PEAKLAND SAGA!!! Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 9 REACTION! | 2x9 "Oath"

This was one of if not the very best episode of anime we’ve ever seen. Absolutely perfect. We’ve already uploaded our reactions to episodes 2x10, 2x11, 2x12, 2x13, 2x14, 2x15, 2x16 & 2x17 in our “Full Jellie tier” over on Patreon! www.patreon.com/carlie_and_ange

First, Thorfinn meets his father in what seems to be a heavenly paradise and then his second father in the deepest corners of the earth reminiscent of hell. But instead of representing the bad side of Thorfinn, Askellad is the one that helps him get out of that pit and confront his fears. This show is art. Pure and simple.

One of the all time best episodes. This season is pure peak. 🔥

When Askeladd was on his last breath, he had the chance to told Thorfinn that Floki ordered him to kill Thors, but he chose to instead told Thorfinn to leave and don't stuck in 'this place'. Crazy how the person Thorfinn hated the most became the one (one of few) that helped him become a good person.

Thorfinn's character developing really better than my grades 🤌🤌

If you can replay that scene when pater and ketil are talking, you can actually see muddy full of dirt pater's clothes were. Definitely an image how he was dedicated to find a clue to thorfinn and einar innocence. What a man!

this episode set the bar so damn high but Vinland saga didn’t stop just here

What really bewilderes me is that so much care is put in the story and characters but not just only Thorfinn's There is canute, einar, Arnheid, askelad, ketil and some more characters to come who have their own story that is better than most animes out there Really brilliant !!

The fact that Askeladd who helped Thorfinn climb up and get over his fear and nightmares showed that he is still motivating Thorfinn to be the true warrior he should be, beautiful & perfect ep really, I was a crying mess seeing it and I cried again today. Shout out to Thorfinn's VA too 👏🏼

I love Einar because even though he doesn't understand Thorfinn, he TRIES to understand and supports his friend. When they both wake up, Einar is initially happy and jokes that is was satisfying to see Thorfinn punch the retainer, but once he sees Thorfinn's genuine regret and determination to be reborn, he says "I see. All right. I don't really get it, but I hear you loud and clear." I don't think Thorfinn would go down the road towards becoming a true warrior if Einar was not the one to walk along with him.

Vinland saga S2 Ep 9 and AOT s4 special edition part1 was released in gap of just 2 days, and seeing both of the main character crying and saying "sorry" for different reasons was an absolute treat to watch, to just think that both characters have suffered so much pain their entire life and just drift in different directions due to contrasting philosophies is just an absolute pleasure. To sum it up, both stories teach the atrocities that violence leads to, but Vinland Saga is more of an "aspire to be" like story, whereas AOT is a "cautionary tale" or a "warning"

I can't believe people would dare to drop this show. It's a gem.

Vinland Saga has a lot of S-tier episodes but this one along with S1E24 & another ep in season 2 are in a class of their own

As much as Vinland Saga story rightfully gets the GOAT status , I truly hope the music gets it's due respect as well. It really makes the impact 10x from the Manga

Ange must be crying inside watching the dream scene... because i can see his face and he is hurting a lot... Nice reaction guys. ❤️

pretty much this and AOT are both a must watch for people who wants to start getting into anime

This is the reaction I have been waiting for all these months since the release of this episode. Wasnt disappointed. Now I more hyped about the episodes to come that are even better than this imo. Loved that you appreciated the voice actors in the show. Thorfinn’s voice actors/actress have been S tier this entire show. Infact all the characters have great voice actors. Arnheid’s voice actress is S tier too.

A little bit off topic but, Listening to you guys talk about how vinland saga moved/helped people with their struggle reminded me of Mob Psycho. Yes the one written by the same author as one punch man that may sound weird but Mob Psycho isn't just fighting like opm it kinda shows the struggle of a teenager. I don't wanna spoil more but yeah you guys should consider watching it!

As Ange said, it becomes more and more clear that season 1 was more of a backdrop to the actual story which is season 2. It's so brilliantly written, and MAPPA has done such an amazing job adapting it as well. Probably one of my all time favorite series at this point, a brilliant seinen.

I remember reading this chapter in the manga and being so... overlwhelmed by emotions, I didn't think it was possible to capture this episode so well in anime format but I was proven wrong, absolute chills the entire time, we've been blessed with an incredible adaptation
