Arthur was in fact two and from the House of Bran - Andrigathius, the Nephew or son of Magnus Maximus (Macsen Wledig, the father of the Welsh nation) who had Camelot, Modern day Colchester in what would become England and his direct descendant, Arthwys Ap Meurig who had The round Table at Caerleon, in the Welsh Kingdom of Gwent (Morgannwg). The true royal British lineage of these people ended with Owain Glyndwr in 1415ad. Modern English (Not British) royalty is Germanic and Greek. Edit - Magnus Maximus was the legit Emperor of Rome as he was the eldest son of Constantine the Great from his first wife, Magnus was British (Welsh) on his Mothers side. So another words - the show is somewhat accurate in terms of creating a character based on the real lineage. The one area where it isn't accurate is how wealthy Wales was. It s was extremely wealthy up until the English striped it of resources to fund their empire.
Half of the episode was titled "The Hero Returns" in the manga chapter. Askeladd may not be as perfect as Artorious, but he himself paved the way for two certain people who will pursue that path of order and peace. His death will forever impact the story from here on.
Askeladd man 👏 He could have told thorfinn the man who is responsible for his father being killed is in this very room (Floki) knowing he could go berserk and killed him for sure at any cost, but he instead set him free from the path of revenge. When it came down to it though it was never said both of them respected one another and you can tell Thors was the one other viking Askeladd respected aside from Bjorn, that's why he never forgot him and kept his son along. Side note: Also he was actually hoping in the beginning if maybe Thors could lead hos group and they will definitely follow him. But end up hesitating and eventually met Canute. Anyways, he hated himself more than anyone knew so he never hd a kid, Thorfinn is the closest thing he could get as a son. He taught him how to survive in this hellish world we lived in.
This comment started great and by the side note completely lost me. I genuinely don't understand a single sentence after the side note, maybe it's just me.
@@thekidd7 my bad poor wording. I meant to say if you remember before the Thors death scene. Askeladd ask if Thors could be their leader. After askelad saw what kind of Warrior Thors is, he wants to follow him. 2nd paragraph. He hated himself more than anyone, that's why he never had kids ( so there won't be a 2nd him, or someone he will raised knowing he can't do any shit or don't know if he can raise the child well) But he did managed to raised Thorfinn (the closest he could get to a son).
I never cry but bjorn and askellad allways get me. This show is the best anime ive watched, cant wait for season 2 ive been waithing since season one finished.
Season 1 is more Askeladd's journey and Thorfinn's "negative" character arc and now he's at the complete rock bottom. The main character not necessarily being the focus of the first season is such a refreshing decision, especially when the other characters are so interesting. The animation director and character designer teased on twitter something along the lines of "There is another work I need to do, my most important work, I plow the fields again today" so season 2 is most likely in the works. Farmland is one of my all time favorite arcs in any manga and where Thorfinn really takes the center stage, I can't wait to see how WIT handles it.
I think this show was made to react to. Whether your apprehensive about watching or love it straight away, the payoff in seeing your reactions is really satisfying. Props to the patreon for voting 👍
This is one of the best prologues ever! Slave arc is a masterpiece! If only Vagabond has an anime adaptation with this kind of quality. Berserk, VS, Vagabond and Kingdom are the four horsemen of Seinen, 90s berserk is a masterpiece, VS too! The OST, voice acting and animation was phenomenal, Kingdom on the other hand is a masterpiece too! But the animation... not so much but if you get used to the animation, you'll see how much of a masterpiece it is!
You have to remember that Thors too was a Viking with a high kill count of townspeople forced in wars. Askeladd isn't that disgusting of a person when you consider the era
He's easier to accept when you find out where he came from and the fact that he's as disgusted with himself. He became what he hated, but still somehow he manages to still live seeking his purpose. He's a fascinating character.
Welcome to the S2 waiting room :") I've read a bit ahead in the Manga 2 yrs ago but I forgot most of it (which is a good thing so S2 can feel fresh) but all I do remember is that alot of amazing characters are coming up! The ones who were teased at the end of the episode basically
Did you realise the vast majority of Askeladds Story is based on real people and events. The one thing they do get incorrect though is Wales being poor. Wales has, until recently been rich in Gold, Slate, Coal and other resources. The founding father of Wales if anyone is interested is seen to be Magnus Maximus (Macsen Wledig) in 383ad, the eldest son of Constantine the Great, The man who made Rome Christian. Magnus' mother was Welsh, who came from the House of Bran in Morgannwg. Hence why the Roman style outfits in the show. The National Welsh flag to this day features a dragon in recognition of two events, the defeat of the 9th legion by the Silures and the Marriage of Caratacus' daughter to a Roman General who started links between Rome and Wales for centuries and the foundation of Cardiff, Wales' capital city as a sign of peace between Rome And the Britons of Wales.
I was exactly like you guys after I watched the last episode. I felt so many emotions that my brain could not process..stunned, amazed, awed by how brilliant the story was delivered. Definitely a masterpiece!
I Could be wrong but the director did tease season 2 i think last year. The big news might be a studio change since the director of Vinland saga was hired by Mappa.
Gosh. This show is ❤️. I know it's not right to compare but this was the best anime of 2019. Kimetsu No Yaiba doesn't even come close to it. That last Askelad scene is perfection.
Damn. I think this was the first time that I've seen Cash react this way and moostache speechless. Good reaction. I may go over to Patreon once One Piece gets to my favorite Arc to see if I get the same reaction once you guys get close to it.
Truly incredible how well done the writting for this manga was. And the anime made it 10 times more vibrant with the beautiful music and animation 😭 this was the perfect last episode I cried tears and was left with mixed feelings Urgh
Excellent ending, especially the last character they present was well done (In the manga it is like this: When the prologue ends, then it starts in the small boat with that character)
IMO third big arc is the best. Slight spoilers Farmland was good, better than the first arc I guess, but pretty boring at the beginning. Now Vinland is somewhat in stagnation and I hope current arc will pick up, cause they skipped the thing I was looking forward to. And the journey now is full of convenient events.
@@War_Maker war was a peak for main protagonist development, while half of the farmland arc was just farming. And this arc is just angry kid all over the place.
@@rekashum7293 yeah, I am worried, but also excited and expect a battle to breakout. I was kind of disappointed with the time skip and characters returning just to be there, but now it's starting to get interesting again.
A character as well written as Askeladd comes around once in awhile in anime it's such a treat his character is so goated 🐐😤 9:45 basically the same scene in episode 4 with thorfinn and Thors 😢
Askeladd carry the show. Imo this 1st season was boring and slow. After Thors went out everything felt like a drag. Askeladd made this season worth watching. I’m a non manga reader so hopefully upcoming seasons are good.
Amazing show!!! Season 2 plz 🙏🏼
There could be a season 2 announcement soon hopefully we hear something about it🤞
Wait for a year

it just got confirmed
S2 LESSSS GOOOOOOOO
He died for his Home (Wales)
He died for his Mom (The Insult)
He died for his Leader (Canute)
He died for Thorfinn (Realization)
I mean for Thorfinn to move forward and focus on his true journey.
I see this comment all the time. Aint complaining tho cuz it's facts
@@lotsoflaughs13ify saw this before on yaboyroshi and dapperdarius. Just remember it, something along these lines if i remember
@@jbsuselessopinion843 it deserves to be in every last ep reaction video if u ask me 😂

He didn't have sons. But in a way, Canute and Thorfinn were his.
Askeladd is Thorffin's second father without him knowing it himself
I mean, in the manga it's shown that he kinda realize it now
@@wiwider1233 that scene made me emotional with how far thorfinn’s come
He killed four fathers, five if you count him letting himself die.
@@thebajanking8890 Actually five if you include himself and Ragnar. He just killed those boy's fathers and father figures and took their roles XD
@@angelicambyence Lool you're right, dad slayer Askeladd
Askeladd man 👏

The conclusion of pain and greatness of this season.
Man lived up to the name "Artorious" for sure. The hero that saved his land from savages
"Someone has to do it, not a hero, not a god, just SOMEONE."
何も言わず画面を凝視するみなさんの様子からどれほど強く心を動かされているかが伝わりました。私も原作の漫画を読んだ時は言葉を失いました。幸村誠さんの素晴らしい作品を世界中の皆さんが楽しんでくださっていることが本当に嬉しいです。

this was all just the prologue, the story has just begun. cant wait for the next season. Thank u for the reactions
I like moostache's shirt, fit for the episode
askeladd is easily one of the best characters ever
This finale gave me chills. Such an amazing story and I can’t wait to see more! Patiently waiting for season 2 😭
This anime was done so well. The amount of attention the story, music, voice, dialogs and atmosphere makes one have is incredible
I heard that Vinland Saga will announce something big next month on July 26/27. MANIFESTING S2 🕯🧎♂️🧎♂️
Oh shit I hope that's true. Next season is gonna be goddamn incredible.
Has to be right 😓
SEASON 2 PV/TRAILER/ANNOUNCEMENT?
LETS GOOO
Where did you hear that from? I hope finally a second season bc i really want farmland arc to be animated
@@saxenart just look it up the mangaka announced it alongside colored panels let’s pray it’s s2

This series is great
If season 2 comes
The character development is insane further ahead
Askladd my all time fav, he's a complicated character, ur disgusted about him and then next scene he's likeable

if you think this arc sad the next one breaks your heart.
12:58 : 13:12 When you try to process the masterpiece you just saw
And that was the prologue to this amazing story 😁
I was exactly like you guys after I watched the last episode. I felt so many emotions that my brain could not process..stunned, amazed, awed by how brilliant the story was delivered. Definitely a masterpiece!
Vinland Saga will have an important announcement on July 26.
Hope it's season 2 announcement.
we can only hope 😭
I hope too but it could be 50/50
i really hope its the season 2 announcement 😩
I Could be wrong but the director did tease season 2 i think last year. The big news might be a studio change since the director of Vinland saga was hired by Mappa.
Maybe or what everyone is waiting for...
Chibi spinoff of Vinland Saga!!!

RIP to the savior of wales Lucius Artorius Castus
not me crying with this again💀💀
What a way to make me cry, this anime hits my heart in the finale 🥺
This episode always hits me in the feels and season 2 could be announced soon actually who knows
Season 2 was announced just a couple hours ago!
Thus Ends Part 1...and still waiting for Part 2!
I can't wait to see all that tree cutting action in season 2
Now the wait for a potential season 2 which is just as great if not better
easily a top tier show
Excellent ending, especially the last character they present was well done (In the manga it is like this: When the prologue ends, then it starts in the small boat with that character)
Yeah I read along the manga season 2 going be crazy
This is really a prologue because what is coming is really far better than what we have witnessed
Askeladd we knew ye well and even though he was hired to kill Thors by Floki he was like a 2nd father figure to Thorfinn near the end.
Next Arc is the best arc "farmland". it's even better than season 1.
IMO third big arc is the best.
Slight spoilers
Farmland was good, better than the first arc I guess, but pretty boring at the beginning.
Now Vinland is somewhat in stagnation and I hope current arc will pick up, cause they skipped the thing I was looking forward to. And the journey now is full of convenient events.
@@dadandadandan nah war of the baltic aint better than prologue or slave arc.
@@War_Maker war was a peak for main protagonist development, while half of the farmland arc was just farming. And this arc is just angry kid all over the place.
@@dadandadandan Dude there's alot of death flags in vinland rn especially the latest chapter where they thorfinn said they'd become friends.
@@rekashum7293 yeah, I am worried, but also excited and expect a battle to breakout. I was kind of disappointed with the time skip and characters returning just to be there, but now it's starting to get interesting again.
ready for farmland saga
And this is only the prologue lol the upcoming slave arc in season 2 is one of the greatest arcs I’ve ever read can’t wait to see it animated
Wait.... where's the intro where ash says "make sure to check out our patreon"
Damn forgot it lol 😳😳
Can't wait for Farmland Saga.... I hope anime onlies dont drop it.... It starts out reallllly slow but its amazing.
The Season 2 trailer is out, you guys should give it a watch (another one that MAPPA yolked up)
damn what a great show
I love how he's like *yeah let's just yeet the king's head* 🤣🤣
one of the greatest anime finale ever !!
No more akse-chad hurts a lot, but tons of manga fans prefer the 2nd arc so there is some heat coming
A character as well written as Askeladd comes around once in awhile in anime it's such a treat his character is so goated 🐐😤
9:45 basically the same scene in episode 4 with thorfinn and Thors 😢
I always wonder if Askeladd would have sided with the King if he hadn't called them slaves.
Did you forget what Askeladd's life goal was? It wasn't to save Wales, so why would he have sided with him?
Askeladd would have sided with the king if the king hadn’t threatened to invade Wales
The Dadslayer
Kill his dad, thorfinn's dad, canute's dad, canute's father figure and all the dad in that one village
Season 2 just got confirmed
Best Anime of 2019
Everybody gangsta until Askeladd says "Become a true warrior." Then the tears start
New characters to come in S2 i hope it comes very soon
I’m sorry guys I’m in Cancun so I didn’t say yay at 12 when it came out but I’m still watching right now😁
Have fun!
@@IntoTheVoidAnime thanks😁
アシェラッドはやっぱカッケーな😭
Amazing ep
No announcement yet regarding Vinland Saga S2 and Dorohedoro S2 as well, btw, is Love is War coming tomorrow?
All the people at the end are new characters sorry if that spoils I’ll delete if it does
Askeladd Saga was pretty good!
やっぱ最高だわ
Even though the trailer is kinda underwhelming (as an anime only) season 2 trailer just dropped.
Askeladd the daddy slayer
Lets goooo
Askeladd's death affected me so much that I started to root for Thorfinn and Canute more further in the series. 🤣
What
Would you do a Chainsaw Man Trailer Reaction ?
😭😭😭
Season 2 thorfin go to vinland real fight..
Cymru am byth
It's crazy to think about, but Thorfinn spent just as much if not more time with Askeladd than he did with his own dad.
What do you mean it’s crazy it’s literally common knowledge
swear this comment is everywhere
@@sj-wn3vk thought it was just me lol
Here we go again
askalad best dad
Askeladd :,(
just saying next season thorfin become a different person.
clue : like his father
the girl on the mountain wasn't Ylva, that character shouldn't be introduced until season 3
Askeladd carry the show. Imo this 1st season was boring and slow. After Thors went out everything felt like a drag. Askeladd made this season worth watching. I’m a non manga reader so hopefully upcoming seasons are good.
He died doing what he loved, killing people's fathers.
