Frieren: Beyond Journey's End follows Frieren, the elven mage from hero Himmel's party who defeated the Demon King, as she embarks on a journey to understand human hearts and encounters the feelings of many people along the way.
The first season of the anime aired in 2023, and the second season is scheduled to begin broadcasting in January 2026.
This article compiles information about Land, a candidate for the First-Class Mage Examination. We'll cover everything from his basic profile to his personality, strength, and relationship with Übel.
Land
A cool and aloof Second-Class Mage. He doesn't trust others and tends to refuse to open up to them. He specializes in illusion magic and can create highly sophisticated replicas of himself.
A Calm and Composed Mage Who Doesn't Trust Others
Land is a cool young man who always remains composed with little change in his facial expressions. Even when cornered, he never loses his composure and is a cerebral type who calmly analyzes situations to find solutions.
He has a very cautious personality and doesn't trust others. During the first exam, he was in the same party as Übel and Fern but barely spoke to them beyond the bare minimum, refusing to open up out of concern about revealing his capabilities.
When fighting an unknown opponent (Scharf) in the first exam, he revealed, "I always observe before fighting someone I don't know," carefully watching his opponent from a distance rather than rushing into battle, looking for weaknesses before attacking.
While Land maintains a curt attitude toward everyone, he dislikes others sacrificing themselves for his sake, suggesting he's not a cold person at heart. His reluctance to engage with others beyond necessity might stem from a fear of forming unnecessary emotional attachments.
Creating Replicas of Himself with Illusion Magic
Land specializes in illusion magic, allowing him to simultaneously create multiple replicas of himself with physical substance. His replicas are extremely sophisticated—ordinary mages can't tell they're copies, and even skilled practitioners need to be very close to notice.
Additionally, his replicas have remarkable durability, not disappearing immediately even when suffering fatal-looking injuries. They can even create precise duplicates of belongings. The operational range is extraordinarily wide—he took the First-Class Mage Examination while his real body remained in his home village, and he once attended school in the imperial capital using replicas.
Übel described them as "perfect replicas with the same functions as the original." Because they're such high-precision replicas, they do require some time to create.
Beyond illusion magic, his basic magic skills, mana detection, and mana concealment are all high-grade, demonstrating his considerable prowess as a mage.
In the first exam, he knocked out Scharf by channeling electricity into his neck, confirming he can perform electrical attacks, though his other offensive magic capabilities remain unknown.
First-Class Mage Examination Results
Land smoothly passed both the first and second exams. In the third exam's interview with Serie, she immediately saw through his replica and pointed out that he never once appeared at the examination site in person during the exam. Impressed by his audacity in using a replica even for such an important occasion, she granted him a pass.
Relationship with Übel
Übel was immediately drawn to Land during the first exam, despite his reluctance to interact. Intrigued by his refusal to open up, the highly curious Übel nicknamed him "Glasses-kun." She then began actively following him—both around town after the initial test and through the dungeon during the second exam.
Land repeatedly gives her the cold shoulder, but Übel pays no mind to his rejections.
Even after passing the exam and becoming a First-Class Mage, Land and Übel remain connected. While they're far from being close friends due to Land's stubborn refusal to let down his guard, they're somehow becoming a good team that can work together when needed.
Voice Actor: Shohei Komatsu
Land is voiced by Shohei Komatsu. Born April 14th in Fukuoka Prefecture, he has appeared in various popular works including August von Earlshied in Wise Man's Grandchild and Ren Kizaki in The Idolmaster SideM.
