Frieren Sentences Iconic Villain to Death in New Promo From the Creators

Anticipation for Season 2 of “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” intensifies, as creators and anime team generously share engaging content and artwork. From the collaboration with Detective Conan, to the release of a detailed Frieren briefcase replica for the adorable plush toys seen on social media in various settings, fans are receiving special treatment indeed. To top it off, an official illustration based on one of Season 1’s most memorable scenes has just been revealed, adding another layer of excitement to the wait.

This year’s theme for the Sunday Culture Festival 2025, previously known as Twitter X, has been unveiled by their official account. The focus is on career experiences. Intriguingly, an artwork by renowned manga artist Tsukasa Abe has also been shared. The illustration features Frieren, the protagonist of his hit fantasy manga, dressed in a judge’s dark robe and holding a wooden mallet. Aura the Guillotine is depicted standing in the defendant’s box, presenting her scale. Both pieces are visually stunning, and it seems Tsukasa Abe’s creative inspiration is at its peak once again, as his manga has resumed publication following a hiatus, much to the delight of fans everywhere.

In the story of “The Guillotine Arc” within “Aura,” Frieren encounters Aura once more following a long time apart. Aura chooses to engage her power, the Scales of Obedience, which compares their mana levels. Aura was confident in her victory, not realizing Frieren’s ancient trick of concealing her total mana strength to surprise demons. Instead, Aura’s talent worked against her, and as the defeated one, she was forced to obey whatever command. This event resulted in the well-known scene that has been imitated and reenacted frequently, where Frieren orders Aura to take her own life as she departs, leading to Aura ultimately beheading herself.

The sketches depict Frieren acting as a judge, with Aura in the defendant’s seat, which ironically echoes their switched roles from before, when it was actually Aura who found herself on the wrong end of the scales. This intriguing scene, showcasing Frieren’s sternness against demons, left fans in awe. For those eagerly anticipating more of Frieren’s exploits, season 2 will not disappoint as it delves deeper into her adventures alongside Fern and Starrk, where they venture into a realm overrun by demons causing chaos. The wait for January 2026 is nearly over!
