>>3806216A friend was just skimming through the old trailers again and noticed that anons were right. Fren will appear again. I assume that they use him to explain how Despa knew about Miranjo and her demon. Fren probably learned about their connection during his quest of searching for a demon head.
This is also the perfect explanation for why Captain became the new leader and not Fren. Ouken was in the dungeon, Fren was gone searching for a way to heal him. If we are lucky and learn about when Fren has found out about the demon we might even get some references that could finally tell us how much time has passed since Ouken's imprisonment till now.
Also another thing and I can't believe I missed this the first time or forgot about it, but there is a scene from when Captain was running along the lake with Despa's stupid horse. Which can only be from the chapter when they were searching for Ouken's head, so we might get some original content that shows a bit of their journey that ends with what is essentially arc 2 (same with Bojji and Kage being in the hostel and looking out of the window, which should be from the first Kuhya chapter). The poster is also showing the carriage they used to travel there.
The only open question is why Fren didn't join the order again. I can only assume he was down for not finding the head himself and hearing about Ouken. Without his friend and leader he might have quit, assuming there was no hope left anymore. Wonder if we will ever see him again.
