I'm still confused on why Thors was Killed in the Anime early episodes? He was such an amazing leader and fighter. Edit - my question is answered thank you, you guys are awesome. I'm getting the manga š. I can't seem to find why Floki killed Thors. Was it because of a personal grudge or did Floki just not want Thors become a competitor for the leading seat in Jomsvikings.
Who killed Thors in Vinland Saga? Why did Floki betray Thors? Thors was killed by a barrage of arrows on Askeladd's orders. Vinland Saga is a renowned historical manga series created by Makoto.. Floki constantly believed that Thors looked down on him and developed a grudge for years. He hired Askeladd to kill Thors to exact his revenge. This death is the main event, as it propelled all the other events in the series! 2. Why did Askeladd kill Bjorn? Bjorn is the chief follower of Askeladd and second in command of the group.
