Which opening is better in your opinion?

I'd have to go with Mukanjyo. It goes hard and it's a convenient opening song for Thorfinn, or even just for the setting itself. I always find myself trying to sing Mukanjyo every time I listen to it or when I'm in the shower.

Mukanjyo is definitely my favorite. But both are great tbh. I really hope the 3rd op will be just as good.

mukanjyo honestly slaps it's one of those op's that just hit different and is absolutely perfect for the show

Opening 1 is so good, for me the second one couldn't replace him

Easily the 1st one. I like the second one as well but the emotion and the experience the first one takes you through is magical. Opening 3 sounds amazing as well though

Both are top tier, but something about Mukanjyo, paired with the visuals, makes it absolutely perfect, still one of my favorite OP’s ever.

I love the second opening and I feel like I'm the only person who thinks it's better than opening 1. It's got that style of music that I really like.

Definitly Dark Crow, it's not even close.
Man with a Mission is just the perfect pick for a song of this anime.

Op2, I can’t stand the ending of op1, it gives me a headache every time I hear it. The endings are among the best out of all anime though, I love both ed1 and ed2.

Neither. I wanted viking shit and I got generic rock instead.
And yes I'm aware genuine viking music isn't actually a thing but they could have gone with something inspired by more recent nordic folk music or even some weird larp thing like wardruna would be nice. Or viking metal like týr. Even something like manowar would be more appreciated.
Apologies for the rant.

1st OP was so boring. Idk why it’s winning, I literally skipped it every time. Dark crow on the other hand is a certified banger

Never skipped op 1 and 2. They are both very good, but the first one hit me harder. Just listening for the first time drove me to tears and let me feel the MC emotions. An opening that can do that makes it very special for me

Just watched them and to be honest, they were both pretty obnoxious. But I guess I’ll go with op 1. The visuals were pretty cool but the song was kinda meh. Op 2’s song and visuals were ok but it didn’t really blow me away like op 1’s did.

Metal has become trite and was poor at expressing the themes of Vinland Saga so definitely the second one.

Mukanjyo is an absolute banger. The 2nd one is great also, but that first one is just better.
