[@sweetdumpling8798]

Lots of ppl also think the 1 elf is Serie but she is clearly way older than Frieren so she probably has more mana making the elf that beat Frieren being Series as void.

I am surprised most reactors are not making a big deal about the revelation that Freiren is now confirmed as the last great mage because she has the holy emblem necklace.

[@corazondepapel9346]

​Isn't Frieren confirmed to be a great mage for being a (mage) member of the party that defeated the Demon King anyways?

[@FlashlegendSC]

@@corazondepapel9346 What in this episode suggests that? He only calls her a great mage after her possessing a holy emblem is mentioned, so i assume it's because of that.

[@TheWipeKnight]

My favourite part of the episode is at 13:00 when they said they can't dispell the binding because it's too strong. But Denken (edited: mixed up my names) says just cut down the tree. It's a throwback to episode 8 where frieren lectures the demon on not having battle experience thinking that breaking the wire was the only way out. So subtle. It's all about thinking outside the box and leads into the continued theme of visual imagination for the rest of this season.

[@工用-y4k]

It was Denken that said cut the tree. Quite obvious. This is a further reinforcement of the point that he is not bound by the rules and conventional wisdom and will do whatever it takes - "continue his ugly struggle until the very end" (not translated properly).

[@boboyo3140]

denken said to cut down the tree. richter's bum ass was ready to give up.

[@rf7182]

Yeah, rather than breaking the unbreakable wire, she just cut demon arm who hold the wire. Unlike some aniem who screaming and break the unbreakable wire

[@fifthtouch]

Unless youre in the hero party where you just break the unbreakable barrier

[@rizurper]

Also Stark wanted to destroy a chair where Graf was tied, because Stark couldn't cut the mana-infused rope.

[@cocobelle25]

was not expecting a deep voice to come out of Serie but really liked that added touch cause it just made her seem as grand (and old lol) as everyone was making her out to be (8:48) had to replay that scene on my watch cause I did NOT think she acc kicked this man😂. elder on elder crime loll

Frieren said she's lost 11 times. Once to an elf, four times to demons, and the other six to humans, iirc.

[@ComradeArthur]

11 times to people with less mana. No mention of battles against equal or superior mana.

[@quigonkenny]

[@gershwinabsolom]

I love how you appreciate the quality of the writing

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@pbgamer25]

The thing about Serie is that, she COULD defeat the Demon King, but like they're always saying, magic is about imagination. You have to be able to IMAGINE something to do it. Serie likes the smoke, she ENJOYS some action, that's why she could have defeated the Demon King, but that still wouldn't be able to bring peace to the world (she can't imagine an era of peace). Frieren is not as powerful as Serie, but she has the potential to.

[@sauyiro5429]

Serie could or Flamme could have defeated him but didn't because they born during the wars while Frieren was.on her peaceful forest... if they aren't more war, Serie will be bored, that's why she show up 50 yrs ago, she is bored and there's nothing to do because the new peaceful mages aren't as good as the old war mages

[@johnspartan12]

Bro, sure I'll give you the second part as a nice theory, but saying that Serie COULD defeat the demon king is baseless speculation.

[@occultteachings6261]

@@johnspartan12 I mean, i can't see anything that Frieren did that Serie couldn't🤣 although i'll admit, Frieren didn't defeat the Demon Lord alone, but sometimes people simply put Frieren in a pedestal like she is the goddess herself lol

[@TheRoleplayer40k]

I'm not entirely sure if she could...we'd have to learn the Demon Kings actual abilities first. He could have some sort of special power where those with hatred or angry or a desire to fight in their hearts can't hurt me him or he turns them back on themselves or something. Making it literally impossible for someone like Serie to fight him (or other demons). IDK anything, just riffing. But that would explain why someone totally devoid of negative emotions like Himmel could take him down

[@工用-y4k]

Frieren doesn't care about either the First Class mage or the Privilege because the main benefit they entailed, she was offered with it and rejected it 1000 years ago already. By the way she gave a meaningful look (which most people missed) when she heard the name Serie in the last episode. Actually someone on the internet pointed out that if you go frame-by-frame, exactly when Frieren started her magic to break the barrier, there is one split second where a black-and-white smirking silhouette of Serie appears.

[@darkangel8192]

One thing I do like about this series is that the magic system gets really fleshed out in a way that makes sense. It gives all these younger mages a reasonable explanation for using all these big flashy physical based attacks aside from "it looks cool", but also highlights how scary Fern and Frieren are because they're beating these guys while only using basic offensive and basic defensive magic. Also, the fact that Frieren was doing all this shit while analyzing the barrier is kinda nuts. Old man Denken was fighting for his life out there and Frieren was just casually blocking all his attacks while solving a math problem in the back of her head.

[@nemasisdemarini8339]

Wrong. Frieren was solving a complex math problem, whilst fighting in the back of her mind.

[@MxMoondoggie]

The memes coming out of that scene where Frieren kicks Denken and stands on him are really funny. Lots of fanart of Frieren in leather with a whip lol, she became a dommy mommy.

[@MixJamz]

I love the concept of " you must be able to envision the result, to get the magic to do what you want " other shows do it too, but its beyond that, the reason Flamme and the other Elf can't beat the demon lord, is because they can't envision on age of peace and tranquility, all they know is war, and because they can't envision the end result they can surpass the obstacle that is the demon lord, but Frieren a mage of peace, can see herself wandering the world in a peaceful time gathering up magic, at least that's how I understood it

[@sc_wataru]

She lost 11 times to mages who have less mana than her. 4 demons, 1 elf, and 6 humans. Serie is not one of them because she has more mana than Frieren.

[@ironcrossproduction9280]

We only have seen 3 elves so far in the anime Frieren, Kraft, and Serie so anyone would automatically assume that Serie is the elf who beat Frieren but will eventually be debunked knowing that Frieren specifically said to be lost to 11 individuals who have less mana than her so Serie is not that elf it was someone else.

[@Silvern7552]

She has probably even lost more than 11 times tbh, I'd guess there are plenty who have more magic than her.

So, the defensive spell has high magic resist and ok physical defense, and trying to ramp up the defense (while maintaining the resistance) would over engineer the spell. So, in theory, there could be a defensive spell that has high physical defense and ok magic resist to counter warriors like Stark, but we just haven't seen a human mage fight a warrior, so we don't really know until the anime reveals

[@geekley]

Isn't the ending different on this episode? Also, I'm thinking this more complex barrier thing is some sort of foreshadowing. Given that Fern is able to cast spells so overwhelmingly fast, it could be the case that she's able to use that form fast enough (and even if not, a stronger barrier that takes time to build could still be useful in battle on certain situations).

[@FlashlegendSC]

Frieren said she's lost 11 times. 3 demons, 1 elf, 7 humans. (To mages with less mana than her)

[@metalsteel5631]

[@SilvyReacts]

Sort of a side thought here... honestly, losing 11 times to mages with less mana isn't even that many considering how long she has lived and how many battles she has likely been in. Plus, she counts having to seal Qual as a loss, which means her criteria of what is considered a loss is pretty loose. Sealing your opponent seems like a win to me. I wouldn't even be surprised if she considers her fight with Basalt a loss given it certainly wouldn't feel like a win even if she did kill him.

[@returntosoilgumiho]

Not to mention the fact that these fights could have happened at any point into her growth like say 2 years into her training with Flamme and her being one to take time for granted she could have possibly rematched these mages after a few more years of growth and won but she probably forgot or didn't care to meaning that we don't know that the loss was absolute and that she couldn't have had a rematch after figuring some stuff out.... another thing being that she grows stronger with time and time has been passing

[@thumpg]

I just realized that all the characters mention how Fern and Frieren only ever use basic combat spells. They learned those basic spells by studying the demon the hero's party sealed 80 something years ago. To the humans these spells are old and common, but to Frieren they are brand new spells that she learned from her time with Himmel and she mostly only uses the basic stuff.

@@dragonslikebananas5486 warrios don't need to have advantages over mages to be useful. for instance stark was pretty useful against the dragon because solar dragons are resistant to magic so he had a much easier time against it than frieren would have. also he's the tank of the group, he's in charge of the vanguard and he's the most useful to anything physically demanding. but in straight up fights against mages, he's the one who would be in a disadvantage (for once, mages can fly..).

[@grainnmertens]

denken be reminding me of the bandits in skyrim. "Oh you were the hero who saved our world? aigh imma make this quick." bro what lol. I dont blame him though, being a part of an imperial mage must mean he strong af, meaning he has confidence in winning. But still though lol, at least be a bit more careful.

[@sweetdumpling8798]

He was being careful. He knows she has more mana, just not the incredible amount she has. Denken was losing the ordinary offensive spell/zoltrak fight in the air and had to put more defense shields up, so he decided to try and drain Frieren’s mana but was shocked after his physical fire tornado didn't work, and Frieren appeared with a full-cover defense magic. Since the full cover can drain someone's mana in seconds, as stated to and experienced by Fern when she was training with Frieren. The Fire Tornado forces people to use full cover defense magic and lasts a whole minute and would have destroyed any normal mage, which was Denken’s plan when he said, “I’m going to settle this quickly.”, but Frieren has so much mana it didn't affect her. Then he tried again to force a full cover by using spears of light exploding on impact, which he thought would keep her from countering and finally drain all her mana. Still, she countered him with a zoltrak from somewhere surprising him and making him lose focus then rushed him, causing him to put up a defense and depleting all his mana.

[@adamwu4565]

“Making it quick” is really his only tactical option. He can’t tell exactly how much mana Friedan has because she is hiding it, but he knows she has more than him, meaning that he will run out of mana first in a long fight. So his only chance is to try to win quickly by overwhelming her defence with an all out attack. If it fails he’s out of mana and he loses, but if he doesn’t try that he loses anyways.

[@adamwu4565]

He also hit her with enveloping attacks that strike in all directions, forcing her to erect a full omnidirectional shield, which we know from earlier is the most mana draining form of defence. So Denken really hit Frieren in the most optimal way possible for someone who doesn’t know her intimately well enough to know about any specific weaknesses (if she has any). She was just that much stronger and better that even when he played all his cards in the best possible way, he couldn’t win.

[@kevingibson393]

I like Denken a lot but you must realize that Frieren defeated him while still analyzing the barrier. She wasn’t even fully concentrating on him.

[@pickthestickup]

Frieren lost 11 times to mages with LESS mana than her. 1 was an elf, 4 were demons, and 6 were humans. She was saying a talented mage with less mana can overcome a stronger one.

[@Scyon13]

Serie doesn't like her personality, she's petty af that's why she couldn't beat the demon King,😂😂😂 it seems to me as though frieren doesn't care there's no point in arguing with her

[@mr.bee5225]

i think series is more childish than frieren, like i wonder if the older they the more immature/childish they get? lol .. like she even let methode pat her head and hugs her like a child... like, what super master mage let that... she also seems like a tsundere...

[@quegs]

I just picked this up rewatching: Serie “couldn’t imagine” a peaceful world, so she couldn’t defeat the Demon King (according to Flamme) - because magic is the world of imagination.

[@mr.bee5225]

well, if she love war and conflicts , why would she kill demon king in the 1st place. like, she has all the time to do it, and not even once went and do it.. there is basically no benefit for her to kill demon king...

denken? u sure that wasn’t Mash?

Lmao

[@ShiroKage009]

The two men howling at the fist fight whole the girl is completely uninterested. Typical 😅😂

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Lmaoo. Ironically she is the Muy Thai/jujutsu fighter. Her lack of an hype does not equate to a lack of interest lol

[@ShiroKage009]

@@YaBoyRockLee Maybe she's mad at the crude technique 😉

It was a good episode, but I hated that Dr. Girlfriend voice shit that was going on.

[@markbui543]

Killua want at word for that insult, lol.

[@boboyo3140]

lol dr girlfriend is insane. Serie's voice ain't that deep. some of y'all just be bitching about anything.

Best writing? I like Frieren, but am I the only one recognising the flaws?! Seriously, we've seen Frieren collect spell ever since episode 1. Receiving parchments as quest rewards, or books, stealing spell books from dragon nests or chests. And NOW she declines it and says she doesn't want to simply receive a spell, that the whole point of magic is discovering it? Yo, is this the same person writing this stuff?! Did the author get hit on the head and has amnesia? IS NO ONE ELSE SEEING THIS $H*T?! I feel like I'm in a crazy world!

[@YaBoyRockLee]

You’re welcomed to think that way

[@工用-y4k]

She doesn't want a gimmie. She wants to earn it. It's like not wanting to just crack an RPG game and go straight to the ending scene. Hard for someone like you to tell apparently.

[@ZolDubs]

i think that you missunderstood the message. The point Frieren was trying to make is that "if i could just ask for any spell in the world then where is the fun?" She is actively doing tasks that end up with her getting a new spell. She did not decline a spell, she decline the idea of just getting what she asks for just because. give me 1 example in which she got a spell just because she asked? In every situation she helped somebody, did some chores, fight something, etc.

[@工用-y4k]

@@ZolDubs yeah she wants to earn it not a gimme

[@davidashton3671]

Every single spell Frieren has is something shs earned after doing quests or beating monsters. That's the point, she wants to earn the spell she gets and not just be given it for free.
