Who cares about those. They’ll act like chimpanzees for seeing some romanticized stuff for the 100th time, staying silent for a minute, and going back at it for seeing some again. I swear to god some were like “episode 12 is the best episode!”, “Thorgil is the real man, best character by far of this season!”, “He’s just like me fr!” This new generation of people looking up to characters that wouldn’t give a dime about them in real life is cringe AF.

[@oliver-04]

the second season has tons of action, almost every episode has some kind of fight

[@saxenart]

Farmland arc means so much to me, it helped me with my mental health journey. When i read the part of Thorfinn saying that he’s never going to use violence again, i cried. I cried and promised myself that i’m never going to use my hands for violence, only for support. I grew up with violence and abuse, so this scene hit me. Thank you Yukimura sensei

Just look as Isayama. The dude looks like a normal Japanese man, and kind of blends into the crowds, yet he literally has so much money and his series is so full of violence that it's almost surprising to see the real isayama, who is soft spoken and very polite.

As someone from the Nordic regions I am very grateful for his work. He's treated the viking era and traditions with way more respect and understanding than 99% of the viking media that comes out from even my own country. Rather than just exploring stereotypes, he brings in a breath of humanity to the characters and world. The story made me consider the nature of love, and when it is and isn't appropriate to act violently, but also the important of having violence as an option when absolutely necessary. A great man with a great work.

[@raawesome3851]

My girlfriend said she really loved Vinland saga, and I heard of Yukimura, fully, after his talk with Isayama, and how good of a person he was. He spends half of his time working on the manga, and the other half with his family. He really is a great guy. And he's a great writer too, with him getting another fan in me.

[@irecordwithaphone1856]

Based on your pfp, you should check out his story Planetes

[@quinks]

"It didn't work out well" - only because Planetes had more ideas than it had pages. Despite the many themes and ideas it contains, despite being the hardest sci-fi ever to be put into pictures (certainly back then, and only Space Brothers has come close since despite it having been twenty years), it has left a grand total of only 27, twenty-seven, chapters. The anime, while going in a bit of a different direction, had the space to let its themes breathe and simmer. To hear that the creator of Planetes wants to go back to the future excites me like almost nothing else in all of fiction.

[@greed5102]

I love the way he speaks. He's so calm and collected and seems to put a lot of thought behind the things he says. Great interview.

I felt like the way it was presented was violence being bad, but with it constantly being presented, the horrors of violence, I didn't enjoy seeing the show. Season 2, however, has made me finally love the series. Vinland is the only series that I've watched besides Attack On Titan post time skip that has made me feel how awful the violence and destruction is. And I can genuinely say that both of them are in contention for my favorite Manga of all time.

Yukimura-sensei, I live in the constant conflict zone that is Israel, and your work has helped me so many times. I have never found myself relating to a work like I did Vinland Saga. I'm at the edge of my seat hoping every chapter that characters could overcome their differences. Seeing your passion, sincerity and humanity in this interview has been incredibly inspiring. You are every bit as deep as the characters in your work. And the fact that you always write what you want without fearing what's popular is absolutely astounding as an artist.

This has been one of the most endearing interviews I've ever watched. What a 🐐

[@RecordToDeathToBoredom]

This man is so cool. He tries to get his philosophical message through via manga. That was very powerful, around 13:00. He's trying so hard to tell people just how stupid war is and that it's completely preventable. And it's true. He cares so much about us as people. I'm so glad someone like this guy got a lot of recognition. @ 24:40 he thinks it was a mistake to not hold back with how brutal he was in the manga, but it was probably the biggest reason it's so successful overseas. However, I do understand that feeling. There are a lot of people that still didn't get the message. Those who go "Season 2 is so boring, I want more fights like in season 1". They get spoiled by S1's brutal battles and probably the brutality of S1 in general. The way he goes about making his manga doesn't feel like a mangaka doing what they love. It feels like a politician that got into politics even though he hated politics. Yet he got into it BECAUSE he hated politics and wanted to make a change for the better. "I draw a lot of guts and gore, yet I like cute things" this tends to be the case when it comes to doing something for a long time. He draws it so much that he became affectionate to the opposite because it's such a refresher. Even using mangaka as the example, his hobbies are fishing and camping, both of which, takes you out of society and into tranquil quiet, doing almost nothing. While mangaka you're always working, always drawing, always planning, always writing. Work just never ends. When the balance isn't there, people tend to sway the other way in order to rebalance themself. This was an awesome interview. I stopped watching Vinland Saga after about 3 episodes because I felt so done with the violence. There was so much violence and I didn't like Thorfinn. Thors was a great father and people at the time put him down; especially with how Askeladd took the stage. I already knew where the story has been going through osmosis of reading comments on the subreddit. People always talked about Vinland Saga on the weekly popularity ranking. For me, that was good enough. This interview though, makes me want to watch it now, ngl. Knowing how great of a person this guy is, I can't help but want to support him somehow.

[@dh5363]

Fascinating how he sounds like an audience that discovers these moments in the manga as they come along (while talking about his favorite scene) rather than as a creator with a God perspective. As if Askeladd and these characters are real who really said these dialogs and performed the actions in front of him, and not actually him giving them their voices.

They will, it's confirmed. My question is how many seasons are we gonna be looking at come the end of the series.. At least 5 if we're to assume the Baltic War will be one season and Gudrid, Karli and Hild arcs will be Season 3.. Can't see them fitting the war and the other arcs all into one season so it seems we're looking at least 3 more seasons surely?

[@chiarruzini1191]

​@@ChanoTha1 maybe just 2 if they fit everything pre-Vinland in one season and leave the 5th season just for the Vinland arc

[@ChanoTha1]

@@chiarruzini1191 next season is going to have to be more than 25 episodes then if they’re doing Gudrid, Karli, Hild and Baltic War all in one season. Season 1 - 2 covers up to chapter 100 so 50 chapters a season basically. To cover everything up until they depart for Vinland in one season they’ll have to cover up until chapter 166 so 66 chapters. That means they’ll have to leave out a good amount to stick to the 24/25 episode structure season 1 and 2 had. Could they do it? Yea totally but I hope they split it into two parts that exceed 24 episodes or just do a 28/29 episode season

[@400cabal]

Yukimura-sensei mentions Andy Weir whose books he loves. If you're not familiar with Andy Weir, you may be familiar with the 2015 film The Martian which is based off of one of his books.

Great interview! Makoto Yukimura seems like a very thoughtful, caring and focused person. Asking if war really is necessary is usually pushed to the side and told off as childish thinking, that's why i appreciate his clear focus on this question.

[@Vulcano7965]

One of the greatest revelation about this interview is, that Vinland Saga is basically just the adult version of fucking Viky the Viking! :D The animated show was really popular in germany (probably central/northern europe in general) for decades and of course I watched it as a kid. I now see that many elements are really quite similiar.

[@Vulcano7965]

Also Yukimura being a fan of Andy Weir, no wonder people like his work!

[@ojastalgaonkar3000]

For me , whenever I read manga or watched anime , I'd always seen them take killing very lightly. My perspective is that killing someone, robs them of their future life , sending them into nothingness. I dont believe in heaven or hell, so you just end the conciousness. I always wanted to write a story partly about the weight of killing. Then I saw vinland saga, and it was the first I've seen that capitalizes on the idea

[@dogdjinn]

i hope you give writing a shot

[@andrecarvalho9144]

Completely agree! Most shows threat taking a life like it's no big deal or without consequences, specially with their protagonists. But seeing the main character realizing he was a terrible person in his youth despite trying to avenge his father death by killing a terrible person was amazing. I just love how Thorfinn starts to deal with the consequences of his time with Askelaad while tries to proves that he became a better person and a “true warrior".
