I find Thorkell to be very refreshing after all the past episodes. It’s still violence and murder, but the way the show frames him is great. His actions are the same as everyone else, but I don’t get the feeling of “evil” from him. It’s amazing what a shift in perspective can do.

Thorkell has the same voice actor as Dimple from Mob Psycho

Alex cleveland

speaking of Mob, Mob is coming out today, right?

Isaac

I agree, Lola. That conversation between Askeladd & Thors was a big window into how his mind works

Isaac

True. Especially considering that kills done by him are terrifying. He's enjoyable and fearsome lol

Rare

I think it’s a very smart way to insert levity into the show. It keeps the show on topic about the themes of violence.

Thorkell was actually a real person in history and so where the Jomsvikings, search up Thorkell the Tall on google. He is 230cm (7'7) in Vinland Saga

Danny

its probably because he is so simple and void of deception or bad intent. while his actions dont differ, his attitude towards battle can be almost shown as respectable and absolutely nuts so its hard to hate him.

Bear Town has been on my tbr for so long! I've had a copy of Frederick Backman's A Man Called Ove sitting on my shelf that I'm going to get to soon.

Most of the characters are real. I'd advise not googling any of the names since real events would likely spoil plot points from the show.

y’all think you’re so funny with your dumbass comments like maybe they’ll love him maybe they won’t just stop giving hints?

ian

Yeah I hate these type of comments. You just sway peoples thoughts of what is going to happen.

I am only responding to what they said in the discussion part that many people tell them they love Askeladd. So it's nothing they haven't heard already. I am simply adding a +1 to that sentiment. At the end of the day, of course they will form their own opinion about the character.

To me, there are only two characters in this show who are true vikings. Not only fighting for wealth and honor, but also with the absolute conviction to die in battle. I'll let you guess who those two are. But ya, they don't care about anything except finding someone capable of taking them down, and for that reason, they go wherever they think they'll find the toughest battles. That isn't to say they're foolish, though. They don't want to be beat by cheap gimmicks or by being caught off guard, they want to face someone who can take them down at their best.

i'm a bit late but i've been a bit busy and on my period so i felt like shit. good thing is i won't have to wait long for the next update. i actually read that book a couple years ago, feel free if you wanna talk about it, i love discussing books too. though it's been a while and i've read many books since then. now, this episode is not one of my favourites but tbh there's no "bad" episodes on this show, just episodes that stand out more than others. i love the whole thorfinn and thorkell interaction and again, askeladd being all intriguing. the new volume of the manga will be out in a couple weeks and i can't wait to keep reading.
