Serie's "extremely displeased look" closely resembles the "disappointed face" Frieren often shows when she's feeling down. Some viewers speculate it might be an expression unique to Elves, indicating that Serie and Frieren might share more in common as Elves than their disagreements suggest.

Currently being streamed in its entirety, the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" is based on the manga of the same name by author Kanehito Yamada and artist Tsukasa Abe, serialized in "Weekly Shōnen Sunday." Set in the world after the demon king's defeat, the story follows the 1,000-year-old magician Frieren on a journey to understand humanity. With the original comic having won numerous awards and achieving over 24 million in cumulative sales across 14 released volumes, the second season of the TV anime is set to air from January 2026.
