With Vinland Saga’s Manga Done, We Need Season 3 ASAP

Fans of WIT Studio and MAPPA’s Vinland Saga, now left with no more adversaries to face, have recently bid farewell to this acclaimed series as it concluded after 220 chapters over a span of 20 years. In the past month, Thorfinn learned what it truly meant to be a True Warrior in the seminal manga by Makoto Yukimura. Manga readers finally received the long-awaited resolution they’ve been yearning for, despite the numerous pauses the series took. However, those who only watched the anime are still waiting on updates about Thorfinn and Einar’s ongoing quest to create a warless land.

In 2019, the anime adaptation of “Vinland Saga” premiered, with WIT Studio handling the first season. The initial season introduced viewers to Thorfinn, who was on a quest for revenge against Askeladd over his father Thors’ death. The second season, animated by MAPPA, delved into the Slave Arc, where Thorfinn began to abandon his vengeful path and discover the importance of peace. The Slave Arc is considered the real beginning of “Vinland Saga,” while the War Arc serves as a prequel. Fans of the anime are eagerly waiting for news on when the story will continue.

Vinland Saga Season 3, When?

In January 2023, the second season of Vinland Saga made its debut. To the surprise of many anime enthusiasts, this new season took a drastic turn from the high-speed, chaotic action of the first, instead focusing on the more leisurely, personal, and introspective narrative of the Slave Arc. While some viewers found the change in tone disconcerting, the majority of fans appreciated the second season, with Vinland Saga Season 2 ranking among the top-rated anime productions of that year.

Despite the massive popularity of “Vinland Saga” and high ratings on IMDb and MyAnimeList, MAPPA has yet to confirm a third season. Fans had expected Season 3 due to the show’s and manga’s success. However, no significant updates about a third season have been provided since the end of Season 2 in 2023, leaving fans eagerly waiting. Unfortunately, with Makoto Yukimura’s manga now concluded, the long-anticipated announcement of Season 3 has not materialized.

It’s still uncertain when a third season of Vinland Saga will be produced because there might be unseen complications occurring behind the scenes. As anime production is often kept confidential, these problems wouldn’t typically become public knowledge unless they were accidentally disclosed. The most probable explanation is that MAPPA studio is overwhelmed with numerous other projects, such as the upcoming Chainsaw Man‘s Reze Arc movie, which is set to premiere this year. Once the movie has been released, fans may finally receive news about the continuation of Vinland Saga, particularly since Season 3 could potentially surpass its previous seasons in quality.

What to Expect From Vinland Saga Season 3

In essence, just as WIT Studio and MAPPA’s anime has generally stuck close to Yukimura’s original manga, it’s likely that the same commitment to fidelity will continue in Season 3. Consequently, the upcoming season is anticipated to offer a blend of thrilling action sequences and deeply moving emotional moments.

In the third series, we’ll follow the storyline known as the Eastern Expedition Arc. Essentially, Thorfinn, Einar, and a few others embark on an expedition towards the East to amass resources for their intended journey to Vinland. Along the way, Thorfinn grapples with his past, as he encounters repercussions stemming from his brutal experiences under Askeladd’s tutelage.

Alongside resurrecting the beloved action from Season 1, the Eastern Expedition Arc amplifies character-driven narratives by introducing one of the manga’s most compelling characters: Hild. During their eastern journey, Thorfinn and Einar encounter the shrewd and formidable huntress who holds a grudge against Thorfinn, unbeknownst to them.

You can stream the first two seasons of “Vinland Saga” on either Crunchyroll or Netflix. If you’d like to read further ahead, Makoto Yukimura’s manga is accessible through the K Manga app, and physical copies are published by Kodansha USA.
