Release date and time, where to watch
Trending
Vinland Saga season 2 episode 21 is set to begin airing on local Japanese networks at 12:30 AM JST on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. For a minority of international fans, this translates to a Saturday night local release window. A vast majority of international fans, like Japanese viewers, will instead see the episode become available Sunday morning locally. The exact time of release varies by region and timezone.
International audiences can stream the episode on Crunchyroll roughly one hour after the episode begins airing in Japan. While Netflix is also streaming the series’ new episodes for their subscribers weekly, their delay time seems to be longer than Crunchyroll’s. Resultantly, Crunchyroll appears to be the overall better option for viewing the upcoming episode.
Vinland Saga season 2 episode 21 is set to become available on Crunchyroll at the following times in the corresponding time zones:
- Pacific Standard Time: 8:30 AM, Monday, May 29
- Eastern Standard Time: 11:30 AM, Monday, May 29
- Greenwich Mean Time: 3:30 PM, Monday, May 29

Season 2 episode 20 recap
Vinland Saga season 2 episode 20 began with Fox remembering how he got to this point in his life as he watched Badger fight off a soldier with just one hand. Just as it seemed Badger was about to die, Snake saved his life and ordered his men to retreat. This caused Ketil’s men to retreat as well, creating a situation in which Ketil was distracted and attacked by one of Canute’s men.
The episode then showed Thorgil creeping up on Canute after Wulf left the latter’s side. Unfortunately, Thorgil was unable to kill him before Wulf got back and stabbed a sword through the former's wrist, forcing him to retreat unsuccessfully. Surprisingly, Olmar was nowhere to be seen in this section of the episode despite being a part of Thorgil’s plan.
Episode 20 then shifted perspectives to Thorfinn, Einar, Leif, Bug-Eyes, and Arnheid, where Arnheid said her piece to Einar and Thorfinn before dying. At that moment, Snake arrived with an injured Ketil, sending Einar into a frenzy which Thorfinn was thankfully able to pull him out of. After burying Arnheid, the episode ended with Thorfinn heading to go speak with Canute, promising he’ll be alright no matter what happens.
What to expect (speculative)
In one way or another, Vinland Saga season 2 episode 21 will open up with a focus on Canute considering the events of the previous episode. Whether it be a contemporary focus on his recovering from Thorgil’s attack, speaking with Thorfinn in the present, or a flashback of his past with Thorfinn, Canute will certainly be the opening star of the episode.
If Vinland Saga season 2 episode 21 doesn’t open with Thorfinn and Canute beginning their conversation, fans can expect it to take up a good amount of remaining runtime once it begins. In between, fans can expect a focus on Thorgil, Ketil, Snake, and Olmar, as well as possibly a brief focus on Leif Ericson and his crew getting their boat ready for departure at Thorfinn’s return.
