[[spoiler: The real Thorkell the Tall disappeared from historical records during Canute's reign. Given that he had grown bored of a increasingly pacificed North Sea Empire, it's not exactly a stretch for Thorkell to abandon Canute and join his Great-Nephew's journey to Vinland, if only for an opportunity to find something to fight and serving as a TokenEvilTeammate of the crew. He may even go out in a blaze of glory fighting off a horde of Skraelings once the settlement comes under attack]]

It's an anime about vikings, they're a band that sings about vikings. It's a match made in Valhalla!

Why else would there be two Thorfinns? While main Thorfinn is the leader of the Vinland expedition, Bug-eyes will beget a son with Gudrid, the first Norse child to be born in America. Main Thorfinn will hook up with Hild instead.

It would be interesting to have the party travel so far from the Norse lands only to meet up with the norse yet again in Byzantium.

This would also fit in with the manga's theme of violence vs. non-violence. Einar hasn't achieved the same level of enlightenment as Thorfinn, so he would be willing to kill for an oath.

It was basically the last failed attempt by anyone to stop the expansion of his power. Norway and Sweden had to pull an EnemyMine just to challenge him, and it failed. After that he was the supreme king of "England, Denmark, Norway and some of the Swedes" as he himself put it, without further ado.

The party is headed for Iceland already. But, then Einar will also reunite with his own family. Then he will make an oath with Bishop Arnulf in exchange for help with the expedition to Vinland. And then Arnulf will call in the favor before the party is able to set sail again...

Many chapters post-timeskip, pretty much confirmed that they will at least ''try'' to go there.
