Vinland Saga Chapter 172 Discussion

I found this chapter quite profound. Thorfinn understands that the presence of such a weapon does nothing but escalate any situation, no matter how you justify its presence.



It's disappointing to see comments about how "this manga sucks now," presumably because it isn't violent (at the moment). I still think there's a lot to look forward to; their inevitable adventure, Hild's character development, and the situations Thorfinn will have to negotiate without weapons.  



Nah the writing has just declined..and its not because of pacifist Thorfinn. The farm arc for an example was still amazing but since then it just feels more childish, dragged out etc. and the characters are not as compelling now

Thorfinn said that he'll still bring axes for cutting wood, and spears for warding off bears and wild animals, but sword is specifically for fighting other humans

Oh, sorry about it, then. It's been almost a month so I don't really remember what he said.

Anyway, we'll see who'll get his way soon.

Why is Hild still here? What role does her continued presence in the story serve? She's done the same thing over and over and over again without any development whatsoever. And now she's throwing a fit over Thorfinn's attempt to explain his stance on weapons to Eyvar.



And as funny as Thorfinn and Eyvar's exchange was, why can't Thorfinn just say that, though they don't have swords, they're still taking axes, bows and spears as they'll still need them to farm and otherwise protect themselves in Vinland? It's pure comedic fluff to waste time.

I don't understand how the author managed to turn this manga into such idealistic tripe. Embarrassing to say the least.



Woah, imagine having themes in your story.

The author is such a tool.
