Necessary Killing | Frieren Ep 20 Reaction 

The reason why few people know about Frieren is because most of the credit has been taken by Himmel, being the hero. A similar situation can be observed today, for example, by asking people who were part of the crew of the moon landing. Most only know Neil Armstrong and don't remember the names of the others, and this happened 55 years ago. Imagine if it had happened more than 80 years ago, as in the case of the party that defeated the Demon King in Frieren. So, I don't find it absurd that few people, even among the wizards, know about Frieren.

The freaking feet censorship 😭😭😭

Wirbel: reveals a brutal and complex upbringing and morality forged through hardship. Roshi: He got that shit on tho

Ubel out here using Dismantle and Cleave like she got 20 fingers

Poor girl got crushed with just ordinary offensive magic💀

Ehre isn't the girl Wirbel liked, the age difference doesn't add up. She was a little child when he saved her village, she's maximum 19 right now while Wirbel is about 33-34.

"I couldn't care less" - Fern & Frieren's face in every single battle😂😂😂

An important thing to note about and one of my favorite things about this series is the level of strength between mages isn’t so cut and dry. Frieren mentioned herself that she has lost eleven times previously to people with less mana than her. This episode really showcases why. Wirbel’s spell allows him to bind the movement and mana of anyone as long as he can see their whole body. If he caught Frieren with that she is done, doesn’t matter how old she is or how much mana she has. Same with Land, if he uses that clone effectively he can easily one shot far more powerful mages than himself. Or with Laufen, she took that stille right out of Frieren’s hand before Frieren even noticed. Now imagine if Laufen had been going for the kill. Show is over right there. Even back with Aura Frieren won that fight not because of her strength or skill as a mage. Aura had a spell that could literally subjugate anyone as long as they have less mana than her, and Frieren used that against her by simply tricking her into misreading how much mana she had. No drawn out fight, no clash of skill, just conned her for the easy win. Things like mana levels and skill level only mean so much. The mage who wins is the one who best uses their abilities. Really the one exception would potentially be Serie since she has so much knowledge on top of her age as an elf to have built up her mana and technique she has a million different ways to outwit or counter people. But even then ahe could potentially get caught if Wirbel caught her off guard.

I think there are multiple reasons that people don't recognise Frieren: 1. Himmel is the most famous member of the party, so outside of specific circles his is the name that gets passed down the most in oral tradition. 2. People might know about Frieren, but don't know what she looks like and expect her to look different or carry herself differently.

Wirbel's childhood friend (first love?) is not present at the exam. She's presumably just a random villager somewhere who may or may not be alive. And as far as Frieren's renown, it's been 80 years for humans. I don't know if most people Richter's age today would immediately recognize a band member from the 1940s who wasn't the face of their group.

Fern is the strongest mage apprentice in history for a reason. She’s always composed, never flinching in the slightest in the midst of battles whether she’s up against a demon or human. She is a true magical prodigy🗿

can I just say sheera's hair looks so good

The answer to why is Frieren is so 'unknown' is simple. Apollo 11. Everyone knows Buzz and Neil. Name the man that stayed on the command module. Without looking it up. Yeah. Its also been over 80 yrs. everyone that was alive back then are gone. And she doesnt wander around bragging aboutit.

Wirbel has the griffith helmet/mask and the orsted jacket , he's too much

No way y’all blurred her feet😂

Those birds are sensitive to manner but the proctors aren't even scaring them off. That should show how skilled they are

It’s not that Denken’s group couldn’t catch one, it was just more efficient to go after Frieren’s group since they were messing with all the water spots. Plus don’t forget there are other npc character groups, so while Denken is the only group that means anything that doesn’t have a bird, they definitely aren’t the only ones without. Plus Denken gotta be pretty strong if he knows who frieren is, and is STILL confident he can beat her

I mean, those First Class mages in the dude's story apparently asked Serie for some fucked up spells to make themselves inhumanly powerful but what Frieren considers legendary-level spells are stuff that do your dishes and laundry for you and stuff like that. She'd probably ask this all powerful elf lady for a spell that sweeps and mops your floors. Not gonna lie, ever since watching this show I can't help but think things like "Yeah, flying and shooting gigantic magic lasers is cool and all, but having spells that wash my clothes and make tea and clean my house would be god-tier."

Those birds are so sensitive to mana that even the smallest drop will send them flying off at the speed of sound. Awfully interesting that those first class mages could have a conversation and move about while having the birds on/next to them 🤔 You know they’re built different.

"Killed her pride!" Lmao I cracked up there.

Fern and Frienen's combat strategy is just "I do one thing. The problem for you is that I do it really, really well."

Knowing Frieren; she'll probably ask for a spell to create syrup so she can finally make properly seasoned shaved ice😅

Jean is always Jean in every other universe with his "baka" and "dayo" accent, lol

If a member of the team dies it’s an automatic loss, that’s why Wirbel gave up😭

I don’t think y’all understand how much you’ll like drenken in the future, THE GOAT

Every other mage taking this exam: Runs around and shows off all their special one-of-a-kind unique magic Fern: Stands in one spot and spams the "basic attack" button until the other guy is KO'd

I hate frieren but I love it so much , I hate how short the episode are I want a 1 hour episode this anime is just so freaking amazing

There were multiple other teams that they show didn't focus on, remember last episode one team got eaten by those bird monsters and another team wasted their time trying to melt the lake in the middle. So more than one team didn't get a stille.

8:40 Nah I think the girl with the long hair is definitely his childhood friend. It's a different person from the one that he was carrying

All the characters names have meanings in German and you can say it explain their characters Frieren: freeze Stark: strong Fern: far Sein: be/ being Eisen: iron Himmel: Heaven Heiter: cheerful Kraft: Power Flamme: Flame Lawine: Avalanche Wirbel: Vortex Übel: Evil Kanne: Jug Denken: Thinking Richter: Judge Laufen: Running

Thanks!

10:58 remember frieren once said that even though she has a lot of mana she lost to a lot of people. Humans, demons and elf included.

Ehre and fern's fight shows the difference in their efficiency. Fern is standing on the ground conserving mana and striking with ordinary offensive magic with acute precision, previously she was defending with singular blocks of defensive magic as well. Ehre on the other hand, is flying and attacking with a powerful earth element magic both of which requires a lot of mana. On top of that, she tried to block fern's attacks with multiple blocks of defensive nagic, expending even more mana. Fern has already admitted that ehre has more raw power than both their teammates. But fern won because of battle experience and more efficient fighting style.

Frieren is gonna walk up to Serie and ask something like "Can you give me magic that keeps people warm when it's cold?"

Frieren's characters be lookin' like villains then turnout to some wholesome guys. ❤

the blocking of the feet always gets me 🤣

“Your partner is going to kill Ubel? I don’t have time for this shit.” - Fern

Making sure the foot fetish of elves is censored lol

Fern's battle style of actually just spamming her basic special attack and WINNING will never not be hilarious to me this is an age where mages learn all sorts of wild spells and counterplays and shit and Fern is just out here literally melting the opps with LEVEL ONE MAGIC SPAM

Next episode gonna be HYPED!!

I almost spit my water out with the blurred out feet...😂😂😂😂

Knowing Frieren, she'll find this Elf girl and get a spell to make shoes never get dirty or sum

Aizawa: Who are you? Wirbel: I'm you, but better.

Everyone who speculates about what kind of spell Frieren would ask about. They keep thinking something big and grand. This is Frieren! *_She's gonna ask for a spell to clean mud off her boots!_*

Roshi brings up a good point about fighting the other elf with all the spells. He's definitely onto something since the intro does look like it shows Frieren and Fern with their staffs about to fight someone in a similar looking indoor building

Frieren probably thinks that if she wins, she can finally get a spell for making syrup.

3:42 is buddy holding the front part of Griffith mask?

Wirbel W guy and he’s even voiced by goat Kisho Taniyama. His voice is so recognisable lol. Glad he’s on screen for more than just first test

Jokes on yall blurring the feet made it sexier.

That chick Serie finally make appearance after got me excited to know her due to her interesting design in both intro. 20 ep in and she just got here lol

Ubel channeling her inner Sukuna.

I fear not the mage who practiced 10,000 spells one time each, but the mage who practiced one spell 10,000 times.

denken's team weren't the only ones who didn't catch one, there were other groups that just got no screentime, and it was part of their strategy to just steal someone else's, not that they couldn't

Great reaction!

blurring the feet is wild lmao - I'm sure Dan Schneider and Tarantino ain't watching your reactions but who knows.

Wirbels spell is not the binding spell Frieren used. Her spell only works on birds, has a range of 50 centimeters and she doesnt need to see the whole object (At least its not stated). Wirbels spell works on everything, we dont know its range and he needs to see the entire body. It also negates mana usage, idk if the bird spell does that.

Mr. Land, pulled a ridiculous move throughout the exam that no one expected...that reveal is priceless and goated move!!😂😂😂 like wtf!!😂😂

Scharf is voiced by Jesse & Baku (Edens Zero), Arthur, Katsushika, Brahma, & Jack (Record of Ragnarok), Wolf Fang Captain (Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World …), Nguyen & others (SpyxFamily), Kentarou (Boogiepop & Others), Hayato (In/Spectre), Sandpiper (ACCA: 13-Territory ...), destruction man & Bell (The Fruit of Evolution), Woody (Tsukimichi), Frodo & Boat race announcer (Jujutsu Kaisen), & many more

glad Roshi caught what I thought. that the 4 yr old him made that statement to the girl in the city he saved, and now is carrying her on his back. That's why she called him an idiot?

Man, I just lie down to sleep and yall post this now. No sleep tonight ig

Been waiting for this

2:11 Yeeeeeeah... but it actually works

Good episode. Theres something about this show. So interesting

10:54 💀💀💀 I’m done with this editor 😂

10:56 Roshi censors feet unnecessarily Us: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

10:54 that censor making it look like something else is there 👀

6:06 fitting coz her name means pride lol

That feet censorship is wild as hell

They always underestimate my boys wirbel and wenken

throwback to frieren telling fern that a block defense like what ehre's doing exhaust so much mana, fern is really an experienced mage already

1:39 ubel attacks looks powerful, but 2:00 - 2:20 fern is just simply more op lol 😅(2:10 , that's a good one! lol😄) 5:35 that does sound really neat , "metal petal" 😎👍. 8:08 that spell is so cool (I'm now wondering which is faster, laufen or the stille?) I like denken, wirbel, ehre , scharf , and land . They're great characters so far.

12:55 don't think I didn't notice u use Caitlyn form arcane for the picture on blue eyed samurai

Looks like a legendary fight comin up next

As you guys know the 'legendary' spells that frieren looking for isn't something "the goal of all life is death"-like spell but like from past episode it is more like remove stain. Frieren is like the ppl that collecting wierd and unique goods

Aneone else thinks of resurrection magic? Even if Frieren doesn't go through with it, it'd be an interesting topic

BRUHH THE FEET CENSOR IS SO UNNECESSARY 😂😂

Bro editor, what was that censor for?🤣

I've seen a lot of people think the girl from Wirbel's past is Ehre but that doesn't line up. Wirbel is in his early 30s (promisse made 29 years ago, he looked about 6yo). We see a grown up Wirbel save a child Ehre in her flashback, which means she's a lot younger than him, probably early 20s. Hell, she might even might even be about Fern's age, 17-ish

Many people probably pointed this out days ago but the girl Ehre on Wirbel's back is not the girl Wirbel used to like 29 years ago. I mean, in Ehre's flashback Wirbel is already an adult when Ehre was still a child. A huge age gap. We weebs are so used to the anime romance cliche where A likes B in childhood, get separated for too long A didn't recognize B, then A meets C, A tells their backstory to C, C recognizes that A is their childhood friend/crush, C tells A is an idiot because C is B all along lol. There are manga readers who theorized that Sense (The teleporting girl with the dude drinking tea) is the girl Wirbel liked 29 years ago. But that part is just a theory, an Anime Theor-

5:47 YYYYYYEEEEEAAAHHHHHH ?! AIZEN ??!?

Was censured hahaha wtf I have to wach again

Undead unluck is the type of show that you literarily watch it multiple times to get it

7:31 Its Mikasa and Gojo were childhood friends?! lmao

Bro, demn feet censorship killed me 😂

10:56 feet censors lol

8:45 Yeah, I don't see how you could think the girl on his back is the girl that he was in love with as a 5-year-old. When he saved that girl's village , he was clearly an adult while she was like a preteen. Lolz

Man, when I saw the censored feet I burst out laughing 😂😂😂

Another legendary mage in the creation.

9:15 I don´t think so. We saw another groups near lake in last episode without Stille.

The feet 😂😂😂

Fern is that glintsone spammer in Elden ring

Can't wait for Frieren to become a First Class Mage to finally obtain the legendary spell that cleans mold and grease stains 🙏

fern literally did what Qual did to them 😂 when qual realized how to counter the defensive magic he spams zoltrak then release a massive one when the defense is exhausted

The girl on his back wasn't the girl from his hometown.

This show really know how yo make you hate someone one episode, Wirbel, and like them the next. I thought he wouldve been shitty

It might just be me, but I swear Frieren face showed a slight reaction on hearing that elves name, remember shes only ever lost to 1 elf in her entire life, I believe that it's to that elf exactly, and just purely an assumption of mine, that elf is the demon lord they supposedly defeat so long ago, either way I'm hyped for the next episode

Guys are you gonna react to the 3 final episodes of zom 100?
