>just get punched in the face 100 times bro
>don't protect anything you love, self defense is just as bad as murder
there's no point in reading this manga after Askeladd's death, the themes have been completely muddled by the author's innate faggotry.
Just get punched in the face 100 times bro
what if I find character studies interesting and want to see how well this level of pacifism in a person is handled
>He can't stand getting punched 100x just to own his enemy and prove his wrong
that part was kino
op is a faggot who couldnt handle 1 punch to the face
true
shut up shounenfaggot
If you don't let them punch you in the face, you're just as bad as them.
stories written for kids are better than stories written for pseudo-intellectual teens
Did you even read the manga? He was unarmed up against the king's army, what do you think would've happened if he fought back?
He aimed to impress all the soldiers by showing how much of a man he is.
This.
At least shonenshit isn't full of pretentious faggotry and muh too smart and subversive plot.
He isn't against self defense but he is against unnecessary and excessive violence, including abuse of self defense.
So as long as he can solve a situation without violence, he will. But if he has to fight, he will just punch you until you are peacefully asleep.
I stopped reading years ago. I just remember he had finally met his sister after all those years and she didn't believe it was him
Is he still pacifist?
The story was better when he was edgy.
TRANS VIKING
When I made a stick man comic, as a kid, I juse made them kill each others.
I don't think you were paying attention to the "themes".
based me too except i would battle with my fingers
Of all the fucking post-Askeladd scenes to complain about, this one? Fuck off, OP, that part was pure kino.
Yes, but it's about to setup for maximum suffering.
There's no way the current events lead to anywhere good.
It's literally the worst part of all. The moment the series becomes irredeemable. It shows that the conflict can only be solved by plot armor magic allowing Thorfinn to survive getting punched in the face a hundred times, Thorfinn doesn't get catharsis through pacifism after a life of violence, he just becomes a superhuman magician. Thorfinn (who then becomes the author's self-fellation puppet) feat doesn't show or say anything about pacifism. This might as well have happened in Baki, but then it would at least make sense.
Makoto Yukimura should be reincarnated in a war-torn shithole instead of a peaceful first world country where the main social issues are stuff like young men masturbating too much
>plot armor magic
Yeah cuz it's not like Thorfinn is tough or anything. Well known wimp, ol' Glass-Boned Thorfinn, incapable of taking the slightest scratch.
You fucking idiot.
Are you joking? If Thorkell gets knocked down by one kick to the chin, by the same logic then 100 punches should turn Thorfinn's brain into mush.
I completely checked the fuck out when the author decided he needed to firmly comment on how stupid fighting and killing is when we all die and fall into a dark, black void of non-existence in the end.
>plot armor magic allowing Thorfinn to survive getting punched in the face a hundred times
Dude, VS was never remotely realistic in terms of fighting and physics.
I wanyed to read a manga about vikings doing vikings stuff, not some pacifist propaganda.
And? it only undermines the themes of the series
Yukimura is just a hypocrite giga-faggot who feels guilty about enjoying action
Honestly the peaceful arc is terrible compared to the one in vagabond
you and I both know that this statement is false, just like at hunter fags
Instead of a fictional character maybe do Gandhi?
I like you
lel it´s hilarious when tradcells realize that real historians despise their edgy mindset.
Were you bullied as a kid?
