by In the anime Funeral Freeren, it is a hot topic that the treasure chest that Freelen (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki ) opens is a mimic, and his head is bitten. In episode 23, she is again caught in Mimic’s trap, making her fans laugh.
The anime “Funeral Free Ren” is based on the manga of the same name (original work by Kaneto Yamada/illustration by Tsukasa Abetsu) currently being serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday.” With a cumulative circulation of over 17 million copies, the work attracted attention for winning the “69th Shogakukan Manga Award” in January 2024. The story’s main character is Freelen, an elf wizard who has lived for over 1000 years. The story is about how she defeats the demon lord with her hero Himmel (CV: Nobuhiko Okamoto ) and his friends, and over time, experiences separation from her friends and embarks on a journey to “get to know people.”
Freelen, a skilled magician, is a magic geek interested in all things magic. Therefore, ever since he was traveling with Himmel and his friends, he often fell into the traps of Mimics disguised as treasure chests.
In episode 23, “Labyrinth Conquest,” Freeland takes on the challenge of dungeon conquest in the second round of the first-class magician selection exam. The group finds a treasure chest on the way, but their friend Fern (CV: Kana Ichinose ) uses magic to identify it and warns them that the true identity of the treasure chest is a mimic.
However, Freelen countered, saying, The accuracy of that magic is 99%.” “What’s inside is a precious grimoire. My experience as a magician tells me so,” she declared confidently. However, in the next scene, she is bitten by a mimic, saying, It’s dark! It’s scary!” as usual, with her upper body bitten.
Freelen’s image of opening treasure chests without hesitation and being eaten by mimics each time drew laughter from fans, with comments such as Are you addicted to it again?”I haven’t learned anything” The punchline is two too many. The mimicry doesn’t disappoint” There was also a Tsukkomi comment saying, “What is your experience as a wizard?”
Because he has been bitten so many times, Freelen has become quite familiar with Mimic. In the 23rd episode, when Fern desperately pulls Freelen, who was bitten by a mimic, the person who was bitten says, “At times like this, push it in the other way. The Mimic will get angry and stop biting.” There was also a moment where he calmly taught. For those who like mimic stories, this is a must-see episode.
