Every century she goes through might as well be an additional NG+ added.

​@12SlimJims Frieren is what it would look like for a skyrim player which has been playing Elder scrolls since Arena but still has the spells from each

Well, Serie is a tsundere. Lol Seriously though, I think it is Serie's coping to pretend that she wouldn't care. Imagine experiencing sorrows due to deaths of loved ones throughout eternity, it is probably worse than dying itself.

Spiler . . . . . . . Serie always remember all of her apprentice not just flamme.

You won’t know whether Serie is a mother figure or child figure to Flamme

And she adore Flemme the most. You will see in final episode if they can make it to ending of the season.

ゼーリエがフリーレンと歩いたのは、たぶんフリーレンと歩きたかったからじゃない。ゼーリエがかつてフランメと歩いた道を歩きたかったんじゃないかな。

People are lowkey taking them for granted,, i feel

​@@LiebeZSlade_Ayzal.YI mean they just killed the demon king lmao

4) triggered more mimics than anyone else in history (frieren specifically)

and created Zoltraak for humans

5. Brought peace for 50+ years by simply being alive (Himmel specifically).

They both thought the other one would attack first That replica really is perfect

Good catch. That'll come up soon

So an eidetic memory. On the other hand we see that Frieren forgot the spell to get someone out of a swamp...

@@Bayard1503 Nah she was one hundred percent fucking with Sein. She doesn't need a specific spell for that she could clearly just pull him out with magic, no way it would take more force than pulling a whole ship out of the ocean with fern. She just "happens to remember" right as fern walks up. That's also why fern apologizes on her behalf after he gets out.

@@TheFates666 honestly i dont think it would be weird if she had a spell specifically for pulling someone out of a swamp (that she totally didnt need to use)

Macht was one of the most interesting villains I ever seen and the writing of that arc was top notch

We did not miss this at all and actually discussed it in our video and compared Serie’s grief to how Frieren talked about Himmel and the others at the start of the show. I think it was quite obvious that Serie loved and cared for Flamme but because of her long lifespan chose to downplay the impact she had on her.

You're absolutely right. In the scene where they're walking, you can hear Serie refer to Flamme as 'Anoko(あのこ),' which translates to 'that kid' or 'that girl.' Although Serie might typically use 'Aitsu(あいつ)' to mean 'that guy' in a rougher manner, in this instance, she says 'Anoko.' This choice of words really highlights Serie's perception of Flamme, almost like a child to her. It seems that Serie's deep-seated feelings, especially her grief over Flamme's death, are subtly revealed through this unconscious expression.

PS: Sorry for the wall of text PPS: I'm ESL so sorry for any typos.

All great demons are a threat, even to Frieren.

actually, Children born after 2010 are bad with computers cause they got used to everything being like smartphones or tablets.

@@crispycreammcfly4782 Though I understand what you mean, and agree with you to an extent. There is a very large difference, between the threat Qual and Aura posed against the threat Clone Frieren posed. Again I mostly agree with your statement, after all, this show is always making the point that just having more mana and powerful spells than your opponent doesn't mean you'll win. But I still believe this is the only time we have been shown where Frieren was in a legitimate, equal position to her adversaries. Qual was her superior in the past, but we only see him in the present where he is still powerful, but Frieren is confident enough to use as him as training for Fern. Aura posed a threat to others, but Frieren herself never showed any actual fear towards her, she acknowledged Auras power but never felt threatened by her. Serie and the Demon King is/was likely threats to her but we haven't seen either of them during a confrontation. When I said that this is the first time she was facing a Threat it wasn't meant to discredit or diminish the impact or power of the other enemies she has faced so far. But to point out, what I feel is a change in mentality between prior fights and this one. This is the first enemy where Frieren, admitted it would be a difficult task and instead of dealing with it, she had to stop and lay out a proper strategy and rely on others to help her.

@@Ozone946 Honestly... fair xD

Serie came from the mythical age, the era that directly followed the last time the Goddess of Creation appeared in the world. Using Genesis as an analogy, Serie was born not long after Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden. The evolution of combat magic according to Frieren, Qual, Richter, and Edel is as follows: Accoridng to Edel, originally combat magic was direct creation of elemental forces. This is shown with Frieren's two elemental spells in this ep. There was defensive magic in this era that was designed to protect the caster, but as shown by Frieren clone, you can also just use offensive magic as a defense (using Judrajim and Vohlzanbel to deflect themselves or even Judrajim to deflect Vohlzanbel). A variation of this latter method is something Fern also used in her fight against Lugner, when she simply Zoltraaked his attacks into oblivion. According to Edel, these older elemental-generating spells were super-inefficient because you need to expend a lot of mana to generate those elemental forces you're throwing at the enemy. According to Frieren, this was why Zoltraak was initially unstoppable. Unlike earlier elemental magic, Zoltraak simply bypasses magical defenses, be it spells or magical items. People have compared Zoltraak to a gun, but it's actually a smarter weapon than that. It's more of a hacking tool that delivers a bricking command to the target. More importantly, Zoltraak was far cheaper to cast than any earlier spell. This necessitated an update of exiating defense spells to create one optimized against Zoltraak. This was the origin of "ordinary defensive magic". According to Qual, humans created ODM by inverting the essence of Zoltraak, in effect making a sort of static Zoltraak wall that could stop Zoltraak itself, with the added benefit that it would also stop anything Zoltraak could destroy (which was nearly everything). However, this spell requires more mana to cast than Zoltraak itself, so the way to defeat it with Zoltraak was by forcing a battle of attrition where both sides try to overwhelm the other with Zoltraak spam until one side ran out of mana. According to Richter, this then created a stalemate and forced human mages to figure out other ways to defeat ODM with even less mana consumption than Zoltraak, and they achieved this by using physical objects to attack, becaus ODM was only optimized to deal with Zoltraak. Edel clarified this further by stating that the mages lowered their mana consumption by borrowing those physical objects from nature (instead of trying to create them like older spells would), and this gave them a disadvantage when they didn't have access to their material of choice, as in the case of Kanne and apparently Edel's own team (although we never found out what materials they specialized in). With that said, there was one elemental generating spell everyone still used: fire magic, as used by Denken, but also by Blei and Dunst when they futilely tried to melt the lake Lawine froze. This was the state of magic in the modern era. Everyone uses material borrowing magic to beat ODM which in turn was developed to beat Zoltraak. Some mages can bypass the borrowing limitation by borrowing materials that are always available. Sense uses her own hair, Richter uses soil, and Denken uses air and light. Others can cheat, like Scharf who can cast flower-bed-making magic (hey, Serie, it's useful after all) then turning the flower petals into metal shards to attack. Others simply come up with conceptual attack magic, like Wirbel's Sorganeil and Ubel's cutting magic. In the case of Frieren and Fern, they just ignored the last stage of evolution and adapted their tactics instead of their magic. Frieren doesn't actually need to worry about attrition loss because there is nearly no one around who can beat her in mana pool size, not even most Great Demons. She can use omnidirectional multilevel ODM all day long while spamming Zoltraak at her opponents. However, this wasn't true against herself, so she had to resort back to ancient elemental-generating magic against the clone because, unlike for a human mage, she could handle the mana cost of using them in a protracted battle. Fern is different. Fern is so fast that she wouldn't even need defensive magic after the first few seconds of a fight. Either the opponent would be overwhelmed and forced into full defensive posture (like Ehre) or she could just Zoltraak away tbe opponent's attack (like Lugner). She too can win almost any attrition fight because if the opponent continued to attack they'd be overwhelmed before she ran out of mana or if the opponent went into defense they'd be forced to waste their mana casting ODM while she spammed them with more mana efficient Zoltraak.

Isn't the mimic idea a joke? Or are people actually serious about it ?

right? literally the most overused and obnoxious joke in the latest episodes, and it's not even funny

@@_syzygy_ agree, first it's hillarious to say that, but then everyone spamming that everywhere even on FB and Tiktok, so cringe

The manga’s writer, Kanehito Yamada, will not be writing the prequel novel but will be involved in supervising it. I doubt the manga’s editors were involved in the decision.

I thought the prequel novel is going to be about Frieren, Fern, Stark, Aura, Lawine and Kanne?

@@dgk030593Exactly. It’s going to be five short stories set before the main story featuring those characters. Not a telling of the hero’s party adventure

Seems pretty serious. She was having fun, but she is definitely serious. She always has a plain look to her face. We even see fights that she has that are more even and she still has the same face.

She was totally serious though.

Well, but given how everyone absolutely loved this show and the blue ray is most likely going to sell super well in Jp, a season 2 is inevitable And Frieren’s peak arc/plot line up with the scheduling of season 2 if we go by 2 chapters per episode

because it's not yet over. the second half will most likely not have flashbacks.
