Fun fact: "karlsefni" loosely translates to "ideal man"
So all the vikings heard stories of Thorfinn and basically named him Gigachad
Thorfinn Gigachaddsson
😂😂
Yes, the original thorfinn karlsefni was probably named that for his feats. Because historiand recognize that karlsefni is a namesake, just like ashenladd (covered in ashes)
@@superplaylists1616 askaladd is actually a fable. It's like cenderella for boys. Ash ladd - cinder ella (Ella means girl) words are fun
@@blakec8549 youre right, thats so cool
The last part of episode 22 that King Canute try to stop the sea wave is based on a historic story "King Canute and the tide."
Gonna like and comment on this one so the boys get to check the reference 🙋🏻♂️
Wow thanks for sharing this piece on info!
Thats so cool
yep, but the conclusion is very different lol
I would like ur comment but the likes are at 420
Shoutout my man Leif. He spent 16 years endlessly searching for Thorfinn until he fulfilled his promise to Thors and Helga and brought him home. That’s a precious friend whom you know will never betray your trust. He is a True Warrior in his own right.
Leif true MVP.
I couldn't agree more what a legend🙏❤️
People gotta realize the reason Canute said “No” to seeing Thorfinn initially is the same reason he eventually said “Yes” to his proposal. The last memory he had of him was an angry feral teen who was hellbent on revenge for most of his life and even managed to slash his face. He knows Thorfinn is a dangerous person and could just be waiting for his opportunity to strike at the him again. It makes sense to avoid him. At the same time, seeing how much Thorfinn had changed; quite literally to an unrecognizable point both physically and mentally, Canute couldn’t help but laugh hysterically and be in awe, and have faith in his newfound determination.
While I dont disagree with you I believe that it's rather because Canute hates a part of himself and the actions he has to take as a king, so he is afraid to confront his past and the way he was back then. He was afraid of asking himself "is this really what I wanted?".
Then after their talk canute was more of his former self, as thorfinn showed him how violence is not necessary or even bad for both of their goals - a land of peace for those who suffer.
part of it as well was he had never been approached like this before
so he has to be on guard especially with how Thorfin was, like he said people try to kill him, bribe him, trick him but never speak to him in an honest no strings attached way
he just had delusions of his Dad telling him to kill him ..he's dangerous
Thorfin just asked him to leave, no ok I'll go then
@@gokamekeck4999I think its actually both, his father's ghost is basically his guilt of realising that the his father's ways weren't wrong and the curse of the crown is real and it says to him that Thorfinn would lead the sheep to their death basically meaning kill him or he'll start a civil war but when he says he'll run away Canute gets surprised cuz this isn't the man he knew and the ghost also disappears + after hearing Thorfinn's thoughts on all the stuff he realises that they both are fighting the same fight and Thorfinn is his ally
How I saw it is, Canute hated the man he was become, so Thorfinn being the reminder of his past just stirred him up. It wasnt because Canute was afraid Thorfinn was gonna hurt him, he was afraid of Thorfinn seeing what he has become. Imo that was also a reason why he so quickly tried to explain his ideals to Thorfinn.
Thorfinn has finally reached his answer. It has been a long long wait.
"I have no enemies."
Thorfinn’s character development is straight up godly. It’s some of the best I’ve seen. Up there with Zuko’s character development. Makoto Yukimura is an absolute genius. 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Watch Planetes too, it's also by Makoto Yukimura. It's also amazing
@@hei7846 Hmm can’t believe I’ve never heard of it but I’ll watch any by Yukimura so I’m adding it to my list rn. Thank you for the recommendation! 🙏🏼
Top 3 GREATEST PROTAGONIST IN ANIME HISTORY 🗣
Man now i wanna rewatch Avatar 😂. Zuko by far had the best character arc in that series. His fight with Azula is still one of the greatest ever animated.
Many toxic anime just hate Avatar. Good to see, you are recognising both Avatar and Vinland, instead of just saying that Avatar is mid and big diff Vinland. On the same page with you bro.
Watching Vinland Saga is not only watching fiction but learning about life.
Seinen mangas are always special.....we can compare it to our real life
its more than an Anime, its an experience
It’s actually very accurate… historically 🤩
Everything from ep 1 all the way to ep 48 connects. That's some top tier writing
Carter being drawn to tears at "I have no enemies". Bro, I feel you man. This is one of those moments in a man's life that makes you witness greatness and aspire to greatness yourself.
Don't worry, Season 3 is already confirmed.
It hasn’t been officially confirmed but the staff kind of hinted that the story will continue
Not officially but the series director did hint that Thorfinn's journey will continue. Personally can't wait for the Eastern Expedition Arc, it's my personal favourite.
the animator guys accidentally said theres season 3 at an event lol
Can’t wait for best girl Hild
@@SN-nh4ge bro, are you saying this shit can get even better?
“I have no enemies” might be one of the most iconic speeches in animanga history. Thorfinn‘s character development is absolutely unreal.
Can’t wait for season 3, this anime is a journey
True
Will season 3 come?
manga is still ongoing, there's a ton of stuff past season 2@@Tomarr369
@@Tomarr369I don't see why not, they did show his next arc's character design at the end.
@@Tomarr369 they basically made a statement when they showed characters we still haven't seen in the ending of season 1 😉
5:52 by this point it's been like 30 years since Thors left the jomsvikings. It's been 16 years from the time he left to the time he died, and then a further 14-15 years. Anyone who knew him back then is either dead or retired. The exceptions are floki and thorkell (although thorkell technically left the jomsvikings). So all these warriors were either teenagers or weren't even born yet when Thors left
I think those are King's Guards, not Jomsvikings. From what we know of Jomsvikings, it's safe to assume they stationed away from King's Guards to maintain discipline.
Olmar's character development here is so important... especially when you remember back to episode 7 of this season, when Ketil got peer pressured into beating that kid who stole from him. that episode keeps coming up in so many important ways, but it's especially important here, because Olmar does what Ketil couldn't.
Ketil didn't want to beat that kid. they told their story, and Ketil felt for them... he literally cried. but he had eyes on him. Ketil had his wife, Pater, Snake, Olmar, Thorgil, and Arnheid present, and of those people, not one of them really had the power to make Ketil use his authority any different. but Ketil knew what they expected of him. and he wasn't strong enough to subvert their expectations. not even for the sake of doing something that he wanted.
but the fact that Olmar can make his own decision here, is proof that Ketil could've done that too, the whole time. you can tell Thorgil no. Olmar tells Thorgil no, and because everyone else is bound to listen to Olmar, Thorgil can't do anything unless he does it alone. this was always an option... you just have to have a backbone, and make a decision.
and honestly, it's Ketil's fault that both of his sons ended up this way in the first place. if Ketil hadn't lied about being Iron Fist Ketil, then Thorgil wouldn't have considered that to be a legacy he has to live up to. Thorgil may have become violent somehow anyway, but it did not help that he believed his father was a war legend. and all his life, Olmar has been surrounded by the wealth and clout that his father built, and overshadowed by stories of Thorgil's conquests, and he thinks that Ketil made a name for himself in the same violent way. he doesn't know that there is another method for men to distinguish themselves, so he keeps trying to do something unpleasant, and that he's really bad at, and he keeps hitting the same wall.
Thorgil finds violence easy, and Ketil has always known that he was lying to everyone, and they both just left Olmar to flounder around, not knowing what he was doing wrong. it's amazing that Olmar was able to come to this conclusion anyway, considering the guys who have been his examples.
W comment
@@hhcdfhngdzjjbf579 thank you!
this is so well put
@@apppletreee thank you ^_^
Agreed, but the beauty of Vinland saga s2 is you can't really blame all to anyone for what happened. Ketil had his fault for sure, but he is also driven by his past, how he must gave up his lover to another more powerful man because he was helpless and had no power to resist that man.
That's why when he got the title by mistake, he cling on to it, it made people respect him and think twice to mess with his belongings. Of course not all went well.
Ketil had his ups and downs and what he did something terrible to Arnheid, but despite that he was a good rich man by that world standard IMO...
He is (in Einard eyes) the case in where all his good deeds were forgotten because he made one big mistakes...
its been real boys. to my disappointment I cant find a SINGLE other react channel as enjoyable as yours. having all 5 of you to look to for different reactions and perspectives, as well as you all being one of the BOYS, make it do be hitting diff frfr. I recommend you guys consider watching Golden Kamuy. its very plot driven and action packed with great characters and some comedy sprinkled in.
Best comment ever. Thank you so much!!
oh my god thank you for recommending Golden Kamuy. I'm seconding that.
check out g.o.t games, his reactions are pretty good
FUN FACT: IRL history, King Canute did in fact try to stop the wave just as shown in this episode. The purpose was to show that no matter how much authority and power one man can have, he cannot challenge the authority of the heaven. The purpose was to show humility and restraint.
FOUR EPISODES IN A ROW?!! thank you guys 🙏🏽
also, in that last episode... when Thors gave his life, he also saved Ylva's future husband. in the third episode of the first season, when Ari asked Thors to tell him a story about his time in the Jomsviking, Thors told Ari about how, when Ylva was born, that's when he started to fear the battlefield. because he didn't want to invite violence upon his family, or leave them all alone if he didn't come back one day. he was already planning to send Ari back home to the village at that point, even if Ari didn't know it. that was the last thing Thors was able to do for his daughter.
looking back at these episodes... I think one of my favorite lines from Thorfinn is when Wulf asks him why he never fought back, and he starts doing his speech. and one of the things he says is "we just met today" and elaborates about how they have no reason to feel animosity toward one another. as individuals, they don't even know each other. Ketil and Canute are the only two people who actually have a disagreement with each other. they could settle it with a children's game. and that, right there, is very Thors like.
Thors didn't kill a single one of Askeladd's men. they just met that day. he doesn't have a grudge against any of them. the disagreement is between him, and Askeladd. they can settle this with a duel. or, under better circumstances, even just a conversation. and besides... of the men in Askeladd's crew, Thors can't tell if any of them might have an epiphany like he did someday. one of them might come to realize the flaw in violence someday... Thors doesn't know who that might be.
when Einar was angry with the retainers after they destroyed his and Thorfinn's wheat, Thorfinn asks Einar if he plans to kill them. Thorfinn has done so much worse to so many more people... so he points out that if Einar wants to kill the retainers, he'd have to kill Thorfinn a hundred times over. Thorfinn was a monster, and then he improved. extending that chance to another person is something that you're bound to do, if you want to believe in your own ability to improve.
this is a type of love that goes beyond the ability to personally know someone. you don't have to know them. the fact that you don't know them means that you can't tell what you're destroying, if that's what you decide to do. they just met that day... there's no way they could possibly hate each other so irreparably already.
39:31 I love when Thorfinn is telling everyone his story all of you guys ended up in the same pose like you're as engrossed in it as his family 😂
also, the part where Thorfinn says he's thankful to have ended up on the farm, and asks Einar if he'd be okay with not repaying that kindness... that part gets me every time, because Einar taught him how to say thank you. the first time Thorfinn said it was after that scene where Einar nearly chokes him. but instead of going through with it, he yells at Thorfinn, telling him that there is still something to live for. and that they're alive in the first place because someone kept them alive. and it almost sounds like Einar's talking to himself a bit there too. his mother and sister helped him live, for as much time as they had, and now he has to keep going, so as not to waste it. even now, Einar can keep being the person that Arnheid was thankful to have known. and that makes this the most compelling argument for why Thorfinn wants to give back. he met Einar on this farm. how could he not be thankful to have been here?
Makoto Yukimura, the author of this magnificent manga, is in Prince Edward Island (Canada) right now. You can check his tweet😆
It was said to be one of the islands where real life Leif/norsemen were set foot. Sources also said this is the place they called Vinland (in the manga) & Thorfinn’s goal in the future.
I really respect and adore Yukimura sensei for all his efforts to create this masterpiece. As an author/artist he really dived deep into the history of Vikings and did a great research for the materials.
"It took me fifteen years to do that", when referring to Olmar surrendering and ending the fight.
What an amazing line, one of my favorites.
You know a character's development is really good when you didn't notice the exact moment of when they started to change. Like it just flows.
I have waited 4 months just to see all of you react to this scene (14:05).
GOATED REACTION!
41:49 The last scene with Leif, Thors and Askeladd just shows how rich our dude really is, having three fathers.
The reason Thorfinn has the last name Karlsefni is because he defeated Thorkell the tall. Karlsefni is a title given to norse people who achieved impressive feats.
it roughly means "a real man"
but wasn’t Karlsefni also just Thors’ surname?
@@ilsrzz135 no. Thors' last name was snorensson or something like that
@@harveybaldry1969 oh dang i never knew
@@ilsrzz135
the real Thorfinn Karlsefni Thórdarson
His father was Thord Horsehead (Þórðr hesthöfði Snorrason),[6][21] and his mother was named Thorunn (Þórunn).[21] Thord Horsehead was son of Snorri, son of Thord of Hofdi
Thorfinn was given the nickname Karlsefni
different translations but basically real man / man of steal..
we don't know why he was given this name
in the anime they imply he was given it when he was with Askladd so maybe because he was resilient, strong fighter ..honour..duels..
but now it can be used in a very different way
I love it
For me Vinland and AOT are Masterpiece's
進撃の巨人の作者は、デビュー前からヴィンランド・サガのファンです。

@@inigosusaetaherrera4230 Watch Monster, one the best animes of the history
So glad you guys decided to give this masterpiece a chance. It’s been a great journey and I can’t wait for season 3
I am a bit late, but have you guys noticed how Thorfinn and Eren went complete opposite routes, I had the fortune of watching both series for the first time in a relative close timespace of each other and noticed their complete opposite philosophy. Attack on Titan shows the real worlds opinion on violence, Vinland saga tries to show how it should be.
I love that connection you made
Attack on Titan is a shounen series while Vinland Saga is a seinen series. Does this imply that AoT's philosophy is for immature kids while Vinland's philosophy is for true adults?
Don't get me wrong. They are both deep and nuanced, but it takes a lot of strength and will to adapt the "I have no enemies" philosophy. Eren's conclusion to kill his enemies is valid, but that thinking is immature and dangerous.
@@jankyyard5610AOT is not really shounen, AOT and vinland have two completely different stories and the meanings are not the same. The fact that you compare Eren's actions by placing him in the context of Vinland Saga is a mistake.
@@jankyyard5610 while I do agree that Vinland Saga's story is more applicable for your real life while Attack on Titan's feels like "just a cool story", I have to comment that Eren's deranged ideology doesn't have anything to do with it being "immature". To witness all of history at once, all the war and pain, it'll fuck anyone up.
Vinland Saga is my favorite series because it truly pushed me to use the power of talking, and I've managed to confront people with more power than me and help others because of it. But I find it unnecessary to push down Attack on Titan just because of that.
Thorfinn convincing Canute to stop and leave the farm was so unexpected! Awesome that you guys uploaded the last four episodes of season two together 👍😁
last four episodes
I also really need to say... there's just so much going on in the talk with Canute, it's insane how everything in this season pays off in that one conversation. we've seen everything, from the way Thorfinn and Einar have suffered at the bottom of the hierarchy, vs. the way the retainers took out their frustrations at being stuck as lower class, vs. the way the guests are kept by Ketil because he's the only one that will pay people with pasts like theirs, vs. the way Ketil has hoarded resources and become anxious over whoever might covet them, vs. the way Canute has had to do things he never wanted or intended to do, in order to maintain his power. it all links up.
like... Canute's original goal was to create a Utopia, yeah? but I love Einar in this conversation, because he's basically here to ask, "Utopia for who?" Einar comes at this from the perspective of a normal citizen... the exact kind of person who gets trampled underfoot every time a king starts a war. Ethelred ruled when Einar's father died in battle, and Harald ruled when his mother and sister died in the raid on their village... the ideology of the king didn't matter to them. even now, Canute sides with the vikings, trying to reform them, because it's convenient to him. their lives matter to him, because he needs their strength to protect himself and his interests.
but it's the same problem that Ketil had with his farm all over again, isn't it? the man at the top accumulates wealth and power, the people below him have reason to covet his wealth and resent his power over them, and the insecurity of the man at the top causes him to seek protections. yet these protectors and enforcers cost money... the expansion of the ruler's wealth and power feels necessary in order to pay them, but that also gives the guy at the top more to maintain. and there's this cycle of conquest and resentment that brews beneath the surface... the men on Ketil's farm all saw him as the guy at the top, and Canute has been accumulating more sins than he's been accomplishing goals.
power requires maintenance, and the chores are often unpleasant. requisitioning a farm isn't a very Utopian thing to do, but you have to pay the army that enforces your authority... right? you can tell yourself that you know better... that you know best. power in your hands will be spent well, you think. a good man would be able to do good things with power, wouldn't he? but people don't just give up control. if you want to control a population, you have to wrench it away from each of the individuals who live beneath you. that's what authority really is. and that's why Sweyn constantly emphasizes that the crown has a mind of it's own. Canute is so caught up in maintaining his position above all others, and walling himself off from all the normal people that have been hurt because of him, that he's failing to create the Utopia he wanted. Utopia for who?
and not only that, but in the first season, Canute draws a pretty distinct comparison between God in heaven, and his father in Gainsborough. a distant powerful figure, who is unconcerned for the condition of his creation. Canute now sits where his father once did, distant, and unconcerned for the fate of all the smaller lives that will line the path to paradise. when Canute tries to stop the waves, they crash down anyway. there are some things he simply can't control, and it is frustrating to him. but things are turning out this way, because he's only doing what every other king has done before. grabbing power via violence, treating citizens like pawns, sowing the resentment that he'll need an army to keep at bay, and convincing himself that someone at the top of society could never be understood by someone at the bottom.
but at the bottom of society is where change begins. Thorfinn is talking about changing the culture of the people. all this time, Canute has been trying to order vikings not to pillage, while using them as a tool for conquest. it's hypocritical... they have no reason to listen to him. Thorfinn has been changing people's minds by speaking to them about his ideas. and he got these ideas from others who came before him. Thors. Leif. Einar's mother. that generation passed something on to Einar, and Thorfinn... something Arnheid was thankful for. with enough effort, they can carry that into the future. it will be as hard as it sounds, but this is a goal that is really worth the effort. for everything Canute has done, what does he have to show for it? is he any closer to Utopia? the results of Thorfinn's efforts are standing here. this is how he's won.
Canute’s speech abt controlling the waves may have seemed bizarre here, but there is actually a fable about King Canute where he tried to control the tide to not touch his feet, but failed to do so. There’s not much about it from me looking through the internet but there are some records.
The point real life Canute was making about the waves is definitely different from this fictional Canute because this Canute is trying to stop the waves in order to rebel against God's logic in order to build his own paradise seperate from God's due to humanity committing a sin long time ago and thus being unable to enter God's paradise anymore.
Oh ya fs, but still cool they took some things from history and put it here to portray the story in this way
Episode 45-48: of appreciating I have no enemies.
Speaking of the butterfly effect, putting the Askeladd scene at the end was such a smart move. Him visiting the grave of his mother is literally the reason why Season 2 even happened, without it Askeladd for sure wouldn’t have sacrificed himself
Thank you for finishing it up with 4 episodes ❤
This was fun rewatching it with you all. Cant wait for future series!!!
Canute probably didn’t want to meet Thorfinn because the last time Canute saw Thorfinn, he was a bloodthirsty killing machine who only wanted revenge, he didn’t the development bro had on the farm.
This is what actual PEAK look's like.. The character development of Thorfinn from wanting revenge to having “No Enemies" is the best character development in the whole of anime..💯✨
Vinland Saga == the literal name of the historical reference this show is based on. The Vinland Sagas are a collection of books written by Leif (the real explorer) who talks about Thorfinn Karlsefni, the real life person, and their expedition to the East Coast of Canada. Wife and I are going to be driving out east to L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada to pay homage to our boy
For the historical background on this one: King Cnut (Canute in the anime) is regarded as one of the greatest kings of his era due to his method of ruling. What these episodes kinda portray is how Cnut came to be regarded as such a great leader. His poisoning of his family is still written in history, and his conniving tactics are also part of that legacy, but his statues and legacy still inspire people today due to the way he managed his subjects. Interesting story to look into.
Man, y’all’s conversations can really add so much sometimes. Y’all had me see this in ways I hadn’t thought before. Y’all do reaction videos justice. The editing is perfect, the story is always perfectly followable, and y’all’s comments are always so well thought. Y’all deserve all y’all’s success.
Wow man this is one of the best comments we’ve ever read. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment this!!
@@StudioGek I really had never thought about the thorfinn/Canute parallel, and how at the exact time Canute stepped forward to be a violent king, thorfinn fell down and began his path to pacifism. And even though a decent chunk of the show is edited out or you can’t see anything but the subtitles, y’all do it in such a way that doesn’t detract from the show, and the thoughtful commentary and debate between y’all is what reaction videos should be all about. You guys are an example to the YT community. Sorry to jerk y’all off a bit more, but y’all really deserve the praise and success. I watched most of y’all’s series, like the HxH, AoT, and watching y’all grow has been just an awesome experience. I’m sure others feel the same way. Keep up the great work guys!! Aight, really felt like I said my piece this time 👍
I’m so amazed you guys managed to match the reference of The King who treated his slaves kindly, ends up realizing his slaves saved his farm. Just wiping the little tear drop in my eye😢.
3 months left for 2023 and Vinland Saga is still the Anime of the Year. No anime has topped the impact it made.
Thank you guys for watching one of if not my favorite story. Glad you enjoyed. I can't wait for season 3. The current manga arc is starting to get very heavy again as well. Can't wait to see how this all wraps up.
god, this is why I've been re-consuming this show via reactions since this season finished coming out. now that this has concluded, I just want to go back to episode one and pick it apart for all the little details. I miss Thorfinn and Einar, I need more of them now.
Comparing Eren from AoT and Thorfin from Vinland Saga is very curious.
The One who picked to fight against the entire world in order to save his people.
And the other one who picked not to fight but just leave to save his people.
Having same goal, Yet their approaching method is absolutely opposite.
It's just insane how the author of Vinland Saga managed to convey the message of "Anti-violence" in one of mankind's most violent cultures and time periods. Truly this some incredible writing for a piece of media I've ever seen. Just this simple line ''I do that have any enemies'' has such a complex meaning behind it. EP 22 for this show is one of th best episodes for an anime I've ever seen.
no words for Vinland Saga, the story is so well constructed, and you see that the author who writes the story certainly knows both sides very well, heaven and hell, he describes both incredibly well, and we see that Thorfinn , is the character, The guy, The man, The best character in countless stories. This anime is a lesson for my life, NO kidding, it helped me in moments of understanding why humans suffer, I understand today why, I hope you guys understand my shipmates, we have no enemies. Nobody has. Thanks for the reaction G.O.A.T.s, you guys are a 10!
The amount of discussion you can have regarding the philosophies being portrayed, all of which can be justified, and the clashing between them just makes this anime incredible.
Anime has that beautiful quality of symbolism through visuals, something live action could never, which is why I appreciate it so much, the potential for storytelling through art is limitless
41:33 i love this scene only becuase even in season 1 u can never see what thors was seeing. You only seen him walking in that direction which thorfnn cant see. Now this is the first time thorfnn is seeing what thors see. I Always get goosebumps no matter how many times i see this part
“It’s like doing drugs to not do drugs” not quite. Canute is taking all the sins upon himself so no one else will have to when he’s done. It’d be like preventing addiction by just doing/buying all the drugs on the planet yourself. Like yeah it works it’s just a hell of a way to go about it
The god said he saves only good men and women at the end of the world.
But Canute asked, "So won't you save the men and women who were abandoned by you? Then who will save them instead?" And he came up for saving the miserable savages and war mongrels who were abandoned by the god.
Yet, as Einar said, "Then who will save the men and women who were abandoned by you, Canute?"
This is where Thorfin comes up to.
A most challenging thing that yet never solved even in this modern age.
Thorfinn’s journey hits even harder for audience members that experience the effects of ptsd and depression. Pretty inspiring and kinda healing imho.
lol the body language at 39:10
All the boys were feeling the exact same way
One punch from Ylva was more efficient than 100 from the other guy 😂 Thorfinn would have never seen Canute with her 😂
Thanks for the 4 episodes in a row🤩🤩🤩 next arc is my favorite, can’t wait to see it animated and to see your reaction to it 😁 hope it would be soon 😅
Hi it’s now 2:00pm in my country and i am in class but it was nice to see the notification 😂✨
Sad Fact: Recently, someone vandalized the statue of Thorfinn in Philadelphia.
But yes, there is an IRL statue of the IRL Thorfinn.
Holy shit we're eating good
Being on this Vinland journey with you guys has been amazing. Excited for you guys to see where the rest of the story goes. See you again whenever Season 3 comes out
4 Episodes LETS GOO
4 episodes together is epiccc
S2 is so good. I don't think I have ever been more proud of a character than I was of Thorfinn by the end of S2. His character development is just spectacular. Such a beautifully written show. Everything is just so profound and meaningful and will leave a lasting impact on you.
And I feel you Carter, when Thorfinn said "I don't have any enemies" finally realising what his dad meant all along, I too teared up. Such an epic moment 🤧
Nooo, please don't end Vinland 😭
I'm gonna miss it so much 💔
Thank you for reacting to one of my favorites!!
i expected some tears lol you gotta let it flow hahahah
its hard to get vulnerable if the dude next to you says ive got chills. kinda pulls you out of the moment.
@@aSSGoblin1488 lol yeah ive already seen this and im currently watching again with my girlfriend, and its harder to let it rain hahaha.
There might have been tears if it wasn't for the awful Ylva moments.
Ylva is Thors' first born and also inherited his strength for sure X) She's very much the perfect blend of her parents.
I feel like the scene with Thors on the hilltop with Thorfinn was a moment where I got to witness 5 young boys become men. The look on all your faces was just...idk man. I felt it in my core, in my soul. Thanks for letting us be on this journey with you guys.
Vinland Saga S2 just won IGN's *Best Anime Series of 2023.* 🎉
Askelad killed both Thorsfinns dad and Canutes dad and became their new father figure. They’re brothers in that way. I see the story as Askelads ideals being lived out but Thorfinn this season chose what Thors chose for him.
With your example about Canute fighting to stop fighting being like eating junk food is slightly far off. He's essentially trying to eat all the junk food so nobody would eat junk food anymore.
Jack talking about "Arrows are his families weakness" 😂😂😂 that's cold blooded
I can't wait to come back to your channel for season 3!
I really liked Carter’s breakdown of how Canute and Thorfinn are trying to put an end to all the fighting but in different ways. Even tying it back to Canute’s awakening when he ended that fight with Bjorn by giving them nothing to fight over.
That really is what it is, because ultimately Canute and Thorfinn have the same honest goal, so Canute recognizes Thorfinn as his ally/partner and doesn’t want to make extra work for him.
何度見ても美しすぎて泣けるの草
One of the most beautiful episode of all time
Yeah man, no more frikin vinland. I don't know what else to do until season 3
This is amazing, I love it when you guys talk about the show and think about the messages. I absolutely loved your conversation, and I wonder how many other people were touched by the messages of this show. That were influenced to think about these things in new ways. Its incredible how totally this piece of art can touch everyone.
This Vinland journey was just as incredible as your AOT's reactions! How come it is already over ? A masterpiece of a story, indeed - one of those that shape hearts and souls anew. Can you imagine how good it'd be as a book series ? With a good supervision, the depth of the story and the characters would be amplified and the words would be so impactful. And I think the same about AOT, I am like desperately waiting for this miracle to happen !
Now I wonder what the next emotional journey will be...
Not me dreading the moment you might upload reactions of shows I don't watch 🥲
They did it boisss!! They finally did it 🤧
1 hour video?? is this my birthday?
😂😂😂
Anime of the year
I HAVE NO ENEMIES 🗿🤌
Funny, they felt more satisfied after the second to last episode, but when the last episode ended, they just wanted more. XD It feels like there's still such a long journey ahead, and I can't wait to experience it! I'm glad you guys ended up enjoying this season as well. :D
I'm not manga reader but I was certain that Canute was a sweetheart so I was not tripping in the confrontation scene at all. Realistically in the warring era I would choose Canute for my king/leader over Thorfinn. I think Thorfinn is kinda dreamer not fit as a king/leader because it is impossible to build any nation without fighting some people who don't agree with him. I love Thorfinn but the leader has to sacrifice some to save more. Would you guys choose Thorfinn over Canute for a king? Anyway I'm looking forward to see if my perspectives prove wrong or right. In my opinion, Canute is in-between of Eren and Thorfinn.
Oh, try "Devilman Crybaby" please. It is for seinen and very dark. I bet you would love it.
Yes, Canute also tried his best not to shed more blood as a king, that's why those 2 "Canute and thorfinn" are not competing but filling the gap the one couldn't cover, they are comrade.
@@yudhapermana6831 Yes, Canute and Thorfinn want the same thing a peaceful nation the paradise. It's just the process that may be different. Canute uses might but Thorfinn depends on the consciences of other people. Canute decreasing the danish military in England was him trusting the consciences of the English people.
This has changed my view on life in the best way possible i had so many tears in the last few episoded because i was so proud to see Thorfinn his growth and all the characters in it had so much impact this is in my top 2 anime of all time this was phenomenal i hope s3 will come because it deserves it so much what a experience!😢❤
I hope you guys will get to experience another King in anime. Ei Sei from Kingdom. His perspective on stopping war is also quite interesting.
If your curious, Kingdom is an all-timer. It's up there as one of the best war anime. Once you get through the animation of the first season and a half, you'll be treated with some of the best battles you'll ever see.
My man Thorfinn gained the ultimate respect of all these Vikings by getting his ass absolutely beat. Now THAT’s badass.
Just a bunch of dudes learning to be better. God damn we love to see it
Episodes 22, 23, and 24 of season 2 made this my favorite anime of time.
This story has been building towards season 2, I think people don't realize that a lot of the "random sporadic battles in season 1 are because Askellad's crew is a *mercenary crew* so they have no real ties to a majority of the battles. You definitely couldn't have season 2 without 1. It's basically just the payoff of the entire first season.
crazy how strong thors genes are
his sister knocked our boy with one punch and she built like a unit, imagine if thorfin was fed well and taken care of bro would be a beast
Season 3 Thorfinn about to ascend to GOAThood trust me guys
I have read the manga and it gets even better
Its been an journey watching this masterpiece with you guys again. Carter literally expressed all of my feelings back in the day when i was watching and it was extremely enjoyable. This is such a great channel man, much love from Turkey
I started watching your videos because of AoT reaction, subscribed your channel beause you’re reacting to my fav anime of 2023 so far, Vinland Saga. I wish you success my G’s
Best reactors around. So glad you guys got to enjoy the show. Now here's to season 3!! 🌊
I love it when thorfinn said I have no enemy and started thorfinning
Even before starting this video, I hoped that you guys were using the drinking horns. As promised, you delivered! Respect
fantastic reaction! glad ya'll enjoyed the show! i hope you all will continue to watch some more though provoking shows.
also ylva inherited thor's strength for sure ahaha
She's like a female Thorkell. Which makes sense since she is related to both Thors and Thorkell.
the real Thorfinn Karlsefni Thórdarson
His father was Thord Horsehead (Þórðr hesthöfði Snorrason),[6][21] and his mother was named Thorunn (Þórunn).[21] Thord Horsehead was son of Snorri, son of Thord of Hofdi
Thorfinn was given the nickname Karlsefni
different translations but basically real man / man of steal..
we don't know why he was given this name
in the anime they imply he was given it when he was with Askladd
but now it can be used in a very different way
yes they had heard of him!
remember when Leif found him in the end of season 2 he was referred to as Thorfinn Karlsefni and leif asks is he Thorfinn son of Thor
Vinland Saga is such a masterpiece
Thorfinn's character development is amazing
So many people were upset the first few episodes of season 2 when Thorfinn had changed. Now everyone understands the importance of those changes.
Pls watch Dororo !! It's so underrated
