The Jomsvikings were a real thing. They didn't necessarily all have the same equipment like that though. They were a brotherhood of raiders who had their own base on the Polish coast, away from the Norse lands and the fortified raiding bases of the King of Denmark. They were sworn to fight and die alongside each other, independently of the kings of Norway, Sweden or Denmark unless they got a really good offer. They were wiped out in the naval battle of Fyrisvellir backing Styrbjorn the Strong in his bid to take the throne of Norway. Once in the gang always in the gang is what the show is saying.
Vinland is actually Canada, Vikings were technically the first Europeans to discover Canada and northern usa hundreds of years before Columbus Many of the shows battles/ locations and Also most characters are actual people in history and Norse folklore.
1. The english killed the vikings because they invaded their island first and killed their men, women and children. It's basically revenge for what they did and fighting for your homeland. At this point in history the vikings were invading the British Isles. 2. The vikings are eager to fight because that is their culture and customs. It was normal then, as was owning slaves.
Not necessarily. The Norse had already had settlements there since the 800s. Most English nowadays have Danish blood in fact. It’s quite interesting actually, there are records of the native men disliking the Norse, because they were cleaner and better groomed than the natives, so the native women would prefer them. (These might have been from France actually, don’t quite remember, but it shows that they were at least having fairly friendly interactions with the locals.) There is also a letter addressed to Æthelred I of North Umbria, where a scholar, Alcuin, complains about Englishmen copying Norse fashion. That letters from the late 8th century. Also, “Vikings” isn’t really a culture. It’s a profession. The majority of Scandinavians weren’t Vikings, they were farmers, fishers etc. Saying that Viking is a culture is the same as saying that pirate is a culture. Edit: What I meant with my first couple of sentences is that they weren’t quite “invading” at that point, it was that the Danes were expanding. Look up Danelaw, this was a part of Denmark from the mid 9th century to the mid 10th century. And of course we have Cnut (Canute), who was king of England, Denmark and Norway.
The vikings are eager for war because they believe the only way for them to get to Valhalla (Heaven) is to die in battle. It is also profitable. Thors is an odd one out in this situation.
Valhalla isn't really the same as heaven, sure maybe if you enjoy fighting but otherwise it's more of a boot camp where warriors train by killing each other only to be resurrected have a feast and do it over again the next day until the battle of ragnarok comes. It wasn't really interpreted the same way Christians would see heaven, it was seen as a honour and a duty more than a paradise.
you missed a few thousand > signs. Demon Slayer is nothing special at all - literally the same as any other half decent shonen, bringing nothing new to the table at all. Vinland Saga is character development 101.
1 Angsty boy coming right up! Always sad to see parents try to give kids advice in these anime and the kid not accepting it. Can't wait to read the roasts about you guys mixing those 2 characters up 😂
The Vikings were mostly traders or farmers in the unforgiving landscape of Scandinavia but when it came to war or battle, it was part of their religion. To die a good death in Norse Mythology meant a great 'party' reward in the afterlife.
Aethelred the Unready did order the massacre of all Danes living in England on 13,November ,1002 (St.Brice's Day). Mind you these Danes had been there for several generations at this point. They knew no home other than England. King Sweyn Forkbeard Invaded England in 1003 response.
Late but this show goes off the basis that the viewer knows basic Viking Lore, while some aspects are exaggerated for entertainment, it does give insight to aspects of Viking History. Vikings had a very battle-centric lifestyle. In addition to Vinland, "Vikings" or "Last Kingdom" are very good portrayals as well if you want to get into a good Viking shows
I know this is a year old but, do any of you speak Japanese? Is this Not a Netflix show? Just watch it in English, the voice actors are amazing and if there ever was an anime that Should be in English it's the one about Vikings invading England!!!!!
That guy that is "friends" with Thors isn't who you think he is. That's someone else
We figure this out wayyyyy later 😅🥲 -Sam

Vinland saga was so underrated when it came out still think it should have won anime of year 2019
There was a lot of stiff competition with mob psycho 100 season 2, attack on titan season 3, Demon Slayer and devil man crybaby
@@jordyrodriguez7203 only ones that were part of the vote was demon slayer and mob , but those story's I didn't like as much as vinland saga
@@rctalent94 nah mob was where it's at number 1 for me
They won villian of the year which is pretty good
@@pieck5460 who? I thought Isabella won that
This is how the vikings were lol they weren't playing games lol 😆

More specifically Newfoundland, is what the land is called in general.

Thors grabbed the blade like that to make a point to thorfinn, he showed him the blood on purpose.
War=bad but thorfinn young kid he not know
Bad English on purpose
Vinland saga > demon slayer
i read both mangas

Vinland saga is a masterpiece

YOU REALLY DIDN'T CUT DOWN THORS'S DIALOGUE ABOUT THE ENEMIES....
For the vikings, dying on the battlefield means that they will be able to go to "Valhalla" (heaven) that's why they are looking forward to the war
