@@a2daj Thanks! I didn't notice how Fern only uses her staff in her right hand. The demon wounded her left shoulder, and so she cannot use her left arm. So good indeed!
She learned from the best. As a mage she doesn't waste time or energy on movement, only what's absolutely necessary. She focuses purely on her magic and speed at casting, both offensive and defensive. She is the spam-queen. She also doesn't bother with flashier spells. Both because Frieren doesn't really teach her other combat spells, and because it would be a waste if she is able to overwhelm with the basics instead. She also has an absolute killer poker-face that doesn't give away what she's doing or thinking. In a fight she hyper-focuses on the battle and is ALWAYS analyzing her opponent while being almost impossible to read in return. She is very likely to be on her way to becoming humanity's greatest mage in the current era.
(I wrote this previously but I am going to leave it here too) At 22:04 there is a rapid sequence of images from Himmel's party on their quest to defeat the Demon king. That is 0.5 seconds in length and therefore 100 times shorter than the 50 second sequence of Frieren living after the death of Flamme. Compare this to her life of 1000 years (approx) and their 10 year journey, and you'll notice it is the same ratio. It is a beautiful way to see how time feels in Frieren's perspective, and powerful knowing that sliver of time had such an impact on her.
Aura always cuts the heads off her slaves after she uses the scales to control them, removing any chance that their willpower will be able to eventually break free. Since the control is over their bodies, not their minds, she doesn't need their heads.
In episode 2 Frieren was drawing a circle around Fern while teaching her, which ,now after the last 2 episodes, we understood why - to teach her how much to suppress her mana. Lugner was seeing exactly the amount of mana coming from Fern, as it was the diameter of the circle.
Oh, i thought it was so fern didn't move from the circle. So, she can be calm even after being showered by multiple attacks. Fern's mana suppression is so outstanding that even frieren can't detect her. Meaning she can be perceived as someone who didn't even have mana.
@@nelg1994and Denken. But they cannot detect the fluctuation in their mana that would come with suppression as the suppression has become as natural as breathing to them
I really like how Flamme tells us she never taught anything but combat to Frieren...and the last spell she teaches Frieren was a non-combat spell that changed everything. Evan Call's "Freiren the Slayer" playing as Frieren owns Aura raises the scene to another level.
Great reactions. 9 and 10 are such treats, but for very different reasons. Episode 9 gives us a good hard look at the elegance of Fern in battle. She doesn't show any emotion once the battle begins, and she controls the fight from start to finish. It is so obvious that she is a powerful mage. It contrasts nicely with Stark, who spends most of his battle figuring out his opponent before unleashing an absurdly powerful strike to end it. Epsiode 9 is well written, paced, and executed. It is all around a fantastic episode that would stand out...except when compared to Episode 10. Episode 10 is largely composed of flashbacks; the most screen time given to flashbacks in a single episode in the entire first season. What is more, this is quite purposeful. In order to understand just how _powerful_ Frieren is, we have to go back a thousand years to the beginning. We have to understand why Frieren hates the demons. We need to see Flamme teaching Frieren so we can understand how Frieren understands her enemies so well. As character and worldbuilding goes, it is great. This is exposition at it's finest. Then you reach the point where you finally understand _why_ the episode is unfolding the way it is. This isn't a character building exercise, per se. They are preparing you for what is going to happen. The tension is building as more and more layers of understanding are peeled back. It hits you: *Aura lost this fight before it even began.* The moment Aura chose to fight, she doomed herself. Knowing this builds the tension and expectations even higher. Then the climax. Frieren _flexes_ on all of us. The greatest displays of raw power aren't from exertion, but rather a release of control. Frieren _relaxes_ her control over her mana for a few moments. As an audience, it's like riding a wave of emotion. Then there is Frieren's parting shot. The coldest line ever delivered in anime. All of the built tension is released. I know I held my breath as Aura followed that final order. There is no music. Just the panic that Aura is feeling as her body obeys the order. She cannot even resist as she does _to herself_ what she has done to hundreds of humans over the centuries. And for a nigh immortal like Frieren, she turns her back and walks away because to watch _is a waste of time!_ What a display of contempt! The whole episode is a masterclass for writing and storytelling. For someone like me who enjoys writing, I was in awe throughout.
Most anime... Well, most shows in general actually, tend to do something wacky and then use flashbacks to justify it afterwards, which always seems to come across quite ham-fisted, whether it's a good reveal or not. Episode 10 does the exact opposite. The entire episode spoils the reveal before the climax. This would in most cases be a disappointment, as the reveal is usually the big important moment. Instead, it uses it as the framework to give us a fantastic episode built around the buildup and characterization.
Excellent analysis. To me the moment Aura remarks that Himmel is long gone is when she sealed her own fate and I knew Frieren would end her without pity, in the most savage way.
One piece of information that is interesting in episode 10. Many ask (where are the elfs) and Frieren said there are few, you see the demon saying to Flame "kill all the elves, thats the Demon King orders". Basically there are almost extinct, because the demons killed most of them.
And all of a sudden Frierens absolute unending hatred, which has persisted for 1,000 years, makes a lot more sense when put in that context. So much hate that upon seeing one in town, even under what looks like a diplomatic escort, she instantly attacks on sight with zero hesitation.
When Himmel and the Hero Party meet Frieren, she isn't wearing the earrings. She is, however, wearing the earrings in flashbacks after joining party. I believe that she had kept Flamme's earrings after her passing and decided to wear them when she finally went out kill the DK. It's how she brought Flamme along with her to show Flamme her dream. Freiren continues to wear the earrings to show Flamme the 'peaceful' world she wanted. Yes, they look a bit different, but that's what happens things over 1k years
It is curious in the story, that Frieren never wears earrings of any kind for a 1000 years, but when she joins Himmel's party, she puts them on, and never takes them off even to sleep. There seems to be some meaning in that, but nothing is ever said about it in the story itself.
@@bobislav85 Thanks. As many times as I have read the manga and watched the anime, I wondered what happened to the third Red Teardrop. Well, as you point out, it's on the end of the Red Ribbon which Frieren wraps around her staff. The open question is the Red Ribbon! Only one person ever wears a Red Ribbon, and that is little Fern, but she gives up the Red Ribbon soon after Frieren moves in with them. Flamme never wears a Red Ribbon, but on all the earliest views of the staff, there is a Red Ribbon. Flamme's neck piece is something like a metal Golden Torc to which she attaches the third teardrop jewel. The new ED centrally features a Red Ribbon. It would be nice if the Red Ribbon on Frieren's staff was Fern's and in that way Frieren remembers both her teacher and her student but the timing does not seem to work.
@@folcwinep.pywackett8517I love watching reaction videos because there’s always comments like these that point out little details like this! Thanks for sharing, this is such a neat detail!
Don’t worry there’s plenty more to come. And by the end you’ll see just how frightening Frieren can be ;). Also notice how Frieren did NOT like aura speaking himmels name in vain, our genocidal elf is quite defensive of her man it seems lol
I do appreciate how Fern fight also shows her using the same strategy as her teacher: her opponent keeps reassessing the situation during the fight yet remains completely oblivious to what is actually happening: She is harmless -> She can make surprise attacks with demon killing magic- > I am better, but she might get a hit in -> I should outlast her -> I can't, HELP! Even if you can't kill your opponent at first hit, the demon mentality ensures that they keep misreading the situation.
The only episode were "Zoltraak" and "Fear brought me this far" are played in just the same time. Just awesome. But now you know why Frieren is tired every Morning, even when it looks like Mana-concealing become a natural state for her
1) Serie, Living Grimoire and closest being to the Goddess. 2) Flamme, the Legendary Mage and Founder of Humanity's Magic. 3) Frieren the Slayer, the Last Great Mage and killer of the Demon King. 4) Fern... Has some MASSIVE shoes to fill!
Thanks for sharing your reaction! I loved Linie's design in episode nine, and I loved the expectation of a similar huge battle in episode ten, but then we get primarily backstory and tactics to resolve the battle instead of action focus. I'm glad it lived up to the hype, can't wait to see more.
The hype I got from ep 10 was insane, the use flashbacks in this show is so well done. Fun little detail, Flamme was fully ready to leave Frieren to die , she only turned around upon realizing Frieren had talent lol. I love this scene purely because this show wasn’t afraid to portray a “good character “ as just being pure, for tiny things like this add a lot of character.
Episode 10 was the most hyped episode of this series, especially the part where Frieren told Aura to kill herself. That scene was absolutely the best one of the entire episode.
Eisen when Starks starts playing: "just max HP max ATK my boy" Frieren when Fern starts playing: "just max INT max AGI my girl" Frieren herself: "just MAX" those 2 eps are great, it will take a while but at the end of the series you can look forward to some possibly more amazing stuff. Frieren's badassery is on another level tho, i love having an anime where people just shut up and fight instead of shouting half the episode too.
The way the show sets us up expecting a great fight between Aura and Frieren, and then subverts it by showing us that Aura was pretty much just an inconvenience for Frieren was just so amazing. Episode 9's Fern/stark fight scene is one of my all time favorite anime fights.
Remember when Freiren and Fern faced the Monster that used illusions? Freiren said she's used to seeing Flamme beg for her life. Well now you know why lol. She'd trick Demons by doing that.
I'm totally agree with your point: "This anime make sense". In anime, power of character usually DON'T MAKE SENCE(That's the point I think some anime are ridiculous) and without any logic. This is one of the reason why I love Frieren so mush that the power in this anime is LOGICAL. Don't have to be a glorious or flashy fight, but rather, using a logical and reasonable technique could against/counter an enemy.
22:41 your inability to sit still because of how well anticipation for the comming drop really shows how well the episode built up for the reveal. It's pretty great 😃
Okay, this probably has been mentioned already, but most if not all the names (characters and places) in this show are German and way cringe if you know that those are not actual names but regular words... Heiter = cheerful Eisen = iron Himmel = sky/heaven Frieren = to freeze Fern = far/distant Stark = strong Flamme = flame Lügner ( the demon from this ep) = liar Draht (the executioner demon) = wire Qual (the sealed demon lord general) = agony/torment Einsam (the ghost monater) = lonely Ende = the end And a lot more ridiculous names will follow. Other than that I love the show and am glad to see you enjoy it
I'm not seeing how that's cringe or ridiculous. In this case, they are like a hidden Easter eggs (for non-German speakers) revealing aspects of the character. Many names are regular words, though the meaning becomes obscure over time. For example, my first and middle name have Greek origins. Christopher means Christ-bearer. And Jayson (Jason) means healer. My son's name (Aidan) is Gallic for "little fire".
Linie and Lugner were my favorite bad guy demons (in this show) from this episode. A lot of people like Qual but I think his air time wasn't enough to form an opinion either way. I kept asking for a Flamme and Frieren backstory when I was watching this and when ep 10 came out, I was so happy lol. She's so great.
@@kriskilins Lmao oh you're in for a ride ;) Also just wanted to say thanks for reacting to this show because it is one of my favs of all time so having your vid pop up on my feed makes me happy/nostalgic lol. Plus your reactions are great and that makes it just that much more enjoyable than watching it solo.
You didn't show it here, but that moment after Aura says "But Himmel is dead now." you can just feel the temperature around you drop like a stone. It makes the end of episode 10 all that much easier to understand.
Frieren doesn't just beat demons. She flexes on them. She killed Quaal with his own spell and she baited Aura into using her scales before ordering her to un a live herself.
do you realize that the logo on your chair makes you look like an elf in certain moments of your video 😅?..(it seems like you have pointy ears..i,e 0:56 )....great reaction videos!
nah Fern is a certified stepper she popped out and ran Lugner's pockets the first time. Lugner then tried to JUMP her and she ran his fade again. personally, Lugner is lucky he died. how is he gonna go back to Aura alive and tell her he got cooked twice by a CHILD?
The crazy thing is... You've yet to actually see Frieren go all out. Even in the Manga, we've only seen Frieren go all out maybe 2 or 3 times. One HAS appeared later on in the show. All I will say, is that another one calls back to early in the story. When Frieren teaches Fern about the Great Demons, she teaches her all of their names and warns her. If you meet a Great Demon whose name you do not know, Run.
that´s a very very very special definition of "speechless". Does the reacter mean the parts she´s taking breath? I am speechless how professional the reacter cuts out every second relevant scene just for suggesting us she didn´t ralise them. THAT´s great "reacting". That´s Frieren style. 🤔
Fern's slow walk down was SAUCY. Cold as ice when she needs to be, just like her teacher
NO BUT SERIOUSLY i loved it so much 🥹🥹
Yeah, that slow, deliberate Fern stroll against the demon, and the cold, cold look on her face! Gotta love her!
And she fought pretty much the whole battle one handed due to her injury. SO good.

Frieren is such a troll. Naive demons and adventurers beware. I love her little smirks and nonplus facial expressions.

Don't have to be a glorious or flashy fight, but rather, using a logical and reasonable technique could against/counter an enemy.
This is probably the only time ive been hyped for someone saying kys, but man it went hard lol

Frieren is what is know in the business as something of a bad ass.

also notice she ended herself by cutting off her head which is what she did to all her kills. she killed herself with what she does.
Ranks right up there with Lupin III vs the Magician

do you realize that the logo on your chair makes you look like an elf in certain moments of your video 😅?..(it seems like you have pointy ears..i,e 0:56 )....great reaction videos!
HAHAHAH NO WAY I didnt even notice that!
The high light here is not on Frieren.. Its actually Fern ❤❤❤ 14:52 RIP the VA of Flamme 🕊️
Even when frieren release her mana still was suppressing her own mana enough just to win
nah Fern is a certified stepper
she popped out and ran Lugner's pockets the first time. Lugner then tried to JUMP her and she ran his fade again.
personally, Lugner is lucky he died. how is he gonna go back to Aura alive and tell her he got cooked twice by a CHILD?
The crazy thing is... You've yet to actually see Frieren go all out. Even in the Manga, we've only seen Frieren go all out maybe 2 or 3 times. One HAS appeared later on in the show.
All I will say, is that another one calls back to early in the story. When Frieren teaches Fern about the Great Demons, she teaches her all of their names and warns her. If you meet a Great Demon whose name you do not know, Run.
AHHHHHHH 😳😳😳😳
And uh ohhhhhhh noted 🫡
Frieren anime is good ^^

So cool.That’s all.
that´s a very very very special definition of "speechless". Does the reacter mean the parts she´s taking breath?
I am speechless how professional the reacter cuts out every second relevant scene just for suggesting us she didn´t ralise them. THAT´s great "reacting". That´s Frieren style. 🤔
look at POV at the last!
Peaaaak 🔥
🖤
Qual ”Frieren…My spell…”
Frieren is scary.
I love it tho
