Inspired by Makoto Yukimura’s historical Japanese manga series of the same name, ‘Vinland Saga’ is an action-adventure anime that recounts a story of revenge, hatred, war, and self-discovery. The show revolves around Thorfinn, a young inhabitant of a harsh and frozen Icelandic village where war has become commonplace and death looms over peoples’ heads every day. It is no surprise that tales of finding the legendary land of Vinland which is supposedly warm, fertile, and peaceful was quite common when Thornfinn was growing up. Unfortunately, as the war between the Danes and the English got out of hand, the influence of the viking mercenaries increased. The violent and unforgiving conditions created the unfortunate circumstances in which Thorfinn lost his father. This marked the beginning of Thorfinn’s journey to avenge his death and makes peace with himself in the process.
What is Vinland Saga Season 2 About?
In season 1, following the murder of his father, Thornfinn set out to take revenge from Askeladd. While he interestingly grew up with the leader of of the band of mercenaries, things took an interesting turn when his arch-enemy died. This meant that Thornfinn’s purpose of life was suddenly snatched away from him and to make matter worse he was punished with enslavement for the crime of attacking Canute.
The season 2 of the anime will focus on Ketil’s Farm Arc or the Slave arc in which Thornfinn will become a victim to the Scandinavian slave trade. As mentioned earlier, he will go through an existential crisis following the execution of Askeladd. His life of war and violence will suddenly change radically as he will stop aspiring for a better future. As he work hard in the fields as per the wishes of his master, Thornfinn will find a new jest for life until he meets Einar, a slave like him. This will mark the beginning of a fresh journey as Thornfinn finds a new purpose.
