What happened in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Episode #10?
Episode #10 focuses on the climactic showdown between Frieren and the demon Aura, but it also delves into Frieren’s nearly immortal past. As a child, Frieren’s village was destroyed by demons, after which the powerful magician Flamme protected her. Under Flamme’s tutelage, Frieren learned to hide her true mana, causing the demons to underestimate her. This gives her an advantage in combat and is especially useful against Aura’s techniques. With Frieren’s vast amount of mana, the ogre was able to enslave the demon and command Aura to behead himself, ending that demonic threat.
Demons do not hide their mana, which allows Frieren to take Aura by surprise.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Episode #11 Will Start the Next Season
With the demonic threat defeated, Frieren and her party can now continue north towards the realm of the dead. This will cause the Goblin and her companions to encounter more towns with people who need her help. This could bring the series back to the episodic roots that made Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End’s premiere so great. However, since Aura is a powerful demon, the defeat of her forces could cause other powerful demons to attempt to hunt down Frieren’s group. Both of these outcomes have rich dramatic potential and thus both could be potential directions for the story to develop.
Regardless of what happens in the next episode, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End still wins the trust of many fans thanks to the quality of the previous installments. If the series maintains this high standard, it could easily become the best anime of 2023. So, even if it’s less enjoyable than episode #10, Freezing: Beyond Journey’s End episode #11 would probably still be excellent.
Do not miss Freezing: Beyond Journey’s End episode #11 when it airs on Crunchyroll on November 17, 2023.
