Vinland Saga (ヴィンランド・サガ)

I can see it.

I'm fine.

I can dodge it if I watch closely.

If I don't get hit, it doesn't matter what weapon he uses.

Yeah!

Nice, kid!

You can do it!

That kid's pretty good!

He was able to hit the captain.

Quick guys like him are tough!

This could turn out to be a good fight!

Damn! I can't cut him. He's wearing chain mail underneath.

Too bad, I liked these.

So, you're not afraid of my ax?

You have a lot of guts. You're just like Thors.

You big bastard. Who are you to my father?

He didn't tell you? That's so cold of him.

I heard he's descended from a jarl. He was of noble origin.

Helga's the one from a family of jarls.

Thors rose through the ranks because of his skill with the sword.

What?

Do you want to know more?

Do you?

If you want me to tell you,

you'll have to entertain me some more.

All right, Thorfinn?

I can entertain you.

But it's going to be hard holding back enough to make sure you can still talk.

Do you know what you're saying, kid?

My stomach hurts!

Holding back on the captain? You?

Go easy on us!

You're an idiot! You're an idiot!

Was that funny?

I consider Thorfinn to be a warrior.

Don't laugh!

Thors was stronger than me.

Prove to me that you really are Thors' child,

Thorfinn!

That stupid kid. He came back here to die.

What happened to the prince?

Hey! Over there! Go!

Hold down his leg!

OUT OF THE CRADLE

Do the same over there!

I can hear the sound the of battle nearby.

Stop it already!

Don't you have anything better to do?

Be quiet!

I don't want to open my eyes.

I want to stay asleep...

like this... forever.

Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness Canute.

Ragnar! You're still alive--

This is a dream, isn't it, Ragnar?

Yes. I came to say goodbye.

Are you going? You'll leave me behind?

Are you telling me to live alone in a world like this?

Do you think I can survive?

I...

failed as the person tasked with your education.

I was supposed to raise you as a jarl. But I raised you as a normal child,

like a farmer would raise his own child.

Even though I knew that's not what the king wanted. Please forgive me.

What's wrong with that? You understood my feelings better than my father, the king!

I never wanted to be born into the royal family.

If I had been...

If I had been born as your son,

everything would have been better.

Your Highness.

I'm so happy, Your Highness.

Don't go. I love you.

There are some things that you only realize once you've experienced a loss.

You've noticed already.

Ragnar...

I'm just a dream.

Wait...

The time for you to awake has come.

No... Ragnar!

Come back!

Come back!

I wish you well, Your Highness.

Ragnar...

Don't be afraid! Attack together!

Are you hurt anywhere?

Those men are fighting over you.

The winner is going to take you.

You're a priest. Aren't you going to stop them from fighting?

Is there a way to stop them? It's better to let those who wish to die, die.

I had a dream.

It was a dream about Ragnar.

He said goodbye.

He was a faithful man, even in death.

In this world...

there's no one who loves me anymore.

You've found enlightenment. But you're wrong.

Was the emotion that Ragnar felt towards you love?

In order to keep you safe,

he watched as 62 innocent villagers were killed.

Your Highness.

Love...

What is it?

But you know, these guys weren't that good.

It's not easy to find strong opponents.

We'll never get to Valhalla.

Is the captain's duel still going on?

No way. He should have killed him instantly.

Then what are they so excited about?

I'll go check.

Me too.

Hey! What's going on?

Kill him!

Captain!

You kid!

Stop running away!

Impossible!

How could the captain...?

He's getting beaten up by that kid!

Nice, Thorfinn!

I don't even have five men who'd be a match for you!

It's the same chain mail as before.

I should aim for tendons in his arms and legs.

I tried to go after his vitals in London, and I paid the price.

I can deliver the final blow once I stop him from moving.

However, I know you're strong, but your swordsmanship

is, well, only average.

There's still something missing before you achieve perfection as a warrior.

If that's the case, then, why are you having a hard time?

Good point.

I'm missing something, too.

I thought perhaps I could learn it from you, since you're Thors' child.

Hey, Thorfinn.

What do you think?

What does it mean

to be a true warrior?
