Thanks for the new chapter! The TL notes at the end were pretty neat.

Yeah, in the end disease is what kills more than the conflict.

 

[Resaz1]

Yeah ain't no way thorfinn would success, the author will use the original saga where he failed and back to Greenland, such shame

I wonder what's going through Hild's mind while watching this unfold.

 

[Ebyandsmartie]

With each passing month the outcome of this is looking more and more likely to be that of the historical one...

 

[xrogaan]

What kind of disease is that?

 

[beperov]

What kind of disease is that?

Probably measles

 

[RexNemorensis]

What kind of disease is that?

 

[RyoSaeba]

What kind of disease is that?

Probably something similar Plague seeing how they have black patches, it was common when traveling by sea to have rats and fleas on board, and they're known to be common carrier of many kinds of diseases similar to this.

 

[phi_lemon]

What a satisfying punch. Thanks for the chapter

I still don't get it...

These natives can get high and see into the future, and one of them can even see the Industrial Revolution and its consequences, but Valhalla absolutely is not real and death is oblivion?

 

[Saybah]

I really have no idea how Thorfinn gonna solve this, or at least how the story will conclude in a satisfying way.

 

[jeezits]

Oh right, this isn't a casual slice of life manga, I had forgotten.

 

[Liar]

This sucks. I hate this.

I know, historically, this was going to happen, but, man, it still makes me so sad. Everyone (save for a few) were so earnest to pursue peace, but this stuff always happens. Ugh...

Great arc so far, I love it.

Yukimura is either making a statement or isn't. We weren't going to follow that one dying dude into the afterlife. We just got him feeling betrayed before he kicked it. Who knows what's real in the story.

Thanks for the chapter!

The Vikings didnt actually have superhuman strength either, but we have Thorkell tossing boulders and being like 8ft tall.

I assume Yukimura decides to show the embellished historical feats, rather than make it entirely grounded in reality. Its not inherently anything supernatural, it could be psychedelics causing the visions and so the manga uses it to drive the story forward.

[Chizan]

When the first explorers from Europe traveled the Amazon it was said the riverside was full of Mayan settlements, as far and as deep as eye could see. When other explorers came after a long while, they didn't find anything, just jungle overgrown everything...

 

[OtakuD50]

Regarding the TL notes, I found "winpnet" which means "having a venereal disease," in which case I imagine it's a mistranslation on the part of the author.
