Part 1: How many episodes Vindication: Blood of the Archmage has, act by act
40 episodes, 1 hour and 19 minutes in total, counted in the catalog on September 14, 2026. The table splits them by what is happening on screen; the acts are the ones the story itself marks, not chapter titles, because the episodes are only numbered.
| Stretch of the story | Episodes | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| The fall, the mountain, the survivors | 1 to 3 | 9 min 42 s |
| The Capital, the trials, the statue | 4 to 8 | 11 min 19 s |
| The trial by combat, the elves, the ring of steel | 9 to 17 | 15 min 44 s |
| The Elf Queen, the vindication, the refusal | 18 to 22 | 10 min 33 s |
| The necrotic circle, the riot, the sentence | 23 to 31 | 15 min 23 s |
| The torture, the seals, the uncles | 32 to 36 | 8 min 44 s |
| Lucas, the wedding, the exit | 37 to 40 | 7 min 25 s |
Part 2: The longest and the shortest episodes of Vindication: Blood of the Archmage
The longest episode is the first, at 4 minutes and 55 seconds, and it is long for a reason: it is the entire backstory, from little Cedric cheering his father on against the monster to the old woman freezing time to carry him out of the square, with the Royal Advisor’s blade in between. Nothing else in the series passes three minutes except episode 2, at 3 minutes and 4 seconds, which covers the fourteen years on the mountain and the goodbye.
The shortest is episode 29, at 59 seconds, and it is short for a reason too: it is the cursed boy’s testimony, the crowd spotting the mark of forbidden dark magic on him, and Cedric shouting that the real demon is hiding right behind them. Episode 10, the first match of the trial by combat against the chief mages of House Frost and House Gale, is one minute exactly. The average is just under two minutes.
The last episode, number 40, runs 2 minutes and 34 seconds: the wedding, the speech, the traitor cut down and the mob begging Cedric to take them along.
Part 3: How much of Vindication: Blood of the Archmage fits in twenty minutes
The first eight episodes add up to 21 minutes and 1 second and are a complete act: the death of the Archmage, the return, the survivors, the registration, the princess, the statue unveiled and the contestants smashing it, ending on Cedric’s strike and the line "what the hell is going on?". That is the natural stopping point if you only have a lunch break.
The next twenty minutes, episodes 9 to 19, are the trial by combat through to the Elf Queen’s reveal and the pardon of House Mandra. The remaining thirty-eight minutes are the vindication and everything the Capital does to undo it. All 40 are free and play back to back in the feed; the [recap](/en/articles/vindication-blood-of-the-archmage-recap) tells the story in order if you want to know what is in each stretch before starting.
