The COMPLETE Sousou no Frieren 'Goddess's Monument Arc' Explained 

I am kinda puzzled why himmel didn't go with frieren after there 10 year advanture. I understand why the writer of frieren made the story like this. But from a in lore perspective, i am always puzzled why himmel would let frieren go, especialy because frieren expierence time a lot different, what i mean with that is that, himmel spending 50 years with frieren isn't a big deal to frieren at all. (because of her long lifespan) Did himmel not join frieren out of respect and a form of self sacrifice, or i did he realise his mistake to late and couldn't find frieren anymore.

I was so anxious to know if the illusion was shared or individualized. Once I realized it was shared I legit squee'd lmao.

@MijnAfspeellijst1234 he's likely have to be sort of a diplomat after the fall of the Demon King between the different human kingdoms.

@@MijnAfspeellijst1234 He seems to have had his own responsibilities, or at least things he considered to be his responsibilities. A very important one that was introduced in this arc was researching the spell incantation that would activate the monument and traveling up north again to inscribe it on the monument for Frieren in the future so she’d have a way back. He wouldn’t have been able to accomplish something like that if he kept traveling with her. He also evidently checked in periodically with certain towns and villages they came across, like the one they saved Qual from. That’s not something that Frieren wanted to do at the time they began parting ways with each other, since she wanted to focus on finding new magic. I suspect he definitely would have offered to accompany her if he could have. One of the other commenters here also mentioned he may have had some diplomatic work in the intervening years, seeing as how he was the hero who led the party that slayed the Demon King, which is certainly a possibility. In my mind, the research into uncovering the monument incantation was reason enough to let Frieren go off on her own, since due to the events of this arc, he wanted her to be able to get back to her own time as soon as possible and didn’t know for sure when that would happen for her if he didn’t focus on it following the completion of their quest. From what we see in this arc, he didn’t manage to accomplish that task until he was old enough to appear as he did when Frieren finally returned to him nearly 50 years after their last parting, so that task obviously took a long time to complete. He wouldn’t have been able to help her in that way if he decided to travel with her.

@@micahmartin7759 what is this monument you talk about. I can't remember that, was this in the manga?

Yes, the last anime episode also reveled that the DEMON KING was powerful enough that even friren was pushed to the edge in the fight. And the her mana suppression did not fool him. And that she only won cause she had a good team.

@@braddl9442 i mean that is kinda obv if u read the manga. Minor spoiler Frieren is about on par with the upper great demons like macht and solitar and those same demons that are on frierens level work under the demon king (macht doesn’t really but he can be forced to do something from time to time) demons only do that if they are significantly stronger then themself aka the demon king. I speculate the demonking is someone on the level of serie and that he was defeated by the heros party through teamwork or he himself kinda self sacrefised

Yeah exactly

​@@alexsjarifnot wanna be that guy but machh if serious from the start is probably demon king levels or lil below cause frieren beat solitaire without any prep while she need many moths and inventigaiton and other mages help to beat machh

@@KungiTopW hmm i doubt it tbh i can be wrong tho but we genuinly haven't seen anything from the demon king and serie we can only assume as of now but its heavely implied that they are a cut above the rest. I still think that excluding serie herself macht is the strongest person we've seen

How long do you think authors should have to write their stories? The author of Frieren has to publish a chapter every week and weekly authors tend to be the most stressed and overworked compared to authors who publish chapters monthly. I personally, feel like authors should be able to make their own schedule and publish their work whenever as long as it is in within a reasonable timeframe 💯.

the author put his effort with love then he can writes such a beautiful story

tot the saint of end also seems to has a big plan, maybe instructed by DK.

If Frieren came from the future. How did they end up defeating the demon king or there are two frierens in this timeline

​@@nanadrawslot it's more like her future mind temporarily inhabited her past's body. When she returned her past self would have no memory

​​@@nanadrawslot There is only one Frieren in this timeline. If you reread the first chapter of this arc, there is a reason why Demon king - era Frieren "lose" her consciousness for the entire week. It was later revealed that during this period, future Frieren "hijacks" past Frieren's consciousness.

Glad you enjoy it! 🙇‍♂️

Himmel truly worked out at the library

Wait is that the harp music that starts in 01:14?

@MarcoPolo3 No, that's a diff track I'm not familiar with. I'm referring to the one that starts around 10 min

And chrono trigger - wind scene

Especially about the demon mage that uses swords that should have died in Eldorado

Since the spell name was already engraved on the monument, it is safe to assume this time loop was always part of the timeline already Time travel can be a tricky thing to write, but the most cohesive way is this fateful timeline way, where no splits happen and loops to the past are already accounted for in the present. So I think nothing changed with El Dorado. That being said, Frieren's way to rationalise it when she realizes she's in the past could also indicate there could be more aggressive changes in the future depending on the case. I wouldn't be surprised if solitar prevented her own death after meeting with frieren back then. Buuuut I sincerely hope not, as I've seen writers corner themselves creatively when they decide to take that approach time and time again. Honestly that worry is already present with the demon that has future vision too.

​​@@Liu484 Honestly I Hope that She has prevented her own death, Solitar died way too soon.

Maybe. Try it out and see the results 😘

You are 😁🍻

Im second i guess😅😂
