When Did Frieren Become a Movie? The Magical Clash Lauded as a “Battle of the Gods” in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

The decisive encounter between Frieren and her own duplicate finally reached its conclusion in episode 26 of the anime. The ultimate battle, which saw not only a clash between great mages but also the entry of Fern (voiced by Kana Ichinose), was a high-stakes fight reminiscent of a final boss encounter. In the climax, Fern cornered the replica of Frieren (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki), her own mentor, and in that decisive moment, the real Frieren delivered a powerful blow, beautifully defeating the duplicate. The spectacularly animated battle scenes between Frieren and Fern created a huge buzz on social media, with a flood of excited reactions such as “That magic battle was the best!” and “This has to be a movie!!!!!!”.
