It can be werid when it's all in Japanese, but the only English word Thorfin knows is "run" because that's what all the people yell when they invade. Sad but a great detail.
dam i didnt notice that D:
I watched the dub and it made more sense
Watch Jojo's Part 3 if you think the languages here make no sense.
@@fahrenheit2101 an arabian 2 japanese people, one american and one french dude. Perfect.
Why Askeladd did that neck cut thing with his hand was him comically saying to Thorfinn "Hey do this mission and i'll reward you with a duel."
You ask multiple times why he fights with them, it's part of a deal he made with Askeladd. Remember Thorfinn has to be the one who kills Askeladd in a duel.
Askeladd has the right to say no to duels, so to "make use" of the kid he sends him on missions with a duel as a reward.
This is also why Thorfinn saves Askeladd at one point, so he can kill him later.
Oh! and i noticed you said you weren't at all familiar with norse history and such. A main thing to know about Norse history is, that it is a VERY honorbound societ so Thorfinn is very set on vengance for his Father.
An interresting thing Danish comedians have pointed out is even though we nordic hold a sense of pride over the Vikings, they were a past equevalent of terrorists, with the Raping and the raiding.
But it is also said that, since all written history about the Vikings were written by English scribes. The Vikings may very well have been painted in a worse light. There is one passage about how Vikings were devilious tempters because they bathed once a week and would seduce all the english women, so yeah.
@@dragsob Every Country/Community's warrior is another Country/Community's terrorist
It's part of his pride to only kill Askeladd in an actual duel, it's something about Nordic values and anything less would be a dishonor to his father
how the hell is this comment a month ago... this video was posted A day ago
@@jadonparan4508 patreon
Weird how one doesn't understand that after the show showing it. One culture can have different values than others.
Its important to remember, that this was always the plan. Thorfinn literally was on track to be a viking just like the men in this warband. Thats why he was playing war as a kid, it wasnt a game. Thats viking culture, viking training. "According to the oldest Scandinavian law books, a boy was legally considered an adult when he was 12 and able to participate in war so long as he could pass the lenient requirements for becoming a Viking warrior. "
Kids will be kids and games are games. Chess is also a war game. Doesn't mean chess players would actually enjoy going to war.
And look at kids today: every 5 year old kid wants to become either a cop or a fire fighter and likes to play as cowboy or spy and likes playing with toy guns. But then they grow up.
The only person in that settlement in Iceland who knew what the viking life was really like abandoned it because he learned how awful and horrible it was. And that's despite the fact that Thors was at least an actual proper Viking and not pirate scum like Askeladd.
There is a distinction.
Even when the kids were "playing Viking" they were fighting each other with weapons. As "proud warriors" on the battlefield.
They weren't playing "let's butcher unarmed, peaceful villagers!".
And it was never "the plan" for Thorfinn to abandon his mother, abandon his sister, ignore his father's wishes and words for the sake of choosing to hang out with pirates who pillage, rape and murder villages for fun and profit from the age of 6.
How does anyone watch this unfold and think to themselves "this is fine :)" It's deranged and so ironic, considering this is the prologue to the story and what the story is actually about
Your Quote literally changes nothing about the actual reality of the situation. It's like quoting how slaves were officially not considered as people and just property of the lawful owners. Or quoting how girls were legally considered adults when they were 12 and it was normal to use girls that young as pawns in political marriages. Stating such facts doesn't make those things any less inhumane than they are.
@@bexclue3007then u didnt understand what the show was about
@@Alex-dz8df yeah, I'm totally wrong. The show is definitely all about condoning indiscriminate slaughter, rape and slavery for profit and fun "bc it's just part of the culture" and people a 1000 years ago couldn't have possibly known that it was immoral.
I wonder why that culture didn't stand the test of time.
edit: actually, nvm. that "culture" does still exist. It's called organised crime. only difference is that those guys today don't give a fuck about Valhalla and don't have to be Scandinavian
RIP @Thorfinn's childhood and innocence
Our poor baby Thorfinn is gone 😢😞
You remember how happy the villagers in Thorfinn's village were happy they were going to war? Thats just how it was backing in the day for Vikings, war, pillaging they took pride in it, this isn't really a show that's simply good vs evil, there are a lot of Grey areas and complex characters
Vikings is more of a term for doing a raid. Let’s go on a Viking
Early viking/native interactions were friendly (well neutral (wary) and then reasonably friendly), but there was a lot of miscommunication and just general bad luck (western diseases and Cheese, of all things (which the natives thought was poisoned because it made them really sick to eat it)), which eventually soured the relations and had the natives drive them out.
They were also annoyed because the viking colonies wouldn't trade weapons or armor with them. Just goods and supplies.
The man who sent askellad to kill thors is floki, the one that was on the battle with him in episode one is thorkell, you will see him soon enough...
I guess something you guys would have to keep in mind through out this show is the time period and that this is a seinen anime not a shounen like my hero academia
For myself personally, this was one of the strongest episodes. Not to suggest the following episodes aren't great, they definitely are. I would even say this is a show that gets better with time, but the interactions between Thorfinn and the English mother and a lot of the subtle symbolism present throughout. Lots of emotion and heartache. The hair comb moment, the part where Thorfinn's eyes are enraged in a fight, to when they soften when they notice the English mother.
Regarding "Vikings" and historical peoples and cultures, its worth considering that environmental factors could have dramatically larger influence. Certain parts of the world, are colder, less fertile in the agricultural sense, have limited resources, so if there are a lot of people, the potential for conflict is high, people adapt for that. We see this reflected in their religion/mythology, ideas about afterlife, day to day routines, beauty standards, ethics and morals and so on. All in all this can mean good and bad things for those peoples and also the internal conflict and external conflict that occurs.
Vinland Saga is additionally interesting because we are getting all this through the lens of modern day people from a different culture, and we also have protagonists and often protagonists subvert certain expected ideas (think how Thors turned to pacifism) to provide contrast. Oh and finally, regarding interactions between Indigenous peoples of the Americas and outside peoples/settlers etc. While in modern times, looking back, we can see that history was not kind or positive to the development of various Indigenous Americans/First American tribes (I am being overly polite) not every single interaction was like this. So the Leif Erikson scene isn't necessarily a lie/deception. Lots of trade, camaraderie and wholesome interactions occurred, especially in certain locations and times. Just naturally overall, on the whole, that doesn't balance or strike out the overwhelming bad that happened. Hope that makes sense, gotta stick up for my boy Leif!
Am enjoying the reaction, am glad you all seem to enjoy the show too, its very underrated!
I love your reactions. I think psychologically it makes sense what he is doing. He was a kid when he saw his father killed by Askellad, as kids we tend to feel very non-complicated feelings(love, hate, sad, happy - world is black and white) and act on them - in this case its hate, and Askellad is the villain. He hates Askellad and therefore wants to kill him... But we are deep in the past, so he cannot just go back home for a few years to train coz finding Askellad then would be truly almost impossible - if he doesnt wanna lose sights of Askellad he has to stay with him, ofc the downside of that is that while he becomes a better fighter he becomes accustomed to death, blood and pain...war and figths are becoming his normal...and in a strange sort of way Askellad is the one raising him up here...this show is taking toxic family environement - to a whole new level XD
So the main reason why Thorfinn is helping Askeladd's crew is because Askeladd said that if Thorfinn does certain tasks to prove he is getting stronger (like invading the village and lighting the fire to show the crew where to target their attack via ship) that he will continue to give Thorfinn chances to duel askeladd to the death. Also if he doesn't stay with Askeladd's crew he may never find them again with them potentially going off and dying in war which means he would never get the satisfaction of avenging his father.
15:28 Thorfinn's face break my heart :c
Thorfinns a broken child who didn’t have the chance to grieve properly
"the medieval trilogy" of anime/manga:
1. Berserk
2. Claymore
3. Vinland Saga
highly recommend checking out (and would love reactions to) Claymore and Berserk!
(really love Claymore especially)
---------------
You should watch (I think you'll LOVE it) and react (would love to see it) to:
Claymore (26 episodes)
Claymore is the female version of Berserk (and Goblin Slayer and Demon Slayer) and has similar character design to that of the Witcher series (as they all came out around the same time, more or less, likely all influencing each other). Clare truly is Guts’ long lost sister of the sword.
While having nearly an entire female cast, this is no "girly anime", there's no/zero fanservice, and even their chest sizes are realistic, as these girls are all business, and that business is killing yomas
The girls are known as "Silver-Eyed Witches", as they're half-human and half-yoma, giving them their superhuman and inhuman power and abilities. They also are known as "Claymores", due to wielding 6 ft long claymore swords, and with only 1 hand, and they know how to use them. You don't f'k these girls, they f'k you.
Everyone LOVES Claymore, I've yet to meet a single person who doesn't love it, and also girls too love Claymore surprisingly, despite that Claymore is more of a guy's anime (action, violence, etc).
Also, Claymore is the most similar anime to Attack On Titan, even spoiling some major concepts in Attack On Titan. But, it's also completely different from Attack On Titan, of course. So, if you like Attack On Titan, you'll definitely love Claymore as well! If you think Mikasa is sexy and badass... wait until you see Clare (and someone else too)... grins
(japanese/raw or english dub, both are very good, you can see which you like better)
Vinland Saga really is the odd one out of this list lmao
Vinland Saga IMO is more comparable to Kingdom, which is also historical fiction.
now that is one heck of a schizo otaku comment if I've ever seen one 😂
brotherman I hope you've gotten your life back together in these 2 years since
At that point Norse and English sounded and were quite similar. Kinda like Spanish and Italian nowadays.
This is the good old days where killing and pillaging villages was like a hobby for vikings
The guy who looks asian is probably actually supposed to have sami heritage. The sami are a group of people indigenous to Siberia, and they migrated to Scandinavia a while before the viking age. Today they look no different from other scandinavians but back then they had alot of asiatic traits.
Thats the only thing that makes sense at least, some sami lived with the vikings but no asians did.
When you read the lyrics of the Ed song it breaks your heart more
Hey he didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose him.
The faces Sam makes in disgust of the violence are slaying me lmaoo

Continue to Part 2...
Thorfinn is doing what he is doing because he wants to challenge Askeladd. His hatred is greater than his innocence at this point.
Wait till the snow village
Imagine being the Thorfinn's first kill, training years and years in military just for being killed by 6 yo kid. Your whole life is a disappointment 😂
JUST IN CASE you don't like the pacing of the show, you have to be patient with vinland saga as it is carefully, poetically, and wonderfully written.
Interesting to hear that not all American schools focus on the same things in History, personally we spend a pretty heavy amount of time covering Viking stuff when it came to Europe and how civilizations developed. Its actually why I enjoyed shows like these so much....also whether Thors had died or not Thorfinn was being prepped to become a Viking, he would have likely still done similar things
the long road he fights with them, the emotion little by little is dissapeared. RIP Thorfinn :(
Considering they don't know how Vikings were, I have a feeling a lot of things would be lost on them, this could turn out to be a rough reaction lol, looking forward to it though
I know right, they keep saying why thorfinm is doing that knowing he is a kid and has grown up only knowing war
@@Matthew-uh9id the part that gets me is when they say why they not holding back hes just a kid as thorfin proceeds to stab that same person 🤣🤣🤣

Thorfinn only knows war The only person to teach him diffrent was his dad so of course he would give into hate and revenge
You should probably check some of the history surrounding the British Isles and a bit of the Danish viking culture. This show's probably going to become a bit confusing going on, if you don't know a bit about the different regions and people. No need to be historians, but since you mentioned not knowing much about it, it wouldn't hurt understanding a bit more behind the motives and values of these characters.
Getting through the previous episode and this one without realising Thorfinn's new goal in life is to kill Askeladd in a duel is a miracle, and I can't say I'm too happy about it.
Well this is seinen tag expect tragedy in adventure.. if shounen is for everybody then seinen is the opposite
The grandma couldn't understand what he was saying bc they speak two different languages. He said "run" in english but she was still confused as to what was going on.
They don’t speak danish, they speak old Norse which is an ancestral language of modern Swedish, Norwegian, danish etc
Guys you should remember that at that time it was kill or be killed🤷🏾♀️
He is with them because he wants to kill him. He needs to fight for them, to have a chance to fight him. This was also normal for Vikings.
askeladd did the slicing motion on his neck, so thorfinn does it to get the reward of dueling him 5head
dayum that girl sam is really pretty
Same reaction when he killed his first😭 I was like "first blood i guess?😬"
I'm Japanese
"Tokyo Magnitude 8.0" is recommended
Queen Dani 🖤
I never understand why everyone thinks Askelad & co. are so bad.
They are arguably the least bad.
Killing Thors, just a job, it’s not that different from killing somebody else.
They could’ve just killed Thorfinn, they didn’t.
Right?
Its a cry fest till the end now. This is a great anime from here on out. Happy to join the ride again with you guys.
5:58 except it’s not the norm. It was the norm for that stuff in that era. It was like as normal as grocery shopping for us to them. In today, that stuff is def not the norm. At least in most societies and human population. There are still a handful of countries where that is totally normal or encouraged. But in first world countries, no. Murder and rape still happen at a much lower number ofc, there will always be evil. But it’s seen in today’s society’s morals as cruel, evil, etc. that’s the difference.
Genuine question here, they don't learn about world history in general (like Vikings) in the USA?
tbh not really. American history classes don't really deep dived into Viking history.
@@acee5525 Oh i understand, then it will be really cool to see people who dont know a lot about it reacting to this show.
@@CarlosHenrique-hm3wc yep, it would be!
Sam is so cute😍. Nice reaction😁👍
Love from indonesia😊👋
Well, with only 6 years he was a little messed up, add to that being raised by murderers and rapists. With all that I'm actually surprised he didn't turned even worse tbh
So they asked when he would see his sister and mother again.
Spoiler alert on a story from 1000years ago but thorfinn karlsfanii left Iceland with his father when he was 8 years old, he wouldn't see his mother or sister again until he was in his mid 20s
6-year-old Nord > grown ass Englishman
10:47 That means do this one and you'll have your reward. A chance to cut my neck off which is a duel.
They haven’t reached Vinland yet, it’s just some island
It's england
@@feelssogood252 yeah that one, thanks
From what I found it’s said to be Eastern Canada. In the area surrounding Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
lmao this made me want to play skyrim too
check out great pretender, best anime 2020
I mean they could've been nice to them since they didn't ya know colonize them alot of indigenous tribes where really nice and cordial to new visitors ya know
Double reaction 🙏🏾
LOVE left💓
Sam! 😍😁
Can't get 2 seconds into the video w/o Sam showing off.
My favorite anime second to one piece
I wouldn't wanna live back then
My response as someone who's childhood heroes was anyone who weilded a sword and practicing Martial Arts since a kid :
Send me back; PLEASE!!!!!
Can y’all stfu asking why he’s fighting with them it’s obviously REVENGE you literally watched a few episodes back
its like Deku scream after training on the beach
@@michaelthompson7081 if you don't like reactions why u watch or spend time commenting
This is the worst episode that you can make. I don't even know how you all can continue watching this after what thorffin just did. What happened in this episode is disgusting
