Set in a fantasy world, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End follows a group of friends who defeated the Demon Lord and now have to continue on with their lives after the end of their journey. Since Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has become one of the biggest fantasy hits in recent years, we are going to explore this world from a new perspective.

Namely, this article is going to be focused on quotes taken from the series, including the original manga, as well as the popular anime adaptation. This list is going to include a total of the ten greatest Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End quotes you need to know from various chapters and episodes. The quotes are taken from various contexts and situations, and we have decided to group them based on their message.

1. “I will teach you the secret to defeating a powerful opponent. It’s simple. Keep getting back up and bash them with your techniques. The last “warrior” standing wins.”

We decided to start this list off with Eisen, the Dwarf, and one of his best quotes from the series. Eisen was not a man of many words, but there was a lot of wisdom and experience in his words, and this quote shows just how much he valued the spirit in a warrior.

2. “Nobody who tries desperately to live would want to end up as nothing. This, would it not be better to believe that they would live in extravagance up in Heaven?”

Heiter was an interesting character in more ways than one, especially because he was a living contradiction. But behind that alcohol and hedonism was a very wise and intelligent person, and this quote about the meaning of life shows just how special as a character he was and why he is so respected.

3. “If you accept a reward from someone, they will not need to owe you. We are the Hero Party. What we should desire is to help people, not gain their gratitude. If they were to owe you for it, you would not truly be helping them.

Himmel was the original hero, and while he did have his moments, it is absolutely true that he always valued heroic ideals and acted in line with them. This quote illustrates just how important heroism was for him and how pure his ideals were, as he really did cherish and respect them completely.

4. “So you’re giving up before you’ve even gone to pursue him. It’s only been a mere ten years. If you don’t go now, you’ll regret it in the near future. When that time comes, you may think, ‘I could’ve made it in time, and yet I…’. You must be wondering, ‘Why now, after all this time?’, correct? That’s because I’m talking about the story that unfolds for you now.”

Frieren’s motivation for Sein to join them remains one of the most important moments in the history of the series. Not only was this a very atypical Frieren at work, but it was also a peek into her own history, her own doubts, and her relationship with Himmel. She managed to persuade Sein, and that speaks enough for itself, doesn’t it?

5. “You wish to reconcile, right? ‘Thoughts’ have to be put into words for them to get across.”

While we’re talking about Sein, we also had to include him, as he is a very interesting character, and we were all sad to see him leave the group, although they will probably meet up at a later point in the story. Sein was a wise and intelligent person as well, and this piece of advice he gave to Stark in relation to Fern is pure gold.

6. “I probably just want someone to remember who I am. Even if only a little. The purpose of life is to be known and remembered. Only a little. You just need to change someone’s life. That’s all, I’m sure.”

Himmel’s heroic ideals are what made him so special, but his quests were not devoid of himself, at least not completely. Sure, if he had to decide between heroism and fame, he would always pick heroism, but if he could have both – why not? Himmel wanted to be remembered as someone who helped the world, and luckily for him – that is exactly how he is remembered.

7. “Your attempts to get to know more about me give me overwhelming bliss.”

Fern’s relationships with other characters are quite interesting, especially when we’re talking about her relationship with Stark. She is a gentle girl with a tragic past, but she has a very strong personality, and she knows who she is. This quote illustrates the former, which is why we have stressed out the latter.

8. “What you should be doing before you die is giving a proper farewell to that girl, and trying to make as many memories with her as possible.”

Frieren was the only one who knew how to keep Heiter in check, as this quote illustrates. Heiter wanted to spare Fern the pain of seeing him die, but Frieren provided the priest with a reality check that helped both Heiter and Fern create some memorable moments before Heiter’s death of old age.

9. “In that case, I shall make you visualize that nothing is impossible in this world.”

Himmel was not only a hero, he was also a true leader and someone who could motivate others with a lot of success. This is how he managed to get Frieren to join his party, and he truly believed in these words, which are truly beautiful.

10. “Despite knowing, with all my heart, how short human lifespan is… why didn’t I try to get to know him better?”

Frieren was accused of being heartless during Himmel’s service in the cathedral because she did not cry, but when Himmel was being buried, she cried her heart out because of everything that she regretted. With this famous line from the series, we have decided to end this list, as this is truly a memorable quote from Frieren.
