Vinland Saga season 2 episode 7 likely to focus on Thorfinn and Einar’s bonding as friends through their work as slaves

For a minority of international fans, Vinland Saga season 2 episode 7 will have 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. Exact time of release will vary by region and timezones.

International audiences can stream the episode on Crunchyroll roughly an 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, the latter is the overall better option for viewing the upcoming episode.

Vinland Saga season 2 episode 7 is set to become available on Crunchyroll at the following times in the corresponding time zones:

• Pacific Standard Time: 8.30 am, Monday, February 20
• Eastern Standard Time: 11.30 am, Monday, February 20
• Greenwich Mean Time: 4.30 pm, Monday, February 20
• Central European Time: 5.30 pm, Monday, February 20
• Indian Standard Time: 9 pm, Monday, February 20
• Philippine Standard Time: 11.30 pm, Monday, February 20

The series' season 2 episode 6 recap

Vinland Saga season 2 episode 6 saw Thorfinn and Einar reach a point in their work where they needed to begin removing stumps and preparing forest soil for farming. The opening moments of the episode saw them try to do this by hand, eventually deciding that they do need a horse but Ketil’s retainers will never give them one.

This led to them meeting Sverkel, Ketil’s father and former boss of the farm, who offered to lend them his own horse and plow in exchange for their help with his household chores. The arrangement was satisfactory for both, with Einar and Thorfinn making great progress with the horse’s help. However, Ketil eventually found out, putting a stop to the deal.

This parlayed into Thorfinn and Einar being invited into Sverkel’s house for dinner, where the two engaged with him and Snake in a conversation about the dangers of hoarding wealth. This comprised a majority of the episode’s third act, with it finally ending in a scene which saw Thorfinn and Einar call each other friends for the first time.

What to expect from the upcoming episode (speculative)

With Vinland Saga season 2 episode 7’s title being Iron Fist Ketil, fans can undoubtedly expect him to be a major part of the upcoming episode. The preview also shows a new character being introduced, one who seems particularly friendly with both Snake and Olmar. It’s possible that this character is related to one of the two in some way.

Most likely, the introduction of this new character will provide some sort of challenge or roadblock for Thorfinn and Einar in their work. This could be executed in a number of ways, but the most likely is to have this new character play a similar role to that of Ketil’s retainers.

However, the apparent relationship between both Olmar and Snake may result in this new character treating Einar and Thorfinn much more cruelly than the retainers do. This could make life on Ketil’s farm a true hell for the pair in Vinland Saga season 2 episode 7, possibly setting up some sort of disastrous conflict between the trio.
