History Manga / FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd

* AncestorVeneration: Most dwarfs worship their own ancestors instead of the goddess, usually by praying to their humble graves.

** During the second First-Class Mage exam, Frieren ([[spoiler:or more exactly her clone]]) exhibits a rudimentary form of [[spoiler:Mana Blast, Solitär's signature spell, against Fern. The real Frieren later easily copies it. Her clone using this technique shows early on that this is already possible, which Fern can't even categorize as "magic"]].

** A {{flashback}} in Chapter 57 reveals that Himmel met Frieren already when he was still a small kid. He got lost in the forest and Frieren gave him directions. But what he remembers most about this day was Frieren trying to make Himmel calm down by casting a bed of flowers with her magic. Frieren naturally didn't remember this encounter, but to this day she treasures Flamme and her favorite spell because it allowed her to meet Himmel and her other friends.

** Magic of the Goddess: This magic is the most specialized of all in its users and requirements. Unless one is born with the innate ability to become a priest class, they will never be able to use more than weak forms of this magic. For those who do have the ability, though, they are granted strong resistance to curses, as well as the capacity to identify and figure out how to undo them. Using this magic also requires the user have in their possession a "holy scripture," writings likely originating from the Age of Mythology when the Goddess of Creation is said to have walked among humans. Goddess magic ''has'' some attack spells, but is most known for its healing abilities, being able to rapidly identify and undo the effects of deadly poisons and serious wounds alike.

* BeehiveBarrier: Basic modern defensive magic takes the form of hexagons tiled in a spherical shape. It can block most magic and monster attacks, but due to the high mana cost of maintaining a full barrier, most mages will cast only partial barriers to block attacks as needed.

* AnchoredShip: Himmel most certainly loved Frieren, and the story hints increasingly often it might have been (or has became) mutual, but the relationship couldn't go anywhere because of how Frieren perceives time. As an elf, she has no sense of urgency the way a human would understand it, and an elf's romantic urges are similarly slow to manifest. It is made repeatedly clear that during Himmel's lifetime even the ''idea'' of a romantic relationship with him never crossed Frieren's mind. Himmel seemingly understood this, and apart from some occasional light flirting, never seemed to really try for more, content to love Frieren in his heart for the rest of his life. Given how long elves live, their version of courtship could possibly take centuries before going anywhere, and that is simply time Himmel did not have. Notably, it is only decades after Himmel's death Frieren begins to show signs of recognizing his feelings for her and reciprocating them, as she looks back fondly on her memories of him.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Humans see demons and think of them as being another race like elves or dwarves because they're humanoid and can speak. However, the fundamental difference between the races is that unlike humans, demons are actually just the most intelligent type of magical beasts and are thus natural predators of humanity. You can talk to them, but anything to do with human values, relationships or emotions is beyond their comprehension. Even when they try to play by human rules, they will always make mistakes (read: Murder someone) and out themselves because they do not understand the rules or even the basic principles that gave rise to the rules in the first place. For example, a little demon girl was surrounded by a bunch of villagers and managed to save her own life by looking like a pitiful child, but then she killed the kind man who vowed to take her in because she truly thought it was a necessary step to make the village fully accept her.

* AnchoredShip: Himmel most certainly loved Frieren and the story hints increasingly often that it may have been (or became) mutual, but the relationship couldn't go anywhere because of how Frieren perceives time.

Notably it is only decades after Himmel's death that Frieren begins to show signs of recognizing his feelings for her and reciprocating them, as she looks back on her memories of him.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Demons don't really grasp human social rules and morals and can only fake them for awhile before they slip up and show their true natures. This is in large part because demons are not at all a social species and have no understanding of something as basic as a family unit because they do not care for their children, nor do they form groups in order to increase their chances of survival. The closest they have to real social behavior is that a particularly strong demon can beat other demons into submission to make them follow them and that said shows of force are often based in magic power comparisons. This is why demons are always caught by surprise by mages who hide their true mana capacity: Doing such a thing would go against the very principles of what little demon society there is.

** One chapter's title is "Draw", which has two notable definitions: an outcome with no clear winner, and the opening action of a SingleStrokeBattle. It turns out that [[spoiler:Denken deals a mortal wound to Macht while Fern kills Solitär with a ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind, securing the heroes' victory over the two extremely powerful demons, which makes the first definition a sort of RedHerring (though Denken calls his fight a draw because he was wounded to the point of collapsing, and the dying but still-stand Macht could have easily killed him at this time if he wanted to). "Draw" can also be used to refer the motion of drawing a weapon. In Japanese martial arts, there is a move in which the sword is drawn and used in a blindingly fast strike simultaneously. This "Battoujutsu" is famous for purportedly ending sword duels in a [[SingleStrokeBattle single stroke.]] So this chapter's title might refer this, instead.]]
* DragonTheirFeet: Frieren and Fern defeat Qual and Aura, a powerful demon mage and one of the Demon King's seven generals, respectively, around 80 years after the Demon King has been defeated by the Hero's party. Qual had to be defeated later because at the time the Hero's party fought him, he was too strong for them, so they sealed him. While Aura was also defeated by the Hero's party, she fled and hid herself with her forces, and only returned after Himmel's death. Later on when they reach the Northern Plateau, they also get rid of [[spoiler:Macht, the last and strongest Sage of Destruction]].

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Magic in this world has an element of this, but in practice it's usually more of a limitation than a benefit. In short, a mage can't do anything they can't properly visualize. To start with, something very complex, like controlling each individual hair on your head (that's about a 100,000) is something only a very high-level mage could pull off. Also, no matter how much you may want to do something, if you can't completely convince yourself it's possible, then it won't work. For instance, in the face of a high-level defensive spell, any lesser mage be unable to pierce it because they logically understand how powerful it is, like trying to convince yourself pigs can fly. [[spoiler:Übel, is uniquely gifted at this aspect of magic. Her specialty is a spell which cuts things. It can be easily blocked by normal magic barriers, as she can't imagine cutting something designed to stop magic. However, she was able to effortlessly kill a first-class mage specializing in defense magic, simply because his defenses took the form of a cloak and she can easily imagine cutting cloth due to her upbringing.]] For all her power, Flamme claims Serie could not kill the Demon King because she can't imagine living in the age of peace that would result from this.

** Warriors can train to a point where they are outright superhuman, becoming strong enough to split entire cliffsides into canyons and fast enough run across water, but high-end Mages can unleash a far wider scope of destruction and can learn a much bigger and varied skillset than a straightforward Warrior ever could. A Warrior can only really get physically stronger and better at fighting things, whereas a Mage might learn how to reshape the landscape, create autonomous spellcasting golems, develop clairvoyance or ''conjure blackholes''.
** On the other hand, Mages are vulnerable in ways that Warriors are not due to a near complete reliance on mana. On one notable occasion when Frieren and Himmel are caught in the illusion spell of a Demon, Frieren for all her power is left completely helpless even after realizing the trick because her mana detection has been blocked off and she can't feel the outside world past the illusion, whereas Himmel's SuperSenses can penetrate the illusion and allow him to fight on despite being blind to the outside world. There are also creatures that are resistant to magical attacks, like dragons.
** In a fight between a Warrior and a Mage the determining factor tends to be distance, if the Warrior can put themselves within about a ten feet then the disparity in sheer speed, strength and toughness means that they can quickly cut down the Mage before they can react with a spell. Shadow Warriors are Warriors who have specifically trained to take down Mages and accomplish this by learning how to control and hide their mana, allowing them to sneak past a Mage's mana detection into a range where they can blitz the Mage before they can react and defend themselves.
** The existence of the Demon Linie's ability copy the techniques of Warriors by analyzing the flow of mana in their bodies and copying their movements, alongside things like the ability for Shadow Warriors to hide from mana detection by controlling their mana, or the beam of light created by Stark's ''Lightning Strike'', may also imply that Warriors don't actually lack magic but rather focus that magic inward to give them their superhuman abilities. Which would technically make them wizards too, if of a different kind than Mages.
* LivingForeverIsAwesome: PlayedWith in surprising ways considering how a major theme of the series is regret that elves experience due to their long lives. The opening theme, "YUUSHA" expresses the sentiment that, while immortality can make parting with loved ones painful, and the relentless passage of time can erase the traces of precious moments, it's not all bad. The immortal can ensure that the world doesn't forget the dearly departed or their legacy, carrying the memories in their heart, while going on to make new friends and go on new adventures. In the series itself, it would seem that long-lived races [[TimeDissonance don't feel the crush of time as heavily as others]]; Frieren makes plans for 50 years hence as easily as next week. In general, elves in this series avoid many of the downsides of semi-immortal lives, and thus are seldom preoccupied with angst over them. Their minds do not decline with age, so they do not ever forget important things or people, and they are accustomed enough to watching shorter lived beings pass away that it doesn't deter them from forming friendships with them. Instead the focus of the sadness is on how shorter lived races tend to forget important people and events within a few generations. Further, elves marry and reproduce so rarely that losing a spouse is rarely ever a issue (indeed it is implied the length of time it takes an elf to even fall in love precludes them from marrying short-lived races to begin with), and the main source of angst an elf may have over losing friends isn't how short their lives were but rather the risk the elf has of their different perspective on time causing them to not make the most of the time they do have with someone. Lastly, every elf is confident that, however long they may live, they will ''eventually'' die, so there is no angst over being an immortal in a world of mortals. In their view, they are as mortal as anyone else, just with a much longer timespan before that mortality is realized.

** Human magic: While not originating with humans (elves use the same kind of magic), it bears this name because they are the most common users of it. This magic is the most diverse and flexible and the majority of spells that exist consist of this type. With some exceptions (such as flight magic) this magic is of a kind that can be understood in a detailed manner and the spells are consistently being added to as new spells are made or demon spells are copied and adjusted. "Folk magic' is sub category of this, being old and rare spells that are often only used and passed down within specific communities or have been lost to time outside of a few grimoires that record them.
** Demon magic: This is in many ways the same as human magic but originates from and is only used by demons. It is sometimes of a variety or level that humans are unlikely to be able to replicate. Sometimes these spells are researched to the point that the human magic system can incorporate them, at which point they cease to be classed as demon magic (notable examples of this being flight magic and Zoltraak). Many demon magics are not learned by demons but rather are powers they are born with, with their training consisting of mastering the power rather than learning it in the first place.
** Curses: These are magics used by demons and monsters which are typically not comprehensible at all to the human magic system. As such, they cannot be used by human magic, nor defended against by it (barring certain exceptions that could be said to prove the rule). Typically these magics involve some kind of permanent effect being applied on the target's body, such as placing them in a sleep that ends in death, or turning them to stone.
** Magic of the Goddess: This magic is the most specialized of all in its users and requirements. Unless one is born with the innate ability to become a priest class, they will never be able to use more than weak forms of this magic. For those who do have the ability though, they are granted strong resistance to curses, as well as the capacity to identify and figure out how to undo them. Using this magic also requires that the user have in their possession a "holy scripture," writings likely originating from the Age of Mythology when the Goddess of Creation is said to have walked among humans. Goddess magic has some attack spells, but is most known for its healing abilities, being able to rapidly identify and undo the effects of deadly poisons and serious wounds alike.

** For example, one little demon girl killed and ate a human child and when faced by the village just looked sad and said the word 'mother,' eliciting enough pity to save her life as the village's kindly mayor believed she simply didn't know better and if given other choices could be a better person. And the demon seems to have genuinely tried to integrate with the village for survival if nothing else. However, she eventually killed the man who adopted her and stole his daughter to give to the family whose original daughter she had killed and eaten before. There was no awareness in her mind that this would upset anyone and her dying words were an acknowledgement that she simply saw "mother" as a "magical" word that stopped humans from killing her.
** Even more experienced demons can fall into this. Lügner staves off a conflict when a city lord threatens to kill him in revenge for the death of his son by saying his own father was killed by humans, but Lügner doesn't even understand what a father is. His assistant Draht also attempts to kill Frieren in prison, killing a guard before doing so, apparently oblivious to the fact that if he had succeeded he would have been exposed instantly and the city lord would have attacked them. This wouldn't have been a huge problem for them, but the lack of awareness is telling.

** In a fight between a Warrior and a Mage the determining factor tends to be distance, if the Warrior can put themselves within about a dozen meters then the disparity in sheer speed, strength and toughness means that they can quickly cut down the Mage. Shadow Warriors are Warriors who have specifically trained to take down Mages and accomplish this by learning how to control and hide their mana, allowing them to sneak past a Mage's mana detection into a range where they can blitz the Mage before they can react and defend themselves.

* TimeAbyss: While elves do seem to age, they do so extremely slowly. Frieren is not really an example: At minimum, she's a thousand years old and could easily be twice that or more, but that's it. She outright refers to the Hero Party's ten year long adventure as less than one one-hundredth of her lifespan, and barely appears to have aged over the course of a millennium. Yet even she doesn't remember the feats of the true time abysses like Kraft, a great hero from so staggeringly long ago that the conflict he was part of no longer remains in history or even myth and the few remaining traces of that age are a complete mystery to everyone who knows them. In all, it can be speculated that the lifespan of elves in this world stretches well into the tens of thousands of years.

* LivingForeverIsAwesome: PlayedWith in surprising ways considering how a major theme of the series is regret that elves experience due to their long lives.

* Blessing: Priests use Goddess Magic through holy scriptures, and those with natural talent are said to have 'the Blessings of the Goddess,' which also makes them resistant to curses.

* SoLastSeason: InUniverse. During the time of the Hero's Party, Qual's Zoltraak spell made him so dangerous they could only seal him away. However, by the time the seal broke, Zoltraak had been reverse-engineered and was now considered ''basic'' offensive magic. During the First Class Mage Exam, it's revealed the tactics for magical combat have radically shifted since then, with mages now considering it more efficient to manipulate physical matter to smash through magic shields instead of relying on magical energy attacks. That being said, Frieren and Fern consider modern-day mages to have become weaker, as Fern, with Frieren's training, is still able to use basic offensive magic to overwhelm her opponents effortlessly.

** For example, one little demon girl killed and ate a human child and when faced by the village just looked sad and said the word 'mother,' eliciting enough pity to save her life as the village's kindly mayor believed she simply didn't know better and if given other choices could be a better person. And the demon seems to have genuinely tried to integrate with the village for survival if nothing else. However, she eventually killed the man who adopted her and stole his daughter to give to the family whose original daughter she had killed and eaten before. There was no awareness in her mind that this would upset anyone and her dying words were an acknowledgement that she was simply mimicking the last words of children she had killed before.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: Elves in this series are the typical long-eared beautiful creatures from most fantasy settings, but they're very out of place in human society because they just don't think on the same time scale. Frieren is willing to spend years or even decades over pursuits humans would consider trivial and, here's the twist, she ''also'' considers trivial. Because that's how little importance she puts on a mere few years and any relationships formed in that time are often given little importance in their minds. They're also naturally excellent in magic, but it's rare for them to truly love it enough to train themselves.

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Himmel stopped Frieren from killing a little demon girl after hearing her cry out to her mother, clearly believing that she's just a slightly different looking child who didn't know any better and deserves a chance. Yet the little girl not only murders the man who saved her life, the reason she did it was ironclad proof that demons simply cannot truly live in human society, making her the [[EvilCannotComprehendGood opposite]] of this trope. And her mother? Doesn't exist, she just copied the words she heard scared human children say before she ate them. Upset for having some responsibility for the man's death, he doesn't stop Frieren from killing her a second time. He didn't truly understand until then that that's just what a demon ''is'': A predator who only looks like a person.

** Fass, an alcohol connoisseur, spent two hundred years looking for Boshaft, desperately wanting to know how the ancient alcoholic drink renowned throughout the world tasted. Frieren, however, knows that Boshaft was just mass produced swill that was given out during a coronation event. Instead of despairing after finding out the drink he wasted two hundred years searching for tasted like sewer water, Fass decides to take the many bottles of Boshaft and share them amongst the townspeople to have a good laugh.

** Human magic: While not originating with humans (elves use the same kind of magic), it bears this name because they are the most common users of it. This magic the most diverse and flexible and the majority of spells that exist consist of this type. With some exceptions (such as flight magic) this magic is of a kind that can be understood in a detailed manner and the spells are consistently being added to as new spells are made or demon spells are copied and adjusted. "Folk magic' is sub category of this, being old and rare spells that are often only used and passed down within specific communities or have been lost to time outside of a few grimoires that record them.

** Frieren notes in Chapter 5 how quickly humanity can advance despite, or maybe because, their lifespan is so short. Their huge numbers mean their society can make magical advancements quicker than demons and elves can, despite them being LongLived.
** When humanity first made study of magic legal, Serie predicted that humanity would quickly surpass the elves for similar reasons.

** Lernen tells Serie that he was able to detect the fluctuations in Frieren's mana indicating she is [[spoiler:suppressing her mana]] and based on that can sense the two elves have nearly equal mana capacities. Serie is disappointed that [[spoiler:Lernen still hasn't noticed that Serie is also suppressing her mana and easily outpowers Frieren]].

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Magic in this world has an element of this, but in practice it's usually more of a limitation than a benefit. In short, a mage can't do anything they can't properly visualize. To start with, something very complex, like controlling each individual hair on your head (that's about a 100,000) is something only a very high-level mage could pull off.

* ImmortalProcreationClause: Elves are the longest living beings in the setting, period, with Kraft in particular being so ancient that nobody remembers him or his legendary adventures. As a result of their long lives they have very little in the way of sexual interests or reproductive urges. This, along with centuries of genocide by the demons, is why they are slowly going extinct in the present day.

* AnchoredShip: Himmel most certainly loved Frieren and the story hints increasingly often that it may have been mutual, but the relationship couldn't go anywhere because of how Frieren perceives time. As an elf she has no sense of urgency the way a human would understand it and found it difficult to understand why she would want to bond with someone she would obviously outlive. Himmel seemingly understood this and apart from some occasional light flirting never seemed to really try for more. Given how long elves live, their version of courtship could possibly take centuries before going anywhere and that is simply time Himmel did not have.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Most monsters and demons are far tougher than humans or other humanoids, so this is usually the best strategy against everything. For example, in Chapter 31, Frieren only needs one direct hit on the confusion flower's core to destroy it.

** The confusion flower subspecies Sein fights in Chapter 31 has leaves that shine like mirrors. Magic attacks are reflected back in all directions.
** In Chapter 93, [[spoiler:Macht's memories reveal that he unsuccessfully tried to turn Serie into gold, because she protected herself with Mistilziela, a spell that reflects anything that is perceived as a "curse". However, Macht is able to undo the effects of his magic that is cast on himself. Denken's "privilege" for becoming a first-class mage would later be Serie's Mistilziela to give him the means to defend against Macht's magic]].

* BagOfHolding: The suitcase Frieren brings everywhere holds a lot more than it looks like. At one point Fern is shown loading a crate bigger than the suitcase itself into it, and Stark notes in Chapter 68 that it can hold quite a bit, which Frieren comments makes it very convenient. It's also implied that this is where Frieren keeps all her grimoires and all the supplies they need.
* BattleAura: For those who can detect it, mana is displayed as a coruscating glow around the body of a magic user. The bigger it is, the bigger the person's magical potential is, although many magic users can suppress it for stealth purposes.
* BeehiveBarrier: Basic defensive magic takes the form of hexagons tiled in a spherical shape. Due to the high mana cost of maintaining a full barrier, most mages will cast only partial barriers to block attacks as needed.

** Fern only ever uses basic offensive and defensive magic, mostly because those spells are ''incredibly'' potent for how simple they are.

** This is what Frieren does in Chapter 10. Unlike Fern, Frieren knows the solar dragon has strong magic resistances, but she nonetheless lets Fern attack it.

** In Chapter 15, after the demon Draht learns of his superior, Lügner, that Frieren is the only real threat in Graf Granat's town, he decides to quickly take action and remove her. The fact that his boss views Frieren as a serious threat doesn't alarm him that he should not underestimate her and goes to Frieren's cell without a proper plan. While trying to behead her, he turns his back to her, which quickly costs him {{an arm|and a leg}} and shortly after his life.

* MagicStaff: Quite commonplace, and there's no great distinction shown in the manga regarding their qualities. Mages tend to stay with one staff throughout their entire lives, even the long-lived Frieren, so the standards of quality aren't likely an issue.

* ThatCloudLooksLike: Fern muses that Stark might not be so bad...then she overhears him saying a cloud with two lumps looks like boobs. She is decidedly unimpressed and figures he's a perv after all.

* LivingForeverIsAwesome: The opening theme, "YUUSHA" expresses the sentiment that, while immortality can make parting with loved ones painful, and the relentless passage of time can erase the traces of precious moments, it's not all bad. The immortal can ensure that the world doesn't forget the dearly departed or their legacy, carrying the memories in their heart, while going on to make new friends and go on new adventures. In the series itself, it would seem that long-lived races [[TimeDissonance don't feel the crush of time as heavily as others]]; Frieren makes plans for 50 years hence as easily as next week.
* LongLived: Elves, dwarves, and demons age slowly. Over eighty years pass after a few {{Time Skip}}s and Frieren hasn't physically changed at all. The flashbacks a thousand years into the past have her look a few years younger, implying that despite being thousands of years old she's actually not even fully grown yet. Dwarfs live for around 300 years, while demons appear to reach an age of a couple of millennia. Elves utterly blow them all out of the water however, with the oldest elves being implied to be ''older than humanity and demons.''

'''Ehre:''' Ordinary offensive and defensive magic. You only use basic spells, huh? Or you just don't want to tip your hand?

* DawnOfAnEra: This is how the story ''begins''. With the Demon King dead, the other races are living in peace, and an Era Meteor Shower happens right after. In a peaceful era, most of the tasks that are given to Frieren and Fern are of mundane nature like helping harvesting vegetables or de-rust statues.

* DyingRace: Frieren considers elves to very likely be this, due to them lacking reproductive urges and them often being targeted by demons. Though she barely minds it, nor do any of the other elves encountered care enough to try and do anything about it. With how long elves live, it could be tens of thousands of years before the last of them die out anyway, which seems to be part of why none of them can be bothered to care. The process has been going on for a long time as well: The number of elves left alive now is such that centuries can pass without one meeting another, but even a thousand years ago there were only small villages. Going back from there, if you read between the lines, at some point in the past it's implied they had a great civilization. However, no one remembers it apart from perhaps a few individuals like Kraft.
