What to expect from Vinland Saga season 2 episode 1?
Vinland Saga season 2 episode 1 will likely introduce fans to Thorfinn's new life and surroundings as he was enslaved and sold to the landowner Ketil. He purchased both Thorfinn and another Northern Englishman, Einar, both of whom are set to be tasked with cultivating the fields and harvesting the crops, which they will soon get the hang of.
The forthcoming season is set to adapt the Slave arc, as it will follow Thorfinn in his new life in Jutland, Denmark, since he had already lost his purpose in life with Canute killing Askeladd.
Thorfinn wanted to kill Askeladd himself for murdering his father, but the opportunity was stripped away from him, which caused him to be left ambitionless. He is now quite dejected with his new life as he will even start wondering why he is alive and does anything good that comes from living.
The protagonist, having befriended Einar, is about to force him to face all the sins he has committed as he tries to find meaning in his life. Meanwhile, fans could even catch a glimpse of Canute, who becomes the King of England and initiates his attempts to extend his territory.
