Vinland Saga Chapter 7 Summary : Sword
As Thors prepares his longship for departure, a villager asks for his help with a wounded child. Thors finds that the child’s arm is broken after an accident during the children’s game of war. He treats the injury, offering advice to keep the arm in a splint for a month. The villager thanks him, and another child reveals that Thorfinn was the one responsible for the injury. Thors apologizes, but the villager laughs it off, calling it “kids being kids” and even complimenting Thorfinn’s strength, suggesting he’s destined to be a warrior—something Thors seems uneasy about.
Meanwhile, the older boys in the village are being outfitted for war. Thorfinn, envious, discards his wooden sword and shield when he arrives home. Ylva scolds him and threatens to throw them out, but Thorfinn retorts that he no longer needs them. He searches through the family storeroom for a weapon, finally discovering his father’s old war chest, containing a helmet, sword, and a short sword. Thorfinn admires the short sword, but when he unsheathes it, Thors intervenes, grabbing the blade and injuring himself in the process.
Thors reprimands Thorfinn, asking him why he wants a sword. Thorfinn replies that he wants to kill enemies, and when asked who his enemy is, he answers “Halfdan… maybe…” Thors, however, tells Thorfinn he has no enemies and no one should be hurt. Thorfinn is frustrated, arguing that it doesn’t make sense since Thors is about to go to battle. He accuses his father of lying and treating him like a child, before running off in anger.
Thors, visibly hurt by the situation, asks Helga to help raise their son well. As the chapter ends, Thorfinn stands at the docks, staring at his father’s ship with a determined look in his eyes.
