Frieren anime episode 12 recap

After parting ways with Kraft in the previous episode, the Elven Mage Frieren and her party continued their Northward journey and arrived at the Village of the Sword that kept the Hero's Blade safe. The chief of the village welcomed the party and identified Frieren.

She admonished Frieren for not fulfilling her duty of coming to the village every 50 years and eradicating the demons around the vicinity. The next day, the party eliminated a bunch of demons lurking around, including the Lord of the Mountains guarding a cave.

Following that, Stark looked inside the cave and saw the Hero's Blade embedded in a stone. The red-haired warrior was confused because he knew the late hero, Himmel, possessed the sword. However, Frieren informed Stark that Himmel couldn't draw the Holy sword during his journey.

The Blade only chose the true Hero, and it didn't deem him "Worthy." Despite that, he was firm on continuing his journey. Himmel knew it wouldn't matter if he could defeat the Demon King and bring prosperity to the world.

The village guarded the sword from the outside world because nobody knew Himmel's secret. After finishing their businesses, Frieren and her friends leave the village to continue their journey.

In the next segment of the episode, Frieren and Fern decided to gift something special to Stark on his 18th birthday. However, the red-haired warrior mentioned that he never received a birthday present in his life.

When Frieren made an extra-large hamburger steak for him, he reminisced how his master, Eisen, never gave him a present but prepared such hamburger on his birthdays. The Elfen mage then revealed that it was a custom from Eisen's land to give such hamburgers as a gift of honor to the fine warriors.

The episode ended with Stark overwhelmed with emotions. He enjoyed his meal while Frieren and Fern celebrated the red-haired warrior's birthday in fine fashion.
