SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
SIGN    At the northernmost end of the continent,
    I arrived at the place that
    the people of this world call heaven:
    Aureole, the land where souls rest.
SIGN    Many souls gather there, and I spoke with
    friends who once fought alongside me.
    —Flamme the Legendary Mage
[01:59] Himmel
    Frieren.
[02:08] Frieren
    The royal capital's in sight.
[02:10] Heiter
    The adventurers are making
    their triumphant return.
[02:13] Heiter
    They must be celebrating in the city.
[02:17] Himmel
    We'll have to look for work once we're back.
[02:20] Frieren
    You're already thinking about that?
[02:23] Himmel
    It's important, after all.
[02:24] Himmel
    We've defeated the Demon King,
    but it's not over.
[02:28] Himmel
    We have the whole rest
    of our lives ahead of us.
[02:31] Eisen
    Work, huh?
[02:33] Heiter
    I'd like something where
    I can drink on the job.
[02:36] Himmel
    Aren't you a priest?
[02:40] Frieren
    I suppose you're right.
[02:43] Himmel
    Frieren, the life ahead of you will surely
    be much longer than we can imagine.
[02:52] Frieren
    Perhaps.
SIGN    Beyond Journey's End
[03:30] King
    Himmel the Hero,
[03:32] King
    Eisen the Warrior, Heiter the Priest,
[03:36] King
    and Frieren the Mage.
[03:39] King
    Thank you for defeating the Demon King.
[03:43] King
    Now our world will enter an age of peace.
[04:02] Himmel
    The king's going to erect
    statues of us in the plaza.
[04:07] Himmel
    I'm not sure they'll be able to faithfully
    recreate my handsome looks, though.
[04:15] Frieren
    How self-serving of him.
[04:16] Frieren
    He only gave us ten copper coins
    when we left on our adventure.
[04:22] Heiter
    Now, now, Frieren.
    Tonight, we drink for free.
[04:26] Heiter
    I'd say we're even, wouldn't you?
[04:29] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[04:38] Eisen
    It's over.
[04:41] Himmel
    Yeah.
[04:42] Himmel
    This is the end of our adventure.
[04:46] Heiter
    It's been ten years, huh?
[04:48] Heiter
    We've been through a lot.
[04:52] Heiter
    The day we departed...
[04:54] Heiter
    Himmel and Eisen were nearly executed
    for speaking rudely to the king.
[04:54] King
    Kill them.
[04:56] Frieren
    We'll give them a talking to.
[04:57] Heiter
    Shall we lick your boots?
[04:58] Frieren
    One misstep, and our adventure
    would've ended there.
[05:02] Himmel
    Sometimes, Heiter was too
    hungover to do anything.
[05:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    You're as pallid as an undead.
    Are you all right?
[05:14] (Flashback) Heiter
    No.
[05:15] (Flashback) Himmel
    No, huh?
[05:17] Eisen
    It was a weekly occurrence.
[05:19] Frieren
    I, on the other hand, was exceptional.
[05:21] Eisen
    We thought about leaving you behind
    when that mimic tried to eat you.
[05:25] (Flashback) Himmel
    Seriously? We told her it was a trap.
[05:26] Frieren
    It's dark and scary in here!
[05:28] (Flashback) Eisen
    Why don't we leave the elf behind?
[05:34] Himmel
    We have nothing but terrible memories.
[05:39] Himmel
    But I had fun.
[05:41] Himmel
    I'm glad I got to adventure with all of you.
[05:46] Heiter
    Likewise.
[05:47] Frieren
    It was a mere ten-year adventure.
[05:50] Himmel
    "A mere ten-year adventure"?
[05:51] Himmel
    But that's an entire decade
    we spent adventuring together.
[05:54] Himmel
    Look at Heiter. He's turned into an old man.
[05:58] Heiter
    That's rude.
[05:59] Frieren
    He always looked like that.
[06:01] Heiter
    That's rude.
[06:09] Eisen
    It's nearly time.
[06:19] Heiter
    The Era Meteor Shower, was it?
[06:22] Himmel
    It happens once every fifty years.
[06:26] Himmel
    Perfect for marking the
    start of an era of peace.
[06:32] Himmel
    They're beautiful.
[06:34] Frieren
    The view's not so good
    from inside the city, though.
[06:36] Himmel
    I'm having a moment over here.
    Don't spoil the mood.
[06:41] Frieren
    Next time, then.
[06:45] Frieren
    I know a place where you
    can see them more clearly.
[06:47] Frieren
    I'll take you there in fifty years.
[06:53] Frieren
    What?
[06:54] Himmel
    It's nothing.
[06:58] Himmel
    You're right. Let's go see them together.
[07:24] Frieren
    Well, I should go.
[07:26] Himmel
    What are you going to do now?
[07:28] Frieren
    I'm going to continue collecting spells.
[07:31] Frieren
    I plan to travel around the central lands
    for the next hundred years or so.
[07:34] Frieren
    I'll stop by once in a while.
[07:42] Heiter
    I can't understand what
    being an elf must be like.
[07:44] Himmel
    Seriously, how long has she been around?
[07:48] Heiter
    To her, fifty or even a hundred years
    might be a trifling thing.
[08:44] Shopkeeper
    Shadow dragon horns?
[08:46] Shopkeeper
    We don't have those here.
[08:49] Shopkeeper
    Haven't seen a shadow dragon
    in twenty or thirty years.
[08:52] Frieren
    I see. That's no good.
    I need one for summoning.
[08:59] Frieren
    Come to think of it, I think Himmel still has
    the horn we got at the Demon King's castle.
[09:05] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's exuding some kind of evil aura.
[09:08] (Flashback) Himmel
    It's not harmful to people, is it?
[09:10] (Flashback) Frieren
    I don't know.
[09:12] (Flashback) Himmel
    You don't know, huh?
[09:14] Frieren
    It's nearly time for the
    Era Meteor Shower again.
[09:17] Frieren
    I'll pick the horn up when I visit him.
[09:24] Frieren
    The city's changed quite a bit
    since I was last here.
[09:42] Frieren
    It should be around here.
[09:45] Himmel
    Frieren?
[09:47] Frieren
    Himmel...
[09:55] Frieren
    You're so old.
[09:56] Himmel
    Do you have to put it so bluntly?
[10:00] Himmel
    I'm still pretty handsome
    at this age, though, aren't I?
[10:06] Himmel
    It's been fifty years.
    You look the same as you ever did.
[10:11] Himmel
    I thought I'd never see you again.
[10:17] Himmel
    The Era Meteor Shower, huh?
[10:19] Himmel
    That brings back memories.
[10:21] Frieren
    About that thing we looted from
    the Demon King's castle...
[10:24] Himmel
    You mean the shadow dragon horn?
[10:27] Himmel
    I've never forgotten about it.
[10:30] Himmel
    My cabinet's been exuding
    an evil aura all this time.
[10:34] Frieren
    Sorry, I think.
[10:36] Frieren
    You could've stashed it
    in a shed or something.
[10:41] Himmel
    I couldn't do that.
[10:47] Himmel
    You may not have thought much
    of leaving it with me,
[10:51] Himmel
    but to me, it was a treasure
    entrusted to me by a dear friend.
[10:57] Himmel
    I had to return it to you someday.
[11:09] Frieren
    It's not that big a deal.
[11:32] Frieren
    Himmel, are you ready yet?
[11:34] Frieren
    You're bald, anyway. There's no point
    in fussing over your appearance.
[11:38] Himmel
    There are things we bald men
    are particular about.
[11:47] Himmel
    Now, shall we go see the Era Meteor Shower?
[11:59] Frieren
    You've become rather dignified, Heiter.
[12:02] Heiter
    I'm a bishop of the holy city, after all.
[12:04] Heiter
    You haven't changed at all.
[12:07] Frieren
    Don't pat my head.
[12:11] Frieren
    Eisen, you haven't changed much.
[12:14] Eisen
    Is that how I seem to you?
[12:16] Frieren
    I would expect as much from a dwarf.
[12:18] Himmel
    So, where's this place where we can
    see the meteor shower clearly?
[12:22] Heiter
    We're going there now?
[12:24] Heiter
    It's a bit early to see the
    Era Meteor Shower, isn't it?
[12:28] Frieren
    Yeah. It's about a week's walk from here.
[12:32] Eisen
    It's that far away?
[12:35] Himmel
    Unbelievable.
[12:36] Himmel
    You should be kinder to the elderly.
[12:42] Himmel
    This brings back memories.
[12:44] Himmel
    Traveling together like this makes me
    feel like we've returned to those days.
[12:52] Himmel
    We journeyed to all sorts of places.
[12:56] Himmel
    Everything seemed so brilliant and new.
[13:25] Himmel
    And you were always there
    in those beautiful memories.
[13:34] Himmel
    I'd been looking forward to the day
    when we'd all be together again.
[13:40] Himmel
    Thank you, Frieren.
[13:43] Himmel
    Because of you, I had this delightful
    adventure at the very end.
[14:12] Himmel
    They're beautiful.
[14:41] Heiter
    I think Himmel was happy.
[14:46] Frieren
    You think so?
[14:54] Attendant A
    She was one of Mr. Himmel's companions?
[14:58] Attendant A
    I haven't seen her look sad once today.
[15:00] Attendant B
    How heartless.
[15:03] Heiter
    Now, now! We're not wearing
    sad expressions, either.
[15:07] Attendant C
    Show some respect, Bishop!
[15:08] Attendant D
    You're heartless!
[15:11] Heiter
    You wound me.
[15:37] Frieren
    It's not like I knew anything about him.
[15:53] Frieren
    We only traveled together
    for a mere ten years.
[16:04] Frieren
    I knew human lives were short, but...
[16:10] Frieren
    Why didn't I try to get to know him better?
[16:23] Frieren
    Don't pat my head.
[16:34] Heiter
    I should return to the holy city.
[16:41] Heiter
    Let me get a good look at your faces.
[16:44] Heiter
    This will probably be
    the last time I see you.
[16:47] Frieren
    Are you unwell?
[16:48] Heiter
    My years of drinking have caught up to me.
[16:51] Eisen
    It's divine punishment.
[16:54] Heiter
    If you're ever in the holy city,
    offer a drink at my grave.
[17:00] Frieren
    Heiter, you're not afraid of dying?
[17:05] Heiter
    We're the party of adventurers
    that saved the world.
[17:09] Heiter
    We'll surely be living the good life
    in Heaven after death.
[17:13] Heiter
    That's the whole reason
    I fought alongside you.
[17:17] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[17:21] Heiter
    If you'll excuse me.
[17:31] Frieren
    I should get going, too.
[17:35] Eisen
    You're off to collect more spells?
[17:37] Frieren
    There's that, too,
[17:40] Frieren
    but I want to learn more about humans.
[17:45] Eisen
    I see.
[17:47] Frieren
    So I wanted to ask you something.
[17:49] Frieren
    Seeing as how I'm a mage, having a powerful
    warrior to defend me would be a huge help.
[17:55] Eisen
    Give me a break.
[17:57] Eisen
    I'm too old to swing an axe now.
[18:03] Eisen
    Don't make that face, Frieren.
[18:06] Eisen
    Surprisingly, life slows down
    once you've lost your vigor.
[18:12] Frieren
    I see.
[18:14] Frieren
    I'll see you later, Eisen.
[18:17] Eisen
    Yeah. See you later.
SIGN    Episode 1: The Journey's End
[19:00] Frieren
    That's the tree I saw earlier.
[19:02] Frieren
    I always get lost in these woods.
[19:05] Frieren
    Where am I?
SIGN    20 years after the death of Himmel the Hero,
    on the outskirts of the holy city of Strahl in the central lands
[19:10] Fern
    Are you looking for something?
[19:18] Fern
    Is something the matter?
[19:20] Frieren
    I'm looking for the home
    of a man named Heiter.
[19:24] Fern
    Then you're a visitor.
[19:30] Frieren
    You're still alive, you corrupt priest?
[19:34] Heiter
    Turns out it's harder than I thought
    to make a stylish exit.
[19:38] Frieren
    I brought some liquor to offer at your grave.
[19:41] Frieren
    Would you like a drink?
[19:42] Heiter
    I gave up drinking.
[19:44] Frieren
    I see.
[19:46] Frieren
    I doubt the Goddess will forgive you
    even if you clean up your act now.
[19:58] Heiter
    Thank you.
[20:05] Frieren
    Who is she?
[20:06] Heiter
    Her name is Fern.
[20:08] Heiter
    She's a war orphan from the southern lands.
[20:13] Frieren
    It's not like you to
    volunteer to help people.
[20:18] Frieren
    You're not Himmel, after all.
[20:22] Heiter
    Frieren, why did you come to visit me?
[20:25] Frieren
    I was in the holy city
    picking up some things.
[20:28] Frieren
    I've been trying to get to know the people
    I meet on my travels as much as possible.
[20:33] Frieren
    And I owe you a lot, so I came to
    repay my debts before you died.
[20:41] Heiter
    In that case, I have a request.
[20:45] Heiter
    Will you take on an apprentice?
[20:49] Heiter
    Fern has potential as a mage.
[20:53] Heiter
    Will you take her with you on your travels?
[20:59] Frieren
    I'm sorry, Heiter.
    That's the one thing I can't do.
[21:02] Frieren
    She'd only get in my way.
[21:05] Frieren
    You know how often
    apprentice mages die in battle.
[21:09] Frieren
    I'm not sending a child my friend
    asked me to look after to her death.
[21:16] Heiter
    I see. Then I have another request.
[21:26] Heiter
    This was unearthed from
    the tomb of Ewig the Sage.
[21:30] Heiter
    This grimoire is said to contain lost
    spells of resurrection and immortality.
[21:37] Frieren
    I find it hard to believe
    such magic really exists.
[21:41] Heiter
    That's part of why I'd like you to decipher it.
[21:45] Heiter
    Can you do that?
[21:47] Frieren
    It's written in code using pictures.
[21:49] Frieren
    The people of this era
    really liked this kind of thing.
[21:52] Frieren
    I could do it, given five or six years.
[21:55] Heiter
    I see.
[21:57] Frieren
    But why do you want this deciphered?
[22:00] Frieren
    I thought you weren't afraid of dying.
[22:03] Heiter
    I have two reasons.
[22:06] Heiter
    The first is that when I said that,
    I was just putting on a brave face for you.
[22:10] Heiter
    The second is that I'm now more
    afraid of dying than I was before.
[22:15] Heiter
    Even if I can't achieve immortality,
    I'd like a bit more time.
[22:28] Heiter
    Besides, the holy scriptures tell us
    to live healthy lives.
[22:32] Heiter
    A long life is the ultimate
    expression of that, Frieren.
[22:35] Frieren
    You corrupt priest.
[22:39] Heiter
    Also, in your spare time,
    will you teach Fern magic?
[22:46] Heiter
    As a priest, I don't have that knowledge.
[22:51] Frieren
    I could do that.
[23:01] Frieren
    There you are.
[23:04] Frieren
    I've been looking everywhere for you.
[23:06] Frieren
    Do you always train in the woods?
[23:09] Fern
    Was finding me difficult even for you?
[23:13] Fern
    Mr. Heiter often tells me
    I'm practically invisible.
[23:19] Fern
    It's a very good thing, isn't it?
[23:23] Frieren
    It is.
[23:27] Frieren
    It's true. I can barely detect her mana.
[23:32] Frieren
    Her control over her mana is exceptional.
[23:35] Frieren
    How much has she studied at such a young age?
[23:39] Fern
    Mr. Heiter said when I can blast a hole
    in that rock, I'll be a proper mage.
[23:46] Frieren
    Oh? Heiter knows what he's
    talking about. That's—
[23:55] Fern
    As you just saw, my magic
    dissipates and doesn't reach it.
[24:00] Frieren
    I see.
[24:02] Fern
    What should I do to train?
[24:05] Frieren
    Can I ask you something first?
[24:09] Frieren
    Do you like magic?
[24:11] Fern
    Somewhat.
[24:16] Frieren
    Just like me, then.
[25:50] Heiter
    Is Fern's training coming along smoothly?
[25:50] Frieren
    Are you trying to put on
    a brave face again, Heiter?
[25:51] Herbalist
    It saddens me to see him treated like this.
[25:53] Frieren
    But they're worth looking for.
[25:53] Herbalist
    Magic sure is amazing, isn't it?
[25:53] Fern
    You keep collecting the strangest spells.
[25:55] Heiter
    It'd be a waste for you to die.
[25:55] Himmel
    Someday, I'd like to show them to you.
