ITS NOT EVEN OVER!? 🧙 (Frieren Ep 26 REACTION!) 

80 years since she used the magic she used to pin Fern to the wall meaning the last time it was used was during their fight with the Demon King.

Ngl, I agree with Carson and Ubel. The sound of scissors cutting things is very satisfying to listen to.

The last spell that Clone Frieren used is so interesting in terms of world building. It seems to be Frierens' Ace in the Hole seeing as the last time she used it was presumably against the Demon King. And more than that is the fact that Fern, who in her own right is a highly skilled mage, can't even understand it. The Major point of that scene (And, what this particular version of the subtitles fails to express), is that Fern CANNOT comprehend this attack. She obviously can tell she is under attack, but she cannot sense any mana, nor can she recognize this attack as a spell. Really consider what that means. This isn't just a spell Fern doesn't know or a principle she doesn't understand. This spell is either so fundamentally different and/or so absurdly advanced, that Ferns own body, her very SENSES, and all the knowledge and experience she has as a mage, cannot even begin to comprehend what Frieren is doing in this moment. This spell is either an entirely different form of magic, like how the Divine Magic of priests is different from Humanities Magic that Mages use (Maybe Elven Magic???). Or it functions at such an advanced scale that a normal human mage doesn't have enough perspective to see it (Kinda like how people are too small to see the curvature of the Earth). All this combined leads to Ferns' realization of the "True Heights of Magic". Not the flashy and powerful spells she was using, but a simple pushing spell that is so beyond her comprehension she cannot recognize it as more than that,

From Ubel's "Magic is about visualization." to Fern's "This is the the height of magic." witnessing clone Frieren do magic by visualization and knocked her off the wall without staff/hands. Peak episode.

Methode is a beast! She fought Clone Fern for at least a solid while and might have even killed her. Plus she has great senses, can Heal, and has Ara Ara energy. Sein truly missed out

Ubel is a prodigy. Fern studies and has an amazing teacher with Frieren so her magic is powerful. Ubel goes off imagination, intuition, and empathy. The magic is explained Ubel very unique and strong. Sense is right about how Ubel doesn't think like person. Because she is able to ignore logic to imagine and visualize something she knows for a fact to be impossible.

That shot of frieren's clone was so cold 🥶

Gotta love Ubel, using her backstory to reinforce how strongly magic is based on imagery and imagination is great. Her target of focus when cutting Berg or Sense's clone down was not on the Defensive magic, but more so on the objects that are universally known to be cuttable. Even her opponents can't unimagine the concept of clothes or hair being cut, then there is no way for them to defend against it.

It's said that, compared to human magic, demon magic is "closer to fairy tale magic". Humans approach magic as a science, whereas demons have an instinctual grasp. It's implied in this episode that Ubel's mindset is more like a demon's than a human's. I think that's what unsettled Sense.

It's not just imagining it's visualization of that concept, she's instinctual her magic works through her feelings, this also has the added benefit allowing Ubel to learn magic quicker than usual as most people learn spells through analysis and understanding the spell

RIP Fern's staff. I love how everyone reacted to that since we've seen her grow up with it.

Ubel is just sukuna’s daughter😂

This ep is filled with details too 1. The lightings and the camera angles in the Sense vs Ubel scene slowly showed us the shift of superiority between the two mages. Ubel in the shadow -> into the light; Sense brighten -> overcast. Upper/lower camera angle shifts. 2. Frieren's golem magic. That magic was showcased early in the series in the form of a dancing golem. It's telling us again that a folk magic (as oppose to the academic magic) could be extremely powerful in the right hands. 3. The stare "magic". the magic circle is a pentagonal star instead of the usual hexagonal star (eg. Zoltrak) plus Frieren's clone casts that with no arms. That's why Fern doesn't recognize that as a spell. It may not actually be a magic spell. This "magic" also could be the one Frieren casted to kill the demon general that invaded her village. 4. There were already 2 treasure chest mimics destroyed in the treasure room scene.

19:58 you don't need a staff to cast or direct spells, we saw in episode 10 how flamme was able to evaporate three general demons instantly with her bare hands.

3:31 - Well Sense said she's a pacifist, so I guess ties into her not outright being completely lethal for fighting style. lol

Frieren really just went "Ah yes, the technique that I haven't used since the Heia... I mean Demon King era"

i think what she meant by being forced to use since last 80 yrs is that crazy magic her clone used on fern .The fact that fern couldnt even recognise it as magic is crazy.

3:32 she did not miss (Sense is a pacifist she dosen't kill them she just forces them to break the bottle and run away)

11:28 Frieren slightly moved her wand to draw the replica’s attention to it, and that created an opening for Fern. The level of detail in this series is out of this world 🤯

for some reason i grabbed this little moment. when Lawine was running towards her clone in slomotion, you can see her legs up close. and the laces on her boots were moving. FREAKING LACES! the level of detail in this show is astounding 13:20 also notice that this isn't even the first mimic, it's at least third one XD you can see two mimic bodies in the frame

I don't think I've ever seen an episode of anime that made me want to stand up and clap at the end but here we are.

can't wait for the next frierenmeshi reaction!!

Ubel also uses *Malevolant Shrine* apparently

Just a reminder, but Freiren has done spells without her staff. Like when she fought the demon who went inside her jail.

🗣️PEAK ANIME

Clone Frieren stared *calmly*

Himmel himself and his squad are just different breed,, they are freaking monsters💀,,

That COLD stare of frieren 🥶 The clone was not having it 😅

14:23 “Ubel slicing Burg in half…” Yeah… she turned him into a Half-burg-er… 🍔😈

Sense is this deadly, yes. But you forget that she's a pacificist. She probably never goes for the kill as a mage. So her replica is most probably wired to incapacitate instead of killing instantly.

I'm happy Frieren finally made her dream of being chewed by the Golden Mimic come true.

Übel has the mindset of a Demon...

I think the reason that Sense's replica doesn't kill people is because she's a pacifist, as she says herself. She likely has this habit of not killing people so deeply engraved into her being, that even her replica is only able to incapacitate her opponents without killing them outright.

I believe that the reason the Sense's clone didn't aim for the heart is because she is a pacifist so the clone essentially mimicked the avoidence to kill

that fake ending got me lmao what an impression

I did in fact look this up, but being stabbed to through the heart, especially with something as thin as Sense' Hair Needles isn't instant death, you can live for a few hours apparently... In fact, apparently many fighting techniques don't even consider it a valid location to attack since it's fairly hard to reach. This obviously doesn't apply to mages, but it is a fun fact. Finally, I don't think the Clones would want to kill their target when they could just force them to retreat and that would solve the Spiegel's Biggest Issue, the fact that its final boss is in a 2 v 1, allowing the Clones to save Mana and rush there rather than engage in a potentially lengthy mage battle.

Ubel's ability to cut through that guy's cloak reminded me of something from Undead Unluck. Her situation with magic is just like Victor's reflexes. Every person has a reflex of self preservation when hitting something so that they don't break their fist. It is only logical. But Victor doesn't have that reflex because after billions of years of living, he has become accustomed to the fact that he'll just regenerate. Similarly, even though Ubel knew that cloak was impenetrable, she managed to visualize being able to cut it. That's why Sense believed she doesn't think like a human. Something as illogical as that is not something a human mind can achieve.

Carson, they all use Zoltrak. It's basic offensive magic.

Mad House is really mad

That psychic attack by clone Frieren is probably demon magic, since mages don't recognize curses as magic. Frieren learnt it but since Fern doesn't know it, she doesn't recognize it as a spell.

I love that Lindsey is wearing Chopper's hat even when not reacting to One Piece

I do think what pushed Fern back was a spell, Frieren ahd the magic circle at her feet

10:00 the copy didn't have enough power to break the defense,so they just need to not be killed

I like that Ubel's "eyes of a killer" is a thing because it makes a concept of a design who already have killed. Because if you observe closely, Frieren, Denken and even Richter have somewhat similar eye designs. Also I wonder why Ubel's clone specifically casted Sorganeil on Land. It makes me think that it wasn't the Spiegel that revived the clones but Land's clone (by the Spiegel) did it. Land's technique is a mystery but if he can make a bottle illusion, then he maybe could make people too?

4:27 it seems much like a Jujutsu Sorcerer, the more delusional you are, the stronger you are.

Always surprised by the amount of those who forgot Ubel killed an instructor.

you guys are right, translation got some things wrong ... dont know why chapter is called "Pinnacle of magic" which make more sense, am spanish native and got to see the episode real soon on friday, so i got it in japanese english sub, then spanish sub, then english official sub.... sometimes translation is weird

But it's interesting that anyone that actually simply relies on the hexagon wall defense magic, Ubel's magic is useless against them. She was able to defeat only adversaries that do not use those. Like the two first class mages - cloak and hair just don't work, regardless of how strong they think their magic made them to be. But with Solganiel and cutting magic together (where her adversaries cannot use the hexagon wall) she is quite invincible if she gets the Solganiel out.

Frieren immediately proceeds to feed herself to the last few mimics in the dungeon, as is tradition among adventurers.

3:30 - Kinda late, but that is probably because Sense is a pacifist and doesn't want to actually kill anybody, and since the clone replicates everything that she does, she fights in the same, non-lethal way: give them enough injuries that they need to leave/are defeated, but not enough to instantly kill them.

7:32 - I really like how there's a way for mages to become more powerful aside from accumulating spells or increasing mana.

Linds with the super cute Chopper hat!

That word Fern say, shes not recognize the attack as a magic spell bring new possibility to the world building. Either its an exclusive to elf by simply never teached outside themself by their tradition. Or its within their blood/lineage, only they can do it. Which make alot of sense why the demon king hunted down every elf. Or maybe its just a really old spell that almost nobody ever see/heard of.

All I'm praying now is tht they make the season 2 because we all know Madhouse 💀

I highly recommend the OP and ED’s for both seasons of Zombie Land Saga. As well as a lot of the songs. Very well produced and make for the anime itself. I also highly recommend checking out the OP for Domestic Girlfriend. So many shows with amazing songs I’d recommend.

That’s a good ol *rasen chibaku tensei* right there

13:21 Who puts Multiple Mimics in 1 Treasure Vault? I spot 3 Mimics dead right in that shot!

Nice Tony Tony Chopper Hat🔥

The glasses dude, only use talk no jutsu this 2nd exam and got apprehended 2x. And yet he passed the test, what a chad.

The whole situation with Clone Frieren's final spell... What if that was elven magic? The whole series they are always talking about human magic, and 2 of the 3 elves we have met seem to be quite proficient at it's use. But perhaps Fern didn't recognize it because it was not a spell based in human magic at all?

My take on the last spell is not about how it works, but what it represents. We see clone Frieren's expression change into a death stare while she did that. Imo Frieren is somewhat vengeful and prideful deep inside. That spell basically makes her focus on the person/entity that did fatal damage to her and single in with the intent to kill, while leaving herself wide open. If we go back to when she met Flamme we can see they both share a pretty deep hatred towards demons. This last resort spell, must've been constructed with demons/demon king in mind. Meaning that in Frieren's mind the one that would deal fatal damage to her is probably going to be the demon king or a high rank demon, so that spell might be a darker spin on magic of some kind in response to her hatred towards demons.

That evil Frieren face is epic! I imagine that would be how she would look if she was the Demon Queen herself!

The Scary Thing is that the Clone basically knew it "Lost" bc. it wouldnt have a Chance in that State against her Original anymore. So it basically tried to kill Off Fern as fast as possible out of Pure killing Instinct. The Datail of her Eye Tracing shows us that it knew what was coming.

I love that there are at least two other dead mimics in the shot.

no she's not missing the heart, that's a clone of sense - sense is a Pacifist

One of the best anime episodes I've seen in a long while Also I'm bummed out that Lawine didn't get to pass

I started reading the manga. The weekly waits are *killing* me

Learning about Ubel was my favorite part of this episode lol

Ubel always struck me as someone who has a connection/outlook on magic more akin to that demons have than humans, actually, her mind might be more similar in general than not.

Fern is really good, but she's still young. She really isn't the strongest among the examines even excluding Frieren. Denken and Methode in particular are definitely stronger, Wirbel too if it's a 1v1.

And Fern literally said: Nah, I'd win.💀

I always print my document to A4 paper but my mother prefer F4 paper If i run out my A4 paper, i always use F4 paper and cut it scissor to A4 size. That's satisfying to my ear and my finger skin

Good call on how Sense always missed the fatal spots. She's a pacifist remember?

3:42 "she keeps missing the heart" You have to remember that Sense repeatedly said she's a literal pacifist. Because of this, I don't think the clone intended to kill anyone and always gave them the chance to escape. It's truly the perfect test for her, and I bet she chose it because she knows the clones are based on the mages' memories and abilities.

Ubel? Na Sukuna in disguise.

Well, Denken was with them, too. He's probably the 2nd strongest test taker.

Fern is in the vents

Just so you know méthodes can beat fern fern is strong but there are many mzge that are still stronger then her in the next arc fern was strugling with a adversaire that methode was playing with and was survelling fern figth at the same time to see if she need help méthode is a monster too🙏🏾

Feels like end of EP 25 was for naught, but this EP was fantastic. Ubel stressing me out like Sukuna now

Sense means scythe

Nah, we need a prequal... we wanna know what the hell went down 80 years ago

It makes sense that the 3 vs 5 would be a win for the mages. Denken can take on 4 at least.... 9:45

She keeps missing the hearts cus well. The clone is based on a pacifist. I assume every time she had to fight she would go spare the people against her.

Whaaattt I dont know u had alt yt acc with other anime. I thought u only watch One Piece

Rip Akira Toriyama

Serie is a pacifist So her replica never kill

PEAK PEAK PEAK

Frieren bended reality in the end. The peak of magic cant be recognized as magic because it becomes like a natural phenomenon. Frieren created a gravity force that became a natural thing. It cant be blocked or sensed Without analyse the spell and principles behind it. In a battle it would be impossible to handle if you dont know it beforehand because you dont have the time to analyse and counter

I don't understand why reactors seem to miss obvious scenes. Wth self destruct what

I hope they adapt that arc

3rd exam is next!!!

Maybe Sense is bad at hitting the heart because she's a pacifist and doesn't get into fights with people.

Do u guys plan on doing Kaguya sama the First Kiss that never Ends soon?

Ubel every episode is more interesting at first we thought she would like a hisoka a crazy phycopthic murder acting as a antagonist for the arc wail she is slightly that its more that her brain just works differently and has a massive imagination and understanding of others and the world alowes her to just do what she wants witch is why she has such a indifference towards murder. Dont know i just like seeing characters surpase expectations

Spongebob was right... imagination :v

Idk, it did feel kind of disappointing that they were all like “a human mage will kill you”, but then fern isn’t able to kill her. Not that the fight was bad in any way, it was amazing, just feel like the payoff could’ve been better.

my Ubel is best
