Now the season is getting really good after a bit slow start for me. New opening is great, definitely better than the first part.

Ah the 2nd cour is her with a banger OP and mesmerizing ED. A cinematic thriller is upon us now.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

I’m glad some fighting / intensity has returned. Felt slow there for a while. Although I’m sure the recovery time is super important for thorfinns character development

Dude, Einar can't catch a break. Arnheid has a husband and he's the walking definition of GAR.

Gonna miss "River" a lot, by the way.

Great episode as usual. And wow, I didn't think it was possible...but Einar's ship has gained another hole. First his crush was getting buss down from massa' now it turns out she's married with a kid. Yep, this ship hit a iceburg. Well luckily Einar, that dude probably isn't going to be living for much longer by the look of things.

Speaking of death flags, gigi looks like he's on his way out :(

People out here feeling bad for Einar but like Arnheid has it way worse. I feel so bad for her. Her servitude includes being a mistress to the master (sex slavery; which is rape) and she has been separated from her husband and family this whole time. Her reunion with her husband is looking to be extremely tragic. I don't see how he is gonna get away with what happened without getting killed or executed.

Another raw and powerful episode, starting the 2nd half of Season 2. The return of "Survive Said the Prophet" for the OP song is a pleasant surprise.

My only complaint is the subtle changes in character facial art in this episode. Thorfinn looks good most of the time, but Arnheid the female slave looks so different and kinda masculine now compared to previous episodes.

Again, Vinland Saga is the still the most significant story in the anime world now for me. There are quite a few great-looking ones in Spring 2023, but are they going to be as substantial as Vinland Saga?

holy shit one of the best episodes till now. absolute fire.

it made me indescribably happy to see thorfinn laugh and eat happily like that. soo happy for him and for einar and arnheid as well. they are still trying their best to live happily even as slaves.

the last part though goddamn, got goosebumps all over my body. can't wait to see how that man reacts after finding out what arnehid has been through. that reminds me they are fucking spoiling everything in the opening bruh what's wrong with MAPPA always putting spoilers in the OP?

6/5 episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Someone else mentioned this but I thought the runaway slave at first was Einar in a flashforward lol. But plot twist, instead it's Arnheid's HUSBAND??? My man Einar really can't catch a break. Things really just got way more interesting now that Gardar has entered the picture. 
Same. Cue close of Einar in shock and after they had such nice moments together too oof.

This new opening is meh. Over the place musically and trying way too hard to be metal. The first one was way more catchy and its classy psychedelic visuals made it look like an OP out of a James Bond movie. Why always fix something that's not broken??

New opening by Survive Said the Prophet is godlike and the episode itself signals the changing tide of the story with the war over Ketil's farm on the horizon and the x-factor of Gardar possibly running rampant in the farm too. Really excited for the next episode!

I thought that he is Einar too🥲 I saw the opening earlier than the episode and I was happy for Einar, hoping he has a good future and what I saw in the opening is true and I won't be robbed like with the JJK op. But now I am confused if Einar or Gardar is in the opening in the first place.

ps.: I don't need spoilers, I was just wondering.

i haven't read the manga and even i could tell what is coming in future episodes from the little that was shown. anyone with 2 braincells can tell what is coming after seeing the opening properly.

@ZXEAN from what i remember.
if that's not called a spoiler then i don't know what is. and well in case i'm wrong there's no need to correct me, i don't want to know what actually happens, i would prefer going blind :)

Gramps asking Arnheid if she stays overnight was suspicious if not for we already know how great man he is iIdefinitely would have thought he had bad intentions but he needs to stop working on the field now atleast for his health.

Thorfinn Einar and Arnheid these three make a great combo i want more of those scenes

Arnheid is finally getting her time to shine but Gardar being her husband is making me think that this doesn't going to end well especially with SNAKE being there and our Einar dream is not possible now at all . Just hope nothing happens to Einar and Arnheid I don't want either of them to die.

With this and Canute coming we are in for treat but i highly doubt Thorfinn would fight after all he said but it would be interesting to how this will end. I want Thorfinn and Canute to meet though it would interesting to see their interaction as now they are completely opposite to what they were

So the lizard died serves them right how can he and that pig be shouting like despite knowing how strong he was to have a bounty on him

Oh no Einar, plz become gay. But somehow it's even worse for Arnheid now that I think about it, separated from her husband and having to be another man's mistress. Now, imagine if they had children.

This was a great way to start the second cour, with the OP and ED songs being pretty stellar once again. Visuals and animation for it, as well as this episode, was also solid, too. =)

While he's still pretty much useless when it comes to making food for himself, I do have to respect Snake for going out of his way to look after Sverkel after he collapsed while tending to his farm. It was also interesting to see Thorfinn eavesdropping on the pair as Snake read verses from the Bible to Sverkel as he rested in bed.

The main talking point, however, was the new character that started this episode off, Gardar. He reached his breaking point in being a slave and killed off his master and setting fire to his house amongst other things before heading off. It wasn't surprising to see him ending up on Ketil's farm, where Arnheid recognised him and called out to him. He responded to her call, as he was looking for her. It was at that moment when he called her his wife, which will be a dagger to the heart for poor Einar.

It'll be interesting to see what will happen next, considering how volatile Gardar is from what we've seen on him so far.

Writing as I'm watching the episode
For A second there I thought that was Thorfinn at the start and was horrified. So glad it's not him.
The new OP is a BANGER
Didn't expect Vinland Saga to make me laugh today lol
This has the most detailed hands I've ever seen in anime seriously"My wife!" Maaan, poor Einar (for the second time). That slave is probably Arnheid's husband from when they were free or something.
The ED is amazing too. The EDs in VS always have this calm yet emotional feel and this one is not an exception.Another masterpiece episode of Vinland Saga

Wonder what's so special about the book Snake decided to sell after the old master dies.
It's literally the Bible
I mean what so special about that particular Bible that Snake's sole motive is to sell it after the old man dies.
