Canute was so moe this chapter.

The preview line was hilarious as well, Boat and Farming arcs are truly the best!

This chapter turned out quite different from what I expected, but it was a great read! :D It was surprisingly lighthearted and funny after all the gore and killing just a few chapters ago. And I loved Canute laughing his ass off, it's interesting how easily they turned Canute from the ultimate villain to a likable... friend? I'm amazed.

Another world, another way of life is truly possible.

What a great manga this is.
"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii

There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

I didn't expect this development at all. The panel with Canute laughing his head off caught me off guard. Now I wonder if Thorfinn and Canute's paths will intersect once again. Also, there's something the translation didn't convey. Just before Thorfinn declared his plan to run away his tone suddenly changed to addressing himself with "ore" and Canute with "omae", which is the reason why Einar became frightened and the vikings readied their weapons to punish Thorfinn for disrespecting the king. Also, just before Canute's epic laughter, Thorfinn mockingly changed his tone and said "sayonara, ou-heika"

I wonder about the Ketil's: are they now off he hook or are they going to accompany Thorfinn? there's also the mystery regarding whether Patil survived the battle or not. Also, the fact that some chapters ago Floki was reminded of Thors showed that Yukimura has plans to have Thorfinn confront Floki about Thors' murder. I can't see Thorfinn setting sail for Vinland without resolving that issue.

Oveall, an epic update and I can't wait to see where Thorfinn would set sail to next.

Like you all said, epic and very unexpected. But it almost felt like the end, except for a few small loose ends. I'm not sure where this is headed, and I'm not going to take a guess either because i know the author has a penchant for taking unexpected routes. planetes was like that, and Vinland saga has been like that as well since the beginning, especially post-Askellad.
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

Well he actually went from shy pussy to ultimate villain to likable friend. That's some character development.

Absolutely right and he's not the only one. Thorfin himself went from whiney boy, to heartless killing-machiene, to human being, to a pacifist looking for peace, how crazy is that? And it's actually believable, that's the best part. So much development for those two.

Yes, I normally loathe pacifist warriors in fiction. Anime and manga tends to be full of them but in Vinland's case it's actually quite well done and believable. I do wonder if Thorfin is going to stay that way though. I kind of want a return to the days of bloodshed and slaughter. Maybe he will end up being like Thors(and Batman for that matter) and beat people with his fists later on. Nevertheless, it's a fantastic story. It could end up surpassing Berserk some day.

I loved how this all played out in the end. There is some hope in that cruel world after all. ^_^

I love how this mangaka can bring in unexpected twists after unexpected twists, while still being believable in their execution.

Thorgil's disappointment was priceless.

And wow, what a refreshing turn of events. Canute and Thorfinn are simply something else.

And thus ends the farmland saga, I think.

Honestly incredible. This chapter was such a satisfying read, and thorfinn finally sets off for vinland. Canute and thorfinn are completely different characters from the askeladd arc in the anime. This is the only manga I've read so I don't have anything to base it off of but this is a masterpiece.

I think Canute understood that even though he is still saying he is trying to create paradise, he is not going on that path. Obviously, due to "The Curse of the Crown." Now he came to his original path due to Thorfinn's peaceful approach. It is nice to see that they are still friends after all that happened between them in the past.
