Vinland Saga Chapter 148 Discussion

I have a strong feeling that Garm will get his fight with Thorfinn really soon. Isn't he Floki's bodyguard? He'll go in between and Thorfinn will probably go nuts. At least Einar won't see him like that.

This is great to look back on in this chapter

Ugh I hate this cliffhanger since I already know for certain that Thorfinn won't go back on his vows and won't lash out at Floki or kill anyone (I don't think the author will ever let Thorfinn regress, it's realistic that he would still fall into the danger of using his old methods and it only adds to show how difficult his decision was, how hard he's struggling to continue his inner conflict) but part of me is still hoping for it to happen although it would be a huge mistake narratively

Thorfinn still has a big target on his back. Yikes. What a cliffhanger.

The last two panels go so hard

I've been waiting for the moment Thorfinn pick up the sword again and realize that his "pacifism" ideals won't always work. i knew that it'll eventually happen, and it would be a part of Thorfinn's character development and his growth as a character.



But i didn't expect it to be so.... urgent. he's obviously under the effect of rage and not thinking straight, so he may do something he's gonna regret later. plus, there's his "deal" with Hild about not killing any more people.



Best chapter in a long, long time.

OMG SHIP SHIP SHIP!



On a more serious note, damn, Thorfinn's treading an awfully fine line here. Really hope he doesn't go back to being a spiteful edgelord
