I loved the part where Gulf asked why he took the punches instead of fighting back and he responded with 'What kind of stupid question is that?' Like why would he ask for peace and use violence first
Love this episode 😍

WE MADE IT BOYS! The scene everyone's been raving about has finally been animated and it was well worth the wait!

Seeing Thorfinn endure all those punches and saying that he doesn't see any of the warriors as his enemies was wonderful I'm so proud of him.

Canute on the other hand wow, it's really sad to see how much he's been corrupt by the crown and it's curse that he's become a megalomaniac who deludes himself by brushing off all the horrible he's doing while claiming to do it to "create paradise" but in the in the end if Canute brings violence then he'll receive violence because you can't create a peaceful kingdom if all your bring is death and destruction.

So now we have a main antagonist and a protagonist who doesn't want to fight it'll be really interesting to see how the next season plays out.

I fucking love how Eren and Thorfinn character development is completely opposite 
If we kill them? will we finally be free?
to Thorifnn's 
We met today. You are not my enemy.. I have no enemy..
I have read(red) the manga and words cannot explain how beautifully Mappa animated this.. Gosh! the goosebumps.. This episode alone peaks the whole year!

at least there's someone who respect Both protagonists and not praising one while shaming the other.
I agree , one is on the side where violence is necessary an shedding blood is an option while the other has a choice to abstain from shedding blood and living a peaceful life

man i disagree with canute ,he himself acknowledges that god is all powerful unlike himself, then what is the point of rebelling against him , how illogical. what is a paradise on earth ? and what is it really worth if it you go to hell after you die. as a muslim i cannot relate to his ideals.

i like thorofinns arc so much ,most anime characters evolve by "snapping" , they suddenly adapt a point view and commit to it. but thorofinn takes like 15 episodes to choose a life goal "ending war and slavery and avoiding violence" but even then , he breaks that oath only a few eps later by hitting snake.

but now he is commiting it , how marveleous it is to watch an anime fight where a character does not throw a single punch, he defeated him by letting him attack untill he lost his stamina. wow.

canute is not a villain , is he ? i think war isi snormal , it happens but armies must respect humanity and laws of war. canute does that.

before he invaded the farm , he came to them personally to ask them to surrender peacefully, but he wasnt soft, when he saw rebillion he made sure to fight it aggresively. but then he ordered his army to not fight retreaters , to not pillage, and to take care of the victims bodies.

Thorofinn also doesnt call him evil , i feel like canute might be offended if he is called evil after what he did.

also the first time an anime fight is getting resolved by conversation , sheesh

🤔I am not a Christian, but I do not understand canute point of view, although he is a Christian, but it seems that he did not understand God. The place where there is no pain, suffering, or death, God created it, and it is called heaven. And suffering and pain is what makes the earth different and special.
Freedom of choice and heaven cannot meet in one place, and what is the point of building a complete paradise on earth if you will only live for a few decades and then move after your death to another paradise?!
canute is just a hypocrite who doesn't even understand what heaven is. Whatever is built on evil is evil
He understands it but he's decided to oppose it. He wants to create his own paradise based on his own ideas.

Thorfinn and Canute's battle of ideology is a thought provoking sequence. Both are steadfast in their own conviction, but as of now Canute has the upper hand. As he says he is the most powerful king in northern europe and has the power to enact his will, how can Thorfinn overcome this with will alone I wonder?

Canute has become a very menacing man.

Also, don't know why but Thorfinn's fight kinda remind me of Homer Simpson VS Drederick Tatum.

Canute's VA has been outstanding in all scenes of this season, but in this particular episode, he's on a whole different level.

The way he put so much weight into his speech is so good, it did really affect me.

Also, Thorffin wasn't really convincing for during the debate despite being the righteous one. I expected more from him to counterargue Canute.

Nonetheless, this is the second-best episode of the whole series no doubt. Thank you Mappa!

oh well
had to drop the score to 9/10
that human punching bag plot is the dumbest thing I have ever watched in vinland saga.
there are so many better ways to do it... it's really disappointing tbh

anime really peaked when gardar died, it's all downhill from here.

That punching bag shit sure was dumb, for me, it went from 8/10 to 7/10 and it may get lower if I'm not impressed with the last 2 episodes.

A conflict of ideas, between two people extremely determined to put their ideals into practice. Thorffin's character opens the door to many debates over whether his decision is correct. If tyrants decide on a whim to ruin countless lives, would it be possible to make them rethink their attitudes through a sincere conversation, without ulterior motives? Would this really be a viable solution? Questions like this make him a very complex protagonist, rethinking whether he is really making the right decision, seeking to resolve the situation in a way that was previously unthinkable for the other characters, making him surreal, mentally and spiritually evolved.

Leaders start wars, and their subordinates pay for their decisions.

“The two leaders should play a game of Hnefatafl and settle differences.”

Hnefatafl: Board game present in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, before the popularization of Chess.


Um conflito de ideias, entre duas pessoas extremamente determinadas em porem seus ideais em prática. O personagem do Thorffin abre portas para muitos debates sobre, se sua decisão está correta. Se tiranos decidirem por puro capricho arruinar inúmeras vidas, seria possível fazê-los repensarem suas atitudes por meio de uma conversa sincera, sem segundas intenções? Será que essa realmente seria uma solução viável? Indagações como essa, fazem dele um protagonista muito complexo, repensar se está realmente tomando a decisão certa, buscar resolver a situação de uma maneira até então IMPENSÁVEL pelos demais personagens, fazem dele alguém surreal, evoluído mental e espiritualmente.

Líderes iniciam guerras, e seus subordinados que pagam por suas decisões.

“Os dois lideres deveriam jogar uma partida de Hnefatafl e acertar as diferenças.”

Hnefatafl: Jogo de tabuleiro presente nos séculos XI e XII, antes da popularização do Xadres.

So this is what it feels like to witness true PEAK!

Damn Kaji Yuki went all out, that was amazing!

"I have no enemies", what Thorfinn says is simplistic and the most obvious thing.  Yet as this comment section proves some people just don't want to see it that way, and Canute represents that.
who is Kaji Yuki? i think you've mistaken him from VA Uemura Yuuto

Canute wants paradise, but in god's hand, it's forbidden. His previous quote that stood out to me in this episode, "Committing sins as we wander lost is precise what humans do," is a statement about the human condition. It acknowledges that we are all flawed creatures who make mistakes, and that we are all on a journey of self-discovery. Canute himself is a complex character who struggles with his own inner demons, and he ultimately comes to realize that the only way to find peace is to forgive himself and others. The quote can be interpreted in a number of ways. On one level, it is a simple statement of fact. Humans are not perfect, and we all make mistakes. We may sin against others, or we may sin against ourselves. But these sins do not define us. We are all capable of redemption, and we can all find peace if we are willing to forgive ourselves and others. On a deeper level, the quote can be seen as a commentary on the nature of reality. Canute suggests that we are all wandering through a world that is fundamentally flawed. We are all lost, and we are all searching for something. But we will never find what we are looking for until we learn to accept ourselves and the world around us.
