What Happened in Frieren Episode 19? (Recap)
Frieren, Lawine, and Kanne finally catch a Stille in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End episode 19, but it comes at the cost of attracting virtually every mage in the forest. Fern, Übel, and Land also caught a Stille, and Wirbel’s group is determined to take it from them by force. Many other inexperienced mages are also in a frenzied state, since Lawine frozen the entire lake at the center of the exam grounds.
Denken observes the other mages from afar and devises a plan. His plan involves seeking out the mana of the Frieren’s group in order to pinpoint their location and take their captured Stille by force. Since Frieren’s capture method must use mana, she can be detected from a distance. Once the Stille is captured, Denken’s teammate Laofen finds the group and readies for an attack to end the episode.
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.
