The official Frieren: Beyond Journey's End account has posted a new photo titled "Juu Juu no Frieren," which translates to "Sizzling Frieren." The image shows a Frieren plush sitting at a yakiniku table while slices of beef cook on the grill above her, and it was the third of 3 posts the account shared in the span of a few hours. Check out the official post down below:
What The Photo Shows
The plush, with Frieren's white twin tails, closed-line eyes and white robe, is propped up on the edge of a table next to a round charcoal grill. The metal grate behind her holds 4 slices of marbled beef. "Juu juu" is the Japanese sound effect for food sizzling on a grill, so the caption simply describes the scene.
The post passed 9,500 likes and 136,000 views within hours. Food is a running joke in the series, with Frieren's love of sweets and her party's big meals showing up throughout both seasons of the anime, and the account leans on it often. Last week, it shared a plush photo titled "Gochisou no Frieren," or "Feast Frieren," which passed 16,000 likes.
The Account's Daily Posts
The official account has settled into a routine of 3 image posts per day, at 8 PM, 11 PM and 2 AM MST. The first post of the latest set was a captionless piece of manga artwork showing Stark, Frieren and Fern walking through a town, with Frieren holding an armful of bread. The second, also without a caption, was a still of Himmel from the anime, smiling with his eyes closed and his hand on his chin.
The plush has its own recurring series of titled posts. "Ryuuou no Frieren," or "Dragonlord Frieren," showed the plush inside a red treasure chest mimic, next to a small purple dragon figure and a snack bag featuring Dragon Quest's Slime. Other recent titles include "Ryougoku no Frieren," "Shinchou no Frieren" and "Hyokkorii-ren," a pun on Frieren's name and the Japanese word for popping up unexpectedly.
The Road To Season 3
The third season will adapt the Golden Land arc and is set to premiere in October 2027. Its teaser visual features Macht of the Golden Land, the arc's central demon.
In September, with the anime marking 3 years since the first episode aired in September 2023, the production started a "Season 3 Countdown Illustration" project. Animators and staff from the anime will share original illustrations at several points before the premiere. The first, marking "1 year until broadcast," was drawn by character designer Keisuke Kojima and shows Frieren holding a grimoire titled "the magic to air Season 3 in 1 year." Madhouse also released a 3rd anniversary visual in which Frieren holds the giant hamburger steak from Stark's birthday in Season 1 Episode 12, with the old hero party reflected in a window.
Season 2 ended in March with a surprise special ending theme, "Trace" by milet.
More Frieren Events Coming
The franchise has several collaborations lined up. A second collaboration with the arcade card game Monster Retsuden Oreca Battle 2 will bring back Frieren and add Fern and Stark, and a collaboration with the mahjong game Mahjong Soul has also been confirmed, with details for both still to come.
In Japan, Animate stores and the Animate online shop will hold a "Taiji" (Confrontation) fair from December 19 to January 11, with a new visual of Frieren, Fern and Stark and a random visual card given out with qualifying purchases.
Frieren also recently lost the Best TV Anime title at a major Japanese awards show, as covered in Daemons Of The Shadow Realm Beats Frieren For Best TV Anime At The Newtype Anime Awards.
