Thorfinn as a character has been receiving hate from fans because he is “soft” and “weak”. I disagree with all my heart. You misunderstood Vinland Saga and this video aims to revisit the story of Vinland Saga
Vinland Saga season 2 has come to an end. If you’re a fan of Vinland Saga, then you know why this season is special! The arc is titled Farmland Arc or the Slave Arc and is by far one of the best parts of the original manga. This anime series is truly exceptional and it’s sure to captivate your attention from beginning to end. With stunning visuals and thrilling action, Vinland Saga Season 2 is a must-watch for fans of anime everywhere! I will say this, it does suck that we will not get more episodes of Vinland Saga. We will have to wait for season 3 to come out. Vinland Saga Season 2 was beautiful, there were so many heartbreaking moments and so much growth for our beloved characters like Thorfinn. I will catch up to the manga since Studio Mappa might not be working on a season 3 for a long time. Who knows…
As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Enjoy the video!

I know I am making a big statement by saying that "Vinland Saga is the Best" but hear me out and watch the full video. With that being said, what were your favorite parts of Vinland Saga?
I remember your old video on Vinland Saga and I will say this again here. Vinland Saga is truly one of a kind, its hard to find anime that manage to do what Vinland Saga does. The violence and animation are great but it comes down to characters like Thorfinn and Asekladd, that make the series all the more better.
I was a pretty big fan of the first season of Vinland Saga, but it always felt like it was following a shonen character through a seinin world and, practically all the way to the end, Thorfinn maintained that role without showing much in the way of growth. I loved Askeladd, and while I enjoyed watching Thorfinn, I can't say he stood as much more than a vehicle for vengeance who lost his opportunity in the end.
S2 showed the kind of growth in his character that I was looking for and the slower pacing allowed his development to build out more organically. Einar was a strong complement to him, representing both the people that he slaughtered during his blind rage (his past) and the peaceful life that he started out seeking aimlessly (gaining experience through the work on the farm) and eventually chose as his path forward (founding a peaceful society in Vinland). I also love that, while Canute stood in stark contrast to the pacifistic life he was developing, his confrontation with him wasn't what solidified his path forward. Instead, it became a demonstration of his resolve, one so powerful that it moved a man who had done his best to eschew his humanity not to anguish or fear, but to laughter. He evoked a strong positive emotion from one who had forgotten what it was like to feel that in pursuit of power.
It also helped that this season had some of the best single episodes of any anime I've seen in recent memory, particularly Oath and Way Home. So, yeah, big fan of S1, bigger fan of S2. Great video.
You can't just put land of the lustrous ost in the background 🥲 while talking about one of my favorite stories ever. You tryna kill me?! Good video by the way 👍🏼
very good video

I'mma get this out of the way, being a hero has nothing to do with morality. A hero is someone who has a purpose greater than oneself. So when Thorfinn finally makes the decision to find Vinland, that is when he became a true hero (true warrior), same with Canute wanting to create paradise on earth, it makes him the villain to the perspective of those he prosecutes, but he's still a hero nonetheless no matter the morality of his actions.
vinland saga should be best anime of the year 2023
Funny when the anime watchers catch on to something people knew for like 20 years.
Even if he had killed Askeladd the result would be the same. The emptyness would might have been worse because after killing him he would feel a deep regret after realizing he liked him as a father figure
Vinland Saga has become my all time #1 favorite anime, absolute peak masterpiece
Peak
All I can say is this. Farmland Saga = Peakland Saga. God story!!
Finally a land of the lustrious fan
you just casually get half of the names wrong
Honestly, it is the best single season of anime I've ever watched
6:11 working on who's farm? Lol
Dope video instasub
Vinland Saga is one of my favourite stories, I've ever had the pleasure of reading/watching. Thorfinn is such a wonderful character, everything he goes through and how he develops. I would gib him many'a kisses if he was real.
Season 2 was more like Sleeper Saga. You couldnt pay me to rewatch it. I contend that if you liked season 2 (loser thorfinn) its probably because you saw yourself in him
Most of the same people who hate AOT's ending also hate Vinland Saga S2.
Great video! What make Vinland Saga pretty good, is the historical context, some fights are obviously exagerated, its anime after all, but many things that happen on screen is real. Life is unforgiving
Air gear Vid?
What was the background music for this video?
it's not even the fault of those people who abandon Vinland Saga because "it gets boring" or "Thorfinn became soft and weak". the glorification of violence in media since ever is the fault, even the Season 1. Sure from Season 1 it's still a commentary about violence is bad, but truth be told the violence there is pretty cool. Thorkell vs Thorfinn is cool, Thorfinn killing all the soldiers is cool, all the atrocities Askellad did is very scary, but Askellad himself is cool.
so it's okay if people thinks S2 is bad because they abandon the violence, because we so used to violence being cool in media (movie, series, game, book, etc) so a full season of commentary about a person who went on violence rampage his whole life realizing his deeds is wrong and went searching for forgiveness is not everyone cup of tea.
but man i love season 2. it's my personal opinion but Vinland Saga is my favorite media ever. it's kinda biased opinion, but that's what opinion is. it touches my heart and all the messages it trying to deliver resonate with me fully. i love all the character and the best part is everyone in this story felt like a real person, who you can talk to and have a conversation with.
sorry for the long comment, but for those who still want to give S2 a chance and be open minded about it, i'm sure it'll be an experience you will never forget.
