It’s one of the reasons we love him so much, anyway.
Summary:
Himmel was only 26, which is basically a baby compared to Frieren.
Despite this, Himmel showed himself to be wiser than Frieren sometimes.
His incredible personality makes him even better and more mature for the audience.
Let’s stop pretending that Himmel is not our favorite character in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) and come clean. Although he’s not the main protagonist, and he’s been dead since the first episode of the series, he is omnipresent in the anime because he was the one who influenced Frieren this much.
She says it herself: he was the one who made her rethink human connections. Like we didn’t know that already!
Is Himmel too young?
When it comes to Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a fair reply to this question would be “define young.” If we compare him to Frieren, then he’s just a small baby who has experienced nothing. But if we look at him with our human eyes, we understand that he’s on his way to becoming a proper adult.
Himmel is 26, and while this is not a teenager anymore, and many people nowadays have a proper job, tons of responsibility and even a family and kids at this age, it’s still pretty young. Young adult, as they say. Someone who still has plenty to learn.
Himmel is very wise
Yet, fans say that Himmel is incredibly wise for his age. They even compare him to Frieren, who never completely understood Himmel’s actions. And, moreover, Himmel’s love for her.
Himmel’s kind and warm personality is to be thanked for that, mostly. He truly understands people and is capable of effortlessly getting along with others. This is one of the reasons why Frieren got so inspired by him. Himmel is very insightful and charismatic, that’s why he’s so attractive to the viewers.
On top of that, Himmel is shown to us through Frieren’s eyes, and since he was the trigger for her life reevaluation, we also see him as such. He impressed the main protagonist so much and impacted her life with his demeanor and decisions, that’s why we see him as a big influence, too.
It doesn’t mean that his portrayal is inaccurate, though. Himmel is the best boy, no arguments. But the way Frieren sees him definitely shapes our perception of him one way or another.
Himmel’s views were also constantly challenged, but he remained resolute in his beliefs. His life experience made him the type of person he was, and he had the ability to analyze and think things through. Himmel’s ability to observe and empathize with people makes him look even wiser and more mature, and adds more beauty to this incredible character.
