| from frieren's backstory that was shown the other day, we could see that elves can be killed, however if they were not killed on purpose, are they immortal? i have been really curious on their lifespans. is it mentioned in the manga, or did i miss them mentioning it in the anime? |

| In all media I know of Elves are described to have potentially infinite lifespan. |

| up until the latest episode the information we have is: frieren is 1000+ years old, the monk elf is even older than that. They could potentially be immortal, but considering the way the elf monk talked about life and death, ithink it's more likely that elves just have a vastly longer lifespan. |
| The anime didn't make that clear yet, so my guess is we're not supposed to know. But it seems inspired in Tolkien's version of elves, which are immortal (as in, they never get old). |
| Nino is the objectively superior one, don't @ me |

| @sandwich-boy what are you on about? and Kraft are both over 3000 and there's literally no mention of Half-elves period. |
| Nah, the guy that showed up last episode looked physically older than Frieren imo, so it probably just takes a REALLY long time. |
 |
| Does somebody know an example of an Elf from any famous work in media who actually is looking old-aged? A guy like this may have the age of the planet:  |

It hasn’t been confirmed in this series, but usually Elves cannot die from old age in most Fantasy universes. |

| Everyone's just making shit up. Tolkien said elves are immortal. |

where the f did you get those numbers from?
| @PoisonedSandwich PoisonedSandwich said: where the f did you get those numbers from? source: trust me bro. how long they lives depends which frenchise it is.. in Lord of the Rings elves are 8000 years old and still look like humans in their 40s. in other medias they can live 3000-4000 years... in others only 300-400 years. |

| Definitely more than 9k-10k or even more though not immortal as we've seen. |
 |
| Why the hell base their lifespan on the elves from other works? There is no point of reference. The only commonality is that they tend to live longer than humans. Tolkien's elves, which are loosely based on the Norse light elves, are literally immortal, their spirit still remaining and their body being able to be restored by the Valar. Warhammer's or Warcraft's elves live thousands of years. The Witcher's elves live hundreds of years. Dragon Age's elves were immortal and now live hundreds of years at best, tainted by humans. The lifespan of Sousou no Frieren's elves has never been revealed, but it's at least a few thousands of years from what we know. Case closed. |
| everybody is saying that elves have a limited time span. I disagree. I'm speculating while respecting the infos we got in the manga. Elves are probably immortal. Ppl who read the manga know roughly how big/small the timescale of the frieren universe is. And we know of one single elf who lived through all of that (not 100% sure but it is super likely). For the anime onlys: You know that kraft is old. Just bc of the way how he talked and what he said to frieren. Now, does he look old? No. So he didn't age. He looks physically more mature that frieren but who knows how long elves need to grow up? He is one example. So no, I don't think they can die by natural causes. |

| They can live forever but they can die if they are killed. *insert shirou.jpg* |
喜べ少年 君の願いはようやく叶う。 YOROKOBE SHOUNEN, KIMI no NEGAI wa youyaku KANAU. Rejoice, your wish will be finally granted. "THE RATE UP IS A LIE!" |
| They are almost extinct so definitely not immortal, otherwise there'd be an overpopulation of elves even if they would barely reproduce every 1 billion years or so |
