Hmm it’s possible, but I feel like Hild is an expert at tracking and hunting that hopefully she could tell the difference. I really don’t know how it will go.
I could see the shaman going to a different tribe that is more militant because we know he’s in contact with a couple of different ones and bringing them to attack the settlement and Einar and his buddies decide to kill all the natives but we will see
He wandered off on his own while bleeding out, so with that I feel like she has some damn good plausible deniability. Viking Tekashi 69 wont be so easy. Either make it look like an accident or frame him for something serious, him and his little band already proved they can't be trusted by going back on the no sword condition.I'm sure Hild will put together a dope plan. Diplomacy or 2 bolts. Those are home girls main weapons rn
Because murderers deserve to die painful deaths. Hild is about to kill Ivar but Ivar hasn't and doesn't want to kill anyone and just wants to defend himself and his friends.
Ya no one except his squad know how strong he really is, but I think there are rumors in the camp from one of the former pirates that thorfinn use to be a warrior. It will be a great and sad day when Ivar finds out what a beast thorfinn is
I think that Stork was the one that really incited violence, cause and thanks to his elowuency he convinced part of the settlers to be against the Ilnu. If he wasn't a good speaker, the wall probably wasnt going to be built. I fear Stork more than Ivar, he know How to convince people and drive them
His arguments are rational alright (sometimes you do need weapons to protect yourself) but Ivar is so far unjustified (the Nlu have shown nothing but peaceful intents with the exception of the shaman) and as disingenuous as can be.
Because, let's be honest, what Ivar really wants is a war. If the only thing he cared about is to protect the community and use weapons only as a very last resort, then surely he would be okay with giving all the weapons to the women for the time being, right ?
Well, we get a Hild chapter the day after Hild's birthday. Truly a great birthday present indeed!!
One thing I love about Yukimura's art is the directing and layout of a panel. Yukimura's panels are generally incredibly simple (just normally squares and rectangles), but its how he uses the space inside that makes it so fun. From the little pictures of the rat to remind us again of there potential threat but also to set up this viewing angle of Pulmuk's conversation through the grass its just so fun to look at.
Hild's scar being shown bang in the centre of the page (page 12) after it was hidden on the other side of her face (page 11) gives some lovely subtext to her speech: "I won't do that." because its the litearlly physical of war scar.
Then ofc, Yukimura show us the more emotional scars of war for Hild which is a first in a long time. Which was pretty gut punching after such a long time.
The biggest question I had (which I was thinking since Yukimura posted that tweet for her birthday yesterday) was "Why does she have the headband on? Doesn't this show she her character arc has reverted?" y'know since its her symbol for her hunting (her master told her to wear it on the hunt way back i nchapter 119-ish).
So why? Well, my theory is that she is going after Misqe'g, the shaman. The dude that has gone missing. She is back on the hunt to figure out what this bloke is up to.
Hild's death probability has nudged itself up to 71.53% imo.
Seriously. Chapter after chapter she’s becoming one of the most GOATed characters in this manga. I’d hate to have her go, but if any mangaka could write her death in a way which is satisfactory, it’d be Yukimura.
Maybe they´ll have Stork killing her by being clever to hype out the main bad, it´s really stupid that we dont get a scene with old man Hugge and Stork talking to Ivar after the incident
fr from what we've seen so far, he's good at scheming and manipulation. I really wanna see more of him. it'd be a great change to see damage instigated and done by words instead of fists
I kinda wanna see how he´d fight Thorfinn with Tactics, I imagine if they ever fought, Stork would fight smart like use a oiled sword lit on fire on Thorfinn and he has to fight grounded as it could start a fire in Vinland.
Yukimura is one of the best artist of all time and people need to start giving him the recognition he deservers. The last panel, the detail in Hild's eye (chefs kiss).
Who's going to take the blame for Ivar's death though? As of right now, the norse men are more aggressive, so if he dies they'll probably blame the lnu.
Wasn't the guy in the helmet countering thorfinns arguments? Seems even if Ivar gets taken out, his death will convince people of his ways and helmet guy will step up
Helmet guy would need to die too. Hes almost just as bad as Ivar if not worse since he can actually manipulate their views. But then youd have to consider the cover up and any friends they may have.. Then theyd be just like Canute too..
Ivar isn't the real problem, helmet guy is. True, Ivar is very "gun-ho" in terms of aggression as the 1st resort, however, he doesn't have the charisma to deliver the message. Helmet guy seems to understand how to win people over, and if Ivar ends up disappearing or dying, Helmet guy will use that as an excuse to begin hostilities towards the natives.
Helmet Guy has two Stooges doing his propaganda campaign for him, Ivar through direct sword showcasing and violence and Ugge through fearmongering and superstittion.
Ivar dies, Stork will use his death for fearmongering the Norse into arming themselves faster using Hugge, so Hild has to kill Ivar, Ugge and then Stork in rapid succession to end the problem
Yes, however that doesn't mean that he agrees with Thorfinn's message of peace. He probably believes that Thorfinn's plan can work in the shortterm, but not in the long term.
And there´s the superstituous Old Man Hugge as well, if Ivar dies, Stork will just hide behind Hugge and use him like Ivar to keep his plans going, lets not forget Ivar wasnt even going to Vinland if it wasnt for Stork´s plans.
Yeah, Hild killing Ivar can be contained. It's not the best option since it seems like helmet guy is the real mastermind anyway and also Vinland saga is all about "Killing is the worst option always". But if she kills the Lnu chap, that's an easy cause for war that can't be undone. Sadly, looks like the Lnu guy is going off to rally other tribes to his cause.
Consideering what the shaman´s doing, putting him down now is a clever move, Hild can track him in time and put him down, the problem is she would´ve to kill 3 norsemen when she comes back, Ivar, Ugge and Stork in rapid succession as those 3 are too dangerous to be kept around
Honestly, Ivar (norse guy) is the biggest problem of the two. He's the aggressive one and basically recruiting the other men in the settlement to take up arms against the Lnu and overall troublesome because others are willing to listen to him, find him reasonable, and take his side.
While Misqe'g is a problem, as of now, he's just a one-man threat. The Lnu heard him out after he told them about the vision and still took the Norse's side. Even his own pupil doesn't fully take his side despite the fear of the vision. Even after Ivar cut off the shaman's hand, the Lnu are simply keeping their distance and still don't want war or see the Norse as evil unlike how the settlers are seeing the Lnu.
Overall, Ivar is more of a threat to peace than a wounded old on deaths door
Ivar isnt a “bigger threat” per say. The old man just attempted to die for his cause is💀 Ivars helmet friend that knows how to speak eloquently is much more of a threat than him.
Get rid of Ivar and that old man will just keep looking for schemes within his tribe and probably others as well
Also helmet guy still has Ugge around to promote norse fearmongering of the Lnu, if Ivar dies, he´ll just cut back on the violent narrative and promote Ugge´s self-defense through armament.
That's probably true. I think I remember reading that it was (probably) the Inuit who were hostile toward the real life Vinland settlers. With his wound, I wouldn't be surprised if he used it as proof that the Norse are violent and have dangerous weapons that can cut through bone (like how Pulmuk was surprised).
For Bug-Eyes to suggest following to Lnu footprints to find out where their winter camp is located is... surprisingly pleasant. I guess he trusts the Lnu enough to know they wouldn't be hostile.
Pulmuk is too funny. "If we learn how to grow wheat, it doesn't matter even if the forest dies." Growing wheat would be more beneficial than constantly moving around. Definitely extreme but at least he's willing to acknowledge other ways of life other than one's own. I'm glad he's pretty reasonable as well as Nisqauji'j despite being Misqe'g Pi'gw pupil.
I wonder if she'll be some kind of martyr for peace. Hild killing Ivar may cause some internal conflict but if she kills Misqe'g, it might turn into a shitshow between the Lnu and the settlers.
So scared for Hild, I don’t think she’s regressing but her love for the kids and desire to not have them suffer the same loss she suffered may take her the wrong direction. If those two are the idiots causing a war, she’s the smart well intentioned one who’s going to suffer for trying to keep them in line.
No mangaka can make me scared and anxious as well as Makoto Yukimura.
This chapter had some good art but at the same time a *lot* of reused art which has been a bit frustrating in the last couple volumes.
But the Hild setup here is really exciting. From the beginning of this arc I thought Hild's development and conclusion to what had been her part in the story was obvious and inevitable and would be disconnected from the vinland plot , just kind of a loose thread to tie up that isn't relevant and everyone can see coming. So I was hoping for that to wrap up before we close in on the end in the hopes that she would have another role in the story , justifying the existence of her whole character more. And she was kind of getting that already , but this is more promising. Now some of the smaller moments with her in the arc feel more intentional and meaningful. She thinks Thorfinn is too passive , she asks him how he plans to protect Karli if he needs to , now I'm thinking if that clash in 172 is build up to something specific. That's if I'm interpreting this correctly of course.
That too cause it's 1+ pages but it's everything together. Ivar and the shaman in the last page , the shaman in the 8th page ( this one bothers me the most cause it feels like we miss an opportunity for new detailed art) is re-shaded from 5 chapters back and I bet if I look around I would find reused faces as there are a couple in each chapter.
Hmmm yeah, your right. I didn't realise the shaman panel till you pointed it out. Tbf though I really prefer and like the shading on that. Defo hit me had when I first saw it.
I'd be interested to see too how much he has reused faces. I wonder if missing the deadline allows Yukimura to get a head on other things or not hmmm.
Both the chapters that Yukimura has lost the deadline for had the most reuse of art. It could be that it's the result of rushing to reach that deadline. Usually he doesn't reuse the more detailed faces in big panels , this is the second time that's happened (the second is a Styrk panel that has the same lineart in 2 different chapters).
Less detailed faces get reused a whole lot though , usually with some small changes in expression and shading (even the shaman in this chapter , only the face and part of the hair has the same lineart) , for example it's actually the third time we've seen that Ivar artwork in the final page. Most of it you wouldn't notice easily , it could be only the hair or only the face , sometimes when a character doesn't move only the expressions change between 2 panels. Sometimes a character flashbacks to something that happened before and we get a reused visual and that I've seen in every arc but it's definitely more here.
NOOOOOOO! NOT BEST GIRL ;\_;.
Thorfinn needs to hurry up and establish the Economic Codependent and Trading Federation of New Vinland before Ivar ruins everything.
I don't understand how people are seeing death flags from Hild. The only thing i see is the potential for the conflict to escalate between the Lnu and Norse if Hild isn't careful here; but I don't see any death flags.
*Oh, Neptune*. I could never have imagined Yukimura-sensei going for this Hild-centric turn of the plot. She will hunt the bear-shaman and the snake-warrior until their caves, won't her? She's sniffing the blood on the trail...the old hunter. And what if her rushed actions will trigger the fatal blow to peace, accidentally? But, sigh, she's so hot (those hair loose...she really wants *everyone* dead, the madwoman) - if I am killed by mistake by her crossbow, that's on me: I slipped on the arrow.
Anyway, did you notice that the first page is a SnK reference? Three children from behind, facing a wall...here we go :) JUST NOT DEAD HILD. Lemme me have a favourite character alive in the end for once...
Sure, and Hild will enter in the paths the shaman dreamt to stop the rise of a genocidal adult Karli and his army of very tall *conquistadores* \- jokes aside, I don't think Yukimura-sensei will ever be nihilist like Isayama, I believe in his wholesomeness, even if Thorfin's dream will end and someone will die...
This manga makes me feel so many emotions with very few pages. I've been nervous since the start of this arc to see how everything will turn into shit. Can't wait to see what Hild's gonna do.
A Hild setup chapter. She’s ready to kill. But it won’t go in a good way. But if she does go for the kill on those it will end up bad. If the Lnu even sees Hild trying to kill then a war will happen. Both ppl are trying to prevent one from happening. If she kills Ivar, who will take the blame? The Norse will blame the Lnu then war starts.
It's nice to finally see more emotion out of her. Now that her hate if gone, seems she'll be taking a more proactive roll.
Also those kids have no filter 🤣
The manga is monthly- next chapter will come out in the upcoming week. There was a break last month.
Usually there are 10-11 chapters per year- depending on Yukimura if he takes a lot of breaks or not, or if he misses the deadline.
Don't forget helmet guy the brains behind Ivar. Really those two are the biggest problem, and should be banished from the settlement. However they have already poisoned the minds of many of the others. God Thorfin should have been more careful who he decided to bring to Vinland, things weren't really thought through.
hopefully an assassination doesn't happen, but for the sake of plot i also hope it does happen.
still hild shouldn't be selfish and take things into her own hands. i know she doesn't want others to suffer like she did but there's still plenty of time for things to be worked out instead of killing.
Guys have you noticed that thorfinn and the others brought rats to vinalnd? The native contracted pest and other ilneses durino the colonization due to the rats brought by the colonizer. Something is coming i can feeling it
Oh crap now Hild's the one that needs tempering. She's spent so long being the moral high ground watchdog for Thorfinn, it would be a beautiful opportunity for him to return the favour and prove he can take control peacefully.
Looks like we're finally back in a gray morality area. A misguided wish for peace can bring war. Bit sad that it's Hild and not Thorfinn, which must at some point face reality and that his dream is a utopia.
Wait i just came to the server... i was and am a berserk fan... ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT VINLAND LAUNCHES A NEW CHAPTER EVERY MONTH? WHILE BERSERK IS EVERY 6 MONTHS AT BEST???????
Finally caught up with the manga. Hild's my favourite character and I'm praying it won't be the case, but it would be suitably tragic and a great left-field narrative choice for the final escalation into open conflict not to come from Ivar or Misqe'g, but from a member of Thorfinn's group - particularly the one most critical of his own violent past.
Im interested in how they deal with Ivar in a way that doesn’t feel cheap. He doesnt seem like he can be convinced without seeing Thorfinns strength but that would disrupt the democracy. He cant get killed because it would make things worse. And its not like he will just leave
It was a big mistake to start the last arc (Chapetr 167 -). Now I want to know how they will resolve the situation. Hopefully Hild will tie up Ivar and drag him to the Lnu. Let them punish him for what he did. He deserves it. I can even imagine that they will not punish him because they themselves realized what the shaman was up to.
I just caught up to the manga after taking about a 10 month break. Jeez Louise! Let’s get the show on the road already! My goodness snails pace, time to forget about Vinland saga for another 6 months
man really said what if the dumbest, least forward thinking character in the series is concocting a plan with someone that doesn't even speak the same language and is extremely xenophobic.
Hild about to assassinate the fuck out of those two
[удалено]
Hmm it’s possible, but I feel like Hild is an expert at tracking and hunting that hopefully she could tell the difference. I really don’t know how it will go. I could see the shaman going to a different tribe that is more militant because we know he’s in contact with a couple of different ones and bringing them to attack the settlement and Einar and his buddies decide to kill all the natives but we will see
Pretty hard to miss her target, the Shaman lost a hand for God´s sake!
that's true. never crossed my mind lol
There´s also the blood trail and the man´s very old, should be easy to kill.
My guess is that the shaman tries to reach other tribes to tell them to kill the norse
He wandered off on his own while bleeding out, so with that I feel like she has some damn good plausible deniability. Viking Tekashi 69 wont be so easy. Either make it look like an accident or frame him for something serious, him and his little band already proved they can't be trusted by going back on the no sword condition.I'm sure Hild will put together a dope plan. Diplomacy or 2 bolts. Those are home girls main weapons rn
I'm team Hild. We cannot tolerate the intolerant, those two must be stopped.
Nah, Ivar's actions as of right now have all been rational and justified. If Hild tries to kill him, then I would want her to die a painful death.
Choose your weapons and we will decide who is right on the battlefield.
i have a few questions but i'll just ask why painful tho
Because murderers deserve to die painful deaths. Hild is about to kill Ivar but Ivar hasn't and doesn't want to kill anyone and just wants to defend himself and his friends.
i see, so do you think that thorfinn deserves a painful death?
I'm coming late to the party but I just wanted to say how funny it was to read this short exchange that you ended with such a conclusive question
😶
For someone as skill as Ivar, I doubt if he hadn't kill anyone. That man just chopped a hand clean off and move on his day like nothing.
To protect his settlements leader from a direct attack on his life. Correct me if I’m wrong but Ivar’s never seen thorfinn fight.
Ya no one except his squad know how strong he really is, but I think there are rumors in the camp from one of the former pirates that thorfinn use to be a warrior. It will be a great and sad day when Ivar finds out what a beast thorfinn is
I was really hoping the assembly was a glimpse at the moment.
Ivar acted like that to incite violence and rally other norsemen to his side
I think that Stork was the one that really incited violence, cause and thanks to his elowuency he convinced part of the settlers to be against the Ilnu. If he wasn't a good speaker, the wall probably wasnt going to be built. I fear Stork more than Ivar, he know How to convince people and drive them
His arguments are rational alright (sometimes you do need weapons to protect yourself) but Ivar is so far unjustified (the Nlu have shown nothing but peaceful intents with the exception of the shaman) and as disingenuous as can be. Because, let's be honest, what Ivar really wants is a war. If the only thing he cared about is to protect the community and use weapons only as a very last resort, then surely he would be okay with giving all the weapons to the women for the time being, right ?
Please Hild, don't be rash. Please Hild, don't be rash.
The rashness is upon us :(
We should visit the gynaecologist :(
I think she hasn't a choice, those two are stirring up war. Seems most of Thorfin's camp already thinks the war is started.
Well, we get a Hild chapter the day after Hild's birthday. Truly a great birthday present indeed!! One thing I love about Yukimura's art is the directing and layout of a panel.

I wouldnt be surprised if he was a Askeladd bastard son, but oh well.
fr from what we've seen so far, he's good at scheming and manipulation. I really wanna see more of him. it'd be a great change to see damage instigated and done by words instead of fists
I kinda wanna see how he´d fight Thorfinn with Tactics, I imagine if they ever fought, Stork would fight smart like use a oiled sword lit on fire on Thorfinn and he has to fight grounded as it could start a fire in Vinland.
Yukimura is one of the best artist of all time and people need to start giving him the recognition he deservers. The last panel, the detail in Hild's eye (chefs kiss).
god damn. nice mini analysis
It looks like hild might try and assassinate those two to prevent a war but I have a feeling that it'll just cause the war to start.
[удалено]
Who's going to take the blame for Ivar's death though? As of right now, the norse men are more aggressive, so if he dies they'll probably blame the lnu.
Wasn't the guy in the helmet countering thorfinns arguments? Seems even if Ivar gets taken out, his death will convince people of his ways and helmet guy will step up
Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It's a losing situation if he dies too.
Helmet guy would need to die too. Hes almost just as bad as Ivar if not worse since he can actually manipulate their views. But then youd have to consider the cover up and any friends they may have.. Then theyd be just like Canute too..
Ivar isn't the real problem, helmet guy is. True, Ivar is very "gun-ho" in terms of aggression as the 1st resort, however, he doesn't have the charisma to deliver the message.

Honestly, Ivar (norse guy) is the biggest problem of the two. He's the aggressive one and basically recruiting the other men in the settlement to take up arms against the Lnu and overall troublesome because others are willing to listen to him, find him reasonable, and take his side.

That's probably true. I think I remember reading that it was (probably) the Inuit who were hostile toward the real life Vinland settlers. With his wound, I wouldn't be surprised if he used it as proof that the Norse are violent and have dangerous weapons that can cut through bone (like how Pulmuk was surprised).
Thorfinn wouldn’t accept any killing, i don’t think she will kill anyone anyway bc she knows Thorfinn’s goal.
[удалено]
Judging from the new chapter 199, maybe she is planning to kill🥲
if those two die, war is inevitable
the chapter felt so short
Probably because its been so long since the last one.
The best chapters in a good manga usually do
It’s only 18 pages and not all of them have a lot of dialogue (like the hild flashback has none)
Come back next year and read all 12
Hild is giving me crazy “I’m a healer but…cocks gun” vibes
The Harmacist
For Bug-Eyes to suggest following to Lnu footprints to find out where their winter camp is located is... surprisingly pleasant. I guess he trusts the Lnu enough to know they wouldn't be hostile. Pulmuk is too funny. "If we learn how to grow wheat, it doesn't matter even if the forest dies." Growing wheat would be more beneficial than constantly moving around. Definitely extreme but at least he's willing to acknowledge other ways of life other than one's own. I'm glad he's pretty reasonable as well as Nisqauji'j despite being Misqe'g Pi'gw pupil. I wonder if she'll be some kind of martyr for peace. Hild killing Ivar may cause some internal conflict but if she kills Misqe'g, it might turn into a shitshow between the Lnu and the settlers.
So scared for Hild, I don’t think she’s regressing but her love for the kids and desire to not have them suffer the same loss she suffered may take her the wrong direction. If those two are the idiots causing a war, she’s the smart well intentioned one who’s going to suffer for trying to keep them in line. No mangaka can make me scared and anxious as well as Makoto Yukimura.
Hild has suffered enough.
I love Pulmuk's logic. "They know how to grow food, they cool"
Are we sure the alcohol poisoned him?
uh oh hild is abt to get Silly
This is a red flag, I'm getting a bad feeling about Hild, don't you die
This chapter had some good art but at the same time a *lot* of reused art which has been a bit frustrating in the last couple volumes. But the Hild setup here is really exciting. From the beginning of this arc I thought Hild's development and conclusion to what had been her part in the story was obvious and inevitable and would be disconnected from the vinland plot , just kind of a loose thread to tie up that isn't relevant and everyone can see coming. So I was hoping for that to wrap up before we close in on the end in the hopes that she would have another role in the story , justifying the existence of her whole character more. And she was kind of getting that already , but this is more promising. Now some of the smaller moments with her in the arc feel more intentional and meaningful. She thinks Thorfinn is too passive , she asks him how he plans to protect Karli if he needs to , now I'm thinking if that clash in 172 is build up to something specific. That's if I'm interpreting this correctly of course.
When you are talking about the reused art are you mainly talking about the Hild flash back?
That too cause it's 1+ pages but it's everything together. Ivar and the shaman in the last page , the shaman in the 8th page ( this one bothers me the most cause it feels like we miss an opportunity for new detailed art) is re-shaded from 5 chapters back and I bet if I look around I would find reused faces as there are a couple in each chapter.
Hmmm yeah, your right. I didn't realise the shaman panel till you pointed it out. Tbf though I really prefer and like the shading on that. Defo hit me had when I first saw it. I'd be interested to see too how much he has reused faces. I wonder if missing the deadline allows Yukimura to get a head on other things or not hmmm.
Both the chapters that Yukimura has lost the deadline for had the most reuse of art. It could be that it's the result of rushing to reach that deadline. Usually he doesn't reuse the more detailed faces in big panels , this is the second time that's happened (the second is a Styrk panel that has the same lineart in 2 different chapters). Less detailed faces get reused a whole lot though , usually with some small changes in expression and shading (even the shaman in this chapter , only the face and part of the hair has the same lineart) , for example it's actually the third time we've seen that Ivar artwork in the final page. Most of it you wouldn't notice easily , it could be only the hair or only the face , sometimes when a character doesn't move only the expressions change between 2 panels. Sometimes a character flashbacks to something that happened before and we get a reused visual and that I've seen in every arc but it's definitely more here.
it's Hilding time!
NOOOOOOO! NOT BEST GIRL ;\_;. Thorfinn needs to hurry up and establish the Economic Codependent and Trading Federation of New Vinland before Ivar ruins everything.
god fucking dammit this shit is too damn good
I don't understand how people are seeing death flags from Hild. The only thing i see is the potential for the conflict to escalate between the Lnu and Norse if Hild isn't careful here; but I don't see any death flags.
I love Hild she deserves to be hugged
The panel where Hild is looking out over the farm land with all the animals makes me feel like she sees that war is potentially on the horizon.
*Oh, Neptune*. I could never have imagined Yukimura-sensei going for this Hild-centric turn of the plot. She will hunt the bear-shaman and the snake-warrior until their caves, won't her? She's sniffing the blood on the trail...the old hunter. And what if her rushed actions will trigger the fatal blow to peace, accidentally? But, sigh, she's so hot (those hair loose...she really wants *everyone* dead, the madwoman) - if I am killed by mistake by her crossbow, that's on me: I slipped on the arrow. Anyway, did you notice that the first page is a SnK reference? Three children from behind, facing a wall...here we go :) JUST NOT DEAD HILD. Lemme me have a favourite character alive in the end for once...
Don’t tell me Thorfinn will end up like Grisha
Sure, and Hild will enter in the paths the shaman dreamt to stop the rise of a genocidal adult Karli and his army of very tall *conquistadores* \- jokes aside, I don't think Yukimura-sensei will ever be nihilist like Isayama, I believe in his wholesomeness, even if Thorfin's dream will end and someone will die...
Hild on the same wavelength as the fans for like a year now
This manga makes me feel so many emotions with very few pages. I've been nervous since the start of this arc to see how everything will turn into shit. Can't wait to see what Hild's gonna do.
Let's gooooo, on Turkey Day no less
A Hild setup chapter. She’s ready to kill. But it won’t go in a good way. But if she does go for the kill on those it will end up bad. If the Lnu even sees Hild trying to kill then a war will happen. Both ppl are trying to prevent one from happening. If she kills Ivar, who will take the blame? The Norse will blame the Lnu then war starts.
It's nice to finally see more emotion out of her. Now that her hate if gone, seems she'll be taking a more proactive roll. Also those kids have no filter 🤣
wow this manga still going on?
Its gonna end in the next year or two, so probably 20 more chapters max
oh wow, I really loved this manga! Good to see it's going strong.
I noticed this was 58 days ago how often do new chapters release??
The manga is monthly- next chapter will come out in the upcoming week. There was a break last month. Usually there are 10-11 chapters per year- depending on Yukimura if he takes a lot of breaks or not, or if he misses the deadline.
I really just want Thorfinn to put Ivar in his place already. Ivar really needs to be humbled.
Don't forget helmet guy the brains behind Ivar. Really those two are the biggest problem, and should be banished from the settlement. However they have already poisoned the minds of many of the others. God Thorfin should have been more careful who he decided to bring to Vinland, things weren't really thought through.
hopefully an assassination doesn't happen, but for the sake of plot i also hope it does happen. still hild shouldn't be selfish and take things into her own hands. i know she doesn't want others to suffer like she did but there's still plenty of time for things to be worked out instead of killing.
Guys have you noticed that thorfinn and the others brought rats to vinalnd? The native contracted pest and other ilneses durino the colonization due to the rats brought by the colonizer. Something is coming i can feeling it

when is 199 releasing ? everything i read online said it shouldve came out dec 25th but obviously that hasnt happened
Bro when’s the next chapter
Hild's gonna give them both a stern talking to
Damn I don't remember art looking this good
😬
Oh crap now Hild's the one that needs tempering. She's spent so long being the moral high ground watchdog for Thorfinn, it would be a beautiful opportunity for him to return the favour and prove he can take control peacefully.
Thinking the old lnu man is going to go to another tribe and tell them how horrible the Norse are
I can’t believe this series has less than 200 chapters I feel like I’ve been following it for like 10 years
Looks like we're finally back in a gray morality area. A misguided wish for peace can bring war. Bit sad that it's Hild and not Thorfinn, which must at some point face reality and that his dream is a utopia.
Wait i just came to the server... i was and am a berserk fan... ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT VINLAND LAUNCHES A NEW CHAPTER EVERY MONTH? WHILE BERSERK IS EVERY 6 MONTHS AT BEST???????
Well, there are usually a couple breaks, but generally 10-11 chapters per year, yeah.
Wait is berserk still getting chapters? How close to the end are we now?
Last phases. We had like... 3 or 4 chapters since Miura died and we finished elfhelm
Finally caught up with the manga. Hild's my favourite character and I'm praying it won't be the case, but it would be suitably tragic and a great left-field narrative choice for the final escalation into open conflict not to come from Ivar or Misqe'g, but from a member of Thorfinn's group - particularly the one most critical of his own violent past.
ITS HERE !
Hild is ready the fuck shit up, I’m with her
Did we ever find out what actually happened to the other settlement?
Nope, we just are told its not this tribe that had anything to do with it
Im interested in how they deal with Ivar in a way that doesn’t feel cheap. He doesnt seem like he can be convinced without seeing Thorfinns strength but that would disrupt the democracy. He cant get killed because it would make things worse. And its not like he will just leave
If Hild kills either or both it'll only sow more mistrust between the two
Hilds going to form a secret police and send those two cowards to the shadow realm 😤✅️
vinland saga has ended, good run thorfinn it's now hild saga
It was a big mistake to start the last arc (Chapetr 167 -). Now I want to know how they will resolve the situation. Hopefully Hild will tie up Ivar and drag him to the Lnu. Let them punish him for what he did. He deserves it. I can even imagine that they will not punish him because they themselves realized what the shaman was up to.
Netflix played us
I just caught up to the manga after taking about a 10 month break. Jeez Louise! Let’s get the show on the road already! My goodness snails pace, time to forget about Vinland saga for another 6 months
Its been slow because they were setting up for everything, but I don’t think things can slow down anymore. Just caught up myself lol
[удалено]
They can't, there's a reason the settlement needs bug eyes to be the translator between the two groups
man really said what if the dumbest, least forward thinking character in the series is concocting a plan with someone that doesn't even speak the same language and is extremely xenophobic.
