It has truly been quite a remarkable streak asFrieren: Beyond Journey’s Endhas taken and held (for a long time) the title of #1 anime of all time on MyAnimeList with an incredible score of 9.32/10, which leaves a considerable gap between it and the second-place contender. This, in a way, solidifies it as a modern anime masterpiece.
However, if you still believe it’s overrated, your perspective may be about to change after going through this article. While the series indeed has several iconic moments, one particular scene stands out the most – it is the epic battle between Frieren and Aura. But how exactly did it make the series so phenomenal as others claim?
Why is The Frieren vs Aura Battle So Epic?
TheFrieren vs Aura fightis not just another typical Shonen power battle, but what it actually shows is the series’exceptional storytelling and character development. On the surface, it might seem like a straightforward confrontation between two powerful mages, but as the fight unfolds, it turns out to be much more than that.

As the fight reaches its peak, Frieren lets it slip that she has been holding back her mana throughout her long life of existence. By doing so, it gave her enough time and energy to hold on until Aura made a wrong move. Even Aura herself got confused because she could not fathom why Frieren would willfully restrain her mana. As her reply, Frieren simply said it was necessary to survive over a millennium!
It Wasn’t Frieren’s Journey with the Heroes that Fundamentally Changed Her but a Singular Character’s Death
With her full mana unleashed, Frieren’s power surpassed even the Sage of Destruction’s, and the battle turned out to be instantaneously one-sided. Aura could not withstand this overwhelming amount of mana, and the outcome was already set in stone by then. Ironically,Aura’s own Guillotin was forced to act against her, and with Frieren’s final line, “Kill yourself”, she seals the fate of Aura while winning one of the most epic battles in anime history.
The Impact of This Battle on The Anime Community
This was not only an epic fight but also a revolutionary moment in the fandom. So much so, that it should be enough to hush the critics who were calling it overrated. The sheer weight of the sentence, “Kill yourself” could be felt from outside the screen, as it eventually earnedFrierenthe top spot on MyAnimeList.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Takes It a Bit Too Far With Its Side Characters by Making Them Unnecessarily Important
Furthermore, this line got so famous that it also gave birth to a wave of memes. Its influence was spread far beyond the anime itself and into pop culture. The sheer volume of memes and references that came after speak to the impact that this scene had on fans.
Though this might not be everyone’s favorite scene, there is no denying that Frieren has rightfully earned all the applause it has received. Fans are in for more thrills and drama as the show’s second season has been officially announced. According to the manga readers, theFrierenanime has brighter days ahead, and it’s only a matter of time before it again proves why it is the best.
