While most members of the party of heroes that defeated the Demon King are long dead, Freiren the mage remains alive and kicking, and she embarks on a new adventure. During this new adventure, Freiren comes across old enemies and old friends, and many of them seem exceptionally powerful; however, in the Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End series, how do they compare to the warriors of the past and each other in terms of strength?

8 Flamme

Humanity’s Esteemed Mage

Frieren’s mentor, Flamme, is undoubtedly one of the most powerful human mages to ever exist. As the person who managed to train Freiren into what she is today, many wonder what sort of person Flamme is. Interestingly, Flamme was a student of Serie, one of the most powerful individuals in the world.

Despite her relatively short life, Flamme left her mark on history and is still known among humans today. Although countless years have passed, one of the magic barriers that Flamme cast is still in tip-top shape and remains capable of preventing demons from entering cities to this day.

7 Himmel

The Hero

As the Hero who journeyed with Frieren, the mage, Heiter, the priest, and Eisen, the warrior, to defeat the Demon King, Himmel is no doubt a powerful warrior. While he had help, many had tried to defeat the Demon King, but only Himmel and his party succeeded, which revealed that there was something incredibly special about him.

Himmel was a serious-minded and charismatic person who cherished lives and gave people hope. Through his interactions with the other members of his party, Himmel’s kind nature is depicted as Frieren and Heiter picked up habits of helping people. With his sword, Himmel ended many demons and left his legacy in the world.

6 Frieren

The ‘Lazy’ Elven Mage

As the mage who accompanied the Hero on his ten-year journey to defeat the Demon King, Frieren plays an important role in the series and is by no means weak. Her true mana output is so immense that even some of the Seven Sages of Destruction have considerably less mana than her.

Despite having a ton of mana, Frieren learned how to restrict her mana output to deceive demons from Flamme. And after practicing the skill for countless years, limiting her mana has become a natural state for her. Apart from her talent for using magic, Frieren is also very skilled in analyzing spells and techniques. When fighting an opponent, Frieren usually analyzes their techniques and develops counterattacks for them.

5 Macht

A Sage of Destruction

While the Seven Sages of Destruction are all powerful in their own right, they are not all on the same level. In the Frieren anime series, Aura the Guillotine, one of the Seven Sages, has been revealed to be a powerful sorceress who turns people weaker than her into her faithful puppets; however, she is merely one of the weaker of the Seven Sages.

Meanwhile, Macht is one of the most powerful of the seven and even denotes himself as the strongest of them all. Despite being a mage, Macht’s physical prowess is unrivaled among many, and few can stand up to him.

4 Schlacht

The Demon King’s Right Hand Man

While the Seven Sages of Destruction are the most powerful members of the Demon King’s army, the demon known as Omniscient Schlacht was given a rank higher; he was the close confidant and right-hand man of the Demon King himself.

Schlacht has the ability to see the future. He can apparently see countless future visions and their possibilities and, therefore, develop a counterattack for them. As the right-hand man of the Demon King, Schlacht coordinated the Seven Sages of Destruction and relayed the Demon King’s orders to them. With his ability, Schlacht is said to be able to see up to a thousand years in the future, and he allegedly died in his battle against the Hero of the South as they took each other out.

3 Hero Of The South

Humanity’s Strongest

The Hero of the South is known as such because of the heroic deeds he performed before Himmel and Frieren met and started their journey to defeat the Demon King. Said to be humanity’s strongest, the true name of the Hero of the South is unknown, but he was beyond powerful.

He managed to face all Seven Sages of Destruction and the Demon King’s right hand, the Omniscient Schlacht, while killing three of the Seven Sages. While mages like Frieren can kill some members of the Seven Sages, facing them all and managing to kill three is a feat like no other.

2 Serie

The Elven Warmonger

Undoubtedly one of the strongest characters in the series, this elven mage stands above countless others in skill and knowledge. Serie was the mentor of Flamme and was known for her broad knowledge of magic. She often refers to herself as a great mage of the mythical era and lives to this day.

Like Frieren, Serie often comes across as cold and hardly expresses emotions. However, she often enjoys fighting strong people and can be called a warmonger. As seen in Frieren, Frieren constantly restrains her mana output, and her unrestrained mana output is simply monstrous. However, Serie’s restrained mana output rivals Frieren’s unrestrained one, and few know the true extent of her capabilities.

1 Demon King

Absolute Evil

As seen in the Frieren anime series, demons are creatures with no form of empathy and only do things that suit themselves. Despite their high sense of individuality and selfish methods, they all seemed to obey one person—the Demon King—and were exceptionally loyal to him. As most demon societies are based on strength, the Demon King was undoubtedly a very powerful individual.

As the leader of the demons, the Demon King waged war on humans for centuries and even ordered his subordinates to massacre the elves. After reigning for a long time, the Demon King was eventually ended by Himmel the Hero’s party. However, before them, many had tried and failed, dying in the process.
