Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) spoilers ahead!
Summary:
The villains are not given much time in Frieren, but they are very interesting.
Aura's arc is tied to the only major battle in the anime.
Despite her cute and childlike appearance, Aura looks intimidating.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is primarily known for its plot, but the characters play an equally important role. Even though there is not much emotion in this anime, the heroes' stories are impressive. But it's not only the main characters that stand out.
The villains are not given much time, but they are very interesting as they are based on an entertaining concept. Perhaps the most popular villain so far is Aura, but what is the secret of her appeal?
Villains in Frieren
There isn't much of a focus on antagonists in Frieren. There are villains, but they don't appear very often. The demons, however, are impressive — their cunning and emotionlessness is one of the most interesting ideas of the series.
We didn't see many bad guys in the 16 episodes, and the main villain was defeated by the Himmel group at the beginning of the series. This fits well with the main idea of the show — a story about what happens after the big adventure.
At first it seemed that Aura would fulfill the role of the main boss, but her quick defeat was surprising. Of course, since the creators had built up so much tension around this character. Episode 10 was impressive — it surprised with an unexpected twist. Despite her power, Aura lost the battle against Frieren.
Aura's arc is tied to the only major battle in the anime. Perhaps that's part of the character's success — viewers really love the breaking of expectations. The moment when Frieren unleashed her power was one of the best in the anime, if not the most impressive.
Cute but intimidating
Many people don't understand Aura's popularity due to her relatively small role in the anime. The demon also doesn't have enough screen time to fully develop as a character. However, the secret of her popularity is easy to explain — like the other characters, she is well-developed.
Especially impressive is the girl's power: mind control is one of the most beloved abilities of anime characters among fans. Think of Lelouch from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch), for example.
Many also point out the good character design. Despite her cute and childlike appearance, Aura looks intimidating. Her character in particular is very appealing — the girl is very bossy and selfish. After all, viewers like villains, and when they have outstanding looks and character, they become extremely popular among fans.
Loli demon breaks all records!
