How Many Triangles are in This Picture? | Frieren: Beyond Journey's End 

Brooo i never noticed but now that you say it it’s so obvious , they’re all so chill not like some other antimagic mf i know

​@@abdeltraore4761 respect asta 🙄

My music helps with that a lot.

Didn’t notice that till you pointed it out, got a sharp ear lol

I agree with that sentiment, the calm calculated approach is very refreshing. I can understand a Pyromancer drawing upon a wellspring of rage to channel a conflagration but not for traditional mages. Traditional mages have too much to calculate to waste energy on excessive emotions. Mages have to calculate the mana cost, output, range, the potential collateral damage, and their spellcasting glyphs while trying to be aware of their surroundings to defend themselves. A lot of mages shown in anime are often downright in the uncanny valley when it comes to believability.

Fern felt disturbance in the magic.

Meanwhile Sense had an umbrella ready. Just in case.

ah yes. My anti-barrier magic I haven't used since the demon king era

more than 2

*none

Lobotomy kaisen strikes once again, nah I'd win

Bro it's everywhere I go 😭

We cannot espcape this meme.

I just read it as a narrator

we will never be free

Tolkien's view of fantasy has been pretty much the go to for a lot of current-day stories about medieval fantasy. In fact, the way we spell the word "elves" was because of him. Before Tolkien, the plural word of elf was spelled "elfs." Pretty crazy to think about.

Knowledge is power look of what we go compare to what people i the 1950s or 1889 had back then good luck trying towatch anime back then

Thats the difference between being extremly powerful and just plain right OP.

yup gotta start with the roots @@0doublezero0

I don't get Tolkien vibes from this. The planning is more like 3 kingdoms strategists. Who plans in lotr?

Exactly, she didn't do that specifically for herself. She did it for her teammate to win her battle.

​@@dc1397not exactly, Frieren was indulging in a whim. She thought it was rude to magic for the barrier to be interfering with a mage's test. So she broke it to let that mage enjoy water magic in the rain. She didn't do it to be nice, or to let the youngins grow or anything. Her principles just said "this barrier is offensive, I'll remove it."

@LibertyMonk she did it for the exact reason we stated, for her teammate to win her battle. Frieren even recalled a conversation about how every party has a different makeup. Frieren fulfilled her end by defeating Denken and Laufen to destroy the barrier for Kanne and Lawine. She cannot move on to the second stage without the girls. They all learned from each other.

we see from the conclusion of the exam, Frieren never wanted or intended to pass, she was mostly there to support Fern, and it seems like she thought while she's there she might as well do something for the other aspiring mages she got paired up with.

She probably had multiple ideas behind it. She did it because she felt the barrier was a limitation on the test, she did it to let her team win, and she did it to say hello to serie

Never noticed that one, good spot!

Didn't even catch that. Props to you for even seeing it when it's like 1 frame.

And right after it, the next frame is a green impact frame with young Frieren's silhouette, it's trickier to see than Serie's (a black and white impact frame). I love it when they hide little details like that, unless you frame by frame it or lucky pause it, you're bound to miss it.

Oh that is brilliant! How do you even spot that? Cheers for pointing it out

That was soo unecessary and i love it, i wonder what this means, maybe represents the moment Serie felt her?

The first class mage exam arc visual is a really pretty representation of that

dmc5 refrence

It'd be a sick wallpaper

@@link1793 Not everything is a dmc5 reference.

She's not even THAT strong. Frieren appearing USUALLY solves a problem, but not always. Especially later on, I won't spoil anything but as they get deeper into the northern lands more and more threats appear that give Frieren a hard time.

​​@@TheCraftySamFrieres strength lies not on her attack power like Serie, but rather in her ability to adapt to anything that is trown at her *SPOILERS FOR ANIME WATCHERS* Take Match for example, Serie would easily beat Match we all know that, specially with the counter curse spell, but Frieren managed to decipher and dispell the curse of a demon, which are said to be impossble to dispell, even for someone like Serie, shes not strong in the normal sense, but rather her natural understanding of emotions allow her to push past that limitations in visualisation, shes like the batman of this world, give her prep time and your done.

She's not here to let her mentees "fend for themselves", she just doesn't want to spoil their fun. The entire reason she likes magic is in the puzzle solving of it, chasing down new spells and such. Like the above says, her superpower is in having centuries of experience solving problems creatively, imagining a way forward.

​@haddarteyerroman6276 yea... (speaking about spoilers for anime gang, volume 11 knowledge below, about 3 and a half to 4 volumes after the anime) ... ... ... Taking 100 years to turn her arm back to normal, and based on that alone, she didn't even need to analyze the memories. It probably did help a little, but since she already had a basis for a cure, it essentially removed any argument for plot armor (and demons are a total mystery, so who knows why he let her live, especially with that one order from the demon king about 300 or 400 years prior saying eliminate the elves). And this thought came later, but that situation, her arm turning to gold, might be the reason she stopped fighting demons (when Himmel the Hero ask her to join them, she said it had been 500 years and had forgotten how to fight them, so on the note, the time line matches up).

I saw two anime that present both sides of the. In one, title something like Strongest Demon Lord Reincarnates, person reincarnated did everything and kept them save, so they didn't really have a chance to grow. The other was strong, yes, but didn't have the reflexes to apply their strength, thus being defeated by someone weaker. The other one, Strongest Sage Weakest Crest, "you can do it, defeat the dungeon boss." [Screaming] "yea, you did it." Something like that. Both were very lower-mid tier anime, same world reincarnation, super strong mc types. Cool scenes with magic... definitely not for everyone.

I don't understand what else he's supposed to do in that situation he's literally out of mana and tied to a tree.

​​@@gomboc5146my bet? Even if he would still in the fight at that moment, observe that level of magic would be a clear pause to the conflict. You do not let pass chances like that, and live with proud as a mage.

@@Naluhthat english was horrible but I agree that was probably worth witnessing for a mage like Denken

@@alekvillarreal3470 well, I'm not native, I do what I can

i remember that without mana denken iz still someone to watch out for i think i heard he can do Martial arts

And also beating him up like playing with a child

Pretty sure she started it as soon as she encountered the barrier, just because of her sheer curiosity to magic.

Sense mentioned that frieren already started the day before

Oh if you like seeing her analyzing spells before doing something crazy you’re in for a treat my friend.

@@hulmhochberg8129but she didn’t finish

It's fun watching the episodes leading up to this moment. They make sure to let you know over and over and over again that it was raining outside of the supposedly unbreakable barrier. You knew going into this episode that Frieren was breaking that barrier for the two girls to make usage of the rain. It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when and how. Made the anticipation all the better. Instead of it being a surprise, you knew it was coming and knew it was going to be a big moment.

Yeah I'm rewatching with my mom and this entire time she's been thinking that they did that to show that kanne isn't weak, this is just a counter to her. And then this happened, she was really excifed

isn't Serie alive tho?

Yes, but they're probably referring to a different group of strong mages from the old times @@Aschentei

​​@itsmebrown3642 Or maybe he meant she's the last one to become great mage, idk

@@Aschentei Serie existed before great mages and that title though so uh yea

I think he meant last as I the one that became known during the war. Serie kinda predates that. Also she kinda doesn't count since the whole organisation is based around her already.

So this is her true power...

​@@MasakanSolarisfar from it

The music makes it feel so grand. The music after shes comes out unscathed from Denkens fire spell also goes hard

Evan Call doesn't mess around when it comes to his music! 🙏

@@jordanwolfman8908 The man is a master in his craft.

I always thought of magic as using mana to manipulate reality, therefore mana is "doing" science similar to the black hole.. Thus the triangles are fractals, and the barrier is built using fractals, it like she is literally injecting different shaped fractal to break the structure of the barrier, like throwing a rock to disrupt the gears of a machine.

Since Flamme asked for it... It makes sense. But, if you consider the real life equivalent, there are mountains of examples of this happening over and over again. For instance: Who's the guy that killed Bin Laden?

@@TheKueiJin well it doesnt help the people who killed bin laden died in more than suspicious circumstances when their helicopter was shot down

*SPOILER* Even underdog after the arc, Frieren flunks the exam by spite of Serie, and moreover is banned from entering any of the school's locations for 1,000 years.

​@@TheKueiJin obama

​@@RWZiggysaw that one coming. Kinda makes the reason it started pointless, but only if we ignore everything that happened along the way. That's some effective spite.

The epic pigtails beg to differ.

It’s probably why she actually could do it , while in this era most mages just go along with the teachings , most don’t even understand how the basics truly work , which is why the most OP understand that with the basics you can do anything

Probably a tome from Graf Granat helped, too. Let's not forget that one. The tome is fake, the barrier it describes is nothing like the barrier used by the city. But it probably was similar enough to this barrier? Every little helps! What I LOVE about Frieren that NOT ONCE did she pull something simply out of her "posterior" - everything she does is foreshadowed and accounted for. And all the other characters, as well.

“I understood that reference” 🤝

​@@Saber721glorious gundam wing - endless waltz reference 👌

There are other timelines

Anime has been peak recently (ignoring all the copycat isekais), but IRL this is more like the most cursed timeline smh

​@@TheBrokeK.I.Dcan't really imagine something better than this

My dream would be for him to compose the music for The Elder Scrolls VI

My dream would be for Bethesta to get rid of the old engine and some of their misleading staff and deliver a product where I do not need modder. @@mainstreet33

@@mainstreet33 My dream is for different studio to do The Elder Scrolls VI.

More than just that. All his body of work is epic. Check his stuff outside those three and you'll find some bangers.

The season went absolutely bonkers with great OSTs with Kevin Penkin on Apothecary Diaries as well.

Yup

Why? It's been many years since i played it so i forgot if there's a barrier or something

@@scio577yes… the magical barrier that sealed all the monsters underground…

@@mathieul4303 oh my bad lol. When's the next deltarune chapter btw?

​@@scio577that barrier is pretty much what the plot of Undertale is about

A while a long while. But probably mid this year​@@scio577

HOW THE HELL DID YOU CATCH THAT???

Nice one!

OH DAMN, dude how did you even catch that?!

What... is your degree in? Mine is Space Studies, and I really only know what about half of that is, but I couldn't even start to put it into practice

Now I need to hear frieren say NUH UH

What do the main character names mean

@@friedhotwings Some of the names in this show are really funny because they are so on the nose :) Frieren - to feel cold/freeze (verb) Fern - far away (adjective) Stark - strong (adjective) Himmel - sky/heaven (noun) Eisen - iron (noun) Heiter - cheerful (adjective)

@@nionafleming4301 thank you

Japanese VAs usually butcher foreign words but they took the extra effort to pronounce most German words correctly which just shows how much everyone is doing their best with frieren.

​@@friedhotwings also Denken means to think and Richter is a judge. It describes them so well, how one always tries to plan and rhino ahead while the other judges other mages too quickly

"The 2th test is to Raid a Dungeon" *Frieren becomes the Final Boss and Sense it's relegate to vigilante labours.

The black and white impact frame has Serie, so cool

You do realize they're within the barrier themselves. It starts to rain on them. They aren't far from it breaking.
