What Happened in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode #8?
Episode #8 kicked off with a swift resolution to the cliffhanger that left us hanging in the previous episode. Frieren effortlessly overpowered the demon who had tried to take her life while she was imprisoned. Subsequently, tensions escalated between the human leader Granat and the demon envoys, resulting in the demons swiftly overpowering the human guards and capturing Granat as their captive. Concurrently, Fern and Stark ventured into Granat's stronghold to mount a rescue mission. Meanwhile, Frieren made the decision to depart from the town. Though Fern managed to inflict an injury on one of the envoys, they are relentlessly pursuing both her and Stark. At the same time, Frieren finds herself locked in a high-stakes confrontation against the formidable demon known as Aura the Guillotine and her formidable army.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode #9 Will Feature Awesome Battles
Episode #9 is anticipated to showcase two thrilling battles simultaneously, building on the suspenseful cliffhanger. The encounter involving Fern, Stark, and the demon envoys promises to be particularly intense as both Fern and Stark are considered underdogs. The demons, leveraging Lugner's blood magic, are likely to catch them off guard with a surprise attack. On the other hand, Frieren's confrontation with Aura will present a contrasting dynamic due to Frieren's near-immortal strength. Lugner attests to her genius contributions in developing magic capable of harming demons, implying that she may effortlessly overpower Aura's forces. However, Frieren herself acknowledges Aura's formidable power, suggesting that the demon leader might pose some challenges for her.
The show typically doesn't prioritize these grand battles, but it has proven its ability to execute them effectively. Considering that this upcoming episode is expected to be action-packed, it's possible that the creators will go all out and deliver fights that compete with or even surpass other groundbreaking anime this season, such as Jujutsu Kaisen. Should they achieve this, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End episode #9 could be one of the standout episodes of the year.
