Vinland Saga, Episode 2: Sword
Synopsis
Hakon makes his debut in this episode, but his role is minimal. He is part of the group of village boys who eavesdrop on Thors and Floki’s conversation inside Thors’ house. Alongside Magni, he stands behind Ari, Mord, Grim, and Thorfinn as they listen in on the discussion about war and Thors’ past as a Jomsviking.
Later, Hakon is seen walking through the snow with the other boys after Floki’s declaration that Thors must return to the battlefield. During this conversation, the boys express their excitement about the upcoming war, with Hakon reacting with amazement to the idea of participating. However, he does not contribute much to the discussion.
His presence helps to emphasize the youthful and naive perspective of the village boys, who view war as a grand adventure rather than the brutal reality that Thors understands.
