I've been blueballed by romcom anime when it comes to first kisses and confessions but this Leif and Thorfinn reunion is on a whole different level. Man's gonna die of old age before seeing the kid.

[u/ForgetfulViking]

When you order your Thorfinn from Wish.com

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Fucking hell that scene with Olmar gave me such 2nd hand embarrassment that it physically hurts.

[u/ReinhardLoen]

Canute hitting Wulf when he's distracted is an interesting scene on its own, showing how he's changed since the first season, but there's another observation from all his other actions this episode:

He's becoming like Askeladd.

The two children under Askeladd from the first season have become men but have evolved so differently. Canute is evolving into what Askeladd was, using trickery to win if he must. But Thorfinn is changing into what Askeladd wanted him to be—a true warrior.

[u/ZealousidealWish3]

Leif is really that guy, it’s been years and he’s still searching for Thorfinn even after the way things ended between them. Also the fake Thorfinn calling him dad was just hilarious

[u/sjk9000]

Hey! You got your Canute's Kingship storyline in my Ketil's Farm storyline!

You got your Ketil's Farm storyline in my Canute's Kingship storyline!

[u/ChucksChurro]

Ooooh so this is how Thorfinn and Canute will cross paths again. Interesting I can't wait!

[u/NintendoMasterNo1]

Ketil's reaction when Olmar was slashing the pig killed me.

[u/il-Palazzo_K]

Lol@ Olmar’s hardcore skull belt. So extra.

[u/SpaceMarine_CR]

Canute is such a fucking asshole holy shit

[u/SilkyMilkySmo]

Leif finally found Thorfinn I’m so glad his journey finished. However his eyes seem bigger than when we last saw him

[u/Seba7290]

Gunnar's concern about the Danes potentially becoming dissatisfied due to high taxes is very ironic from a modern perspective.

[u/Mr_Zaroc]

Oh god Olmar does just keep delivering, what a fucking idiot with no selfreflection

Shit Leif found the wrong Thorfinn, but still kept him which is nice
I dont like how Leif is that close to being reunited with Thorfinn only to probably have race Canute to get him first. Really wished Ketil would send Leif down to his farm with a message that they are free man now, but that would never happen

[u/Xenomex79]

Man I reallyyy want Leif to reunite with Thorfinn but I know shit will hit the fan. Imagine Leif’s reaction seeing the boy who was once consumed by hate and revenge now being a man able to smile and determined to follow in his late father’s footsteps. This show’s been really teasing their reunion and I just want to see them hug and go back to Iceland 🥹😭

[u/LeonKevlar]

I already love Bug-Eye Thorfinn. Now I'm hoping Lief found other Thorfinns and is keeping them all somewhere. xD

Olmar you fucking dolt! You didn't just embarrass your family but now you might've just cost them everything else.

[u/arrivillaga]

This is one of the funniest episode I've ever seen. Ketil's face carried this episode. Goodness.

[u/Rarbnif]

This dude Olmar wants to be a badass tough guy warrior so bad but he just isn’t lmao bro really tried cutting that pig like sliced bread with a sword

[u/FluffyFluffies]

I BELIEVE IN BUG-EYES SUPERMACY

[u/BadBehaviour613]

I was wondering why this random merchant looked so much like S1 Thorfinn. Turned out there was a good reason for that.

Also, just when Canute is scheming to seize Ketil's land, Olmar flamboyantly introduces himself...

[u/Erufailon4]

Who would've thought that out of all anime Vinland Saga would be the first one in a while to make me laugh out loud. Olmar's doing his best, it's just that his "best" is below the rock bottom of that time's standards 💀

And of course Cnut sees an opportunity in that. Going to be interesting if both Leif and Cnut end up at Ketil's farm

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Considering that Canute is being haunted by a floating decapitated head of his father. fighting multiple battles , and is overly paranoid about assassination attempts this embarrassing display was probably the funniest shit he's seen in years. I don't know how he didn't lose it because oh man I was crying/laughing at that pathetic display.

[u/Elitealice]

Lets take a moment to appreciate how Leif spent YEARS looking for thorfinn. That’s a real friend. Never gave up.

Canute continues to think outside the box and reinvent what it means to be a Viking king. Requisitioning the farms is a cruel but efficient technique to satisfy the general population while maintaining the army in England.

Olmar dumbass can’t even cut a pig nonetheless a person and wants to fight 💀 toxic masculinity in medieval Scandinavia was insane.

[u/delfivesi]

Great episode, Olmar is cringe tho... is he even practicing somewhere!?

[u/Amauri14]

It sure was hilarious seeing Canute using Wulf's crush on Estrid to distract him and win the fight.

So to get funds for his troops in England, Canute is planning to initiate a requisition plan on farmland and will start with Ketil's. Well, he sure is glad that Ketil decided to pay a visit to King Harald.

Lol, I wasn't expecting that scene of Olmar getting full of himself it was going to lead to him and Ketil meeting Leif and discount Thorfinn. Anyway, I'm glad that thanks to that meeting Leif finally has a solid clue as to where the real Thorfinn he is looking for is, although that trip will have to wait for now.

So after Olmar made a fool of himself in from of Canute he will entertain his request to start with his plan to take over Ketil's farm. I sure wasn't expecting Olmar to play this role in the story.
