It’s too early to talk about the ending, but there are some ideas.
Summary:
- The Frieren manga is nowhere near the end, but fans are speculating about the finale.
- There are several theories about the ending.
- Fans really don’t want Frieren to end with Fern’s death.
Even though readers say that the Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) manga is still nowhere near its end, they can’t help but think about the finale of this incredible story.
There will hardly be something mind-blowing at the end of Frieren; fans expect the ending to be rather peaceful. But there are various types of peaceful, and some of them might even break your heart. So let’s discuss a couple of theories.
Eisen’s death
Eisen is the only member of Frieren’s party who’s still alive. She had to say goodbye to Himmel first, as the story started with his funeral. It was the event that set the entire thing in motion and made Frieren reevaluate human bonds.
Then there was Heiter, who died a bit later, reminding Frieren once again that human life is very short. But Eisen is not human, he’s a dwarf, so we don’t really know when he can die.
That’s why fans think there will be enough time before his death for the new party to achieve all their goals, come back and say goodbye to Eisen. It would also be symbolic, since the story started with the death of one of Frieren’s party members, and will end with the death of the last.
Fern and Stark start a family
There have been a lot of hints at a possible romance between Fern and Stark, and manga readers think we’re getting there. They genuinely hope that these two will understand their feelings for each other and start a family.
Frieren might be some sort of a weird grandma to Fern and Stark’s children, teaching them how to use magic and cast spells.
Imagine Frieren watching the kids play with magic, while peacefully sitting outside and thinking about Himmel and her bond with Fern and Stark. This is the perfect moment to let the credits roll, if you ask us.
Fern dies
There’s also this extremely heart-wrenching theory that the story might end with the death of Fern. All fans understand that Frieren will live longer than Fern and Stark, she’s an elven mage and can live for thousands of years. However, no one really wants to see that.
But we can’t deny that such an outcome is possible. Fern might die at the end of the story to show us the difference between Frieren’s perception of Himmel’s death and hers. We’ll see how much she’s changed because Fern’s death will definitely break her heart and make her cry.
