@@barbozo Whilst that Vinland Saga was great, the story has evolved to be about Thorfinn and pacifism. I miss it too but I also appreciate what we have now
for people who will say Thorfinn became a coward, no, he just did what his ancestors did, they ran away from the war, that's what Thors did in the first episode, he ran away from the war, and let's be honest, it's not out of fear that he ran away, as Thorfinn told Canute "I run away, for my sake, and for yours"
I mean it'd only been 4 years since Thorfinn was his body guard. I'd imagine with how soft canute was back then that he'd probably have had a good few laughs prior but yee
When they first met, Canute wouldn't talk to anyone except his aide. The longer time he spent with Thorfinn (and the more Thorfinn annoyed him), Thorfinn became the other only person Canute would share his thoughts with. Years later, nothing has changed. Canute still doesn't speak his true mind nor act his true self around people. No one except Thorfinn.
It was so anticlimactic that he couldn't help but laugh. Lol. Good to see him still have a sense of reasoning within him to let them go like that. Man, I love this anime so much.
I mean, yeah, it's obvious. Not sure what made it seem like I thought Canute was loving what he was doing when that would literally be out of character for him. Just because I'm glad he's not out of his mind? Sheesh.
I watched it with my grandfather, he cried at Arnheid's death, he remembered my grandmother, and he gave me some speeches about the war that his father told him, an incredible experience...
@Impastolabusta that's not the point though. The idea is that it's rare for all options to REALLY be exhausted before violence. And walking away is indeed one of those options.
Canute laughing at Thorfinn’s “plan” makes light of the fact that his plan was basically “Just say no. Legally he can’t take the farm without consent.”
Nah, literally it was just "could you please not take the farm." after being threatened he said he wont fight, he will run and make a place for refuge. It's a bit more complicated but Thorfinn shows resolve in his solution, a certain strength. It makes it more peaceful. It takes off weight from the two, and Canute understood that.
"So you walk up to him, look him in the eyes and say 'please don't take over this farm'" "And that'll work?" "He'd have to be awfully evil if it didn't"
More like it makes you feel as if you're strong enough to overcome your problems, making them feel as if they're not there. We need to wield the fleeting emotion and take action before it disappears.
Canute was neither shy, nor deceptive, nor even regal. He was just having a good time talking to someone he sees as a friend and who he hoped would understand his reasoning. In the end, they realised they have a similar goal but are trying to get there via different roads.
The thing to note is the fact that Canute isnt laughing at Thorfinn but laughing at this whole situation they found themselves in. He’s been in so many battles at this point that the fact that this whole situation is gonna end like this is hilarious
It hits harder when you realize that this is how Canute *wishes* it could be. Just as simple as telling others there's no reason to fight, and that peace can be the best option for everyone. No bargaining, no threats, no leverage, just understanding. Canute obviously hates the methods he has to use to achieve peace but he truly believes to do so any other way would be doomed. And yet, here's the man from his past doing exactly what he wishes he could. It's hilarious in a very, very sad way.
The ending of this arc was like of some Christopher Nolan movie. This episode was the personification of beautiful. Vinland saga breaking rules of anime in season one by not letting Thorfinn take revenge and in this season by ending conflict with peace talk.
@@barbozo Not returning. Vinland Saga will barely have any action scenes after this arc. Because, as you seem to not have guessed it... it's a series about making peace and rejecting war...
Crazy how the farm arc started in freezing cold of January and is now ending the warm and wonderful month of June. Almost representing thorfinns character development. Some COLD and distant having trouble trying to grow, but now WARM and caring for others who has grown and bloomed into a warrior his father and askeladd would be proud of.
I feel like Canute... needed to hear this from another person. He had become so used to people only trying to bargain with him or fight him for whatever their reasons or intentions were, that he was just in total shock and awe at this whole exchange. Seeing Thorfinn again after so long, seeing how he had managed to change for the better, despite how he used to be... he _needed_ this; the fact that it came from Thorfinn making it all the more potent. It was such a breath of fresh air to him. And seeing Canute finally smile and laugh, just like Thorfinn was finally able to... it hit me so hard. Shed tears several times during this episode. Just... beautiful writing, through and through. I can't praise this season enough.
When he laughed, I remembered why I loved him so much. I could see a glimpse of what he was before carrying the weight of the crown. It was so refreshing, I was so happy…
I'm glad he saw thorfinns intentions was never to deceive him... It must have been like a breath of fresh air to have someone whose motives are genuine for him.
This was by far my favorite episode so far. Wish that everyone on earth atleast saw this once. The message is powerful. The part with Pater really struck me aswell. I hope i can have an encounter during my lifetime that will hit me like that too. "Carve that encounter into me"
This might be my all time favourite anime, this is lifechanging, this is peak. I truly hope Vagabond and Berserk will get a faithful and masterful adaptation as Vinland Saga got. Greatest peace of fiction. Literally almost every episode of season 2 made me cry, it's beautiful, no words can describe it
Tbh, I don't think Vagabond will get an anime adaptation and that's probably for the best, I think a story like Vagabond is better left in it's original source material, as for berserk well we've seen the anime adaptations so far and its just depressing
Another thing to note here is that, canute's father's ghost stopped appearing after this meeting with thorfinn. Thorfinn also indirectly lifted a burden from canute's shoulder here.
I’ve seen a lot of anime in my life, but I’ve never seen anything quite as unique as Vinland Saga. Absolutely one of my favorites right now. It’s such a good story.
I genuinely felt like crying before King Canute started to laugh and then all the sadness in me was washed away when he started to laugh and I honestly felt better. I've never had such a unique experience with an anime like Vinland Saga, ever! The emotional highs you feel from it are just breathtaking.
Am I the only one who thought that Canute immediately looked so much younger when he finally laughed and smiled, then remembered that he actually is quite young despite being the King?
I believe Canute represents all of us, struggling to find happiness in simplicity. Our first reaction is to laugh at this lifestyle, find it cowardly, but then understanding it. I truly believe Vinland Saga escaped every anime trope.
Vinland saga has to be the greatest and most beautiful anime ever made. It has so many good messages, and life lessons that we can use in our real life. Absolute Masterpiece!❤❤❤❤❤❤💓
I think peace was always in Canute’s heart. The sudden change we saw of him between season 1 and 2 wasn’t as sudden as we thought. He needed an angel on his shoulder, and I think Thorfinn was that for a brief moment. I don’t expect Canute to continue making the right decisions though, since he is still in a position where he’ll have to be cruel eventually. But it was a stepping stone.
This show deserves "Anime Of The Year." To look at Thorfinn's Character Development from the beginning until now is something you see once in a Generation.. 🔥💯
Its so beautiful to see Canute admiring Thorfinn again after all those years. He admired Thorfinn for his strenght when they were younger, but now he admires him again for the idea of Ending war completly and the Tragic cycle it brings with. Yukimura Sensei has really written and drawn down a masterpiece. Thanks to MAPPA and everyone involved in this Masterpiece. 🤍👑
Can you imagine, an intense meetup where you think there’s going to be a huge showdown, but the other party says they’re just going to run for it? XD I can totally see why Canute started laughing, and it was so wholesome! Thorfinn’s request was so simple, and his response to being rejected was pure and without ulterior motives. Canute hadn’t experienced that ever. He got lost in the game of manipulation. Thorfinn was so genuine he broke Canute’s walls down.
@@ultratobsV2 I don't know about that. This arc of Kimetsu no Yaiba is its weakest, whereas Vinland Saga's second season already started on a high note without the need to trudge through the boring early days of soldier Thorfinn.
It was before this episode that it deserved AOTY. S2 has so many peaks where other shows are lucky to even have 2. Nothing else comes close to Vinland Saga for me. It's refreshing from the mainstream genre atm
Can't wait for the next season to come out. let's just say that Thorfinn will definitely be challenged on his beliefs in the future, with some characters making a return (a tall man we all know).
@@diegoruiz8342 No announcement yet, but the story is only halfway through, there’s a good season or 2 of material left to adapt. We saw glimpses of Season 2 on the last episode of s1, so we’ll have to wait and see
Truly Thorfinn's character is on another level. This series highlighted all the scenes where he acknowledges the things which he used to reject in the past.
@@Ash_Wen-li agreed, I also don’t think people should be interpreting the messages in the show as religious messages. It’s literally just about being a decent human being.
Vinland Saga's 2 finales are literally making me cry at both ends of the spectrum. Askeladds' death and this episode. I'm wondering if this is the thematic end of the arc and next episode is our reward for getting to the end. Holy catharsis
Thorfinn and Canute are still unlikely friends, love to see that. I wasn’t sure what the interaction would look like, but this was better than anything I could’ve expected.
What a life changing anime! Vinland saga never stops exceeding my expectations every single time. The next episode is Thorfinn's reunion with his family. I just can wait 😫♥️♥️
The character development for Canute is really good . In my Thorfinn and Canute are the best characters of the show so far . I can't wait to watch the season finale next week 👑👑👑 .
I love how this whole conversation turned into a discussion of philosophy, not between a warrior and a king, but between two old acquaintances who understood each other at a fundimental level. An you can tell that Canute *needed* a talk like this and in that laugh you can tell that, without even trying, Thorfinn restored a part of Canute's humanity.
As this anime progress it gets better and better like the storyline is really well written. Goes into so much from a man devoured by rage to losing it and now he seeks peace and a place where there’s no war or slavery it’s so dam Good my favorite part is where he’s like I have no enemies like wow he’s truly an amazing Man.
People don’t realize the reason Canute laughed is because Thorfinn; the boy he knew as a raging violent revenge-bent killer, is now here negotiating for peace and doing everything to avoid conflict. It almost seems absurd to think about when you remember the last time they actually encountered.
I am anime only but based upon the animation/art for when Canute was laughing and also the voice of the voice actor I got the feeling he was "refreshed" by Thorfinn's words. Thus his complete flip, it was like he was battling with the ideology of what makes a King that his father espoused and his own ambitions and goals then Thorfinn comes in and is like "Im about to ruin this mans whole career" and he was completely disarmed by it.
Thorfinn uses Canute's knowledge of his character to convince Canute that he is committing immoral acts. This is more persuasive than any bargain or threat someone could make. Such a powerful scene.
@@hellasbaby i love vinland saga but mushoku tensei is not mid. it is a story about character struggling and trying to be better. bcz no one i perfect. i love both stories.
@@barbozo You are not my enemy. I have no enemies. As for Mushoku Tensei. These anime are completely different in tone and message. I love both of them but I feel you can't compare the two evenly.
Anime have the power to convey messages and describe real life situations , it just impresses me every time. So beautiful and deep. Am I a warrior ? That message is the kind of the same message J.Krishnamurti tried to conveyed to older generation in the times of war. Even the basic conflict, basic discrimination lead to aggression, either psychologically or physically....I am not a warrior....
Thorfinn approached Canute with no tricks, no intent to harm, no pride. It must have been so refreshing for Canute to hear somebody so thoroughly honest and good-natured request something of him without any ulterior motives.
The most beautiful anime I've seen. The story is amazing and the character devolpments between multiple characters. Thorfin, Snake, Canute. Olmar made me especially happy he witnessed war and he immediately started to become a better man the ideology of "I'll make a place where I can tell people to live" was so beautiful and how they mentioned people yearn for death to finally be at peace really got to me. It's funny because I see a resemblance between Russia and Ukraine. Russia being like canute imo... I really hope we get a 3rd season.

Thorfinn was actually a real person. The anime's story was inspired by his life. He made a country without war or slavery.
@@Njanshalu Wow, didn't know that
Not quite. Just a flawed human trying to stick to his ideals
@@Ash_Wen-li agreed, I also don’t think people should be interpreting the messages in the show as religious messages. It’s literally just about being a decent human being.
Vinland Saga's 2 finales are literally making me cry at both ends of the spectrum. Askeladds' death and this episode. I'm wondering if this is the thematic end of the arc and next episode is our reward for getting to the end. Holy catharsis
Best of Thorfinn. And best of Canute. Honestly I love both developed characters.
That was soo cute
Thorfinn and Canute are still unlikely friends, love to see that. I wasn’t sure what the interaction would look like, but this was better than anything I could’ve expected.
Those whose been to war can truly understand what Thorfinn means by running.
Whole episode broke me into tears
The only subtitles I have , there are no subtitles for this episode in England 😭😭
Every father should show this anime to their sons.
The seiyuu clutch it here, you can truly feel how canute's laughter is of relief
What a life changing anime! Vinland saga never stops exceeding my expectations every single time. The next episode is Thorfinn's reunion with his family. I just can wait 😫♥️♥️
When he realized this was real and not just some tactic his brain broke lol
The character development for Canute is really good . In my Thorfinn and Canute are the best characters of the show so far . I can't wait to watch the season finale next week 👑👑👑 .
They are the best duo in TV production history for me. Even surpassing Emiya Shiro vs Emiya Archer for me.
I love how this whole conversation turned into a discussion of philosophy, not between a warrior and a king, but between two old acquaintances who understood each other at a fundimental level.
An you can tell that Canute *needed* a talk like this and in that laugh you can tell that, without even trying, Thorfinn restored a part of Canute's humanity.
The last episode is peak anime … respect to the author
It’s honestly interesting to see him laugh after all those years, feels like he suppressed too long
Even tho my life kinda sucks rn and i dont know how my life will be in the next months this show motivates me to keep going and take nothing negativly
Lol same
As this anime progress it gets better and better like the storyline is really well written. Goes into so much from a man devoured by rage to losing it and now he seeks peace and a place where there’s no war or slavery it’s so dam Good my favorite part is where he’s like I have no enemies like wow he’s truly an amazing Man.
People don’t realize the reason Canute laughed is because Thorfinn; the boy he knew as a raging violent revenge-bent killer, is now here negotiating for peace and doing everything to avoid conflict. It almost seems absurd to think about when you remember the last time they actually encountered.
I am anime only but based upon the animation/art for when Canute was laughing and also the voice of the voice actor I got the feeling he was "refreshed" by Thorfinn's words. Thus his complete flip, it was like he was battling with the ideology of what makes a King that his father espoused and his own ambitions and goals then Thorfinn comes in and is like "Im about to ruin this mans whole career" and he was completely disarmed by it.
@@projectomnia1997 yes, indeed
i feel like this scene portrays a mix of respect between them. both know what the other is capable off and they agree to disagree
Thorfinn is the type of person to hop on ranked in Mortal Kombat and ask you to put down your controller so y’all can talk about your day.
Thorfinn will be the best MC of 2023
Canute has a really nice laugh.
Such a good story. I loved every moment.
Didn't expect Thorfin to pull out the ultimate Joestar technique.
Joseph joestar would be proud

From his senior to his colleague to his friend.
And then he told me: "Kimetsu No Yaiba has a great script!" 0:40
He seems happy to see thorthin and see the man he has become
Huge shoutout to the comment section for recommending me to start watching Vinland a couple of weeks ago.
Y’all the real MVPs!🔥
Vinland is boring bruh I dropped it this season, I'm looking forward to mushoku tensei instead
@@barbozoobvoius troll is obvoius
@@barbozo imagine seeking attention under majority of comments.
@@barbozo Ok Kid...
Thorfinn uses Canute's knowledge of his character to convince Canute that he is committing immoral acts. This is more persuasive than any bargain or threat someone could make. Such a powerful scene.
Canute is so fine ❤❤❤
ikr
I don't care what anyone says. The second season of Vinland Saga is one of the best seasons of television I've ever watched.
Get off the pookie bro bleach thousand year blood war, my hero, jjk, demon slayer, DBZ, 1piece way better than this

The most unique and beautiful anime i have ever seen huge respect to the author
when i saw this videosTumbnail before the Episode , i thought Thorfin suggested the Hnefatafl Game :D
Every young man should watch this anime series.
Mushoku tensei stomps this mid
@@barbozo that anime is mid im sorry
@@hellasbaby i love vinland saga but mushoku tensei is not mid. it is a story about character struggling and trying to be better. bcz no one i perfect. i love both stories.
@@barbozo
You are not my enemy.
I have no enemies.
As for Mushoku Tensei.
These anime are completely different in tone and message.
I love both of them but I feel you can't compare the two evenly.

Love how these two characters are often paralleled and how they both went from being one-note in Season 1 to incredibly captivating in Season 2.
Canute is not actually bad guy he just wants solve the problems with his way
That's... true. But the methods he uses are cruel.
So a understood villian
@@umcaraqualquer3640 Its nothing for a king who wants to reach his dream
@@EJ_D._Kidd I dont think he's villain at all
@@chivania4469 he is somehow a Villain, but not 100%. His methodes are controverse
That’s some impressive Talk no Jutsu
Next episode thorfinn goes back home. Oh boy tears are gonna flow
Thorfinn? Who's that? 😓
Anime have the power to convey messages and describe real life situations , it just impresses me every time. So beautiful and deep. Am I a warrior ? That message is the kind of the same message J.Krishnamurti tried to conveyed to older generation in the times of war. Even the basic conflict, basic discrimination lead to aggression, either psychologically or physically....I am not a warrior....
This entire episode was 10/10. Exceptional, convince me otherwise.
I finally understand when Bruce Lee said: "You win every battle that you run away from..."
Thorfinn approached Canute with no tricks, no intent to harm, no pride. It must have been so refreshing for Canute to hear somebody so thoroughly honest and good-natured request something of him without any ulterior motives.
A Episode that made my cry without featuring a characters death. 10/10 anime . last time that happend was Mob Psycho S2
A Man does not fight for recklessness. A real man realizes there is no need for fighting and foolishness. Thorfinn sees this now
The most beautiful anime I've seen. The story is amazing and the character devolpments between multiple characters. Thorfin, Snake, Canute. Olmar made me especially happy he witnessed war and he immediately started to become a better man the ideology of "I'll make a place where I can tell people to live" was so beautiful and how they mentioned people yearn for death to finally be at peace really got to me. It's funny because I see a resemblance between Russia and Ukraine. Russia being like canute imo... I really hope we get a 3rd season.
Qué gran capítulo, cuánta sabiduría y honor verdadero. Me encantó.
Thorfinn literally stopped an invasion by asking nicely
I have no enemies works
