Prepare for EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!

[@Atlas9766]

Intros nvr disappoint 🔥🔥🔥

[@OddManeuver]

I was confused at first when she said she was relieved, but it makes sense now. She was horribly scared of going to hell and not seeing her family in heaven for stealing the ring. However, after seeing true evil for the first time she’s relieved. She’s not a bad person (by comparison) and she still has a spot in heaven with her family. Also, you’re extremely close to spot on with “unconditional love”. I won’t spoil anything though.

[@zeli9079]

I love this episode because it really punches you right in the gut. It brings the viewer back for a reality check because we have gotten used to the Danes raiding and plundering. This episode slaps you right in the face and reminds you that Askeladd and his crew have done and still do horrific acts onto others.

ASKELADD DID NOTHING WRONG!!

[@King69Dog]

​​@@LuisSierra42 Nothing wrong??! He murder an entire villege . Don't understand me wrong. He's my favorite character in anime of all time . But you cant denie that he's a terrible man . People aren't full good nor full bad . We in the middle . The majority of people

[@spider-jeff_101]

6:10 Love how Carlie reached out to hold Ange’s hand and he was completely oblivious and she looks annoyed and gave up 😂

[@ngatasworld7294]

I was wondering why she made that noise at the time, wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out lolll Ange just like me watching the show intensely 😂

[@DarkMeister41]

I've always interpreted Anne surviving as her family going to heaven and her being left behind in "hell" that being earth.

[@markgregorygacosta531]

This was the episode which really made me realize: "oh damn this show isn't messing around."

[@LuisSierra42]

What about ep 6?

[@okuigokublack]

This episode really puts into perspective that the audience is following the villains.

[@TheAluvisify]

Technically they're "anti-villians", but, yeah, it really reminds everyone that they're still Vikings and they still do raiding, plundering, and massacreing.

[@okuigokublack]

@@TheAluvisify Everyone there except Thorfinn are villains without a doubt, excluding Canute, Ragnar and Willbald. But even they're responsible for doing nothing.

[@TheAluvisify]

@@okuigokublack I mean, my response isn't changing. They're still technically anti-villians.

[@okuigokublack]

@@TheAluvisify To me, the shading, lighting and dialogue made Askeladd's gang look villainous.

[@TheAluvisify]

@@okuigokublack Anti-villians are still often villianous in the same way that anti-heros are heroic. But the functions in the story are differnet.

[@dopehamin]

Yay for another Vinland Saga episode! 🎉

[@randalabra3852]

Willibald was so intrigued by them talking about Thors bc he seemed to closely resemble his idea of what a "selfless, unconditional LOVE" is, not bc he knows him

[@ertzler]

Lmao i thought he thought Thors was Jesus

[@dariohenriquez7773]

she doesn't feel less bad than the danes nor thinks her sin is less bad compared to askeladd. She came to realization that you could sin and live without fear of god, that maybe her place is hell, because she liked to sin (when she stole the ring), this excitement is because she feels free of the burden of god's jugdgement. obviously this is a reaction of shock, and surely she deeply cares about her family

[@Little-Dude]

Great reading of the scene and I think you're right. She admits in the scene herself that she knows God "won't be calling her there" with her family. She's equating her elation of stealing the ring with realizing evil men exist. To me, it doesn't sound like she's elated because she feels like she has a chance to get into heaven now.

[@abishekabishek6421]

In manga she said "My heart is pounding"

[@MaximSupernov]

Askeladd is pronounced Ashe-lad in old Norse. That's why Japanese VA is pronouncing this way.

[@iremainteague5653]

Welcome back to Vinland! Woo!!! 🥳🥳

[@vagoerrante]

I'm pretty sure most of the important characters like Canute, Thorfinn and Thorkell really existed, but Askeladd for example was a creation of the author

[@stewart1555]

I think the girl felt "elated", because stealing the ring was a big rush for her and the guilt was eating at her, but seeing the Danes massacre without hesitation opened up her world (it's not so small).

[@lcasiano8759]

The priest thought Thors was a reincarnated Jesus based on what he heard from the brothers

[@GavinFox2028]

Been waiting for this 😊❤

[@jety7502]

I would say that Askeladd is less after revenge and more so wants to secure the future on Wales because of his mother and he is simply willing to do anything to achieve this.

[@thorkagemob1297]

Really great discussion 👍

[@harshitjuneja7383]

dont know if the ring stolen by her was a blessing to her to get a chance to live or a curse for her to live with this pain of losing her family.

[@williamcole553]

So glad y'all are back, didnt feel the same without my mates fr!

[@TS10852]

This is really the turning point in the story.

[@adizcool2-655]

Easily my favourite episode of this series. I think the elated dialouge is because she realized that she is a good person when compared to the Danes who killed her village. When presented with such evil people, she realized that Hell was reserved for people like them. Her punishment for stealing the ring was to stay in this hell with them, but she could meet her family in heaven after her death. Which is why I think she tried to commit suicide at the end, but failed.

[@thepowerofsand6180]

I wasn't really hooked on Vinland Saga until this episode, but after this episode the show doesn't have a bad/mid episode

[@LuisSierra42]

Nope, it picks up quite considerable which is also something that happens with s2

[@toastedtony4210]

One of my favorite reactors watching one of my favorite animes ever 😁

[@vzgamer5738]

you are getting the point

[@raisttlyn]

Really reminds you things were different then.

[@chrish8111]

One of the most haunting episodes. Fuck askeladd, even if he has charisma.

@@adrianp1725 Yea, and I would have to hunt down every single person that took part in the slaughter. Thorfinns dad didnt have to be ambushed either.

[@adrianp1725]

@@chrish8111 bro…it’s just an anime. Also remember what time period we’re in and the culture of Vikings. You don’t survive by being soft.

[@BrandonBarnwell]

as far as historical accuracy goes, the side characters like lief, king swein, cannute, harrold are based on real people, along with some of the settings being historical, like the viking attack on london bridge, where both the english and the danes vaguely mention a particularly strong person unammed person on the battlefield, which vinland saga portrays as thorkel, who isnt a real historical person. pretty much all the main characters in vinland saga, thorfin, askeladd, thors, thorkel, etc. arent real people, so they can have the freedom to write the story as they like, while loosely injecting them into historical events

[@Un1234l]

Apparently Thorfinn existed. Thorfinn Karlsefni. One of the first European settlers of the New World.

[@TryingExtraHard]

Thorfinn is a real person, we just know nearly nothing about his actual childhood because the Sagas don't really contain a whole lot of information about children. Yukimura still gets to make up a lot of stuff for Thorfinn, but towards the end of the story we get into stuff described by the Sagas.

[@viethoangtrantrinh6519]

GOSH I MISSED ANGE"S OP

[@deeann17]

She is relieved that she is not as bad of a person, that there are worse people out there.

[@kpax598]

I think she said she felt elated cause she blames god for her families death and she’s happy that there are people who defy god

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

I don't think she's that evil of a person.

[@Aryan-zc1eo]

You guys should react to your name It is a masterpiece

[@TidalGrave]

You probably caught it by now but she says shes elated because she feels less bad about stealing a little ring after seeing such evil people, like there's no way I'm going to hell if people like that exist too

[@user-lr6hw4dq4t]

Historical account from nordic people in midieval is not as good as other historical account, they consist of sagas, engraph, and oral traditionsm. hence the writer fills the gap from existing saga

i have missed this so much =) imo, the girl felt elated since now she saw true evil - compared to that, stealing a ring is like nothing

[@Ash_Wen-li]

My only complaint with this episode is that it didn't shown Thorfinn. Even just a quick shot of him watching could have added so much more later down the line

[@goodguysolid6398]

@@LuisSierra42 Might be that the series has major copyright issues or just that they want to attract people to their patreon I'd guess the latter. I just ended my subscription n didn't know it was exclusive on patreon so that's sad.
