Vinland Saga Episode 11 Reaction | A Gamble

Hello ! 👍 Please, becareful, don't spoil in the comments, no spam, no links, no politic, no advertising etc and respect Teddy's wishes. You can debate among yourselves but without any spoilers. Thanks and enjoy her reaction guys/girls! 😌

It's important to note that Thorfinn's love for his father is more of a respecting your favorite celebrity and less of a familial love because he doesnt remember anything other than one or two moments about him anymore... That is also why in his "dreams" his sister and mother always say and do the same things, one line he remembers them by.

I don't know if you noticed, the first episode when Thors was fighting in London, thorkil was actually with him fighting alongside

I love the dudes casually talking about what god is the strongest like it’s Goku vs Naruto or something.

Canute is just a beautiful man. I thought he was a lady at first too

Askeladd never swore a oath on the name of his father Olaf. He did on the name of Odin or on the name of his ancestor Artorius. In the first case he lied, in the second he kept the oath. The next few episodes will explain why. The fact tat he presents himself as Askeladd son of Olaf is because at the time Norse people did not use real surnames, but patronymics. For example, Leif was known as Leif Erikson ("Leif son of Erik"), as he was the son of a guy named Erik the red. Thus, Thorfinn's name should be Thorfinn Thorsson, and Canute's name was Cnut Sweynson. If Canute was a princess, the name would have been Cnut Sweyndottir ("Canute daughter of Sweyn"), but he was a guy, both historically and in the show.

Didn't what Willibald (the priest) meant by "whichever one made booze" is how Jesus turn water into wine, so basically he said Jesus is better than Norse's gods. Or am I just overthinking it?

Bro... Vinland saga is literally my 2nd fav anime after aot... And the last episode of season 1... Its one best ever... EVER!!!

I love the way you are "hating" on canute every time he is on screen 😂

Teddy would be SHOCKED to know the VA for Prince Canute, I BET

Something that I love about this show is that it's told just like how viking saga's historically are told. Saga storytelling were historically used by Vikings as stories that cover the life of great warriors, their deaths, their childern's life and so on. Viking sagas are kinda like records of a great person's life and lineage that were usually only passed along from mouth to mouth and not written. A lot of the viking sagas that have been preserved from that long ago show a trend of being widely exaggerated. Someone who might have only been taller then most would rather be described as "being as tall as a mountian" and would seemingly have almost supernatural strength and would always die saying the most epic one-liners. In reality this was because the people passing on the stories would exaggerate the stories. Thorkell chopping his axe and killing like 5 people at once is totally unrealistic, but is exactly how warriors are potrayed in historical viking sagas. This show isn't necessarily ment to be a historically accurate interpertation of the viking era, but rather how the viking era was described through the saga stories from this era.

The story is fictional but it's inspired by real history, and during the era the story takes place "Vikings" were slowly converting to Christianity, particularly the aristocracy and merchants which would be influenced the most by the rest of Europe, which is why there is a bit of conflict between people believing in the old Norse mythology and the newly converted to Christianity.

“Whichever one made booze” hmmm, now I wonder if he refers to the turning water into wine.

Thorfinn, Askeladd and Thorkell are such brilliant characters, I can’t help but find myself smiling when they’re on screen and it seems like you’re the same Teddy haha. Keep up the top tier reactions! :)

3:30 Teddy I will not tolerate Canute Slander

You easily became my new favorite reacter. I can't wait to see you finish this series keep it up.

i think you miss or forget, in the first episode thorkell fight alongside with thor in the war at the ship but then thor go dive in sea to run away from war.

yeah but also if Thorfinn just happens to die in one of his missions its gonna be a win for Askeladd as well. Its a win win for him because wheather Thorfinnn succeeds or dies its a win for him, he doesn't risk anything by sending Throfinn out there

1:24 The first time i saw Askelad, i was like, "isn't he the guy who fight with Thors in episode 1 opening scene?"

Not quite. Its when he swears on Odin instead of his ancestor Artorius. Thorkell is also the guy from the first minutes of episode 1. The guy who fought with Thors. Also good timing. Season 2 is gonna come out in the winter season. Changed from Wit to mappa yet again :D. Farmland arc bois.
