I disliked him at first but after finishing season 1 he became one of my favorite anime characters.

Including the last episode i might not hate him that much but since the beginning of the series he did a incredible job to piss me off, and i would say that it's a very rare trait for a anime character to be hated and still wanna be watched.He is one of my favourite villains from all the animes i have ever watched.

I'm talking about literal hate,like wanting to go into the anime,pulling out his nails, cutting off his fingers,making him bleed,taking out his organs but still keeping him alive just to suffer.Like wanting to see him dead by the hands of Thorfinn.

These thoughts came into my mind before watching the climax episodes.
Did you felt the same way?

he is not a villain. people need to stop watching anime in black in white lol

I guess the story was shown to us from thorfinn's perspective and Becouse thorfinn was angry from askeladd for killing his father so we also felt that too
otherwise askeladd just did his job he wasn't a villain for me, he killed Thors but we should keep in mind that Thors also killed people who would have had family and thier family would also feel the same rage as Thorfinn

Ok I don't hate him
I like his character

I hate him and pretty much all the crew, but he's an incredible well written and interesting character. I believe he was supposed to be just like that, both a bad ass and an evil antagonist. But yeah, the village massacre scene really made me lost any empathy for him.

Hell no. The man even before the last episode when he was fighting for the danes was more noble than any viking. Even though he was a shitty person at times, everyone was at that time and his moral compass just like others was way more bleak. And the last episode of course made it better.

He simply did as a Viking with a contract would. Plus the slow revelation of his motives was done really well.

thorfinn??useless???
he was just angry and prideful, the dynamics between these two is one of the best in all anime community
yeah, as for me he was annoying and useless. We could argue but I think it's pointless cuz everyone has their own view and opinions.
Annoying is ok but I don't think you can go around calling a character was useless when he was not.Thorfinn was the most usefull guy in the Askeladd team and it's really surprising to see when someone calls him useless because he was not some Sakura that you can call useless and everyone's going to agree with you that's why I really like to know your reasons behind calling him useless.

I don't hate him as a character; in fact, I think he's a fantastic character, and the fact that you felt all these emotions because of him only goes to show how wonderfully he's written. However, as a human being, he was an asshole. Specifically, the moment in which they massacre the entire village's families. That was very distressing to me.

Also the mindset "I hate the villain bc the author wrote him to be hated" is stupid

Short and Simple. I love him. to me he seemed like more of a main character than thorfin, although hes basicaly a bad guy the way he goes about things how he conducts certain actions is a joy to watch as most of the time its unorthodox, they way he sliced the kings neck right off his shoulders is a perfect example. I adore him hes just a joy to watch, especialy since you can feel so many different ways about a character who isnt even the mc

At the beginning i didn't really like him too much. Definitely never hated him.
But by the end of the season he really grew on me. Was one of my favorite characters in the anime.

For some reason I love Askeladd. He's something like my comfort character. Maybe because while Thorfinn grows up we also see Askeladd reveal more about his character.

I mainly disliked his crew for invading innocent villages, murdering, stealing, raping etc. just so they could make a living for them & their loved ones.
I loved Askeladd as a character though, he was like the villain protagonist in the story.

#1 - Kira (Light Yagami) killed many honest police officers (including FBI agent Raye Penber and his wife Naomi Misora), deceiving Misa who decides to devote her life to Light, Killed Kiyomi Takada (known as Light's ex girlfriend). Even after all that he has 88K+ people like him as their a favorite character. (Personally I don't like him or hate him, but I kind of pissed at L for getting killed by him).

#2 -Zero (Lelouch Lamperouge) killed countless peoples including innocent civilians and even his little sister Euphemia. (154K+ people likes him as their favorite character)

#3 - Erwin Smith and his actions took many lives of his comrades or subordinates including civilians at the Stohess district. (23K+ people likes him as their favorite character)

I am not comparing any of them with each other or Askeladd (20K favorites) but anime needs characters like them. He is not evil if the the world inside Vinland Saga is a survival of the fittest.

Conclusion: I don't hate him.

We all hate villains in the beginning. but once we actually know their story and what they're saying is making sense. We might as well be one of them and become hokag-- comrades!

I really hate him especially after 13th episode where him and the group he led deceived inncocent villagers by gathered and genocided them on the same place. But as episodes went by, I started to like him, but my hate towards him is still there.

I was just about to make this post. Yes, I hate Askeladd, down to my core. I thought he was going to have some redeeming moment because everyone seems to fawn over him but he never had that moment. It's crazy how his manipulative behavior is labeled as "strategic" and "crafty" but in all reality, he's just an asshole with dumb characters surrounding him.
I haven't read the manga so don't spoil me!

He was my favorite through the whole show, so definitely no.

His character is very well written and kept everything so interesting, so I loved whenever he came on screen. He wasn’t a good person at all, but that doesn’t change the fact how amazing the character itself was.

At the end of the day Askeladd is a terrible person that has probably executed countless people for his own gain. He very much is a person driven by survival and doing whatever it takes to survive and using people similar to how lelouch would. He gets a big reveal of his backstory near the end, but it doesn't really change anything other then showing he has tough past that has defined him as a person.
He is the the real star of the show for the season and drives the show forward.
