We Got A Horse Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 6 Reaction

Was just about to go to bed, then I saw this lol 😂

I am pretty certain that snake doesn't have a blood relation with the old man. I think he just calls him old man like a regular anime "Gigi" or old geaser or whatever.

For those who are interested in reading along with the manga, this episode adapted the entirety of chapters 63 to 65.

In regards to the passage of time (the manga is more explicit about the dates) by the end of this episode it’s supposed to be October 1015, so about a month or two has passed since the last episode with Thorfinn and Einar (i.e. episode 4).

Also another important thing to keep in mind, the King that Ketil pays tribute to annually is King Harald, who is Canute's older brother and King of Denmark (the King that Canute ousted in the previous episode was Æthelred (and his son Edmund)). Canute and Harald basically split the Danish crown's responsibilities between themselves after Sweyn's death. With Canute taking control of the English campaign and crown, while Harald inherited the responsibilities of governing mainland Denmark.

And something important to clarify about Canute’s role/importance in the Vinland Saga series, while Canute still has a significant role to play in this arc/Season 2, he’s not as significant to the narrative as Thorfinn is (or Einar arguably). And after this arc/Season 2, Canute’s presence in the series will decrease significantly.

Also interesting to see how this episode incorporated some of the cut manga dialogue of chapter 60 (which was what episode 4 adapted) into the last scene of this episode (where Einar states he and Thorfinn are friends).

And like others have said, Snake isn’t Sverkel’s actual grandson, he’s just calling the latter “gramps” because he’s an old guy he’s familiar and informal with.

17:08 It just clicked to me which daddy Director meant.

In eastern culture , anyone can call elderly people gramps or uncle or call senior as brother or sister…. it's not limited to the person with same blood
