Vinland Saga - Ch. 211 - Thousand Year Voyage Part 20

[cgr]

none of the nords are soldiers.

not completely true, vargar and his men were jomsvikings turned pirates (chapter 190), but overall I agree, the lnu are probably overall more trained than the nords.

 

[brainman]

Only if they don't have somewhere to go back to, which these settlers do.

Einar has nowhere to go back to. For him, it's either this, or having his home taken through violence again, running away again, and hoping it doesn't happen... again. The choice he's making isn't tactically sound, and I don't think it's even about Arnheid really, but it's an understandable one.

 

[DiosKakarotto]

I have a good feeling that Einar is probably going to die in the defense against the Lnu. It’d probably be poetic that he falls protecting Arnheid’s village.

 

[Sheetswork]

I agree with Einar. Thorfinn isn't fit to be a leader. I agree with his mentality but that mentality will and has gotten his people killed.

 

[maxiusagi]

woooooooo it's war time, kill em all!!

 

[runche]

Yea Vagar and his sailors are former Jomsvikings. Hild is OP too. Sucks that Thorffin is incapacitated. I love when characters underestimate him and then he shows his strength, but story isn't going in that direction it seems. Unless it turns into prolonged siege where he gets a few day to recuperate. He'll probably 1v1 dude that got the sword at least.

 

[Doomroar]

And that's how the Vikings managed to successfully thrive on the new continent for generations to come

Oh wait...

 

[Manu_2006]

About 50 untrained farmers against 300 trained warriors. This shit will be a massacre unless thorfinn gets some bs plot armor

 

[Manu_2006]

Cmon Einar bros before hoes

 

[mochimaid]

This is so fucking painful.

Einar about to find out why Thorfinn hates this shit.

Exactly. Unfortunately it's a lesson you usually don't survive.

Einar may not personally/emotionally have a place he views as "his" home in Iceland, but practically and materially he definitely has a place to go back and live at in Iceland. Like even ignoring the fact that Thorfinn's family certainly considers Einar honorary family (Thorfinn's mother having already said as much previously) we know Einar wasn't living homeless during the several months of prior preparation in Iceland.

Of course none of that changes the point of how and why it's understandable Einar is reacting the way he is now (despite it not being a tactically sound decision), but the pedantic in me had to note that Einar would not be literally homeless in the physical sense if/when he returned to Iceland.

Being not literally homeless and having a place you can call home are two different things.

 

[Theozilla]

Being not literally homeless and having a place you can call home are two different things.

Yes, I know that. But the original comment you were replying to was the claim that the settlers have "somewhere to go back to", not whether the said "somewhere" can be personally/emotionally considered and called their own "home". So thus, the claim that Einar "has nowhere to go back to" isn't an entirely accurate statement (for the reasons I previously stated).

As I said, I am not trying to argue that Einar's relationship and connection to Greenland and Iceland is the same as Gudrid and Thorfinn's, but I do think it is important to note and be clear that Einar would not become destitute and homeless if he fled the Vinland village with the rest of the settlers.

 

[kirik]

how the fuck do you read this manga and have a dumbass mindset like this...

what is sarcasm?

Hild was right, It's already 2024 and we don't have enough Thorfinns look alike

 

[kirik]

Man this is gonna be bad. Einar invoking Arnheid on this decision might as well be spitting on her grave. Isn't this very similar to how she got sold into slavery to begin with but on Crack?

Kinda funny to think that had Einar survived he has a non zero chance of turning into Ketil for his Arnheid farm

Never underestimate the blind hatred held by spiteful dysgenic mutants. There's people out there that would burn down the house they're in just because they knew it would kill someone else too. Reading manga won't change that mindset.

 

[crimsondenmite]

It’s sad that one of the important cause of this change in Einar is his refusal to move on from arnheid. His unrequited love is one of the main reason for his action. I am sure he’s had his inferiority about not being as powerful as Thorfinn and that is what is the difference between him and Thorfinn, Thorfinn has taken lives while Einarr has not and won only once in a fight.
I think Einarr and Thorfinn’s clash in ideology was inevitable.

100% its pure irony to call them savages when thorfinn (who had character development but his actions still apply) is the main character and the people that were around him were even worse than being "savage". He claimed Sarcasm yet when in reality its just a racist joke... lmao

 

[Troop57]

Bug-Eyes actually says teplumul (I promisse you) at page 6, the original katakana reads "tepurumuru". Teplumatl is conjugated in the 3rd person. And I think it should be "Nisga" or "Niska" instead of "Nisqa", since the Q in Mi'kmaq stands for /x/ rather than /k/.

 

[poemofdevil]

Damn. Ivar is still a shithead?
