Vinland Saga Season 2 Opening Songs' Names
The opening song of Vinland Saga Season 2's first cour is titled River. It is the type of anime opening song that fans should never skip when watching an episode. The song is phenomenal and perfectly fits the plot of Vinland Saga Season 2.
Unlike the first season’s opening song, River is calmer, owing to Thorfinn’s sudden change of heart.
Previously, Thorfinn was filled with rage, which could explain why the production chose a punk rock opening song for the first season.
River is also a love letter to Thorfinn, reflecting his sense of being lost and having no direction or purpose in life following the death of his nemesis.
On the contrary, the second cour's opening song is titled Paradox.
The opening visuals are spot on, which will make you think that Paradox is one of the greatest anime opening songs of all time, not just in Vinland Saga.
Truly, MAPPA is incapable of messing up the animation of Vinland Saga's opening visuals. The opening song fits the sequences, and gets the viewers pumped!
