Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is receiving the hype it deserves. While the 6th episode showcases a short fight scene, the next threat for Frieren is one of the most anticipated foe in the anime. Recent news revealed a new key visual for the anime, revealing who will challenge Frieren, Fern, and Stark in their long journey.
The new visual gives a snippet of the enemies Frieren will meet on the next big battle. Facing off Frieren’s party, stands four demons. Just who are these menacing creatures?
The New Casts
Despite the demon king’s death, the remnants of his loyal followers remains. The demons have appeared yet again and bring forth their army. However, it also means new characters to get to know and don’t forget about their seiyuu. First off, let’s start with the minions.
Draht
This guy seems like he is the youngest out of the bunch. Draht appears young and innocent, with his hair covering half of his face. His character will be voiced by Koki Osuzu. Koki Osuzu is mostly known for his role in Ashito Aoi as Aoi.
Linie
If a demon can be cute, maybe Linie is the perfect example. However, don’t get too close because Linie is a merciless demon. Indeed, her outfit resembles gothic lolita fashion, which only adds to the deception. The voice for Linie will be done by Manaka Iwami. She appeared in one of the most hyped anime, Oshi No Ko, as Akane Kurokawa.
Lugner
The last underling will be Lugner, a tall and seemingly well-mannered demon. Lugner still looks friendly despite his stature. However, soon fans will learn whether it is safe or not to be close with his bunch. Lugner will be voiced by Junichi Suwabe. Fans might recognize his voice immediately. He played as Ryoumen Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen.
The Leader, Aura The Guillotine
Aura is one of the Seven Sages of Destruction, the strongest demons who served directly under the demon king. It has been 500 ears years she ascended to her throne. Aura has magenta hair with a pair of big horns poking out of her head. If you have watched The Quintessential Quintuplets, you might recognize her voice right away. Ayana Taketatsu will be the voice of Aura. It will be interesting to see her filling in as a scary and powerful character in this anime.
Expect Big Fights
The first time fans got to see how Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End was when she put down Qual, the Elder Sage of Corruption. The fight was fast-paced and intense. However, this fight was handled mainly by Fern, with Frieren only delivering the final blow.
So far, the anime hasn’t showed how serious Frieren can be. Fern and Stark mostly took charge of the assault in past episodes. However, with the reveal of the new enemies, fans can expect Frieren facing Aura, while Fern and Stark will deal with her minions. Throughout the aired episodes, Frieren only used Zoltraak, also known as the killing magic, at most. The rest of the magic that she had done was either oddly sweet, practical, or just plain weird. So, it will be a huge impact for the fans if the anime shows how deadly Frieren’s magic can be, or at least how powerful she really is.
It will be interesting for sure to see who is stronger, Aura or Frieren. Certainly, Aura The Guillotine is quite strong. As one of the Seven Sages of Destruction, it would make sense if she is on the top ranking of the strongest demons in this anime. However, if you have watched the first four episodes, you know Frieren was an apprentice of the Great Mage Flamme, said to be one of the strongest mages to ever lived. Keep up with Frieren and watch the anime on Crunchyroll or Muse Asia YouTube channel.
