Trying to figure out what Frieren said to Aura when she cut her head off.

romanized it sounds like "Jigaisha" which turns up nothing.

KYS in japanese (google translate) turns up Jisatsu suru which is definitely not what she said.

What did she say? I've done everything I can to figure it out.

Maybe a dumb weeb post but I wanna knoooooowww

It really sounds like jigaisha as you said.

The jigai part is this word: 自害, which means suicide. The sha added to the word jigai must be a grammatical function or something.

Sorry, I'm just a beginner in Japanese.

ETA: I've relistened more carefully, the guy above nailed it. It's jigaishiro (自害しろ).

To accurately express it in Japanese, it's not "jisatsu shiro" but rather "jigai shiro". The term "shiro" indicates the imperative form. Both can be translated as suicide, but while "jisatsu" refers to the act in its direct sense, "jigai" contains a nuance of a death filled with regret. This term was predominantly used during the samurai era and is seldom employed in contemporary language.

Essentially, Frieren isn’t merely commanding "die", but rather instructing "end your life with regret for your actions". By delivering these words coldly, without so much as glancing at Aura's face, Frieren conveys a mix of contempt, sorrow, and anger. Therefore, the deliberate choice of "jigai" over "jisatsu" lends significant depth to her statement.

Very interesting, thank you.

The same word with the same Kanji exists in Korean (자해; "ja-hae"), which in modern context usually means "self-harm." But according to the dictionary it could also mean "self-killing". I've never seen the word used that way in modern-day, but I have seen the second character often used in historical/fantasy settings to mean "to take a person's life" ("hae-hada"), so it's probably used in a similar context.

Pretty sure 自害 is about suicide by self injuring as a mean to die from heavy lost of blood

it's jigai Shiro, jigai is a japanese method of female suicide(cutting jugular with knife), and Shiro Is the verb "to do" in its imperative(command) form. so basically it's a command to do this method of suicide.

After re-watching, I hear "jigai shiro"

You guys are fucking awesome, I cannot express my thanks through text but you've made an awesome moment in an anime an even AWESOMER moment, (that's not a word).

Thank you all so much my guys. I would invite all of you to a barbeque and cook you the nicest of steaks.
