05:20 this is a very amazing foreshadowing of Askeladd's actual ambition as a person. He wanted to have some strong figure to lead him and everyone, but then he noticed from Thors's look that he denied his offer and then just said it was a joke to not lose face. The author of vinland is really something else
@awsomesaucers97 Жыл бұрын
That's such a rad interpretation, I thought the same thing. I then also thought, what is Askeladd isn't saying that as an offer of leadership to Thors, but rather asking, "Why don't you simply take leadership of us, since you can?" I'm not sure which is right, but the emotional interpretations for Askeladd as a character are interesting

If anyone could take the mantle of Artorius. It would’ve been Thors for sure. I could only imagine how amazing it would’ve been if he took Askeladd’s offer and became the leader. He probably would’ve gone to Jomborg to face Floki, and then end up reluctantly taking the leadership roll of the Jomsvikings. The entire story would’ve gone in a different path just from that one choice. He could’ve become chief of Jomsborg and taught them all to be true warriors.

At first when I heard the line "a true warrior doesn't need a sword", I got goosebumps. I thought he meant the a true warrior is one who is such a master at combat that they don't need any tool like a sword to win. Their body and mind are enough. But after reading the Ketil Farm arc (in the manga), I truly understand what he meant. He meant that a true warrior of the world doesn't need to hurt anyone, doesn't have any "enemies". A true warrior can see the good in others and strives to save everyone. A true warrior always takes the first resort (the last resort being always that of violence). And for that, they doesn't need a sword.

A little trivia for you. The name "Askeladd" is taken from an ancient Norwegian fairy tale about a boy named Espen "Askeladd", meaning quite literally "ash lad" or "a boy of ash", a name his two brothers Per and Pål gave to him because all he did was "sit by the fireplace, digging in the ash" while they were out hunting and foraging. There are several tales starring him and his adventures, the most prominent being his discovery of a giant troll living in a mountain nearby. In that tale, Espen Askeladd challenged the troll to an eating contest for his life and tricked the troll into cutting open his own stomach and, soon as the giant was dead, Espen stole all his gold and treasure and returned home, rich as a king. The tales sometimes have different characters and usually serve as an inspirational tale for discovery and adventure and that using your head is much more than brute strength and his nickname has become synonymous with trickery and deception in Norway. Askeladd's battle with Thors, who was known as the Troll of Jom, seems to me to be a direct reference to the tale mentioned above.

What I love about this scene is that Askeladd realizes that Thors is trying to break his sword, so he decides to turn that around on Thors, by allowing him to strike his armor, gambling on the sword breaking instead of killing him... just to find out that this was Thors' intention all along. It's a great way to show (not tell) that Thors was literaly 2 steps ahead of Askeladd. Outwitting Askeladd is no small feat either, dude's as cunning as a fox, but Thors understanding of strategy is far beyond even Askeladd's reaches.

Askeladd hated the Norse and glorification of violence. Thors was the first Norseman he met that repudiated violence and even went so far as to throw away his weapon and sacrifice his life to protect those he cared about, which clearly struck a chord with Askeladd. So some snot-nosed Norse brat charging him and risking ruining that sacrifice for a cheap shot at revenge pissed Askeladd off like nothing else.

In this scene Askeladd was serious about asking Thor’s to be their leader he sees the same thing in his eyes that he did in Canutes
@JS-kb4bk4 жыл бұрын
No, Askleladd saw Canute as a king and true warrior, someone who fights with words so there isn't a need for battle/draw swords. Askeladd only admired Thors, he never saw him as a king. You have to remember at this point Askeladd is tired and looking to pass off his role, so he could die with the knowledge that he tried. He would never follow Thors, though the anime doesn't really make that clear.

I love how the line "a true warrior doesn't need a sword" also fits with the philosophy of The Art of War, because Sun Tzu believes that a general must resort to violence as the last resort. Thors was forced to resort to violence because he has no choice, but he believes that there is always another option that's why he thinks he's incomplete as a true warrior. Peace is always an option.

I sure am glad to see an anime accurately depicting how fragile swords are. Most anime have swords you'd think are made of adamantium. Swords break quite easily if you abuse them and if not they sure lose their edge quickly if you keep hitting steel or stone.
@emmanuela75282 жыл бұрын
Yeah. Also spotted that with Thorkell's axes, with a lot of the pirates: the edges are chipped. You'll also see it in Sword of the Stranger (chipped edges after repeated clashes), and Samurai Champloo (the swordsmen make an effort to dodge instead of clashing blades to protect their swords).

"A True Warrior, Needs No Blade." "You Have No Enemies. No One In The World Is Your Enemy. There Is No One You Need To Hurt." After reading that in the Manga, I felt a spiritual awakening of some kind. Now, at first you'd just think Thors would be saying that because a True Warrior would be able to take down lots of warriors, or everyone without needing a blade. But upon reading that for the first time, I immediately interpreted his line as this: A True Warrior fights for peace. Any warrior can say they do, but a True Warrior doesn't kill others in the name of peace, he fights for peace with peace itself. Violence is not the first answer for every situation, nor is killing them. Thors see's a True Warrior as someone who avoids the lust for blood and violence for the sake of peace. They understand the pain one goes through after causing so much death, and how little they gain from it. He realized that killing in the name of "Peace" only brings more war. A True Warrior doesn't exactly have enemies in the world, and Thors realized this after killing several people without an actual reason besides "Honor and Glory". He realized that there are other reasons to live and fight for, not just senseless killing and preaching it's for Honor or Glory or even Peace. After naming Ylva, he realized that fighting for ones you loved most is a much more beautiful reason, as it does not necessarily need you to harm people. Keeping those you loved safe without needing to fight can be called "Cowardice", but Thors realized it didn't really matter. Honor or not, if those he loved were to die, what would Thors actually be able to fight for? I like to think that's why he found killing pointless. He understood what the other side may feel if he happened to kill the ones they loved. People follow by example. If one were to fight wars without a blade, nor killing people and become victorious, would a follower not want to be as strong willed and capable, as well as feeling more inclined to the ideals/beliefs from said Warrior? This can probably be interpreted as something else, but this is my view of it. Now when Askeladd asked if Thors wanted to be their leader, I feel like he actually meant it. After learning his backstory, it becomes more apparent that Askeladd went down his own path of redemption and realized how little of a "True Warrior" he could be when compared to his Ancestors. Although he didn't stray from the path of killing, he knew what a True Warrior was. Perhaps upon seeing how Thors is strong, but as well as kindhearted despite the odds, it takes not only a strong will and strength to be such a Warrior, but that he was simply fighting to protect what he loved. Later in the story, Askeladd talks about how he wanted to protect his home from the King. Even if it's years later, him meeting Thors was probably the reason why he did something that seemed a bit uncharacteristic in the end of his life. I thought he was just a scumbag, but even I understood why he killed the King. He just didn't want them to wage war on his home that he loved. He even states that Thors was more valuable than even 100 of brats like Ari at the time. He respected and maybe even saw Thors vision of what a True Warrior is, since he too saw it once, but never followed that path only. This is my main reason why Vinland Saga and Vagabond are undoubtedly amazing pieces of media in my eyes. They don't have twists and turns like some stories or Dragonball explosive fights/hype building, but it sends a simple message about what it means to be Human through beautiful drawings. That in itself is something a lot of people tend to forget. Anyways, it's a great show and manga. Definitely give it a shot, as well as Vagabond.

I like how subtle movements in their face implies that they acknowledge each other as a respectable and honorable person. Its noticeable how Thors kinda gave Askeladd the sign that he's gonna give his life in exchange for the withdrawal of his troops. Due to war experience; he probably already knew about the archers. Askeladd acknowledges this deal with great respect and instead of swearing by his father's name, he swears by Artorious' name. Amazing detail holy crapioli. (idk if im overthinking this but in 2:08, the scene kinda looks like Askeladd doesnt care about his crew's cheers. strongly suggesting that Askeladd hates his crew and is actually serious about a battle for once. i mean he actually hated them but still.)
