Season 2 episode 21 recap
Vinland Saga season 2 episode 21 began with Canute and co. piling up Ketil’s defeated fighters. Floki then asked if his Jomsvikings could pillage and requisition homes, as was their right as victors. However, Canute denies this, leaving Floki dismayed. Sweyn appeared and spoke to Canute, essentially saying that he was doing what a King must in the Hell that is the world.
Einar was seen leaning down at Arnheid’s grave before eventually standing up and looking at something in the distance, seemingly horrified.
The issue then focused on Ketil’s family, who discussed whether or not to surrender. Eventually, it was decided that the decision rested with Olmar as Ketil’s named successor (since Ketil himself was still unconscious).
Olmar decided to surrender to Canute’s forces, admitting that he wasn’t brave enough to take the ridicule he deserved. According to him, he started this fight and will end it. This was much to Thorgil’s chagrin.
Thorfinn was then shown arriving at Canute’s camp, being denied permission to see Canute. Eventually, after Einar arrived, Thorfinn made a bet to survive 100 punches from a giant soldier in order to see Canute.
What to expect (speculative)
While there is a mess of plotlines set to converge, and any one of them could be the episode’s main focus, Vinland Saga season 2 episode 22 will likely open up on Thorfinn’s struggle. It’s the most logical place to begin, considering the stakes at hand, the incredible challenge he has before him, and the fact that the previous installment used it as a cliffhanger ending.
Once Vinland Saga season 2 episode 22 gives some initial screen time to Thorfinn, fans can expect a focus on Olmar and Snake’s journey to Canute’s camp. A brief update on Thorgil’s current location, plans, and feelings is also likely to come at some point.
The final part of the episode is likely to see at least Olmar and Snake arrive at Canute’s camp to see Thorfinn’s struggle, which the episode will likely end with.
