Vinland Saga Chapter 54 Discussion

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



Well there is Canute too. But truly Askeladd was carrying the plot until now with his awesomeness so the author must be careful.

I guess it really is time for Thorfinn to grow and start carrying a good part of the plot.

Also am still amazed that Thorfinn seems to not care about the other guy that payed to have his father killed even when his in the same room. He must know he is the one responsible. He saw him in the village and he also heard his father say his name when Askeladd was trying to kill him.

Damn, I got a bit teary eyed during this. Very powerful chapter, this series is really something else.



It's heavy having to accept that Askeladd is dead. He was just too good of a character and very much welcome to stay, I still can't believe it.



I can't even begin to imagine how much more the series will develop from here on out. I guess this is where Thorfinn's character will start to step-up and remind us who the MC for this series is. Hyped!

what surprised me most is the title of the chapter "end of the prologue", what, is there gonna be a timeskip? A prologue doesn't necessarily have to be followed by a timeskip.

Canute is the new king!!!! kekeke great turn in the events!!! kekeke

Oh No Askeldad !!! How could he die like that ? :( His last words was touchy. After 10 years with Thorfinn they created weird bond thought.  Poor Thorfinn...That was big shock. What will he do now... Now he had to change like the prince. Askeldad's death should make him open his eyes and   think about his future. Actually i want him to visit his family.

Wow wow wow WOWZERS!!!! That was the perfect ending to such a bizarre, twisted, and inconceivably interesting relationship! I don't think I've seen something in any media quite like the Thorfinn and Askeladd dynamic; thank you Vinland Saga!!!

                Whoa. I can't believe Askeladd would willingly give his life away to Thorfinn. He died away though. This really reminded me of Berserk. Anyway I wonder how he'll continue to live the rest of his life. To kill the new King Canute for taking away his revenge or become a true warrior. I think either way watching war with the King is going to be in there.2009...... HOLY MOLY

I think his uncle will find him or he might serve under canute for a duel ....just some guesses =]
