Himmel the Hero inspires man to defeat knife-wielding attacker DexertoA Taiwanese man who fought off a knife-wielding attacker on the Taichung Metro has quoted Himmel the Hero from Frieren: Beyond Journey\u2019s End as an inspiration for his bravery. On May 21, 2024, passengers subdued a knife-wielding man who attacked people on a train in central Taichung, Taiwan. The attack occurred on the tenth anniversary of a deadly knife rampage on Taipei\u2019s metro, and three people were taken to the hospital for their injuries. Local news outlets interviewed the individuals who took down the attacker on June 4, and officials awarded them medals for their bravery. In the interview, one young man explains that Himmel influenced his actions. \u201cIt\u2019s what Himmel the Hero would have done,\u201d said the man through translation. Himmel is one of the original four great heroes depicted in Frieren: Beyond Journey\u2019s End. Tales of his accomplishments and acts of bravery are referenced multiple times throughout the anime and have now reached into the real world. The news of Himmel\u2019s influence on the young man made it to the show\u2019s official Reddit page, where other fans began discussing how the show has impacted people\u2019s lives. \u201cHimmel is such a great role model he is even changing the real world, the guy is OP,\u201d stated the top comment underneath the post. The thread discussing the incident included more references to Frieren: Beyond Journey\u2019s End, including a key plot point revealed towards the end of the show. While well-known as one of the greatest heroes of the time, Himmel was unable to pass the one test of pulling a goddess sword from a stone, as he was not the \u201cchosen\u201d one. But that hiccup did not stop him from doing incredible things, which one commenter pointed out in this case. \u201cYou do not need to pull a goddess sword to be a hero. Hats off to the guy,\u201d said the commenter. The young man, who stepped into harm\u2019s way to save others, may not be known worldwide but he has become a real hero for those within the Frieren: Beyond Journey\u2019s End community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
