"I want to be a kinder, gentler person. I want to be... a stronger person." This line is one of my favorites in any fiction. There's a plethora of examples in media where strength is equated to power, respect and the "no fucks given" philosophy. That a man's worth comes from his ability to be "better" than his fellow men. Vinland challenges that perspective, proposing that true strength comes from your ability to care for others and create. To be able to leave the Earth in a better state than you found it, even if you contributed to it's ruin in the past, it's never too late to start making amends.
it made me feel hope for the first time in a very long time, i had always felt as though i could never undo what i had done in the past, and that is entirely true, what i have done will always remain a fact, but proving that i can do everything in my power to make it better is what truly matters. creating instead of destroying, caring instead of hating. it takes so much more strength to truly care for the world and people around you. who i was doesn't define who i am. maybe for others around me, but i know it's not true of myself. making amends and moving on is so much better than giving up and giving in. only wished i had realized it sooner.
I’m still very early on in reading it, but I also appreciate how Hell’s Paradise has a similar theme of men NOT having to be unthinking, unfeeling vessels of anger and violence. Being emotionally vulnerable and honest with ourselves and caring for others is strength, and Gabimaru has started to attain that through his marriage but can’t really define that yet
same, I decided to catch up to the manga a couple weeks ago. It's like when you learn a new word and it suddenly starts appearing everywhere. Or when you meet someone new and start seeing them around everywhere.
Why? Just to let you know there are many books comics games and more that cover this topics Viland saga isn't alone im fact why people overhyped this trash
Honestly, the fact that the meme from Vinland Saga is about being kind is exactly what Yukimura would probably want. The fact that with all the violence you see toward the beginning and even throughout the series, it's a breath of fresh air to see the "No enemies" line be the one that shines through it all.
@Latvian Dragon That's pretty silly. This was a time of conflict and change for the Norse, and not everyone would have been very violent. It's also hard to imagine that some people wouldn't have suffered from ptsd. The original Vinland Sagas included the Christianization of Greenland and Vinland. So there is precedent in the source text. Art is meant to show the world that can exist. Showing how war affected Thorfinn, and how death and violence effects everyone in the story, is within that artistic vision and is very well done.
I love that vinland saga is becoming popular, but what i love more is that this meme is a very positive one that can actually do proper good by being shared around. It's a philosophy that I think everyone should consider applying to their lives.
It's a huge manga by the author of Planetes. Curious how little attention you serve out to those people following it, just for being ouside the US iron curtain bubble. Curious, but not uncommon, USA is very hostile even to Spanish speakers watching Saint Seya, to let them learn civics in school in their native language, let alone anyone learning Japanese. Instead, USA has no official language but still barely any schools for the unofficial ones. The network to IMPORT foreign art is not very solid, when all you ahve is fractured minds doing shooting drills in Uvalde, and who have to translate their day in school to share it with their parents. Not even immigrants but people who were there when it was annexed like Ukraine. Your life that you apply, is the political forces you fund. And the application form USA is HEAVY.

@@erc200 so god has enemies and there are also my enemies aswell but loves them with that logic you presented wouldn't that impile we should love the devil and explain to me how can an all powerful god even have enemies
I think that many people do not understand the meaning of this phrase. "I have no enemies" does not refer to the fact that no one wants to attack you, insult you or be against you, it refers to the value that you give to those actions, the fact that you should be a better person, not respond and break the cycle of violence, I have no enemies is like saying "I don't hate anyone", your enemies are decided by you, it is something metaphorical, not literal.
@@MobuThorsNighT0 if only violence only needed to notn be returned for the "cycle" to be broken. its a very ignorant philosophy thats why , as much as its cool for vinland saga , their is too much hate tribalism and evil people in real life for that mentality to carry.
@@MobuThorsNighT0 yea nobody said that you can't protect yourself or others or even destroy something when it has to be done. The key here is to not hate and just do what has to be done if it needs to be done. The cycle of violence continues through revenge hate and emotion (and just some guys being straight up evil).
@@Valysion The problem with the phrase alone is it generalizes that there is no enemies. Like recognizing that everything is white and theres no black and gray. But the reality is as long as you have something to protect, something you care about, there will always be someone or something against you. There will always be enemies, there will always be extremes. There will always be unforgivable. What should matter is understanding the grey parts, and not being driven by emotions. But it is also important to recognize the extreme evil and not be such a fool like not recognizing that you are being exploited and being destroyed by what you perceive as "not enemies". Like you said if its something to be done
I actually talked to my father about the problems we had and worked it out between us after reading Vinland saga so I'm glad its getting more and more popular
Last of Us 2 parades that philosophy around and shoves it in your face without actually taking the time to do the heavy lifting necessary to properly convey it to it's players. Vinland spent it's entire first season lulling it's viewers into a false sense of direction showing how cool and epic Thorfinn's journey of revenge was at times while at the same time planting the seeds necessary for the massive tonal shift that is season 2 where it then hyper focuses on the consequences of war and violence. It's an intended tonal whiplash that manages to be a wake up call to the viewers who aren't just there for an action show. Storytelling done right, making you reevaluate the story so far with a new perspective instead of spoon feeding ideas.
@rohandasgupta8758 I, respectfully, disagree. Despite the name I never saw Shawshank's Redemption as a, well, redemption story, yes the friend does prove to be a better person in the end but we have never been asked to focus on his character progress. And Schindler's List is not about "redemption" either, he does initially hire the Jews because it's profitable for him but quickly changes his intentions to helping them while still doing what he had always been doing. There was not a lot to redeem in the first place. That being said both are GOATed stories just like Vinland Saga.
@rohandasgupta8758Do you compare One Piece's stupid arcs with Vinland Saga? One Piece is a children's anime with stupid, dirty characters. Pirates fighting for money and kingship.
@@aaryasharma4940 there is no seinen big three and btw vinland saga has low manga sales compared to a lot of seinen vinland saga has 7 million + while vagabond kingdom and berserk have 50 to 90 million 😂 Vinland is indeed underrated
I love these kind of memes, ones that encourages people to do good. The internet nowadays are filled with negativity and drama left and right, so this is definitely a good change of pace.
Christianity play a big role in the series. While Thorfinn isn't necessarily religious, it does serve as a motivation for some other Norsemen in the story that also want to build something better.

I must say, I always like that this channel backs up some of the lessons with actual academic papers. …. although the sheer number of academic papers that are about or relevant to memes is surprising.
It really is & there are so many other things in Vinland Saga that exhibit such hopefulness. Really amazing to see this part of it get popular & not the other violent stuff.
Vinland Saga is a masterpiece and it's such a shame to see people get filtered by the slower pace and less action of the 2nd season. The whole point of the story from the very first chapter is "fighting is bad". It's a story about humanity.
Vinland is the only anime I can recommend to friends who haven't watched any before. The story is great and they enjoy it like it was any other show they'd watch.
Vinland saga literally changed my life, I believed everything that hates you, that others hate, you have to hate too, no its different, life is too beautiful for us to be hating, there's no benefit in having enemies, I completely shifted and rocketed in my life because of this anime and line "I have no enemies"
I've been thinking this since I was little. "Hate" is such a strong negative emotion and to harbour that throughout your every day will just make you feel more negative as a result. For the people that wrong you, channel that strong emotion into gratitude for the people that have stuck around with you, and pride in yourself for not letting a hater get the best of you.
As someone whos been a big fan of Nujabes for a few years now, its amazing seeing my feed filled with his song Aruarian Dance in the background of all these memes. theres somthing so surreal about seeing your favourite song getting exposed to hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who hadnt heard it before, and having it be shown to them in such a positive way. I can still remember my first time hearing the song and I hope this meme has allowed others to feel the same level of peacefulness as i did when i first heard it.
Mackay fans be like "You have no enemies? Alas, you have been a coward in the fight." My brother in christ I've achieved the peace all true warriors strive for
In the never-ending vortex of polarization that is the world we are stuck in, it warms my heart to see this phrase being spread around. "Do I not destroy my enemies by making them my friends?"
I'll just leave this here. Since Vinland saga is a work of art and art is subject for interpretation, I think I will give my own here. I have no enemies is an ideal imo. It's something you may know is unobtainable. It just seems so unlikely especially the way we are now. Warring in comment sections like the disagreements we brook here will somehow affect us personally. For my personal journey I think adapting some form of pacifism is useful. I mean if say I was attacked of course I will defend myself. If someone attacks someone near and dear to me I will then try and pursue justice. But I will not actively seek out conflict nor hurt others who aren't even involved. I think having no enemies entails not making any more than what you already have. I may be rambling here but I can say that while I don't have any enemies per se. I can be more mindful of how I deal with people so I won't make more enemies.
I love this anime/manga it’s my favorite for its writing and characters and what it teaches it’s viewers is very special. It’s awesome to see the series getting its due love from people now, not without its hate but if people go into it expecting an action anime they will be very disappointed as the main focal point is through the characters and writing as Makoto Yukimura has implied. The philosophies in how someone can change and be a “true warrior” through loving and appreciating life rather than squandering it by killing and hating is something truly special.
A lot of people don't realize that "You have no enemies, there is no one it's okay to hurt" is Thors message to a 6-year old child It's supposed to be simplified, extreme and not applicable to every single nuance in life because a child isn't ready for that yet
That's so stupid because people are just gonna hurt you. It's literally just turn the other cheek which is the dumbest part of Christianity. Turn the other cheek may seem like it's about forgiveness but that's not true. Turn the other cheek is about submission to evil as what it actually is is what would you do if you are slapped turn the other cheek and offer it to the slapper if somebody were to rob you and take your coat give them your shirt too etc. It's literally telling you to play a good rousing game of front hand back hand.
@@saiyanfang1047 These christians values are logical for the characters in the setting. Thors (Thorfinn's dad) was alive during the period known as the Christianization of Denmark (which was during Canute's ancestors reign). Even if you find it "naive" is something chronologically correct for a character to suddenly adopt such philosophy, and in the story is used by the author to explain Thorfinn's motivation to flee to Vinland. It's not about applying this to your daily life basis, is about how it makes sense for these characters to feel this way.
@@ardenorcrush649 Yeah it's logical. I wasn't talking about how it's dumb that they have christian beliefs. Just how dumb turn the other cheek is as a concept.
This meme is literally my role model. *_*Violence is never the answer. We can all get what we want, as long as nobody has to get hurt, physically, mentally, or emotionally.*_*
I honestly think Vinland saga isn't just a fight/action show, it really sells the story with believable characters and their even smallest interactions. Great anime
I feel like a lot of good anime start off as shonen. Shonen is easier to market, so authors purposely dumb down the first few bits to introduce people to the manga and/or anime, and once it acquires a following, that’s when things hit the fan. Like Attack on Titan. It started off as a shonen, but nobody could have predicted it would turn into the complex story it is, even for manga readers.
Man, I think it's just beautiful. This type of memes shows us that there are or just might be people who love each other, shows us irrational (in today's world) and peaceful type of human being. To be honest I watch these memes with big smile, because I seriously want to live like these people in these memes XD
Incredible story. I expected him to become stronger and better than anyone but he changed completely in the second season. Finally he did not rely on violence and instead chose to "run" when forced. That is peak fiction. His father did not teach him to fight but Thorfin understood what he told him at their final moment. Finally the circle was completed and Thorfin has no enemies.
"I have no enemies" for I have killed them all "I have no enemies" for I have yet to make some "I have no enemies" for I befriend everyone, even if they still don't like me. Here be the three thoughts and ways I could see this being said would mean.
@@shtickofwar yes good wisdom, but that is still partial to what I've said. an enemy doesn't mean some one to kill but some one you can't trust as well. Wisdom is wisdom we share it well, with different sight and words we speak or tell but all and all by the end our our tale. We mean the same thing but in different ways spoken by word or mail.

recently it's been to general and repetetive
Do you know what website he uses for the articles and psychology studies?

It really is & there are so many other things in Vinland Saga that exhibit such hopefulness. Really amazing to see this part of it get popular & not the other violent stuff.
Vinland Saga is a masterpiece and it's such a shame to see people get filtered by the slower pace and less action of the 2nd season.
The whole point of the story from the very first chapter is "fighting is bad". It's a story about humanity.
Yeah that segment of adult Thorfinn hallucinating the people he unalived is just a masterpiece
Don't worry they'll return during the baltic war arc because fighting good
@@smugofbishamonten1447 after reading AOT and Berserk, I don't even want to see any fighting in Vinland Saga
I'm so happy that Vinland Saga is getting more attention. The slave arc is a spiritual journey.
Even i had some character development during the slave arc
Damn it had slave arc??? Is there any cotton fields in that manga?
@@NetBattler not funny, it's much more of a mature and serious arc. It got some backlash due to lack of fights
@@aaryasharma4940 ever heard of dark joke?
@@NetBattler I've heard like a billion dark jokes and this is the most unfunny joke I've ever heard

Glad that the music of Nujabes is used for that
Vinland is the only anime I can recommend to friends who haven't watched any before. The story is great and they enjoy it like it was any other show they'd watch.
"I have no enemies" mfs go real quiet when you hit them with "so pedos are youre allies"
Vinland saga literally changed my life, I believed everything that hates you, that others hate, you have to hate too, no its different, life is too beautiful for us to be hating, there's no benefit in having enemies, I completely shifted and rocketed in my life because of this anime and line
"I have no enemies"
Same here

I have no enemies
I've been thinking this since I was little. "Hate" is such a strong negative emotion and to harbour that throughout your every day will just make you feel more negative as a result. For the people that wrong you, channel that strong emotion into gratitude for the people that have stuck around with you, and pride in yourself for not letting a hater get the best of you.
Vinland Saga has encoraged me to quite smoking, it's a life changing story that I highly recommend🙏 ❤
As someone whos been a big fan of Nujabes for a few years now, its amazing seeing my feed filled with his song Aruarian Dance in the background of all these memes. theres somthing so surreal about seeing your favourite song getting exposed to hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who hadnt heard it before, and having it be shown to them in such a positive way. I can still remember my first time hearing the song and I hope this meme has allowed others to feel the same level of peacefulness as i did when i first heard it.
Vinland Saga is the only manga to ever make me cry and I’ve read a lot of seinen. Beautiful story.
Mackay fans be like "You have no enemies? Alas, you have been a coward in the fight."
My brother in christ I've achieved the peace all true warriors strive for
Ladies and Gentlemen, the meme has finally been animated.
In the never-ending vortex of polarization that is the world we are stuck in, it warms my heart to see this phrase being spread around. "Do I not destroy my enemies by making them my friends?"
I like how Vinland saga doesn’t show the horrors of war itself it shows the horrors of what comes afterwards
I'll just leave this here. Since Vinland saga is a work of art and art is subject for interpretation, I think I will give my own here.
I have no enemies is an ideal imo. It's something you may know is unobtainable. It just seems so unlikely especially the way we are now. Warring in comment sections like the disagreements we brook here will somehow affect us personally.
For my personal journey I think adapting some form of pacifism is useful. I mean if say I was attacked of course I will defend myself. If someone attacks someone near and dear to me I will then try and pursue justice. But I will not actively seek out conflict nor hurt others who aren't even involved. I think having no enemies entails not making any more than what you already have.
I may be rambling here but I can say that while I don't have any enemies per se. I can be more mindful of how I deal with people so I won't make more enemies.
I love this anime/manga it’s my favorite for its writing and characters and what it teaches it’s viewers is very special.
It’s awesome to see the series getting its due love from people now, not without its hate but if people go into it expecting an action anime they will be very disappointed as the main focal point is through the characters and writing as Makoto Yukimura has implied. The philosophies in how someone can change and be a “true warrior” through loving and appreciating life rather than squandering it by killing and hating is something truly special.
A lot of people don't realize that "You have no enemies, there is no one it's okay to hurt" is Thors message to a 6-year old child
It's supposed to be simplified, extreme and not applicable to every single nuance in life because a child isn't ready for that yet
Oh wise wenli, please bless us with your wisdom
That's so stupid because people are just gonna hurt you. It's literally just turn the other cheek which is the dumbest part of Christianity. Turn the other cheek may seem like it's about forgiveness but that's not true. Turn the other cheek is about submission to evil as what it actually is is what would you do if you are slapped turn the other cheek and offer it to the slapper if somebody were to rob you and take your coat give them your shirt too etc. It's literally telling you to play a good rousing game of front hand back hand.
@@saiyanfang1047 These christians values are logical for the characters in the setting. Thors (Thorfinn's dad) was alive during the period known as the Christianization of Denmark (which was during Canute's ancestors reign). Even if you find it "naive" is something chronologically correct for a character to suddenly adopt such philosophy, and in the story is used by the author to explain Thorfinn's motivation to flee to Vinland. It's not about applying this to your daily life basis, is about how it makes sense for these characters to feel this way.
@@ardenorcrush649 Yeah it's logical. I wasn't talking about how it's dumb that they have christian beliefs. Just how dumb turn the other cheek is as a concept.
@@saiyanfang1047 which are the better pacifist? Kenshin or thorfinn?
This meme is literally my role model.
*_*Violence is never the answer. We can all get what we want, as long as nobody has to get hurt, physically, mentally, or emotionally.*_*
then enjoy after they brutally murder your wife in front of you and the criminals request your forgiveness..
how long until the edgy person comes in
@@Mentallyheld im realist and pragmatic, i dont agree with utopic and stupid ideals
@@SalvadorBodoque oh how sad
I honestly think Vinland saga isn't just a fight/action show, it really sells the story with believable characters and their even smallest interactions. Great anime
Cause it isnt...
@@povcvv it indeed is not
After reading both the manga and watching the anime I can confirm that the qoute "I have no enemies" is the deepest qoute in Vinland saga.
This meme should be posted everywhere on Twitter.
When Thorfin with those long hair and facial hair said "I have no enemies", the first thing that came to my mind is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Be Strong enough to be gentle
I have no enemies is probably the best meme that came from Vinland saga.😺
1:38 Kids are so wholesome. THEre's also the girl who cried when she had toeat the meal arranged like a smiley face because it was too cute.
I feel like a lot of good anime start off as shonen.
Shonen is easier to market, so authors purposely dumb down the first few bits to introduce people to the manga and/or anime, and once it acquires a following, that’s when things hit the fan.
Like Attack on Titan. It started off as a shonen, but nobody could have predicted it would turn into the complex story it is, even for manga readers.
I've read the manga and I must say, thorfinn character development is one of the best I've seen thus far in shonen and seinen.
Might also be in writing but I would say there are more hidden gem waiting to discover out there
How to create Vinland, asking for a friend
by having no enemies at all.
Do everything opposite of what Christopher Columbus did
Man, I think it's just beautiful. This type of memes shows us that there are or just might be people who love each other, shows us irrational (in today's world) and peaceful type of human being. To be honest I watch these memes with big smile, because I seriously want to live like these people in these memes XD
Truly a Vinland Saga moment
I waited until the anime caught up to this panel because I'm not reading ahead til this season ends, and it was so worth it
"You can go about life helping others instead of killing them" damn, why did noone tell me this sooner

Its nice to see the Strong Enough to be Kind philosophy getting some rep.
Vinland Saga is such a great manga, definitely up there as an important part of The Bigger Three alongside Vagabond and Berserk.
Most shounen is about wanting to be a strong person. Vinland saga is about wanting to be a person of strength.
Finally somebody made a video about that, I've started seeing this everywhere and was confused as hell

Well i gonna do some research about this dude
i love how the internet had a character development from Andrew Tate Sigma Grindset mentality to Thors Stoic You Have No Enemies mentality
My god, it’s here. The final piece of 2023 positivity and good, portrayed by such an amazing man.

@@egbertmilton4003 not with that attitude it's not
@@kwispybacon2912 It's just not lol. Not because of a manga at least. Accept reality instead of subscribing to wishful thinking.
Incredible story. I expected him to become stronger and better than anyone but he changed completely in the second season. Finally he did not rely on violence and instead chose to "run" when forced. That is peak fiction.
His father did not teach him to fight but Thorfin understood what he told him at their final moment. Finally the circle was completed and Thorfin has no enemies.
"I have no enemies" for I have killed them all
"I have no enemies" for I have yet to make some
"I have no enemies" for I befriend everyone, even if they still don't like me.
Here be the three thoughts and ways I could see this being said would mean.
He has no enemies, as in, no one is deserving to be hurt or killed, because no man truly is worthy of killing.
@@shtickofwar yes good wisdom, but that is still partial to what I've said. an enemy doesn't mean some one to kill but some one you can't trust as well.
Wisdom is wisdom we share it well, with different sight and words we speak or tell but all and all by the end our our tale. We mean the same thing but in different ways spoken by word or mail.
Thanks for the spoiler warning! I will watch this in a few months then :)
Miyamoto Musashi: the most skilled swordsman of all time who also had no enemies. Fight not because you hate those before you, but because you love those behind you.

Well thanks to the meme at least some people discovered a masterpiece manga
I have no enemies 😔
Thorfinn Karlsefni: I have no enemies.

I love the idea of you have no enemies, but when ur the victim of violence its hard to agree.
