FRIEREN IS CRAZY???!! | FRIEREN: Beyond Journey's End EPISODE 10 | New Anime Fan! | REACTION 

I love some of the memes that came out of the ending of this episode like the "happy ending" one where Frieren says marry me instead and Aura is forced into marriage 🤣

In my entire life I’ve never felt like I’ve wasted as much time weed And tobacco wraps Watching Friedren The Most Garbage Slice Of Life Bs I’ve Watched Gantz Is Better speed Grapher, Ultraman ,B The Beginning, Terrerrformers ,

I Could Go On But There’s So Many Anime’s I Can Name That Are Depressing But Better Cashin Sins , Gantz ,Nura ,Dororo,Banana Fish ,darker than black,phantom requiem I could go on

Please please please watch the anime ed this time! The animation is so beautiful!

The storytelling is amazing

ED: "And you alright?" "NO"

everytime i hear that ed i say internally, no man nope, i want more

​@@74z9made me sad and happy that we probably got new Ed and op in the next major arc

😂😂

It also ensures shes really dead and that theres no sneeky way to "techmically" cut your head off while still surviving somehow.

That explains the armor

​@@Agent_Matt_6 She beheads her victims to compensate the weakness of her magic; that those with strong wills can resist the control temporarily. Without their heads they can't think to resist

Oh damn... Of course 🤯

Also notice the good animation detail of Aura's hair getting cut as it touches the blade's edge. The animation in this show is really good where it matters.

Thank you for pointing that out. I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise.

Ahhh I did miss that!

Step 5: **insert LowTierGod**⚡🙎🏿⚡

@@KleinerFratz-jf3wy step 6 never look back showing total disrespect to the enemy

She didn't have to wait to enter her mana field, she was just taking her time.

Step 7 : play ed song : and you alright ..

@@penjualsempakoffline3220for more emotional damage 😂

That's what we said. .born Genius.

Actually a brilliant point! 💯💯

Another thing to take into consideration, Zoltrak hadn't been invented yet. Flamme blasted the 3 demon mages with raw mana and blew away the entire hillside behind them. She didn't have a staff to focus her magic. She truly was a genius

it seems that some mages are born special somehow,like fern is fast,flamme maybe was just born with a huge mana suply,kinda like how rudy in mushoku has more mana then others because he was self aware as a baby being reincarnated and trained way before normal humans would train their mana,as badass as freiren is,compared to fern and flamme she may be more averege,just time on her side

@@deenman23 Nope, Frieren is also a special case like Flamme. She wasnt just a strong mage with lots of mana before meeting Flamme, she could also tell Flamme was much stronger instead of being fooled by her mana suppression. Hence Flamme seeing her potential and perceptiveness. Any other mage also couldnt have copied Flamme's suppression as fast as she did, with the ''it's been 3 years youve been doing it non-stop,, looks like i was right about you'' line. She's a 'genius', like Flamme. A genius with strong mana since birth and with time as well to raise it even further,, making her so OP. In comparison, Fern has speed, but only got tremendous mana after cultivating it with frieren, not at birth like Frieren or Flamme.

His name was "Lügner" though, which is the german word for "Liar".

simply, she collect absurd magic in order treasure her memories and pure hobby. in that regard still useful by many form, either maintain thing that left behind by her comarad or People and Places that she shared memories with.

reading the end of chapter 122 makes me think there's another reason why she's going around collecting every spell no matter how useless it is but I wont spoil it in case it upsets anyone.

I don't think that's the case. A strong will can let you resist commands, but the scales of obedience only force you to obey, they don't remove your thoughts or emotions. Even without a strong will, Aura would still react like that.

@@opinionofmine3238 OK, fair, I worded that poorly. My point is that if Aura had a weaker will and didn't resist, her death would have been quicker. Because she was able to resist, she ended up making it worse for herself.

​@@ben-san9677seeing Frieren's mana engulfed her's ....... when she put down her sword it's crystal clear she lost her will to fight because for demons Mana is their dignity and as for her a Sage of Destruction along with the pride in such title were blown away. she gave up and all she can do as a response was disbelief.

Ah okay!

She is the ice cold apex predator.

So so so epic!!

She's named Frieren for a reason

That was ice-fkn-cold. I love how it seems like Frieren never goes overkill. She never wants to expend more than she needs to to get the job done. Like, you have to believe Frieren could have just floated in the air and aerial-bombarded Aura and her army into dust with a massive barrage of attacks or one particularly devastating spell, but instead she's just like "No, I want to preserve the bodies of the people Aura has enslaved so they can be buried properly, so I'm just gonna make her use her own spell and tell her to -banned words- then be back in time to get tucked in by Fern."

I love that detail too. :)

Add to that the fact that Himmel actually didn’t have the hero sword that was fated to kill a Demon king but a fake one, and you can see why it was after Himmel died, that the Demons started acting up. They didn’t see Frieren as a real threat because she was just part of the heroes party and the hero Himmel killed the Demon king….😊

Also I suspect Fern can do more with less mana because of her exceptionally good control over it. Plus, even before she started supressing it, it was nearly undetectable even for Friren, so she's probably really good at hiding it now.

Also to train Frieren to not be affected by demon's pleas and cries for mercy.

Nope. She was used to hearing her master beg for her life because she met ghost like the ones in that episode... They disguise as a beloved one so she was seeing her in the past, beggin to be killed... Exactly what happen with the ghost of Himmel... And Frieren said something like: "oh, It's Himmel this time... I'm changed"

yeah, a lot of people don't realize it, but it's not just frieren dropping a cold line on aura. you can say this is "morally" worse, but Frieren genuinely wants Aura to suffer, and the way she sends her to death is an expression of her rage. (notice she gave Qual the Zoltraak guy the option of a painless death). at least from the perspective of a viewer, while frieren wanting aura to suffer may make her a more morally flawed character, as far as storytelling it means that it's not some arbitrary mic drop. it's an actual expression of character, and an important part of the narrative.

@@jamesfern14freiren has a habit of irony when it comes to demons. Every time she humiliates them using their own magic. Freezing one in time only to turn his once legendary spell into common attack magic, offering him a painless death since she already obliterated his lagacy was probably fair. Beheading the rope trick demon, and getting Aura to Lose the fight with her own spell atleast on appearance follows this

I did. :)

Seeing the flashbacks with Flamme her lethargy seems to have been a part of her since they met, whether that's a result of trauma from the massacre of her village or that she has been like that since she was a child. But I would support the idea that suppressing her mana has made her like magic less.

I agree on the sleepy part. But otherwise, her loss of love for magic may also have been linked to the fact that she does not see herself has "deserving" to be a mage, as she is now a cheater. How could she still profess her love for magic, when she doesn't show respect for magic and other mages, including demons ? I don't think she likes what she has become...

Another thing to consider is that she hates demons, and demons love magic. They are obsessed with it, and Frieren wants nothing more than to see every demon on the planet dead. They took everything from her, and they did it by using magic. In my mind, this is one reason her answer to Flamme’s question changed over time.

Lol imagine she went from 10% to "only" 50%.

I'm not entirely sure about that (I read the manga but I'm not caught up, like 3 volumes behind) but regarding how far the anime will adapt I think we will see near the end of the season how powerful and scary she can be to some extent and It can be a hint of what you said: Maybe she didn't show all of her mana to Aura, just enough to defeat her.

@@caBr010 I think it would make sense. The demons will know that Aura got killed and they will probably also know that frieren did it. That means that they also know that frieren has more mana. Revealing her real mana level could destroy her centuries of work. Frieren could have done it out of pride but I wouldn't have done that and I am dumb. Well I am also not a prideful wizard. Unlike my grandpa.

not the whole community the manga readers were basically unscathed

Ig Aura meant in the worst case, 100 years training. Probably more like 50 or lower, which is much more reasonable.

@@jaideepshekhar4621 Hard to say, either way, but even if it was closer to 50 years, that would still give a guy in his early 20’s, at latest (considering he’s gonna live another 80 years in those medieval times), around 250 years worth of training, back then when they met. It’s crazy, any way you slice it.

@@KRP71390 Ofcourse its crazy, they are all prodigies. Just not god level of crazy. :)

@@jaideepshekhar4621 Again, debatable. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure why you’re trying to low ball things _that_ much, but I’ve read comments on other videos that the guy could easily use spells/blessing(?) to make it so the party doesn’t need to breathe and maybe not even eat for a month to pass through bad terrain. Some would claim those sorts of feats as ‘godlike’, especially for a ‘mere human’ who probably wasn’t even 30 years old at the time. But hey, it’s not like they give us many hard numbers, as opposed to mostly averages, so who can really say

@@KRP71390 It's just my logic. The way she said it made me feel she was trying to think of the worst case scenario for her, a hundred years of training. Since she was trying to be cautious. You may feel differently. Not lowballing anything, just my opinion.

Her compressed state was 1/5th of Heiter's. I imagine it was a lot less than 1/10 at the time of their meeting. Maybe something like 1/50.

This brings up an interesting discussion, though, which is magic, and what it means in this series. At the start of this episode, when Lugner is in dismay right before his death at what Fern and Frieren have done, it's meant to strike the viewer as ironic, hilarious, and even repulsive. After everything they've done, they dare go and act stuck up over some quibble like magic suppression? It's a very strange thing. But the hint to what it means is actually in episode seven, when Lugner talks about words. "What makes words different from swords?" Lugner is, of course, gloating, and there's some facetiousness there. But in a certain sense, he truly does not understand the difference. The only thing demons understand is mana. It isn't simply status and wealth to them. It is language. When Frieren reveals her true mana, when Lugner realizes Fern's true mana, it is as if it's the first time in their lives that they've been lied to. And, in a sense, they have. The despair on Aura's face at being shown up by Frieren is palpable. Notice how both of her subordinates died fairly dignified deaths. Sure, Lugner was gunned down like a dog, but at the end of the day he retained his pride. But what does Aura do? She looks like a scared young girl as she's putting the sword to her neck. (which, funnily enough, has led to her having a looot of fans who wanted to see more of her) Is she just more of a coward than her subordinates? Doubtful. Her entire worldview has been shaken. Her belief in what made her important, her belief in what magic itself means, was just undermined. Now, is this just some weird quirk? The demons are silly creatures, and Frieren and her master being so self deprecating about magic is just a weird quirk of mages? I don't think so. Magic in this series is not simply an instrument. Magic is being. And that's why the burden that Flamme puts on Frieren is a remarkable one, a tragic one, and one that shows she was an imperfect master. Notice how Frieren changes after coming under her tutelage. Even after her village had just been destroyed, what does Frieren say? "I love magic." She goes out of her way to bring it up to her master, almost out of nowhere. But what does she say after fifty years? How much does she like magic? Only somewhat. Mana repression of the sort that Frieren does is repression of her very being. I'll get more into that later, but I want to make a quick note of why even though Flamme is humanity's number one ally, I have mixed feelings about her. It's true that asking Frieren to learn the spell to create flowers sort of gave Frieren the one "out", a lifeline back to keeping her uh... not humanity, but the elven equivalent. However, notice after she requests this, she immediately tells Frieren, you will not let yourself be known to history until you slay the demon king. In that moment, Flamme is telling Frieren: it does not matter how long it takes. You will dedicate your entire being to killing the demon king. That's your purpose. That is what you'll spend your life doing. It is, I think, a rather selfish thing to ask, right after she asks for something so humanizing and evanescent as flowers at her own grave. This is a big reason, I believe, that Himmel ends up supplanting Flamme in importance. It is not simply that romantic interest overcame Platonic love for her master. Himmel was someone who was better for Frieren. And in fact, Frieren is better for her own apprentices. She trains Fern to be a magic killing machine, but guess what? She buys birthday gifts for her apprentices. cont..

Ultimately, the self-denial that magic repression is, becomes readily apparent when you look at the way the auras are used visually in this episode. When we look at Aura's... aura. What do we see? We see her pride flowing off of her. All her confidence and bravado. Magic is language. Magic is being. Magic is emotion. When we see Flamme's repressed aura, we see her own repression, how her cavalier attitude is also a way of hiding her own rage. That's why, of course, Flamme can't be fully blamed. She merely put on Frieren the burden she could not see through herself, because she could never live long enough to do it. What do we see when we have the first canonical chronological appearance of Frieren? It's her sorrow. Elves are clearly beings of muted emotional expression. Frieren's entire village has been destroyed, and yet she seems to sound as stoic as ever. Why? It's because her emotions are being expressed in her mana. Her sorrow is emanating off of her completely uncontrolled. When Frieren tells Flamme, "you must know what it's like. Because you're far stronger than me." It's not simply an acknowledgment of power. It's that Frieren sees through Flamme's flippant mask. Frieren understands all the rage that is boiling underneath. This, of course, makes Himmel all the more important, and all the more a perfect match for Frieren, besides of course the fact that the two of them were always going to live in fundamentally different notions of time. When Himmel understands Frieren is as powerful as she is, it means he sees past all of her repression, and sees through to her real self. Flamme had set Frieren upon a path of self denial, and self erasure. Himmel did the exact opposite. He brought her back onto the path of finding herself again. All of this, of course, makes the blast of aura that Frieren releases that much more meaningful. It isn't just a flex. It isn't just a show of force. It is Frieren, for the first time in AT LEAST eighty years, releasing her mana fully, and her emotions fully. In that moment, Frieren expresses all of her rage. And that really adds to the coldness of Frieren's last line to Aura. It isn't just a badass kill move walkoff. Frieren honestly wants Aura to suffer for what she's done, and to experience what she's made so many others experience. What's interesting is how all of this also reframes Frieren searching for magic. There's a certain question that lingers over the opening of this show. Why does Himmel not even try to reach out to Frieren? Is it just that he gave up on romance? He obviously could have at least tried to find her once in those fifty years. Perhaps he simply didn't want himself to be hurt, knowing that they lived such fundamentally different times. In my opinion, it's because he understood that Frieren, more than anything else, needed to do that journey of self discovery. It's similar to how someone might give space to someone they have feelings for, because they're working through trauma. Frieren perhaps loved Himmel, but she was in no position to even consider that. The unfortunate thing is that by the timescale that Frieren lives, the time she needed to work through who she was, unfortunately, was the span of an entire human life. Talk about right person, wrong time. It also really makes you re-examine the fact that nowadays Frieren is a kind of slovenly, lazy, goes by her own time elf. She dedicated all of her life, over a thousand years, to just being a demon killing machine. But nowadays, she loves lying in bed, having fun, and reading. Every time you see long timespans of Frieren spending time, you'll notice she always always seems to build a snowman. Himmel gave Frieren the gift of wanting to love life and experience it in its fullness. Of course, for Frieren, that basically means she's on vacation after a one millenium stint as a demon slayer. It's a testament to how good Himmel was for Frieren that she can be emotionally open with humans who will live nowhere near her life span, and care about things like their birthdays. I mean really, the birthday thing really says it all. A ten year journey wasn't even a hundredth of her life span. So a one year journey isn't even a thousandth. Compared to human lifespans, doing some napkin math, Frieren is basically celebrating her companions and their lives once every 25 days. I mean, really. Imagine if you were expected to get people birthday presents once every three or four weeks. I already don't want to spend that much money once a year. Anyway, I'll end this analysis here. Your episode gave me a lot to think about to notice these things. I hope you enjoyed reading it!

but you know, this only to showing how implicate on mana supress. Fern already known and did this because Hieter might told her so, since the moment Frieren first time seeing her training she appear controlling her own mana greatly at that age.

@@fletarious Fern Seemed to have a Natural Talent for it according to frerein i believe since she said that mana control is the hardest part and she could barely detect her before even training her.

@@Xalpharis yeah fern definitely very talented, but funily enough Frieren didnt realize this Fern and the thing that she told to Hieter about how she keep restraining her mana as his reference xD
