whats even FUNNIER is that "Nah I'd win" is an edited version of the manga panel.

[@TheDefectiveAI]

For Denken, he knows when he’s outclassed, but he also understands that he’ll never truly know the gap without giving it a try and finding out. So in a situation where both combatants are adamant about not killing one another, why not test your mettle against someone better.

[@drakainen4555]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he knew he didn't stand a chance against her and just wanted to see how he measured up vs a legendary mage.

[@TheRoleplayer40k]

Denkens technique would normally be super effective The fire storm requires a full mana barrier for a long period of time to not die to, and Frieren said earlier full barriers use HUGE amounts of mana, so any normal mage would exhaust their mana IOT to survive it if they could, then the light spears spell would shred them Its just that Freiren has a) an unnatural amount of mana to all upon b) has that mana supressed so you can't judge it during the fight

[@snipper1226]

Denken said "I CAST FIST!"

[@Ktb_Contract0r]

[@alexakuto]

he's run out of mana, but he's not run out of options

[@slickbossman7243]

Denken said "I may be out of mana but not out of options".

[@djx7134]

Denken's fire tornado was pretty smart. Wind to make it hard to fly, fire to force her to hold a full barrier for like 30 seconds which is insanely mana-hungry. Pretty much anyone but Frieren or maybe a handful of others would've been OOM after that. His numbers just weren't high enough. Also, he gave those demoralized guys a fair fight. Could've ambushed them instead.

[@cy-taku3952]

Great explanation man

[@kennethnielsen935]

That last part real

[@y1k3ss]

It actually reminds me of when Aladdin (Magi) used the same spell during his evaluation exam. I think Frieren's mangaka took inspiration from that since Magi is one of the OG Magic Manga/Anime.

[@2019m-z8i]

I think Himmel was so legendary his reputation kinda eclipsed the other members of the party. Most people probably think he carried his whole team hahaha

[@marcobering3945]

And they would be right, in most isekai out there.

[@jankyyard5610]

Fririen is the midlane support with best KDA, Eisen is Courage the Cowardly ElfTank, Heiter is the wholesome version of Redo Healer, and Himmel is definitely HIM.

[@powlix7866]

It's more of the fact that almost 80 years has past since the demon king was defeated and only a few humans are alive from that time. You might know her name but you never saw how powerfull she was and a good example is for example zoltrak which was regarded as a powerfull spell while the demon king was alive and 80 years later it's classified as ordinary magic. So they either don't recognize her because of their age or underestimate her because of the development of magic without regarding that she as well is growing stronger over time and developing with the advancements of magic.

[@melanch0lycat5393]

Someone put it into perspective for me. The first moon landing was like, nearly 60 years ago, and I bet the vast majority of people can't even remember or know anyone else on the mission other than Neil Armstrong. Now in this one it was even longer, 80 years since the party of heroes. Considering how the majority of statues are all Himmel, it's understandable that barely anyone can even recognize Frieren.

[@TheSodiumazide]

@@melanch0lycat5393 Exactly. Some older people will remember Buzz Aldrin but no one but a real student of history or someone who lived through it would remember Micheal Collins.

[@Zuldx]

Gramps went from throwing spells to throwing hands, he was so real for that

[@BlackFighterz]

Denken: These hands don't cost any mana

[@ChrisMorray]

The names in this show amuse me. They're all German. Denken means "to think". And that old big-brain thinker just figured out the best way to get what he wants is by throwing hands. And it worked, so really he's still smart. Now for the rest: Frieren means freeze, Fern means far away, Stark means strong, Sein means "to be", Himmel means heaven, Laufen (girl from Denken's party) means walking (probably a reference to her long-distance teleportation magic), Richter means aimer but probably refers to the German scientist who invented the scale with which we measure earthquakes.

[@bbittercoffee]

Laufen's magic ain't teleporting, it's super speed

[@wippyfr]

Some corrections: Laufen -> Running Richter->Judge (also the guy was American with German heritage)

[@hawkeye137137]

My favourite among these is Himmel since saying "we are journeying to see the Heaven" and "Himmel" is the same thing.

[@ChrisMorray]

@@hawkeye137137 Mine was Lugner, the demon guy who controlled blood. His name means liar, referencing how the demons speak human languages to deceive humans, but also in his dying moments the one thing he hates about Fern and Frieren: Hiding their mana, "lying" to those who can perceive it.

[@lesleepdeprived7230]

@hawkeye137137 Himmel can also means Sky Fun fact before evertime frieren said they were going to heaven the camara points to the sky

[@OverJoyeDementia]

Denken said "Call an ambulance! But not for me 😈"

[@mendiganina6001]

Fun fact: when Frieren is casting the spell that breaks the shield, there's an impact frame in which everything turns white, except for the silhouette of an elf, but curiously enough, the elf shown is Serie instead Frieren.

[@alexthai5223]

To add to that also has a green impact border with a white outline that shows younger frieren, that literally is like milliseconds after the serie frame, meaning unless you slow it down completely, you would miss both of them

[@CeliriaRose]

Honestly it’s reasonable for Denken’s group to go after other teams to get a stille. Catching one yourself is almost completely based on luck. As was mentioned previously the round of the exam is pretty much a battle disguised as a challenge. It’s expected that some teams would luck out and catch a stille and the other teams would then fight to get them.

[@andrewsuryali8540]

The funny thing is that technically Laufen is the only person in the entire exam who could catch up to a Stille. Their luck is just so bad they never even encountered one.

[@cemong9516]

Bro said fuck magic let's throw these hands boy 😂💀

[@beige_projection]

I thought it was interesting how two times in this episode, they emphasized that spells are a product of imagination, and if you can't imagine it, you can't cast it, and Flamme told Serie that she and her can't defeat the Demon King because they can't imagine a world without conflict.

[@Anon-qp3kt]

It’s why Flamme’s favourite spell from Serie was the field of flowers. It’s the one spell she knew she couldn’t create on her own

[@martar.2085]

that spell was from Flamme's parents, @@Anon-qp3kt She said so in episode 10.

​@@juanthegreat3954 Soul Track sounds like a very intimidating name for a spell though. Although Zoltraak is definitely more threatening. Still, kind of like The Throngler.

I was so proud of denken after they got beaten by frieren, like dude did not give up, and stayed pretty focused on the objective, AND got it (I mean for sure.) I really like his character, I didn’t think I would, but I do, he’s very smart and quite nice overall

[@Doodlesthegreat]

"She only used ordinary magic." Yeah, and the battleship _Missouri_ just used guns.

[@Lumiere20]

Stark acting like a husband who's wife is gone for a business trip lmao

[@DarwinAwardWinner]

The crazy thing about Frieren breaking the barrier is that she basically just did it for fun. She was like "I wanted to see Kanne's magic pop off so I gave her some water." She didn't need to do it to win the test (she could have just stomped Richter herself before he could blink). She wasn't trying to send Serie a message, even if Serie seemed to think so. Frieren's view of magic as being about the journey, not the destination, means that Serie, who is all destination and no journey when it comes to magic, is 100% irrelevant to Frieren. She may as well not exist. Which is why Frieren is the only mage who could even imagine breaking Serie's barrier, and because magic can only do things you can imagine, Frieren is the only one who could break it for real. Not just because she's smart and powerful, but because her worldview is fundamentally disconnected from Serie's.

[@lycorecokawaiii]

So far, Frieren's fighting is really just like a fight against a kid. No one gives her that much challenge

Denken uses Magic Punch. Magic Punch does not use mana, and that's what makes it magical.

[@Salence]

Even before, Frieren said that she lost to 11 people with less mana than her. While it is unlikely, there is still a small chance Denken COULD have won his duel with Frieren. And Denken is definitely a skilled warrior.

[@jflame9268]

You guys gotta remeber that Frieren always emits small amount of mana so they naturally think she is average or not a threat depending on the ammount she emits . If she had all her mana released from the start they would naturally think they don't stand a chance against her then . Anyway great video 🔥💯

I like Denken's whole group honestly. I find it heart warming that Laufen knew that Denken wasnt going to be killed but Frieren would've hurt him anyways and thats why she went there to be caught so that he'd stop getting hurt. And I like Richter's whole demeanor. He's confident in his abilities and so he comes off as arrogant but even so I like the guy anyway.
