Perhaps he can then tell me what makes a true warrior. Will he understand? How many men did his father have to kill before he learned what it means to be a TRUE warrior? I wonder what taught him? Perhaps it was bc he was so strong, he didn't need to ever worry about the fight, so while fighting, he would meditate and contemplate like a zen master. It's an odd twist on Vikings and viking culture because viking media usually depicts all vikings as cool with war and vikings are never that sad to die by the sword because that's their ultimate goal. They only wish to earn a place at teh feast before they arrive. But if a great warrior kills them in a great battle, they're happy to die. Vinland Saga has that. But then the greatest warrior, the best among all those amazing warriors, is a pacifist. He's able to easily subdue a ship full of experienced norse mercs without killing or maiming any. He only seemed to try with the Underboss and the Boss.

Snake managed to "train" even by fighting Gardar, Thorfinn remained more like "in shape" thanks to the hard work and strict diet. One thing is for sure though: both had no idea how the other one fought. Snake couldn't understand how Thorfinn fought because of his unusual weapon choice that shaped his fighting style, going as far as to almost panic because of how brutal he was with just fists and kicks. Thorfinn couldn't understand how Snake fought because of his curved sword, even going to say that he was faster than anyone he had ever faced and eventually even end up losing to him.

Snake speeds up his thrusts on his sword to get Thorfinn to focus on that drawing attention away from his kick. Amazing

It was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire- the Eastern surviving half of the Roman Empire after the Western half collapsed in 476 AD. It was founded by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD. It was a unique city in the Middle Ages because it was one of the last great European cities that preserved ancient architecture, arts and culture (although that can be said for the Eastern Roman Empire as a whole tbh). It had well preserved and maintained ancient Roman architecture such as collosi, statues, fountains, Roman triumphal arches, triumphal columns, Forums, well preserved aqueducts- in fact Constantinople's aqueduct (Aqueduct of Valens) was the longest one built by the Romans, ancient Pagan temples converted to monuments, Basilicas, Roman roads, hippodrome, theatres, Roman baths, gymnasiums, sewers etc. It was a very huge and wealthy city as it controlled all the trade flowing between Europe and Asia due to its location. It was also defended by its famous triple walls- the last great fortification of antiquity- which made it impenetrable. It also had an immense number of people reaching 800,000 at its peak at a time when the largest Western European cities couldn't support more than 40,000 people. This is why the Vikings called it "Miklagard" aka "the Great City" and they thought all the wealth in the world came from it. Another fun tidbit is that they launched multiple invasions of it, including one by sea which was crushed by the Roman navy and its famous Fire ships- ships that could eject a napalm like substance from their bows that could burn even in water. The eastern vikings and Roman fought numerous conflicts ranging from minor skirmishes to open wars until the reign of Emperor Basil the Bulgarslayer who formed a marriage alliance with them leading to the Christianisation of Eastern Vikings and them serving as the personal Guard of the Roman Emperor known as Varangian Guard.

Small correction- he is using a Paramerion, not a Spathion. A Spatha is a long, straight blade and it was more common of the two in the Roman army at the time, having been in use by the Imperial Army for nearly a thousand years by that point. Meanwhile, the Paramerion was a more recent addition probably inspired by the curved blades used by the Empire's steppe Cuman and Pecheneg mercenaries. It was also less common and probably used mostly by officers based on personal preference.

-Gardar, no, you'll kill him! -Yeah, that's the point

One of the interesting things about Vinland Saga is that, since it's based on history, you can get a sense of characters' backgrounds based on real life lore. For example, we know how strong Thorfinn is because we see Thorfinn fighting a lot throughout the series. We only see Snake fighting seriously once, but if you know your history, you know that his reputation puts him on a higher level than literally anyone else in the series -- "Miklagard" was the viking name for Constantinople, and the imperial guard of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Varangian Guard, used northern foreigners instead of local Greeks and Romans. They did this because the old Praetorian Guard was made up of Roman nobles with political interests, causing them to murder emperors as often as defend them -- foreigners are more reliably loyal to their employer. And, of course, they didn't just want random nobodies from foreign lands to guard them -- they wanted the best of the best of the best, so they recruited from the culture that produced the strongest warriors, the vikings, and they scouted out the best of the vikings to be guardsmen. Snake wasn't a general who had armies to fight for him, nor was he merely a king's retainer -- he was the guy that EMPERORS trusted with their lives. No wonder he stomps Jomsvikings so easily. We don't get to see him in action as much as Askeladd, Thorfinn, or Thorkel, but based on real history alone, his past puts him above all of them.

Though you do highlight something that I feel I didn't make clear enough in my initial comment -- Snake having such a reputation does not inherently place him above everyone else, it only means that the group he was part of had a much higher baseline expectation of its members than any other group in the series.

With all respect to the fight, but the ending just hits so hard man, I couldn't but cry. You have a wife and a child, you decide to go to war in order to fight for your ground, meanwhile your village is burned and raided, as a result your child is killed and wife is taken as a slave for the rest of her life, with the harsh reality that she is only used for sex, work, and giving birth to somebody that means nothing to her. You lost absolutely everything, fucking everything, at the cost of what??? fuck man, it hits so hard.

I totally agree, Arnheid story destroyed me, I don´t have a wife or a child, but I could pretty much emphasize with her situation and the shit she went through - noone should experience it. And after a trauma and probably seeing your child murdered in front of you and being dragged to slavery, her wounds were opened again when she saw her husband, and again, she had to make peace that they will execute him soon....then, when tending to his wounds, he asked about their kid thinking he still lives - that is too much to bare how could anyone deal with something like that... It´s few days after I finished the second season, and her story still haunts me. She may not be real, but how many stories like that actually happened in human history....

the end of gardar never fails to break me :((

To be honest, it shows that Thorfinn still isn’t that level headed or experienced in these types of situations yet. He’s previously only fought for himself in countless battlefields with swarms of enemies. Situations where he only needed to fend for himself and slay as many people as he could. Whereas the implication that Snake wasn’t just an excellent soldier on the battlefield but also a part of the Varangian Guard which protected the Byzantine Emperor, shows why he seems more experienced in not just taking down his opponent but winning the situation.

​@@LastsBobaTeaYes. Exactly. It was clear Thorfinn's body reacted to save himself since his agility can afford him to fight the most skilled vikings but he forgot his goal was to keep Snake away from the carriage. Meanwhile, Snake has performed feint attacks and even in his mind he accepts he cannot kill Thorfinn easily so he settles by having to kill Gardar directly.

Who would the smartest be? Thorfinn himself?

You got to love the discussion about who is stronger and how many fanboy around Thorfinn. Which is understandable since we only saw his world. We can only compare him to the monsters we've seen: Thorkell, Thors and Askeladd - who were all also very different fighters. Since the Vinland-Saga is based on the real world history of the early Viking-Age, we also may fantasize about all the other monsters out there. Snake, for example, is a Varangian Veteran. Those guys were a chosen elite to protect the most mightiest man in the european hemisphere: the byzantian emperor, who ruled over an incredible well developed realm. So: Snake is a masterswordsmann, at least on par with Askeladd in this regard. He is a veteran of many battles in which the objective was not to simply kill but to protect the royal family while at it and taking comand of the troops - meaning: he is also a very skilled tactician and strategist. Or at least worked with people who were. Imagine the ones, who are still in his service.

This fight showed us just how strong thorfinn actually is and his character development as well.

The spinning back kick into roundhouse was so clean.

Bro why is everyone in the comments treating it like it’s some power fantasy shonen, that’s like the opposite of the arc

this season 2 arc was so emotional, very sadly arc i ever seens. all character season 2 did very goodjob role

In that last swing, Snake through eye contact knew where thorfinn is going to jump so he just scared him and didn't intend to fatally wound him. His goal is done, he is next to Gardar.

1:38 I love how they animated that part, it really emphasizes the fact that Thorfinn hasn't trained in years, he's very rusty.

"What kind of monsters surrounded him" Vinland saga season 1 in a nutshell

If Snake ever met Thors he would instantly respect him, he only came to the ketil farm was cause he knew the real Iron Fist, turns out that ketil just had the same name. But His father Sverkel talks like he knows exactly what he’s talking about when talking to Snake, he has swords and spears on his walls . He might’ve just been the real Iron fist who changed his life like Thors. Or maybe he’s just a smart farmer 😂😂

I'd say more like a declawed big cat. In a scrap against a bigger opponent, cats HAVE to rely on agility because they fundamentally don't have to tools to overcome raw power. Big cats on the other hand still have heft and strong muscles. When you think about it, physical power is what lions use to overwhelm their prey, they use their claws to latch on, but most of their kill count can be attributed to crushing the windpipe of their prey with their fangs Thorfinn maintains his power but has learned to fill his soul with things other than revenge. Battles are more challenging without a weapon, but in the long game, victory is won by using your head Askeladd was able to beat Thorfinn without a weapon and did so to shine a light on such principles. When you think about it, this is what beat the mighty Thorkell (twice over in fact) He was frustrated because Thors was stronger than him, but couldn't quite grasp until much later the vice that Thors was working with Instead of straight contests and fights to the death, Thors learned how to reserve his strength for pivotal moments and maintain that strength over time despite not having endless opponents to overcome. That requires commitment and a sound mind

This fight was a good way to show Thorfinn taking a step forward. He might not be there completely but he took a step

It’s so interested how different parts of thorfinn’s psyche are represented by either Askeladd or Thors.

Fantastic scene and episode in every way. I got to say though, I love the English VA of Askeladd and missed hearing it in this clip.

Askeladd siempre le dijo a Thorfinn una cosa: Thorfinn pelea bien, pero en el momento que la ira se apodera de él, se termina todo. A los lectores del manga les gusta pensar como el Thorfinn que vimos en el prólogo como la version más fuerte de todas, cuando es precisamente lo contrario: Thorfinn sin ser esclavo de la ira, es mas fuerte ahora de lo que nunca lo ha sido con ella.

Two strong men acknowledging each other, what a sight

One of the best parts of season 2. When they are both equally shocked how good the other one is.

3:03 This moment has conveyed something strange yet undeniably real. It suggests that possessing skills don't guarantee the quality of life you will have. Regardless of whether you have talent or not, leading a good life still depends on luck, which is not governed by your will.

So badass how they recognize the strength of each other.

It's crazy how snake had to dodge thorfins fists like his life depends on it...

They say season 3 will be even better than the previous seasons. Can't wait

I don’t know what it is about when he takes his signature stance that instantly catapulted this scene into my top 20 anime scenes but it just gets it bro
