Saw an interesting comment about askeladds character. He went from waiting for artorius, to searching for him and at the end he became the hero artorius himself and saved Wales. "lets mourn him for just 2 sec" abi is a savage lmao
Isnt that wrong? He figured as a kid that there is no hero he needs to wait, and prepared to take matters in his own hands (killing his father). There is no development in Askeladd's character, there's just fleshing of it in these 24 episodes
@@kronikevaporation6007 he didn’t figure that out as kid though, he truly believed the stories of artorius as he said previously and didn’t think of “making” a new one until he found Canute.
Right, but he had been searching for “artorius” aka a savior before he met canute. This is why he asked thors to lead him in episode 4. He was being dead serious but played it off when he realized nobody was going for that idea. He saw qualities of “artorius” in thors. He saw the same in canute
His new found passion of killing fathers kindled the flame. Started off with his own dad. And then he got to kill a king. The sky was the limit for him.
Thorfinn's screams of despair at the end were saying: "I've paid my dues, I've sold my soul, so tell me what is left for me, when I've given up everything"
how tf is that a spoiler... The "Now the real story begins" thing? Did you read the title of the episode? "The end of the prologue", isn't that obvious? like wtf...
Because you fuckers have read the manga, stop telling us what's coming up next, even if it is just hints... Come on man we are all vinland saga fans don't ruin it for us
Someone commented on another reaction video regarding the finale of this anime. "Not many people realized that Askelad has been a father figure to thorfinn for longer than Thors was. And the anger he shown on the last scene, is not only because he failed to get his revenge, but he get to see his father dies once again."
He didn’t see Askeladd as a father in that scene. He felt he had lost his reason for living, it’s only once he goes to the farm that he feels Askeladd was a father to him
Askladd's story has ended. Thorfinn's story has just begun. Also, if you are looking for something new to watch on the channel, I would recommend Trigun (1998). It's really a masterpiece but criminally under the radar.
What a fun ride this has been. I was surprised at how much you two ladies ended up enjoying this series all the way through. Where season 1 is widely regarded as Askeladds Saga, season 2 (and onward) can essentially be characterized as Thorfinn's growth. In due time you both will see him as "Zaddy" lmao. SN: You can tell Abby was exhausted during this discussion just checking her body language, and the fact that she didn't say too much haha. You ladies record these pretty late. Even with everything else going on in your lives outside of youtube during the day, i thank you (and your team) for all the hard work you put into creating this content for us.
for those who maybe didn't get it : Lucius Artorius Castus is a descendant of the legendary King Arthur (the actual Hero supposed to come and conquer the world accordig to Askeladd's mother) which makes Askeladd the true King of England (or Britannia as he called it in earlier episodes)
Thorfinn is the one and only protagonist of Vinland Saga. There's 4 total planned parts for Vinland Saga's story. The first season is a prologue (Part 1) to show how Thorfinn's early childhood in Iceland & his time with Askeladd's crew will affect his life as an adult in the next 3 parts of the story. Vinland Saga was always planned to be a coming-of-age, adventure drama. Part 1 of the story led many people to believe that this will be a battle anime, so that's why you see some people saying stuff like "season 2 is gonna suck lul". Don't listen to them. Those are just the kind of people who only like stuff like Naruto, DBZ, etc. Season 2 will be amazing just like the first season.
@@Feisty123 Ok yeah saying "one and only" wasn't exactly what I intended. Thorfinn is the primary protagonist of Vinland Saga. In the prologue, Askeladd is the protagonist and Thorfinn is a main character. But _after_ the prologue Thorfinn is the "one and only" protagonist.
One of the best finales I've personally seen in an anime. Can't say I felt bad for Askellad cuz he wasn't a good dude by any stretch but I gained alot of respect for him for going so hard for Canute.
Ig you weren't paying attention to Askeladd at all 😅 he actually was a good person, he just in terrible positions. Yes he's done great evil, but he's also done great good. He's that neutral between an Anti Villain and Anti Hero
@@g_swazy he's not though. He just did bad things. You're like the rest and only thinking narrow minded. Before he killed Thors he asked him to become their leader and actually meant it, but needed to keep his men's loyalty, so he performed an evil action. He could've murdered Thorfinn at n e time. He could've done a lot more than he did, but he only did what was necessary for the mission. Look at someone like Deadpool or Punisher that do the same thing! Are they considered evil?
@@foresightmystery9845 I mean yeah he isn't an evil person, but when you're a viking in that setting its hard to be a morally good person. For what he was, he was a good person and a great character, but objectively he was a bad person. It's hard to explain though because I understand what you are saying
I think you might have been confused, when Askeladd says Brittannia he doesn't mean England but Wales, we already learned that Brittannia was the old name the Romans had given to what is now Wales
Loved your reaction to this episode was waiting on it. If you guys have roofer another show please watch Banana Fish I am 100% certain both of you will love it!
finally, I’m gonna watch ur reactions to Vinland saga 😹❤️ I’m from the group of people who wait untell u finish the hole series, bc I know that it’s hard to wait every week, I have tried with HxH and it was really hard 😹🔥
I know you've been done with the show for a while, but to prevent spoilers for future seasons I suggest avoiding reading up on actual history around this time. Many characters are based of historical figures with canon lives that can heavily spoil the direction the show goes. Love your reactions 💗!
An that is the end of the Prologue. Crazy right? I would suggest reading the manga but we might get a second season so you might want to avoid the manga to avoid season 2 spoilers but man is it a good manga. Askeladd is easily the star of season 1. I'd even go so far as to say he is easily one of the more complex and well written characters in all media (anime, manga, books ect). I know you both are busy but you should rewatch the series on your own and see what you think of various scenes now knowing the full story behind these characters. Specific scenes now with full context REALLY carry more weight behind them. its also CRAZY seeing how much character glow each person goes thru. Look at Canute when we first met him vs the end of the show.
I think people misinterpret thorfinn reaction, askuladd was not like a father to him, he was mad because he wasted his life tryna kill him, and he did not get to. Thorfinn did not give a fuck about askuladd
I'll leave a super duper spoiler down below, watch it by ur own fault (Told ya) The characters in the ending are Thorfinn's ¿Friends? And the black haired women is the actual Thorfinn's Wife
Thors reaised a kid that wouldn't stab a person while sleeping, you can clearly know by the dreams of Thorfinn in some caps that thors always spend time with him, taught him a lot of lessons, gave him love (that's why he was so attached to his father) and played with him (we see in a dream Thors use to carry him on shoulders), he was probably an amazing father

hahahahahaha Nice one

This comment 😂
Sweyn: "Wales or Canute?"
Askeladd: "Time to pull a pro gamer move"
360 IQ plays.
Askeladd: "Yes"
Then you do that in a game and the character is 'protected' (looking at you Bethesda)
Thorfinn's screams of despair at the end were saying: "I've paid my dues, I've sold my soul, so tell me what is left for me, when I've given up everything"
I love it when openings foreshadow scenes
If that ost played omg that would of been some fucking heat 🔥 I wished that ost would of started play in that moment
All the op and endings of Vindland Saga fit so fucking well, the ending in this episode too, it pretty much explains everything with a song
NEE KOKKASUKANDAYOOOOO
The ending is essentially fan service for manga readers lol
Pretty much.
I strongly suspected that! It's an intriguing ending even for everyone else too! What a good show.
@Pluralizes Everythings fuck off
what tf, this comment says it was made 2 months ago, this vid like 2 weeks old.
@AYMB that makes so much sense.
The dropping of the dagger at the end is symbolizing Thorfinns end to fighting/revenge. Thus, the end of the prologue. Now the real story begins.
Great meaning but stop spoiling stuff for us non manga readers

I think we can all agree that this is our 2019 anime of the year
oh easily. For a first season its my favorite with Beastars being second. For a continuation of a season AOT S3 P2 was amazing.
Rinne - i totally agree but beastars is my third and I’ll give the second spot to dorehedero
Yep, followed by TPN and Beastars.
Sequels go to AoT and Mob
2019 - Vinland or Mob
2020 - Dorohedoro (even without seeing the the fall season)
@@Amerit9 Dorohedoro came out this year tho

But no they say thorfinn just mad. That it.
Smh
He didn’t see Askeladd as a father in that scene. He felt he had lost his reason for living, it’s only once he goes to the farm that he feels Askeladd was a father to him
Askeladd was the best character in this show, i swear my eyes were tearing for him.
You can tell Imon felll absolutely in love with this show
My favorite part of this was how the episode was named "End of the prologue"
Berserk had that too lol
The studio just named it following the chapter 54 in the manga with the same title "End of the Prologue"
Askladd's story has ended. Thorfinn's story has just begun.
Also, if you are looking for something new to watch on the channel, I would recommend Trigun (1998). It's really a masterpiece but criminally under the radar.

Rip Lucius Artorius Castus
The end of a prologue to a masterpiece
Farmland next, hopefully WIT announces S2 soon. Askechadd will be missed.
for those who maybe didn't get it : Lucius Artorius Castus is a descendant of the legendary King Arthur (the actual Hero supposed to come and conquer the world accordig to Askeladd's mother) which makes Askeladd the true King of England (or Britannia as he called it in earlier episodes)
My Girl Imon Finishing the series off by thirsting over Askeladd
Can you blame her? Lol
Thank you for the triple drop. I am so glad you enjoyed the show so much, it truly is one of the best stories of 2019.
After episode 14 I thought I would never cry for askeladd or bjorn 😢😢
vinland saga is something else S tier anime for sure
*Daddy's slayer 3: the last slay*
Gotta feel bad for Imon, i mean, all of her husbands keep getting killed
Askeladd: I'm gonna do what's called a pre-game move.
It's a testament to the writing of this story that anyone felt bad for Askeladd when he died.
Can say the same about Björn.
@@Ander01SE pretty much all the character writing is great.

Vinland was the best of 2019,but demon slayer stans are not ready for that conversation
Just give the demon slayer fans some time to watch their second anime and they'll finally realize the truth
honestly i love demon slayer but ngl vinland saga was best of 2019
OMG YES FINALLY !! i've litteraly been waiting for this since you sstarted reacting to this anime !
Beautiful series. I wish next season will come in ASAP
Biggest symbolism for me is when he went from holding his dagger to reaching out wanting to save him.
swyen : wales or canute ?
askeladd : yes
End of the Prologue
askellad is such a great character tho...born as a slave and died as a true warrior , a king...
Askeladd and Isabella
Two of the best villains of the modern gen
Yes
And farmland saga begins.
YAY! You guys made it!
I can't wait for the next season.
Such an amazing show. Great reactions as usual :) Cheers
I feel touched by you, I realy did. I'm from México and i'm so so deep touched
Askeladd aka Father Slayer. Rest in peace daddy ❤️❤️
The REAL journey begins..... next season
Everytime I watch this episode I cry
Triple uploads? Yoohoo!!
Is there gonna be a poll for the next anime? If not, I would recommend Violet Evergreen as it is relatively short and also very good.
yes !
a. mlg cuz we don't want to suffer alone
Well then you love sadness
Nice recommendation, I'd rather Steins;gate or Code Geass tho
We all came to see this moment
Respect for not crying when Askeladd died
Season two is coming out next year, can't wait
oh my godyou uploaded em all you are the best
Askelad and Katakuri carried 2019 on their backs! Best characters IMO
Ah yes, the finale. It's been quite the journey.
Those at the end were teases of the main characters of season 2
