Mimics have made appearances in various media, including anime and video games.

Frieren is an incredibly skilled mage, but there's something that makes her vulnerable and easy to defeat.
It is common to see Frieren fall into the Mimic trap after a smaller story arc and journeys. The humorous notion that the world's strongest mage can fall into the same trap over and over makes the monster a popular character.

Anime Debut |
Episode 1 |
The Hero Party's journey in defeating the Demon King is arguably successful due to Himmel's efforts both as a warrior and leader of the party. Although he appears to be unassumingly kind, his ability as a swordsman leads him to become humanity's strongest champion, which is also complemented by his ability as a tactician.
His kind disposition and tendency to help everyone also make him the ultimate fan favorite of the series. His shortcomings are also highlighted by the fact that he is not the Chosen Hero, as he is not capable of pulling the Hero's Sword. But that does not stop him from stopping the Demon King with his assembled party.
