Who Is the Demon King in Frieren?

So far, both the Frieren anime and the manga series have yet to reveal the real name of the Demon King. He remains a figure of mystery who stands at the very top of the demon hierarchy.

Like most demon kings in other anime shows, Frieren’s Demon King has exceptional abilities and an army that’s ready to defend his name, pride, and glory against all humanity.

The existence of the Demon King has always been a problem for the Hero’s Party, or even Frieren’s Party.

Throughout Frieren’s journey to Aureole, the Demon King has always been mentioned by their enemies and even the people who are concerned about their safety.

In the past, the Hero’s Party, led by Himmel, had a pretty difficult time defeating the Demon King.

Not much is known about their struggle, but Himmel mentioned some time ago that a lot had happened in the Demon King’s castle, indicating a long and difficult fight.

Unfortunately, the Demon King’s powers and abilities are kept under wraps in Frieren. But we can assume that he is a highly exceptional ruler who holds the most power, control, and reign among all the demons.

We can also assume that he has immense mana, greater than all of his subordinates. He might also be a skilled warrior, given how he appears to wear a full-plated armor in one of the manga panels in Frieren.

  • He lives in a castle located in Ende.

  • He is powerful enough to earn the fealty of all the demons, including his generals and the Seven Sages of Destruction.
  • He is successful in fostering order among all demons.
