Jesus that was another incredibly powerful moment from this series. Kinda sucker punched me, I got lulled into the mostly slice of life aspect of the series recently.

Eiba posted:Just as a courtesy, it would be nice to have spoilers for a new chapter indicated as such, especially when the new chapter hasn't been mentioned or linked in the thread yet. Absolutely loved how the whole thing was done. There was no big dramatic act from Thorfinn, or last final trial he had to overcome. It was just him being consistently decent person that tries to make the world a better place, while Hild (re)builds a life of her own and realizes that her anger and hatred really does not have any point. Despite Hild forgiveness being a really big deal for Throfinn, it came from Hild's own character development and not from something specific he did.

If you had told me years ago when I was reading the hard war manga Vinland Saga that in 2022 I would be cheering harder for a moment of emotional growth and forgiveness than I ever did for any fight scene, I would’ve said, “who are you, old man? Get out of my room!”

Had a good cry at that moment in this chapter. Forgiveness can be a really powerful thing.

While I enjoyed re-reading it all, I'm glad that the horse race in Otoyomegatari is finally over. Good times all around even when Behke pulls her loving sword This face screams peak smug.

Great finish. I like how all the steppe people were like "Oh hell yeah, NOW it's a party!" and the city slickers were totally lost.

for some reason the last few chapters of otoyo and vinland saga never made it onto my radar, super glad to have something to binge something i'm wondering about after the latest chapter of vinland i'm pretty sure the native peoples even in the northeast coast had at least some level of agriculture? seems a little suspect that in the most recent chapter the tribe they've encountered seems to be subsistence hunting based. i know that the mississipian culture had fairly complex agricultural society centuries before the manga takes place, though pretty well to the south. now i'm curious which population tended to have a more stable supply of calories, a native of the northeast or a nordic peasant.

Didn't the author take multiple breaks to do research? It'd be cool if they really were dedicated to accurate portrayal (beyond the animeisms like punching a horse airborne etc) That said it looks like we are headed straight for the historical scenario, no alt history for us

That's one thing we can pretty much rule out, because they went back home. We've got multiple people from the expedition who went on to be significant figures in Icelandic history. Snorri Thorfinnsson was one of the main figures responsible for the peaceful Christianization of Iceland, before dying at a ripe old age.

I'm really not looking forward to the constant complaints of "where are all the viking fights" again, but hoo boy am I excited for everything else about experiencing Farmland Saga once more. It's still probably my favorite arc in the entire story.

Lol mappa took Vinland saga from wit too? I’m concerned how a lot of studios might approach farmland saga but mappa has been on a roll for several years so I’m mega stoked.

new vinland saga I still wonder if we're headed for a historical branching path or if we'll stick to the way things actually went, I have a feeling we'll get a flicker of hope followed by crushing disappointment and the failure of man as everything falls apart. the author's really good at teasing that part out. I'm on the fence on which I'd rather see happen in this story.

Captain Invictus posted:new vinland saga Actually, it just occurred to me, if we have to have (history spoilers) Thorfinn go back to Iceland to be a merchant, we do have a spare Thorfinn right there in Round Eyes. The issue of his wife and kid are a bit sticky, and Round Eyes is actually the most involved with the Lnu so far, but I could see there being a twist where our Thorfinn and his friends join the natives when his community falls apart, and Roud Eyes leaves for Iceland to tell a modified version of the story that eventually becomes history. That might straddle a sad and happy ending in a satisfying way. As for this chapter- I think it was a bit simplistic and anachronistic for things to split along gender lines. The woman encouraging her husband or brother to righteous violence is practically a stock character in the sagas. Not being encouraged to participate in violence by your society doesn't mean you're free from falling into the trap of seeing the need for it. Admittedly the sagas were written for and about aristocrats and landholders, where violence is required to maintain a family's status, but the idea that all ordinary women think war is dumb, even defensive war in this case, doesn't really ring true for me. I will give the author credit for emphasizing that men don't have to participate in violence, and emphasizing that the obligation of violence is something that hurts men. I would have appreciated more ordinary men on Thorfinn's side, as I think the only man actually standing with him was his buddy Einar. I think what's being said about violence is interesting, but what's being said about gender is a bit simplistic, even if I do like elements of it.

Eiba posted:I really hope that even if things eventually fall apart that some people get good endings. I don't want Cordelia to have to go back to Iceland. I think it will eventually become a closer vote but still side on the arm ourselves outcome. Despite everything you can't escape the cycle of violence is one of the pillars of the story. Thorifinn might get a personal happy ending but it has been foreshadowed long and hard that violence is coming. Also this panel is great:

Captain Invictus posted:NEW VINLAND SAGA.  It's tragic, but a good story. In this tenuous situation there were people on both sides who didn't want peace, even if they had very different reasons. I wonder how this is going to play out, and what kind of conclusion everyone is going to take from it. It's too nihilistic for this to just be the end of Thorfinn's dream, especially since we saw how close it was to working out. But I can't see how anything will work out after this.

I do think it could theoretically be salvaged since the shaman broke the Miꞌkmaq's own parley rites in front of them, but probably not

either all hell breaks loose or Thorfinn immediately and efficiently murders Eyvar right this second. this will not happen unless he's going to forsake his vow of pacifism, and so all hell is about to break loose. although, I've kind of been expecting a moment where he has to reveal his bloody past to everyone, and since everyone is standing right here right at this instant...

My guess has always been that the mission falls apart but thorafinn finds peace in Vinland. Maybe he goes wandering meeting new people, maybe he settles near the natives by "himself". But a large majority of the other Vikings are going to head back to Iceland without him. I think a hand for a hand would be appropriate here, which is justice not murder

It's kind of a coin toss, because on one hand it's an elder of the tribe, and on the other he's breaking their sacred rules and traditions. It's gonna depend 100% of if he's got the backing of enough people to push for violence. Also, despite the Lnu tribe saying they didn't do it, and correctly saying there are a shitload of other tribes with completely different languages and values, Thorfinn is still like "no we don't need a fort" like lmao dude the natives just told you there's a ton of unknowns they can't even be sure of.

 New Otoyomegatari and it's a very sweet end to the horse race arc with the cruel reminder that Russia is going to ruin a good thing for everyone.
