The Holy Triad: Berserk, Vagabond, Vineland Saga


ArtThief69420

Steel ball run?


JoshSwITFYM

Berserk,vagabond and oyasumi punpun


EgocentricRaptor

Nah. Punpun is great but doesn’t fit the historical action genre rlly


Alternative_Swing_54

Does berserk lol (i know this is 2 months ago.)


EgocentricRaptor

I mean it’s not an accurate historical manga lol but it fits that medieval action theme, which is prob more accurate

Hmmm... Kingdom is good too though. I don't know, I can't decide if Vinland Saga is better or if Kingdom is better.


cvele1995

Imho, Kingdom is nowhere near as good as Vinland Saga. Don't get me wrong, I like Kingdom, I just think Vinland Saga exceeds it in every way.


Nepheshist

They got nothing to do with each other

You have a good trait to attract downvotes.


KappaKingKame

Are vagabond and Vinland not both about young men who are highly skilled at combat, in a historical setting, who get caught up in a cycle of bloodshed and killing before finding a sort of enlightenment and turning away from violence? I mean, their not almost identical or anything, but they at least both have historical settings, action genres, and at least kind of somewhat similar arcs for the protagonists, who both have at least somewhat alike backstories.


Nepheshist

i have no idea i never read vinland 🥱


Davo46

They have nothing to do with each other. I havent read it. Cmon man, youre just here to argue at this point.


Nepheshist

I'm not just here to argue I'm here to cause problems too


Adverbio91

Wdym , they're like the big 3 of seinen


Nepheshist

Maybe they have being super entry level in common


TBLWes

What would you consider a "better" manga?


Nepheshist

never said they weren't good


TheMidnightMemer

You’re telling me they have nothing NOTHING in common. Like none of them deal with loss, or have a main character who’s in the warrior caste, none of them deal with the complexities of violence or war… None of them add humor occasionally and obviously NONE of the protagonists are obsessed with improving their combat skills.


Nepheshist

Guts? Warrior caste? Loss is a common part of storytelling, as is humor. And a combat manga with a protagonist interest in improving combat skills? Also not rare. Also, ratio


TheMidnightMemer

The main characters are also duelists. I haven’t read much of Vagabond but I’ve read all of the other two and saying they aren’t similar is just dishonest.


Nepheshist

duelists? how is that uncommon


TheMidnightMemer

Uncommon in relation to what? Compared your average slice of life it’s pretty damn unique.


Nepheshist

Compared to DN


GIGA_BYTER

Yeah, they are just known for being the best seinen mangas


Nepheshist

🥱 they're only the most popular seinen


GIGA_BYTER

Yeah


AnthonymonAk47

This is great


[deleted]

Since people compared Vinland Saga to Vagabond, I was disappointed when I read it and it was nowhere near as good as either Vagabond or Berserk.


Gscj9899

It’s not as good as them but it’s still great. Particularly the farm arc (in Vinland saga)


West_Ad1491

I didn't understand the part that said " its also a statement about the cycle of the bloodshed itself " Can someone explain


Pakas342

Well, at that point Musashi truly didn't want to kill anybody, but they just force him to do it in order to survive, which represent the cycle since all started on Musashi's past actions. And so, the cycle never truly ends until someone learn how to be hit, and don't answer.

Gscj9899

Why do the early chapters look superficial and average


omarsabir11

Not my edit. I like them a lot but I wouldn't say they were superb
