@@AR-yd2nd Yeah, from a secular viewpoint: His wife's tears on his cheek allowed his brain to recreate that last moment for him. Just like what was said in Bojack Horseman during The View from Halfway Down, “BJ, there is no place. It's just your brain going through what it feels like it has to go through. All you can do right now is sit back and enjoy the show.”
One of the saddest moments to me was when Gardar told Arnheid that he got in trouble for setting horses tails on fire and she was surprised and asked if it was true. It shows that they still had so much to learn about each other without being too obvious.
For those who don't know, Miklagard was the name given by Vikings to Constantinople. It means that Snake may have been part of the Varangian Guard, the personal guard of the byzantine emperor. The Varangian Guard was the personal bodyguard for the leaders of Constantinople and were comprised of all Vikings from Northern Russia
Miklagard is the norse term meaning The Great City. its the name vikings gave the city of Constantinople. if you dont know that name its been many names throughout its history. It was originally Byzantium, became Constantinople, and is currently Istanbul and is the largest city in Turkey. some Vikings did make it to Constantinople and were such renowned fighters they became a military force called the Varangian Guard who were the personal guards to the emperors. we dont know snakes backstory completely but it probably relates to this. and yeah while Gardar is a slave and is justified in trying to free himself and his wife dont forget he is a warrior as well. He and his village literally went to war over an iron mine and lost, and as a result was sold into slavery. nothing justifies slavery but the story is more grey than the black and white of Gardar good Snake bad.
@ibn-aaam4170 I mean his sword could very well be Turkish, the great enemies of the byzantine empire. It's confirmed by the author he is from there but we don't have any other info on it really.
@@BobTheSkullell not necessarily confirmed he is from there. But most definitely confirmed he fought there for the Byzantine Emperor. But he does look like he has some middle eastern features.
What matters is atleast gardar before dying admitted to regretting his warrior ways in a way by stating how he will never leave his family again and how he won't let his son become a warrior.
@@ibn-aaam4170 snake is norse like everyone else in the story. his real name is Roald and hes back up in scandinavia because he committed some sort of criminal act while he was a varangian so he is an outlaw in roman lands now.
They didn’t have to make Gardar’s send off so emotionally beautiful, but I’m damn sure they did. It was a drop kick straight up into the feels. But on a more upbeat note, Dani saying baby Hjalti was kind of ugly was peak comedy 😅😅.
sadly anime director apologized that he was not able to add a Hebi backstory in this episode like he previously promised. this episodes kinda drop hints that hes a warrior from Constantinople
Sam you are half right and half wrong. When they first went after him, it was self-defense because they were trying to capture him, however it stop being self defense when he invaded the farm. He tried to take Arnhied (She’s a slave so she was property of the farm), he wants to kill Ketil (when he asked snake if he was Ketil and snake said “what if I am” and he immediately attacked snake.). Right then and there a snake had every right to kill him. However, he didn’t and he was more worried about the reward that was put out for Gardar. The part that was Snake’s fault is that he didn’t kill him right then and there and his men indirectly died for that decision. Remember, snakes job is to guard the farm and protect the Ketil family. From snakes perspective, he’s 100% justified in killing Gardar.
A bit of a correction, Gardar was suspected of killing an entire family on another farm. He also had intentions of killing Ketil. So, Snake aprehended him once so he could fairly see if he was responsible or not. Then Gardar kills 5 of snakes men and escapes. Snake realizes he needs to die or he will keep causing havoc on the farm. Is Gardar a slave? Yes.😂 So, most of snakes points are invalid in todays standars but for the amount of crimes that Gardar piled up under Danish law he was paying the consequences.
Usually I'm against changes in the anime that aren't in the manga but this time I'm so thankful they did, i loved it so much more in the adaptation (i know not everyone feels the same but this is for me personally). If u wanna know what they changed, the manga didn't have any of the flashbacks or the gardar visions, they only had that little talk about how old hjalti is, that gardar won't let him go adventuring and then gardar died in arnheids arms.
Snake vs Thorfinn has to be one of the sleekest fights I’ve seen. They both tried but fully couldn’t outmaneuver one another was top notch. And while I understand her reason behind her stance, Sam saying Snake should just hold and take the L of his men dying. While forever be hilarious 😅.
well, he definitely shouldn't take any high morale stance on this, Snake just wanted revenge but acted like an enslaved man is owed his live to him only because he tried to escape
@@martophreniaI don’t know that he is taking some high stance about it. I think his view on life is simple. I understand his view as simply being life pays for life and he lost five compared to the one. It’s almost like equivalent exchange. The morality of who “deserves” to live doesn’t matter, as he points out he and his men are scumbags. But in the end their lives are equal to anyone else’s and so Gardner should die for what he’d done. Not necessarily because he’s an escaped slave that’s lower than the guests
@@jedumale702I mean it doesn't matter what his view on life is, Snake is in the wrong here, so people making it seem like there should be no condemnation of his actions are kind of ridiculous
Snake's point is right on and you missed it by trying to be cheeky. Arnheid and Thorfinn don't answer him because they don't have an answer. I think you might need to revisit a certain AoT episode that covers a concept about a certain forest.
@@canadiandropout1432So you can't kill someone even if u got ur a$$hole graped by them?? And if u kill them then the grapist family has just as much right to kill u? Lmaoo nice logic fanboys but that's not the msg either anime was trying to give to u.
Vinland Saga really likes to play with the fans when someone gets stabbed. Always looks like it doesnt go deep but then death 😂 first Askeladd then Gardar
Yeah that shit hit me I’m not gonna lie😂😭Him seeing himself leave reminded me of interstellar and that always gets me too!!I actually love snake he’s just like Askeladd to me they both know that their bad people and they hate it but it is what it is his question is valid why is his peoples life worthless and who gets to decide it?Gardar was a slave because he went to war and lost that was a choice that he whole heartily regretted but then when he broke free he killed his slave master cool by me and snake he says he got what he deserved cause he always mistreated his slaves but Gardar also kills every boy in the master family they don’t say how young or if they were bad like the father so snake is just doing what he has to but you can tell it does weight heavy on him a bit
Great episode and lovely sombre reaction. Thanks for the common sense Sam, to the people going bu bu but the context..bu bu but time period. As if that makes it any better.
Well that doesn't make it any better but it's an explanation to how Snake views things. Gardar was a slave on a completely different farm. He intruded onto Ketils farm. Snakes men were doing their job and apprehending the intruder, but he ends up killing 5 of his men.
Beating up a woman, even if she's his slave, seems to make any man a villain, it's something that makes everything "black or white" very easy. I see few talk about the manipulative wife, who used the right words to convince the weakened husband, in a panic attack, to attack his slave, which she, the wife, hates so much. It seems clear to me that she intended for Ketil to overdo the beating and kill the poor slave. To put Ketil on the bad team only after this episode is to deny that he was already on the bad team from the beginning, and gained attention for being the least bit kind and avoiding the stereotyped villainous figure. For me, he is an excellent character with enough depth to make you think about different subjects, just like Askelad.
Its very interesting how emotions can manipulate the womens rational judgement. Even after accepting that garder killed those 5 mans ...they r still in hopes that he won't die. Its not like he was walking on the road and they enslaved him.....he was fighting in fucking war and his enemies defeated him and made him slave. If Garder have won he would have made his enemies slave. That was the rule at that time. Hence media people can play emotional angle on women to use them for their advantage. Or business people sell them things. Indeed very interesting episode.
Poor Arnheid has such a sad story, lost her son, her husband twice now, was swept up in the storm of his return and no faces some kind of punishment, is pregnant from a master who raped her and refuses to set her free like his other slaves. And the worst part was she was CONTENT to just raise her master's child to have some sort of a life. This poor woman.
I don't think yall understand the time period. Of course us in a civilized time period are going to favor thorfinn and arnheid but owning,selling, and punishing slaves is the norm. It isn't even given a second thought. I don't blame Snake for his own convictions.
I don't think you understand the premise of the show then, don't just bring up different time periods as justification, the whole point of the show is how bad war and slavery are, if you remember first ep opened with thors saving a slave and buying his freedom in his last moments So even if it's the norm doesn't mean it's right
@@doha1623 Talking about the NORMS its necessary because, even if having slaves is bad, in that time it was legal and helping a slave escape made you a criminal. So, in the eyes of the people in that time period, helping Gardar was a crime. More for Snake because 5 of his man died when they were doing what it was "legal" at that moment.
@@SadRengo I understand that and I get snake's pov but doesn't mean i should agree with it.. Even people in the show are trying to change those NORMS, thorfin Einar even sverkel was willing to help them escape
@@doha1623 No shit sherlock. No one is saying you can't agree with it, but slavery was widely accepted during those days and snake was right at that time.
@@doha1623 it is also poignant what snake said about the meaning of the lives of the people he cared about and whom gardar killed, FIVE OF THEM, is the life of one man worth five men? is gardar really that much of a saint his life counts more than five people? We've seen the flashback of his life, he killed people for sport too, he was no saint. I'm not even sure if slavery is bad, i mean freedom itself could be evil if freedom meant doing evil upon others, That's why we have laws, that's why we incarcerate evil people and put them to work for the benefit of the people they have harmed. What matters is that good is being done and evil is being avoided.
Completely unrelated to this beautiful episode, but since Dani brought it up last ep, Thorfinn is indeed very short. He's only about 5 ft at 22 years old. So definitely a short king. Einar is full foot taller at 6 ft.
If Gardar wins his war or whatever if probably will have slave. He deserved what he got but it sad at the same time. Snake was gentle with him for not killing him right after he killed two of his men
😍Dani🥰I hate house arrest, I have to be inside by 9pm🙄over a Glock that wasn’t mine. It was like 16 of us out there, but they had to charge me because I have a clean record and they know I’m T.Roy…😂My mom always tell me house arrest is probably saving my life💯

He also is the only STRONG warrior apart from Thors and Thorfinn I have seen that seems to Atleast care a lil about slaves

Probably one of the most emotional episodes of an anime ever made.

Hey, remember when Gardar murdered all those people and that's why they were chasing him? No? Okay then.
it’s not murder when you’re an escaped slave who killed your master and the people pursuing you lmao
Those people enslaved him and then Snake's men chased after him. He did nothing wrong
those people literally were trying to catch him and put him into slavery, even though he did nothing to deserve it.
Hey remember that he was a slave. The people he killed have no high moral ground. They killed people and enslaved him and he killed them right back.
