Snake mentioned earlier that he's a warrior of Miklagard. Miklagard means 'the great city' in Norse. That's what the Vikings called Constantinople(now Istanbul in Turkey). Snake was probably part of the 'The Varangians', a battle unit of around 6000 Norse-Rus vikings, who served the emperor Basil II. The Varangians was the highest paid soldiers in Constantinople. Snake must've pissed them off somehow, and then ran away. That's why he's hidding.
@@oe_woo The majority of them was very likely from Sweden, but i'm sure there was Danes and Norwegians too. I believe some kings of Norway(or before they became kings) even served in the The Varangians.
Right now? sure, glad you were specific with words. But i'd probably put Ousama Ranking up there and maybe even Beastars, Bungou stray dogs, Kingdom, Megalo box, Golden kamuy, Great pretender, Jojo's, One Piece and To Your Eternity too
@@GrowingDownUnder I can't really argue with you on that one. We can both have different opinions on basically everything. I can't hate you just because you said what's best for you. You're not my enemy.
@@rui7922 nah I was agreeing with you that vinland saga is peak, but I was saying those other shows also peak too i'd put them up there with vinland saga... I know other people would probably put like made in abyss, re:zero, mushoku tensei, frieren, bleach tybw or oshi no ko up there but I don't really think they're good or peak
Arnheids voice actress is so good that you don't even understand, because the amount of emotions she put into that scene with watching the dishes and also the future episodes she deserves to win best female VA I voted for her
This episode's so impactful, hearing Arnheid cry like that is breaking, Einar always offering to help, Gramps' lessons, Thorfinn waking up to fight. Vinland Saga truly the GOAT.
During the time of romans, dagger were used by highly skilled individuals where due the mastery needed to wield them was commended for their bravery and prowess. Snake probably knew this
Whenever anything related to Snake and the old Master's relationship.. Snake: "I just want to sell the bible after his death" Old Master:"I owe you for reading the bible for me" IT IS JUST SO FUNNY- Like their actions show that their relationship go deeper than the bible but they just use that as a way to describe their relationship cause they are both tsundere(Characters that won't admit their love and care for their loved one because they wanna act all tough) lmao
9:32 It's wild to me how few people comment on how casually Thorfinn steps up into that cart while carrying a man that size. I guess compared to jumping 30+ feet across a moat, or some of the incredible feats of strength and athleticism we saw from Thors, it manages to sneak by without anyone noticing.
There you go Alana “protect the people you love”!!THAT is what Canute came to realize people are ok with hurting people in there own interests people are inherently selfish can are willing to kill to protect what they love, that’s why the priest said the feelings we have for people are discrimination
4:17 Gardar is a cold blooded killer at this point so it makes since Einar asks about that , it doesn't make to release such a person even if that's your husband
About Thorfin being bad for unabling someone to fight , for me that doesn't mean that he is doing something bad , is just like his father in season 1 ep 4
We are deep in a culture of glorifying and desensitizing violence. At the end of this episode, I found myself ticked off at how, in a split second, I got a full body chill and giggling at the epic-ness of seeing Thorfinn with his daggers, after so many episodes of being so engaged with the idea of not hurting anyone and yelling at the TV "Stop fighting and go home, Thorfinn." I understand the situation here and what Thorfinn thinks he's supposed to do for others, but damn, just the sight of Thorfinn being a "badass" makes me think of how many other pieces of media are telling us how "cool" it is to hurt and kill someone if they do it in an epic way.
@@dh5363 Thorfinn is a amazing fighter and people get excited to see it it’s no everyday you see someone like that same reason combat sports are popular
@@AlexTapisevic did you actually watch the vinland saga? "A true warrior doesn't need a sword" that's the exact word in series, repeated again n again. In season 2 thorfinn dream askeladd said "fight your true battle and become a true warrior" which he means to fight a battle inside you and become a pacifist.
If vinland saga season 2 don't win Anime or the year and if they give it to JJK then I'll never ever in my life support crunchyroll don't even like them from the beginning

Did u stop sign of affection reaction?

Precisely! The Rus' people during this time were most likely just Norsemen, perhaps from present-day Sweden.
@@oe_woo Most likely? There is no doubt about it but it was mostly just the ruling class.

Yeah yeah, except he actually mentioned it next episode
@@Bayard1503 True, the Rus' people were indeed Norse
I still get chills when Thorfinn switches to his duel-daggers stance. Its so good.
Its like, the legends reborn
9:51
Thorfin: I didn't hear horses
Alana: 🐎🐎🐎
good one!
I was about to say 😂
hahahaha
Arnheids voice actor is so underrated. The whole dish washing scene is perfect
She is phenomenal for whole season. She and Mahitos voice actor are best voice actors of last year
Thors "I don't need a sword."
Thorfin "I don't need my daggers."
Vinland is the peakest anime out right now. This better win AOTY.
💯

FACTS

Yeah like she could be just chosen as best voice actor in my opinion, but for sure best of women. Imo only Mahitos actor is close or at same level.
This episode's so impactful, hearing Arnheid cry like that is breaking, Einar always offering to help, Gramps' lessons, Thorfinn waking up to fight. Vinland Saga truly the GOAT.
I’m so glad your reacting to this incredible anime this anime changed me so much thank you❤
During the time of romans, dagger were used by highly skilled individuals where due the mastery needed to wield them was commended for their bravery and prowess. Snake probably knew this
There are so many good conversations and moments in every episode
At 9:50, thorfinn mentions a horse, then Alana proceeds to make a horse noise. That caught me off guard 😆
Thorfinn inonic stance has returned❤❤❤❤❤❤
End of that episode gave me CHILLS
I was waiting for your reaction to seeing Askeladd again XD. Did not disappoint.
it's crazy how they manage to fit so much into these short 5 minute episodes
This is really peakland saga
Whenever anything related to Snake and the old Master's relationship..
Snake: "I just want to sell the bible after his death"
Old Master:"I owe you for reading the bible for me"
IT IS JUST SO FUNNY- Like their actions show that their relationship go deeper than the bible but they just use that as a way to describe their relationship cause they are both tsundere(Characters that won't admit their love and care for their loved one because they wanna act all tough) lmao
Of course Thorfinn is half asleep..how else do u think he is seeing Askeladd-
Those are all just Thorfinn's imagination
Best anime of 2023
9:32 It's wild to me how few people comment on how casually Thorfinn steps up into that cart while carrying a man that size.

VINLAND SAGA IS ANIME OF THE YEAR!!!
There you go Alana “protect the people you love”!!THAT is what Canute came to realize people are ok with hurting people in there own interests people are inherently selfish can are willing to kill to protect what they love, that’s why the priest said the feelings we have for people are discrimination
Commenting after 16 seconds from the upload is crazy lmao
Edit: you have no idea how much I've waited fo you to see the fight in the next episode
4:17 Gardar is a cold blooded killer at this point so it makes since Einar asks about that , it doesn't make to release such a person even if that's your husband
I wonder if Snake regrets saving Thorfinn from his men before, there would be no one standing between him and his revenge otherwise.
probably not
Thorfinn rage, insane in s3
2:59
"I helped him escape"
Alana: "Okay, so he escaped on his own"
what?
Bro idk why but my heart sinks Everytime I see askaladd, I miss him.
About Thorfin being bad for unabling someone to fight , for me that doesn't mean that he is doing something bad , is just like his father in season 1 ep 4

Nothing wrong with admiring skill
@@JessYapping Sure, but skill at what exactly?
@@dh5363 Thorfinn is a amazing fighter and people get excited to see it it’s no everyday you see someone like that same reason combat sports are popular
Damn, next episode is so heartbreaking.
Peakland saga
A warrior fights, a pacifist is not a warrior, a true warrior fights for a good cause.
Everyone has different definition of true warrior, in this series it is obvious that a pacifist is considered a true warrior.
@@aniqalam8231 Can you see the dicotomy there? Peace and war, a pacifist cannot be a warrior.
