Rolling on the floor and throwing a tantrum... Episode 31 of "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" features an anime-original extended scene of Frieren’s "ugly crying" that is uniquely addictive and adorable.

While Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki), the protagonist of the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," usually has a dry personality, she is also surprisingly expressive. From her withered "shio-shio" face when she’s feeling down to the various "funny faces" she has shown throughout the series, the crying face in Episode 31 is sure to leave an impact.

In Episode 31, after Stark (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi) makes a tactless remark, Frieren warns him, saying, "There won't be a third time." When Stark timidly asks, "By the way, what happens the third time?" Frieren proudly replies, "I'll start wailing. I'm scary when I throw a tantrum. Even Hero Himmel was terrified of me."

The flashback scene depicts Frieren rolling around on the floor and sobbing uncontrollably. This "ugly crying," which is a complete departure from her usual cool demeanor, even caused the great Hero Himmel (CV: Nobuhiko Okamoto) to mutter, "She’s scary."

While the original manga depicted this in just a single panel, the anime version dedicated about 20 seconds to Frieren’s chaotic tantrum. It was well-received by fans, with comments like "So cute that this is anime-original lol," "Ugly-crying Frieren is the best," and "Incredibly cute lol." The comical performance of voice actress Atsumi Tanezaki was also praised, with fans saying, "This is peak Tanezaki theater lol" and "Her full-effort crying acting was so god-tier that my abs collapsed from laughing."
