think his letting go of the weapon and holding out his hand means he no longer tried to kill him, just save him
I don't think so, he tried to beat him in a fair duel but while trying to accomplish that for most of his life he didn't ahead of what he would do afterwards, that's why he is so lost at the end.
It's actually meant to symbolise him letting go of his past hate and anger, and turning away from a life of endless violence, and to stop letting his past and his anger from it control him. The knife represents his hate and anger.
Something I realized recently was that when thorkell punched towards canut. Thorkell has one eye so no depth perception, so he could have just punched him in the face.
Oh god I shed so many damn tears over Askeladd’s death
Me: *about to sleep*
ANW: *uploads*
Me: welp i guess i can stay up a little while longer.
imagine not subscribing to this man.
Askeladd will forever be remembered as one of the greatest characters to ever exist. I, for one, will never forget his epic tale.
the people at the end are people that will play a VERY important part in Thorfinn's journey moving forward.
22:20. Its kind by our standards but by Viking standards its an insult. He is basically telling him you will never go to Valhalla. The Dane pursuit of heroic blood and death is wrong. Go and stop being one. Rebuke this culture just like me. I think it fits perfectly to his character and by how he might have already decided his own fate (so who cares about gold).
In the same breath he is also paying homage to Thors because that is exactly what he did. Stopped fighting got some sheep had kids. A great man casts a large shadow and there's this thing about shadows. They can overlap.
Let's pray that the rest of the manga gets animated 🙏🏼✊🏼
As a Norwegian i rely wish they could make a Norwegian dub of vinland saga
I feel as a swedish person i kinda want a swedish dub to
my theory is that the people at the end are Thorfinn's compagnion as he sail to Vinland because, i mean, the name of the anime is Vinland Saga
This is actually correct, they're new characters that are introduced over the next 2 arcs (it's uh, actually going to be kind of awhile before they get to the "sailing to Vinland" part).
@@AnInsideJoke "a while" well... just few arcs, that havent even finished....
16:47 The moment Prince Giorno became a Gang-Star!
I just can't wait for Season 2, 'cause they're gonna adapt my favourite arc. It's sooooooooo good
12:51 actually it’s more than that,after a while his vengeance was the only thing he strived for and the only thing he lived for. He doesn’t realize how dependent he’s been on that sole purpose to kill askeladd to the point where he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do after his death
I searched this up, to see if he’d posted part two, expecting him not to have, I am pleasantly surprised as this is one of my favourite anime’s
I love the inclusion of bloopers in your videos.
The essence of love is death, and it is death that completes a man. A man completed by love is a true warrior.
The moment after Bjorn's death was when Askellad became a true warrior. He threw away his sword and just beat up Thorfinn bare handed. He finally understood what Thors was saying and is secretly hoping Thorfinn does too. That moment is beautiful to me
Nope, yet another person who completely misunderstood Thors' motto. "A true warrior doesn't need a sword" means a true warrior doesn't ever have to fight, not that a true warrior should only use his hands to fight. He says in one of the first episodes "I'm yet not a master, that's why I still need my sword" which refers to him having to result to armed conflict despite trying to flee from it for many years.
@@anitaremenarova6662 I know that's what he meant. Askellad just needed to show Thorfinn first and the only way to do that was to fight. I think him throwing away his sword was supposed to be a reminder for him that this fight was pointless, but Thorfinn didn't get it. He is in the same spot Askellad was in when fighting Thors. I know a true warrior means that there is no need for fighting in the first place
I think a big point was missed here, and that was that Thorfinn didn't really want to kill Askeladd. He was angry at the world, but he wasn't angry at him, he never really wanted to kill him. And that is why he never could.
Askeladd told Thorfinn pretty much the same thing, that if he really wanted him dead, he would have simply killed him in his sleep. But Thorfinn wanted to be better than Askeladd. And the final moments were showing that Thorfinn, in some ways, had always been a better person than Askeladd, but a weaker man.
But is that so bad?
He definitely wanted to kill him, it's just that he didn't want to stoop down to his level. He wanted to kill him but also stay morally right which he twisted so much with how many lives he has taken it means nothing now. In the end the real reason he could never beat him in a duel is that he would always lose track of everything he has learned with how much the thirst for blood would overwhelm him. In other fights he could always win because the people meant nothing to him.
I think he unconsciously didn't want to kill him, but more because killing him was his whole world. He was running away from living a life and facing the reality of his actions and the loss of his father and innocence. He didn't want to face it. As long as Askeladd was alive, he could hide in his obsession with revenge.
Askeladd giving his life away was also giving Thorfinn his life back.
I like to think that Askeladd adopted both Thorfinn and Canute, and have them both final gifts.
Canute, the crown. Thorfinn, freedom from hatred.
He also saved Wales and honored his mother.
Askeladd was an amazing character.
Askeladd is one of my favorites! I wish they had kept him around longer
22:15 I think he doesn’t actually hate Danes but just vikings, wich is why he’s telling him to stop being one and live a normal life
Great job on this video! Vinland saga displays storytelling in such an interesting and complex way like you've mentioned, and for that I really enjoyed watching this anime as well as the development for certain characters. It manages to be somewhat realistic while still being an anime. With that being said, I really hope you decided to make a wins video for Vinland saga season 2!!!
34:29 it's not that Thorfinn wants to kill askeladd outright, he specifically wants to defeat him in a duel. Just killing Askeladd is not want he wants, so he keeps Askeladd alive long enough for him to eventually win a duel. It's how Askeladd has been able to use Thorfinn in promise of future duels.
Over 300 wins and you know its an absolutly great anime
Win 299: Canute taking his rightful place as King after all of this time feels like such a great real life character arc!
I absolutely agree with you there, loved his character progression throughout the series.
Also, spoilers I guess? But you can follow his progress historically in videos such as here:

Was fascinated with him here as a character, here's to those curious about him as a historical figure :)
P.S.
Hoping you can do Kaguya S2 sometime in the future
Ya boy Ishigami's grown a lot since last time ;)

Amazing Vid! Vinland saga is one of my underrated favorites! New sub
Also, I've watched the Sin for Death Parade, and i was wondering if you would ever make a Win for that anime?
Throfinn wanted to kill Askeladd in a 1v1, because its more honourable than killing him in his sleep or mid battle
Best 2019 anime
Change my mind !
2nd best. Mob Psycho II was a bit better
@@juniorbash no
I swear to god I never seen the first win count but this video got my attention and sub....oh wait I’m already sub
Thanks as always for the video, this anime is fantastic, one of my personal favorites and I loved seeing your reaction and comments on it
You have done it again. You made me laugh, enjoy and appreciate this. Know what? ITS TIME TO SUBSCRIBE!
I would really love to see you do the Ascendancy of a Bookworm series. It's SO good and just finished it's first full season today.
I'm sinning it, but sadly there wasnt enough interest from the community tab to get a Wins version, sorry mate.
@@AnimeSinsNEW well that's one way to see it at least
Now I can't wait to see what happens next especially for King Canute 'The Great'.
it's animated by the wit studio (aot producer) so it's obliously great!
Askeladd is one of the greatest, respect.
As for win 211 i think he sort of is racing to protect his father. Thorkell sees killing Askelad as the only way to make up for his father's death and let him rest in peace. If someone else kills him Thorkell will not be able to accomplish his goal. There will also be no point to literally everything Thorkell has done since his father's death if Askelad dies by someone else's hand.
Fuck I forgot how sad the ending was man I be shedding more than a tear for that shit
Anime of the year bb
I still can't believe it ended like this😭😭😭😭
Prepared for this to be a long running series
Talking about the newly released S2
Now, it makes sense at the end, where it shows those people, as the slave on the ship is at the end of S1 and the beginning of S2.
12:50 Yeah, it kinda seems like that to me, too
Also, Askellad's death scene is framed eerily similar to thors', with the light n such
Vinland Saga was without a doubt AOTY 2019
Bruhh... You're amazing 😁🙏🏻
Man after reading the manga I can not wait for the next season
I finished the anime and caught up to the manga weeks ago but I couldn't get enough and missed it so started watching ut vids.
ayo man thanks these two parts were so good in terms of experiencing almost everything again and enjoying feeling the same for most of the parts
like 20:03 SAME SAME
like I don't really like seeing characters KILL a lot but like askeladd and thorkell AND Thorfinn are just such weirdly interesting characters that like... you want them to get along, live and do whatever they do
but ofc hehe... still the story alone is great and adding the whole amazing animation n sounds ooof
26:30 This scene hit so different if u read the manga to ongoing chapter maaaan
I knew as soon as you started talking about the o p you were going to gush over the map. 😏
I hope they really do the next story arc right :D. Granted its not done the manga is crazy at the momment
From what I experienced thus far, being a "true Warrior", who doesn't need a sword, Thorfinn's Father being one of them, means realizing that everyone on the battlefield is a living person with a family they want to return to. The ones with power and greed never set foot on a battlefield but send out people whose faces they don't even know. Being a true warrior means hating to kill, valuing the life of comrades and enemies alike. That's, too, why his father told Thorfinn, he "doesn't have any enemies"
Just a suggestion: Everything great about Lupin the Third
To be honest I don't think Canute is the "rightful" king seeing as he is the youngest of the 2 brothers and has less recognition than his older brother but maybe it's done differently in that culture. Love your videos!!!
If the anime to manga quality stays consistent... Then s1 will be the worst season of vinland because season 2, 3, 4 and 5 (maybe) will be beyond phenomenal
Also, askeladd is the best father figure in anime
Change my mind
I wouldn't say best in anime. For his time period and culture though, he was absolutely best dad, since half the time dudes didn't even always know how many kids they even HAD half the time, much less being involved much in their lives. Meanwhile, here's Askeladd adopting a kid who keeps trying to knife him, and he tries to actively teach him stuff throughout his life.
Unknqwn Shepherd Reigen from Mob Psycho
It’s weird that you didn’t understand that Thorfinn wanted to kill Askelaad in a duel.
And just like that prologue is finished
Thorkell's weakness is his jaw possibly because that's where Thors hit him to knock him out
I’m wondering if he’ll do avatar if someone asks for it, it isn’t anime but it has a lot of it’s elements 😏
Amazing series! nuf said.
I just finished Vineland Saga so I was very sad during this :’D
