That feels like a strong vibe to get from him but that's how I feel about Houken in kingdom and god I hope so much the new arc doesn't meant his DBZ rear end will be showing up but inside I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's gonna happen ugh

Maybe he thinks Garm can beat Thorkell? Send a shonen protagonist to kill a shonen villain.

By the bye, Garm is the watchdog of Hel (the goddess and the place) in norse mythology.

Did Floki actually send Garm to kill Vaghn? I can't remember if he was hired or if he just did it because he felt like it.

floki is actually p. dumb, as evidenced by all the other times he assumed other people were motivated by the exact same things he is

Floki being unable to understand the motives of others is literally core to his character, it's a big reason why he hated Thors, because Thors didn't see everything in terms of pure cost/benefit like he does. Thorkell isn't as bad as Thors (who Floki couldn't read at all) but is just as much the irrational wild card in his own, single minded way.

Thorkell isn't as bad as Thors (who Floki couldn't read at all) but is just as much the irrational wild card in his own, single minded way.

A decent part of that was that Thors whole outlook was, for lack of a better term, un-Viking. Floki is a Viking dude living in a Viking world and suddenly the guy he knew as the Platonic Ideal of Vikings disappeared and when he popped back up was a pacifist with no desire for things that really turn normal Vikings' cranks.

Thorkell on the other hand is still the same ol' G. Not only that, Thorkell is very vocal and in fact famous for being driven 100% by fighting. Several times he has notoriously switched sides in wars and battles because his side was winning too easily. At the point where we are in the story Thorkell is getting a real jonesing for battle and is fairly loudly complaining about not having any fights to fight.

The attack on Thors was dumb and pointless, but at least fit within some sort of logical reasoning for dealing with a Viking warrior. Kill stealing Thorkel makes no sense at all unless Thorkel was expected to somehow lose the fight anyway or some other poor bastard was sent to assassinate Thorkel in order to totally wipe out any challengers to Floki's plan.

you're thinking of Thorkell's flashback, not Floki's

Garm acting like then-Thorfinn makes for a nice mirror to now-Thorfinn. I hope he doesn't stick around for long though.

Garm doesn't act like old Thorfinn, he's more like skinny Thorkell

So as for the events in this chapter,

But as for how it was presented,

So on the balance, great chapter.

Hey all, this is a newer release (only one chapter released so far, but they have a whole volume they're scanning?), but it looks pretty promising.

It seems pretty cool and interesting, I'm looking forward to more.
