We don't have a problem with emotional attachment to Frieren's party members.
Instead of the action-packed journey at the beginning, we see the adventure's end.
There seems to be a lack of a hero like Himmel in the new party.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Sousou no Frieren) is known for its special atmosphere and memorable heroes. The characters are a very important part of the story, as we explore the world of this anime together with them. We don't seem to have a problem with the emotional connection to Frieren's party members. But didn't you feel that they were missing another participant? Or would that be a bad choice that wasn't necessary?
The old party was incredible
Adventures are the central theme of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End – the anime begins and ends with them. This time, the creators have given us an unusual perspective. Instead of the action-packed journey at the beginning, we see the adventure's end and the characters' lives afterward. Even though we weren't given much time to spend with the first Frieren group, we all fell in love with them. It was very hard to say goodbye, but that's the point of the whole anime – a long-lived elf has to reflect on her old adventure through a new one.
Of course, the characters are very important in a story like this. The audience had no problem connecting emotionally with the first group members. They are all very charismatic characters who still delight us in flashbacks. Himmel is beloved for his kind personality and emotional connection to Frieren, Heiter for his unorthodox character, Eisen for his outward austerity and inner fervor. There was a special chemistry between them, all the characters complemented each other perfectly and each had their own role to play.
One more place?
But what about the new Frieren party? There are now 4 members: Frieren herself, her student Fern, Eisen's student Stark, and the recently arrived Sein. It cannot be said that the second group resembles the first. Instead of adult members, there are two teenagers, and perhaps only Sein looks like Heiter – he is a priest, but leads an inappropriate lifestyle. Does the new Frieren group look complete, or are they missing a hero?
The roles in the new party are as follows: Fern represents Frieren and acts as a mage, Stark represents his teacher Eisen and is a warrior, and the priest Sein replaces Heiter. There seems to be a lack of a hero like Himmel among them, but many have observed that Frieren fills that role. This seems to be true, as she even speaks similar words and acts as a unifier. However, some fans bring up Sein's lost friend, Gorilla, whom he is trying to find. We don't know how this story will end and if Gorilla will become a new group member. It seems like everything is fine as it is, but who knows, maybe this character will surprise us.
Where is the hero in this story?
