[@AJ-kt5zo]

Wish they react 2 Castle 🏰🏯 🏯🏰 Noctrine recent epic 😎 trailer.

[@bobbenson6825]

The character development in this arc is something else. You will love all these folks by the time this part is over.

[@th3grav3mak3rgaming8]

I’m excited for y’all to see the end of both the 1st and 2nd tests. They are really hype.

[@weirddeck4193]

My GOAT Denken has arrived

[@howwlll]

The goat. Doesn't even need magic

[@Sabor180]

"I cast, these hands!"

[@CorporalCookie]

Out of mana, but not out of hands.

[@ChaosMind10531]

Literally the mage who casts fists...

[@Reecef266]

Navi and Suraj have begun morphing into the same person

[@AJ-kt5zo]

😊😭😭😊😂🤣🤎♥️

[@xRakanishu]

Its funny watching how mellowed out Suraj is now compared to their early videos where he's a cocaine-infused demon 😂

[@Chiyo-r6d]

I love how when Frieren pulled them down she turned around but left the other two facing the lake so they got splashed.

[@Mintteacup_]

damn, kraft was forgotten

[@Merilirem]

I mean he IS the forgotten hero.

[@Shroom_Guy]

Lore-accurate.

[@paroxymal7688]

Thay girl definitely not interested to watch , just look at her 😂

[@umangdeeprai]

Accurate to Kraft Lore

[@jacobd1984]

I would watch the spinoff for each and every one of these new mages if there were one.

[@Serevuin]

Some amazing characters appear in this arc. Hope that you guys enjoy it!

[@firsealtonberry9712]

I always imagined that they looked at Frieren, and they went "we need to balance this mage somehow. Hey, let's put her with these two that keep attacking each other." Granted, not really addressed, but that's always how I figured Frieren ended up with Kanne and Lawine. The 2000 mages mentioned are the total in the Mage Association, but mages are a lot less common overall.

[@MadMadNomad]

As for the relative shortage of mages in modern times, yeah, in reference to stuff she mentioned when fighting Qual a few episodes back, a lot of mages died fighting the Demons, and given the high casualty rates, maybe its a bit harder to recruit 'em these days. She mentions it when Heiter was trying to get her to train Fern, too. She doesn't want to be responsible for getting her killed.

[@wasabichips933]

6:34 As technology progresses, there becomes less of a need for magic because you're able to do the same thing that magic accomplishes without needing to go through years of training. It's sort of like how many household skills like baking and weaving have been lost over the generations because of how convenient things have gotten. At least that's how I interpret it.

[@blazedj]

Specifically, these two new characters are like counterparts or inverses to Fern and Stark. Lawine is similar in character design, but she wears cuter or more outstanding clothes, and she's more aggressive and assertive. The other is more confident in herself than Stark, she's female, she's a mage, and she doesn't seem to be as timid or afraid to antagonize Lawine. Also, unlike Stark and Fern, these two aren't so awkward that they won't speak their minds, leaving Frieren to need someone like Sein to act as a mediator. Basically, they're more of a headache, but at least, Frieren can easily understand the cause of the issues they may be having.

[@markvicferrer]

Not a spoiler, but you're gonna see Ubel fight. Remember to think back to these bandits & what would have happened if Kraft didn't come by. 😨

[@zkeletonz001]

I'm sure in the past there was more of a need for mages because there was more conflict with demons. Now that demons are becoming more active again the number of mages might start to climb as well to combat them.

[@jonathanrobinson198]

There she is the red flag everyone wants.

[@allmightylowercasejay1138]

Finally we're here!

[@TheRedPandaWhalther]

WE'RE HERE!!!!

[@Credemis]

0:17 oh damn, a Blink reference

[@vitornadai2140]

there was an entire scene and dualogue of they showing frieren is not certified, latere Rana ask "isnt frieren a first class?", bro... how...

[@Leiceku]

so excited for this arc!!

[@minuette1752]

Yay Ubel takes the stage.

[@Merilirem]

The Sorcerer among wizards.

[@darknessunknown4384]

​@@MeriliremYes, she's definitely a cut above the rest.

[@Reecef266]

The Japanese VA was very jarring going from a dub watcher. (I'm not starting a war, I was just expecting the low-sinister voice vibe.)

[@darknessunknown4384]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ubel reminds a lot of Lust (from Fullmetal Alchemist). And you should definitely listen to how Ubel sounds in the dub; her voice actress did a great job giving her a seductive, yet unsettling voice.

[@nathankeel6667]

@darknessunknown4384 her dub voice is great but like friren it's very different then the sub but is still 100% fitting

[@01hazerd]

The myth, the legend, the last great mage, Frieren, the slayer...... has entered the chat.

[@Credemis]

1:40 great movie btw

[@AlbionOfAvalon55]

lol enclose area let that sink in....

[@BmoBleep]

this is it

[@JustNotEverybody_]

Normies don't know about the internet or anime websites.... or how to search for things. Interesting ;)

[@darknessunknown4384]

10:48-10:52 You don't say.😏

[@GiftsonArdiansyah]

hypee

[@pcbangbros8350]

the delulu over frierens dub voice is wild. Sounds way better dubbed.

[@jonathanrobinson198]

A Dub vs Sub argument for Frieren is so odd to me cause I really think it comes down to one being in a language with inflections and tones you’re not familiar with so it is perceived as more mono and deadpan than it actually is. Causing the language you do understand to sound “off” when the characterization is actually pretty accurate.

[@xXthevenomousXx]

There's also the fact that they're already used to the Japanese voice, so of course it sounds weird when a different voice comes out of Frieren's mouth. Subs vs dubs these days just comes down to whichever one you watch first is gonna seem "better" to you.

[@thehousealwayswins8398]

Yep, sub vs dub debates are basically one long, meandering rambling about something as simple as personal preference.

[@SttudDioPierrot]

Frieren acquired 2 Platonic Lesbians 🐐🐐🐐

[@ecksearoh6283]

And they were roommates.

[@BigFatSammich]

@@ecksearoh6283 oh my god they were roommates.

[@leeshawnklb]

Idgaf if Ubel is crazy she can still absolutely get it😤

[@MichaelaEvans]

When are the Dub vs Sub: Frieren videos coming out? 👀Please tell me you did Stark too cause who I really wanted you guys to experience his dub voice actor 😌

[@wadepsilon01]

(≡ω≡)

[@juanthegreat3954]

I want Ubel to fix me

[@milesprower6110]

Huh, funny how Frieren being one of the small exceptions for others to react at in dub, doesn't get to pass this time... wwwww
