The funniest KCD modern au for Hansry is if they're just Larpers. Dnd is also a fun alternative but them doing larps or those medieval reenactment shows just hits different.
Henry and Hans are just two normal ass dudes with normal ass jobs, but also they're Lord Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz on the weekends and they beat other people with (fake) swords for fun.
They met doing larps. Their characters had chemistry and then are hit with the realisation that it's not just their characters who have chemistry.
Drew it.

If these two had a credo, it would definitely sound like this:
i had the idea for this last tdov but it didnt come together until now 🥖🍷 though i'm not religious, this quote is beloved to me
I just want to say how much I love how anime writers came up with the idea of a Signal Samurai and the idea of showing the trio as children. Now Miles' obsession with Steel Samurai is not only a funny trait of the seemingly serious and cruel prosecutor but also his escape to a happy childhood with his friends. I remember one post (or comment?) where the author interpreted Phoenix's keychain being more worn as a sign that he wears his heart on his sleeve, while Miles' is treasured because he's afraid to open up to other people and keeps his heart on lock. But then Miles starts wearing his keychain everywhere and isn't afraid to show it off no matter how embarrassing it is and it's a sign of him healing and becoming a better person. I really like this theory and although know it won't happen, I would love to see the Signal Samurai in the games.
i also really like the way vinland saga depicted slavery. there's a frankly disturbing amount of anime out there (especially isekai ones) that tend to depict slavery as something awful, yes, but only if you're a bad person. like... what if you were to become a slave master but you were really niceys to your slaves? 🥺 and they all liked you?? 🥺🥺🥺 then surely that would be okay, because YOU wouldn't be cruel, right???
it almost looked like vinland was going that route with ketil at the start of the farmland saga, since he was, comparatively, one of the 'better' slave owners, but they completely destroy that notion by the end of it, especially highlighting the difference in treatment between male and female slaves through arnheid. there's just no dancing around it: slavery is always an inhumane practice, regardless of the personal morality of the slave owner in question

Why would you need a new sword every day, my lord?🤨
