I think the word you’re looking for is “incapacitate”! Also, really enjoying the reactions! I started watching Vinland Saga like 3 years ago, but paused like 8 episodes in and I never got around to finishing it, so I’m excited to watch it with you! Btw, the mushroom Björn ate is the red toadstool, a very common mushroom all across Europe. It’s highly poisonous and can cause hallucinations. It causing him to go into blind rage is based on a real theory of Viking warriors supposedly eating mushrooms to block fear and pain during battle, which let them get in a sort of battle trance. However, that belief is widely considered a myth nowadays.

The berserker thing is actually something that's debated today, and there's a lot of details that are confusing or contradictory. The world berserker comes comes from an old Viking term that mean 'bear skin' and it was said that berserker warriors would charge into battle wearing nothing but a bear skin, and they basically crazy killing machines. What exactly caused this is the part that's debated. Some sources do point to consuming a mushroom or drugs, while other sources point to it being something closer to a mental state one slipped into. There are parts of old Viking stories about people slipping into these states without warning, and a particular instance where a man is killed in a duel because the other man attacked him before he finished the process.

Odin, the All-father, the norse god or war, death, wisdom and many others, is most likely the most known of all the Norse gods. Swearing to gods was taken very seriously. Not seeing through your oath that you swore on a god's name was seen as disrespectful and disgraceful. Askeladd swearing on Odin's name here is a big deal since these oaths are not something one should do lightly. First of all, Thors fighting everyone with only his fists is really telling. The reach everyone has on Thors is nothing to laugh at and to evade swords and axes and only counter with his fists really shows his skill and experience. Not to mention, nobody died from Askeladd's crew. Truly an impressive feat. I would also like to bring up what Thorfinn mentioned about Askeladd. His armor. I'm not sure how much you know about medieval armor, but that is a breastplate in the style of Roman armor. The kind you usually see in movies or games that are worn by gladiators and such. It's very out of place for where this takes place. You can also tell how experienced Askeladd is. He's clearly a smart guy and knows how to fight. To land a blow on someone who single handedly (and bare handedly) beat your whole crew, it really shows his level. And while he managed to disarm Thors, he was still one step behind. He did figure out what he was going for and all while being pushed back and in the middle of the fight. Both of them are truly exceptional fighters. But, in the end, Askeladd is a cunning and charismatic leader. Who knows if he was buying time for Bjorn or others to take any of the kids hostage or what the true intentions were, but he did get what he came for. He clearly had no intention of respecting the duel, or rather he did respect it and let Thors have the victory, yet have him die in the end to people outside of the duel. But it's clear that he did respect Thors to some degree as seen by what he says to Ari how Thors was worth more than a hundred of kids like him. But I guess a job is a job and regardless of respect, he had to carry it out. "A true warrior doesn't need a sword" Is such a good line though. Also, poor Thorfinn.

I remain convinced that Askelladd was desperately looking for any reason to let Thors live when he asked Thors to lead them, that was the only out he could think of. The look on his face when Thors refused looked forlorn. In the space of the fight he grew to respect Thors and regretted having to kill him.

ohh I didn't pay attention to the armor, idk much about that. Thank you for all the info as always 🥰

Thorfinn has that same look and attitude Eren did in the beginning of Attack on Titan. A huge chip on his shoulder along with a vengeance and look ready to burn down the world to get to Askeladd. If anything they're lucky Thors brought people otherwise there would be no reason for him to hold back and sacrifice himself for the safety of his son and the crew he brought along.

Oh wow that's so true! It's been so long since I watched attack on titan I had forgotten about Eren!
