About this converter
Vinland Saga makes Thorfinn short and Thorkell huge, and the official guidebook gives both numbers. Thorfinn stands 155 cm as an adult, while Thorkell the Tall reaches 230 cm. Askeladd and Canute both stand 170, Thors stands 180 and Einar stands 184, so the farm arc cast clusters near modern average while the warriors frame it. Gudrid at 152 and Leif at 152 anchor the small end with Arnheid at 155 beside Thorfinn. Every figure here comes from the Kodansha Official Guidebook of 2019, cross checked against the anime profiles.
How to use it
Pick two characters and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Thorkell against Thorfinn. The unit box converts the height to centimeters, meters or feet and inches.
Thorfinn rows his adult height of 155 cm. As a boy in the prologue he stood far less, and those child figures stay out. Thorkell at 230 cm is the tallest row here by a wide margin. Characters without guidebook heights, such as Floki and older Sig, stay out. The guidebook is the newest official source, so where fan lists differ, the guidebook figure is rowed.
