Frieren, Fern, and Stark have made it to Etwas, a hot springs resort, where they're expecting to chill out for a few days.It turns out that the village in the mountains is in ruins and has been abandoned. But they hear about a hot spring that is "somewhere in" the mountain range. So the three decide to go after this hot springs.Getting to the top of the mountain ain't gonna be a walk in the park. Some nasties reside on the mountain and will provide the gang with some issues to overcome based on their abilities. The preview shots we've seen show some amazing views up in the Mountains and some of the obstacles the heroes will face.The first impression from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 3 is that it will be a combination of adventure and character development, along with its regular series of thinking contemplatively. The hot spring quest may seem light, but it will have a deeper emotion connected with it.What Happened in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 2?The Sword Demon with Himmel's sword (Image Source: Studio Madhouse)Episode 2 focused on the Hero of the South's legacy. Frieren's party was at the village to clean the statue, but they thought it was going to be the statue of Himmel. It actually was going to be a statue of the other hero.The Hero of the South was thought of as the greatest warrior of his time. He has defeated three of the seven sages of destruction all by himself. His final defeat was to Schlacht the Omniscient in battle. He was a demon who could see a thousand years into the future, and both heroes died together during that fight.Flashbacks show that the Hero from the South attempted to recruit Frieren. The Hero could see the future and was aware that he would die in the next year, and told Frieren about an up-and-coming young Hero who would save the world. The sword that Graf Dach was going to recover was stolen.A demon disguised as a priest would end up destroying a village. Frieren quickly recognised that it was a demon and attacked it. Stark engaged the demon in hand-to-hand combat, while Frieren continued to blast the demon with magic. Fern used her sword to block incoming attacks and assisted in chasing down the demon. Frieren used one large spell to finish off the demon.The party gave the sword back to Graf Dach. They talked about how demons keep stealing the sword and how they affect the desires within mankind. As for Frieren, she received a reward of a spell that turns red apples green. The overall episode combined serious subject matter with silly moments regarding Frieren's obsession with collecting magic that is worthless or has no obvious use.Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 Episode 3 will be available on Crunchyroll on January 30, 2026.
