An Era of Humans | Frieren Ep 27 Reaction

[@AnonymouslyForgotten]

Never take Serie’s words at face value. She says the flower spell is useless while sitting in a room full of well maintained flowers. She says she disappointed in her student but she’s really disappointed that he won’t be around for much longer, thus never achieving a greater potential. If she never wanted another human student, she would never try to recruit fern who has potential. When talking negative about frieren’s master, she is also subtly reminiscing the life of her dead student with the only other person who knew her. She’s literally a tsundere of godly proportions. Honestly, she might even be more in tune with her emotions than frieren.

[@shashwattomar3311]

And she suppresses her own mana while criticizing Frieren...

[@MsFeco12]

She might be a tsundere but in this selection she relies on her intuition which according to Frieren is always right. She is not judging them based on their personalities.What she said to Kanne is 100% true. Being a first class mage is not always about power. Frieren strong in human years but in elf years she is not skilled enough cuz she doesnt care about power. Wonder what Kraft compares to her.

[@Bionickpunk]

She also detested the idea of teaching humans magic as Flamme wanted, and yet here she is holding a human magic organization.

[@anamelesscommenter9700]

to borrow a comment from a different video, while serie was dissing flamme and her dreams to frieren on their walk together, serie was reminiscing about flamme as a kid so hard that she held imaginary flamme's hand through the forest

[@mrminecraftcubeable]

@@shashwattomar3311 Serie has said that unless you have talent (like fern or flamme) learning to suppress mana at this level takes a lot of time, that's why serie doesn't like frieren, she's not as good as she could be for her age, because she spent centuries practicing this, her hidden mana does help her beat demons I don't think serie is a hypocrite because she is much older than frieren or talented enough to learn it quickly

There's nothing saying that Serie doesn't like Lernen, she actually praised him quite a bit. She's just disappointed that he is so great now and he could become even better, but he doesn't have the time since he's already old. Even if she seems harsh at first glance, if you pay attention she was gushing proudly over his achievements (seeing through Frieren and being able to take her on), she's just perpetually disappointed that humans don't last very long

[@nellk4373]

She literally says "dzannen" - "too bad". It's not disappointment

[@mrminecraftcubeable]

the reason she says shouldn't take human apprentices(but still does) is because as cold as serie seems she really does care for her students, she's just disappointed at how little humans live, she raised a human that could beat frieren and maybe the demon lord but he's gonna die relatively soon without getting the chance to use this power

[@Anon-qp3kt]

​@@vettu407 disagree. Serie is not better than Frieren at suppressing mana. Serie doesn't like Frieren because Frieren doesn't have the same ideals on magic. Ssrie wants mages that actively wants to make the impossible possible. Frieren just wants to live a quiet life and occasionally look for magic. Why Serie likes Fern is because Fern is the only one that was talented enough to see through Serie's mana instability and has the balls to say it to her face.

[@tonamiplayman4305]

So Frieren was the reason Himmel became a connoisseur of flowers in his adult life. Everything is coming full circle.

[@tuminhthien8074]

Serie doesn't hate Frieren just because she likes the magic that creates flower fields, it's actually because Frieren has no ambition. Serie once wanted to give magic to Frieren and accept her as a disciple because Frieren's talent and longevity would be able to reach unprecedented power. As a result, frieren refused, as flamme said "frieren is a magician of peacetime" and serie "can't imagine how to live without war".

[@cheychey13]

@@tuminhthien8074 I wouldn’t say it’s because of the ambition, because Frieren does have ambitions. It’s more like their ideals on life and magic clash with each other. In a way they both respect each other but they also know that they both won’t truly ever get along

Lernen the first first-class mage who can identify frieren's mana couldn't detect Serie's, something only Fern could. As is the nature of humans, they improve rapidly. Fern the young mage is more of a prodigy than Lernen or any other human we've met so far.

[@mrminecraftcubeable]

tbf to lernen fern grew up with an elven mage that's been suppressing her mana and teaching her how to do it

[@bbittercoffee]

Also, I think even if Lernen EVER saw any instability in Series' mana, he would think "no, I must've imagined it, there is no reason for her to supress her mana" or something along those lines I think he thinks too highly of Serie to even try to find instability in her mana Just like Denken couldn't detect the slight mana detection pause that Frieren has when she uses a spell, if you're not looking for it, the moment will pass you by without you even noticing

[@biazacha]

@@mrminecraftcubeableFern is a natural, even as a small kid Frieren had trouble looking for her cause her mana control is immaculate. You can train lots of things but this level of sensibility only comes with raw affinity.

@@biazacha she is a natural but she was suppresing her mana because heiter kneew frieren was doing the same, just like with the rock test

[@cthpng9437]

The thing that put things into perspective is the fact that Serie said Frieren is not even that skilled as a mage, I'm seriously thinking Fern will be stronger than Frieren by the end of the series by sheer difference in skill(cuz she cant possible catch up to her in raw power, mana or amount of spells)

[@AggieCEO]

@11:44 naaaaah....remember that Serie said Frieren is MID for her age. All because she spent most her time improving her conceal technique instead of studying new magic. Which is why the other magician said "Who would do that when you can study more magic??". It's also why she has that flaw that was exploited on her doppleganger. Sure not MANY people could exploit it, but something tells me that the First first class mage could

[@TacticalDimples]

Yup. Frieren is a magic nerd first and a battle mage second.

[@Birthday888]

It's less Frieren learning how conceal her mana (Because Flamme and Serie did the exact same thing), and more the fact that she spent the time between Flamme's death and joining Himmel's party doing nothing in order to stay under the radar.

[@brunomarques7713]

@@Birthday888 If we get another season, you will see she did not spend all those years in the forest. And she was studying something, it was just another "waste of time" as Serie would put it.

[@nfrance999]

Frieren is the Gohan to Serie's Goku. Tons of potential, but ultimately they don't give AF about fighting unless they really have to. In Frieren's mind, The DK is dead, job's done, it's time to just chill. She's at the point where, even being 'inexperienced' for her age, whose really capable of scrapping with her anyway? Demon generals? They aren't exactly common. Past that, it's going to be an incredibly rare few humans, considering in over 1k years she's only been bested by those with less mana then her 11 times. Meanwhile Serie is a battle junky, but that's also why she couldn't have been the one to beat the DK.

[@pbgamer25]

*Roshi enters the room* Serie: hmmm i can feel you like the smoke huh. You pass.

[@SilverCrow0101]

Serie is fond of all her students, it may not look like it, but it really shows. She's disappointed that Lernen will die soon even though he's at his peak, she shielded Sense from responsibility by blaming Frieren, she's teaching glass dude, even though she said she will never understand Flamme, it was basically her who told Frieren Flamme's dream when she was a child in great detail. Even though she say it's an inefficient spell, she's most likely the one who taught mana suppression to Flamme, if not, she picked up Mana suppression after Flamme died. the only person I think Serie is truly disappointed at is Frieren, because Frieren never did a single thing within 1000 years outside the forest she originally resided in, she only became active when Himmel sought her out, and then only collected spells for 80-90 years. That's why Frieren knows Serie is not the mage she wants her to be, because Frieren is supposed to be stronger than she currently is.

[@brunomarques7713]

Frieren was active for 400 years after Flamme died. It's where she learnt all the crazy stuff you saw these episodes and why some demons know her as the Slayer. Frieren was wasting her time on another "useless" skill for the remainder of the time. Which she still hasn't figured out at this point.

[@elmatador2139]

​​​@@brunomarques7713Lugner specifically says that she made her first meaningful appearance 80 years ago if im not mistaken and in episode 10 after Flamme dies it made it seem as though she immediatley went into a life of solitude. Also, Flamme asked her to not make a mark in history and then immediately killing more demons than anyone else in history is not very believable. Edit: Aura also said Frieren probably only trained for 100 years and bragged about being 500. That wouldnt make sense if she knew Frieren was a demon killing legend before she even existed

From a reader of the manga, I confirm. We're seeing in the manga what being a First Rank Mage entails, and if those people passed, they would have died after a month. Serie did them a favor. She may not be a professed pacifist like Sense is, quite the contrary if we take Flamme's words, but she's no emotionless bastard. She's harsh, but frankly speaking, that's what you need in such a place of power like that. She can't accept everyone, because they would become cannon fodder, and that's clearly something she doesn't want (she said because magic is for talented people to Frieren when talking after Flamme's death, but that's most likely not the only reason, but only a half truth to hide her true emotions).

Quick note, Serie has infinitely more mana than Frieren. They're not even close. The old mage sensed that Frieren's true mana was similar to Serie's. Yet Serie tells us she also hides her mana, and the old mage never found out. In other words, Serie's repressed mana is as big as Frieren's full mana. Frieren is basically less than a child compared to Serie.

[@mrminecraftcubeable]

Serie has said that unless you have talent (like fern or flamme) learning to supress mana at this level takes a lot of time, that's why serie doesn't like frieren, she's not as good as she could be for her age, because she spent centuries practicing this, her hidden mana does help her beat demons

[@matthewhelland9258]

[@Dell-ol6hb]

no wonder Serie is disappointed in her, she's the only one who can become as strong as Serie and all she does is just fuck around in a forest for 500 years training her mana suppression 😂, gotta love Frieren

[@Sky_sus.]

In case anyone didn't get the jist of why the fluctuations in Serie's mana were a point of focus , it'd basically just a means of showing us that her mana while being compressed is equal to Frieren's maximum output .

[@Credemis]

Lernen and Heitet are the only two humans we know (as far as I know) that were able to detect Frieren’s mana suppression.

[@angelsambition2179]

Censoring the feet is crazy lmao 😂

[@komos3719]

It's all about lifespan and what you achieve in that time. Fern is a prodigy because she's capable of learning and adapting quickly. That, plus her teacher being one of the strongest mages of all time means that the quality of information is unmatched. Lernen had similar circumstances learning from Seerie but he's probably not a genius the way Fern is and was learning further into his lifespan.

[@Accomplish305]

this might not be an important info, but the old guy that Serie was talking to is the same person, iirc, that mediated for Frieren several episodes ago so she can be allowed to join the exam.

[@sanicboi9187]

oh wow that's cool

[@iamnuff1992]

The line frm Frieren about Fern passing is great. "Just as she will fail me no matter what I said, she will pass you no matter what you say. After all, Serie is never wrong." In other words, Serie is trapped into passing Fern regardless, because she can see her skill and knows that she deserves it.

[@ClaireTheSorcerer]

This anime just keeps getting better and better!

Asian Tiger Mum Serie: "Stop playing around. You need to study hard and learn properly." Frieren: "Nah, I'm going to sit in the woods for a thousand years practicing this one weird trick that nobody ever bothers with."

[@blazalage8519]

Serie just said it takes more than 1 or 2 centuries to fool demons with mana suppresion, but Fern has so much talent she already did so back at episode 9/10 with the blood magic guy.

[@KXdareK]

Yall need to rewatch JJK ep 17 in the blu ray version The completed version is almost a new episode

[@therealestrj7496]

Fern detected what even an experienced mage who's close to or nearly on an even level to Frieren almost at the end of his life couldn't. She's gonna be a serious problem.

[@Ozai75]

The fact that Fern has the ability to even surpass Flamme as the greatest human mage in history and she's *still* under 20 years old is mind boggling.

[@lycorecokawaiii]

Serie maintaining her mana and is that big. As expected from reincarnation of Killua

"Damn, we need that Denken spin-off anime" Wait just a little bit Roshi, we'll get there

[@angelsppp11]

Serie look at mages how Kobe used to look at the younger generation when he was playing "Soft"

[@Twoseconds001]

Serie has a more wider mana even though she controlled it compared to Frieren's mana release! Imagine how much mana Serie is holding back from her arsenal! It's kinda scary tbh. I noticed this in the Manga but it was well illustrated in the Anime. Serie is a beast that's why she's disappointed in Frieren because she also has the ability to surpass her but Frieren is just living like a hobo with no intentions of getting strong

[@spcraftsman2656]

Serie literally said Frieren didn't min-max properly

[@5HeadTaste]

This episode made me really like Richter. Bro just grinding his 9-5, but willing to learn and grow as a person.

[@xxxcy-jv7sq]

crazy that's why himmel love flowers

[@MashZ]

Lernen can't beat Frieren now. What Serie meant was that Lernen, being a human mage, is getting stronger much faster than Frieren. If he had a longer lifespan (lets assume another 100 years), maybe he could get stronger than Frieren, but he doesn't have the time to reach that level. Serie expresses her disappointment because of that.

[@gomasen459]

"Was wondering why he threw ice at me at that party" 😂😂😂 if you know, you know😂

[@DeathWishMonkey]

I think Serie didn't not fail Frieren on the merits. She just dislikes Frieren even though there is a grudging respect. Serie is basically a Shonen protagonist who never grew up--she has no goal other than the pursuit of strength. For what? She doesn't really know. Frieren is her antithesis. Frieren wants to experience life, stops to smell the flowers so to speak, and likes magic for its own sake. Series is what Frieren could have become had she not have Flamme and friends to help her mature.

[@pabloruansabino3933]

This show its so perfect. We need engange more to madhouse mase another bunch of season about this masterpiece

[@HDSUGR993]

Tonpla cameo 😂😂 Its crazy how Serie's mana suppression is bigger than possibly Frierens true mana... Absolute monster

[@JustMe_04-p8v]

Her true mana is surely bigger than Frieren's true mana (after all Frieren is practically a teenager in elven standards, and Serie is probably at least 5-6 times older), but I wouldn't be sure that her suppressed mana too is bigger than Frieren true mana. We really haven't a clue what Frieren's true mana looks like, it's not like we have the certainty that what she showed against Aura was her full power, and really it probably wasn't, she was just flexing there to Aura, there was no reason to show everything, just the bare minimum to make that sadistic bitch fear for her life.

[@jashan8282]

3:33 i can't wait for you to see from whom did denken learn to do hand to hand either. I can see the looks from far away

[@theleelife313]

Serie said that the OG instructor COULD win against Frieren. That don't mean he would. Bro knows his limits. Hence why somebody like Ubel is broken. She's definitely passing, and probably already should have.

[@jamaul1391]

Roshi is right, the elves do seem to age like humans until they reach their later teenage to mid's 20, which can be seen on how their body look

[@colddu]

that guy could saw Frieren was hidding her power, beeing the only one who could do it after the Demon King, it shows he is exremely talented Now imagine how much talented is Fern that she could see Serie was also hidding her real power by the fluctuations of her aura

[@blewflag9928]

That Denken spin-off may be coming sooner than you think (in a certain way).

Like, for sure the next season is gonna be focusing on that arc but oh my god I've been rereading the manga as the chapters go on (to compare the differences and what they did better) and it's gonna take SO much longer than I thought lmao I swore after the exam we went STRAIGHT to El Dorado but hell no

[@pepe2c]

Frieren is around 1200 years old, Kraft is over 5000 he stated that his great adventure happened 2000 to 3000 years ago, and Serie is over 8.000. Regarding appearance, Freren is a young adult or old teenage elf while Kraft and Serie are fully grown adults. It seems adult pure elves no longer visibly age.

[@martinbergen2963]

Serie is like that to frieren: its been a thousand years and you still play around, when i was at your age, i alrdy slayed gods and devils 😂

[@skynex2953]
