Actually, Frieren taught her to only use basic spells in combat, with exception of allowed to use Zoltraak against demons. Frieren does the same, but she can also empower her basic cast to one shot anyone if she wants to. 4 top tier mages have to immidiately retreat when Frieren clone attacks them with single projectile for each. They do not even dare to try block it. Denken knows this because he saw Frieren do 4 impossible things: 1) unbreakable basic shield 2) can cast multiple different spells simutaneously 3) one shotted him point blank 4) created new spell on a whim to destroy unbreakable barrier made by most powerful known mage in the world
I never noticed how epic the ost's of frieren are because they fit so well with the athmosphere of the scenes, but wow i'am really speachless, for me its the best anime of end 2023
True. The Witcher isn't quite grimdark, but it's borderline. Frieren has the light and dark. The beautiful and horrific. It's pure, distilled high fantasy and Evan Call's soundtrack nails that vibe. He's up there with Hiroyuki Sawano, Kevin Penkin and Yuki Kajiura as one of my all time favourite anime composers.
Some people might have issues on how Qual went down easily, but: * he did not really seem to care for his life and/or be used to have to worry about it, rushing to unleash a barrage of attacks spells; * was able to grasp in under a minute what the humans developed in ~80 years of research; * his work was so seminal that basically most human offensive magic is built on top of that, with adjustments due to personal styles, combat situations or just optimisation (like using environment elements to burn less mana).
i dont think anyone had an issue with Quals defeat, if anything he did way better than you'd think for someone dropped in a whole new magic meta, quickly figuring out the shield spell and its weakness, he just didn't know about flight letting him get ambushed easily
@@Haphpint_, ah, you might actually be surprised by how much flak that fight got, reading comments online! I can see why some people might have found it superficially anti-climatic for this big bad boss, but all in context it still made a lot of sense to me.
yeah in addition to humans learning zoltrak, and learning how to counter it, they also learned how to fly. He was not expecting Frieren to be 100 feet in the air when she countered him. Plus though he figured out the defense spell, he could not use it reflexively like humans that have known it their whole lives.
of course he was able to grasp it, it was originally his spell, a lifetime's work of an almost immortal demon was copied and developed by humanity in 80 years
And Qual was even about to overwhelm Fern after realising the weakness of defensive spells. Only Frierens intervention saved her there. And it's no shame to be defeated by specifically demon killing magic wielded by Frieren the Slayer.
whenever it plays when frieren and fern does something op; this is already a classic it's amazing to see whenever artists just combine the right amount of intruments and choir to get something as good as this
It's a msaterpiece, but what is really impressive is that the original is only about 2 minutes 30 seconds. Talk about packing a lot of musical emotion in such a short time span.
"Power stable. Output at optimal levels. Calculating attack vectors, predicting counter vectors. Compressing Mana, containment array spooling to peak RPM. All systems nominal, ready to fire." Good then. ZOLTRAAK!
Zoltarak created the peak of offensive magic and frieren tuned it to beat demons and used it to defeat the demon king. People only forget it because the demon threat isnt as large anymore, and elemenal magic is again used for human v human fights. But by all acounts zoltarak on its own is about as good as it gets. Really underrated spell.
Do note that Zoltraak's introduction and explenation *literally* talked about how it got arms race'd into being relatively ordinary in 80 years or so. The standard variant is as it gets *for it's time* and only punches above it's supposed weight class because Frieren modded it to work against demons specifically.
"Zoltraak" is not the creator. You're referring to Qual, the Elder Sage of Corruption and one of the Seven Sages of Destruction under Demon King's command.
Qual even in the episode it was reveal it’s just ordinary magic already found the weakness of defensive magic in that it takes too much mana so zoltrack can still overwhelm opponents and that’s how fern fight throughout the whole show
Frieren did not use Zoltarak vs the demon king, she modified it through the 30-60 years after if we go by her travel log. It was an ability given to humans afger the defeat of the Demon king this is from her explainations later on in the series of time periods.
I stumbled with this song for the first time and keep on listening to this repeatedly. I know this from anime frieren but haven't watch the show yet. Because of the beautiful melody I decide to watch the anime. It's very worthy experience I must say ❤❤
@@kmeister_ I really don't know if he wants to add information about "Ordinary Offense" what the main comment said, or he thought that the main comment was talking about "offence music in general" and told him it was called Zoltraak from Frieren 🗿 Qual will probably analyze it later
It's not exactly Celtic, but it has Celtic tones to it, especially the use of the flute, and the use of drums sounds both Celtic, but also seems to have touches of Taiko.
Listening to this OST feels like soaring through the galaxies of emotion on the wings of a cosmic symphony, where every note is a constellation of feelings guiding us home to the heart.
Hahahaha she would be a bullet hell boss wouldn't she! Of course the fight would always end with her simply filling the screen completely and killing you.
Evan Call is a famous composer in anime industry, so you might want to check his other works too. But as far as I know this song is a bit different from his previous ones.
