The Road Home... | Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 17 REACTION!

[@AlanaMisako]

i don't think i've cried so hard during an episode before. so incredibly heartbreaking :(

[@cmiucz]

It hurts so bad

[@justnoone5734]

Pretty sure you had when Askeladd died hun, haha.

[@Roronoa--D--Zoro]

This episode is so heavy. It has all kind of emotions

[@Tsukigami99]

I get teared up every time, I sware... yes, this show is trully heartbreaking.

[@bwaniful]

after watching this video, now it pains my heart again watching their tragic story 😢😢

[@Sock-so7jd]

No comments, let me fix that

[@maxojavierrojasurzua5746]

Considering that Yukimura is a father of three children, the father-son relationship is something constant and predominant in his series, seeing Gardar reunite with his son in the afterlife is a beautiful but a same time emotional thing to see. 😢

[@Ash_Wen-li]

I like the reversal. Yukimura has three children. Thorfinn has three fathers

@@leowankenobi6582 Who do you think was the man who searched for Thorfinn for dozens of years to save him and bring him home. Who was the man who helped Thorfinn so it would be possible to go to Vinland. No man has done more for Thorfinn than Leif Erikson. Not even his real father.

[@dh5363]

Yukimura is preparing his children with all these "dad killing" scenarios and how the kids turned out to be lol

[@GoatLuffy_97]

One of Vinland Saga's greatest episodes, and also one of its most heartbreaking. The anime original additions to this part of the manga were incredible. I wasn't just tearing up, I was weeping for Arnheid, Gardar, and Hjalti.

[@JulioVirrueta]

I'm sure someone must have already said this, but Miklagard is the Viking name for Constantinople, the Eastern Roman Emperor employed Vikings as part of his guard, the Varangians (so we may assume Snake was one of them). Something I love about this show... is that it does not give easy answers, violence is bad.... but what about defending the innocent or even yourself? what about your friends and comrades, what is the value of their life? how to be peaceful in a violent world?

[@grey_f98]

I think you stopped your description too soon, not just the value of the lives of your friends and comrades, but this show also asks you to consider the life of the "enemy." Are Snake's men truly your enemy? Garder doesn't deserve to die, but are the lives of the people he killed less valuable because they aren't our friend? What could Snake have done to protect his comrade's lives? Questions like these make it even more complicated, because otherwise everyone would just choose the lives of their friends at the expense of other people's lives, and that only continues the cycle. What Thorfinn was forced to contemplate was to consider the lives of both Garder as well as the ones Garder killed, and this is why he could not "avenge" Garder by killing Snake. That wouldn't solve anything, but doing nothing by being a pacifist doesn't save anyone's life either (neither Garder nor Snake's men), so the question goes unanswered for now. Thorfinn is yet not a true warrior. (also I really hope they make an OVA for Snake's back story some day)

[@Roy-ml5fn]

The answer is that there is no answer. Everyone will never be satisfied with one absolute truth. That is what makes the human “being”

[@oe_woo]

This episode has made me cry at least 50 times now 🥲

"For honor and wealth".. You don't know what you've missed until it's gone. I love this episode and this show for all the lessons you can learn from it. "Carve it"

[@santiagotorres7296]

"Sorry for talking down on you from up here". What an incredible and subtle display of character. Incredible writing.

[@FeastForThought]

No matter how often I watch this episode it gets me everytime, this show made me care for characters so intensively in 3 episodes which others don't manage in 24 or more lol

[@JustNardo]

The piano goes hard this episode... But yeah such a beautiful yet tragic episode. It still gets me teary eyed watching it... I feel bad for Gardar, but ESPECIALLY Arnheid. She was caught up in this storm that she had no agency in. Her entire situation was dictated by the choices of Gardar, Ketil, and the slavers who captured her. All she did was dream of a possible future with her husband again and this is how things turn out. So sad.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I hate piano, can make any moment sad just by adding a piano.

[@holdupsomethingaintright7919]

I play the piano, but the moment I watched this episode I somehow felt some sort of rage towards the instrument. I hate the way they played it at that scene, it made me feel so sad.

[@iftie6]

Best part is that he was finally be able to meet his son(In afterlife I mean)

[@vikasrajminj306]

We just cry in season 2, cry when they are happy, cry when they are sad n cry when nothings happening really... just seeing Thorfinn smile is a tear-jerker.

[@anyonecansee8938]

Yeahh so true

[@SohhamJeet]

Honestly, the ending song hits more painfully after watching this episode than usual. I wonder how a beautifully crafted sequence with sublime surrounding becomes so much heart-wrenching to watch, after realising the context of the sequence? Like Violet Evergarden and Maquia: When The Promised Flower Blooms, this episode of Vinland Saga perfectly brings out the underlying tragedy through a magnificent sequence, which I think is the greatest aspect of this series as well. After watching this episode, I realized that I was really grateful to be able to watch Vinland Saga. Also, I am really grateful that I felt the same emotion you felt watching this episode for the first time, when I watched this episode.

[@aykan5621]

Vinland Saga make me cry like no other show. Also is very sad when you came into realization that his son was already dead waiting for him 😭

[@andrewkeshan8649]

I don't think I've ever cried like this to another show. This episode really hit me in an emotional way like no other

[@Automatedresponsebot5]

Arnheids entire life was suffering. One slave of millions, one slave and an adjacent insight of their life via Thorfinn

[@depressobear]

ah man. it's that episode. what makes this hurt even more is that you can't get mad at anyone. it was just a clusterfruck of misfortune for everyone involved.

[@Kdubb815]

This episode is another masterpiece in a perfect season. The music, the characters, the messages. Ugh I love it. When Arnheid is crying and it transitions from her tears landing on Gardar’s face to the rain falling on him is so good. The storytelling in this is absolutely beautiful.

[@derickvillalobos9385]

I hate and love Tearland Saga, so much pain, but that's the best part, amazing lessons and philosophical questions, well deserved being one of the big 3 of seinen.

[@gavinchamploo]

The transition from Arnhieds tears on his face to it becoming rain on his face

[@ulf7279]

i dont think i ever not tear up when watching a reaction to this episode, just so heartbreakig.. one of the many loving families that deserved better.

[@DeadMuzan]

“I hope they protect her” is crazy to hear lol jeeez.

[@CaffieneKitty]

Vinland Saga is a show where you need to stay hydrated, keep your tissues handy, and kiss your makeup goodbye.

[@FullHeart_Art]

The line that always hits me the hardest here is "One day I'm sure he'll want to go [viking], but I won't let him." Gardar had a lot in common with all the major men of this series - Thors, Thorfinn, Askeladd, and Einar. Like Einar he had everything taken from him. Like Thors and Thorfinn he may have eventually sworn off violence if he'd had the time to process it all. But he ended up dying and like Askeladd his passing gift was saying "I dont want my son to follow my path" just like Askeladd told his "son" Thorfinn "don't follow me. Go be a true warrior"

[@mannuaguilar2400]

So sad but beautiful episode

[@markfuensalida1735]

I watched this 20x more and still cry, the story the music everything so fine.

[@Jorg9406]

This show is just a masterpiece

[@marvinmendoza1101]

En vez de decir "No lo dejare ir de Aventuras" en realidad dice "No lo dejare ser un Vikingo" lo cual tiene más sentido, pues para la época, todos los padres querían que sus hijos fueran fuertes y temibles Vikingos, pero Gardar ya vivió las consecuencias de haber sido uno, por eso esa línea tiene más peso con la traducción adecuada, Gardar solo quería estar al lado de su hijo el mayor tiempo de su vida, pero para entonces, ya fue demasiado tarde

[@eyisalriv6000]

yep, las traducciones que vi en netflix vs las de crunchy cambian dramaticamente el significado de las cosas que se dicen en la serie

[@GrowingDownUnder]

The episode that break me and made grown men cry, I love watching other people react to this episode sometimes I even get angry if other people don't cry at this episode.

[@Jason-to5cs]

Alana I’m sorry this episode hurt you just as much as it hurt me lol. I’ve still not rewatched it since it aired. But man. One of the most emotional episodes of anime ever made. I can say that with zero hesitation.

[@markuman01]

The rest of the episode are incredible but for my shounen blood and love fighting manga i had to admit that the fight between two skilled men and full of respect is one of the best fight for sure, even though its short.

[@johnmichaelgiong-an7724]

The saddest point of this episode is that this wasn't only occured to Gardar and Arnheid but it is also happening to other countless families.

[@dh5363]

We met Gardar for 4 or 5 episodes and felt more for him than most main characters from other shows

[@ulyssonlongakit2425]

I do feel that snakes actions were a bit rash but i wouldnt say it was unwarented. In my opinion i feel like people immediately antagonise snake for his decision without seeing through his perspective. Yes, the people that gardar killed were bad people but snake probably knew them more than we did so we cant really judge him for his rash decision. Was it rash? Yeh. Was it understandable also yeh. -Random Yapper

[@juangodpain7233]

Anime of the years

[@ryanpalyo8181]

As far as Snake killing Gardar goes, I believe he did the right thing (from his side). I know after seeing this whole series be for Thorfinn to grow out of his revenge motivated state, killing in revenge for killing, that it seems to not make sense. But from how I see it, Snake's men were just doing their jobs by tracking down Gardar, an escaped slave who had killed some people nearby and might be on their land. Once they did, one of his men died as a result, and once Gardar was captured he escaped after killing more, for a total of five of Snake's men. At the end of the day, in Snake's eyes he was killing a criminal that had killed a family, and then killed some of his men while they were doing their jobs. As he said, Snake's men might be crude and not great people, but they're all he had for a long time, and had been through a lot together. Basically his family too. So when asking Arnheid and Thorfinn how much a life is worth, neither could justify why their family member was worth more in general than 5 of Snake's. I don't think he was doing it to feel satisfied with revenge like Thorfinn was, but was finishing the job that needed done. Overall just a tragic situation. Also cannot wait to see the Ketil hatred starting in full effect next episode.

[@alexandre588]

Agree, Gardar is unhinged and a danger, from the security of the farm and its workers standpoint it is a no-brainer that he had to go

[@khaalmalki4039]

@@alexandre588 He wasn't. He was the mot sane. Snake was willing to let Ketil beat Arnheid to death. He is not the moral authority on anything. Basically they killed Gardar and allowed a mother and her child to die.

[@alexandre588]

@@khaalmalki4039 Try to see the situation from the point view of Snake or any of his men, who are basically the policemen of Ketil's farm. There is a runaway murderer roaming the farm, that is all the information they had. They tried to capture him, and he killed them. At this point Snake and the other men had no choice but to stop him by any means. I don't see how this is a contentious point. "One of these people working under Snake also tried to rape Arnheid and Ketil did nothing to him." Both of them are trash but this is irrelevant to the Gardar situation

Sooo beautiful and deep emotional….. Peak episode 😭🥹❤ Gulzal was a good man who was definitely kind to his wife and son. But he was too arrogant and stupid. His mistake was that he never considered the risk of defeat. He didn't understand the priorities of what he needed to protect. He died filled with regret to the end. In the end, just before he died, he realized that his family was more important than his fame and fortune. But it was all too late. Also, the conversation between Thorfinn and Snake has a very deep meaning. In other words, about the difference in the value of life.

Alana heard what Snake was saying but she didn't listen to him, of course, this was an ugly situation in which no one would've won but to expect Snake to act like Gardar didn't kill his men and just let him go would be really unfair to him. Someone else also said it but this is one of the many beautiful things about Vinlad, it doesn't give you answers... Who is in the wrong here? Snake for wanting to avenge his comrades or Thorfinn for wanting Snake to let him walk like nothing happened? This is not only the story of Thorfinn, everyone has their own path and their own reasons to act. I don't want this to come as something it isn't, I just think it's fair to look at everyone's perspective before jumping to conclusions.
