“I don’t like any of these humans on this planet, imma wait 200 years till there’s a whole new set” Sheera killed me with that comment 😂

[@Shinius]

Reminds me of that DBZA line. Frieza: So for the 1st Century I'll go easy on them, lure them into a false sense of security. And then when they think I'm not so bad, BAM! I'll go full tyrant on them in the 2nd Century. After that I'll disappear for a millennium and make them wonder if I ever existed to begin with. Just to come back and kill them all.

[@Graylord12]

​@@Shiniusthis sounds so fucked😂😂

[@aziouss2863]

Serie is such a tsundere in a way. Refusing to admit how much she loved Flamme. Goes on a monologue about every detail of her life what she loved and how she achived her dreams. The message behind it i think is that she hates how short lived humans are and hated how Flamme was not going to live to see the results of her work.

[@Vxyagr]

Totally agree and then she tries to cover it up with her disdain for humans evolving faster than other long lived race because they accomplish more in shorter time

[@AthallaNaufal-yo2xt]

nah, she does that with every single one of her disciple, even tho she feels nothing about them, but she remembers

[@MajorLawliet]

​@@AthallaNaufal-yo2xtNo, she's literally just Frieren before Himmel's funeral. She didn't cry because emotions suddenly got created like the Big Bang in her. She always felt these things, yet remained completely disconnected and unknowing of what it meant. She's just never made the realization. The fact she goes out of her way to point out that "she doesn't know why she remembers so clearly" couldn't be way more obvious.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

It's the same thing as when Frieren says her journey with her party to kill the Demon King was " a mere 10 year adventure"

[@AndragonLea]

She didn't want to admit it. She's much older than Frieren, so she probably got used to pushing humans away because of their short lifespan. In her eyes it might not even be worth it to get emotionally attached if they're just going to die in what seems like no time. Those flashbacks tell me that Flamme managed to worm her way into her feelings regardless.

[@AggieCEO]

Serei: "Oh, she dead. I don't care" **proceeds to reminisce and think fondly of her while praising her**

[@01kanisnanrunn57]

Tsundere behavior smh.

[@jaesaces]

Even better, when Frieren asks if she's sad she doesn't answer, saying instead "I only trained her on a whim."

[@Ahwleung.]

Not only that, she ultimately fulfilled her last wish and heads the largest human magic organization on the continent, having taken many apprentices over the years.

[@Jhona3304]

Flamme got this 2 elves wrap around her fingers even after death 😂

Stop detecting mana when casting a spell, it's like closing your eyes every time you throw a punch in boxing

[@alessharu3634]

[@crackers5422]

Too bad she hits like Mike Tyson

[@quangtruongpham960]

But that delay is very short, she will immediately put up a defensive shield after you expose your mana for her to detect. Very few mages can take advantage of that weakness of hers.

[@dossmatt8809]

​@@crackers5422 LMAOOO

[@Shadowdrag00n]

I'd say it's more your radar temporarily switching off before you bring up a barrier, my eyes are still open i just lose my spacial awareness for a brief moment. But just cause there's a weakness there doesn't mean you'll be quick enough to exploit it, that like having a boss with an exposed core but you have a second to attack before it closes and attack/kills you. It's all down to timing.

[@Chanksss]

Episode Title: "A Fatal Vulnerability" My dumbass thought it was the Mimic💀

[@potatosalad4594]

It could have been!

[@barbaros99]

I honestly believe that the author expected everyone to jump straight to this and included the, "so, we should expect the clone to have the same behavior as Frieren" to make everyone think that's where it was going. Myself, my kid, and nearly every reactor I've watched thus far all thought that.

I love how at the start of their battle, Frieren and clone are exchanging their readings on each other by erecting barriers in different positions preemptively, like "Whop- Gotcha- Whop- Not there!"

[@cuzidodgebullets6797]

That was such a great little detail. Nobody talks about it but I thought it was great being able to see it.

[@IsaacFNghost]

This was a detail I picked up on as well!! And I LOVED it. So badass! 😅

[@XC11301991]

Serie literally went through the 5 stages of grief in that scene. Tsundere for her adoptive daughter Flamme.

[@bbittercoffee]

Serie keeps sayin "Flamme is just a stundent I taught on a whim" again and again I think this is just her way of coping with the loss of the actual best human pupil there could ever be, like, she's just trying to convince herself at this point

[@alessharu3634]

It's like Frieren's "it's a mere 10 years journey"

[@MrSpad300]

Finally, seeing Frieren use non ordinary offense magic after talking about her flashy spells was worth the wait

[@reignmans]

For me it wasn't subtle at all... it was clear as day that Serie truly cared, loved and appreciated Flamme... She wanted to reminisce about her while walking and talking with Frieren about her, she was visualizing all the way till the reached the edge, she knew and remembered her favorite spell, he dreams and her aspirations. When you dont give a ish about someone you don't retain so specific and detailed memories of the things they represented or the things they loved. We more or less had kind of the same reaction from Frieren towards her time with both Flamme and Himmel. Probably not knowing how to deal with communicating their feelings or something.

[@muhammadfadel3183]

Yeah basically serie just like frieren before himmel death (before every memories they make together came to hit her in the head). For me in serie case she is like old enough to feel numb about that anymore or just she doesnt have that realize moments (what i mean there is a time like you doesnt feel anything or have a time to sad when you lose someone, and its take sometimes to realize that they're really gone). I don't know what thats called but i hope its clear what i mean.

[@reignmans]

@@muhammadfadel3183 she is exactly like frieren. she pretended its something natural, she kept saying how humans die before you even know it, and finally she went and continued the dream of Flamme anyways. Just like Frieren keeps doing what Himmel would do. Man i love this show.

[@Narifamen]

It's crazy that Flamme was raised by the most knowledgable elf mage in the world, then trained the one who would become the most skilled. All while laying the foundation for magical research. I love magical lady Plato.

[@coniwiiuwu5578]

Is Frieren the most skilled mage tho?

[@pouiverfaim3073]

Nah it's serie​@@coniwiiuwu5578

[@andyserizawa]

@@coniwiiuwu5578 it could be , in manga u could see that the biggest ability that frieren has is to analyze all kind of magic she see and see could find a way to counter or even to use that spell

[@Narifamen]

@@coniwiiuwu5578 I think there's a decent case for it. She's the strongest in terms of raw magic that we've seen, although I wouldn't be surprised if Serie or a couple demons outmatched her there. She has a broad range of combat experience from her time with Himmel, and her expertise is hyper-niche spells like that stupidly powerful barrier and the bird capture magic. She can demonstrably be beaten and she's not a genius like Qual who revolutionizes the field, but I think her combination of raw power, experience, and esoteric techniques is one that few could match.

[@Jedmonds-9173]

@@Narifamen I know Serie would wash Frieren but I do kinda want to see a fight between those two. Would be interesting to see what they use against each other.

himmel is the only character in this anime that has the word HIM

[@Jedmonds-9173]

And to think he has all of that without being considered an "official" hero by the world. He really is him.

He's like the Gojo of his time. Demons did not rear their ugly heads until they were sure he was 6 feet under.

[@Jedmonds-9173]

@kevinganchero2104 To be fair it was shown at some point even as an old man (before the second meteor shower) he could take on monsters so I don't blame them tbh.

[@goatus536]

Frieren sure wasn’t using “ordinary offensive magic” when she fought herself. They both came out swinging with the S-tier spells on sight. 7:17

[@Ayakaa24]

Well she is not the mage of the current era, even when fighting Aura she use dispell magic.

[@CarNerd7]

Haha exactly it was exciting to see her use some high level spells finally

[@MrGiglemesh]

I'm pretty sure that Frieren's clone used Zoltraak when it was just the other mages who entered the room in the previous episode, but now it's using much more "advanced" magics when facing off against Frieren. Like that first lightening spell would have wiped half of the other mages right off the bat if they had participated in this fight. I mean it instantly AOEd the entire room. Then that fire spell literally vaporized that huge stone block. Even the "Zoltraak" the clone used the previous episode was almost an instant party wipe. So like Frieren said, Zoltraak is enough to defeat the mages of this era.

[@fjoergyn]

I love how serie raised flamme. It makes Serie more empathic, even for a elf. 3 Episodes left guys, lets hope that comes more :D The random guy reading this comment: you have a nice anime taste^^

[@magicfibre]

Those alternating scenes between the real and fake Frieren are some of the rawest scenes in any anime in the recent years. Especially the one where they just walk towards each other surrounded by black flames. I'm so glad I decided to watch this anime.

[@tamarlevy5949]

frieren and fern are some of the best female characters i've seen in anime in a WHILE.

[@joeltoomer3332]

The girl form apothecary diaries is also one of the best aswell

[@tamarlevy5949]

@KaiserReinhard no way you put hori and yosano here.... lmao

[@tamarlevy5949]

@KaiserReinhard yosano definitely has one of the best backstories in the show but it didn't magically make her an interesting/good character. i personally love her, but she doesn't apply to the discussion of outstanding female characters because she's not one. i'm not familiar with most characters on your list but i'm a big fan of bsd and dislike horimiya so at least i can confidently say both yosano and hori aren't well-written. with yosano it's definitely the writer's decision to start developing her character so late into the story that her amazing backstory didn't add much. she's a stagnant character and other characters in bsd suffer from that as well

[@tamarlevy5949]

@KaiserReinhard i still love yosano as well, and i will always hope the writer of bsd will utilize the female characters better ;;

[@raec5426]

Frieren and Maomao as great female MCs within the last year. 👌

[@MrNintendogeek01]

Frieren and Serie may have conflicting ideas on magic, but that scene shows that the two still relate in a way no humans can.

[@miguelrodriguezgonzalez6396]

It's interesting how in spite of her dialogue she cared for flamme, the faint expression in her face show the opposite of what she says a few times throughout the chapter

[@Syfa]

It's hard to notice because Seerie talks in a lower register, but she's also female. Flamme was essentially an adopted daughter to Seerie... and Frieren was an adopted daughter to Flamme... and Fern was and adopted daughter to Frieren. Their stories parallel each other pretty well, and Flamme really understood both her "mother" and her "daughter".

[@Syfa]

@@garyjay7259 When Serie shreds Flamme's will Roshi says "Damn, he said 'but I dont give a damn about this will'". I've seen the misunderstanding in a few other places too, because Serie in the show is never referred to with female pronouns, only by name. I wasn't necessarily trying to call anyone out, just noting that Serie is a woman for those who were uncertain or thought it was ambiguous.

[@GummyCalico]

Honestly I was pleasantly surprised by her low timbre. She has a damn nice voice. For some reason I was expecting a high pitched one when I saw her in the op. I was probably reminded of Aura. But this is wayyyy cooler

[@GregariousOp]

The way this episode is directed is fucking masterful. I have never been so fully engaged in a battle, so captivated by the characters and their chemistry and relationships, and so immersed in the world building and lore in an anime more so than Frieren. Edit: 9:55 glad to see y’all are enjoying that anime.

[@xAsianish]

I like how there's a lot of combat logic that you can tie to other games. In Terraria, usually the bosses will aim after one person whilst shooting long range projectiles towards them, which is somewhat predictable for the one being targeted, but not so predictable and easy to dodge if you're a bystander. Less is definitely more in this situation where their lives are actually on the line. And right off the bat, Frieren casted a long-ranged AOE lightning spell, really hammering the point in.

[@carlosheredia5601]

The plan was a sum of all they could exploit to catch Frieren. It was her mana detection stopping, the fact that zoltraak is new to her so her response is slow and the fact even detecting mana she has trouble sensing Fern. It was a pretty good plan not depending on just 1 thing 👌

[@sabercrusader]

Serie out here proving that elf copium is something else

[@andrewmahabir589]

I don't watch slice of life anime but frieren has become one of my top 5 anime and probably always will be. We don't need boom bam animation every single episode (although we have that here too). I'm just happy to watch these characters come to life. Frieren said flamme always seemed like she was in rush. Serie said that we all have points in our life where we have to make a crucial decision but elves they live so long they can push it as much as they want. Humans live so close to death (a mere century for most less) they can't afford to wait. How many beautiful moments can one show have?

8:28 holy shit, that is an amazing observation I hadn't thought of. Flamme and Himmel taught Frieren how to empathize

[@chols.2203]

Also when the battle of frieren vs clone frieren started, both were preemptively casting defensive magic which is a great touch of detail to how great of a mage she is.

[@joseram437]

That walking animation between Frieren and her copy was clean

[@beyondviolet]

this anime just doesn’t miss… istg it better win a bunch of awards

[@codewordbw3340]

I think yall are forgetting that the monster is the one controlling the replicas, not the examiners. The replicas replicate all of the mages' mana, abilities, and mannerisms, but the monster controlling them is giving the directions. The replicas arent gonna be pacifists and go easy because this is a test, cuz they dont care. Sense only said that she was a pacifist in the sense that she gave all the examinees bottles to get them out safely if they choose to use them. So when the monster in the dungeon's goal is to kill any people coming towards it and stay alive, the replicas are gonna have that goal, and while they might go about it in their own way based on the personality of the person they are mimicking, the goal is to kill

[@gjfwang]

Lol, thinking Serie had no empathy only to find out Serie's tsundere and raised Flamme with love since Flamme was a little girl. Note that Serie's basically fufilling Flamme's will right now as head of the magic continent association.

[@zeprot]

The way I saw Fern showing everyone Frieren's weakness is that: 1. Even if they know her weakness, Frieren would still win. 2. Frieren probably only has to deal with these people for the duration of the exam (which is like 5 minutes to her). 3. Why would she worry about a small group of strangers knowing her weakness if they're going be dead in less than a mere 100 years (likely a lot less than that for most of them).

[@noahwysocki1233]

Frieren got to see her her own total defeat at the hands of a mage who can surpass her, who she taught no less, and gets to live to tell the tale. No wonder she's smiling.

[@DarwinAwardWinner]

The cool thing is, even 1000 years ago Frieren wasn't like Serie. She rejected Serie's offer of a spell because it just wasn't important or relevant to her. And Frieren probably has Flamme to thank for that, honestly. Low key, Flamme the Human is the most immortal character in this story.

[@sammed473]

The thing is, Serie seems to feel threatened by humans. She's therefore trying to make Frieren cautious of them, wanting to protect her from them. But Frieren doesn't see humans as a threat to begin with. A human could kill her, but so could an elf, dwarf or a demon. Except humans, elves, and dwarves won't WANT to kill her for no reason. Frieren sees the humanity in people, while Serie only sees battlefields. Truly, Frieren was a mage born for an era of peace. The part about humans having short lives and should make decisions fast hits hard.

[@CeliriaRose]

I disagree slightly. I don't get the sense Serie was threatened by humans, moreso she's just very rational and pragmatic about it. She know how quick human's develop. She's seen through people like Flamme how humans will work their butts off to develop and create a foundation for those who come after to stand on. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that. Meanwhile Serie and Frieren don't really have that. They live for thousands of years but they lack the level of drive and determination that humanity has on top of natural benefits like what Frieren was talking about to Fern where for Fern zoltraak is this natural spell she's known all her life as a mage, something Frieren doesn't have. So it's less that Serie is intimidated by them and more she just recognizes how things are going to progress. She's basically running a marathon solo against an opponent who keeps passing the baton to better and better runners. It ties back to earlier in the series when Frieren broke the barrier "This is why I can't give up being a mage, because with magic even heaven and earth can be flipped upside down." Magic is the great equalizer in this world. It makes the impossible possible turning what was once fairy tales into reality, and Serie knows that no matter how powerful she is eventually someone will come along who will turn the tables on her. And if anything I think she relishes that fact. I think she looks forward to it. My theory is that is why she takes on apprentices like Flamme, in the hopes that she will eventually find the one who will surpass her.

[@onetom2222]

​@@CeliriaRose great mental image you've come up with. Kudos to you!

[@ismetheguyfrfr]

This might be on the majority of Frieren clone, but may also be more on Serie's vulnerability on this specific child she met that became a legendary human mage. Flamme is the reason why humans can do magic, and the more reason why Frieren roams around her years of centuries living in search of oddly, weird and strange spells over the years.

Any newbie in guns would instinctively flinch (AKA close their eyes for around milliseconds) when firing a gun, but veterans would get used to the noise of a gun so they seldomly flinch. As mentioned in the anime, Frieren's weakness in mana detection is usually common for newbies, but Frieren never fixed that weakness despite being an experienced mage herself.

Mana detection is an active spell.

@4:30 yea....without a mind/heart then what holds anyone back from killing anyone after then have been told to kill?

I was worried about the Sense replica, but I completely forgot about FERN. It’s scary because its practically undetectable like her.
