Well, Thorfinn learned important things from Askeladd. For example he learned that, if one has a dream in mind, s/he has to take the burden to make it real, because there are no heroes or gods available to carry out the job. Thorfinn succeeded where his father failed because he learned that lesson, and took the burden to make the world a better place. In a way, he has now become the legendary hero of the Welsh people, a rightful leader reigning on a peaceful island far away in the West.
Next is Vagabond. It will be an experience on the spiritual level.
Love Vinland Saga. Askelaad, Thors, Thorfinn, Thorkell, The Joms Vikings, Love?!?! Vinland Saga is the story of every man. All that war and violence is a sad game by sad ppl to create more sad ppl. What a wonderful manga. YOU HAVE NO ENEMIES
Throfinn with sharp pointy thing in early chapters: 😡🩸😈🗡
Throfinn with sharp pointy thing in late chapters: 🤑💰💵💸
I think Vinland Saga is a perfect “first manga”. Really good art work and fantastic paneling so it’s really easy on the eyes. It also has a good story with something in it for everyone. There are portions of the series that feel like a slice of life and some that feel like a battle shonen. The series just gets better as it goes and it’s fun to read. Its a good recommendation for someone’s first manga.
100% agree :)

This is something I wish for everyone who start off reading manga, who goes through all the reccomeneded and suggested. Finding how vast this medium is and enjoying all the stories told in said medium. But what I truly wish for them is to find a story unfold before their eye over many many years.
I just caught up with this video (really great btw) and I wanted to say: you're right when you say that Yukimura criticizes christianity and norse religion because they used war and violence as a mean to their ends, and I wanted to add that I also find that here he's criticizing the idea of an afterlife. If on one hand vikings "desire" death as a mean to serve the gods during Ragnarok, on the other you have christians behaving on a certain way to get a reward (going to heaven) after their death. I think Yukimura's message is the one where you talk about the two soldiers thinking about valhalla: do everything you can to make the world a better place for everyone and leave your mark, because in the end there's no true otherwordly reward awaiting you after your death. I think that's also one of the reasons that makes forgiveness such an important theme throughout the manga.
Another reason why Yukimura is ignorant pretentious isolationist Japanese i ever meet
Such snobism make me puke
Buddhism don't reflect life
Happy to see you talk about this manga,Vinland Saga is one of my favorite stories of all time. Aside from the epic battles and wars(which I do love) this story is actually a very human story about a person filled with hatred and revenge,learning to heal and move on while also dealing with the consequences of their past actions. Truly beautiful.
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Thank you for watching!
These reviews are badass bro good stuff
Thanks king :)
Yo,your channel is mad underrated
Thanks man, make sure to share it with your grandma and subscribe ✌🏻
I swear to god everyone listened to “The Fields of Ard Skellage” while reading Vinland Saga
its a requirement yeah
I listened to a lot of Witcher 3 tracks for reading Berserk. I straight up just fell in love with Judea because I was listening to the tavern tracks in the chapters where they’re out on the town and he’s being a homie to Guts and helping him affirm what choices he should make about his own destiny.
Amazing video man you fully encapsulated how this manga fully felt for Me as well
Well spoken!
Thank you for making videos man! youre so charismatic and a sweet person, i dont know how to put it
from brazil here, hope your channel grow
Glad you like them! Appreciate it :)
Recently found this channel, great analysis of the series. Keep it up❤️
Thanks sir :)
The Last Kingdom is f-ing amazing. Not sure if you watched that show, but I was hooked from start to finish.
Same as your berserk video I planned on watching for maybe a couple minutes but ended up watching all 25 minutes :)
You are a gem sir 👌🏼
If you like the character writing, drama and world building of Vinland Saga, you should check out his other manga “Planetes“.
I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition. Yukimura has such a great way to visually express such a different variety of themes and stage conflicts of characters.
It's also just 27 chapters long, but longer ones.
Added to the list thanks so much :)
@@mugenbop You're Welcome! ... Awesome Video btw, it's always nice to hear the thoughts of someome else than yourself and get a similar, different or new perspective on things.
Keep it up!
Spoilers ahead
The chapter when Hild finally forgive Thorfinn broke me. I really wasn't ready for that panel and the emotions that were displayed. It's the only panel that make me crying just by seeing it.
8:51 very well put
Let’s goooo vagabond video
Spoilers
When hild forgave thorfinn, thorfinn was so emotional because I think he finally felt some relieve on his past, and so he kind of forgive himself for killing so many people.
Fyi just adding a spoiler tag isn't super effective if you don't specify what part of the story you're about to spoil
Finally, a true warrior.
The Witcher soundtrack, nice.
Best Viking similar royalty free music I could find that was decent, glad someone noticed :)
a generational masterpiece
Nobody mentioning how difficult it is to snap a sword forged for the Jomsvikings (assuming that is a call for it to be above average) and not even flinching
i am watching season 2 weekly when it ends i will catch up to the manga.
Hope you do :)
Yooo mugen im not sure if you’ve read the most recent chapter 189
But what’s happening there gives me the feels of the start of the slave arc
Where you don’t know where its gonna go
I hope you’re upto date
It’s actually so so so good
Yeah I’m up to date and I get that feeling too, I think it’s also presenting a possible quandary in terms of changing the future and what it means
@@mugenbop yhhhh for real
I really can’t wait to see how the mangaka handles this as thorfin can’t use violence an the language barrier could have everything go tits up
I’m only on season 2 but was the idea that “Christianity propagates warfare” really a key point of the story? To me so far it seems within the story, Christianity is set up to be the foil of Norse religion. I literally just watched one of the latest episodes and they really put a highlight on the Bible and the “pray for your enemy” verse.
No I think religion can propagate warfare in general, regardless if the good each bring in its values. I think that is what Makoto is highlighting in later chapters after the farm arc
@@mugenbop gotcha, I’ll have to get further along and see then. I’ve no problem with criticism of specific religions or religion in general in a story but the “religion causes most wars” meme really irks me. It simply isn’t the case. Each culture might justify the sanctity of its actions through religion to the masses, but in fact most wars are for territory, resources and control. Religion can be a tool to control, but it’s rarely ever actually the inciting cause of mass warfare.
In fact to my amusement, Cnut almost instantly becomes the personification of the “Godless Utopia Seeking Tyrant” meme. He may not actually be lacking belief in God, but his views have shifted to lead him to at least resenting God and have in turn made him all the more maniacal and cruel in seeking the greater good. But again, I’ll have to see how Cnut develops further along in the story as well. Vinland saga is very thought provoking.
Nice
What is the background song at the start?
That is Witcher 3 Skellige music :)
has the vinland saga manga ended?
No it is in its final arc and has reached 200 chapters recently
@@mugenbopwhat app do you use in reading it
Read Houseki no Kuni
So the great argument about Christianity this manga pulls is literally the meme "if God real why bad thing happen" lol unbelievable.
I disagree it more acknowledges the positives and negatives ofChristianity and Norse religion as a concept when it comes to getting your reward after death.
Ergo dying in battle honourably the valkyries come and take you to Asgard to fight and the other hand is god taking you to eternal bliss. The manga never infringes on the positive values that each instill, such as being a pacifist or watching after one’s neighbour. Thoughts?
Well, I believe it's more than just if "God is real, why is there suffering in the world?" But even if that was the main argument against Christianity, it would still be valid. If there is a all-powerful and all-loving god in the universe, why does suffering exist? Theres no real way to answer this which isnt circular. And at the same time, Vinland Saga expresses criticism of the Norse mythology as well, such as the glorification of war. Its exactly what Thorfinn does that opposes the rest of the vikings and their beliefs. Neither is perfect, and honestly, neither is even preferable.
bro, that's the surface level observations that "dumb" characters in the manga make. They have only ever worked for reward. "Love" "God" are not topics so easily tackled, unless you have tiny definition of Love or God
and its valid
This is an actual argument however, the argument of the existence of evil.
Its the one argument that even St Augustine has no actual answer to.
