Easy-to-Please Frieren and a Pouting Fern... The "Love Triangle" in Episode 35 of "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" Is Hilariously Adorable

Fern (CV: Kana Ichinose), appearing in the anime "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," is known for being reliable, but her unexpectedly childish side is part of her charm. In Episode 35, her "pouting face" triggered by jealousy toward Methode (CV: Reina Ueda), who was doting on Frieren (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki), sent fans' hearts fluttering.

In Episode 35, Frieren, Fern, and Methode were scouting for demons in the forest. During their search, Methode, who has a weakness for "small and cute things," asked Frieren, "May I pat your head?" While Frieren initially looked reluctant, her attitude shifted instantly once Methode handed her a grimoire. "You can pat me as much as you like," she replied.

When Methode went further, asking, "Can I give you a little squeeze?" Frieren answered immediately, "Go right ahead." However, seeing Frieren getting hugged by Methode right in front of her seemed to spark a fit of jealousy in Fern. Being pulled along silently and forcefully by a grumpy Fern, Frieren whined, "Stop it... You're going to pull me apart!"

This comical interaction among an unusual group of characters became a hot topic online, with comments like, "Fern is absolutely furious lol," "Fern's jealousy is killing me lmao," and "The gap between this and the serious scenes is amazing." Many fans were warmed by the scene, saying, "Fern’s pouting face is irresistible," "I could watch this forever," "So precious," and "Frieren being so easy to win over and Fern being jealous is just too sweet."
