One of the more hard hitting things about this episode, at least for me, is just how easily Askeladd beat Thorfinn and the implications of that. Looking back at their first shown duel post time skip and seeing how Askeladd most likely just faked struggling during the duel to trick Thorfinn into thinking he has a chance, and thus more likely to stay and continue going on suicide missions for him, is just sad.

@23:31 I feel like that was sort of a silly question, just given the timing tbh lol. The fact that Askeladd took the time and effort at all to carry Bjorn’s body back for burial by himself (ton of B alliteration lol) instead of just leaving him out there or telling underlings to do it, is a fairly decent indicator that yes he does care lol he just doesn’t quite wear his emotions on his sleeves or display them as prominently as others

}the answer askeladd gives to canute about why he wouldn´t be king "I´m just a viking", considering his deep rooted hate for warriors, specially Vikings, he, being descendant of olaf as well, confirms that bjorn was right, askeladd hates himself.

One of the most crazy things is that Askeladd has been Thorfinn’s “father” longer than Thors was. Thors was only Thorfinn’s dad for 5-6 years while Askeladd has been around for nearly double that (10-11 years). At the moment Thorfinn’s memory of Thors is long gone by this point outside of his dreams and memories of the day he was killed. It’s shown by his rewind flashback at the end of this episode as no flashback of his childhood before meeting Askeladd is shown. It’s like all memory of his past before his desire for revenge is gone.

i love askeladd's backstory and i love where thorfinn is at now....although i'm coming in with hindsight of having seen the series and read some of the manga god I'm just so excited for u to see the rest of this

Thorfinn realizing he's been full of rage since he was 5-6 years old, carrying around nothing but anger and pain for most of his life without progressing anywhere... He has a loooong way to go, and probably hasn't even accepted this realization yet, but for the first time he's looking inward and seeing wrongness there. He doesn't know quite how to identify or fix it, but now that he sees the hole he won't be able to unsee it. This show is just tragic and beautiful.

This is totally unrelated, do you plan on watching the Fruits basket Prelude movie? Since it's out on streaming services soon?

Yup it's a must watch for me. But it might be a while since there are so many movies and Q&As to do

Damn I’m so glad we finally got to this episode. The scene of Askeladd vs his father was actually the first scene I saw of this show and what got me to actually watch it

Now that u know askelad's backstory i wanted to mention that something someone pointed out to me was if u re-watch previous episodes, whenever he makes an oath on his father's name Olaf, he doesn't keep it, but when he says his ancestor's name, Artorius, he keeps his word.

“We need a light in the darkness, and it’s not going to be Thorfinn for a while,” “Just another slow-paced episode of Vinland Saga where nothing happens,” “There’s one thing I can predict: everyone is going to hell. Everyone is creating a hell they are living in,” “You were sleeping during the death-blow,” “I’m disappointed in people’s inability to kill me,” “How can such a terrible person be so awesome?” “You’re not going to remove evil from the world through killing,” “You’re probably very concussed,” “There’s a part of luck that’s connected to preparedness,” “They’re contributing to the same hell that they hate.
