Why do you gotta talk trash about Thorfinn? Thorfinn is still gonna remain to be the main character as well and that was just dumb to speak bad on him cuz of his broken arm cuz he gonna heal up and become a way better fighter 🤷🏻♂️
so...going back to episode 4, when askeladd asks thors to be their leader, he meant it. he was hoping it was thors. he's been looking for the true leader. and now he found it in canute. thorkell also missed his chance with thors, and now he found it in canute. what a filthy reveal.
When they said Shogi, it was something else in the manga. In the manga they mentioned some ancient Scandinavian board game similar to chess(where it was also explained in the translator’s notes). In the anime they said Shogi which historically makes no sense of course since Vikings couldn’t have known of Shogi, but that’s probably just so that the viewers could understand it. Since I believe that no one’s gonna know some Scandinavian variation of chess.
@@troggdorthesecond Like you spell it! :D I'm not kidding. We swedes pronounce letters a bit differently though, so it probably wouldn't sound the same if an english-speaker pronounced it.
Askeladd laughed like a madman because his plan worked. Canute's balls dropped & he became a man. As he said, Ragnar was babying him. As soon as Ragnar was out of the picture, Canute grew up.
He didn't just grow up, better term would be developed himself. You could say grow up to what happened to Thorfinn, where he experienced and understood things most adults know after like 25yo at his 17yo, just because of his dad's death. Canute had a more specific kind of growth, where he literally understood the meaning of life and transcended to an insane level of clarity
This episode was so great that everyone missed that thorkell now is a 'human' means he can get defeated He already got knocked out 2 times and now the third
It's SO INSANE to me the contrast between Thorfinn and Canute. Just a few episodes ago I despised Canute for his lack of drive and his character. And now he's all of a sudden the closest thing to "a true warrior", and has Thorkell and Askeladd behind him
Thors was aiming for a true warrior, Canute is aiming for a true king. Similar, but different. Thrors wouldn't think about telling other people when and why to fight.
Dont judge so quickly bro....or elese read manga...Canute is a bitch(spoiler alert) he is not a warrior or fighter...You can say he is a Mentalist he wants to make people his followers and be a King who will create a paradise in the earth itself( simply to put he wants to be a God and make his own religion type of thing) i cant explain you properly coz of spoilers.
I preferred the previous one over this to be honest, primarily because of its examination of death, love, and beauty. They are all great episodes regardless.
Upon rewatching I think my favorite overall has to be the episode where Thorfinn was taken in by the English mom and her daughter, just a gutwrenching ending. Either way, I feel like this comment will age like milk by the time the series is through.

@@dev5966 Lmao ikr people are just dumb trying to sound deep,really compared a 6 yo old kid to a 17 yo prince in terms of maturity and power/impact they had in the real world.
Personally, your Vinland Saga videos have become the reaction videos I most look forward to watching, lol. Your reactions are fukn priceless and I can't think of another video that has made Mr. deep voice scream like a little girl. Anyone else feel this way? XD
If you hit someone in the right spot with enough force you can Knockout anyone big or small This anime is so good I didn’t know I needed a Viking anime in my life
Thorkill probably suffered a serious brain injury or concussion when Thors knocked him out. So now(just like in real life), he's more prone to being knocked unconscious from blunt head trauma.
You know how some UFC/Boxing fighters suddenly have a glass jaw a few matches after really bad KO they got? That's what happened to Thorkell. Thors hit him in the jaw so hard, he now has a glass jaw for life.
i think thorkells weakness is that his brain is extra sensitive so any good head hit will take him down, dont think it was just a normal sweet spot thorkell hit because he probably doesn't know about that knockout spot. they would go on and on about there being a weakness that is just some sunlight to the eyes i think lol.
in the manga instead of shogi its "Hnefatafl" a viking age board game. there arent any concrete rules remaining for it. maybe they change to cause most people would have no clue what it is (i only know cause of the translation notes)
Thors made a weak spot when he knocked Thorkell out just like in boxing it becomes easier to knock someone out if you hit them in the same place they got knocked out before. That is why mike tyson and Roy jones jr. started to get knocked out after the first time . It is because your brain remembers the trauma and shuts down to protect you from it.
Im thinking thors weakened that spot on thorkell the last time they fought. I really like the last water under the bridge line. Canutes philosophy immediately activated when they joined haha
Thorkell doesn't have a glass jaw, he has photosensitive epilepsy triggered by flashing lights. that's why Askeladd rubbed his sword with snow and then flashed Thorkell right in the eyes.
I hope the director doesn't fuck it up because he's going to change the anime and make it a bit different from the manga but same ending. Source: His tweet
Yo Wha Gwan @yaboyroshi @Lupasan. Where in Florida you guys at. I live in Florida too in Tamarac FL. For real it getting real chilly over here, about to get me wearing some thick ass jackets.
Yes Canute for president. Sometimes killing a character off is growth for another person. Canute is a great representation of that. Ragnar helped him by dying and the priest awoke the reality of things after this.This show is awesome because even directions on this have great twist but they made you actually like Canute in just a few episodes just by character development. Lmaoooo yes Thorfinn broken arm has seen better days. One thing ppl don't take in consideration is Askeladd skills he lasted more then 5 seconds against Thors while Thorkell Lasted about 5 in a fight against him. Askeladd is just old and wounded now so he is not as weak as ppl think. I think this show might be taking top 5 of this year for me its sort of slowly pushing DemonSlayer to 2nd. If they keep these episodes going like this it might do it for me. But thats of course if season 2 of Demon Slayer don't challenge all i said right now. Anyways love yall reaction.
That Thorkell flashback basically shows that Askeladd could have beat Thorkell 1 on 1 because Askeladd still manage to hold on his own for quite a while vs Thors while also manage to do some damage against Thors...Thorkell got raped in just 5 second without even manage to land a hit on Thors at all..not to mention Thors didnt even use his swords at all against Thorkell
That buzzing sound was bad. I hope it's gone in your upcoming videos. Also, I didn't know you guys lived in FL, too! That's dope. Y'all live near Miami or?
Thorkell should fight w/ dark goggles. Thorfinn was saved by thorkell's men. I imagine thorkell grabbing thorfinn while he was stroking thorkell's eyes.
Will just point out that it's not the chin that was the weakness. Might be better explained next episode. As getting kicked on that spot on the chin will make anybody fall.
It was the neck in manga it is mentioned....thorkell is 7feet tall but is face and neck are thin and the neck is his weakest spot and ofcourse his balls😂
@@rahulbhat5501 Well this might go spoiler territory sorry for anyone who reads this. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************What I remember it's been years when I read this part and later parts in the manga, he has epilepsy against bright light, look Thorkell's eyes when Askeladd hits him in the face with the sunlight from his sword. Later on it's revealed that what Askeladd saw in that past battle he talks about, is that sunlight came out of the clouds and hit Thorkell's eyes and that is the reason he was falling in that battle too.
Clearly Canute took over the main character role, meanwhile Thorfinn over there with a broken arm looking like he lost the plot 😂
😭😭it took one episode for canute to become my favorite character
askeladd didnt lose the gamble at all
all according to plan!
😂😂😂
Lets be real: did Thorfinn have 'HAVE' the plot?
Why do you gotta talk trash about Thorfinn? Thorfinn is still gonna remain to be the main character as well and that was just dumb to speak bad on him cuz of his broken arm cuz he gonna heal up and become a way better fighter 🤷🏻♂️

yeah. and thorfinn just looks like he's going to bite the hand of anyone who comes close to him
Thors faked his own death and caused big boy Thorkell to burst into tears.
What a troll!
Literally "The Troll"
I see what you did there lol

then by the same token without ragnar this transformation wouldn't have happened. he was more necessary than anything
And thanks to the priest, no? I wonder if Canute wouldn't have that revelation if the Priest wasn't there.
No

@@idk-ye7ur I think the point is many people played a part in Canute's development.
From the way Askeladd spoke about Thorkell, it seems like Thorkell's weakness is that he has a glass jaw.
This episode was so great that everyone missed that thorkell now is a 'human' means he can get defeated
He already got knocked out 2 times and now the third

Kevin thanks to the priest
The story isn't finished not even close. This season 1 is only in the manga the first major arc.
Thors was aiming for a true warrior, Canute is aiming for a true king. Similar, but different. Thrors wouldn't think about telling other people when and why to fight.

The most main character of this anime is Thorfinn...other main are Thors,Askeladd,Canute
This is hands down best episode of vinland saga
I preferred the previous one over this to be honest, primarily because of its examination of death, love, and beauty. They are all great episodes regardless.
