The anime Sousou no Frieren ( Frieren: Beyond Journey's End ) has released its main trailer for the second season , raising expectations for its January premiere. Furthermore, the video confirms Inoue Kazuhiko as the voice of the Hero of the South , a character known as "the strongest human."
Meanwhile, the opening sequence gained prominence with the unreleased song "lulu." , the new single from the band Mrs. GREEN APPLE . The song already appears in the trailer and reinforces the emotional atmosphere of this new phase of the story.
The video features never-before-seen scenes of Frieren , Fern , and Stark on another journey marked by memories, farewells, and silent choices. In this way, the narrative maintains the reflective tone that captivated the audience.
In an official commentary, Inoue Kazuhiko highlighted the complexity of the character, even with few lines, emphasizing the "quietness full of determination" of the Hero of the South. On the other hand, Motoki Ohmori explained that "lulu." is about emotional legacies and moving forward without forgetting one's origins.
