About this converter
Makoto Yukimura built Vinland Saga in four story arcs across a twenty-year run. This page compares the complete set of four arcs by manga chapter count, using Kodansha Afternoon serialization ranges. The Eastern Expedition is the longest at 67 chapters, covering chapters 100 to 166. The War arc and the closing Vinland arc tie at 54 chapters each. The Slave arc holds 45.

How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Eastern Expedition against Slave to compare 67 chapters with 45. Then test War against Vinland to see the 54 to 54 tie.
Four rows are the complete set. Yukimura structured the manga into the War, Slave, Eastern Expedition and Vinland arcs, and the series ended with chapter 220 in Afternoon in July 2025. No fifth arc exists, so nothing is left out. The Vinland arc count of 54 covers chapters 167 to 220. Anime episode counts differ and are not mixed into these chapter figures. Early chapters first printed in Weekly Shonen Magazine before the move to Afternoon keep their original chapter numbers.
