Vinland Saga season 2 episode 23 is titled "Two Paths", and the first look is revealed!

Vinland Saga season 2 episode 23 is set to begin airing on local Japanese networks at 12.30 am JST on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. For a minority of international fans, this translates to a Saturday night local release window. A vast majority of international fans, like Japanese viewers, will instead see the episode become available Sunday morning. The exact time of release varies by region and timezone.

International audiences can stream the episode on Crunchyroll roughly one hour after the episode begins airing in Japan. While Netflix is also streaming the series’ new episodes for their subscribers weekly, their delay time seems longer than Crunchyroll’s. Resultantly, Crunchyroll appears to be the overall better option for viewing the upcoming episode.

Vinland Saga season 2 episode 23 is set to become available on Crunchyroll at the following times in the corresponding time zones:

Season 2 episode 22 recap

Ad

Vinland Saga season 2 episode 22 began with Thorfinn being 16 punches into his trial with Drott. Wulf then explained that Thorfinn was contorting his body in a way that minimized the overall impact. However, Snake showed up, momentarily distracting Thorfinn and allowing Drott to get in a clean, forceful hit.

Snake and Einar then approached Thorfinn, telling him he can stop this since it’s been decided that the farm will be surrendered. However, Thorfinn rejected this, admonishing Snake for not resorting to peaceful means in the first place. After standing back up and calling Drott out, the scene cut to Drott taking his final swings, which Thorfinn survived, thus earning him an audience with Canute.

Upon meeting with Canute, the two made small talk before Thorfinn asked the King to leave Ketil’s farm immediately and abandon his goal of capturing it. Canute lectured on how despite his immense power, he and all are powerless before God, which is why he’ll lead the Vikings in a rebellion against their maker. The episode ended with Canute seemingly turning his forces on Thorfinn and Einar in a threatening manner.

With Canute seemingly unwilling to accept Thorfinn’s terms, fans are worried about the situation becoming deadly violent. With Canute’s men seemingly preparing for “battle” with Thorfinn and Einar, Thorfinn may be forced to abandon his new peaceful lifestyle to save them.

Vinland Saga season 2 episode 23 will likely focus on Canute’s cruel manipulation of someone he once called a friend. With essentially every other major plotline now wrapped up, the entirety of the episode will likely focus on Thorfinn’s choice and how he plans to free himself and Einar from Canute’s clutches.
