For anime fans, it is almost impossible not to hear about Makoto Yukimura’s Vinland Saga. Perhaps one of the most popular manga series, Vinland Saga‘s legacy, is not unknown to the masses. Yukimura’s widely-read Viking has won several accolades and received praise from critics worldwide. Apart from a gripping storyline and character arcs, the manga also features an in-depth examination of brutality and battle. 

Vinland Saga is an incredibly diverse manga on its own, introducing the fans to various arcs. Recently, the second installment of the anime based on the show came to an end after taking the fans through an incredibly emotional season. While the ending did not receive much praise, Makoto Yukimura had a few words for fans who wanted more of the violent aspect.

Makoto Yukimura has a recommendation for fans who want to read violence

It has almost been 18 years since Makoto Yukimura’s Vinland Saga was first released worldwide. Since its release, the Shonen manga has become an exemplary anime. Recently, amidst the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con, Yukimura sat down for an interview to discuss his Viking epic. During his conversation with Anime News Network, the author had advice for fans who were just interested in the violence within the manga. Yukimura said, “If you really want to read about things like violence, you should consider Attack on Titan.” 

The creator admitted that he received a lot of complaints from the fans who disliked Thorfinn’s arc and were unhappy seeing him return to his village. Yukimura added that even though he received the complaints at the same time, he could not help them. Elsewhere in the interview, he revealed that he hated violence, so he had to be incredibly creative and create a balance while writing the characters.

Will there be a third season of Vinland Saga?

Vinland Saga first sailed ship in 2019 when season one graced our screens with the first 18 episodes of the historical anime. Following that, it took nearly four years for the second installment of the show to release. As the anime gloriously returned to our screens on June 2023, fans are now curious about season 3 of the show. 

Much to the fans’ disappointment, there is no announcement of a third season as of late. However, the speculated release window remains between 2025 and 2027. The first two seasons have merely covered less than 100 episodes of the manga. So the fans can expect a new season and beyond that as well.
