BIRTHDAY AND FLOWERS! | Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 3 Reaction 

I don't know, it may just be idle curiosity; considering how old she is, she's seen a lot of stuff and done a lot of stuff, so anything new and unusual would probably peak her interest - and with no concern for how much time she might spend gathering these strange spells, because she has basically infinite time, she can just go out of her way to locate "neat" stuff for no greater reason than "it's somewhat interesting" - kind of like how I can spend many hours in a day just going through RU-vid videos, in case there's something kinda moderately interesting to watch, because I got no life and too much time on my hands😆 Just a thought.

Watch that scene again and look at her smile. That is not the look of G-rated thoughts...

@@windwalker5765 💀 if fern wasn’t there and she’d given it to stark…..

Nah, she's secretly a perv for sure. An aromantic perv

I'm not southern, but bless your heart. Get ready to out people who aren't southern.

I think it's interesting how Frieren showed some level of respect for him in spite of him being a demon. Normally she wouldn't bother even talking. Based on his looks I imagine Qual is probably pretty straightforward for a demon not bothering with deception. We find out later in the manga that there are atypical demons, none of them are good but there are outliers like Solitar and Macht. Macht actually liked humans and tried to figure out a way to coexist with them but ultimately failed because like all demons he lacked empathy and any moral aversion to killing. But he was able to form a twisted friendship with a human who was himself sociopathic maybe because he found him more relatable. The take away was that Macht despite being an demon was more sociable than typical demons to the point that he actually wanted to figure out what made humans such social creatures and replicate it in himself (but failed to be able to understand it)

​@@atomicskull6405 anim fans try not to spoil things challenge: impossible. Like damn bro stfu and keep that shit to yourself or go post on a forum not on a video of a new watcher on episode 3

@@atomicskull6405 Is it so hard to put a simple spoiler warning beforehand?

@@atomicskull6405 Three months after the fact and this dipstick still left the spoilers as is. Amazing.

Basically a fusion of Kazuma and Aqua

@@Angrenost02 I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT YOU'RE RIGHT

Sweets are damn good when you are in the mood for them!

Yup. He would been completely unstoppable after couple week free.

That bit where Qual copied the defensive magic wasn't actually in the manga. There, he analyzes it but doesn't replicate it. Just a little detail that makes this such a good adaptation; they don't just do a 1:1 copy but they elevate it.

yeah left alone he will become a big threat again even if his old magic is standard now

⁠​⁠@@hikarihakai1285 Well. Relatively. Given that he flexed _immediately_ picking up how it worked, and then decided against using it to save himself, old demons don’t change their spots _that_ easily/quickly. On top of that, he judged the only notable weakness of the shield spell to be its mana cost, and instead of aiming for gaps in Fern’s defenses (the way Frieren did), he resorted to spamming Ol’ Reliable.

Bro is really on Mahito/Higuruma timing

Qual's one trick was old had by then though.

Props to the training fodder though. He quickly knew the weakness of the new defensive spell meant for his outdated magic spell.

​@@ZeromortisimusTbf, his response to defensive magic is also how Frieren trains Fern to fight.

​@@SwordTune Yeah and he was at least easily overpowering Ferns defenses with that method. With a view days of adaptation, he might have been an actual threat to even Frieren.

@@She-Devil94 Yeah, that large blast took out several walls of barriers from Fern. She _probably_ wouldn't last if he wasn't distracted by Frieren.

Qual is like Macht and Solitar, clearly an outlier among demons. When demons loose their pride blind spot they become much more dangerous.

Demons love further developing their speciality. His spell was so good it beat everything. I think he legitimately was looking forward to actually being forced to evolve. I believe his zoltrak would be shattering ordinary defensive magic within a year if he hadn’t been killed that day.

It's worse than obsolete: It's "standard". Imagine spending your life perfecting some piece of art, or device, or writing an epic novel - and then some jerk comes along and goes: "Oh yeah, one of those? I see those everywhere these days."

Not obsolete, standard.

Yep. Except she didn't really use the same exact spell. It's uh... not the obsolete version. Which is what shocked Qual right as he died.

@@SenseofNoneYT that was the whole point, she was adding insult to injury

Frieren basically made his spell "ordinary" and used a more specialized and better version of his spell, which she later used to kill him.

Heiter = Cheery/In a good mood.

@@WhyrenGP yeah sounds more correct, as a german im a bit confused how to translate that correct in english😅

The best one was the name for the border town, Äußerst (outermost)

I think there was also a forest named something like "Größe Forest", but I watched the show in French so it doesn't make sense that they would call it "Size Forest". Maybe they meant "Big Forest", or maybe it simply makes more sense in English.

How dare she!

not the upstanding gentlemen! oh the humanity!

Madhouse really know what they are doing with this one

It's the studio showing off. Like "yeah, this show is 90% or more contemplative and slow. Not because we can't do action, but because we just don't feel like it." I freaking love when studios do it. A show you wouldn't expect it from, just low-key throwing shade because they can.

Yeah, especially since he just said how he'll get to live even longer now. If he actually did die there, I think it would have been more emphasised.

we see one of those little stones earlier so yeah I think it's something of that kind

FR.

God, I love the Fallout Raiders who hang out discussing the best pastry shops in the city

Not to mention it took him mere moments to analyze their new defensive magic and figure out a way to deal with it. Man was an absolute menace and if they hadn't ended him then and there, it would not have been pretty.

Not only that, but even just the brief few moments after he was unsealed, he already started to adapt to the new level of magic. You can see him breaking Fern's defenses at a few points. If the fight continued even just a few moments longer, then there is a good chance that he once again would have become too powerful.

Is Japanese pudding way better and different?

How is frieren liking pudding considering it nectar of the gods? Lmao what? Also that shit looks good

How about you stfu and let people watch the show? It literally explains that later you don't have to tell anyone early. It's like it's impossible for anime fans not to spoil things

I think she's also trying to do better with Fern - it's pretty clear from the flashbacks with Himmel and the others, that she struggled to really connect with them the way they expected - not because she didn't care, but rather because she didn't feel any rush to get to know them; to a centuries old elf, what does it matter if you spend 50 or 100 years learning your friend's favorite meal? There was no reason for her to make the effort to "get to know" them, until she started appreciating at Himmel's funeral how short human lives are, and while she might have all the time in the world, they don't. Since then she's been trying to learn more about humans, and the birthday ritual is a rather common human practice. I imagine to an elf, celebrating the day you were born each year would be akin to us celebrating the hour of our birth every day - you'd barely be done before having to get ready for the next celebration. 🤔

The way I interpret it, Frieren might actually have a better sense of time than humans do, since she always manages to remember birthdays and even accurately plans her travels to show up in time for important events like the meteor shower, or the weakening seal, the difference is just in how she thinks about it. Like how a child and adult perceive time differently, but it's not like the adult stops being able to measure an hour. In the same way I see Frieren having lived long enough that even decades have stopped feeling substantial, but she still can accurately measure each year that passes.

@@LadyDoomsinger well yes. I would go into more detail as to why I said it the way I did but that would include spoilery insights. Btw it reminds me of another story I read recently where the forest Elves and cave Elves act differently and to the timelines of human aged people as most races are in that world it looks like they have an animosity but the reality is the 2 kings are good friends that haven't talked in over 150 years but picked their friendship right back up

oh god please no. i mean yeah that movie was good, but even i was breaking down at the end, and i'm really not emotional when watching something alone. I can't imagine the tearfilled video it'll become with Alicia. She'll dry up.

She would Vegeta thumb point

Or pitting a WW2 era Sherman tank vs a modern friggin M1A2 Abrams. That's about 80 years, right?

he almost caught up to the current max level in the short amount of time thought

@r.a.fgattaiguy845 Did he though? Because a 15 year old blocked every attack he sent 😂

@@loganberkheimer1857 because defense magic was designed to counter that specific spell

With Red Alert music in the background?

Like actual guns or Chaika the Coffin Princess "magic" guns?

@@LadyDoomsinger Actual guns. I remember Frieren and Fern holding an RPG and M4 respectively, as well as a cosplayer of Frieren on the back of a jeep with a mounted machine gun and wearing sunglasses.

@@ChillyReaper Oh okay. That's cool too, I guess 😁

Give her some time she will get around to it, even if it goes against the "12 days of Bocchi" thing

100% maximum no chill

Yep. And ever since I heard english Frieren I've been watching only dub xD It's so good

with the cutest excited noises

I love it yes!

Isn't it sort of a point with another character later, that despite her age she gives no older woman vibes?

@@WolforNuva not cause of her voice though

I came here to say this too!!!!

MAKE THIS COMMENT A TOP COMMENT!!!

My biggest question is WERE IS FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD

Not mention right before the biggest episode of the series ep 40 will solve a major amount of the question shes been asking but she won't upload it

I don't know how but clamslam is just as nasty as it is funny.

Thanks for the psychic damage. I’ll add “clamslam” to my spell list.

@@cartoonishidealism582 You're very welcome. 🙃🙃

Somebody beat you by a minute apparently.
