Askeladd deserves his own episode, killing the king was the tip of the iceberg. Man searched for a good leader his whole life, got tired and _raised_ his own king since everyone else was too incompetent for him. And his backstory. He was casually advicing Thorfinn how to kill him.

this show is the living embodiment of today’s ‘villain arc’ to peace, filling the hole of your emptiness after you’ve used up all of your hatred and anger
Askeladd was and always will be morally gray at best. He always fought to protect Wales and has Heroic and villainous elements. (And he's only villainous cause his means for his good intentions are so fucked up)
The meaning behind Thors death is actually a masterpiece. Askeladd didn't want to kill Thors, he HAD to because as a LEADER of Norse Pirates, he would have lost respect from all his crew members. It was revealed in the show later how most of them tried to go behind his back from finding one of his weaknesses as well. Thors realized it as well and he basically indirectly told Askeladd to raise Thorfinn. Askeladd throughout the show started to get more fond of him. But the reason he did everything was to kill the king to get revenge for his family. While doing so, he basically gave Thorfinn the biggest lesson which is that living by the sword will make you die by one. The psychology behind some scenes were immaculate and I happened to pick up on it quite well! It was an amazing show , one of the best to date.
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?" ~ Shakespeare
Thorfin development was beautiful going from a one minded cold blooded assassin to someone who has to atone for their sins but yet still value life .. masterpiece ⚔️
Well the one issue I had with Thorfin was how he was a pacifist which I understand the no killing rule, perfectly understand that. That made sense but I did not understand the no fighting rule. He could still fight and defeat individuals with none lethal means. I mean hell the thing that defeated Thorkell was a knock-out punch to the chin. If it can work against him it can work against anyone. That could also be a means for him to change the minds of vikings wanting to fight for entertainment like Thorkell by telling them that if they kill their opponents all the time they will run out of people to fight but if you keep them alive they will get stronger to fight you again and the same vice versa. Just my two cents.
12:41 funnily enough that’s actually pretty accurate for what viking long boats could do. Their design allowed them to go in knee high water and were light enough that the crew could actually carry the whole thing and carry it to another body of water if need be. I’ll put my glasses down now.
Its the one action that makes askeladd on the evil side for me otherwise id say hes more of chaotic neutral. Most everything else he did wasnt that big a deal or was understandable
Let's not forget that Askellad went from a bastard son to a trusted son, only for him to murder his dad in his sleep and putting the blame on one of his half-brothers who was later hanged, letting Askellad get away with murder. And this revenge plot took only a little over a year, versus to Thorfinn's decade-long vendetta. Askellad kindly told Thorfinn that over-complicating your revenge is pointless.
@@seg162 Yes, that's an anime exclusive. The anime does do a solid job filling in the gaps without conflicting wuth the manga. I am stiil so disappointed in the Thorkell mind-break scene. Sure, he looks menacing af but in the manga what the poor dude sees is the most horrific monster from the hood of Jotunheim.
You have to give it to Askellad, he had complete control untill the very end where the king gave him an impossible choice and instead of picking a loose loose situation he looked an Cnutt and went "Fuck this shit im picking option C"
Askellad had one of the most depressing childhoods and became the man he was because of that circumstance. People say "You live by the sword, you die by the sword.", but there are people like Askellad were forced into it.
In fairness, its not really a moral judgement for getting into the career. Just a warning to people about the job hazards and telling them its probably a good idea to look for another kind of work if you are lucky enough to have options.
Thorkell sniping that dude with a spear was the equivalent to tossing a tomahawk on nuketown right when you spawn in and killing someone on the other side of the map

Askeladd isnt a good man wtf are you on. Dude killed innocent people on the daily. You cant call someone a good man because some of his beliefs are good in your opinion like wtf is that reasoning. If we start to reason like that then everyone is good because someone thinks so. His whole life revolved around revenge and hatred nothing else.
@davidallen7097 that daughter is 'he' but the mother(Thorkell wife) claimed the son to be 'she' so she can protect the child from thorkell taking he to war.

wait till you find out we used to fucking rap battle at the tables in the longhouse. it was called flyting. it was viking rap and rap battles. never fkn guessed my ancestors rapped. had braids and dreads, sometimes combed their hair. and known for being tall and athletically gifted and strong. and had blue eyes and blonde hair at the same time.
12:50 more accurately askeladd asked for half the spoils of the win in exchange for help! The fat guy got the glory and town, Askeladd and crew got the treasure. Moral of the story: Make sure you get what you want exactly laid out, cause otherwise you’ll get screwed over!
There is a story about a greenlander befriending a Viking. And the viking just one day says he wants to climb a mountain, have an archery contest and then throw himself of the mountain afterwards. The Greenlander is like "what" And then the viking just does. Vikings didn't need a reason to die I guess.
Well they don't need to turn back time. They just need to erase parts of your memory. You could probably do it with a car battery. But I wouldn't recommend it because you can die. There probably exists some drug that can do it too, but I don't know. You best bet for erasing your memory that I know of would have to hypnosis done by a professional. Good luck finding one.
Bro you gotta ve on it I got 6 gaming videos to finish editing and I'm waaaaayyyy behind lol work is work but its worth it keep up the good videos everyone
You know this man has good "storytelling" when he can make you excited to watch him recount the events of an anime you already know mad spoilers for. Also lmao the SPONGEBOB music when Thorkell went on a rampage. Amazing OST choice.
Thors was the strongest person in that show, it was merely because he chose not to kill anymore that Askeladd got him, well that and the fact his son was taken hostage by Askeladd's 2nd in command. But even still Askeladd was also a savage for most of the show, and more than that, he was smart too. He knew that Thors could've killed them all if he wasn't holding back, it's the only reason he was hired in the first place. Cause the one dude was too scared to actually fight him, cause he thought he'd lose all his men in the fight and maybe die himself. Thorkell is also the 2nd strongest person in the show, dude chucked trees and boulders like it was nothing. Changed sides to fight for the losing side because he thought it'd be more fun, and did a whole bunch of crazy things. The only real downside is that knowing how strong Thors is, and that they basically had to kill him off for the show to even progress because he was literally too strong for anyone to beat, meant he didn't get to stay for more one man army moments. I mean you have to also think how bad any enemies had it when Thors and Thorkell were fighting together against them. Forget needing an army they basically clean house by themselves, you do not want to be on the other side of that tag team.
You have to put a spoiler warning here bro, I just finished that arc, and I initially saw this comment beforehand, and I gotta say… This did NOT go down at all the way I thought it was going too😭 And I wouldn’t exactly say she wanted the the most smoke from him… But Respect to Gudrid though.
@@kingvamp. It must be a little tiring for him to voice act for everyone. At least he should hire some females to voice act for the female characters during the video.
And the craziest thing about Thorkell is he is 50 years old which means has passed his prime 20 years ago, imagine when he was in his 20s and 30s. My God
Thorkell was simply called "The Tall" because "The Man So Giant it Takes Two Horses to Move Him." Was a bit too much of a mouthful. Thats a historical fact, man was so big there wasn't a horse in all of Denmark that could carry him so he had to ride a chariot instead.
1.I love that this analysis is just as much about Thors, Thorfinn and Thorkell as it was about Askeladd, which is pretty fitting tbh. 2. Thorfinn's character arc was phenomenal and the fact that its not even over yet, my personal favorite segments of the manga are yet to come, is amazing.
"Haven't you heard, I'm Sakamoto" he'd probably the gentleman of the Round table, how can you be such a savage yet such a nice guy even to your enemies while looking like a cross between Sebastián from black butler and Ignis from FF15?
Man I thought youtube didn't have creators like this anymore. Haven't seen content this rich with creativity and entertainment since 2015. Thank you for redeeming my faith in this dry ass website.
Great video as always. He definitely could have added more. Like Thors sleeping Thorkell with one punch, Thors coaching Askeladd on what a warrior is and telling him multiple times he still trash because he still lost the fair fight against him and had to sneak him to kill him, Askeladd whole plot on how he killed his bastard father.
The Vinland saga - an anime is somehow more historically and aesthetically accurate than most, if not all other Viking media to date. As someone that has north Germanic heritage, I never realized how much I needed this show to come out 😂
Canute earned a spot for his season 2 antics as well ngl. No way can a man burn a massive bonfire in front of the enemy general, tell him its a vision of the future and not get a seat at the round table
Thorkell is literally Hercules if he was battle hungry and lives in a world where mythical creatures don’t exist, hell I honestly doubt there will be any person besides thorfinn who had the guidance of askeladd that can successfully defeat him.🐱
15:02 is my favorite part of the vid, I love the Spongebob music playing in the background as if it was a normal Tuesday for Thorkell and the Blockhead. The scene basically plays out as if its a boss trying to ask an employee who quits work to comeback.
The scene that gets me every time is when thorkell bust in on the couple arguing in their house like "I heard fighting in here! Scrap?" And then later fainted........,........ From too much peace lol
"So this man Thorfinn started fighting the boss fight of his life. But I ain't gonna lie, he started off nice." You know shit gets real when CJ starts narrating in bars.
I don't know why it's so comforting to me that Askeladd is the king of the BAF1 roundtable. I saw CJ's Madara BAF1 vid months ago and he called Madara the vice-president of the table, so that made me wonder who the leader had to be. It genuinely is what got me into his channel because I ended up searching through all of the videos to find who it was. So finally I have my answer and it had to be from my favorite anime. I had the feeling he was gonna label him as the leader the moment I heard that og rap music playing as his ship pulled up. Thank you CJ for choosing from my favorite anime.
I feel like Askeladd would be playing everyone on the table against each other without anyone realizing that it's happening while he's just propped up in his chair watching the chaos.
@@williamgray7942 With homies like Madara and Aizen, i dunno. Also, ain't nobody gonna do anything around the President - Kid Buu can and will blow up the place. And THEN go to Valhalla and run that fade again.
@Demonboy007 I don't think Askeladd would have to do much. Just a slight nudge and Madara and Aizen would be plotting and backstabbing each other and everybody else would devolve into chaos trying to prove who's Goated. And even if Askeladd dies, he just finds himself a perch to watch the show.
He literally turns every anime into a hidden episode of The Boondocks

Surprised he didn’t mention that on the video. Dude was literally giving him lessons mid fight on how to beat him. Black air force af

Askeladd isnt a good man wtf are you on. Dude killed innocent people on the daily. You cant call someone a good man because some of his beliefs are good in your opinion like wtf is that reasoning. If we start to reason like that then everyone is good because someone thinks so. His whole life revolved around revenge and hatred nothing else.
Wait he got a daughter
That man askeladd will always be a bitch in my mind
Yeah he had a daughter that was real fact
@davidallen7097 that daughter is 'he' but the mother(Thorkell wife) claimed the son to be 'she' so she can protect the child from thorkell taking he to war.

Not gonna lie the fact that Thorkill the Tall actually existed in real life is even more terrifying.
Indeed. People weren't all that tall those days, so seeing a vicious 7 foot 7 inch freak like Thorkill must have been a nightmare.
@@EmptyMan000nah , if I saw that I'm going home , fuck Valhalla and shit , I'm not dealing with HIM today
Thorkell the Tall is such a badass name fr like if i hear im fighting a mf named thorkell the tall in the battlefield i aint fighting
So did thorfinn...

Fun fact: prior to the creation of black air forces, the phrase was actually “black Viking shoe energy”
wait till you find out we used to fucking rap battle at the tables in the longhouse.
it was called flyting. it was viking rap and rap battles.
never fkn guessed my ancestors rapped. had braids and dreads, sometimes combed their hair. and known for being tall and athletically gifted and strong. and had blue eyes and blonde hair at the same time.
@@magnipettersson4432 looked up flyting and holy shii they really did rap battle 😭
12:50 more accurately askeladd asked for half the spoils of the win in exchange for help!
The fat guy got the glory and town, Askeladd and crew got the treasure. Moral of the story: Make sure you get what you want exactly laid out, cause otherwise you’ll get screwed over!

There is a story about a greenlander befriending a Viking. And the viking just one day says he wants to climb a mountain, have an archery contest and then throw himself of the mountain afterwards. The Greenlander is like "what" And then the viking just does. Vikings didn't need a reason to die I guess.
Someone turn back time so i can relive the absolute hilarious masterpieces that are CJ's videos. I want that "first time experience" laughter again
Right? The funniest part is how accurate the whole thing is to the show
Bruh this is my first time watching his videos
Well they don't need to turn back time. They just need to erase parts of your memory. You could probably do it with a car battery. But I wouldn't recommend it because you can die. There probably exists some drug that can do it too, but I don't know. You best bet for erasing your memory that I know of would have to hypnosis done by a professional. Good luck finding one.
I'm doing my own editing, I use to wonder why you pop these out only once a month. Now doing it myself, I applaud you for the consistency.
It’s so true. Editing is so difficult and time consuming
From what I've seen, once a creator gets big enough, they outsource that shit ASAP
Hey
Bro you gotta ve on it I got 6 gaming videos to finish editing and I'm waaaaayyyy behind lol work is work but its worth it keep up the good videos everyone
14:15 7,7? BRO THE LAKERS NEED A CENTER
They had dwight bussy howard!
Thorkell the prime example of "If this man slaps your women's ass, what would you do?" 😂😂😂
Well , I'm not gonna get killed over some girl , she is on her own
I'mma call the hospital cause I know that smack sent her ass flying 50 meters
Go out in a blaze of glory 😂
Man he could kidnap her and I’m still going bout my day like nothing happen
bros so strong he can use various objects as a sniper 💀 I’m good
When I first saw Askeladd, I thought he was going to be a sneaky coward, instead he's a sneaky bad ass that stole my heart.
goddamn man me too, an absolute IRL escape from tarkov rat and demon but a demon that became my favorite character
If "That bad boy charm" was a person.
When the world needed him most: He returned...
i lost it at the end with the "bro stop the violence"
You know this man has good "storytelling" when he can make you excited to watch him recount the events of an anime you already know mad spoilers for.
Also lmao the SPONGEBOB music when Thorkell went on a rampage. Amazing OST choice.
Thors was the strongest person in that show, it was merely because he chose not to kill anymore that Askeladd got him, well that and the fact his son was taken hostage by Askeladd's 2nd in command. But even still Askeladd was also a savage for most of the show, and more than that, he was smart too. He knew that Thors could've killed them all if he wasn't holding back, it's the only reason he was hired in the first place. Cause the one dude was too scared to actually fight him, cause he thought he'd lose all his men in the fight and maybe die himself. Thorkell is also the 2nd strongest person in the show, dude chucked trees and boulders like it was nothing. Changed sides to fight for the losing side because he thought it'd be more fun, and did a whole bunch of crazy things. The only real downside is that knowing how strong Thors is, and that they basically had to kill him off for the show to even progress because he was literally too strong for anyone to beat, meant he didn't get to stay for more one man army moments. I mean you have to also think how bad any enemies had it when Thors and Thorkell were fighting together against them. Forget needing an army they basically clean house by themselves, you do not want to be on the other side of that tag team.
Saying Thorfinn went from NBA Youngboy to MLK is the most accurate shit ever 💀
This is my favorite video on yt rn
22:40 Bruh, nobody in this show wanted THORKELL's Smoke except for Gudrid,
She had more balls than anyone in Vinland Saga, give my girl some respect😤
Gudrid is goated in general fr fr
You have to put a spoiler warning here bro, I just finished that arc, and I initially saw this comment beforehand, and I gotta say…
This did NOT go down at all the way I thought it was going too😭
And I wouldn’t exactly say she wanted the the most smoke from him… But Respect to Gudrid though.
@@king__T sorry😭
Thorfinn💀
He's voice acting is top tier along with his story telling
He should hire some people to voice act now.
@@emircanozad914he doesn't need to.
@@kingvamp. It must be a little tiring for him to voice act for everyone. At least he should hire some females to voice act for the female characters during the video.
@@emircanozad914nah
And the craziest thing about Thorkell is he is 50 years old which means has passed his prime 20 years ago, imagine when he was in his 20s and 30s. My God
Thank you for doing this one! Your video got me to watch the series, and DAMN!!!!! Vineland Saga is magnificent!!!!!!!!!
Thorkell was simply called "The Tall" because "The Man So Giant it Takes Two Horses to Move Him." Was a bit too much of a mouthful.
Thats a historical fact, man was so big there wasn't a horse in all of Denmark that could carry him so he had to ride a chariot instead.
*NAH.*
Who fights this person...

@@mrcaia.8012 I don’t know ‘bout you, but he sounds like a guaranteed ticket to Valhalla, so I’d guess every tenth viking.
He’s Not The Hero We Wanted,But He Is The Hero We Needed
1.I love that this analysis is just as much about Thors, Thorfinn and Thorkell as it was about Askeladd, which is pretty fitting tbh.
2. Thorfinn's character arc was phenomenal and the fact that its not even over yet, my personal favorite segments of the manga are yet to come, is amazing.
"Haven't you heard, I'm Sakamoto" he'd probably the gentleman of the Round table, how can you be such a savage yet such a nice guy even to your enemies while looking like a cross between Sebastián from black butler and Ignis from FF15?
Man I thought youtube didn't have creators like this anymore. Haven't seen content this rich with creativity and entertainment since 2015.
Thank you for redeeming my faith in this dry ass website.

Great video as always. He definitely could have added more. Like Thors sleeping Thorkell with one punch, Thors coaching Askeladd on what a warrior is and telling him multiple times he still trash because he still lost the fair fight against him and had to sneak him to kill him, Askeladd whole plot on how he killed his bastard father.
The Vinland saga - an anime is somehow more historically and aesthetically accurate than most, if not all other Viking media to date. As someone that has north Germanic heritage, I never realized how much I needed this show to come out 😂
Even the children😢 20:46
Canute earned a spot for his season 2 antics as well ngl. No way can a man burn a massive bonfire in front of the enemy general, tell him its a vision of the future and not get a seat at the round table
He looked at the small hill of loot they were offering him in exchange for leaving them alone and said "Bitch, do I look like a cheap hooker to you?"
Imagine how insane Askeladd would be if he was called Thorskeladd! ☠
22:48 Thorkell such a menace he got Askeladd on his knees praying to live
I cried laughing so damn hard this entire video. Thanks dude. You are amazing and so freaking needed.

@@McDonalds439Is there a problem with them being here?
My favorite thing about when Thorkell was introduced in the show was immediately being able to recognize the Japanese VA of Blackbeard from One Piece
This man's videos are masterpieces
Thorkell is literally Hercules if he was battle hungry and lives in a world where mythical creatures don’t exist, hell I honestly doubt there will be any person besides thorfinn who had the guidance of askeladd that can successfully defeat him.🐱
Well there’s a dude in the manga who stalemates Thorkell without even his signature weapon so he’s close

15:02 is my favorite part of the vid, I love the Spongebob music playing in the background as if it was a normal Tuesday for Thorkell and the Blockhead.
The scene basically plays out as if its a boss trying to ask an employee who quits work to comeback.
Askeladd: The Man Who Ran Pockets
Thors: The Viking Whitebeard
Thorfinn: The Teenage Menace
Thorkell: Mount Savagery
18:03
"We're done. Nope. Nope."
Couldn't agree more
I love that he kept hitting em with the Kratos “BOY” 😂 5:05
The scene that gets me every time is when thorkell bust in on the couple arguing in their house like "I heard fighting in here! Scrap?" And then later fainted........,........ From too much peace lol
"So this man Thorfinn started fighting the boss fight of his life. But I ain't gonna lie, he started off nice."
You know shit gets real when CJ starts narrating in bars.
ive rewatched this video so many times im questioning my sanity
The way you tell this story we need an abridged version of the show from you
I'm picturing Askeladd’s just having a seat next to him, with a note saying 'Thorfinn' on the table. Nobody can take that seat.
Facts 😂
Greatest survival tactic in Vinland saga : avoid anyone with “thor” in their name
all of your videos on anime i haven't watched yet makes me want to watch every last one of them
19:04 Mans really told a whole army "No balls." 💀
I don't know why it's so comforting to me that Askeladd is the king of the BAF1 roundtable.
I saw CJ's Madara BAF1 vid months ago and he called Madara the vice-president of the table, so that made me wonder who the leader had to be. It genuinely is what got me into his channel because I ended up searching through all of the videos to find who it was. So finally I have my answer and it had to be from my favorite anime. I had the feeling he was gonna label him as the leader the moment I heard that og rap music playing as his ship pulled up. Thank you CJ for choosing from my favorite anime.
You clearly haven't seen his Majin Buu video. He straight up says that pink menace is the president of the black air force table.
@@VampiricDragon666I thought Alucard was the one that ran shit around the place.
I feel like Askeladd would be playing everyone on the table against each other without anyone realizing that it's happening while he's just propped up in his chair watching the chaos.
@@williamgray7942 With homies like Madara and Aizen, i dunno. Also, ain't nobody gonna do anything around the President - Kid Buu can and will blow up the place. And THEN go to Valhalla and run that fade again.
@Demonboy007 I don't think Askeladd would have to do much. Just a slight nudge and Madara and Aizen would be plotting and backstabbing each other and everybody else would devolve into chaos trying to prove who's Goated. And even if Askeladd dies, he just finds himself a perch to watch the show.
man the part when he said "THIS MAN SHORYUKEN THE HORSE!!!!" gets me everytime bruh🤣🤣🤣
13:45 one of the funniest videos I’ve watched in ages😂😂
