The official Twitter account for the second season of the television anime of Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga manga began streaming a short video titled "Episode 6.5 - Drowning in the Shadow" for the anime. The video depicts a scene not shown in the manga where Thorfinn, shown initially as he appears as a member of Askeladd's raiders, cuts down some men in the middle of a raid. When he enters a nearby house, he is shown as an adult, seeing a family cowering within the house.

Makoto Yukimura, the manga's original author, also offered a comment regarding the episode.
