Vinland Saga Chapter 54 Discussion

Wow, it was difficult for me to see Askeladd (fav character) go down like that, he made such a great villain/anti-hero. Great to see Canute take charge once again and piss off Floki in the process. Who knows what Thorfinn will do now that he's lost his only reason for living? As always, can't wait for next chapter!

This is where it begins, Vinland Sage. I hope to witness the end of this great story

HELL NO!

Damn! He was my favorite character, I wasn't expecting this turn of events...!



I'm clueless to where the story will go from now.

Amazing. Just amazing. I wonder what Thorfinn will do next and what Canute has in store for him.

Fantastic chapter,  so far Vinland saga has managed a perfect 10/10. So 54 chapters for prologue,  so I guess this is where Thorfinn's journey actually starts now,  finding his own place other than the obsession for revenge.  RIP Askeladd,  one of the memorable characters out there, loved his character as a whole.

Askeladd went out like a real bro, not only saving his homeland but by putting Prince (or should I say, King) Canute over. Going forward, if this series going to hold up without him then Thorfinn will need to grow out of his edgy manchild phase. I wonder how that will work out.

Did alot of binge reading today, from 28 to 59... this 54 chapter was AMAZING, you have to read and experience to get that attached, Askeladd is my favorite character so far, my being complain with the manga being that Thorfinn needs to improve alot, which I hope it does with this farm arc, which I m reading so far and it is quite good.



Again to this chapter, I just every that has happened in the last 2 chapters till now, really shocking, out of nowhere and it was just freaking insane.

Also very interested in the development Canute may have from this point forward because damm, that was brillaint of Askeladd.



He was so cunning and ruthless but even he had something he wanted to achieve and in the end he managed to not betray any of his believes.

Also when Thorfinn came in, you could see the despair on Askeladd face telling him to stay away, we all know in his own way Askeladd been caring and growing Thorfinn as a warrior,  and that last comment he gave to Thorfinn, was something we could all see, he was too blind with revenge, to the point he would always lose his way in life after Askeladd died, which the later knew and this was the perfect execution to finish this amazing prologue.

I dunno if the manga will reach such highs again, but this little perfect conclusion is worth of a 10.

Prologue- 9.5/10, the reason I can’t give it a 10 is because Canute’s development was to abrupt and unrealistic.

Understandable and a reasonable complain, had a similiar opinion too but the manga doesnt drag much there so it was never a problem for me, besides it was supposed to be a sudden change and so it was.

Canute had alot of emotional baggage itself that we arent fully aware, he just needed a trigger to change.

At first I was adamant to Canute since I cant forgive him for being such a cute trap (wanted some romantic stuff going, like the vulgar man I proudly am), but the mangaka did it good!

Damn, I never saw that death coming, still can't believe I stop reading the series when I was so close to the end of prologue for so many years now. Well, I finally finish the prologue at last.



Great chapter.So how great was the prologue.



It was great overall and I am looking forward to the farm arc, as I have heard both positive and negative opinion on it, going in with a open mind.
