Important Scene Hinting Why Aura Feared Himmel in "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End"

In the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," the hero Himmel (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto) might have been Aura's (voiced by Ayana Taketatsu) nemesis. Episode 10 includes a crucial cut that suggests why Aura stayed hidden for about 50 years.

Aura is one of the Seven Sages directly under the Demon King, a great demon who has lived for over 500 years. She uses the spell "Azelieuse," where she places the soul of herself and another on a "Scale of Subjugation" to control the one with less magic power.

Despite her power, it seems Aura was quite afraid of Himmel. In Episode 10, Aura, having been revived, confronts Frieren (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki). There is a fleeting moment showing a cut from their past battle, including Frieren and her companions. Aura, who could normally control those with lower magic power, was shown being slashed on the shoulder by Himmel and bleeding.
