Another fantastic episode of Vinland Saga which included one of the most iconic lines of dialogue in not only Vinland Saga as a whole, but also in anime/manga in general. I can't tell you how long I have waited for this amazingly powerful and impactful moment to get adapted. This moment and pretty much the entire episode of Oath (S2, Ep 9) were easily my most anticipated moments of this entire arc and I must say... Mappa absolutely delivered on all fronts. Voice acting, animation, music, and sound design. They absolutely knocked it out of the park. Just like they have for this entire season. Literally every big episode they nailed and went above and beyond and I really couldn't have asked for a better adaptation of one of my favorite Manga series.
Now brushing aside the "I have no enemies" Scene. This episode was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. From the amazing opening scene of Thorfinn finishing off his 100 punch bet. To the incredibly powerful "I have no enemies" Speech. To the much anticipated reunion between Thorfinn and Canute which was 4 years in the making (literally). This episode just an absolute treat to watch and another flawless adaptation of an amazing moment/moments.
I don't have much else to say.. other than this... "I just met all of you today. We don't know anything about each other. We have no reason to hate each other. So why do we have to hit each other? It's stupid. It's just Canute and Ketil who are feuding with each other. The two leaders could settle this over a game of hnefatafl. There's no need to gather all these men and shed all this blood.. We just met today. You are not my enemies... I don't have any enemies."
Score: 10/10.
