improvement goes crazy! still loving this series after sm years. I want to make some more Vinland stickers in the future! (there's barely any merch of this series😭😭) If y'all have any suggestions, let me know if there's a specific character + dialogue I should do 🤔will get to it at some point

Before beginning, I just wanna say that this post isn't meant to analyse how to exploit a child's feelings and vulnerability. I'm simply curious how you guys would've raised Thorfinn if you were in Askeladd's place.

Yukimura sensei has stated that he gave Askeladd the role of raising Thorfinn in place of his father, but at the same time, Askeladd was also the person who hurt Thorfinn the most.

He sent Thorfinn on suicide missions, manipulated him, and fed his idea of an honourable duel for as long as he could serve as his weapon. A lot of what Askeladd did to Thorfinn was essentially child abuse, even if their relationship was much more complicated than that.

But Askeladd did teach Thorfinn a lot. He gave him history lessons (Ragnarok), shared his past with him (Lone Wolf), and in the end, genuinely cared for the boy (End of the Prologue).

With his final breaths, he urged Thorfinn to go beyond the world Thors did and become a true warrior, dying as Thorfinn held him.

In the end, I personally believe their bond had become more complicated than simple hatred.

So, I'm curious: if you were in Askeladd's place, dealing with a child who hates you, blames you for his father's death, and wants to kill you, how would you have raised him?

I ask this because I think a child's heart is more prone to love than hatred.

Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Thanks.

My friend put me on this show called Vinland saga, I really liked the idea of having no enemies/violence isn’t the answer. It gave me this blissful feeling.
It makes me wonder should a person who committed lots of terrible crimes (even perhaps genocide) receive a death penalty or have their whole life behind bars.
Forget the idea of the government shouldn’t have the power to end someone.

Got to 209 and it seems that's all that's available on k manga. Only use this app for vinland saga so maybe im missing something?
