Even during her travels with Himmel and the rest of her previous party, Frieren would frequently fall for Mimic traps. Once again, seeing her get swallowed has prompted many fans to offer amused responses such as, “It’s a classic,” “She never learns, lol,” “I’ve seen this more than I’ve seen my parents’ faces,” “A two-panel instant gag,” and “What kind of mage experience is that?”

The anime “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” is based on the manga of the same name, serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday, written by Kanehito Yamada and illustrated by Tsukasa Abe. The story takes place in a post-demon king world and follows Frieren, a mage who has lived for over a thousand years, as she embarks on a journey to understand humanity. The original manga has received multiple awards, widespread support, and high acclaim. As of Volume 14, the series has surpassed 24 million copies in circulation. It has also been announced that the second season of the television anime will begin airing in January 2026.
