Vinland Saga is divided into four distinct parts: War Arc (戦争編 'Sensō-hen'?), Slave Arc (奴隷編 'Dorei-hen'?), Eastern Expedition Arc (東方遠征編 'Tōhō ensei-hen'?), and the final Arc unofficially titled Vinland Arc.[1] The War Arc is considered the prologue of the series. Makoto Yukimura claimed in 2019 that the last Arc will most likely have over 1000 pages and 50 chapters.[1]
