Vinland Saga Chapter 54 Discussion

Askeladd is goat. His death kinda makes me lose interest in reading the rest because he was the best character by far to me. Askeladd went out like a boss saving Wales and Canute by killing that piece of shit who called himself a king and becoming the scapegoat. Even in his final moments he’s still giving Thorfinn advice.



Seeing Thorfinn distraught like that and attacking Canute was so unexpected. I swear Thorfinn & Askeladd’s complex relationship is one of the best I’ve ever read.



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

Can't believe he died

Now idk how the rest of the manga will go

WOW ! The best chapter, so much tension !



I wonder how Thorfinn will recover that

RIP Askeladd. You were an amazing character.

This chapter was totally awesome, but I'm worried now. With Askeladd dead, can Thorfinn carry the show by himself?

What? Why?

Man the part with Thorfinn yelling at Askeladd really reminded me of the Ichigo vs Ulquirra post battle chat. Basically the same situation, bad guy defeated, hero complaining. Yet Vinland Saga pulled it off so much better



Sad heroic death is sad and heroic.

Though the circumstances are VASTLY different, But hey that was one helluva chapter!

I'm really curious about what'll happen next, what path will Thorfinn take now. It's a shame Askeladd died, one of the best characters here.
