owarida6 said: Unless I misunderstood, Askeladd's men captured Thor's warship. It was abandoned, because they couldn't sail it without Thor helping. Thorfinn stowed away in the boat that was captured. Though it's surprising nobody noticed that Thorfinn was unaccounted for, I guess a lot was going on... I believe that to be the case too. Out of the two ships, Askeladd’s men took with them one and Leif with the other retreated with Thors’ body (I think). |

| God damn this is good, can't wait for the next episode. Thors dying was pretty sad. Thorfinns death stare tho. |
| I use Arch, btw. |
Nim0174 said: fair point, but its a tiny sense of honor, if he had actual sense of honor he'd have taken the L and retreated He didn't lose, he was still alive and didn't surrender. But yeah, he used the duel as an excuse to take away his attention and capture the kid. He probably would have used another strategy if the kid wasn't with him. |
| Finally it's back, it has been hell without it! Dammit Thors died like a superman!!!! That look on Thorfin's eyes would kill any man, they better brace themselves for what's coming to them. I really need to check out the manga, I'm really hyped about this show. |

Animaniaig said: Besides the Aimer ED, the visuals, which are still quite sloppy for Wit's standards, and the ending scene for this episode Vinland Saga hasn't managed to impress me at all. The source material being good means nothing to me because a good source doesn't guarantee a good adaptation. So far it's enjoyable but that's it. Well, that`s because the anime started with the flashback. Even I who is a big fan of the manga since 2010 was disappointed when they started at chapter 3 (which is the start of the flashback). Now I`m gonna wait till episode 7 before seeing teen Thorfinn. |
| He should've rushed Bjorn and Decimated them all but we needed Thors to die for the plot. |
| F Thors, Cant wait to see more of Askeladd and post time skip Thorfinn, loving the faithful adaptation the studios doing too hope it continues that way. Really hope this does well so I can have my season two |
 |
| After three weeks of waiting, it finally came like it was just released on those weeks. The hype definitely continues into this one. Thors had it coming. Ever since the first three epsiodes, a death flag has been raised to serve as a cataylst for Thorfinn to become a warrior (or a killer idk). But, those eyes... I expect more for this anime. AOTY candidate or AOTS. |
 |
| I didn't expect Thors to die so soon! Dammit I wanted to see more of him :( Anyway I hope this show gets a big following, I want more seasons!!! |
| can thorfinn shut the fuck up |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| holy shit, this could possibly be AOTY (not counting sequels). |
| Welp, this is what happen when you messed up the timeline of the manga (well, even the timeline in the manga is also kinda fucked up, and seems like the anime just make it worse, Lol). Now I can see why the manga chose to show teen horfinn first, And I think it's better like that, Unlike the anime. And looks like we're gonna have some anime-original scene (based from the trailer) about thorfinn and his first Fight/kill, and I really appreciate that, because The manga skipped that part. Anyway great episode, the fight is short but well animated. And RIP thors, you are a great father. So far this is a solid 10/10 anime for me. |

| He knew if he was wanted dead he can't fight all the jomvikings to defend his village and family if he fights back. Fuck this episode its so good yet I wish he didn't die :( Also I knew he was going to die - watch the fucking opening song and see if he's the main character there. |
| Very good episode. I didn't expect Thors to die so early on but Thorsfinn looking like a beast. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
xeco said: mfw people think this is a story about revenge, while the main focus in this season is not even thorfinn. Well people says Askeladd's the MC for a reason.mfw people saying this is aoty but its literraly a generic story of a kid wanting revenge and messing up for being too dumb |
|
| I found out about Thors' death from the description of the anime :/ So I saw it coming a mile away. Still a really good episode and I'm interested to see what will happen later on. I wonder if they're going to do a time skip and show us an older Thorfinn or show us the impact Thors' death has on his family/village. Askeladd seems like a pretty interesting character, not just a generic "bad for the sake of being bad" villain. Pretty awesome character design too. |
 |
| I still think they shouldn't have killed Thors. It's not like many shows don't do this take Shingeki no Kyojin for example. |
 |
| Damn, what an emotional episode. But well, that's just how the way things work for them. F for Thors. This will be the cause of Throfinn's development into a warrior. |

| Such deep meanings, now I know why they say vinland saga is so great. Also applause for animation. |

| how much do you think will they adapt from the manga with this fast pacing ? 12 volumes ? |
Domino03 said: Can someone explain to me how the everyone that was with Thors left his son maybe I missed something but from what I got it seemed as though they left him which doesn't make sense cause why would they do that and if they forgot about him that makes even less sense since why would they forger about the kid of the guy who just died and was screaming half the time during the fight. Someone please explain unless its a spoiler. They didn`t left him, he hide in his father`s ship which was taken by Askeladd group. I think because of Thors death everyone was at lost and was too late when they notice his gone. Anyway this was mentioned in manga when the group report Thors death to his wife and daughter, if they are animating that part its probably on ep. 5 or 6. |
aybekay said: how much do you think will they adapt from the manga with this fast pacing ? 12 volumes ? Probably until the "End of Prologue" since they seem to be adding some anime original scenes (episode 5 for example). |
| Amazing episode and Thors was such a badass till the very end. RIP |
aybekay said: how much do you think will they adapt from the manga with this fast pacing ? 12 volumes ? 7.5 volumes, I think they will adapt the first big arc. |
 |
| Damn, having to rewatch Thors death a second time is sad. He didn't back down and kept his ideals until his death. I really like the guy and all the impact he had in Thorfinn's life. I still remember how much of an asshole I thought Askeladd was when I read this chapter of the manga. At least he had the honor to keep his promise. And with this conclusion of the "introduction arc", the story is starting for reals. I can't wait to see Thorfinn fight. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Nice,enojyable episode. Now it's time Thorfinn. |
KatsutoSaki said: I still think they shouldn't have killed Thors. It's not like many shows don't do this take Shingeki no Kyojin for example. You literally find out he dies in the first chapter of the manga. He was never meant to be one of the main characters. |
Nim0174 said: stupid way to die because of being soft lmao could have just decimated all of them there was no guaruantee they let his son live anyway so there was no reason to surrender especially since this askeladd guy doesn't have a sense of honor i didn't like this episodes writing but overall great episode though sorry but i just don't care about this guy dying in this episode and it felt forced, its way too soon and i've had no time to get attached to him the animation was fucking amazing It's not becuase he's soft. A massive part of his character is he came to despise war and killing and basically vowed to never kill another man and so in a position where yeah he could have killed them all he ran the risk of his village people dieing in the brawl so he decided to give his life for their safety and he also held onto his beliefs like a true man if he went in killing and putting his people in danger it would betray his whole character. |
| Please let this be more than just a revenge story and "wanting to be strong". That was a ton of depth and potential up to now and I'd like it to continue that way. |
adrian_and_sela said: nah dont worry, it wont. And actually the main story is about a bunch of guy traveling to vinland (america). Heck the title is vinland saga for a reason. lolPlease let this be more than just a revenge story and "wanting to be strong". That was a ton of depth and potential up to now and I'd like it to continue that way. |

Yeah, it's clear he'd die in the beginning if you watch the opening, look at the characters on the entry page or read the synopsis. But I still think they shouldn't have killed him. |

YuyoGzm said: TsukuyomiREKT said: If you want 100% action and don't really care about anything else , then this is not the show for you man. Action is an important part of the series, yes, but the story itself takes center stage, especially after a certain turning point later on. I know, but u dont need to be a mastermind to make some good pilot/first episodes... They werent bad, but neither entertaining. I mean, it seems like for most people the first 4 episodes were good/great. 🤷♂️ |
 |
| Damn man I expected him to die but dying so soon.He was a bad ass till the end even the enemy leader respected him. |
 |
| Now the story will really begins, really liking nthe way that wit is adapting Vinland. |
 |
| "I want to be a warrior and kill all the enemies! My daddy is the strongest and can kill anyone! War is the awesomest and killing enemies is the greatest! Oh, no! Daddy got killed! Boohoo :(" |
| Thors was the brother of Whitebeard. I got the same feeling watching him and whitebeard die. RIP great legends. *Playing Legends Never Die in my head* |

| episode was over in heartbeat, very good show so far |
| The turning point of the series is here. Most emotional moment of the story that changed Thorfin for the first part. The death was too much too handle even though it was coming. Thors ideal as a true warrior was strong enough to shake Askladd and his men. Askeladd the wittiest of men in the series got shook up by how a man never went back on his ideals. RIP Thors. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Dramatic episode, awesome animations. Anime of the year material. Would this kid just stop whining and toughen up? *later* OMG...What have we created? :O |
