Sense's "pacifism" is a specific brand that doesn't translate well into English without way too much explanation for the conversations as animated. Basically, she dislikes combat between humans. She is fine with monster hunts, demon slaying and anything else but fighting between humans, especially pointless fighting like in the first test is offensive to her sensibilities.
Just remember, no other studio right now can drop 4 episodes, run for 22 consecutive episodes without taking a break, and maintain quality that surpasses every single 1 cour show. This is a once in a generation type of production. Phenominal anime.
I disagree. Although I love Frieren (it's probably my top currently) Shangri-la frontier was a pleasant surprise. It's definitely not as well written but it is very good and the animation has been amazing every episode with a 25 episode season running every week. I think we're entering a new generation of anime and I'm all for it!
Dungeon Meshi is so far ahead they're doing a multi episode release for their final episode lol, apparently they finished production a few weeks beforehand, but yes, Studio Madhouse stands on business, they ain't let us forget how hard they cooked during OPM S1 haha
@@michaelhaneman2336 nah... Shangri-la frontier animation is good but not nearly as good as Frieren. Definitely a lot of cool shots/frames and effects tho.
Agreed, the last time Madhouse went this hard was with One Punch Man season 1 in 2015 and that was basically the anime of the decade (2010-2020). Frieren anime of the decade for 2020s.
when frieren said she didn't got serious for the past 80 years, the first thing that came to my mind is that the last time was probably against the demon king
Clone Frieren used the original Zoltraak spell from episode 4, characterized by its black color because it’s the human killing version. The current Zoltraak everyone uses is for demon killing.
@sexydj3184 Yee, makes sense though. She helped the most with dismantling/understanding the spell, so it does make sense that she would be able to use it.
@@sexydj3184of course. She's the one who give the information of the original zoltrak to human for study. She's analytical genius, if you read manga you'll understand why
its funny that there are ppl who think that Qual had a chance against current Frieren, because he defeated her before Zoltrak was studied. yea, sure, good luck to him after this shit...
Bear in mind Fern probably wouldn't have lasted that long without OG Frieren taking most of the heat. As Frieren herself said, even if the entire group of exam takers joined the fight, Clone Frieren would probably win simply due to outlasting them all mana wise, and having OP AOE spells. Denken used 3 large scale spells and was out of mana completely, and he's an experienced mage of many years. Clone Frieren spammed a ton of them and was nowhere near done! The fact that OG Frieren was there gave Fern the chance she needed to hide her mana and get the sneak shots in.
Don't underestimate Methode, she found most of the clones alone and already said that she's a battle mage, we know that Fern is strong but this episode is more about match-ups
@@nirolf12 Funny how everyone else thought she was going to try to beat Fern and Methode was like "I have a lot of tricks and tools in my back, I can stall her"
That's why Ubel is my GOAT😂. I remember thinking if they would show us her fight against Sense's clone in here, bc in the manga they didn't, and i know why: it wasn't even a fight, it was a completely annihilation. And her backstory too, really cool.
that stare was prob last thing demon king saw in his life. we didn't see that fight, but i think when it went badly for them, Frieren used this thing and smashed him into a wall, then Himmel and Eisen finished him off and Heited healed them.
@@StruckByBelzby the way to answer your question after the episode, Frieren did tell the rest of the group that even the bottle would not save them against her lol
fun fact, if Fern was alone(like if Frieren somehow was knocked out) she would die there, because that thing keep pushing her into a wall. and not being recognized as a spell means she couldn't even protect against it, same as curses. Frieren basically made her own curse, but instead of send you to sleep or turn you into stone(or, spoiler alert, gold), it just smash you itno something and keep pushing till you turn into a puding...
After watching this frieren fight, Denken's team made the right choice to retreat when they first met the Frieren's clone. if they decided to fight frierclone 1 vs 4 , they would put up a good fight but likely to get wipe out.
Unfortunately they won't put up a good fight...they wouldn't even be able to force clone frieren to use high tier spells. Just like the OG frieren it would probably just spam basic attack spells and exhaust their mana and kill them in the process. Denken realized that gap so he knew the best way is to retreat. I doubt any of them would be able to block all those destructive spells continuously since defensive barriers consumes a lot of mana. They be dead b4 clone frieren even starts to warm up.
AND that is why Frieren focuses so much on basic magic. ( Not that i think zoltraak is basic ) Which also extends to fern. It has no counter. and it counters nothing. It minimizes the rock paper scissors game.
Possibly the reason Sense told the group that her clone “didn’t even count as true adversity” is because she already knew from the start that Ubel can defeat it easily. Like she planned the whole test, including her own presence within it, to be incredibly hard, but still fair. As in every obstacle was surmountable through teamwork. The examinees just had to be clever enough to find the solutions. The only thing she might not have anticipated is just how OP Frieren really is and what a monster her clone would be as a result.
Another reason may be that since she’s a pacifist and doesn’t like unnecessary bloodshed she assumed her clone wouldn’t try to kill any of the test takers, only injure them enough that they’d be forced to retreat. Every time her clone attacked one of them they never seemed to be stabbed through any vitals and they all survived.
Amazing episode, one of the best ones for this season for sure! Agree it's an actual joke that 9 episodes of JJK won best anime, not to mention Gojo (basically the MC during hidden inventory) won best supporting character 🤡.

No, she said that the last time someone pressed her into that point which means to show off her true power for a moment. Not that specific technique because she did that effortlesly and i wonder how many techniques does she have on her arsenal once she delivers her power.
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147I’m gonna compare her to a max level D&D wizard. She clearly scales (beyond even) to that, so she could easily have 100+ spells in her arsenal when considering all the grimoires and spell scrolls she collected.
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147she was already showing her true power throughout the whole fight. What she did at the end was just her ultimate spell, but it leaves her full of openings for attacks. She said that the last time she was FORCED to use that spell, her "ultimate spell", was 80 years ago.. implying that it happened during her fight against the demon king
I am in awe. Words fail to express how amazing this episode is. From the very first moment, episode 26 gives us nonstop epic combat with the animation quality you'd expect from a Ghibli film. Madhouse's animation staff deserves the highest accolades. The way everyone split up to tackle enemies they were strong against was a brilliant tactical move on their part. It was nice seeing all the mages come together like this and showcased their willingness to set aside their difference and work toward accomplishing a common goal.
maybe the studio forget to animated it. But in manga, the zoltraak Fern shot in last episode was blocked by the clone. By repeat shotting zoltraak and be blocked. The clone will undertimated Fern and focus only Frieren, it also part of the plan In the end, after lost and arms, the clone finally regconize Fern as priority target by aim the staff at her, but it's already too late
I think the golem is 100% guaranteed to protect the test takers from anything especially if it's a Frieren clone. The golem doesn't necessary need to fight back, it just needs to grab the test takers, dodge the attack, and exit the dungeon. I think of the golem like an emergency exit. It's the last line of defense if the test takers got into an impossible situation and really need to get out of the dungeon.
Literally definition of if "Looks could kill". I also think why the stare was kinda uhm you know attractive is the hair down and her bangs/fringes covering her big forehead. Making her look more mature than usual and simply enhancing that death stare to be so impactful the first time you see it.
Last episode was all about convincing us that "humans are better" - so that we conveniently forgot that Frieren not only has one thousand years of experience more than anyone else, especially her apprentice, but that she usually fights her opponents by tricking them into making a mistake. She convinced Fern she could win - and then used her as a distraction, just strong enough to force her clone into using a spell Fern was not aware of but that left her in a weak position. Plan complete - just not the plan Fern or the others knew about. Her "fatal flaw" was something she was aware of - of course she would have trained around it. A convenient flaw to bait your opponents with and surprise them with magic they never even imagined a human-like could master. And she managed to have no witness - except Sense who was in the next room - when she displayed was she was really capable of. It may be the era of humans, but the remaining elves still have a one thousand years advantage. but I guess the characters are aware of it - it is a lesson for us, the audience.
what happened to fern at the end where she got pushed is actually insane, fern mentioned that she couldnt detect that attack as a spell, meaning frieren at full power can use spells so proficiently that even professional first grade mages cant detect
I loved this episode especially when they talked about the rock paper scissors analogy when it comes to power levels and different magic systems. Besides Frieren and Serie who are OP in their own right, showcasing Ubel against Sense clone is a perfect display of how some magic users are bad matchups against others. Sure, Ubel may be OP in certain applications but when she met Kraft, the elf earlier before the exams, she didn't exactly try to fight him cuz in her mind, she probably visualize that she can't win against an elf monk who's probably thousands of years old (and probably with an insane mana reserve based on his age alone). Maybe she could take him on but most likely she'll be seriously injured if she does so.
My favorite thing about the "height of magic" scene was that, because the clones fight like the real deal, the implication is that the *real* Frieren would also continue fighting to the bitter end even with *two arms down*. To me that's just as badass as her going all Carrie and shit.
at the start of the exam we learn right away that ubel failed the 1st class exam because she killed the instructor, and here we learn that she cut him half without meaning to. she saw a cloak stacked with defense, and unlike everyone else who unconsciously gave up, she saw something that can be cut. the cloak is cloth which can be cut, doesnt matter if it has defensive magic all over it. just like replica sense. it has layered defense spells interwoven in the hair, but to ubel, hair can be cut so thats how she can bypass the defense and win despite being far weaker.
I'm glad I'm not the only one confused about how they start this episode haha. I already knew what happened from the manga, but I wish they picked it up from the last episode and showed Frieren's doppelganger blocking Fern's surprise attack. The discontinuity was a bit weird for me.
4 Things today im witness something. 1. now i know how our universe was createt, it was frierens planetary deistationspellxD 2. the architecture of this tomb was insanely done because 2 frierens fight inside oO 3. its the third time that wirbels mates would be carried xD 4. Übel just gojoed him xD
Out of all the mages in the exam Fern is the only one to experience first hand some of the type of spells Frieren really knows. Frieren is a terrifying mage, I never want to see her angry lol
them telling why Sense is there making the exam hard what about Frieren lols shes not supposed to be there either. Proctors couldve removed her after the 1st exam knowing shes a Great Mage but no they let Frieren roam around lols.
They are mages. They're supposed to have this kind of odds stacked against them. Good mages are supposed to plunge head first into this kind of risk. Learning magic is already about privying into nature's operations. That kind of knowledge is very unforgiving and mages are expected to overcome at least this kind of challenge. Chinese Xianxia novels would have regular mages going up against at least two opponents one power level higher, one bloodthirsty divine beast and at least one powerful curse in order to get ONE new enlightenment to breakthrough one major level (not to mention that as long as they reach a new mid-upper level, they WILL get struck by cosmic lightning which they have to endure to prove themselves worthy of the powers to nature) and they have to do it every major level (which comes in either 8 or 9). So yes, if you're going to learn magic, you're going to have to be willing to pay STEEP price.
episode 26 started after fern tried to land her first sneak attack (end of ep 25) but clone frieren blocked it. At that moment fern couldnt find the right opening yet. thats what i think atleast.
I think fern and Frieren would have been fine escaping by breaking the bottles, we see from Sense's clone letting everybody get away that if the original doesn't like to kill people, then the clone won't go for it either. The clones highest priority is protecting the monster that made them, and anything beyond that is likely up to the personalities of the person being copied
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the "height of magic" Fern said about Frieren refers to her ability to push her hard on the wall just using her imagination/visualization?
Kinda, I think. Going out on a limb. I think it refers to Frieren and Frieren's clone using a spell which humanity would call a "curse" because its unfathomable and undetectable as a spell, but it still devastatingly defeated Fern. A powerful spell Frieren had deciphered and learned, but perhaps leaves her unaware of her surrounding when she uses it.
03:34 I mean, If you can't atleast put up a fight againts the others first class mage or feared to fight them, then how can you worthy enough to become and call yourself a first class mage🤔? This isn't a training arc to improve yourself. It's the exam to see that you're worthy enough to become the top mage or not. So who saying that it's unfair to fight Sense is basically proved that those people are not ready.
Nooo why destroy the Spigel! It is CLEARLY not a monster but a security system. Sole old lost arcane technology. I am surprised Frieren blew it up instatnly. I would expect her at least to move it out of the circle see if it powers down then blow it up if that fails to help the others.
17:45 fern will be dead if frieren wasn't there. just like frieren said, if they all entered that room and fight frieren clone then they can have a high chance of defeating it but there will be casualties for sure and they wouldn't be able to use their escape golem or even have the chance to. just look at fern pressing against the wall by the frieren clone and couldn't move at all. I doubt she can have the chance to break that bottle if frieren wasn't there. even if she did I also doubt that that golem can save fern. I think frieren clone can destroy that golem either way.
that bottle being able to handle freiren depends on one thing. Can "the mage who created those golems" overwhelmingly overpower Freiren? If not then No. As the golems are created by "the mage" and they are also just prototypes, aka not in their final stages. If "the mage" themselves struggles against freiren, then the bottles definitely wouldn't have worked against her.
What Glass Golem are you talking about? The golems created by Lernen? If it is, you're literally speaking out of your ass. We don't know about that at all. We saw that the golems are capable of repelling magic, there's no way of saying why it wouldn't repell Frieren's attacks. Frieren says that she didn't want other people going to fight her clone because they wouldn't have the time to use the Golem to escape, but she doesn't say anything about how the Golem would be useless or anything like that. You're just overhyping Frieren without knowing what would happen. And that's all I'm gonna say to avoid spoilers.
@@boboyo3140 That was a very insightful comment. Not going to try and convince you otherwise, based on your words it would be impossible. May the creator of Diagoldze help you versus Learnen's smaller Golems. Have a good one!
@@quoll5314 the creator of Di Agolze, the same guy who defeated Frieren with no problems and forced her to stay in hiding for 6 CENTURIES? Lol okay. If you don't have a counter for macht's curse you're literally FUCKED, it doesn't matter how powerful you are, you're just gonna get transmuted. In a similar way, Grausam was able to neg diff frieren with his illusion magic and there was NOTHING she could do about it, but Heiter could since he's a priest and later on Himmel could since he relies mostly on instincts. Power levels in Frieren are not so simple as "this guy defeated you and I'm even stronger than this guy, so you have no shot against me at all" lol, this very episode is proof of that. Ubel can defeat Sense even though she can't defeat Denken, and Denken can't defeat Sense at ALL. Serie said Lerner may be able to DEFEAT Frieren in a 1v1, chapter 57 if you wanna read, so I'm gonna trust Serie's judgment here and say that Frieren wouldn't be able to "destroy the golems in less than a second" lol.
@@boboyo3140 Hey Lisa, I was surprised by your response. I read some of your other comments and they all seem to come from a place of anger. The comment section can be quite antagonizing sometimes and maybe people come here to blow off some steam. It's safe to assume that we both enjoy the show, the manga and this chanel, so don't take what I'm about to say as confrontational. My thought process here was quite simple, chapter 85 page 11, the small Golem gets easily destroyed. Characters with similar knowledge are capable of such a feat, Frieren being one of them. I think we can find common ground by accepting that the forces involved in that conflict are comparable to some degree. This has nothing to do with power levels, curses, Serie's predictions, or even Lernen's chance of victory against Frieren. It was a simple frame, thus a simple conclusion regarding the smaller Golems, and only the smaller Golems (not Lernen vs any demon/Frieren). As a side note, I can't wait for that storyline to be adapted 😄.
Sense gonna get scolding from her boss. From a proctor reputed to have zero passing rate to suddenly passing a batch of newly minted First Class because she is confident of her rules (Some of them are honestly undeserving). If Frieren didn't participate, I imagine only Methode and Ubel will pass.
If frieren wasn’t there, fern is a 100% gonna die. She could not even move her hands, she will not be able to use the escape golem. And frieren did say the last episode that if all the exam taker were to ganged her replica they definitely win, but a lot of them are gonna die and doesn’t have the time to use the golem. She’s just that good bro😅
If the next season is really made, A little Spoiler . . . . . . . . . . . . then frieren and denken vs one of the seven high demons (like aura) sure will be peak FOR SURE !!!. hahhaa cant wait for this
We don't know how the glass golem would fair against frieren. The person who told you the Golem wouldn't last a second against her doesn't know what they are talking about. We have no basis to assume what would happened if Frieren tried to kill the Golem. What we know is that the golem has the capability to repell magic.
it was a 1st class mage who made that golem , the strongest serie aprentice who still alive right now ... and i bet if frieren clones want to kill it , the clone can ... there is too much gap from 1st class mage to frieren ...
@@andyserizawa Serie herself said that Lernen has a chance of beating Frieren lol, how can you say the gap is too big when Serie thinks Lerner could win against Frieren
@@andyserizawa she literally said. Chapter 57, page 8. She says to Lernen: "You've reached such an ultimate state, and yet the end of your life is nearing. I don't think you'll have a chance to challenge Frieren in the future. Even if it's a fight you may be able to win."
@@boboyo3140 she just encourage him , because lerner is like serie , a warmonger but he lack of fighting chance because demon king is already dead and there is not enough war for now ... frieren power is still mystery , even for serie ... because she lack of feat until they killed demon king and we didnt know how that fight works because serie herself cant kill demon king

Not that specific technique because she did that effortlesly and i wonder how many techniques does she have on her arsenal once she delivers her power.
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147I’m gonna compare her to a max level D&D wizard. She clearly scales (beyond even) to that, so she could easily have 100+ spells in her arsenal when considering all the grimoires and spell scrolls she collected.
@@ZetaMoolahI wouldn't say she's a max level wizard because there are mages still above her, so she isn't at the max level yet.
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147she was already showing her true power throughout the whole fight. What she did at the end was just her ultimate spell, but it leaves her full of openings for attacks. She said that the last time she was FORCED to use that spell, her "ultimate spell", was 80 years ago.. implying that it happened during her fight against the demon king
There are Epic Levels beyond 20 in D&D, I think.
I am in awe. Words fail to express how amazing this episode is. From the very first moment, episode 26 gives us nonstop epic combat with the animation quality you'd expect from a Ghibli film. Madhouse's animation staff deserves the highest accolades.
The way everyone split up to tackle enemies they were strong against was a brilliant tactical move on their part. It was nice seeing all the mages come together like this and showcased their willingness to set aside their difference and work toward accomplishing a common goal.
the PEAK of magic
Ferns weapon broke into pieces 😢😢😢
Ubel's thought process: it's supposed to cut, so i cut it.
maybe the studio forget to animated it. But in manga, the zoltraak Fern shot in last episode was blocked by the clone. By repeat shotting zoltraak and be blocked. The clone will undertimated Fern and focus only Frieren, it also part of the plan
In the end, after lost and arms, the clone finally regconize Fern as priority target by aim the staff at her, but it's already too late
If you notice, Methode was looking down at the fern replica as if she had already restrained it.
I have a feeling she is nothing to play with
I think the golem is 100% guaranteed to protect the test takers from anything especially if it's a Frieren clone. The golem doesn't necessary need to fight back, it just needs to grab the test takers, dodge the attack, and exit the dungeon. I think of the golem like an emergency exit. It's the last line of defense if the test takers got into an impossible situation and really need to get out of the dungeon.
So Ubel’s power is the embodiment of Gojo saying “ nah, I’d win”
I know how you’re feeling bro explaining stuff to my wife and her still not understanding the most simple shit… got me weak. Stay strong brother 🤣
All i can say to you guys dont underestimate methode that woman is can go crazy mode 😂
Frieren unleashed hair look is giving me sinister vibe man, don't t mess with her in that state
what a crazy episode
The way that JJK is going (and has been going) it will fall from grace very quickly.
Hopefully. Very mid anime. Average at its best.
Literally definition of if "Looks could kill". I also think why the stare was kinda uhm you know attractive is the hair down and her bangs/fringes covering her big forehead. Making her look more mature than usual and simply enhancing that death stare to be so impactful the first time you see it.
The SHINRA TENSEI was amazing a total Baddass😻🔥
“I guess we’ll never know,” Kanye?? Is that you?
Last episode was all about convincing us that "humans are better" - so that we conveniently forgot that Frieren not only has one thousand years of experience more than anyone else, especially her apprentice, but that she usually fights her opponents by tricking them into making a mistake. She convinced Fern she could win - and then used her as a distraction, just strong enough to force her clone into using a spell Fern was not aware of but that left her in a weak position. Plan complete - just not the plan Fern or the others knew about.
Her "fatal flaw" was something she was aware of - of course she would have trained around it. A convenient flaw to bait your opponents with and surprise them with magic they never even imagined a human-like could master.
And she managed to have no witness - except Sense who was in the next room - when she displayed was she was really capable of.
It may be the era of humans, but the remaining elves still have a one thousand years advantage. but I guess the characters are aware of it - it is a lesson for us, the audience.
15:23 Check out the amount of collateral damage on the wall from Fern's clone fighting against Methode. Fern is a BEAST.
Yet methode destroy her 😊
And the Frieren replica took that personally.
what happened to fern at the end where she got pushed is actually insane, fern mentioned that she couldnt detect that attack as a spell, meaning frieren at full power can use spells so proficiently that even professional first grade mages cant detect
I loved this episode especially when they talked about the rock paper scissors analogy when it comes to power levels and different magic systems. Besides Frieren and Serie who are OP in their own right, showcasing Ubel against Sense clone is a perfect display of how some magic users are bad matchups against others. Sure, Ubel may be OP in certain applications but when she met Kraft, the elf earlier before the exams, she didn't exactly try to fight him cuz in her mind, she probably visualize that she can't win against an elf monk who's probably thousands of years old (and probably with an insane mana reserve based on his age alone). Maybe she could take him on but most likely she'll be seriously injured if she does so.
Nop, they just cut in the beginning of the episode how she blocked the attack with shields, but was for the sake of the episode pace.
My favorite thing about the "height of magic" scene was that, because the clones fight like the real deal, the implication is that the *real* Frieren would also continue fighting to the bitter end even with *two arms down*. To me that's just as badass as her going all Carrie and shit.
I think no one was expecting this episode to be this amazing. And about the exam, there is one more test.
Ubel: Nah I'd Win😅
Literally she is the Sukuna and Okkotsu of the show!
Frieren gave her interstellar move: The Black Hole 😂
Philly in the House !!!!! loved the video showin love as always ✌🏾
at the start of the exam we learn right away that ubel failed the 1st class exam because she killed the instructor, and here we learn that she cut him half without meaning to. she saw a cloak stacked with defense, and unlike everyone else who unconsciously gave up, she saw something that can be cut. the cloak is cloth which can be cut, doesnt matter if it has defensive magic all over it. just like replica sense. it has layered defense spells interwoven in the hair, but to ubel, hair can be cut so thats how she can bypass the defense and win despite being far weaker.
I'm glad I'm not the only one confused about how they start this episode haha. I already knew what happened from the manga, but I wish they picked it up from the last episode and showed Frieren's doppelganger blocking Fern's surprise attack. The discontinuity was a bit weird for me.
4 Things today im witness something.
1. now i know how our universe was createt, it was frierens planetary deistationspellxD
2. the architecture of this tomb was insanely done because 2 frierens fight inside oO
3. its the third time that wirbels mates would be carried xD
4. Übel just gojoed him xD
80 years, We’re all assuming the last time she used that was when Frieren n her party defeated the Demon king
if of, if not THE coldest death stare in recent YEARS! 🥶
Basically Ubel’s fight in a nutshell:
Richter: 🪨
Sense: 📄
Ubel: SCISSORS ✂️
Sense: F*UCK
Frieren stated that her replica would not even give them the chance to use the escape golem.
OP boss, yup that's a dungeon boss for you.
Out of all the mages in the exam Fern is the only one to experience first hand some of the type of spells Frieren really knows. Frieren is a terrifying mage, I never want to see her angry lol
them telling why Sense is there making the exam hard what about Frieren lols shes not supposed to be there either.
Proctors couldve removed her after the 1st exam knowing shes a Great Mage but no they let Frieren roam around lols.
Wow a 20+ minutes video of Frieren let's gooo!
They are mages. They're supposed to have this kind of odds stacked against them. Good mages are supposed to plunge head first into this kind of risk.
Learning magic is already about privying into nature's operations. That kind of knowledge is very unforgiving and mages are expected to overcome at least this kind of challenge.
Chinese Xianxia novels would have regular mages going up against at least two opponents one power level higher, one bloodthirsty divine beast and at least one powerful curse in order to get ONE new enlightenment to breakthrough one major level (not to mention that as long as they reach a new mid-upper level, they WILL get struck by cosmic lightning which they have to endure to prove themselves worthy of the powers to nature) and they have to do it every major level (which comes in either 8 or 9).
So yes, if you're going to learn magic, you're going to have to be willing to pay STEEP price.
So this is how it looks like if frieren going all out her magic😮
This is what happens when you give some of the best talent in the industry the time necessary to cook.
*13:37* I believe thats where ep 25 supposedly ended.
episode 26 started after fern tried to land her first sneak attack (end of ep 25) but clone frieren blocked it. At that moment fern couldnt find the right opening yet. thats what i think atleast.
Frieren had said in a previous episode that the golem from the bottle wouldn't save them from her replica.
No, I think she said that they wouldn't have time to use them.
@@CorporalCookieThey wouldn’t save them either IMO😂
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147 Yeah, would agree with that too!
I think fern and Frieren would have been fine escaping by breaking the bottles, we see from Sense's clone letting everybody get away that if the original doesn't like to kill people, then the clone won't go for it either. The clones highest priority is protecting the monster that made them, and anything beyond that is likely up to the personalities of the person being copied
I think Frieren said it last ep that they wouldn't have a chance to use that battle if they get pinned by clone frieren
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the "height of magic" Fern said about Frieren refers to her ability to push her hard on the wall just using her imagination/visualization?
Kinda, I think. Going out on a limb. I think it refers to Frieren and Frieren's clone using a spell which humanity would call a "curse" because its unfathomable and undetectable as a spell, but it still devastatingly defeated Fern. A powerful spell Frieren had deciphered and learned, but perhaps leaves her unaware of her surrounding when she uses it.
03:34 I mean, If you can't atleast put up a fight againts the others first class mage or feared to fight them, then how can you worthy enough to become and call yourself a first class mage🤔?
This isn't a training arc to improve yourself. It's the exam to see that you're worthy enough to become the top mage or not. So who saying that it's unfair to fight Sense is basically proved that those people are not ready.
Crl award is just popularity contest
I hope we see how Frieren vs Demon King went in the anime coz I wanna see Freiren go crazy
Frieren defeat every enemy and her replica no one cant defeat her
Meanwhile Mimic Chest goes Nom Nom 😂😂😂😂
So the fact he cut the guy... was becasue she is clumsy :)
Nooo why destroy the Spigel!
It is CLEARLY not a monster but a security system.
Sole old lost arcane technology.
I am surprised Frieren blew it up instatnly.
I would expect her at least to move it out of the circle see if it powers down then blow it up if that fails to help the others.
Fern's first hit got blocked like the second one you saw.
Fern is awesome but don’t underestimate Methode lol, she could probably body Fern
She actually did.
17:45 fern will be dead if frieren wasn't there. just like frieren said, if they all entered that room and fight frieren clone then they can have a high chance of defeating it but there will be casualties for sure and they wouldn't be able to use their escape golem or even have the chance to. just look at fern pressing against the wall by the frieren clone and couldn't move at all. I doubt she can have the chance to break that bottle if frieren wasn't there. even if she did I also doubt that that golem can save fern. I think frieren clone can destroy that golem either way.
that bottle being able to handle freiren depends on one thing. Can "the mage who created those golems" overwhelmingly overpower Freiren? If not then No. As the golems are created by "the mage" and they are also just prototypes, aka not in their final stages. If "the mage" themselves struggles against freiren, then the bottles definitely wouldn't have worked against her.
i need dark elf race in this anime
But did the glasses dude do anything in this exam ??
Ubel magic reminds me of Sukuna's technic
Pretty sure it’s almost the exact same technique
Hey guys, great reaction. I would like to respond to one of your questions (no spoilers), the glass Golem wouldn't last a second against Frieren.
What Glass Golem are you talking about? The golems created by Lernen? If it is, you're literally speaking out of your ass. We don't know about that at all. We saw that the golems are capable of repelling magic, there's no way of saying why it wouldn't repell Frieren's attacks. Frieren says that she didn't want other people going to fight her clone because they wouldn't have the time to use the Golem to escape, but she doesn't say anything about how the Golem would be useless or anything like that. You're just overhyping Frieren without knowing what would happen. And that's all I'm gonna say to avoid spoilers.
@@boboyo3140 That was a very insightful comment. Not going to try and convince you otherwise, based on your words it would be impossible. May the creator of Diagoldze help you versus Learnen's smaller Golems. Have a good one!
@@quoll5314 the creator of
Di Agolze, the same guy who defeated Frieren with no problems and forced her to stay in hiding for 6 CENTURIES? Lol okay. If you don't have a counter for macht's curse you're literally FUCKED, it doesn't matter how powerful you are, you're just gonna get transmuted. In a similar way, Grausam was able to neg diff frieren with his illusion magic and there was NOTHING she could do about it, but Heiter could since he's a priest and later on Himmel could since he relies mostly on instincts. Power levels in Frieren are not so simple as "this guy defeated you and I'm even stronger than this guy, so you have no shot against me at all" lol, this very episode is proof of that. Ubel can defeat Sense even though she can't defeat Denken, and Denken can't defeat Sense at ALL. Serie said Lerner may be able to DEFEAT Frieren in a 1v1, chapter 57 if you wanna read, so I'm gonna trust Serie's judgment here and say that Frieren wouldn't be able to "destroy the golems in less than a second" lol.
@@boboyo3140 Hey Lisa, I was surprised by your response. I read some of your other comments and they all seem to come from a place of anger. The comment section can be quite antagonizing sometimes and maybe people come here to blow off some steam. It's safe to assume that we both enjoy the show, the manga and this chanel, so don't take what I'm about to say as confrontational. My thought process here was quite simple, chapter 85 page 11, the small Golem gets easily destroyed. Characters with similar knowledge are capable of such a feat, Frieren being one of them. I think we can find common ground by accepting that the forces involved in that conflict are comparable to some degree. This has nothing to do with power levels, curses, Serie's predictions, or even Lernen's chance of victory against Frieren. It was a simple frame, thus a simple conclusion regarding the smaller Golems, and only the smaller Golems (not Lernen vs any demon/Frieren). As a side note, I can't wait for that storyline to be adapted 😄.
Sense gonna get scolding from her boss. From a proctor reputed to have zero passing rate to suddenly passing a batch of newly minted First Class because she is confident of her rules (Some of them are honestly undeserving). If Frieren didn't participate, I imagine only Methode and Ubel will pass.
If frieren wasn’t there, fern is a 100% gonna die. She could not even move her hands, she will not be able to use the escape golem. And frieren did say the last episode that if all the exam taker were to ganged her replica they definitely win, but a lot of them are gonna die and doesn’t have the time to use the golem. She’s just that good bro😅
nah frieren just being humble here ... clone frieren would obliterate all of them if the real frieren isnt in that room
@@andyserizawa true that. even if Sense's participating for some reason i dont think they gonna win without real frieren.
The disrespect for Methode isnt necessary, you guys overestimate Fern a bit to much. And yeah JJK is not worthy for Anime of The Year, its overhyped
80yrs ago was about the time they fought demon king.
Hello! I did a short from this video. Where can I send it to you?
If the next season is really made,

then frieren and denken vs one of the seven high demons (like aura) sure will be peak FOR SURE !!!. hahhaa cant wait for this
Epic episode
Masterpiece.
The height of magic means He/she can use magic without using stuff
We don't know how the glass golem would fair against frieren. The person who told you the Golem wouldn't last a second against her doesn't know what they are talking about. We have no basis to assume what would happened if Frieren tried to kill the Golem. What we know is that the golem has the capability to repell magic.
it was a 1st class mage who made that golem , the strongest serie aprentice who still alive right now ... and i bet if frieren clones want to kill it , the clone can ... there is too much gap from 1st class mage to frieren ...
@@andyserizawa Serie herself said that Lernen has a chance of beating Frieren lol, how can you say the gap is too big when Serie thinks Lerner could win against Frieren
@@boboyo3140 serie never said that
@@andyserizawa she literally said. Chapter 57, page 8. She says to Lernen: "You've reached such an ultimate state, and yet the end of your life is nearing. I don't think you'll have a chance to challenge Frieren in the future. Even if it's a fight you may be able to win."
@@boboyo3140 she just encourage him , because lerner is like serie , a warmonger but he lack of fighting chance because demon king is already dead and there is not enough war for now ... frieren power is still mystery , even for serie ... because she lack of feat until they killed demon king and we didnt know how that fight works because serie herself cant kill demon king
JJK won or 2023, next will be for 2024, so maybe Frieren will win some or The Apothecary Diaries🤔
HEY MY FRIENDS JUST I WANTED TO KNOW IF IF U GUYS KNOW THAT AKIRA TORIYAMA PASSED AWAY.!
Your comment about the voting in crunchyroll and about fans that only watch action/hype anime, they sure are biased. For sure they really haven't watch that much anime yet.
Y'all really still upset about crunchyroll awards lmao😂😂
Its kinda obvious that Frieren is gonna win this year.
jjk won the crunchjyroll aotf and it didin't even was the best part (the shibuya incident). This tells you that only fanboys voted. I guess jjk had the most of them. Anyway this year will be taught with Frieren and also Solo leveling. I voted for vindland saga 2 btw
if they all go without frieren they can finish the dungeon 😂 cause sense will be the strongest clone but ubel counter her hard
There are 3 tests. Serie next episode.
FRIEREN vs golden MIMIC , 0 : 3 😅😂🤣😭
yoooo where is breaking bad reaction?😢😢😢
Now don't get me wrong, Ubel is a sicko for sure but that test was stupid. Too arrogant and too much confident in the dude own ability
El anime en si es malisimo igual que su manga lo unico bueno e estudio de animacion le da tanta locura porque la esena del anime i el manga ninguna encaja no son asi
