~ Freid's vengeance toward Hajime. |
Freid Bagwa is one of the secondary antagonists of the Japanese web-turned-light novel, manga and anime franchise Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest.
He is the general of Garland (home of Tortus' demons), and a devoted worshiper of Alva and then Ehit as well. He was responsible for creating the monsters, the demonic creatures that infested Tortus and ate lots of people, the ones that Hajime was forced to eat and mutated into a monster-hybrid, in order to survive by clearing the Labyrinths, created by using "ancient magic". He is the second archenemy of the series' main protagonist, Hajime Nagumo (behind Ehit) and also the archenemy of the Dragonmen tribe's princess, Tio Klarus (who scarred and later killed him). During his final battle against Hajime and his allies, he was killed by Tio.
He is voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi in Japanese and Brandon Potter in English.
Personality[]
Freid is loyal to his own species, the demons, and his nation, Garland. He cares for their well being, as he doesn't want to uselessly waste other lives after he watched helplessly as Hajime Nagumo (Freid Bagwa's most hated foe) killed one hundred thousand of his troops in a blink of eye, choosing to retreat, founding himself in possession of no other options. He is also quite vengeful, especially when his fellow demons, namely Cattleya and Mikhail, were killed by Hajime and his party and got serious injuries from Tio in her dragon form, whose attacks scarred him forever, wanting to make Tio pay for attacking and scarring him as far as becoming her archenemy, which only proved to be an empty vengeance the right moment Tio killed him.
He is an arrogantly devoted worshiper of Alva and then Ehit as well. He will kill those who he deems as "heretics", namely those who are disloyal towards or insult the so-called "gods", even once trying to kill Hajime by an ambush, which failed due to the synergist’s monstrous strength, causing that attack to only injure him. His ambushing to Hajime has nearly gotten himself killed by Tio. According to Hajime, Freid is a complete idiot when has a very bad habit of category when believing Hajime is an ally of the Heiligh Kingdom and the fake heroes.
Freid despised humans as they are considered as an inferior species. However, in the order of his land, he is willing to recruit the so-called "Hero Party" or kill them if they refused. He attempted to convince Yue to join to the demon side, only for her to refuse and insult him by calling him ugly, due to her loyalty to Hajime alone. Although his alignment with Eri Nakamura, he doesn't hold a complete trust on her for her insanity, but is willing to work together, due to Ehit's amusement on Eri.
Freid is also quite short-tempered, being easily irritated when people insult him, such as when Yue called him ugly, as he is prideful of his looks, when he foolishly thought of her as Ehit's "champion", or when Hajime called him the “foolish one” for his dimwittedness and delusional beliefs, after he realized Hajime and his companions were never affiliated to the Heiligh Kingdom or the falsely chosen heroes and cared nothing for them. He is even very irritated from the humiliating scars received from Tio Klarus (a dragonmen princess who became his archenemy) as he want to make her pay for humiliating him which is nothing but an empty chance when Tio killed him.
Like Eri Nakamura and Ehit, Freid is intolerant of his pawns' weaknesses as well to discarded them when he is done using them. He has no concerns to both Yukitoshi Shimizu and Daisuke Hiyama's demises at the hands of Bagwa's greatest and most hated enemy, Hajime Nagumo, due to them being too weak and useless for his future-still-delusional plans against Nagumo and his comrades, letting the two useless Shimizu and Hiyama's death be in vain. He view Hiyama as a waste of time for being such a worthless weakling, when Bagwa has no qualms of allowing his creations to eat Daisuke Hiyama alive as Freid has easily gotten over Hiyama's death since he was no longer any uses to him.
Like both Eri and Hiyama, Freid is also a coward, as, although capable of attempting to fight those stronger than him, in the most desperate situations, he tried to take his enemies' loved ones as hostages in order to force them to surrender, another tactic that, yet again, useless on Hajime when he foolishly believed Hajime and his companions to care for the Heiligh Kingdom and believed he is allies with the "Hero Party" in hope for Hajime to give him the location of the Labyrinths, only to find out that Hajime and his companions never cared about the Kingdom and has no allegiances with the Heiligh Kingdom or the so-called "chosen heroes" due to their uncaring attitude for Tortus, refusing to give him the locations. His final attempt of using Aiko, Remia, Myu and the students as hostages towards Hajime was even more futile, when Freid has been tricked by Nagumo so easily by faking his surrender and allowing himself to be free to massacre the demons of Garland.
Like Kouki Amanogawa and Daisuke Hiyama, Freid is a delusional, reckless and persistent idiot, due to his twisted beliefs. Due to his both delusions and extremely low emotional quotience, he refused to believe that he was just a pawn of Ehit's games due to him blinded by his ridiculous ego. He always did nothing but underestimating Hajime and his comrades' abilities, even after he lost against him and his companions three times (though Freid died in his third defeat). Even after learning that the demon's god and the human's god were one and the same, he chose to believe their whole history of war was a trial to prove the demons were to worthy on following Ehit, instead of accepting the truth that everything he and his fellow demons had only done and died for nothing but the cruel amusement of Ehit which makes Freid as a completely deluded fool.
However, his deluded actions has became his downfall when Freid was killed by Tio Klarus.
Abilities and Powers[]
- Advanced Strength: As the General of Garland, Freid is widely the strongest of all demons. He obtained more power when he became an Apostle-Demon hybrid. Despite of him being the "strongest" among all demons however, his abilities are far weaker than those of the monstrous Hajime Nagumo and his companions (that includes Yue and Tio, the latter of which gave him serious injuries). Despite obtaining power of the Apostle and mutated, this power is still far too weak against Hajime and his companions (such as Tio who killed him).
- Advanced Endurance: Freid has endurance and stamina when he managed to clear two labyrinths with his injuries. However, his endurance cannot withstand of those who are more powerful than himself as he gotten severely injured and nearly killed by Tio Klarus (in her true form) and Yue. He can barely walk with the serious injury that he received from Yue when she used "restoration magic" of reopening Freid Bagwa's wounds from Hajime and Tio from their previous encounter.
- "Age of Gods" Magic: Freid's magical power allowed him to manipulate space, create barriers and portals, project powerful beams and using magical circles. He used the "Age of Gods" Magic to create the an army of monsters (the ones that Hajime forcefully devoured to survived and mutated into a hybrid). However, due to his dimwittedness, his attacks were all always avoided or deflected, or when they dealt damages, they weren't lethal, as seen when Yue managed to survive to his attacks and even managed to severely wounding him and causing him to run away in defeat like a coward.
Weaknesses[]
- Arrogance: Much like for Daisuke Hiyama and Kouki Amanogawa, one of Freid's main weaknesses is his arrogance. Due to his blind faith for Ehit, his ego has constantly been only letting himself be fooled and gotten defeated easily by those such as Tio (twice) and Hajime when he always underestimates them. Much as Hiyama, Freid doesn't engage his opponents directly as he always relied on ambushing them while they were off-guard which makes Bagwa himself as a dirty coward. His unwavering worship for Ehit has made him blinded and deluded when he refused to believe that Ehit was only using him as a pawn. His overconfidence and arrogance has also led to his demise when Tio killed him after their second battle.
- Low intelligence: Much like for Kouki Amanogawa and Daisuke Hiyama, Freid is a total idiot who has an extremely low Emotional Quotience (EQ) due to his delusional beliefs despite his tactics (which is poor, mislead and foolish). According to Hajime Nagumo, he has a very bad category of habits when he believed Nagumo was an ally of the Heiligh Kingdom and as such cares for it, which is actually the complete opposite as Hajime was never an ally of the Kingdom nor does he care about them and the so-called "chosen heroes". He even foolishly believed that Yue was Ehit's so-called "champion" when he invited her to the demon territory, only for her to reject his offer shortly afterward due to her only accepting so as make Freid suffer as badly as he once did to Hajime. Due to his blind worship to Ehit, his own ignorance has made him an even greater idiot than before as he lets himself be fooled when Hajime easily tricked him by a feigned surrender after he failed when using his classmates, Aiko-sensei, Liliana as well both Myu and Remia as hostages where Freid was eventually killed by Tio Klarus.
- Cowardice: Much like for Daisuke Hiyama and Eri Nakamura, but not as much as them, Freid is an outright coward, as he relies on ambushing his strong enemies while they were off-guard or using his powerful enemies' love ones to force them to surrender which only ends up failing. Freid managed to escape from Hajime and his companions though he suffered a severe injury from Tio as a consequence for his foolishness. Freid ran away from Yue when he was too weak against her.
- Delusions: Like Eri Nakamura (his partner), Kouki Amanogawa and Daisuke Hiyama, Freid is very delusional due to him being so ignorant and living in complete denial for his devotion of Ehit.
Relationships[]
Allies[]
Garland King - Ruler of Garland[]
Freid is loyal to his king. After his defeat by Hajime, he apologized to his ruler for his failure, only for the king to ensure the general that Hajime is far too powerful for him, telling him that he made a mistake by underestimating him.
Alva - His God[]
Freid devotedly worships Alva, to the point of viewing humanity's god (who will later become his own) weak in comparison. As a fanatically devoted worshipper, Fried will punish all those he deems "heretical" and "disrespectful" towards Alva.
Ehit - His New God[]
Freid is a devoted worshiper of Ehit. He will terminate anyone who is a disloyal "heretic" or an "Irregular" that defied Ehit. Learning Ehit is the "god" that Garland worships, Freid followed Ehit's goal to wipe out humanity after they turned against the fake god. However, Ehit shown disapproval when Freid failed him after his death at the hands of Tio Klarus. According to Hajime, Ehit only viewed Freid as pawn to his disposable and shown no concern over Bagwa's death when he quickly got over it.
Noint - His Ally[]
Noint was Freid's ally. However, after Noint's death, Freid realized he once again simply underestimated Hajime's abilities.
Hearst - His Ally[]
After his failures in the invasion and being once again defeated by Hajime and his companions, Hearst offered 500 apostles to Freid, hoping to finally terminate Hajime, his party and the former (fake) heroes. However, their plan failed when the 500 apostles all proved to be too weak against Hajime and his party, who managed to defeat and kill them all as well as both Hearst and Freid were killed by two of Hajime's companions (Shea Haulia for Hearst and Tio Klarus for Freid).
Cattleya - His Subordinate[]
Cattleya was one of Freid's subordinates, who was tasked to go to the Orcus Labyrinth to retrieve the "Age of Gods" magic. However, he learned from Eri Nakamura of Cattleya's failure and death at the hands of Hajime Nagumo.
Mikhail - His Subordinate[]
Mikhail was one of Freid's subordinates. When Freid informed him of Cattleya's failure and death at the hands of an "irregular", Mikhail was blinded by his hatred towards Hajime after his loss of Cattleya when he disobeyed Freid's direct commands, foolishly trying to kill Hajime himself, only to be easily defeated and killed at the hands of Shea Haulia after a brief fight between her and Mikhail's army (who were too weak against Shea).
Eri Nakamura - His Partner-in-Crime[]
Eri was Freid's "comrade" and also a spy for his land, Garland. However, he usually distrusted her because of his hatred towards humans, especially Eri, due to her psychopathy and her treacherous nature. Eri informed him of Cattleya's failure and death. Following Freid and Eri's failures after they were easily defeated by Hajime, Bagwa picked up his partner-in-crime and retreated to Garland, swearing they will return to take their revenge on Nagumo which is only an empty attempt when both lost their own lives in the final battle against Hajime.
Daisuke Hiyama - Pawn[]
Though never meeting face to face, Hiyama was once an ally to Freid due to Eri's alliance (before she broke it due to his weaknesses). When Hiyama faced his death, Freid (like Nakamura) only sees Hiyama as a pawn to his and Eri's schemes when he quickly disposed Hiyama by letting his creations to devour him. After his death, Freid has no concern over Hiyama (similar to Shimizu) and like everyone else, viewed him as worthless for being pathetically weak for his next plans against Hajime, his companions and the former (fake) heroes.
Monsters - His creations[]
The monsters are Freid's creations, created with the "Age of Gods" magic. He attempted to create more monsters to rule Tortus. However, his attempts failed because Hajime and his companions gotten in his way.
Enemies[]
Hajime Nagumo - Second Archenemy[]
“ | I will get my vengeance for this shame. In the name of my god, I will destroy you! | „ |
~ Freid expressing his hatred toward Hajime Nagumo for destroying his army. |
Hajime is Freid's most hated archenemy (behind Tio).
Freid holds an absolute hatred towards Hajime for not only did he interference in Freid's plans for "Age of Gods" Magic, but also for his disrespect for his "god". As Ehit's follower, he calls Hajime as "Irregular" as Freid attempted to terminate Hajime at all costs. However, his ambushing attempt failed managing only to injure Hajime. When Hajime injured Freid, the demon general escaped, as he cannot handle Hajime's abilities. In their second encounter, Freid foolishly held Hajime's classmates and the citizens of the Heiligh Kingdom hostage, hoping Hajime would surrender and give him the locations of the Great Labyrinths. Hajime, however, activated his satellite laser and destroyed 100,000 of Freid's troops as well intentionally brought destruction to the half part of the Heiligh Kingdom when the deluded general watched helplessly before Hajime insulted him by calling him the foolish one for his delusional beliefs, as he has no affiliation for the Heiligh Kingdom or allies with the so-called "chosen heroes". Following the destruction, Hajime offered Freid to leave freely or die if he continued to fight him. With the annihilation of his troops, Freid chose to retreat but warn Hajime, he swore revenge on him in the name of his "god" which is nothing but a delusional threat.
Hajime also holds a hatred towards Freid for his failures at his foolishly-yet-weakly attempts to kill him. But Nagumo still viewed Bagwa as both a total idiot and a stupid fool (due to his extremely low Emotional Quotience (EQ)) as the demon general was blinded by Ehit's lies and refused to believe everything that Hajime was telling the truth of Ehit's filthy nature, when Nagumo failed on trying to convince Bagwa that his so-called "god" Ehit was only using him and his fellow demons as pawns to his disposal due to Ehit never actually cared about anyone other than himself alone. He agreed to Hearst's proposal of having 500 Apostle army to kill Hajime only for all of them to die at the hands of Nagumo and Freid perished at the hands of Tio Klarus (one of Hajime's companions) when Bagwa was never get the chance to fight Hajime in order to exact revenge on Nagumo for massacring his soldiers (including Cattleya and Mikhail) after Nagumo easily fooled Bagwa when he faked his surrender for Bagwa's failed-yet- weakly attempted of using his classmates, Aiko-Sensei, Liliana, Remia and Myu as hostages, only to be freed and cause a massacre in Garland.
Yue - Enemy[]
Yue is Freid's enemy for injuring Hajime. When Freid offered to Yue to join the demon side due to him thought of her as Ehit's so-called "champion", Yue rejected his idiotic offer by calling him ugly as she only came to him making sure he suffers for what he did to Hajime. Yue dealt a serious injury blow towards Freid when using "restoration magic", reopening his wounds from both Hajime and Tio, causing him to cowardly run away from Yue, as he is too weak against her.
Tio Klarus - Archnemesis and Killer[]
Tio is Freid's archnemesis and killer.
Tio holds a strong hatred towards Freid for failed-yet foolishly attempt to kill Hajime but only injuring Nagumo. When Freid retreated after his failed ambushing attempt on Hajime failed, Tio (in her dragon form) chased and severely injured Freid, but he managed to escape, remaining, however, easily scarred in the process as a consequence of his foolish actions. After receiving numerous scars on his body from Tio, Freid became irritated from his humiliation and wanted to make Tio pay for what she did to him when he developed a complete hatred towards the dragonmen princess. In the final battle however, his attempted vengeance towards Tio was nothing but an empty chance, as shown and proven when she killed a transformed, yet still-not-powerful-enough Freid, despite of him having obtained the power of a Demon-Apostle hybrid which is still too weak.
Shea Haulia - Enemy[]
Shea is Freid's enemy after her murder upon Mikhail. For injuring Hajime, Shea will kill Freid for his failed ambushing attempt on Hajime. She viewed Freid to be weak and considered him as a piece of trash.
"Hero Party" - Enemies[]
The so-called "Hero Party" are the enemies to Freid Bagwa. In the order of his land, he was willing to recruit them to the demon side just so Garland will destroy the Heiligh Kingdom and took over Tortus. He foolishly believed that the so-called "chosen heroes" are Hajime's allies when he used them as hostages to force Nagumo to surrender only to realized Hajime never really cared about his classmates after the latter wiped out Bagwa's 100,000 troops and intentionally destroyed the half part of the Heiligh Kingdom. Seeing Hajime became allies with his classmates after he given them another chance to help him, Freid, Hearst and the Apostles captured the students who were guarding the Heiligh Kingdom as well Aiko-Sensei, Princess Liliana and even both Remia (one of Hajime's lovers) and Myu (Hajime's adoptive daughter) to use them against Nagumo, his companions and his other classmates (who are travelling with Nagumo). However, this hostage taking yet failed again when Hajime easily tricked Freid and the demon, where Bagwa was slain by Tio, Eri died when she committed suicide and for Alva (the false demon god) was captured, tortured and later killed by Nagumo in order to free his classmates, Aiko-Sensei, Liliana, Remia and Myu.
