Hentaikid posted:He certainly was a cool character but I still remember him putting a whole village to death for a temporary tactical advantage. Fucker was cold blooded as hell. In fact, that kind of uncomfortable amorality of theoretically sympathetic main characters is the one similarity that's really struck me between this and Planetes (this author's previous work, if anyone didn't know). Locksmith's cold assertion to the press that, "the next one won't fail" after causing an engine to explode during testing killing hundreds of people (and the fact that Hachimaki's father signed up because of that attitude), evokes the same kind of uncomfortable but not necessarily unsympathetic feeling as Askeladd casually having a village massacred because they were inconvenient. I thought it was pretty cool in both works. I guess I just like being made to sympathize with characters I vehemently disagree with.

Oh yeah I agree completely, excellent character and excellent storytelling that makes us admire and respect him despite what he did.

Yeah, if you told someone that a character in a work of historical fiction is the descendant of King Arthur and his name is basically the male version of Cinderella, they probably wouldn't expect someone like Askeladd.

Shouldn't the next chapter be out by now? I wish people translated this and kept track of it more frequently.

I wonder if we're going to see a timeskip and a slightly older Thorfinn, or if it's just going to continue with Thorfinn in prison and somehow breaking out... or something.

If it is coming out it should be today or tomorrow I would think. It's driving me nuts because I really want to see a timeskip thorfinn.

Don't worry guys, Yukimura is just taking a short break to play a little idolmaster. I'm sure he'll be back on track in no time.

So can one guess that the main story will be about Thorfinn getting out of slavery and wants revenge on the king he helped to the throne?

Given the name of the series, I'm gonna go with no.

I have a feeling Thorfinn was roughly around the age of 12-14 when we last saw him. If it is like any anime, Thorfinn was 5 years old, and now he is maybe 10. Seriously, anime/manga has the loving weirdest 'ages', I just ignore em.

Wow, JerseyMonkey, thanks for the thread! I've never even heard of Vinland Saga before but so far I'm loving it. I'm only on episode 11, but I am enjoying it immensely.

Zorak posted:Uhhh why wouldn't he be his real father? Just a guess but Thorfinn doesn't look anything like Thors and it's mentioned at least a couple of different times by different characters, when he's fighting Thorkell the second time it shows a direct comparison between the two and Thorkell says they don't have the same "look in their eye", it shows his sister being born but we never see Thorfinns birth we just know he was with Thors as a kid around 2-4, Thors shows a soft spot for adopting thralls. His fighting to live up to his father reputation and avenge him has also been a pretty big plot point and it wouldn't surprise me to see the writers turn that on its head. Could be totally wrong of course.

Everyone I've gotten to read Vinland Saga has pointed out that Thorfinn looks nothing like his father. I don't think this is an uncommon interpretation. Especially with "father issues" being a major theme in the prologue and all.

It's frustrating this series keeps killing off my favorite characters. Thors was first and Bjorn was second followed shortly by Askeladd. Now we get left with an emo lumberjack... what the? Can't say I saw that one coming.

And he looks more like his mother so Besides, he looks quite a bit like Thors now!
