With action taking a backstory in the Vinland Saga, fans are curious as to whether or not Thorfinn will battle again in Season 2.
Season 1 of the Vinland Saga featured some of the most brutal and beautiful action sequences in recent anime history; However, the ongoing second season has significantly reduced the violence.
Unfortunately, this has led to some frustration within the global community, with only anime watchers now considering whether or not Thorfinn will fight again in Season 2 of the Vinland Saga.
Spoiler warning: This article will contain information from the original manga that has yet to be adapted into the second season of the anime, read at your own discretion.
Does Thorfinn fight again in Vinland Saga Season 2?
Yes, Thorfinn battles again in Vinland Saga Season 2; Although, fans shouldn’t expect to see the bloodthirsty warrior reappear from within our main character for quite some time.
Thorfinn’s next major fight takes place in manga chapters 85 “Showdown” and 86 “No Returning Home”, in a battle against the powerful retainer leader, Snake.
In the second season of Vinland Saga, Studio MAPPA used to adapt approximately two chapters per episode:
- Season 2 Episode 1 ‘Slave’ – Chapter 55
- Season 2 Episode 2 “Kettle’s Farm” – Seasons 56-57
- Season 2 Episode 3 “The Snake” – Seasons 57-59
- Season 2 Episode 4 “The Awakening” – Seasons 59-60
- Season 2 Episode 5 “Blood Road” – Seasons 61-62
- Season 2 Episode 6 ‘We Need a Horse’ – Seasons 63-65
- Season 2 Episode 7 ‘Iron Fist Ketil’ – Seasons 66-67
- Season 2 Episode 8 ‘Empty Man’ – Seasons 68-69
- Season 2 Episode 9 “The Oath” – Seasons 70-71
Assuming MAPPA continues at this pace, fans can expect Thorfinn to fight again by Season 2 Episode 16.
The problem here is that we don’t actually know when this episode will air. Vinland Saga Season 2 will have a total of 24 episodes, the same as Season 1.
However, MAPPA has yet to confirm whether the anime will continue to air in Spring 2023 (scheduled to start from April to June), or if there will be a separate broadcast, i.e. a one-page break for the spring, returning in the summer (from July). to September).
Unfortunately, this means that unless MAPPA adds an original sequence, fans shouldn’t expect a major fight sequence to happen before the Vinland Saga Season 2 finale.
Fans are once again wondering how fast Vinland Saga Season 2 will go
While Vinland Saga Season 2 remains the highest rated anime in the winter list on MyAnimeList, the series is causing online friction within its global community with many viewers calling the series bored.
One Reddit user argued how MAPPA was releasing the Vinland Saga Season 2 under the binge model (dropping all episodes at once) because “The Farmland arc is a very slow arc to begin with, so watching it week to week wouldn’t really be fun.”
“I realized this after watching Season 1 and Episode 1 of Season 2. I went ahead and hit the rest of the manga. And honestly it was the better choice.”
However, it’s important to note when comparing the action-packed first season to the second seeding season that the first broadcast was actually just a prequel to the original manga.
Director Shuhei Yabuta to publish On social media How “Some people may think that this season’s story is not suitable for anime series, but I don’t think so. The storytelling is definitely unique. But there is an important phase of the whole story in this season. And I think it will make this anime special “.
Flashy events will decrease and the pace of the story will slow down. However, the characters’ emotions are highly moving and fiery. I promise you that there is a unique experience like no other. I hope you all enjoy the second season! ”
