| RIP Thorfinn’s long hair, you will be missed :( In all seriousness tho this was possibly the greatest episode in the season, best anime of 2023 in my opinion (so far) |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| Yet another great anime ends this season. I'm glad they didn't get rid of those funny moments with Bug-Eyes. I loved those in the manga. But man, Ylva was crazy strong lol. I feel bad for laughing at Thorfinn when he was knocked out. π |

Mr_Eccentric777 said: Leif is easily one of the best, if not the best, supporting characters of this show. He might not have a lot of screentime, he might not be as flashy or significant during specific arcs like some other characters, but he is one of pivotal figures in this show, for real. His influence on Thorfinn, his supportive nature... he didn't give up on finding Thorfinn, even after all those years and after all those people started making fun of him and his quest. And even after finding Thorfinn, he offered his hand to make Thorfinn's dream come true. I'm an anime only, but I feel his help will be crucial in Season 3 to gather funds and form up a decent crew.A shout out to my boy Leif for sticking by Thorfinn's side in quest create a peaceful land in season 3 which I will wait for patiently if means we the same level of quality. |

Pre_Yum said: You've said it beautifully. This has been a very good adaptation from top to bottom. People who loved the source material and treated it with care and devotion. The changes they did added and not substracted to the story and it's themes.Possibly one of the most remarkable adaptations I've ever seen in my life. What an incredible season and arc it has been. Throfinn's character development will be remembered forever. Thorfinn finally is back to his home after so many years and what else can I say? It was as expected a beautiful but emotional moment for them. Seeing the face of your mother and sister after so long must've been such a great feeling for him. I felt so happy for them finally reuniting with each other. Ylva has grown into a beautiful woman and still is a badass. Love her so much. It was so funny seeing her handle Throfinn like a kid. LMAO. She's so strong. Helga has gotten old but didn't need anyone telling him about her son. What a lovely moment it was. Love her as well. After a long journey, we will finally be making our moves towards Vinland. A peaceful land. That cinematic scene with Thors at the grave and the ending sequence was so beautiful. Throfinn after a haircut and no facial hair looks very soft. LOL. I'm not a guy who casually gives every show a 10 but this show tied me to a chair and forced me to give it a 10/10. LOL. But, I was very glad that I was able to experience this journey with so many people. I will cherish this show forever. Thank you to everyone who was involved in this show, from Yabuta Shuhei and his team at MAPPA to Mr. Yukimura. It was once in a lifetime experience for me personally. Looking forward to a S3 which should be just as good and also be more palatable to shounen fans who were looking for a more "action packed" show. |

EVAMAAKU14 said: I'll be honest. It wasn't a good decision. It was my least favorite episode because unlike the others it felt like it dragged on. They should've adapted more than one chapter for it. But it's still a decent episode on its own. 0451 said: If I have to nitpick, the only episode that I didn't like as much as the others were episode 17 where Gardar died. It felt like the only episode that was stretched with a lot of repetition because the animators didn't have enough material to adapt. It could use some trimming. It wasn't stretched out because the team didn't have enough material, they could have easily adapted two chapters for episode 17 instead of 1 chapter plus a lot of anime original content. It's clear that it was a intentional creative choice to make the episode like this. Even the worst episode of Vinland Saga Season 2 is still a good episode (kinda). |
| A fitting finale to this incredible season. Strong anime of the year contender |
| What a perfect way to end this incredible season with Thorfinn finally meeting his family again (even though his sister is...something ahaha) |
 |
| Thorfinn should've at least kept his beard on but it'll grow back in no time anyway. This season is unexpectedly way better than the first one, good thing I gave it a try. |

| real masterpiece. Thorfinn is very different this whole series and I still really enjoy the show. WOW |

| Helga seeing her son again after so many years. Mother's love so impeccable. Oh and Ylva being Sakura no.2 and now that she's older she looks more like Thors than Thorfinn does. He only has his father's eyes appearance wise. Btw... they really did leave out the bonding again convo as bro & sis between Ylva and Thorfinn and the head shaving, huh. Also no new characters tease at the end? Come on, that's unfair. |
| A fitting end to the story. If the show doesn't get another season this is a good enough conclusion IMO. Finally, the characters get closure and peace after enduring so much pain and suffering. I think I will pick up the manga now and continue with Thorfinn's pacifist Viking Jesus arc. Also, Ylva knocking out Thorfinn with one punch was hilarious! |
| Towards the end of season 1, I was sure that we will never see Thorfinn go home again. But here we are are!! :') This season was something special & will always remain close to my heart. Masterfully crafted, bravo to the author and MAPPA! 9/10 |
| I was so busy studying for my exam, I completely forgot about the last episode of Vinland. I just watched it today and it's a great way to end the serie, espically for Thorfinn who will try his hardest to create a place in Vinland. It felt so fucking good to see him back in Vinland and to see his family again. The reaction from his sister was hilarious, completely different from her mother who even saw Thor in him. They're also supporting him with his idea. A great family to have, and he knows that. Everything from visuals to soundtrack, animation, character acting were absolutely top tier. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Oh yes a solid closing of the farm arc. Things will become way different from now on. Time to catch up with the manga in this meantime until season 3 releases. |
 |
| Excellent finale to a excellent season xd Though I am a little sad that the cut out the scene where Ylma cut Thorfinns hair. It was very sweet when she sight in relief about finding evidence on Thorfinn´s forehead that he really was her little brother. Maybe hopefully they could show this scene at the start of next season or something. |
| How I love a game |
| Holy slkflsdf! Thorfinn looks a lot younger after trimming his hair and shaving his beard. And who's that person beside the grave? Is it the same person wearin' an armor? 10/10, it's now one of my all time favorites! |
Signatures are too distracting  ^ visit my webby ^ |
| This is what a masterpiece looks like, the journey to this point was breathtaking. |
| Crucial story points shown in this season, me thinks. I didn't like how they handled a lot of it but to each their own. |
| Final episode could've been better without that comedic bit, way to ruin the moment. Otherwise a fine episode and a beautiful season. Cannot wait for Baltic sea arc everyone's talking about. Hoping S3 gets confirmed! |
