Frieren finds a Flamme’s grimoire in almost every episode, and they are always fake! What’s the deal with those grimoires?
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) spoilers ahead!
Summary
Frieren often finds grimoires attributed to Flamme, her teacher, but they are usually fakes.
Writers could be attributing their work to Flamme to sell the books at a higher price.
Flamme could have written some misleading books to prevent her knowledge from spreading among her enemies, for example, demons.
Frieren could have written some of those books for fun while waiting to become a hero.
Whenever Frieren finds a grimoire of her teacher Flamme, it is almost always a fake. Only the book in Episode 4 was really written by Flamme. But where do all these fakes come from? Let’s theorize!
Common Green
The explanation doesn’t have to be complicated. People like money, and Flamme is a legendary mage. If you write a book on magic, you could as well attribute it to Flamme to get more money when you sell it. Simple as that. It also means that Frieren could be hunting for fakes to protect her teacher’s reputation.
Is Flamme Involved in Making Fake Grimoires?
Of course, a different scenario is also possible. Just like Frieren, Flamme hated demons, so she could have created fake grimoires to confuse them and keep true knowledge away from them. Admittedly, the books Frieren finds are not in demon’s hands, but it doesn’t mean none of them can end up there.
Attempting to mislead the enemy is something Flamme would definitely do, given how she taught Frieren to hide the true potential of her mana. It means that Frieren is undermining Flamme’s efforts. Possibly, she was not in on that secret, and she likes books too much to leave them to others.
Is Frieren Involved in Making Fake Grimoires?
Okay, this one’s more of a joke, but some fans suggested that Frieren needed to spend her time somehow before she went on a quest to destroy the Demon King. So why not write a bunch of grimoires?
Some fans even compared it to fanfiction. After all, Flamme taught Frieren everything, so Flamme could create grimoires for fun or money and attribute them to Flamme as a joke. Since then, she grew up and realized that she was fooling people and it had to stop. So she collects the books she created. It’s a funny idea, and who knows, maybe it's the right one!
