      Thank you so much, Philip, for the education that you bring to us in these videos! They are so much fun and I really like learning about the historical side of the story! And I really feel that your historical knowledge of the story makes the story that much more powerful to me and probably others as well!
      Again, thank you so much!

    I know some people dislike this change in direction for the story, but god this arc is what turned vinland saga into one of my favourite stories I've ever experienced. It just engages me on such a deep level, and Thorfinn truly begins the character journey that makes him one of the best protagonists ever written in my eyes.

    • @marocat4749
      @marocat4749 Рік тому +8

      I get both, its a sudden shift of tone, and yukimura is too good at conflicts, but this change is really making it a good fundament to build upon which stil has action but also thorfim really likable and havig to test his vow is really engaging an fun, and has more weight. Like a world iof violence done wel done is good, but trying to be as pacifist, oh hard run, very fun. Especialy as h never really stops to be a warrior but he hasa way harder fight, in the same world.
      And that arc i get and felt the prupt, but alsoits nesseary good groundwork to buy how he changes. An canute

    Loved your discussion. I really felt the theme of the meaning of masculinity. I've known some Olmar's in my life, and I felt sorry for him, and simultaneously wanted to pop him in the mouth. I guess I'm not as over my school-age trauma as much as I'd like to think! Also super-relatable was the farm work. I have a stand of trees in my backyard that I don't want there and I've been cuttng them down and digging up the stumps. What I would give for a big strong horse!

    Regarding the runes on the cover: I came across this youtube video earlier called "appreciating little historical details in vinland saga" by Red Bard and she mentioned that she had consulted with dr. Roderick Dale, who designed the runes for the cover and the book plate inside, and indeed his name is mentioned in the book credits. He is mentioned as being part of the Centre for the Study of the Viking Age at the University of Nottingham.

    Please read the short story "Kumo no Ito" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa.
    『One day, Buddha was walking by the lotune day, Buddha was walking by the lotus pond in paradise. There is hell far below, and a man named Kandata can be seen struggling in the pond of blood.
    During his lifetime, Kandata was a great thief who committed many heinous crimes such as murder and arson. But even he did one good deed. Considering the life of a small spider on the side of the road, he saved it without stepping on it.
    Remembering this, Buddha decided to rescue him from Hell, and threw a spider's thread toward Hell.
    When Kandata, who was drowning in the pond of blood, looked up, a single silver thread was dripping down. Thinking that this would get him out of Hell, he grabbed the spider's thread and climbed up with all his might.
    Kandata, who was tired from climbing the mountain, was resting by hanging from the middle of the thread because there is a tremendous distance between hell and paradise. But when He looked down, hundreds and thousands of sinners, crawling out of the dark pool of blood and clinging to spider's thread , approached his in a procession. Thinking that the spider's thread would break because it could not bear the weight, Kandata shouted, "Hey, sinners. This spider's thread belongs to me. Get off. Get off!"
    Suddenly, the spider's thread snapped right where Kandata was, and he and the sinners fell headlong into the darkness.
    Buddha, who was watching the whole thing from above, left the lotus pond with a sad expression on his face.』
    Yukimura seeks a way for humans to live beyond the walls of Christianity and Buddhism.
