      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.

      @goodgrief6721 I think both are equally rusty, Thorfinn definitely more.
      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.

    Fighting with daggers really paid off for Thorfinn because it helped him develop the agility and experience needed to close distance and fight people with a longer weapon or reach advantage, So now even when he's fighting completely unarmed he's not totally screwed and knows how to maneuver. This also shows that he's becoming more like his father who was able to easily dispatch hordes of warriors without using a sword

      Yeah also daggers were not a very popular main weapon choice for viking warriors, so his opponents probably weren't used to fight against this type of style. A lot of what makes Thorfinn a great warrior is the element of suprise, he also doesn't have the typical bulky physique of viking warriors, he is very frequently underestimated and he makes it work to his benefit.

      But Snake is right. You presume that he would be hard to capture and sold, being a skilled warrior.

      Remember in season 1 when Thors knew right away who was the strongest, just by looking at Askeladd. Same goes to Askeladd who can see right through Thors.

      ​@@gamerstheater1187Constantinople- today known as Istanbul- is a European city, not middle Eastern. It is in Thrace. 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.

    "a warrior of miklagard" would seem like a throwaway line to an average joe but if you're keen, you would know that that implies snake was a former varangian guard - an elite unit employed by and personally loyal to the emperor of the byzantine/eastern empire. the fact that snake isn't actively using a typical spathion that the greeks of this period used as what normal varangians woudl have used but some sort of arabian saif would've meant snake has extensive experience with either as a sailing vikingr (which would explain his saif as sailing varangians are allowed to keep a portion of their loot in privateering) or attatched as part of the tagmata as hetairoi.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    2:13 bruh, Snake is probably Byzantine or maybe even a Varangian Guard. It would explain his purple tunic and curved sword (swords from other characters are straight and double-edged).
    Plus, he even said he is from Miklagard. That is what the Norse called the city of Constantinople.

    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 😂😂

    Those close quarters combat of thorfinn clearly showed that if he has his dagger snake would probably have a lot of bruises by the time thorfinn landed all his blows that is if he's armed with his dagger maybe the outcome will end in a different way.

      2:34 Definitely would be fatal, or at the very least incapacitate Snake. Snake never lands any hits before this. Thorfinn definitely would have won. Only question is that Snake does speed up near the very end. He might just start as fast as possible if he sees that Thorfinn is armed.

    • @ramblincapuchin9075
      @ramblincapuchin9075 Před rokem +7

      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

    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.

    The gross negligence of the 20 years olds in the comment section about Snake's real strength.... Just because Thorfinn punched him doesn't mean it was an automatic knife kill. A punch without a weapon is faster than a punch with a weapon. Plus your attention is far more focused on a weapon than on the hands. Just like how Snake sped up his attacks with the sword that distracted Thorfinn from the kick. Yeah Thorfinn would have won if he had his daggers, but a landslide victory is just being delusional.

    Was very surprised Snake survived being strangled for that long. Seemed like over a minute of oxygen deprivation to the brain. Was both happy and disappointed/confused to see him again. He'd have permanent brain damage being choked that long. Minor gripe though, the series was a masterpiece. Loved the farewell he had for Thorfinn and Einar at the end.
