by “Funeral Free Ren” is an animated version of the comic of the same name serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” (Shogakukan) (every Friday night from 11:00 to 11:30, distributed on Nippon TV / ABEMA, Disney Plus, Hulu, etc.) ) Episode 9 “Aura of the Guillotine” was broadcast on November 3rd. This time, the mastermind behind the commotion, Aura of the Guillotine (CV. Ayana Taketatsu), finally appears.
Demon and the guillotine Aura and Freelen finally clash, Aura the Great Demon and the guillotine, one of the Seven Sages. She begins her march into the territory of Count Granado (CV: Shunsuke Sakino) with her headless army. Freelen appears before Aura and tells her, “I would be grateful if you could turn back.” Aura flatly refused this. Under Aura’s orders, the Headless Corps attacked Freelen. Meanwhile, Fern (CV. Kana Ichinose) and his friends carry Count Granado to a safe church.
There, Count Granado begins talking about the “scale of obedience” used by Aura. The “Balance of Obedience” is a tool that weighs the magnitude of the magical power of its counterpart and uses the one with lower magical power as a puppet. Aura, who possesses immense magical power, used this to recruit many warriors to the Headless Corps. After leaving Count Granado in the church, Stark (CV. Chiaki Kobayashi) and Fern take action to help the city’s people.
However, what awaited them when they left the church was an assault by Lugner (CV. Junichi Suwabe) and Linier (CV. Mainaka Iwami). Stark is forced into a one-on-one battle with Rinier and Fern with Lugner. Fern and Stark’s battle comes to a close. Lugner uses his blood to crucify Fern and interrogate him to find out Freelen’s whereabouts. However, Fern sees an opening and escapes from this crisis, picks up the magic staff, and attacks Lugner. Rugner, who seemed relaxed initially, was gradually pushed into a corner by her continuous attacks.
The battle between the two broke into a fierce battle. At that time, Stark and Linier were engaged in a hand-to-hand fight using an ax as a weapon. Linie, who is good at imitating the movements of others, uses the techniques of Stark’s teacher, Eisen (CV. Yoji Ueda), to corner him. However, Stark never gave up on the fight despite this onslaught. And then, the flash attack they fired to trade each other finally defeated Linie.
Lugner and Fern continue to exchange magic. It was at the moment when Linie was defeated that the evenly matched battle began to change. Rugner shows a momentary gap when his comrades die. Fern didn’t miss it and released the magic “Zoltrak” to capture Lugner. Many impressions were posted on X (formerly Twitter), where the powerful battle scenes captivate viewers, and “Freeren” became a trending topic in Japan on this day as well.
The most exciting part of the post was the moment when the fierce battle between Fern and Stark was depicted.
The impressive footage received comments such as “The battle scenes are excellent” and “It moves so smoothly…” and comments praising the duo such as “Fern is cool…the drawing is amazing…” and “Stark is so cool!!” were also seen.
The remaining battle is Freelen vs. Aura. Can we see the conclusion next week? I’m looking forward to the broadcast. Written by Harunoto *Tanezaki Atsumi no Saki is correctly called “Tatsusaki”
