Vinland Saga takes us on a journey back to the Viking Age, where blood feuds, epic battles, and a quest for a mythical land called Vinland are at the heart of the story. But this anime isn't just about swords and shields; it's a complex tale of revenge, loyalty, and the cost of pursuing one's beliefs.
In this episode, we dissect the compelling characters that make Vinland Saga stand out, from the ruthless yet charismatic Askeladd to the young and determined Thorfinn. We discuss the character development and the moral struggles that each protagonist faces in a world defined by violence.
