The unexpected "physical attack" by Denken, who seems like the intellectual type, caused viewers to erupt with comments like "Too much guts, lol," "What a great character!" and "The surprise fistfight was shocking, lol." When this episode aired, "Denken" and "fistfight" even became trending topics on X (formerly Twitter).

Currently, the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is being streamed in its entirety. It is based on the manga of the same name written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe, serialized in "Weekly Shonen Sunday." The story is set in the world "after" the demon king has been defeated, following Frieren (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki), a magician who has lived for over 1,000 years, on her journey to "understand humans." The original comics have received numerous awards and garnered immense support and acclaim, with 14 volumes published and a cumulative circulation exceeding 24 million copies. Additionally, the second season of the TV anime is set to air in January 2026.
