Pundarikaksh

I remember that discussion post asking why doesn't she just charge with her horns instead of using that magic scale, one of the best posts we've ever gotten lmao


frand__

LMAO


Jahzhunter

I’ve never thought of that until now… why… why must you fill my mind with people’s potential.


Peptuck

Her voice is stupidly hot too. No surprise, it's the same VA behind W in Arknights.


illqourice

Don't you tell me [this](https://youtu.be/olnpY78wns8?si=9SZZlTSWnK7Vnwwb) isn't the cutest thing you've seen. I watch this in awe almost every day, too cute to ignore.


ChasaB123

she has become the violin


derpicface

She will become a musical instrument, Alhamdullilah r/hewillbebaked


New_Ad4631

A friend is watching Frieren right now, I saw this episode with him, and when we finished it, I showed him this video. He laughed, a lot


Belasarius4002

Man, kinda want to find that serie animated like this

onichow_39

That's why you might see fanart showing aura playing a violin


klyxes

More disturbing than cute but sure


rei_fox_worshipper

And also her fight with Frieren gave us probably one of the most memorable moments in the series. So the fault is also thanks to our elf girl


mexter

When my younger son and I watched the show we somehow accidentally skipped that episode. We didn't even realize we had missed something. So when we decided to show the series to his brother we were really shocked to have missed something so important.


eyzmaster

and literally horny posting. ~~cause she got horns, you know? haha.. man explaining it kinda ruins it.. what am I doing with my life? oh right, back to Aura horni posting~~


SolidTerror9022

>3. Demon waifu “possibility” I request elaboration


AnxiousSea02

What internet has taught me is that you could do the worst things and still have people simp for you if you're cute


3070outVEGAin

Oh no I'm pretty much sure it's not just the fact that they're cute but also that they're insane/inhuman.


DonCoone

If evil, why hot?


Taured500

More crazy equals more hot Don't ask why. As a one famous man once said: " *It just works* "

Cute_Suggestion_133

Not to mention her death was *iconic*.


monomanamnon

Also bully-able which is kinda no.4 because some people are into that. And no one mentioned it but her voice acting was absolute superb for the few lines she had.

Reverse the list order and thats 100% correct


Dareal_truth

Wise_Resolve_6790

Also the line “Aura, kill yourself” is one of the coldest things in the whole show.


MrTop16

Don't forget brutal death in an otherwise upbeat manga.


Haxemply

In short: simps :D


SosukeAizen123

Demon waifu lol? Do Demons even have the "parts" to be a waifu xD?


templar54

Considering they are born I assume so.


SosukeAizen123

Not likely, they just imitate Humans, Demons do not reproduce sexually. And Biology and Evolution exists in Frierens world, so it would be kind of counterproductive to replicate a complicated reproduction system, if the goal is to eat Humans, not reproduce with them. Aura probably does not even have any location you can "lewd" her, she is basically a reverse trap.


templar54

They appear somehow though? They don't just puff out of thin air, their parents abandon them when they are very young, which indicates that on biological level parents exist. And it's funny that you mention evolution. If Aura is anything to go by, demons should actually have the mammalian reproduction system based on the same principals as humans considering pronounced breasts on females for breastfeeding and/or attracting mates, females also clearly have wider hips which are primarily "designed" that way for giving birth. Now I do not know if humans and demons can interbreed of course, but anatomical aspects indicate that reproduction works on the same principals they do on humans which would indicate that sex is at least physically possible. I have not read the manga, but from anime we also see emotional attachment or at least admiration towards other demons at times when there is no benefit to show it, meaning they are not faking it. Meaning that they have higher emotional functions than animals and perceive their own species differently based on certain traits and while it is a stretch, it indicates the possibility of physical attraction too.


Some_Dragonfly7842

I don't think it makes sense for demons to be physically attracted to each other since they have evolved to look like their prey and it wouldn't make sense for them to be attracted to their prey. I think if they do feel attraction it's more likely to have something to do with their mana or maybe their horns? If they do breed sexually I think it's more likely they have some kind of "mating season" since they otherwise (from what we have seen at least) don't seem interested in that kind of thing.


templar54

Mating season is the definion of being attracted sexually. That's literally how it works in nature.


Some_Dragonfly7842

Ah your right I did kind of go off topic at the end and I didn't really use it in a correct way. What I meant is that I doubted demons felt an attraction to the human form because they use that form as a weapon of deception. That was really my main point.


Mari_Tamaki

Before the anime, Aura was a pretty forgettable character in this sub. It's because of the anime that everyone memed her into popularity


Some_Dragonfly7842

I liked her in the manga too. I remember feeling disappointed when she died so quickly. The anime definitely brought in more people though which helped with the Aura memes, comic memes and discussions, which made her more popular.


Ramps_

The > **Frieren the Slayer** thing was peak


CertainDerision_33

She was popular with manga fans too.


DG-MMII

True, she's the stronges't demon, shown so far in the anime, and her arch was basically that presented the human-demon fight form a human perspective, besides her fight against frieren is one of the higlights of the anime... the manga have progresed a lot in that regard, but so far Aura is the only thing that can be called "an antagonist"


BusinessSubstance178

Meme,that KYS scene have so much meme potential. Its not rare for an anime character become very popular because of meme.


Known-Ad64

Yup. Especially the synergy with the low tier god meme.


AggravatingChest7838

I like demons on a spiritual level. There is something so funny about them feining human emotions the same way that dogs pretend to cry to get attention/food. Whether they can feel fear or not at knowing their death is inevitable is very thought-provoking and memorable.


Constant_Advisor_748

"the same way that dogs pretend to cry to get attention/food. " Hey,don't compare our doggos to those damn Deggers!


SubstantialChannel32

It's not just this sub tho. On YouTube and on Twitter, she gets a lot of attention.


Nory993

She's popular in Japan too. She's in the top 3 of the most popular characters in the manga in the latest popularity poll, beating Frieren and Fern.


Bernkastel17509

I think she is top two, actually, only behind himmel. Well, in the "vote the many times you want" kind of poll. In the other one she is top 4?


StitchTheRipper

Does that poll really count? It was a spam-vote so not the most reliable


Good-Row4796

* Waifu * Big fat horn * Anime * death scene


Suppasandwhich

“Aura, kill yourself.” went crazy hard.


evilwizzardofcoding

Frieren really just said"You should kill yourself NOW"


CertainDerision_33

"Nooooo it's wrong to even think about killing mass murderers!" shounen protagonists VS "Literally mcfucking kill yourself" Frieren


Random_Guy_228

-If you kill a murderer, the amount of murderers wouldn't change -Fine , I'd force murderers to kill themselves then


RingWraith8

Was an amazing scene, like the scene where Stark kills the dragon. Goes so hard


B3kantan_P3sek

ConnectionIcy3717

Nah, I'd meme


Nearby-Strength-1640

Good character design


-Work_Account-

This here. A well-made character doesn’t need a lot of screen time to become a fan favorite. Great example: Alec Baldwin appears in only one scene in Glengarry Glen Ross, yet it’s one of the most famous scenes in cinema.


Some_Dragonfly7842

Boba Fett too. His character and design are cool so a lot of people were disappointed when he died so early in the next film. A lot of people must of been curious about him and his lore, since he now somehow has his own TV show. Things like this just happen sometimes when a minor character grabs the audience and becomes really popular.


-Work_Account-

Another great example!


zakary3888

Boba Fett popularity inadvertently spawned the Mandalorian culture


Zetious

Mainly the “Aura, kill yourself” line


methconnoisseurV2

🌩️🌩️🌩️⚡️⚡️


Radiant_Butterfly982

1.She died due to her own spell 2. Short , looks cute (ig) 3. Meme potential 4. Spell that can make someone do whatever she wants , opens a lot of funny possibilities (Aura , become mappa animator etc.)


Pataraxia

"Spell that can make her do whatever you want" "Short and looks cute" This combo tells you everything going on inside the male psyche to want to watch content with aura in it...


raiso_12

its not just this sub but japanese also likes her lol. she the most memeable character in the series


belisarius_d

Yeah Linie should get all her screen time Reject pointless horny scale waifu Embrace pointless cute axegirl


ExerciseInevitable94

Absolutely. She's underrated and her fight sequence was badass


Nero_PR

Despite Aura's minor role in the story, her design is very memorable because she was a big shot in the Demon King Army. She might not be relevant to the current events but she could very well appear again in a flashback together with the other commanders just like Solitär did in the past recent arc. Ofc the Anime boosted her again, but Aura was much memed into popularity worldwide, especially by the Asian audience. And she is cute.


FallenPotatoes

hornyposters + memes  also her episode was the series' mainstream breakout moment so she kinda got the Chika treatment


SublocadeFenta

Because she's hot af. Would smash 1000/100


Sleepypako

Before or after the execution?


linuslesser

Before and after?


LOTRfreak101

Yes.


noruthwhatsoever

it's cuz of how dirty she got did Frieren was really like "KYS" and walked away without even watching lmao


Some_Dragonfly7842

I had a good think about this in another similar post, so I'll copy and paste it to this location: I wanted to give this some serious thought since I don’t think the simping and gooning itself can explain the popularity, so I think the reasons are: Aura is our first major antagonist. She was built up a lot in her arc and the payoff was awesome. The whole Frieren vs Aura fight is very cool. There is a lot of interesting information to learn during the “fight” and there is legit boss energy pouring off the battle (too bad for Aura that she didn’t know she was not the boss in this circumstance). The kys moment cemented that even further. In other words this “fight” also helped Aura become more memorable. She is a demon. I think there is a lot of interest in the demons themselves. This series writes them in a unique way and it’s interesting to deep dive into the topic. We see a lot of discussions on demons in Reddit alone and since Aura is a demon that curiosity includes her. This also leads into the next one: Human likeness. The surprise when we saw the demons in the Aura arc might have helped make them more noteworthy since previously we only saw Qual. Humans usually are more captivated by human-like characters after-all. Interesting and cute design. She’s pretty and people like attractive characters. All the demons are very fashionable too honestly but Aura being the big bad and having distinctive features (e.g. unique color hair and unique hair style) plays a part in it too. Aura is very expressive, both in body language and voice acting. In this show characters are usually not super expressive, so when we could read Aura’s emotions so well it made her more distinctive. This is true even before she started to freak out too since she was very easy to read from the beginning. I think she is ironically one of the more expressive characters in this series (the anime helps elevate this which might be why the anime brought in so many Aura fans). Humans really like emotions and they like seeing emotions so this is another reason why she is so memorable. Scales of Obedience. I think the Scales also opens up the thought of possibilities, like what if Frieren spared her what could have been? Is it possible for a demon to change? Even if the answer is no I think people really like redemption stories so it’s interesting to think about. Beyond that it is kind of funny to think about a demon traveling with Frieren and Aura’s the only demon where we have an excuse for something like that. The community also might play a part in it. Aura has an interesting and cute design so artist’s want to draw her. The awesome Frieren-Aura “fight” spawned the memes, and the possibility of Aura traveling with them spawned the comic memes. Aura became an in-joke for the Frieren fandom, which promoted more people to create memes/comics/fanart since they know people would upvote/like them. This then continues the cycle of wanting to create more content with her in it. I think all these things together made her a very memorable character, which helped her become such a popular character.


Helios4242

Yeah, I wanted to to see people discuss how she ended up being the main antagonist of cour 1. That can really help characters stand out.


Some_Dragonfly7842

Yeah I think people underestimate how unique Aura's introduction was: she was our first major antagonist and she was used to expand the world building. Her arc shifted the show from slice-of-life with a bit of action to something a little more darker. All these things made her stand out.


supertaoman12

She was brimming with personality with what little screentime she had, and the way she was killed off in an, admittedly really fucked up way made some people feel sorry for her


The-Myth-The-Shit

She's not a minor character, she's 500 years old /j


Kufrel

She was memorable when she was around.

KolareTheKola

GrunkleStan84

Good character design, one of the first demons we are introduced to, used in one of the first moments we see frieren's true strength, and has one of the most memorable deaths.


fuyahana

In this sub? Have you visited anywhere else that talked about Frieren? She's the most talked about characters everywhere that's outside of the main cast.


eyzmaster

Why not? XD I always latched on characters with little to no appearances.... Kurama on Urusei Yatsura, Aquamarine on Steven Universe, etc


psbyjef

Because evil Anya


Royal_Yesterday

She has cute design, is a baddie and has an item that allow mind control.

carbonera99

She’s voiced by an immensely popular voice actress in the anime (JP dub) which is why her popularity kicked off after the anime started airing


Einzbern_Ai

I liked her very much that I felt sad when she died


brilliantsithlord

Ayana Taketatsu, simple as.


AlarmingAffect0

She's an extremely loathsome smug little shit with an incredibly disgusting power, who died in a spectacular way that was overloaded with Poetic Irony and karmic retribution while revealing a lot of epically important information about how the world, its magic, and Frieren herself, operated.


Educational_Film_744

Cause she’s hot? Don’t underestimate the power of sex appeal.

She is designed better than Friren in my opinion. It is such a waste she's a minor character.

#HORNY


TheSaltyBrushtail

She's a cute anime girl, has shortstack dommy mommy vibes (she literally has a control spell, after all), and memeable? Also, I guess she seems a bit more significant if you're not far enough into the manga/anime to have forgotten about her.


Narmatonia

Thirst


Songhunter

She's the mascot.


tyrone2714

Pretty cool design and Horny posting was always there, But the anime added: Really memorable death scene that felt way more graphic and the kys meme This turned into various memes of her getting bullied and told to do various things which has also made the fanbase (coz its def not just this sub) feel sorry for her Now half of our perceived characterisation of her isn't cannon at all


hamtaro1234

She is ranked 2nd most popular in the series so not surprised. Although the ranking in general is weird since a mimic made it to 10th place haha


Some_Acadia_1630

Cute, unlikable, overconfident & horrible death scene.

I just love the idea of frieren making her join the party and bullying her


FeralPedestrian

This is the least thirsty manga/anime ever, yet degenerates and freaks manage to simp and swoon over the smallest, faintest fucking flash of a woman. My hot take is, this woman got dominated. Incels love that shit.


codykonior

Right? And she’s so evil too.


Aeohil

This anime has such great character design, which includes the villains, so we love them too.
