While there were originallyreports aboutVinland Sagaending in Junebased on a specific translation of a summary of Makoto Yukimura’s upcoming guest lecture at Rikkyo University, that has now proven to be false, but even so,Vinland Sagais officially confirmed to be ending on August 17, 2025.

What To Expect From Vinland Saga’s Final Chapters

What Will Happen In Vinland Saga Before Its Finale?

Vinland Sagalooks to only have two chapters left at best, and there’s still a lot that needs to be covered. The most recent chapters have covered the final dissolution of Thorfinn’s village and, most shockingly, Einar’s death, and with all of that, there’s nothing left for Thorfinn to do but return home to Iceland as history dictates.There’s little left forVinland Sagabeyond Thorfinn and his friends leaving Vinland in failure, and consideringMakoto Yukimura’s previous comments onVinland Saga’s ending, that’s hard to argue with.

There is a bit of optimism to be had, however. As everyone laments how poorly everything went, Karli opted to focus on the things that went well and said that they needed to fix their mistakes and try harder next time, and Thorfinn’s words at Einar’s grave show that he’s learned something from Einar falling under the spell of war against the Lnu.Vinland Saga’s latest chapter suggests that everyone will use what happened to make their next society a more prosperous one, and as simple as that might be, it’s all they can be expected to do, unfortunately.

More than that, of course, is the story behind it all.Vinland Sagaslowly transformed from a historical action story to a gripping, character-driven drama about humanity and the importance of non-violence, all of which has been framed as being surprisingly natural, so overall,Vinland Sagawill go down as a masterpiece because of the masterful philosophical writing that’s defined it for so many years.
