Thorfinn is honestly someone I look up to and try to pattern my life after. Hardly a day goes by where I don't think about his philosophy he learned from Thors to have no enemies. This series is truly a masterpiece. I hope we get a season three because (NO SPOILERS) we aren't even halfway through the story yet.
Same here
Vinland Saga and Thorfinn taught me that a real man is strong and kind. Something I have patterned my own life after. To be a kinder, gentler person.
Canute bursting into laughter after seeing what sort of person Thorfinn has become is similar to Askeladd laughing in Season 1 after witnessesing Canute's transformation.
Askeladd also changed immediately, committing himself to serving his new Artorious.
Canute discovered that sparing Thorfinn years ago was the best decision. Realizing this silenced the voice of Sweyn in his head and allowed him to become a benevolent ruler.
I just read that chapter yesterday and thought the exact same thing! Oh the similarities between Askeladd and Canute
Thanks for this, it makes me look at Canute's laughter in that scene a little differently, I thought it was strange how Canute went from mocking Thorfinn straight to respect, his laughter was like a sigh of relief
What is funny is that when Canute said "who did you take after ?" (About being eloquent) Everyone says immediately "His father" but in my mind, it's more Askeladd for the eloquence part no ? Indeed, his father teached him the way of non-violence but the eloquence part is more an Askeladd thing in my opinion :D What do you guys think ?
It really was Askeladd. And Canute already noticed. 😂 That pose gave it away
@@veronxska When Thorfinn first responded that he would run, that's what Thors would have said. When he told Canute to work harder/do a better job, that's what Askeladd would have said.
@N8 the Gr8
I just rewatched the ep again and noticed this!! I do think it’s a bit of both’
Canute is not drunk in power ,its the complete contrary , the power WEIGHTS on him A LOT ,which is represented by his always somber semblance AND by his father constantly haunting his thoughts.
He knows that the viking way is to fight.conquer and pillage until they die and that causes endless bloodshed ,BECAUSE WE CANT HAVE A PARADISE on EARTH ,BECAUSE WE FAILED GOD and ruined paradise, WE can never find peace and Canute thought that the only way around was to conquer everything under only one hand as the only option left.BECAUSE HE THOUGHT PEOPLE CANT CHANGE ,which Thorfinn proved him wrong.
This is how I interpreted it. He doesn't believe people failed God, but that God expects humans to love others unconditionally like he does, yet God himself took that ability away from them. So he rebels against God and the "trials" he has set for humanity.
@@SolProxy That could be a very good interpretation if you take the nihilistic teachings of the drunk priest as the dogma Canute would follow.
Except that even in the crazy interpretation the drunk priest made of the bible,it was not GOD who took away men capability to love unconditionally ,men did it themselves.
The drunk bastard thought that God created men,men were violent , so violence was part of god will for men ,an inevitable choice.
If Canute wanted to rebel against God based on that premise,IMHO he would be pacifist and not a conqueror.
@@yukiotakata He wants to peace, but he believes it can't be achieved without unifying humanity, and that needs war (which he still tries to avoid). Paradise exists only in Heaven but not on Earth, so he wishes to create paradise on Earth which would be going against God's plan. So in that way he's rebelling.
Thorfinn means a lot to me too. My heart swells every time I experience this episode! I know it's sappy, but I think anyone who connects with this show can understand my state of mind. A better world is possible. It is within reach, right here, right now. We can all be better. Gentleness. Kindness. Forgiveness. For the Arnheids of the world we MUST be better.
this comment made me almost cry wow
I definitely get where you’re coming from! I truly hope people take away the show’s messages and themes
I agree, my heart warms every time I think about Thorfinn or Vinland Saga. It's truly a gem of a lifetime
Episode 23 marks the end of the "farmland saga" arc of the story so I think it's plausible to call it the actual season finale even tho it's not the last episode. The next episode will serve as an epilogue
Ahhh thankyou for clarifying! I was ecstatic with this episode but was a little confused as to what would happen next considering this was so well wrapped up 😅
@@withneeks Well I'd say next episode wraps it up even better.
also the more I think about it, the more I think it was likely that Canute pulled back forces to save money BUT this still wouldnt have been a thought without thorfinn! I LOVE THIS SHOW AND THORFINN 🥹
Well he thought it was necessary to rule with force. Which is why he needed the farms. Thorfinn showed him it's possible to rule without an iron fist
Thorfinn is light!
He had to pull them after deciding to spare the other farms, so yeah, it was because of Thorfinn.
Canute won't be haunted by his dad's head anymore and i love they gave the old master a chair and farming tool to hold. He loved to farm. Also in rhe manga Olmar gave half their wealth to the families that suffered during the fight. Thorgil became a wanderer and never seen again.
And Thorfinn reject the money too because he was aware of Olmar needs to rebuild the farm and help the people. And Olmar too sell a great portion of the farm as Sverkel said the danger of having a big land
He never comes back not even in the manga???
Canute was trying to change everything by taking care of the main problem first, vikings. He gave them purpose by gathering them in with a single goal and doing it in the least violent way possible, which is why he killed every king by poisoning them.
Yeah this is true! I think I've stated in the past that Canute and Thorfinn seemed to have similar goals but were going about things differently!
I think your shock comes from misreading canute, he didn't want to keep his power for the sake of it, he truly believes what he says, so after his interaction with thorfinn he no longer feels alone and decided to look for other approach.
Imagine seeing someone who was so violent, a kid full of hatred became such a peaceful man, I would've got inspired too
But seriously Canute after meeting Thorfinn looks like he can breathe now lol 😅
I just wanted to say, I don't really watch anime reactions but your Vinland Saga reactions have been truly awesome, enough to make me a fan. I tried some others but you have an aura of authenticity and down to earth that is captivating and makes me look out for your uploads.
I hope you're having a good day neeks! Much love from a fellow Aussie with a grey cat 😊
UMMMM WTH this is such an amazing compliment thankyou!! Tbh Vinland Saga has been one of my favourite shows to react to, it just brings me so much feeling and so many things to think about!
“Fellow aussie with a grey cat” 🥺😭
@@withneeks I feel the same, it's a once in a lifetime story for me. It came at such an important time in my life, I'm rarely moved by shows, but the strength and kindness told through the lens of Thorfinn despite everything he's been through has echoed so deeply within me, it makes me want to be a better man on a day-to-day.
It's been so nice witnessing someone be moved the same way I have! I'll be sure to tune into more of your reactions 😊🖤
@@rainyday_vg These comments are so sweet. I feel the same way.
It's crazy to think about how many people were indirectly saved by the actions of a single person (Torfin). The oppression of the King canude would have continued endlessly if it weren't for him. The lesson I take from this is that sometimes you just need to try; nobody else considered simple dialogue except for him.
Thorfinn really embodies what a real man is. That is excatly how every man should be, and that is the kind of masculinity we need
please dont read Canute's character wrong, he is not "drunk on power" as you say when he was giving that speech about rebelling against god, truly is an incredible man like Thorfinn said, remember it was first Canutes original idea to build paradise on earth, he came to that realization before Thorfinn and dam did he try!
i mean he kinda was... dont forget he killed his own brother. i find odd how they paint canute in this positive attitude after what he did .
@@FZJanimatedIt's not because he's drunk on power though. It's because he believes he has to be a ruler strong and violent enough to rule the vikings so that he can save them. He wants to obtain as much power as he can so the vikings respect him and then he can change their beliefs.
Yes, Canute had been struggling because of all the scheming and backstabbing involved in his coronation and rule. He wasn't drunk on power; he was scared because he had been doing things alone and everyone was potentially someone who wanted him dead, which is why he would get the upper hand somehow before all negotiations, and focused so much on military power to control the population. But because of all this, he started fearing that he would become like Sweyn, which is why he sees Sweyn's ghost taunting him so often.
Thanks to Thorfinn, Canute saw that not everyone wants to stab him in the back, and that diplomacy and respect should ideally be attempted before any act of violence. I've seen many saying that it's unrealistic for Canute to give up the farm and leave, but he never wanted to do it in the first place; he only needed the farm because of his insistence on military might, so he just needed Thorfinn's push to overcome his fears and become a more diplomatic king.
@@FZJanimated He wasn't necessarily drunk with power (but he was heading down that path) but he was very misguided
Thinking on it after my initial reaction, I agree with you! But I also stand by that he wanted more power (even if it was to rebel against god and save the vikings) and I do think that he could have easily headed down that path, especially with his father's influence in his head!
Thorfinn is my favorite mc ever, I firmly believe everyone needs to watch this show at least once.
I've been on a kick of watching people's reactions after watching this last episode lol. Vinland Saga has done an amazing job of tying this arc up and developing the characters, more so than most other anime that I'm a fan of too. It's reassuring that other people are also being flooded with emotion.
Interesting fact is that the Episode 1 of season 1 is named "Someplace is not here" and now they're leaving the farm with words : "Someplace is not here".
Stages of GOATland Saga:
Season 1 is "Someplace is not here".
Season 2 is "This place is not here, but I know where".
Season 3 is the "Hard road to that place".
Season 4 is the "Which way will lead us to paradise?"
Season 5 is "Father, that place is right in front of me". 😢
When Canute asks Thorfinn who he takes after, the look on his face as he narrows his eyes reminds me more of Askeladd's than Thors. In spite of his actions, he was Thorfinns father figure for longer than Thors was even alive. I think Thorfinn had a good ol silent realization there. So now he has to grapple with the fact that he is like both of them; Thors' ideals, and Askeladd's way with words/skill in battle.
It’s interesting bc upon rewatching/editing I think it’s both!! In that one scene Thorfinn emulates both Thors and Askeladd I think!
That snippet "Carve that encounter into me" at the end is how this season starts, and it starts with Gardar.
I had to go back to be sure because I really thought I had seen that before and it was at the beginning of everything.
The message this arc was trying to pass to us didn't make sense at the start, but at the ending the message became that obvious to anybody who followed along this wonderful story (and animation + art direction + soundtrack).
Masterpiece.
Thank you Mappa and Makoto Yukimura
I THOUGHT I recognised it! I honestly think I might do a rewatch soon with fresh eyes and all that I know now!
It's better that way, these 2 are most certainly best watched back to back
Canute is happy and hopes that humanity will see Thorfin again and says: "So even in this Viking world, was it possible to produce such a man?"
I feel like you misunderstand Canute quite a bit. He is honestly really going much against his own character knowing that the naivete of his previous incarnation of himself was not working. He became someone that was willing to defy his own being in order to make the paradise that he wants. It was the way he deemed that was required. He didn't see it that way at all. Thorfinn becomes a pacifist that even Canute could not become. He sees a new future in Thorfinn, one that he could have never imagined. But he also understands the world of man that he lives in and that power is going to be required in the part of the world they are in. Canute is just trying to find peace even if he wills it. If he ultimately could attain such a peace without power, he would, but he can't. Canute is just trying his best and as dark as it maybe, his way in the world he lives is required even if it goes entirely against his actual character.
Thorfinn takes a hundred punches as the saying goes it doesn’t matter how hard you can hit it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward thorfinn IS THAT GUY!!!
Thorfinn = True Warrior
Vinland Saga = True Masterpiece
You know, its funny but I also remember during season 1 Canute also was able to talk his away out of trouble. He was able to convince Thorkell at the time. Thorkell also threatened to punch him in his face and now this time Thorfinn had to endure 100 punches. Thorfinn and Canute sorta did take after each other in some resects.
Best anime this year so far IMO
Im gonna miss vinland saga so much
Same, it's gonna be a long time before I get over this. We still have Pluto anime upcoming, seinen fans eating good this year
