Vinland Saga - Reaction - S1E24 - End of the Prologue

Alex understands man. he understands Thorfinns character and the need for him to move on. Thors wouldnt have wanted Thorfinn to kill Askellad.

This guy Alex......He's alright. Good man.

RIP Lucius Artorius Castus. True King of Britannia

At first, I absolutely HATED Askeladd. But by the end of the season, he became my favorite.

Thorfinn subconsciously thought of Askeladd as a father figure, he's been loyal to him for 10 years so its impossible for them to not have some sort of messed up attachment. Him slashing Canute wasn't just out of anger but also revenge and grief.

It's so sad for Thorfinn, losing two father figures in his life, even if the second relationship was built on poisonous foundations.

Askellad the father figure killer 1. killed his own father 2. Killed thorfinns real father 3. Got himself killed-thorfinns father figure 4. Killed Ragnar Canutes father figure 5. Killed king sweyn canutes real father

Thorfinn is not a little bitch. Damn is Nicole is harsh and mean. She really doesn't sympathize with struggle and trauma.

I've seen that Askelad's death hits harder for guys than women.

the guy on the left understands the story well

Askeladd is no doubt best written anime's character. He done worst things that made us hate him, yet we can never hate him.

Lung shot. Always lethal in that time period (and, usually, in this one), but slower than a heart shot. Gives one time to speak, but perhaps there should have been more gurgling. Remember what I said about historical figures a few weeks ago {"if you don't want spoilers, dont read the wiki")? King Sweyn died "suddenly" at that time, though the actual details were not provided. Thorkell The Tall was a Jomsvikings leader (yes, they were real, too) who did in fact turn against them and assisted in the defense of London; later, after the death of Sweyn, he became Canute's mentor. As for Canute? Well, look up Cnut The Great. The name pretty much says it all. Next up: FARMLAND SAGA.

The purpose of Thorfinns arc is to let go of his revenge of Askeladd and let go of his weapon. “Who is your enemy” - Thors It’s kind of funny how you want Thorfinn to kill Askeladd and at the same time, saying you don’t want Askeladd to die. Askeladds character is also very similar to Reiner in AOT.

You guys misunderstood the thing with Askeladd being a king, he said he is the legitimate ruler (as far as blood goes) of Brittannia, that includes Whales, he's not talking about ruling England or replacing Sweyn. He was basically saying to King Sweyn "you just said to my face that you're gonna subdue my kingdom, I'm the descendant of Artorious, you disrespected my people, you're going to die".

Gosh... such an underrated anime! The story, characters, music, animation, voice acting... all top notch! and WIT STUDIO never disappoints!

"How is this gonna help Wales?" Bruh...... (Is that how their thought processes work normally?)

This was just the beginning of what Vinland Saga is truly about. The entire story is literally the exploration of true love, honor, atonement, purpose, and humanity within a world that tries to prove none of that can exist. It's some of the best storytelling I've ever read and can't wait for season 2

Ye Alex is the only one that actually understood the assignment

With the end of the prologue, the "Vinland Saga" can finally start

Vinland saga has been one of my all time favorites! Amazing season 1, hope they continue the great manga adaptation in season 2! Great reactions guys! 😊
