Throfinn spent 4 years on the farm, in those 4 years he suffered, he regretted his actions, he learned to be a farmer, he learned to be humble, and he learned to use the 1st method. After 4 years he has lost a friend, but also found a brother, he has inspired many people and mostly importantly he has found a purpose.
He is a real man and he is going back HOME.😭😭 BEAUTIFUL
i love that by being a farmer thorfinn learnt how to give life, while before he only knew how to take lifes
And canute only needed a talk.
@@zeroblank9067 and he was so lucky to have that , not many ppl have such chances in their life that completely changes their life for the better.
@@zeroblank9067also that was thorfinns objective settling everything with a simple but serious talk .
It really shows how good this show is when you guys shed tears for a moment that is not 'sad' but more...'Beautiful'
What are you on abt? This is extremely sad. It's abt all the people that have died and that couldn't experience the good world that they want to make. It's abt all the people they have lost and how they're gonna tell them about it, but it is also very beautiful.
Idk if you guys noticed, but this is the first time Thorfinn woke up without being tormented by his past! He chose the “first path” and actively atoning for his past sins gave him a good nights rest. Was so happy when I saw him wake up not screaming
Edit: also yes there’s more Vinland Saga, and I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say the best is yet to come. Even better character writing if you can believe it.
I noticed that too and was so proud of how far he’s come. I’m most likely gonna start the manga after this season ends too 🔥
Thank you so much, i didn't even notice that.
OMG THE DETAILS!! thank you idk how I never noticed this
@@christopherross8976 definitely recommend it. I read the manga about halfway through the current season but it’s still been a joy to watch. Knowing what happens doesn’t spoil a shred of the impact the moments have. At least it hasn’t for me.
@@SwiddyDiddyThe anime directors really know how to adapt the intent of the manga for each episode.
All i can say after S2 is "i want to be like Thorfinn"
Literally everyone tho
"Strong and kind. A real man."
Vinland Saga is peak fiction
Not fiction since it's real
Not for a child mind
This show is a drawn out snooze fest. "Oh they are playing emotional music, I guess i should be emotional." Plebs..
@@CynicalSubjectevery emotional show is going to have some type of emotional music…. Name an emotional show that doesn’t have emotional music lmao.
@SwordEGG it's fiction. The characterizations are fictional, they're just based on real people.
It's historical fiction - fiction with a basis in reality, but it's still not "non-fiction"
Man, Vinland is just on a whole other level it genuinely moves me like no other anime has, its given me so much wisdom lol.
10/10 for both seasons!!!
9/10* for both
Vinland si good, but for a series to be a 10/10 it has to have everything. The main thing about anime aside writing is directing/animation/cinematography. Vinland doesn't stand out in terms of those things.
Main flaws:
1st season had a lot of shounen anime tropes where characters perform super human feats, thors knocking out 30 soldiers with fists, throwing a grown man 20 feet in air, thorffin killing multiple grown soldiers in combat at 6 years old, viking carrying a whole ship on their shoulders running down the mountain. Plus the CGI was very bad at times.
2nd season even tho much better written had pacing issues and episodes where very little of impact happens to the point where it was meh, not exactly boring.
@@OneWithinnrlly dude
@@thekidd7795 bro nitpickin to find a reason not to give it a 10/10
@@OneWithinn is this satire or are you fr?
@@OneWithinn I can even nitpick berserk. The pacing was absolutely beautiful.
Bro did the reverse Eren
Vinland Saga is AOT good ending
Simply the greatest written season in anime history. It dosen't get better than this. How is it even possible that each episode is better than the last? Them being able to top the "I have no enemies" scene is just incredible
Definitely not over; more greatness to come! There's easily enough for another 24 episode season three and the manga is still ongoing so eventually season four should happen, assuming the series stays as successful as it's been.
The manga is ongoing? I thought It finished a couple of years ago. Dammit I can't even remember where I left off lol.
@@gunz350 bro can you tell me am not a manga continue reader but i want to know does Thorfin and snake and thorgill meet again ?
@@Mihawk-Hawk-eye spoiler
They will never meet again
@avinashavi4742 at least not yet...
@@gunz3502 years ago the author announced the final arc, its in that arc now and he stated multiple times its ending soon
Vinland Saga is not just entertainment, it's meaningful art
"You're a beautiful man " = that part really got me 😭
The moment when Canute tells Thorfinn “who did you take after”was referring to Askeladd,since they both knew him Canute probably didn’t hear much of thors.
Thorfinn just became what his father and Askladd failed to be and wanted him to become. They must be so proud of him up there. And also big up to Canute. He never wanted violence but the responsibilities kept him caving in. This whole season is a masterpiece.
The feels I got from this episode were just amazing. Seeing just how much of a positive impact Thorfinn made on everyone he met on the farm from Olmar, Snake, Old Master, Pater and even on Canute, it's no wonder they all think of him as a one of a kind incredible man. The scene of Thorfinn and Einar by Arnheid's grave is one of the best scenes I've ever witnessed in any show given the deep context behind it. Also that special poem at the end of the episode was just beautiful. Perfect way to wrap up the farmland arc for every single character we saw in S2. Also this JUST the beginning ot Thorfinn's journey to establish a nation in Vinland. He still got more conflicts to overcome before finally atoning for all his sins by making a peaceful nation in Vinland.
Hild my favourite character 😭
For those who are interested in reading along with the manga, this episode basically adapted all of chapters 98 and 99.
Additionally this episode also adapted the promise Einar and Thorfinn made at Arnheid’s grave to build a land of peace in Vinland, which was originally depicted in chapter 93 (i.e. around the equivalent of the end of episode 20 of this season).
Besides the standard shortening of dialogue, there weren’t any other major differences between this episode and the manga. Though in the manga Thorfinn’s face during his goodbye to Snake, Pater, Olmar, and old master Sverkel was depicted as far more puffy and swollen (adding a tone of levity that I am guessing the studio felt would be more jarring/clashing in the medium of anime). There was also some additional narration specifying what happened to Ketil’s farm. Basically Ketil retired from being head of the farm having “lost his bountiful appetite for work” (i.e. he became sad and depressed), and the manga makes it more clear he became blinded in his right eye due to the wound he suffered. Olmar stepped up to permanently become head of the farm, and paid sizable reparation to the families of every man who was wounded or killed in the battle. Said payments cost Ketil’s farm half of its land and wealth. There was also an additional joke of Sverkel telling Snake he had to learn to use a hoe before he could use the plow.
Yes, the story continues after next episode. Remember, season one was the prologue for the story. 😉
when thorfin called einar brother i got CHILLS.... and that haiku at the end really got me crying mannn omg beautiful episode 😭😭
Carve it.
Carve it into your flesh.
Carve it into the land.
Carve it into the sea.
Carve it into your spoils.
Carve it into your enemies.
Carve it.
Carve it.
Carve what you feel into me.
Carve that encounter into me.
im very glad they included the brother translation. This speech in the Manga is the moment Einar an Thorrfin start referring to each other as brother going forward. Im glad they did it cause its more than a one time thing they say to each other its the start of a truly deeper bond between them
I was literally Steph in that scene by Arnheids grave when Thorfinn declares his dream with his brother Einar I cried reading it in the manga re-reading again recently because the anime got me hooked on it again and then balling my eyes out when they finally afapted it so beautifully with the orchestral OST the heartfelt voice acting amd stunning visuals!! Thank you MAPPA‼️ ❤️
I feel you Bellz, that scene between Thorfinn and Einar was the most beautiful scene I've ever seen in anime, the level of build up and depth that went into it is crazy. I also cried when I read it in the manga. I also got the same feeling of wanting to be like Thorfinn.
And I have to say it, Vinland Saga changed my whole perception about fiction, it was the first time a realized fiction can actually teach you something, it can teach you a way of life. Since then, I've been searching more stories that has this kind of effect.
I'm glad you guys loved this season, it was really amazing, there's one more episode and there are definitely more material for at least two more seasons. If season one was the prologue, then this season was the introduction to the Vinland Saga story, it's a story about building that place that can be more appealing than death, the author is serious about that and he works throughout every arc teaching us how to build it, it's his life mission. There are many more beautiful scenes to come, I hope you guys stay here to watch them in the future.
Thank you for the content, I love what you do.
Vinland saga deserves so much respect. As an adult this has been one of my favorite shows.
This is not the end. The manga is still ongoing. There's 2 more completed arcs after the slave arc. Yukimura is currently writing & releasing chapters for the 5th story arc. Mappa did a tremendous job. 🙌🏽
I CANNOT say enough…. VINLAND IS PEAKLAND. This is one of the rare jewels in anime that has the ability to make many cry JUST from dialogue through many episodes. Thorfinn is doing it!!! From him saying, “what is it that I want to do?” TO “I know what I need to do.” 😩 I’m so freaking proud of our man Thorfinn. Arnheid’s character was VITAL in this season. So for people saying she was too focused on… sit down. She is (in some ways unfortunately) the CATALYST to what Thorfinn & Einar are about to do. Canute doing what he did gave me MAD respect for that man. So freaking good. Masterpiece. Next episode, Home, is about to be emotional… 🥹 That callback to the beginning of this season… “carve it”. Surpreme storytelling.
The best anime I've ever seen this year. This episode made me cryyy i love thorfinn so much 😭😭♥️
Context from the manga:
Canute was finally recognized as a legitimate sovereign and a king
Ketil lost all of his motivation to work and resigned himself to retirement
Olmar took Ketil's place as the head of the farm and compensated to those who were injured by selling half of Ketil's farm
Thorgil wandered of alone and nobody seen or heard of him again
Thorfinn, Leif and Einar is on their way back to iceland (Episode 24)
The character development for Thorfinn reminds me of Zuko from last air bender and his redemption arc, especially some of the lessons he learns from uncle iroh
yeah the same tier of peak
@@safeman779 Zukos arc is great but is no where near as good as thorfinns
@@pvrify there pretty similar if you think about it
Both had traumatic events at a young age that would go on to define them and cause them to be obsessed with a goal. They were both blinded by that obsession to the pain they caused in the world, and eventually had a reckoning with that pain and guilt and learn to accept the lessons of their pacifist fathers iroh and thors.
Vinland is a show for adults so the themes and characters are more in depth but all the same stuff Is there in ATLA just toned down for kids
@@pvrify nah, Zuko is the flagship of Redemption arcs, I'm sorry. Thorfinn, goes from killing people, to depression, to realization, to pacifist. It's a complete upward climb for him.
While Zukos is more like a line graph. Getting slowly higher but making the same mistakes, going up and down yet progressing slowly. You see glimpses of what he COULD be like, and those glimpses are more common as time goes on. It becomes so cathartic when he finally stops making those mistakes, and joins the crew.
Basically what I'm saying is, Zukos is better because he was a Villain. Thorfinn, even with all the people he killed, wasn't. So a redemption arc fits better for a character who is framed that way, rather than one who only kinda is.
It's crazy that Snake who fought him understood what kind of hardship Thorfinn has been through so in a sense he knows also how much Thorfinn has grown. That's why he respected enough to tell him his real name.
The scene between olmar and throfinn was incredible. Remember when they first met. Olmar thought he needed to kill to be a man and throfinn didn’t care about life or death . Now they both cherish life, and the people around them. I’ve never had an anime affect me on this level where I take away a piece of wisdom from each episode.
Greatest of all time. Zenith of the medium. Hallmark of media. Gold standard of storytelling. Apogee of creativity. Vertex of invention. Crest of ingenuity. Acme of imagination. Pinnacle of innovation. Epic of epics. Legend among legends. PEAK FICTION.
Truthfully this is when Vinland Saga actually begins, not when it ends. This is when the title actually becomes relevant to the plot.
so canute laughing wasnt to make fun of thorfin or out of shock. he was laughing because of the relief he felt. he had to keep his guard up for so long. he had to scheme these past 4 years and eventually got paranoid (no thanks to sweyn, we even see his paranoia in this ep) he felt his pressure as king wash away and he was so glad to have a genuine conversation with someone who was his friend and it made him more reasonable
First and this was such a good episode man, that scene when Thorfinn and einar shook hands 🤯. Next episode back to Iceland going to be a perfect finale
Yeah can't wait to see what wit and Mappa do for the finale. The finale of season 1 was beautifully directed so hopefully the finale of season 2 gets the same treatment
The story starts from here ❤and it's going to be epic
If im not mistaken, we are currently only half way through the manga. So yes theres probably gonna be at least 2 more seasons
The outcome was less about Thorfinn convincing Canute, but more about inspiring Canute. Canute felt like his back was against the wall mentally, and since he really only trust one single person, he thought tightening control was the only means to maintain leadership.
Thorfinn gave him an excuse as an out he himself was looking for besides just being corrupted from the mental images of his father. Someone to trust as an ally, not fight against as an enemy.
Thorfinn found a lot of brothers. It wasn't just Einar, but also Canute, Olmar, and Roald. Just pure trust and respect. *Beautiful chads of anime.*
cant wait for you guys to react to the next arc in vinland saga , things get really interesting ,
This is definitely not the end of Vinland Saga. Soooooo much more epic story telling next season.
I think as a man, Thorfinn's resolve and dreams especially in this episode touches a very deep part of a man's heart, the desire to provide, protect, create, the brotherly love and generosity, the willingness to forgive. Everything about this show has been incredible but this episode and this music had me weeping, what a beautiful story.
the aftermath of Canute's decision makes me want to revisit episode 5 or 6 (i can't remember) but if I remember correctly, the whole reason for requisition of the lands was because of the finances were too heavy to maintain the army and Canute thought he had his back against the wall and wanted to hold on to that power but he eventually found a different way. I wonder if King Sweyn would still be on his sub-conscious, I can only hope he is free from that
We still have one more episode to wrap up the last couple of loose ends for the season, but I love how the climax to the primary conflict in this episode is the perfect mirror to the climax of season 1. Askeladd had to launch a violent and desperate coup against a king to save Wales, and only barely pulled it off at the cost of his own life. Thorfinn managed to save numerous farms, and both he and the king lived to see another day. In a roundabout way, Thorfinn finally managed to beat Askeladd.
There are 2 more arcs after this. The manga is in the final arc right now. So we got at least 2 more seasons coming. Also, the panel showing Thorgil walking away had a text bubble that said "Thorgil left, never to be seen again." I'm not sure why the anime removed it, its possible Yukimura might be planning to bring him back or maybe they removed it to make the scene flow better.
The Changes, All the Tough 10 years Paid Off, He's a Grown Man now, a True Warrior, Going to Vinland and Start a New Life 👏👏👏🥺
And yes there is still few arcs to come after, Vinland Saga is about to begin. Enough for 2 more seasons I believe.
this anime is MASTERPIECE and full life of lessons
What a beautiful season and series
Very well animated according to the Manga and I thank all the Mappa staff for keeping it real. This season is a masterpiece and next week we see our boy reunion with his mother and sister after years
There's still one episode left in season 2 and we're about halfway through the story of the manga. The author is currently finishing the fourth and last arc of the story. So there's still a lot of ideas to explore, a lot of characters to meet and a lot of adventures to experience.
At this point Vinland is the anime of the year for me. Once bleach and Attack on Titan come back it might change but it still holds its own, insane char development and very emotional, one of the best OSTs i've seen in a show in a long time that are easily top level like AOT.
I am gonna ensure you AOT isn't gonna beat it ... The last episode / arc will be the lowest point of the series
@@krishpache7271Are you sure with everything being elevated in anime since part 2 ??
Also bleach definitely shouldn't be in the conversation since jjk, oshi no ko, mushoku tensei, vinland and AoT are on the way. Its literally most basic shounen lmao.
@@jakeoriental8847if you havent read the manga you will see but unfortunately aot had one of the worst endings ive ever seen with no stakes no resolution of the main conflicts and retcons
@@liamhewton6989 I have read the manga.
Even tho I had my problems with ending, it is no where near worst one. Pacing and rushing was the main issue. Readers were crammed with new found informations which some of them are unnecessary.
I disagree with the argument of no resolution to main conflict in ending. Because titans powers always was the main conflicts and what started the entire history of bloodshed in the first place. Humans were just slave to power. Eldians, Marley and the world are no different. The moment they got power in hand, they begin to seek destruction and greed. Circle of violence starts there.
You can't solve that by destroying the planet and everyone on it. Thats not how wars works.
Eren never was supposed to win, sins of the past is resolved with alliance becoming new tyber family, the authority they can use to negociate peace. The rest is in the hands of new generations to come. Ending was very fitting concept of the narrative of AOT being grey in morality.
Anime can easily stretch these parts as they have been doing. I'm sure anime will elevate source material.
@@jakeoriental8847 issue is the extra pages implies titans aren't gone since there is a new tree. Erens plan also fails because paradise gets destroyed by the outside world
It's far from over. Plenty of new developments and dope moments in the future.
But if this is the last season of VS that we get, then it's definitely a beautiful note to end it on
If they keep this pacing, VS will have a total of 4 seasons, with each season adapting a "part" or chapter of the story: season 1 was the prologue, season 2 was the Slave arc, season 3 will adapt the next part (already completed in the manga), and season 4 will adapt the 4th and final part of the story (currently ongoing)
Anyway, this episode and season is a 10/10 for sure. So much love and care put into this adaptation 😭😭
We had the same feeling bro. The episode just moves you that it brings you to tears.
These last two seasons have been some of the best anime I’ve watched. But having been caught up with the manga. If they animate this series up to even at least 175 chapters. You two in specific might call this your favorite piece of media ever.
This farm arc is the through line of thorfinns own redemption but he has still yet to found a nation of peace without enemies or find the redemption of those he has already hurt
Snake revealing his name was the utmost respect one could give
The story still continues after this season as there are still great story arcs to come.
There's a LOT more after this season don't worry guys :)
As the name of the show suggest, it's Vinland Saga and they're not even in Vinland yet soooo yeah it's not the end yet
Powerful episode
There is still much more of Vinland that we'll be grateful to watch.
its crazy how thorfinn is actually a real person to me
He was a real person, this story is very similar to his real life.
There's one more episode left. Trust me, you're gonna love this one. 😄👌
Vinland Saga is a masterpiece! Thank you to the author, Makoto Yukimura and to Studio MAPPA for this incredible adaptation of his manga.
This is just the beginning of Thorfinn´s journey!
Incredible episode the ending with the music was so hype. Work of art.
"This is the end of the Vinland Saga?"
Dude, the next episode is pretty much the new first episode, it's the beginning of the all journey 🤩🙏
The manga is currently on chapter 202 and man, i cant wait for the upcoming seasons to come, yall have no idea whats coming next, from hype, sadness, happiness to incredible moments. Vinland saga is just peak.
This is probably the only tale that shows you Struggle is also a beautiful thing.
I'm happy you guys are watching this as seasoned anime watchers most people are so used to shonen tropes to the point where they can't appreciate something as deep and real as vinland saga. I always find it funny to watch reactors watch this anime becuase it shows their morality and how they view things when they react to certain parts of this show
This was a beautiful episode felt like the ending of vinland!! But we not done yet Thorfinn saying he would run looks so cool and that ''carve it''!! Anime of the year!!
it was a fun (mostly emotional) ride with this second season. loved your reactions guys
Anime of the year for me and Thorfinn best anime character this year. Like literally his character development is unreal
facts its stll by far the anime of the year
They don't tell you this in the anime, but Olmar sold nearly half the farm to pay reparations to the families of all the people injured or killed in the battle against Canute's forces. Also thorgil left the farm and was never heard from again. Probably became a warrior for hire like snake was
Great reaction as usual guys, Vinland saga is definitely peak anime
This episode will haunt me for the rest of my life, every last second of it.
This was not the end; this episode merely marked the end of the farm arc. We will still have much more development in the story and characters.
Vinland Saga definetely has more to come. Overall it's not even close to finishing and even the manga is making me teary eyed so if the anime continues like it has, this is gonna become peak storytelling.
This is canonically like chapter 90 out of 180, so we got a lot more to go, and they already confirmed season 3
Man this episode had me in tears of happiness, our boi Thorfinn as changed 😢
I was crying too. You’re not alone 😂
Epic and beautiful episode and reaction from y'all, The peak is non stop, hope we get a tease or something next ep, Baltic Sea War is pure smoke
Vinland Saga will have 4 major arcs and the Farmland arc was the 2nd. So we’re hopefully getting another 2-3 Seasons if it is fully animated. Just peak 🔥after farmland saga while reading the next 2 arcs i cried 3 times bc its just so peak
"Carve it into your flesh
Let your pain and suffering leave a mark on you, learn from it, live by it.
"Carve it into the land"
Don't stop being better person on your own, spread it, make an impact on people around you.
"Carve it into the sea"
Explore vast distances, discover and learn new things.
"Carve it into your spoils, carve it into your enemies" Make sure people who are against you get that impact as well. Make sure your voice is heard and that they remember it.
"Carve what you feel into me"
For those who root for you, make sure they understand your passion, your desire to be a good person"
"Carve that encounter into me"
Never lose hope, always know that there is a bright side to everything. Always know there is good in people.
This line was the intro for the first episode. After experiencing all of these trials and tribulations, it all makes sense now.
Vinland sega has the best written character I’ve have ever seen the growth this man has after what he has been thru damm 😢
Thorfinn what a guy
Leif really bringing back our thorfinn to his home❤
Been waiting for this vid since I finished the ep last night!
Yoo I can not wait till you two see Season 3. IMO it’ll blend the action of S1 & the continued evolution of Thorfinn from S2, plus a few new dope characters, especially ones that want to make Thorfinn answer personally for things he did in the past *or* turn him back into who he used to be.
Plus Floki’s bum ass is still out there despite putting the hit out on Thors in the first place.
Roald/Snake is a G btw, really wanna see his backstory some day.
I wonder if the author wants to keep Snake's backstory for a spin-off, it sure seems really interesting.
This episode was so beautiful, I love Vinland Saga 💙
There's more vinland to come, manga is still on!
9:00 There is one certain song that plays as Thorfin says goodbye to Sverkel and Co. before stepping on the boat, it sounds very “holy“ (like … something played in a church) and blew me away!
I would love to know how this one is called
There is still even much more content and "sagas" to see in this anime, hope they launch a 3rd season soon
Vinland saga it’s simply beautiful.
Talk no jutsu make a comeback after a while.
Thorfinn literally showed another path to Canute.
Canute was hating what he was doing but felt that there were no other options (the whole seeing his father head saying how much he is horrible and blah blah. Symbolize his fathers teaching about ruling). Thorfinn gave Canute a new (harder) path but also a HOPE that was not there before. In fact he doesnt see anymore is fathers head talking shit to him while leaving. I find it beautiful
this was a beutifull episode man cant wait for season 3 the journey begins
Yes. The story will continue. And an amazing one at that
There’s alot more to vinland in the manga, like 3 other seasons, and it only gets better and better !! i really hope they animate it
Thorfinn be like,
"Just because you dont have the same opinion with me, you be my enemy, no we are better than that"
i can't take this beating every week, how can 1 anime make me so emotional
ive never seen belz cry before
If anyone has ever thought committing suicide yourself that because you thought you don't have a place to live in this world,
Then Thorfin's dream will strike threw your heart like a rifle bullet.
Because, his dream must also your dream that you've been longing for as well.
Snake reminds me of the movie ''the 13th warrior'' where an exiled Arab ambassador ( Antonio Banderas) joined a band of Viking warriors.
