Vinland Saga/YMMV

• Crazy Awesome: Thorkell, Thrower of Logs and Puncher of Horses.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Happens at least once a fight scene, there are a lot of fight scenes
  • Three Words: "BOW BEFORE ME!"
  • Thorfinn finally getting angry again and punching one servant hard, all after he just told Einar to keep his calm. Followed by...
• Crowning Moment of Funny: "Oh Sh.." and the look on his face when he realizes he just broke his (technically) superior's chin.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Askeladd.
• Fan Nickname: It's not uncommon to hear people refer to post-timeskip Thorfinn as Viking Kurt Cobain due to his appearance.
  • Much like how in Code Geass Suzaku would have several nicknames with "something"-zaku, most of Canute's nicknames follow the same pattern. Earlier Canute is referred to a Moenute, after his Rage Against the Heavens he's Garnute, and more recently he's become Jerknute.
  • The current Time Skip arc is called "Farmland Saga."
• Growing the Beard: Canute, and boy does he. Then he goes and grows an actual beard to complete the image.
• Magnificent Bastard: Many try their hand, but Askeladd remains the best.
• Memetic Mutation: PUNCH THE HORSE!
• Moral Event Horizon
• Reverse Funny Aneurysm:

Willibald: What is love?
Readers: Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more

• Wangst: Thorfinn gets called on this by some critics, but at least he has a legitimate reason for his bouts of depression and general surliness, but Ketil's son? A spoiled little rich boy who wants to be a warrior, always whining about how life is unfair. Here's hoping Thorfinn gives him the beating of a lifetime.
• The Woobie: .........come on, Canute? I mean how can he not be after his "My Father harbors no love for me" speech in chapter 42? Not to mention Ragnar's death before that.
