Episode Title: The Journey's End Episode Description: After defeating the Demon Lord, hero Himmel, priest Heiter, dwarf warrior Eisen, and elf mage Frieren return to the royal capital. Himmel, Heiter, and Eisen are ready to settle down after their ten year adventure, but Frieren, whose lifespan lasts thousands of years, considers ten years barely noticeable and plans to travel and learn new spells. They watch the Era meteor shower together with Frieren promising to show them a better place to watch it during the next shower in fifty years. Fifty years later Frieren returns and finds Himmel and Heiter are elderly, while Eisen is middle aged. After retrieving a dragon horn from Himmel they go on one last adventure to watch the meteors again. Himmel dies of old age shortly after the trip. At Himmel's funeral, Frieren tearfully realizes she never really got to know him and decides to learn as much about humans as possible. Twenty years later she returns and finds the now extremely elderly Heiter has adopted a war orphan, nine year old Fern. Fern has potential as a mage and Heiter, who has come to fear death in his old age, asks Frieren to research life extending magic and tutor Fern in her spare time. Frieren agrees after finding Fern is already remarkably skilled despite her youth.
