Vinland Saga Chapter 55 Discussion

I just can't stop reading....

Man. That man just tossed her like she was trash. Slaves were treated like shit. Brutal. An the old man is still looking for Thorfinn. I wonder how long it's been since Askeladd was dead. Probably 6 months to a year. Anyone besides me expected the chapter to be longer and Thorfinn wouldn't be in it? It's taking a new road so let's see where it may go.

nice development at the end ! but thorfinn a slave ....is this gladiator all over again ?

O_o Thorfin? Oh my God, how this boy changed!!!! kekeke

What happened to my cute Thorfin

I didint like it. What the hell ! How come Thorfin live as  slave.

Interesting development, that's for sure.

I'm hoping this new slave guy that's now joining Thorfinn doesn't remain the narrator/main character though. This chapter just gave me this feeling that that is going to be the case...



Interesting point.  Maybe he's another famous historical figure?  I'm not too clued up on this historical period so I have no idea.Yeah neither. Though, he doesn't seem anyone special after having read chapter 56. He just manages to get on my nerves more than anything else =/

Though, Yukimura Makoto has a habit of making dramatic changes to characters personalities (as seen with the Prince and more recently Thorfinn), so who knows.

well... that's definitely a change of pace. time skip... but how long?

He looks like a old man? Is this a 20 years timeskip? lol Interesting development nonetheless.

I think this might have been the only way for the Canute to spare Thorfinn. I mean he did try to kill the Prince.

I love that everything up to this point was 'prologue'.  This manga is shaping up to be one epic mature masterpiece, I hope it keeps up the quality and realises all the potential awaiting it.  That potential ultimately being the personal journey of Thorfinn from boy to teen to man, with all that political stuff just being periphery to him.



I like that to. If that much depth and work was put into the prologue i can only imagine that the rest of the story will be amazing.

I hope that something motivates him, he looks so soulless...

What happened to Thorfinn?! Every time I try to predict what is going to happen, Makoto throws a curveball at me.
