Vinland Saga Chapter 71 Discussion

Thorfinn's going through the same phase that ashoka once did. I personally don't want thorfinn to become a non violent dude even if I advocate for it irl.

Got strong Berserk vibes from this chapter.



And wow, great character development for Thorfinn. Imo this arc is just as good of not better than the previous ones.

Hated thorfin new resolve. He is a warrior in the middle age, what else is he good for? Is Thorfin an intelligent character that will rationalize a pacific solution to solve the many problems and injustices around him ? Is he skilled enough to neutralize his opponents without killing them( like Rurouni Kenshin? I don`t think so, he has been a soldier a lethal weapon , always letting others do the thinking for him.http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterDevelopment

This was such a fantastic and beautiful chapter. So raw and deep. Really powerfull conclusion

you can hurt people for self-defense Thorfinn lol



anyway lets see how far this pacifism of his will go



Askeladd giving some nice coaching too there

Is Thorfin now ghandi?Nope, he looks more like Mother Teresa to me. Will probably get a gender change later on and Vinland Saga will transform into a border-H 4-koma gag manga.

I would love to read a manga about that.

I'm loving the direction that VS is going, and except that I plan to get back to reading Historie, these kinds of manga/anime seem really interesting to read.

I mean, he will obviously use violence again. This is more of a "no more senseless violence" kind of thing than an actual stop to the violence. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if this was the next step of his character development: that sometimes in this cruel world you do need a little bit of violence, to defend yourself or your loved ones for example.

Also, we need to remember Thors. He beat the shit out of Askeladd's gang before beating Askeladd himself in a duel. Violent stuff if you ask me.
