2025-06-08 04:05:46 +0000 UTCOpinions of French military history is usually a good way to gauge whether someone's knowledge of history extends beyond WW2 or not. WW2 in Europe represents the foundational basis of the modern societal order so everyone knows a decent amount about it. A small percentage of people know any history besides that.

2025-06-07 04:25:33 +0000 UTCWait, THAT'S IIDA?! Oh my gosh, that is hilarious. 🤣🤣 I had no idea Tatum had that kind of range; I loved that guy this episode. 😂

2025-06-06 01:04:33 +0000 UTCFun Fact: The crazy looking French commander that Throfinn calls fat ass. He’s voiced by J Michael Tatum, who is also the voice of Ida from My Hero and Erwin from AOT. He’s one of my favorite voice actors!

2025-06-05 22:32:47 +0000 UTCIf you like Aleks Lee make sure to pay attention to the voices when you get to season 2! There’s a different dub that uses different voice actors, it should be the same. But if the voice doesn’t sound like Aleks then you’ve got the wrong one. As much as I’m a bit annoyed with the Solo Leveling fanbase following the anime awards, I must admit that Aleks Lee is great. He deserved English voice actor of the year, and he does an amazing job as Thorfinn. He’s come a long way from annoying Zenitsu lol.

2025-06-05 21:08:12 +0000 UTCRegarding the “this actually happened” comment, that statement is a bit skeptical. Although Vinland Saga does include a lot of historically accurate events. As well, people like Thorfinn and Leif Erickson (among other characters we’ll meet later) were real people. Some of the specific events like Thorfinn joining a group of pirates that killed his father, are largely fictitious. Of course these events took place a thousand years ago, so we can’t be certain. However, after looking into the history after watching the show, the prevailing opinion is that Vinland Saga takes some large historical liberties.

2025-06-05 20:27:39 +0000 UTCI know it's just a fun "meme" but the French army was not cowardly. They damn near conquered Europe under Napoleon & in World War 1 were a huge part of defeating Germany. The more ya knw & all that

2025-06-05 02:32:35 +0000 UTC. I in no way mean this to be rude I know you guys have issues trying to read when your watching something for the first time but stuff like the year and the kingdom their currently in can be pretty important in this show so maybe if it’s not to much trouble pause the episode and read those captions when they show up.

2025-06-04 23:46:57 +0000 UTCThat's actually kind of a good point as to why some of the characters, like Thorfinn, get "anime logic" to their fighting ability. Like, sure most of the fighting is depicted fairly realistically, but the more important characters and especially the heroes and villains get to have larger than life capabilities because that's just how hero stories were/are told.

2025-06-04 21:31:23 +0000 UTCVinland Saga does such a good job of making the characters cool when fighting but also conveying how wrong their actions are. Like you can't deny that Thorfinn jumping onto the fort is extremely badass but its also so brutal watching him kill them
Erin Ryan
2025-06-04 21:22:19 +0000 UTCI think Askeladd sees how valuable Thorfinn is as a scout/fighter and gladly takes advantage of his one-track mind whenever he wants. Though it wouldn't surprise me if deep down he's grown to see him as a sort of protégé (in his own twisted way).
Juan Solo
2025-06-04 20:29:09 +0000 UTC"If I kill my enemy, will I finally be free?" — Thorfinn, probably
Juan Solo
2025-06-04 19:36:33 +0000 UTCI guess you could say that like the vikings... they're built different 😏
Juan Solo
2025-06-04 19:31:09 +0000 UTCBack before I started the show, when I saw a clip of this episode, an old friend of mine who was a fan said the general was drawn/animated cartoonish to show how he wasn't to be taken seriously (compared to Askeladd who has proven to be an effective leader).
Juan Solo
2025-06-04 19:29:23 +0000 UTCnah we arent haha we think they're cool, but Vinland Saga is kinda just like with aot though where it isnt just fight=cool, its pretty horrible whats going on to the character doing it

2025-06-04 19:22:40 +0000 UTCI beg you please release two Vinland saga episodes a week. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

2025-06-04 18:59:48 +0000 UTCIt’s anime just enjoy the badass fight scenes y’all so judgmental towards battles and fights
Monster FAME
2025-06-04 18:59:31 +0000 UTCThe Vinland Sagas the series is based on are records of historical events but they’re still part of a Norse storytelling tradition. The manga/show reflects that having both meticulously researched historical details alongside heroic feats. Carrying ships between waterways was common but generally involved more dragging across rolling logs than dramatically running into battle with it like mad men.

2025-06-04 18:06:49 +0000 UTCVikings transported their ships overland to get past difficult stretches of water. Smaller ships would be carried by hand using poles, while larger ships would be pulled across tree branches. To trade with Turks, they would carry their boats 10km overland to get to the Black Sea.

2025-06-04 17:59:43 +0000 UTCAskeladd is such a fascinating portrayal of a antagonist. The show doesn't try to hide the fact that this guy is an utter b****rd. At the same time, he's also a tactical genius that we can't help but admire when his plans work, and he's even a pretty funny guy. And that's not even going into the nonchalant way he interacts with the MC who thoroughly wants him dead. Askeladd could've killed Thorfinn or let him die a long time ago, but the fact he keeps him around is so baffling, yet ingenious in a sort of twisted way. I feel like we're gonna constantly go back and forth about how to feel about this guy throughout the series.

2025-06-04 15:25:39 +0000 UTCI'm glad Montana brought up stockholm syndrome, thats something Ive been wanting to ask about in the time skip episodes.
Cyan_SkyAnfall
2025-06-04 15:12:12 +0000 UTCNot a bad example of starting the story in medias res.
HBelmont 24
2025-06-04 14:39:14 +0000 UTCYes carrying boats is very much possible, its a tactic that was used a few times in actual historical warfare
Historia-Europa
2025-06-04 14:37:35 +0000 UTCThis was actually chapter 1 in the manga and sets up thorfinn and askeladds dog/master relationship before jumping back to how the show starts. I think it slots nicely here too
Branch haver
2025-06-04 14:32:49 +0000 UTCWhat are Viking longboats made of?? They're light enough for a group to lift them overland, yet sturdy enough to take the punishment of going over a waterfall? 😵💫

2025-06-04 14:31:34 +0000 UTCI love askeladd so much, such a cool character

2025-06-04 14:28:58 +0000 UTCI love how Montana is starting to want revenge as much as Thorfinn lol
Shinji
2025-06-04 14:28:41 +0000 UTCI've always thought Vinland Saga's character was kinda Ghibli-esque, and the Frank general is a GREAT example of this. Compared to everyone else, he's a cartoon. 🤣

2025-06-04 14:20:00 +0000 UTCGood ol' Aleks Le. 😁 Two times now he's voiced dual wielding anime protagonists. ⚔️
