Frieren 1x12 A Real Hero - GROUP REACTION!!!

[@geebeepman]

himmel basically beat the final boss with a bootleg sword

That moment with the brother telling Stark to run always gets me, he was so tiny and defenseless and despite being scared he was 100% staying. Loved the reaction guys, keep it up!

[@ReactCity]

thank you! and yeah starks scene tugged on our heart strings

[@jaesaces]

I think the reason Stark never remembered that his brother told him to run is because it didn't fit the narrative he had about himself. He felt guilty about fleeing his village, thus he internalized a self view of being a coward. As a result he remembers fleeing most vividly. It's only after he realizes that those around him valued him that he is able to confront that negative self view and remember his brother's sacrifice for him.

I cried so much this episode! Both the first time and I think the next 5 times I watched it. Frieren's storytelling is so masterfully done. No need to hide the emotions!

[@blaqueup]

Kind of a fun factoid since you mention how Frieren had the Anya-face is that Frieren and Anya have the same VA. Dunno how much that impacted the choice of that smirk but it is funny to see.

[@ReactCity]

i forgot about that , that is funny

It could also be a sign that another, even greater calamity will come and the sword will be needed even more then.

With these we now know the "real" heroes party. A "Fake" Hero A "Corrupt" Priest A "Cowardly" Warrior A "Disgraceful" Mage.

[@ReactCity]

sounds like a proper DnD party lol

[@justacrusaderguy3320]

This episode genuinely made me shed a tear.

[@kevingibson393]

In the manga there is an omake where they show all the failures Frieren had making the giant hamburger steaks. At the end of the omake she presents them to Stark as a meat ‘cake’ for him to eat.

[@ReactCity]

you know i was actually surprised she pulled it off on her first try. i was expecting it to be bad lol

[@JapananimemangaInterviewtransl]

Thank you for the beautiful tears.❤

[@eskamick]

Stark flashed to his brother when he looked at the sword. His brother is a hero who should have tried. He doesn't see himself as a hero and wouldn't even think to try.

[@aleistercrowley1813]

"Are you the God of hammers?" Thor moment for Himmel. The sword doesn't make you a hero.

[@wasurah]

It much more meaningful that it was a fake sword. If stark pulling sword it would have ruined that. I don’t know why people just want him to pull the sword that much

[@Lamppostout]

Thanks!

[@ReactCity]

oh wow we didn't get a notification about the superchat. thank you very much!

[@Erwinjvc]
