The translation is taking a lot of time to come, the raw version is already out and it's an outstanding chapter. Here is a link to the raw chapter waiting for the English translation to come.

This has to be one of the best chapters of the series, the art was simply stunning and the content presented was top tier. The tragedy can't be avoided, war is not ending, vinland seems just like a utopia that can never be reached, just like the fairytale of artorius. But the journey can't be pointless nonetheless, there has to be a kind of satisfaction that the characters (and especially thorfin) will get, something more important than just reaching a utopian dream, i'm curious to see yukimura's take and how is he planning to end this masterpiece. Failure was a theme that was present from the beginning (with thors, Askellad, thorkel, arnheid, ketil..) some of the got to achieve something that at least gave a meaning to their lives (Thors sacrifice, Askellad sacrifice) some of them got nothing but pain (arnheid, ketil) i'm hoping thorfin and canute will got some kind of payoff to their attempts of creating something that can't be reached.

The depiction of the ritual was amazing to say the least, yukimura has always something interesting to portray.

Next chapter is about canute, this arc has been incredible so far, the tension is building up slowly but surely, we have more insight on the side characters and the themes are slowly converging to the final act. I can't wait to see how this story will end, pleaaaase yukimura don't fuck up the ending, you can write one the most heartbreaking and thematically outstanding endings of all time. He already said this will be the best arc, and i'm seeing evidences of that being potentially true, it only needs a good ending and this can reach the quality of the farming arc or even surpass it.

If yukimura ruins the end i'll probably never pick up an anime or manga series again.

Damn did they literally just show the us history in that chapter lmao??

But damn I kinda saw it coming that thorfinn plan would fail based on history and I'm hoping for the author to go in a different direction and change it a little bit.. Well kinda excited to see what will happen next, and what thorfinn would do.

That old man having those dreams, showing the destruction Norse will bring forth with them. Well you can call it inevitable, as such is the state their world's in currently and it will only get worse from here on. So now i'm really doubting their support to Thorfinn and his crew.

This feels like a cheap way to get the natives to turn on Thorfinn and co and eventually lead to the historical reality happening in the manga. Great art, though.

Best Vinland arc chapter by far and probably the best chapter this year. The art was beautiful.

It was an interesting but also great way to illustrate what explorations & colonialism will lead to as well as a good fictional narrative that will pit both groups against each other. On one hand I can understand the complaints about it being maybe more akin to fantasy, but to me it still feels like the best narrative to go with in order to create a conflict between both groups.

Agree, but I consider Canute's sudden transformation from wimp to ruthless and brilliant leader and Thorkell's shonnen-esque superhuman strength as the first jump the shark moments.

"anglos arent white"

dude, if anglos arent white, then no one is white. also, the shaman call white men "norsemen" because that´s everything he nows about europeans. he doesnt know theres more than one tribe.

the Shaman saw the future where his people become extinct and the white men brings more wars and not peace

Kinda torn on this one. Drinking an elixir and then seeing centuries into the future is kind of bullshit. I feel like there could have been better ways to turn the natives against the Norse. Execution is clunky.
However it's thematically a good idea to show that conflict is inevitable because the Norse only bring war and destruction with them, even if they don't want to (see the dude that brought a sword)
These Japanese gesticulating cartoons are actually quite good
