The episode synopsis teases that fans will be in for a quiet new adventure to help fans get reintroduced to the main trio, “Leaving the magical city of Oisarst behind, Frieren, Fern, and Stark travel along the roads of the northern countries,” it begins.
“Along the way, they fall into a hole through loose ground,” the synopsis continues. “There they find a patch of ‘demon-sealing ore,’ a mineral with the power to nullify magic. Unable to use magic, Frieren and Fern search for a path to the surface, but a monster appears…” This debut will be of the original Japanese language audio with English subtitles for now, but Crunchyroll has confirmed that the new season will also be releasing an English dubbed version at a currently unconfirmed date to come as part of its schedule for the month.
