    Around the end of the millennium, Viking, the mightiest but atrocious tribe, had been out breaking everywhere. Thorfinn, the son of the greatest warrior, lived his childhood in the battlefield. He was seeking the land of reverie called Vinland. This is the story of a true warrior in an age of turmoil.

      As someone who loves Vinland Saga to death; I can understand people having issues with season 2 for not having action like in season 1. From their perspective, it can seem too odd of a tonal shift. Personally, I feel that the direction season 2 and onwards was going to take tonally was heavily foreshadowed back in season 1.

    All I want is to survive it
    If I let go, will it be the end of me?
    Got to move on, held on too long
    Sweep me away, out into the ocean

    Mighty river release my soul, I need to see the world
    To the unknown, I'll go against my sorrow (Sorrow)
    Mighty river release my soul out to the open gold
    I can't stay here forever in this hollow (Hollow)
    Oh, river take me out, take me away river
    Oh, river take me out, take me out to thе unknown
    Oh, river take me out, takе me away river
    Oh, river take me out, take me out to the unknown

Season 2 shows a more calm and pacifist Thorfinn whereas in the previous season he was bloodthirsty and animal like, but Thorfinn is still haunted from these past scars and they constantly come to terrorize him.
