Vinland Saga

[Vic Boss 610]

Highly detailed historic Viking pillaging. Top notch animation and attention to detail and pretty violent. The first three episode dropped at once

 

Vinland Saga 1

- Except they did have a dude in chain mail swim and then not be wet when he got out of the water
- 1 minute it and they're already Vikings chopping dudes to pieces :shiny:
- Eyyyy Leif Erikson
- Thorfinn's dream about fighting Jormungand is perfectly childlike :shiny:
- "Why can't we get a slave"
- Leif's story about being standed
- Did Vikings know CPR?
- Viking history :nod:
- Oh man, ripping part of his face off with the chain (was that a piece of tooth that flew off with the chain?)
- The hair in the chain
- The slave seeing his family as he's dying
- They're gonna give away the sick sheep to buy the dying slave
- "I'm gonna torture him" and then Thors stands up and fucking looms over them
- Northern Lights

[Revolver 26]

The manga is pretty good but I haven’t read it in a while. Some good storytelling though.

- Did Vikings know CPR?

 

That part made me double take also. While we have them to thank for a few things that made them a bit more civilized for being "heathenous savages" (*coughGROOMINGcoughcough*) I don't think they would have really known something like that. Or if they did it would have been a lot more in a crude fashion than that.

I am a little gleeful at this anime because HI SCA NERD, and after visiting Norway, Sweden, Denmark. I'm excited to see what they bring into this.

[webhead 518]

Well look at that, this is on Amazon.  Might give it a shot.

[Vic Boss 610]

Vinland Saga 2

 

- Oh shit, sneaky English with an underwater attack
- They always die too early :')
- Oh, was Leif Ericsson a Christian?
- Everyone's worried this warship is gonna cause a fight, instead they bow their heads to Thors
- All the younger guys excited for a war :/
- An army so strong that just said "no" to taxes :lol:
- Thors with his head down while everyone is celebrating that they're going to war :/
- Thorfinn and the kids playing "war" a lot rougher now
- I have no doubt that all these guys are gonna get massacred in the first battle
- Thorfinn's entranced by the real sword
- Thors trying to teach Thorfinn not to kill  :')
- Axe-throwing with a Christian Monk as the target, I see we've entered "fucked up" territory
- Floki, you fuck, trying to assassinate Thors

[Vic Boss 610]

Vinland Saga 3

- "It slipped" :lol:
- And they used the spear throw to swindle Floki a little bit
- OH NO THEY DIDN'T, THEY KILLED HIS HIDDEN DUDE WITH IT
- So if I'm inferring from the intro here, Thors probably does get killed and Thorfinn becomes a member of this guy's crew or tries to kill him in revenge and joins his crew or something like that
- Mom cockblocking Ari
- Poor Ylva
- Mom: "Make sure you bathe on Saturday." 10-Foot Tall Viking: "Yes, Mom."
- Thors is planning to abandon the guys so they don't have to go battle, good guy Thors
- Dohohoho Thorfinn snuck aboard
- "I want to get a look at this troll" as he's spanking Thorfinn
- Ari is impressed with Leif
- That's not how you hold a baby, Thors
- Helga makes an indifferent warrior Thors name the baby, and that's when he started being afraid of battle
- Hrm, is this the assassination squad or just random bandits?
- Assassination squad
- Thors doesn't want to give Thorfinn a sword but is forced to do it ;_;
- Is that a mushroom that turns someone Berserker
- With his bare fucking hands
- Oh don't end the fucking episode there

Spoiler

Another possibility is that Thorfinn could end up in the other guy's crew as a war prisoner and be raised as his "adopted son" to get Thors to do what they want if Thors ends up living. It was common back then along with slaves and it's something I've seen in both GoT and Last Kingdom.

 

[Tassifox 413]

FINALLY EP 4!

 

Spoiler

Mmmm the sound of bones cracking
Oh fun Bjorn's going into Berserker mode...
Well that was short.
And the child is even more starstruck by Thors than he was before. Reality is gonna be a hard bitch on him.
Boy please be quiet
Fuck he actually got a slice on him
Ooooooh Thors went into Hulk mode more or less
Shiiiii- I felt that!
Aaaaaaaand there's reality kicking you kid.
Dumbass is lucky he only got a hit to the face
WILL YOU STOP STOWING AWAY BRAT

- Oh god, that broken arm x_x
- Thors uppercutting a guy into the water, and then throwing him an oar to float on
- Holy shit, Thors even KO's Bjorn w/ Berserker mushroom in TWO punches instead of the one he's been relying on
- I mean, with this intro, Thors has to be dying here somehow
- He knows he could kill 30 men by himself
- Viking duel
- Oh my god, that Askeladd speed
- Askeladd's breathing heavy already
- Thors baited him into breaking his sword so he could steal his
- Thors doesn't want to fill in front of Thorfinn :x
- Askeladd wants Thors to be their leader? Sure he's not trying to bait him in to kill him?
- Askeladd plays it off as a joke but he was totally serious
- Thors still dictating even with arrows sticking out of him ;_;
- Not even one casualty
- Kill'em all Thorfinn (that kind of rage probably isn't good for a child)

[Tassifox 413]

E5
 

Spoiler

Hello my name is Thorfinn son of Thors, you killed my father, prepare to die! *passes out from hunger*
I feel bad for Ylva
Great so you know how to throw a knife. Still not enough kid
He's totally just gonna follow Askelad around
 

 

[Vic Boss 610]

Vinland Saga 5

 

- You figure Floki's gonna massacre Askeladd and friends too
- He can't drink from the barrell-top because it's seawater
- "We're not gonna stay here long" is Askeladd giving Thorfinn a chance to escape?
- I love this whole tripping while running up a hill and surviving in nature thing Thorfinn's going through
- Pillaging a village and trying to keep it quiet so they don't get in trouble for it
- And now Thorfinn sees what battle really looks like
- Little Thorfinn with his Guts Sword
- You know Askeladd knows he's there
- The fucking other guys getting all fired up by Thorfinn "Kill him, kid!" :rofl:
- Leif's gonna find Thorfinn "no matter how many years it takes", oh boy
- Looks like Ylva's got the Troll genes
- Even fucking whaling with the men
- And working to ignore it :(
- Thorfinn passed out by a tree clutching his sword like Hundred-Man Guts
- Bjorn almost casually wondering how he's doing, and then just bare-basically talking about who Thors was naive and Thorfinn's too weak to do anything about it (while also mushroom picking, so looking for more Berserker mushrooms?)
- Askeladd's advice is going to save him from the wolf, isn't it
- His dinky sword that Thors gave him doesn't swing him around and he's figuring out how useful it is
- The fucking on-point throw to Arkeladd's head when he looked away at Bjorn :shiny:
- A promise between warriors

[Tassifox 413]

I was wondering when we'd hit the growing up montage episode.

[Vic Boss 610]

E6

- Viking Politics :shiny:
- Now it's Thorfinn's first up-close look at dead bodies, they're taking us through all the small events that lead him to become a killing machine (or at least that's what the intro looks like he'll become)
- Askeladd making deals with legitimate army to take their posts/raids/pillages
- Oh wow, nevermind, the English are here to fuck them up
- Oh SHIT, Askeladd stabbing through the guy and it almost looked like Thorfinn took the blade
- Thorfinn getting splashed by blood, then makes his first stab and then kill. Slowly doing one thing then the next in his progression
- Crying and screaming and raging after he kills a dude for the first time
- And even saving Askeladd in battle because that's his guy to kill
- Awww dogs
- Old people not giving a shit what they say because they're old
- Eyyy time for Thorfinn to get an English waifu
- AHAHAHA THORFINN GETTING HIS HAIR BRUSHED
- Telling them to run because the pillaging is probably gonna start :/
- The dead look in Thorfinn's eyes when he thinks back to his family and the old lady disappears in the rush

[Vic Boss 610]

E7

 

- "Wait, are they gonna raid France now?" :lol:
- I was starting to wonder why Thorfinn doesn't just kill the shit out of Asheladd already
- Keeps stringing Thorfinn along and Thorfinn keeps believing him
- And the only reason he sends Thorfinn is on the off chance they kill the messenger :nono:
- They're totally gonna take all the spoils and/or kill the attackers too
- Holy shit the charge with the boats :shiny: :shiny: :shiny:
- Fucking took that dudes fingers off
- Lost his head over the wall
- Oh, the Franks are gonna ambush them instead :lol:
- Yep, they took almost all of it :lol:
- Their half of the spoils is that they get "Victory", you right prick Asheladd :rofl:
- Descend the waterfall?
- Asheladd accepts, then "Except..." and fucking arrows start raining down :rofl:
- Ohhhh it's not like a massive waterfall

[Tassifox 413]

Spoiler

This episode was definitely more comedic for me from the Frog-like noble straight out of a Ghibli story to Askelad and the crew running with their ships on their backs like that. No way in fuck that would be possible unless their ships are made of Worbla

 

[Vic Boss 610]

E8

 

- Huh, Askeladd actually has a home village and people aren't afraid of him?
- If I'm Thorfinn, I might consider massacring the village, but I'd need to make sure Askeladd actually values them
- Askeladd doesn't seem to really care about money at all. I'm still kind of hung up on those moments where he quite honestly seemed to be asking Thors to take his place as a leader, almost like he was forced into all of this somehow, but then he acts like such a scumbag the rest of the time that who knows
- Oh wow, Askeladd's going to go through with the duel
- Askeladd tried to start running the "look at how much you've grown" shtick on him, Thorfinn just goes for his throat immediately
- God damn, their move-for-move tactics. Askeladd realized Thorfinn's gonna get the better of his sword or his hand, so he releases the sword so Thorfinn drives through, then Thorfinn realizes Askeladd's going to grab his hand and maybe disarm him
- Now he's trying to fuck with him to Thorfinn angry so he'll blindly charge
- And it worked, not quite yet Thorfinn
- I strangely like how Bjorn, and the two blonde guys are all representing how Thorfinn's become part of their crew, like they know his moods and tendencies and have been watching him grow as a warrior
- The slave to money pretends to be the master to the slave he bought with that money
- That Thors dream ;_;
- The Vinland story
- THE
- FUCKING
- AXE
- THROW
- Oh my god, it's the Blackbeard voice actor from One Piece :shiny:

[Vic Boss 610]

OKAY, sidetracked by a wrestling weekend

 

E9

 

- Askeladd's hair is falling out? Disease'd?
- "Hey Thorfinn, go kill Thorkell." Like it's that easy
- Thorfinn tosses the knife and tells Askeladd to not forget that he's going to kill him, Askeladd nonchalantly and accurately throws it back right by his head. This fucking rivalry
- "Hey, it's Floki." Askeladd should probably tell Thorfinn that he killed Thors on Floki's dime
- Thorkell turned traitor because England is finished and that fight isn't as exciting as fighting the Danish :lol:
- Oh my god, the giant boulder. I fucking love this guy :rofl:
- He's throwing fucking spiked logs through viking ships
- Here we fucking GO
- Thorkell's gonna recognize the knife
- The force behind his punch
- GROSS CAUGHT THE STAB WITH HIS PALM
- Thorfinn abandoned, still fighting
- NO he ran before Thorkell could recognize the name
- An appointed killer for wounded men who want to die
- Canute is faint of heart because he grew up Christian
- The English are celebrating their "win", Thorkell's yelling for them to come back :lol:

[Tassifox 413]

Spoiler

Dude Thorkell is possibly a bigger giant than Thors was O-o
This is fucking David and Goliath shit right here

 

[Vic Boss 610]

He is, they stood side-by-side in the opening bit of the first episode

[Tassifox 413]

Spoiler

Fuck I totally forgot about that!
Omg him waving to Thorfinn with his fingers pumping blood Just fucking can't....

 

[Vic Boss 610]

He's easily the best character

 

Apparently based off an historical person too

[Tassifox 413]

That's not surprising at all. I'm honestly curious to know if the Ragnar they've popped in here is the same Ragnar Lothbrok (also a historical character they used in the TV show VIKINGS) or a different Ragnar that's historical.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lodbrok

[Vic Boss 610]

Ep 10

 

- "We got the short end of the stick" and then suddenly Thorkell-propelled cannonballs :lol:
- Thorkell starts giggling like a madman when he hears that Canute is leading the opposing force
- Dream Thors telling Thorfinn to protect his mom and sister ;_;
- An axe embedded in the back of a dude in the stable that Thorfinn was sleeping in :/
- Askeladd getting wistful around Thorfinn, knowing he's going to lose one of their duels at some point
- "Ragnarok" as the sun rises :shiny:
- I fucking love how cartoonishly strong Thorkell is, just runs into battle with a fucking spike-log :rotfl:
- "The sound of the footsteps of Ragnarok" :shiny:
- OH SHIT ASKELADD BEHEADED THE MESSENGER
- Always the scumbag, he's going to take Canute hostage and see what he can get

[Tassifox 413]

Ep 11
 

Spoiler

$5 that the prince is a princess and that Thorkell knows Thors and Helga because A. Ran with Thors that we kinda already knew from early episodes and B. Tried to bone Thorfinn's mom

 

[Vic Boss 610]

Ep 11

 

- The pillaging is making the vikings want to convert to Christianity
- "You've been too Christian, did you forget about Valhalla?"
- Spear right through the fucking head
- Thorkell just gives Canute back because he expects they're going to fight :lol:
- Jesus Christ, Thorkell o_o
- I wonder if Canute's a woman. Hasn't spoken, always wrapped in robes, they make such a fuss over "come here boy" and the like. Could just be a Griffith but I do wonder.
- "He disappeared?" while the knife's in his neck
- THORKELL
- YEAH TELL HIM ABOUT THORS
- DON'T LET HIM DOWN THORFINN

[Vic Boss 610]

E12

 

- "Your accent almost sounds like my people." Welsh? Scots? Oirish?
- I legit wonder if there's people with freaky hearing like The Ear IRL or if this is just some anime shit
- Ha, the voice actor pronounced "Leicester" right (probably because of that massively famous soccer thing a few years ago)
- Almost sounds like Askeladd is going to hand Canute back without extortion
- Eyyyy The Welsh
- And their crazy as fuck words
- Askeladd being diplomatic, not wanting to stretch the resources of a small kingdom thin, even though he's a goddamn pillaging pirate
- Welsh Commander approves of Thorfinn
- The drunk priest getting in on the reward banter
- "Love?" "What's that? Never heard of it."
- Oh shit, he's gonna start converting some of them to Christianity
- ... Is Askeladd starting to think of Thorfinn as a future leader?
- The legend that "Artorius" will return from Avalon. King Arthur :shiny:
- Oh shit, Leif sees a slave that looks like Thorfinn
- HORSE ARROWED

[Tassifox 413]

Spoiler

I'm totally with Askeladd telling Ragnar not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Like legit you just got your asses saved and you're trying to through your hoity toity title around to a wimpy prince to push your luck? HA! Yo prince gonna die just wait.

 

[Tassifox 413]

Ep 13:

I definitely like the new OP and ED for this season
 

Spoiler

Well I'll be damned. Askelaad is from King Arthur's bloodline.
Ha! Thorfinn schooling the prince and getting him to actually speak.
Ragnar needs to stop coddling the prince regardless of what he's gone through.

 

[Vic Boss 610]

- Wtffff at that potential future teaser
- Asser :rottfl:
- These days, a sheep must wear a wolf's skin in order to graze
- It's nice of the Highwaymen to let this little drama play out
- Oh shiii, I never knew the legend of King Arthur came out of something real
- OH SHIT THAT OPENING WASN'T THORFINN
- Askeladd's not gonna ransom off Canute to the highest bidder but use him for high status and power, damn
- "I hate the Danes." God damnnnn
- "Conehead" :rotfl:
- "I heard they eat humans"
- "We're going to eat you" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
- D'awww, Canute is making a tsundere friend

- A girl dancing around with a wedding ring. This isn't going to end well
- D'awwww, the Priest told them about Judas and Jesus and now the Super Blonde Bros are making sure he knows they'd never betray each other for silver (probably...)
- The Super Blonde Bros just compared love to the battlefield and the Priest slapped it down by saying they wouldn't have his back if he entered the battlefield so it's not the same thing
- Holy shit the freaky Priest eyes :rotfl:
- Mannnn, the gloom of the snowstorm fading away to seeing a village they're going to pillage :/
- So Ragnarok and the Rapture are based on similar stories?
- She's scared of the devil because she stole a ring
- "You don't have to worry about making it through the winter." Askeladd is the worst :sick:
- So she didn't freeze to death, implying she'll survive and tell others about them?

[Tassifox 413]

Ep 15

Spoiler

Of course the prince sucks at battle and tactics but can fucking cook
Yup, figured that Ragnar was gonna get shanked as soon as he was away from the prince
 

[Vic Boss 610]

- Thorkell trying to eat and talk at the same time :lol:
- Is the Ear going to get converted to Christianity by having to listen to the praying Monks all the time on guard duty?
- Canute raises his voice and suddenly gets backbone when someone questions God. Holy War time

- Yup
- Thorfinn's immediately up and ready to cut the throat of a dude who rushes in on his delicious broth
- They're totally going to assassinate Ragnar now and pretend it was the English, aren't they
- Yep, there it is
- I wonder if they're gonna try to replace Canute with Thorfinn and then the King will be fine with it because at least Thorfinn is a warrior
- Oh man, Askeladd might've fucked up, he's now thrust into an internal political power struggle
- Did the King send Canute out to die in war so that Harald would become the new King as bloodlessly as possible? He jumped to the conclusion that Canute was dead at the beginning when Floki reported he was juts missing.
- Oh shit, he did
- All the Danes who die see the afterlife or Heaven as a sunny, green field. It's Vinland Saga because they're not finding somewhere that looks like the legend of Vinland, but it's because they're all gonna die and it's the last thing they're all gonna see.

[Vic Boss 610]

E16

 

- Askeladd keeps sounding like he's telling Bjorn the truth but disguises it as jokes
- Shears. Probably gonna threaten to cut off his dick
- Oh, fingernail torture.
- Didn't need to see that, man :sick:
- Askeladd justifying himself through the history of the British Isles

- A Death March to lose Thorkell
- Is Askeladd prepping to abandon his men? Even the brothers are starting to question him.
- Oh shit, he's already ahead of them, the brothers and some of the men are gonna try to capture the Prince and trade him to join Thorkell's army

- It's going down
- Come on man, don't end there :nono:

Spoiler

Got to see some Askelaad backstory
Askelaad must feel like a maiden having a duel with him as the prize
GIT EM THORFINN!

 

[Vic Boss 610]

E17

 

- Oh man, did Askeladd become a seafarer to look for Avalon aka Vinland?
- Thors probably looked like a "true King" to him in that little moment where he asked him to lead them
- "I actually hated you guys." Oh my god
- Holy shit his Dane hatred is coming out
- NOW HE'S KILLING THEM HOLY SHIT
- "Let me join, let me join!" Fucking Thorkell :lol:
- "Hey, I told you to attack me, not the horses!" :rotfl:
- Is it funny that I cringed harder at the horse getting an axe in the brain than I did any of the people?
- Thorfinn's either abandoned the Prince to go kill Askeladd, or he's going to rescue Askeladd. Definitely assume the first
- The fucking eyepoke
- Cuts a dude in half like he's a cartoon (which I guess they are...)
- Askeladd's having the exact same thing happen to him that he did to Thors
- The blood and weapons on the snow :shiny:
- At least letting them pick up their weapons so they can go to Valhalla when they die
- "If you call yourself a warrior, then try feeling good when you die."
- "I feel your pain, Torgrim" as Thorkell is stretching. Holy shit, Askeladd :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Spoiler

I wish they didn't keep going back and forth with the Prince scenes and the fight. I WANNA SEE THE FULL FIGHT!
oOOF That kick into Thorfinn. Just when he was getting a few nicks in Thorkell.

And of course now the Prince finally gives up in God and gets more tough. Whee/sarcasm. Dat face he made though that made Berserk Bjorn stop in his tracks. lol
 

 

[Vic Boss 610]

E18

 

- The slow-motion axe cutting through the kicked-up snow
- Thorkell KO's his own guy for laughing because he considers Thorfinn a warrior
- D'awww, Ragnar raised Canute normally instead of like a viking badass
- Just sitting back and casually watching Bjorn berserk out on a band of vikings
- Thorfinn's swordsmanship is average
- Canute facing the meaning of love from a drunk priest, Thorfinn facing the meaning of being a warrior traitor. I'm still wondering if they'll pull a switcheroo, Canute will go live with Thorfinn's family as him and Thorfinn will be the rampaging Canute of history
- The hand reaching for the apple of Eden while Canute wonders why there's no love among humans, it's because we were expelled from paradise
- What the fuck, Thorkell just punted a field goal with Thorfinn :rotfl:
- The sudden bass in Canute's voice
- "We'll create our own paradise." Vinland?

[Tassifox 413]

Spoiler

The thing is I'm not surprised that Thorkell called Thorfinn's style average. Tbh I don't consider Thorfinn's thing actual swordsmanship. Mainly because to me his weapons are, at best, thick daggers. And all he does are the equivalent of ninja jumps and slashing. Which for someone who mostly self taught those moves. Are impressive in speed. But not really swordsmanship.

 

[Tassifox 413]

Ep 19:

Spoiler

THORFIN'S ARM. HOLY FUCK. I seriously gasped/choked on my drink from that.
THORFINN AND THORKELL ARE FAMILY!

Fuck Thorkell is even bigger than Thors!
I'm surprised that Askelaad knows Shogi
Shit Thorfinn went slight Berserker after taking down Thorkell
Whad'ya know. Princess didn't flinch.
Well this should be interesting.

[Vic Boss 610]

- GROSS HIS ARM
- Oh shit, Thorkell is family

- YOOOOOO CANUTE'S GONNA FIGHT POPS
- Thorkell realizing Canute sees something else that he can't see

- Canute will never forgive God for setting this up and watching it

Oooooooo Askelaad is uber mad about that remark.
Dude priest cleans up nice. So not surprised that he seems way more functional when he's drinking.
The last 4 eps are gonna be interesting for sure.

- Is Leif-kun finally gonna catch a glimpse of Thorfinn?
- Nope, Askeladd! :D
- "That you're going to die here right now" WHAT THE FUCK
- OH
- SHIT
- They don't know what crossbows are
- Leif found his Thorfinn
- And apparently Thorfinn's becoming a legend
- He recognized Leif!
- They used a woman as a body double
- He doesn't want to hear about his sister and mother, only the fantasy of Vinland
- Tomorrow?
- In a weird way, Askeladd and Bjorn care about each other, Askeladd kind of flinched when Bjorn said the room was too small for "risking his life" when he knows Bjorn's probably gonna die from his wounds
- Askeladd completely outwitting the potential orders to weaken Canute
- There's no way Askeladd can win this duel, so he's either cheating somehow or he's finally going to tell him that Floki hired him to kill Thors
- That blade sticking out of his cast :rotfl:
- Bjorn goes first?!
- Askeladd meant to get him in the vitals to make it quick ;_;

- Thorkell getting mad that he might be the weakest of the Canute's three :lol:
- Man, Askeladd beats him with his bare hands, he's always watching Thorfinn so he knows all of his habits and tendencies
- Askeladd's sick of Thorfinn and feels good after killing Bjorn so he might just kill him too
- I wonder what would happen if Thorkell knew Askeladd killed Thors in such a blasphemous way
- The first man Askeladd ever killed was his own father, god damn
- "I'm going to tell you how to kill someone you hate."
- His name is a nickname because he was always covered in ash from the blacksmith's forge
- OH SHIT
- Askeladd had to do it because no hero was going to do it
- Olaf fucking spared him because he was his kid and "had potential"
- Holy fucking shit, he killed him in his sleep
- Like, not in battle either so he'd go to Valhalla, in his fucking sleep
- Oh man, he set up the family to take a fall too
- Thinking back, Thorfinn was going to kill him in his sleep and decided against it, and Askeladd was awake while it was happening

Not surprised that Thorfinn got his butt kicked, not until he does a lot of mental growing up to do.

(Oh shit, Thorfinn's apparently based on a real person)

- Courtly politics
- Even half out of his mind, Thorfinn can beat the shit out of most people with ease
- They're going after the Irish next, oh boy
- Askeladd smiling realizing he's seen through all of King Sweyn's strategies
- Wait is it the Scots who refused to bend the knee
- Or maybe the Welsh, something to angrily throw Askeladd off guard
- WALES
- They made a fucking deal with the Welsh to to leave them alone, fucking outmaneuvered
- Askeladd can't think his way out of this one
- Leif telling him the legend of Vinland again
- The final episode is called END OF THE PROLOGUE

24/Finale

 

- Sweyn trolling the shit out Askeladd by bringing up Wales, looking for signs of weakness
- Calls him on it, oh shit
- He won't back down when it comes to Wales, even if it fucks up everything
- It's not worth the cost to conquer Wales, and some of the people are sighing in relief because they didn't want to say it out loud too
- And now Sweyn's showing that he approves of Askeladd's actions, god damn the sneaky bullshit going on here :shiny:
- "Wales or Canute, choose one." HOLY SHIT
- "The only merchandise Wales produces is slaves" Askeladd's fucking kill-you eyes
- Thorfinn gone just like that
- Shit-talking Sweyn to his fucking face, in front of everyone :shiny:
- "Don't push your luck, you savage."
- Lucius Artortius Castus
- HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
- And now he's taking as many fucking Danes as he can with him
- He's putting on an act, but it's also what he's always wanted to do
- FLOKI ENTERS THE FRAY
- "You killed the King!" "What are you talking about? I'm here, alive and well." :shiny:
- Canute just stole Thorfinn's kill 😱
- "Just hurry up and do it." Oh god
- Thorfinn's just yelling his brains out and suddenly "How do you plan to live your life?" He's asking him a question Thorfinn doesn't want to answer
- Canute had to peel his own fingers off of the blade
- HE FUCKING LUNGED AT CANUTE THORFINN HOLY SHIT
- Drops Thors blade and the obsession goes with it
- According to reddit, this adapted the first 55-56 chapters and only the first major arc. There's 160 someodd chapters and they just entered the fourth and probably final arc. MORE ANIME PLZ

Shouldn't talk shit about his mama.
Poor Canute having to follow through with Askeladd's plan
Whelp I guess his first stab is gotta count somehow
Askeladd dropping the  big question on Thorfinn.
Yup gonna strike the prince since he stole his revenge

That's an interesting way to lead into a possible season 2.
