The buildup to this chapter/its event was long, but with this one chapter I can tell the story's about to get more interesting

lol ok it will escalate to war now thanks Ivar!

It was gonna happen anyway, we know that the Europeans colonise the Americas lol. It wasn’t the Norse tho.



Norway is in europe, therefore they are europeans?

regardless, vinland saga isn’t a direct descent of history, it’s flawed in many aspects, this includes throfinns character.

it isn’t a direct copy of history.

so take the “real” historical events with a grain of salt when theorising the future of vinland saga.



I have no idea what you’re trying to do here lmao. Your first sentence makes no sense. No one said the norse was aren’t Europeans? I’m saying that we know the Europeans(not the Norse, the Spanish French, Portuguese etc) colonise the new world so the vision he had was not of the vikings betraying them but of the other colonisers

Eyvar made me punch the wall and throw my headset.

So people are blaming Ivar? Imo it's more of the old man's fault. What do you expect trying to harm a leader in front of his group. And Ivar doesn't even know that thorfinn could have dealt with the old man on his own. He just protected his leader which makes perfect sense.



Except its the norsemen fault, including Thorfinn, for invading a land that didnt belong to them. That elder was just protecting their kind.

That was freaking crazy I want the next chapter now lol



that was the best chapter imo since hild forgave thorfinn obviously that one was better tho lol

Well hate to say it but ivar was right to keep the sword. Guess we’re going to see how the horse colonies in Canada failed now but what happened in the oracle's vision may have happened precisely because Ivar brought a sword

So someone did draw the first blood finally, just the kind of thing Ivar was interested in. Pretty sure Thorfinn would've dodged but hey how can Ivar let this kinda chance slip by.



Well fuck peaceful negotiations, we're in for a whole lot of misunderstandings from here on.
