What Happened in Frieren Episode 11?
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End episode 11 steps away from the action as Frieren and her companions travel in the cold northern lands. The group find an emergency cabin after Stark struggles and nearly loses consciousness in the cold. This cabin is occupied by Kraft, an elf that still believes in the Goddess. Stark receives care in the cabin, and Kraft imparts some wisdom to the “young” Frieren, implying that he’s much older of an elf that he may seem to be.
In episode 12, Frieren, Fern, and Stark finally arrive in the village where Himmel failed to pull the Sword of the Brave 80 years ago. This sword may only be pulled by the hero fated to defeat the scourge. While Frieren is hunting demons, she remembers her time with Himmel all those decades ago.
While waiting for the new Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End episode, fans can watch episodes of the Frieren mini anime. Three episodes have been released so far on TOHO Animation’s YouTube channel. More episodes of the mini anime will be released over time, so stay tuned.
Lastly, Crunchyroll’s overview of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End reads:
The mage Frieren defeated the Demon King alongside the hero Himmel’s party after a 10-year quest. Peace was restored to the kingdom. Because she is an elf, she is able to live over a thousand years. She promises Himmel and the others that she will be back to see them and then sets out on a journey by herself. Fifty years later, Frieren goes to visit Himmel and the others. She remained unchanged, but Himmel and the others have aged and only a little of their lives remain. Later, she witnesses Himmel’s death. Frieren is pained by her desire to have spent more time getting to know people. With that regret in her heart, she then goes on a journey to do just that. On her journey, she meets many people and many events await her.
