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.

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

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.

RIP Lucius Artorius Castus. True King of Britannia

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

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

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

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.

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

the guy on the left understands the story well

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".

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

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

"The wound wasn't that deep" How deep do you think you have to get stabbed in the chest for it to hit something important?

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

Ye Alex is the only one that actually understood the assignment

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

Farmland Saga in production

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

I was ugly crying when Askeladd died. Y'all strong...

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! 😊

It's interesting. I think we all know that Thorfinn had no future had he did succeed in killing Askeladd. In losing that, he might actually have hope in growth, in change. His story can now finally start, hence the episode is End Of The Prologue

Never imagined that the guy who I hated at 1st that I was gonna cry badly at his death :(

Really enjoyed yalls reaction to this show. One of my favorite anime’s that I went straight to the manga after watching it. So excited for season 2 and yalls reaction!

In the same year WIT studio was able to depict the character arcs of 2 GOATS Askeladd and Erwin from two of the best anime I have seen

Artorius means King Arthur if y'all missed that. King Arthur is the legendary king so Askeladd can claim that thing from legend.

4:27 I felt his frustration after she replied 💀 everything flipped around on the guys like cmoooon😂😭 4:38

What a departure of an amazing character. Next season is Thorfinn's time to shine, who surprisingly surpassed any and all expectations personally and became one of my all time favorite protagonists in animanga. Excited to see you guys follow his journey.

they showed the head of ears being used as target practice, i dont exactly remember when but i think it was when the priest was explaining love to Canute

The one woman second-from-the-right is absolutely correct, revenge through the act of killing Askeladd would have not have helped Thorfinn heal. It's terrible that Askeladd is responsible for Thors's death, but revenge would have just made Thorfinn into what Askeladd became. Askeladd is the perfect foil for Thorfinn, down to the visual symmetry. Askeladd wants revenge on someone for disrespecting his mother (his father) in the same way that Thorfinn wants revenge on someone for killing his father (Askeladd). Askeladd studies under his father for years after the inciting incident that makes him want revenge, just as Thorfinn inadvertently studies under Askeladd and his Vikings for years, both of them waiting for their moments to take revenge. Askeladd SUCCESSFULLY gets revenge by killing his father while he slept, but something about Thorfinn makes him fundamentally different from Askeladd; remember early on, Thorfinn attempts to kill Askeladd in his sleep but ultimately decides against it, and Askeladd (who KNOWS this is how he enacted his own revenge) IS AWAKE AND AWARE OF THIS. I think this is the first point in the story where the wheels start turning for Askeladd that the cycle should stop with Thorfinn.

Canute isn't next in line, exactly, but his brother Harald is all the way in Denmark so he's certainly not going to be leading the army.

guys stop recommending them deep stuff like this, it's too advanced for them just make them watch mainstream stuff

This episode is what really made me a fan of this series

tbh knowing a bit about north sea history i was anticipating when Cnut would take his place or rather when Sweyn would relinquish power cuz he only was king of England for about a year... that being said what a way to do it. this season really did an amazing job establishing a feel of what was happening during those times to better understand the mind and thinking of explorers like thorfinn and leif on their expeditions

THIS IS THE GREATEST ANTAGONIST OF ALL TIME

A lot of people hated askellad in the beginning. But am I the only one who never hated him?

Thorfinn lost 2 dads poor dude

I find the ending of this season to be poetic. Thorfinn wanted revenge on Askellad while Askellad himself wanted revenge himself. Thorfinn doesn't realize it, but both of them had their revenge that very day. The difference is that Thorfinn didn't die in the process. Askellad knew of revenge and what it entailed and I don't think he ever wanted Thorfinn to go down that path.

How long did it take them to understand what Askeladd was upto bruv

you my friends....... just witnessed peak.

Askeladd is one of my favourite characters ever

Askeladd went from being the villain to the Hero of Wales. Strange.

There's a trailer for Vinland Saga Season 2 now. You guys have to watch it!!!!

Time for you finally to start to learn our real MC in next season.

Oof they are so lost, it's not very enjoyable imo

Vinland saga does incredible job earth askeladd. Goes from mosy hated character to a character u hate to see die

You guys are not ready for what's to come!

Alex seems pretty cool yo!!

damn the chick on the right has some MASSIVE....insight

Disappointing reaction. The only one who understands is the guy

thorfinn will become interesting like askeladd soon enough

The headphone warning was a fraction of a second off leaving my ears unprepared and me sad.😔🙏🏾

Alex looks like Ryan gosling it's crazy bro is his long lost brother

男性が途中から黙ってしまったね。 男にしかわからない心情だよな。 トルフィンは二人目の父を失ったのだ。 その喪失感と、クヌートが男として起った瞬間の対比。 男なら、心にぶつかってくるよな。 きっと世界中の男たちが一緒だと思う。

That naruto’ s tshirt 😍, i need you guys react to naruto

omg everyone was slow LOL funny reaction though.

Askeladd : " I'm just a VIKING " 👐🏼

I literally bawled my eyes out when Askeladd died

best anime and manga of all time

Men understand eachother

I just watch cilvanis vid about . "" When people think DBZ is the best anime" and alex here brought it up 😂 i started laughing. It's also he final EP of vinland hhha

All hail Askeladd 🔥

They’re gonna cry this episode check back in to see if they did

You guys should react to dbz abridged ….if not dbz, it is hilarious an amazing

I like the idea of the "king of britain", Arthur handing down the torch to Canute/Knut symbolizing that the king of Britain is not about progenity, as Britain is made out of multiple groups of people who were at once rules and at once serfs, as such the King, Arthur is not belonging to any one group. Askeladd being decendant of the Roman rulers, the Celtic serfs/natives and the new norse lineage fit the bill as the King, but passed to torch down to the new generation to lead the people. (Which he did splendidly, btw)

Hi girls hope you guys are having a great day, I have a request. Can you please react to Hazbin hotel by vivziepop, it is a cartoon, right now they only have a pilot episode but it is worth watching. I really watching your reaction, so I hope you guys can give this a chance

Vinland saga season 2

damn such beautiful reactors!

honestly there is no need to watch dragonball at all anymore. dragonball super is simply a bad anime and sthe easons before are simply outdated and not good compared to current standard. every single dub, whether the original, the english one or the german one, it is really bad. the story is basic af, the animation is obviously outdated and the fights and soundtrack are nothing to remember. the reason why dragonball is so good is because of its impact and history, not because it is a good show. people used to watch dragonball as a child, they grew up with this show and the big 3 only exist thx to dragonball, while most shows like jujutsu kaisen for example wouldnt exist without the big 3. thx to dragonball we live in a good time for anime, but dragonball is not a good show to just watch. if you didnt watch it as a child, dont bother. oh and a little funfact: here in germany, at least in the beginning, vegeta (how tf is this name a spoiler, its literally the only character that matters besides goku, who is the main character) has the same voice as spongebob.

I RECOMMEND U GUYS TO WATCH ONE PIECE.

I love you sammy 💗😳

ФУ_ФУ таких

you guys aren't concentrating at all Isn't that too many people?

なんで急に入ってきたおっさんのリアクション見なきゃいけないのか

Accept Jesus as your lord and savior

Waiting for Aot

i love that glasses girl who's that who's that who's that

Morgan look so hot wearing those glasses

Cannot wait for next season to get animated, the slave arc is the literal peak of VLS, everything after is "meh"

Wow Nicole being narrow minded here. Hope she was trolling “thorfinn is a little bit*h” lol ok have someone kill your father or loved one and egg you on then use you like a slave for their own desires for 10 years and then have them rub in your face that they’ve used you all along and then you’re only purpose in life dies to someone who never wanted to fight him or had a reason to fight him in the first place. (He did kill Ragnar but you get my point. Canute didn’t want to fight him here anyways) His whole world crumbled in front of him. And in a messed up way askeladd was a second father figure to thorfinn and wanted him to grow out of his path of revenge and become a good man. He had a messed up life which is what made him who he was as a person but in the end he made 3 selfless acts to solidify his character. He saved his country, made Canute king by making him look like the hero who slayed him and positively impacted thorfinns growth for the long run. So after going through all of that for Nicole to say thorfinn is “a little bit**” is just a narrow minded comment that doesn’t deserve any real consideration. Just a mindless comment

18:58 ... They are the characters that will be most important for Thorfinn's evolution and final fight... Einar, Gudr and Hild... his best friend (the ship's slave), his future wife (girl in a beach) and the final test (girl climing the mountain), someone whom Thorfinn made him step into the abyss of hate that Askeladd brought him... all while evolving into the greatest manga and anime character out there
