Canute proclaimed himself the ruler of England. Meanwhile, Thorfinn and Einar figure out how to gain their freedom. It is difficult to tell where and how things will turn in Vinland Saga. However, this might give a better look into what is going on with Thorfinn.
On Tuesday, the official Twitter account for the Vinland Saga anime released a short video titled “Episode 6.5 – Drowning in the Shadow”. This video shows an original scene that is not shown in the manga.
The episode is not too long, spanning a bit more than two and a half minutes. It shows Thorfinn as he looked like when he was a part of Askeladd’s raiders. He slaughters some of the villagers who charge toward him.
He later enters a house, but the person entering changes into an adult Thorfinn. In the house, a family is seen cowering because of the attack. Their cries evoke something inside Thorfinn.
Makoto Yukimura, the creator, also shared his comment on the short.
The second season of Vinland Saga premiered on January 9, with Netflix and Crunchyroll streaming the series. As of now, six episodes have been released.
MAPPA is the production studio for the second season, replacing Wit Studio. The main staff is returning with Shuhei Yabuta as the director, Hiroshi Seko as the screenwriter, Takahiko Abiru as the character designer, and Yuta Yamada as the music composer.

Vinland Saga is set in ancient Viking times, where a young Thorfinn’s life goes astray when his father Thors – a well-known retired warrior – is killed while on a journey.
