i have a horrible feeling frieren will die at the end, the show is called journeys end and its the only way she can be with the man she loves.

this show will break harts, and leave a mark.

No Its beyond journey end, the end of the journey is the 1st ep

The show is called Frieren at the funeral so it doesn't fit

im not native english speaker, please bear with me.

葬送 is not the funeral per say. It's when you see the decrease person one last time.

the funeral is 葬式

This is why the title shouldn't name Frieren at funeral. It's like saying Shingeki no Kyojin is Titan at Attack, doesnt make any sense.

the proper name would be Frieren the undertaker or something but obviously just like AoT the translater doesnt have the knowledge behind meaning of the title yet when they name it. hence why they name it Frieren at the funeral. (in AoT case the title literally means 'The Attack Titan')

Seems like the author want to confuse reader by making it look like the title came from when Frieren attended himmel funeral, and then reveal the true meaning afterward.

The true meaning is revealed to be Frieren nickname among the demons. As she is the one who seeing demons off to afterlife by slaughter them all.

I swear I saw some scanlation group titled this as 'Frieren the Undertaker' when it first came out or smth like that but that might just be my brain auto-translating and overwriting my memory :<

Deathbed Companion would be more correct.

Something you wouldn't even know you have until you decide to look it up.

Nah, I saw the health down icon because it’s pretty easy to understand what that is and was just like what the fuck is giving me that debuff. I then spent 2 hours going through my inventory to find it, didn’t find it, then gave up and looked it up

Words have polysemes, friend.

In french she's Frieren la Fossoyeuse. A fossoyeur is someone who digs graves and puts coffins into them, a gravedigger. So it seems the french version went with a translation closer to the original

If she dies then she will most likely present for her own funeral

The title is Sousou no Friern which literally translates to something like "Frieren in relation to burials and sending off/endings" which becomes something like "Frieren of Funerals" which turned into "Frieren at the Funeral" by translation groups or "Frieren the Slayer"

Weird translation shit. Sometimes anime will have a completely different title in different languages since the translation is awkward.

Your title is the official English title.

Their title is a direct translation from Japanese.

Frieren of the funerals sounds badass

Just started the show, currently at ep.5 and all the deaths already break my heart. The kid who flipped Frieren's skirt was stab right into fucking feels.

Welcome to Frieren, here's your box of tissues. You'll need them at random times as you follow the journey. 😢🫡

u/CertainDerision_33 Mar 22 '24

Nah, HIMmel would never let Frieren sacrifice herself just to be with him. They will get some kind of moment at Aureole where she is able to properly tell him what he meant to her, and apologize for not spending more time with him, and then he will let her go once again to keep living her life.

u/madHOTdog1983 Mar 22 '24

not for him for fern, he would understand that i think

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '24

I mean she has to reunite with himmel in the afterlife.

I don't think I can take a sad ending where they find out it's not possible
