I have a feeling that Askeladd saw himself in Thorfinn. That we saw in his flashback about his mother, how he wanted revenge on his father. So he perhaps wanted that Thorfinn dosen't go down that same road he went and instead become a true warrior like his father.
yep, he was already too far so he continued with the hope of finding someone like Canute but even then he knows Thorfinn is not too far yet, not until Askeladd is dead by Thorfinn's hands which obviously didn't happen, I feel like Askeladd wished to become a true warrior but he just couldn't, so he helped kids become true warriors using weird things like KILLING THEIR FATHERS anyway he did good in awakening the warriors in both Canute and Thorfinn even when they're complete opposites
I’m so glad you made this, askeladd is my favorite character in anime too. I love how strategic he is, his nonchalant attitude, his somewhat fatherly ways with Thorfinn, just everything about him. Overall he’s an amazing character.
@@PrinceDJay15 Without Askeladd Thorfinn would not have turned out the way he is. Even tho Thors would have thought Thorfinn how to fight he couldn't possibly passed the idea of not killing but due to Askeladd he got much stronger and also understood and overcome the weaknesses he had. And Askeladd is just an amazingly written character. So it's just how you perceive it...
Anime or manga? From the anime I only see Askeladd as complex. Canute's development wasn't very convincing if you stop and think about it. Thorfinn being so monotonous lessened my enjoyment of him as well as my sympathy.
Hamm Well if the Anglo-Saxons (the current English people) hadn’t invaded then his people the Romano-Britons (descendants of Celts) would be the ruling class in England and his mother would the rightful queen and askeladd the heir. Due to the Saxon invasion his people were slaughtered and fled to wales and became the current welsh people and this was 500 years before the current timeline. Now the Danes (Vikings) are pretty much doing to do the English, what the English (Anglo-Saxons) done to the Britons 500 years ago just in a more brutal way. Hope this helps.
he was putting on an act when he said to Canues dad remember? it doesnt matter if he was or not, he said it to keep Canute out of his "schemes" thus saving Caunte and Wales in turn
His last breath and saying before passing, is as clear as if it has happened in reality and is now at a special place in my heart, Earlier everyone who despised him, now respects him, although he has done many many crimes , what good he has done is unforgettable!!!
Askeladd was such an incredible character, they killed him off way too early. For me, he was the biggest reason why Vinland Saga (anime) is so interesting and good.
@@manwithnoname8229 I don't see how killing the best character in the anime would do them well, but still hoping s2 would be good, askelad is jus way too goated bruh 😭🙏
@@supremo5209 Askeladd's death was necessary to actually let Thorfinn develop. Season 2 will cover Thorfinn and you'll see why Askeladd's death is super essential
His death does so much for the series, and acts as a massive catalyst for Thorfinn’s character growth-given that Thorfinn was in character stasis for the entire prologue, he dies at the perfect time to elevate the story. Thorfinn would never grow while Askeladd is alive.
I don't know how many animes I've finished in my entire life but I can say that Askeladd is one of my favourite characters (or character of all the time).... such an amazing character... during his death scene I don't know how many different emotions I had... and this was.... something else
"Compared to Saints, Asklad would look really bad..." Let me introduce you to Princess Olga of Kiev (she was of Viking origin)- she lived in the 800s/900s and was also known as Saint Helga or Saint Olga- born:: c. 890-925 Pskov and died: 969. She took the name "Helen" when she converted to Christianity after decimating (and I mean DECIMATING) her husband's (he was an ass, anyway, though) killers, their subjects (men, women, children, elderly, soldiers, diplomats, civilians: she killed them all!) when they were stupid enough to kill him, then send diplomats to her, to INFORM her that he had been killed, and then had the absolute NERVE to request her to marry their king (because: why not?) after he killed her husband. She killed 2 groups of their envoys that were sent to request her marriage to their king, then she fooled him into thinking she WANTED to marry him, she went there, got his army drunk at a party..... Then had her men kill somewhere near 500 of her enemy's soldiers while they were passed out drunk.... She also killed the king, as well, then destroyed his capital city with all of its residents, by using birds to set fire to every building in the middle of the night, while they were sleeping. Anyone who got out of the flaming town, was captured and sold as slaves, or just outright killed. They canonized her in the church as a saint around 100 years after she died, despite knowing all this. There's more info about her in this wiki link. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olga_of_Kiev There are other saints that did questionable things. However, she was a badass viking princess, so I thought I should point out her existence here, since the 'Lad here was part viking and raised as one. You can also learn about her in this video:: m.th-cam.com/video/0pQv8nUHkUI/w-d-xo.html If you would rather watch her story. So, my point was: while Asklad killed a lot, and was far from saintly: there are some Saints who did as much, or worse. I really loved his character, as well, by the way.
He truly was a legend vinland saga will never be same without him we are all sad that he is gone now rest in peace askellad or should i say Lucious Artorius Castus
I loved the story of Attack on Titan. I loved the animation and music of Demon Slayer. I loved the thrill of The Promised Neverland. And at the end of 2019, i loved this f**king character, Askeladd from Vinland Saga. 2019, The Best anime year i've ever experienced...
I really loved when they were talking about the Romans and passage of time by the moonlight. It was like a brief glimpse of his humanity towards the kid that wanted to murder him.
Askeladd's leadership and charisma won me over in the 1st season. The 2nd season made me fall in love with him after his backstory. He is the best character!!! Also Askeladd x Bjorn bromance forever!!!
KILLING THE KING IN HIS OWN LAND IN FRONT OF MANY SOLDIERS AND DYING WAS SO EPIC AND I CONSIDER HIM AS MY ONE OF THE FAV CHARACTER IN ANIME. LUCIUS ARTORIUS CASTAS THE RIGHT FULL KING OF THE BRITANNIA
This anime surprised me. Once I started watching I assumed Askeladd was going to just be the first villain to die. Boy was I wrong. Very happy ai watched this.
@@taylorkiefer410 i know, it is rly sad that ppl hyping only mainstream, 1more underrated show my personal favorite magi (sinbad my favorite character of all time) , ppl that sow it like the show but noone talk about magi. I know im a litle buyest bcs i love it but i think im right
its because the bigger anime channels are afraid to get on the bad side of fans like demon slayer who ignore phenomenal writing, so they just stay silent or go with the majority. (mostly silent)
What strikes me the most was when Azkeladd told the Icelanders to not waste Thors’ actions as Thors was worth more than a hundred warriors. I saw the disbelief in the eyes of Azkeladd and Bjorn with how such a great warrior as Thors was wasted
Askeladd is what makes Vinland Saga different than most revenge manga. He has depth, he's actually menacing, and he's not cartoonishly evil. He maybe evil from some perspective, but he's still human
Askeladd reminds of a character that i love and hated back and forth, i cant recall who but they, even in good times, never let their guard down, makes tough decisions for the best even if the ones hes close with would hate him for it, maybe it just reminds me of askeladd himself, askeladd is so askeladd he reminds me of askeladd
Better to fight and fall then live without hope. - Oðinn This character here embodies what it means to be a norsemen and it plesently suprises me to see a show let alone a anime depict the norsemen so well
I cried twice in Vilad sage, when askallad won the duel (you know what I am talking about) and when he died. I tried to hate him at so many moments but could not because of how well written he was...
Askellad is a pretty phenomenal character... But I've got to give it to Erwin from aot, how his character came to a conclusion after years of internal conflict, how he led his men into death, giving up his only motivation, unflinching in the face of demise, all for the greater good.... Brilliant
No askeladd surpasses Erwin little bit. Erwin had very trusting followers around him like Levi and hanje bit Askellad didn't have any except for Bjorn. I can tell you that askeladd is the most complex character in the anime. Erwin is little bit predictable
@@varunkharayat4251 I actually strongly agree, and Vinland saga is more of an impactful story anyway(in my opinion at least). But that entire montage with him leading an entire army to their impending demise with that phenomenal direction and score bought me to tears. Again, not to say that his character is deeper or more important than askellad, but j have to disagree with your sentiment that Erwin's character was predictable.( Again, this opinion is entirely my own and I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts on it )
@@bishnupriyaray5123 I agree with you .Even I told one of my friend that if I have to choose one character who was phenomenol and a game changer was Erwin. I like erwin more than Levi and any other character
Askeladd is not rly vilian im manga reader, vinland saga is amazing story whit bunch of amazing characters and it doesnt have the final boss(vilan) like shonen genre
Askeladd is one of my most favorite characters because he is the most human he is morally Greg he isn’t bad and he isn’t good just like humanity itself. He cares for Thorfinn in the end of the season as well. Askeladd did bad things and in the end he hated himself for it like killing villagers was something he loathed but done to keep his men. Depending on your stance on this it could be different for you but to me Askeladd even mentored Thorfinn in the afterlife in season 2. Askeladd is collected, calm and always ahead and I respect him for that he is very ambitious especially for saving wales from invasion.
@@PrinceDJay15 Because everything from his dialogue, to his backstory, to his complexity, and his many conflicting motivations all make for an extremely well written character.
Like how Floki (Loki) wants to kill Thors (Thor) because he could assure his children and grand-children can become future leaders of Jomvikings. Showing somewhat of a jealousy towards Thors just like Loki is towards Thor for being father's favorite and future leader of Asgard.
He's also one of my favorite characters aswell. He was respectful to even a kid, I mean when everyone else laught when thorrfinn said he would kill him he didn't plus he hated vikings(Danish) also his father that's one of the reason he didn't mind breaking that first promise with Thors. He made two promises first he made a promise in name of his father and as a vikings and second from his mother side(Welsh side) which he keept bc he only respects his mother side and hates his fathers. So from beginning he was going to break first promise and even if Thorfinn tries to denies it Askeladd was kinda his father figure as a person that read the manga thorfinn used alot of Askeladds moves so basically what im trying to say is that even tho he did alot of bad thing and is a villain his the best character
I've been waiting for an actual decent protagonist since the days of trigun samurai champloo and cowboy bebop. And this delivered. Askeladd was amazing . Thorkell is surprising abd smarter than he looks. Thorfinn is so complex. Just a great animation to see in 2023
Askeladd is truly a well written character

Like how Floki (Loki) wants to kill Thors (Thor) because he could assure his children and grand-children can become future leaders of Jomvikings. Showing somewhat of a jealousy towards Thors just like Loki is towards Thor for being father's favorite and future leader of Asgard.
There's a little typo in your title, lemme fix it for ya:
*The Best Anime Character.
Askaladd, the Madladd, thorfinn's Askadadd
*Let's make him our king*
He's also one of my favorite characters aswell. He was respectful to even a kid, I mean when everyone else laught when thorrfinn said he would kill him he didn't plus he hated vikings(Danish) also his father that's one of the reason he didn't mind breaking that first promise with Thors. He made two promises first he made a promise in name of his father and as a vikings and second from his mother side(Welsh side) which he keept bc he only respects his mother side and hates his fathers. So from beginning he was going to break first promise and even if Thorfinn tries to denies it Askeladd was kinda his father figure as a person that read the manga thorfinn used alot of Askeladds moves so basically what im trying to say is that even tho he did alot of bad thing and is a villain his the best character
Best character of the year unanimously
I wish the video covered his back story as it mirors Thorfinn's motives a lot.
I also feel that Askeladd didn't kill Thorfinn when he appeared on their boat to keep his promise to Thors.
Myyy dude. Jomsviking pronounced YOMES-viking
And thanks again for the great content. Great video!
I love that character so much ❤💪🏻🔥 Askeladd best anime character so cool
Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!
No arguments he's the best cant find anyone better
Such a brave sacrifice
For sure
This is why Vinland Saga is one of my favorite anime’s of all time
I've been waiting for an actual decent protagonist since the days of trigun samurai champloo and cowboy bebop. And this delivered. Askeladd was amazing . Thorkell is surprising abd smarter than he looks. Thorfinn is so complex. Just a great animation to see in 2023
If you have watch Vinland Saga you would know that Asklad is not a Viking but Roman
You misunderstood what he said
