Vinland Saga #21

ヴィンランド・サガ [Vinland Saga]

by Makoto Yukimura

El asedio de la fortaleza de Jomsborg se eterniza. El ejército de Thorkell, acampado fuera de la fortaleza, y el de Floki, protegidos por las murallas inexpugnables de la ciudad, continúan su guerra de sucesión, sin preocuparse de que ambos no desean convertirse en el Comandante Supremo de los Jomsvikings. Por orden de Flóki, Gudrid es rehén dentro de la fortaleza. Flóki espera usarla para atraer a Thorfinn a una emboscada y matarlo.

No sabe que Balder le ha revelado a Einar la existencia de un pasaje secreto que conecta el pozo de Jomsborg con el río, al otro lado de las murallas, con la esperanza de que negocie la paz con Thorfinn y Thorkell ..

Everything was building up to this moment. This volume was amazing!!! I wish I could give it 10 stars.

The emotional moments and decisions Thorfinn went through were handled so well. I still keep thinking about it. So many emotional, philosophical moments, so many moments of tension and suspense, yet so many hilarious moments, too.

This volume had it all. And it left on such a cliffhanger! I’m beyond excited to read the next volume.

Could be a 5 stars volume, if Garm didn't showed up on the last moment. He isn't that bad but at the same time, not that interesting as a character... and if he's there just for the sake of fight scenes, wouldn't be more interesting to see him fighting someone like hild instead of Sig? Oh maaan, that would be cool.

We also have Thorfinn's almost consumed by his fury... and was such an impactfull scene. I really enjoyed that he can't control himself, that means he's in need of much improvement as a person and that means more quiet moments in the future. Maybe with a new wise type of character.. maybe an old dude. That would be nice.


Oh, and I love Baldr! Such a sweet boy... I hope he manages to get away from all this mess.

Décidément je ne me lasse pas de « Vinland saga ». Ce 21ème tome m’a, comme les précédents, passionnée de bout en bout. Je l’ai dévoré. Tout est parfaitement dosé, l’action, l’humour… L’auteur parvient à surprendre avec cette alliance inattendue entre Thorfinn et Sigurd. La fin du tome donne évidemment très envie de lire la suite. Yukimura maîtrise toujours aussi bien le cliffhanger. Le seul souci c’est que ma bibli met un temps fou à acquérir les tomes de la série quand ils sortent et que l’attente est longue. D’ailleurs, ils n’ont toujours pas le dernier tome paru, c’est frustrant.

Mi sono sempre chiesta cosa sarebbe successo se Thorfinn si fosse ritrovato davanti il mandante dell'ªssªssînîø di suo padre, e questo volume mi ha dato delle risposte abbastanza soddisfacenti.
In tutto questo, Garm pazzo pazzissimo — lo adoro.

Makoto Yukimura se supera en cada nuevo número. Las ilustraciones tienen un cariño y cuidados únicos. ¡Cómo ilustra las manos perfectamente! ¡Cómo le da movimiento y vida a las viñetas es impresionante! ¡La historia, lo mejor! ¡Los personajes, increíbles! ¡Qué bien diseñada está esta historia!

[Ignacio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Capítulos de transición en una entrega que se anima hacia el final... Aunque al paso que va esto, el viaje a Vinland llegará en el tomo 34. Lo menos.

It's taking a lot of time and sometimes it does feel like the story could be cut short, however it's better than it has been in a while

I really don’t like Garmr. In general I don’t enjoy these high action volumes.

Absolute cinema! But I was also laughing my ass off on some parts. Sorry, Thorfinn.

[N.E.C.C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

There was a fair amount of action in here but i feel like it was mostly comedy, and i'm not disappointed.

Poor Thorfinn, always in a tight spot. Trying to be a good guy is a really hard job, especially if you used to be a really bad guy xD.

I probably said it before but, what a great manga. Everything about it is great, even the politics (and i hate them), but Makoto Yukimura has the ability to make it fun and entertaining for me.

I don't wnat to finish this review without giving praise to THAT scene between those two characters, very touching and eye-opener.

If only I could have used my life not for pursuit of Valhalla, but for something more, beyond even that... something greater.

I love love love LOVE how all the characters clashed in this volumen. And do I need to say that I also LOVE all the characters as well? Everything in this manga is so epic.

بسه.
این حجم از عذابی که تورفین داره تحمل میکنه واقعا دل آدم رو می‌سوزونه.

[Josi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alcanzó un nuevo pico de emotividad y volvió la grandeza. Valió la pena esperar.

One of my favorites since way way back.

Just too much meaningless crap going on all around at the same time, which only manages to distract you from what should have been the central event, Thorfinn's encounter with Floki. Because it is drowned out with all that noise, the gravity of their confrontation has no room to properly resonate.

I guess I see Yukimura's intentions behind the way this battle is written: I suppose it is meant to be so chaotic and overwhelming to a) underline the inherent absurdity of the whole strife and warfare at large, and b) to truly test Thorfinn by pushing him to his very limits. But damn, does it all make for a tiresome reading experience... Well, at least the exasperation and weariness that those chapters evoke give you a sense of what it must feel like to be in Thorfinn's shoes.

The sequence I liked the most was a self-reflexive moment of a random soldier who realised the meaninglessness of the Viking lifestyle just as he was about to meet his death. Which is kinda telling: out of all this madness that's been taking place, the most gripping event turns out to be a peripheral cameo at the beginning of the volume that functions within the narrative only as a general comment on the margin of the main story.

But then I guess Yukimura's writing achieves what it was probably meant to achieve: it was good to see Thorfinn go berserk for a moment, even if the entire arc was too obviously designed to reach that point.

It was good to see him in such a state because he's become a bit too saintly for my tastes as of late. Which makes me ponder whether Yukimura doesn't elevate the Christian values at the expense of the Viking ones a bit too much. I'd really wish to see more criticism of Christianity as well in the future arcs, just for balance.

It seems that after each Vol. Thorfinn finds himself between a rock and a hard place as he has to make decisions on the fly, taking him to more and more crossroads all of this serves for his character development but it also gives me the impression that this battle is eternal!!!!! And I already want someone to finish off Garm, what an irritating character is Thorkell 2.0

Al parecer tras cada Vol. Thorfinn se encuentra entre la espada y la pared al tener que tomar decisiones sobre la marcha, llevándolo cada vez a más encrucijadas todo este sirve para su desarrollo de personaje pero también me da la impresión que esta batalla es eterna!!!!! y ya quiero que alguien acabe con Garm que personaje tan irritante es un Thorkell 2.0

ثوروفين أمام فلوكي-المدبر الحقيقي لقتل والد ثورفين- لا يتمالك نفسه ويرغب بالانتقام من الرجل الذي قتل والده وخدعه طوال هذه السنوات، ومن خلفه هيلد(ابنة الرجل الذي قُتل على يد ثوروفين) وهي تريد الانتقام من ثورفين لأجل ذلك وتأخذ حياته كرهينة.
ما يجري بداخل عقل هيلد هو إذا انتقمت لوالدك فأنا أيضًا سأنتقم لوالدي!
ولكن بالدر يتدخل ليحمى جده-فلوك-، ويستعيد ثوروفين وعيه بعدما أصابته نوبة الغضب والانتقام التي حاول جاهدًا التخلص منها منذ قُتل أسكيلاد !

أي تعقيد هذا !
المشهد رائع ولحظة كسر ثوروفين للسيف رائعة !

فقط ما أخشاه هل ث��روفين لم يرد الانتقام خوفا من انتقام هيلد أم أن بالدر هو من أيقظه من غضبه حقًا وذكره بأنه يريد أن يتغير ؟! '-'
ربما أختار كلتا الإجابتين
ثورفين لا يريد أن يُقتل الآن لكي يكمل حلمه
وأيضا هو صادق النية في تغيير نفسه، وما حدث كان خارجًا عن إرادته وطاقته '-'

Thorfinn e Hilde entrano in Jomsborg dal pozzo da cui fuggirono gli altri sul numero precedente.
Siggy e il suo amico pancione li seguono. L'obiettivo e salvare Gudrid. Anche Garm rientra in Jomsborg. Baldr si fa prendere in ostaggio per garantire a Thorfinnla fuga, ma scoppia il caos, e Siggy riesce ad aprire il portone mentre Thorfinn si scontra con Garm.
La situazione precipita e quel verme di Floki adesso non sa bene cosa fare, mentre Thorkell, accortosi che uno dei portoni si è aperto, si lancia all'attacco.
4 stelle.

[Nickonero · Rating 2 out of 5]

Este arco me decepciona. Garmr no solamente es una copia de otras personalidades ya vistas en este mismo manga, es que se trata de un personaje malo, plano y que es malo porque es malo. Me aburre. Para colmo ha utilizado una técnica y la ha cantado, como pasa en el shonen más típico. Es posible que se trata de una referencia, es posible que Yukimura haya querido hacer con él una pequeña parodia y ese sea el guiño más obvio pero, sinceramente, me parece una broma de mal gusto. Ensucia el conjunto.

[Maria Manaia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing. I really don't like Garm but his wish to die by warriors' hands is promising. This volume was a roller coaster of emotions - from Thorfinn dramatically breaking the sword and keeping his inner promise to all the funny scenes that made me laugh. Vinland Saga has an amazing range of very well done characters.

Hild is just...AhHhh please understand Thorfinn. You both seized revenge, you both can learn with it.

4.5/5


so much great stuff here. slowly building up towards their arrival at vinland. theres such stuff here and there that i didnt like, particularly in how rushed thorfinn and gudrid are as a couple, but as a whole so much depth in its writing as expected with vinland saga.

[David Sanz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Espectacular. Y menudo cliffhanger. Odio a Yukimura!

[Eressea · Rating 4 out of 5]

唉唉~
果然連載長了就會攙一堆沒用的水
到十一集左右的農奴種地篇
還頗有一種頓悟的禪意
回到修羅場之後反而弄些看不下去的搞笑
總之也是只能追更了
又開一個大坑填不完啊啊
