THIS IS PERFECTION!! - Frieren: Beyond Journeys End Episode 26 REACTION! 

When someone says "Don't think of a pink elephant, " Ubel actually doesn't.

That clone's death stare gave me chills when I first saw it.

Thank you for noticing the two dead mimics, it's such a subtle part of the joke but makes it that much funnier.

Last time she had to use that was 80 years ago. So when she defeated the demon lord. All the small details and world building in this anime is so good.

Übel really just cut the strongest defense mage in half and went "teehee my bad~".

Frieren clone looking at Fern and thinking "Playtime is over, little girl". Threat assessment updated. Combatant Fern identified as primary threat. Commencing neutralization.

That final attack from Clone Frieren is terrifying. It's been established that normal magic is the translation of thought. But this attack was PURE thought, without going through mana. So it's instant, undetectable, and irresistible. As Fern said "the height of magic". Frieren said she hasn't used it in 80 years, which means that's probably the attack that she used to kill the Demon King. Fern was lucky to survive.

Clone-Frieren's next-level attack on Fern makes me think back to Fern mentioning when Frieren said that basic attack magic was enough for this era.

Props to the architects if 2 frieren can battle there :D

Frieren vs Frieren casually reprogramming reality

I like how the mere mortals are running around flinging dirt and lasers at each other while Frieren is casually summoning black holes and alternate realities.

Frieren hasn't ever looked better, prettier and sexy than that moment with the replica hair down with a death stare.....

I like how they built it up like Fern could kill Frieren but in reality as we just saw Frieren would kill Fern in 45 seconds if they actually fought.

Awesome watching the magic in the Frieren battle. All the "fancy" magic we've seen done by everyone else just paled in comparison. How Frieren replica could still be alive must be some incredible magic.

I can't tell what was more threatening to Sense, if Übel pointing a pair of scissors directly to her chest or she telling her she has pretty hair.

The 1-2 seconds Lawine and Richter took to relax and recover after killing. They stood side by side and didn't watch each other's backs. That's exactly what Sense warned them about. The clones aren't an issue if you watch each other's backs.

The golem was Breakdancing in one of the previous episodes. And was smaller. "This isn't like you" - Frieren said the same thing to Flamme, when she was going to teach her the flower spell. Like it's not "like you" for a battle mage to know peaceful magic. And now its reverse - peaceful mage to know such destructive magic

the visuals are just stunning in this show, Frieren just casually re-creating a miniature Big Bang while shattering the fabric of reality was insane. As expected 99.999% of human mages would die in less than 5 seconds should they face a serious Frieren, probably the only exceptions being Flamme and Lernen (as far as we know). Serie did tell her to not neglect her training, and she probably didn't, at least mana-wise, not all her stuff is geared towards combat, but when she fights for real it's really scary, as she said in the previous ep, no one knows better myself how scary i can be. Not many characters can manage those lines without sounding cringe, but Frieren can cause she's not showboating.

getting to see frieren's true power is always a treat

I really like how allowing a mage's imagination to influence their effectiveness gets around the issue of power scaling with "more mana = strongest mage always"

Normal people: nah, aint no way my scissors can cut a chainmail Übel: looks like a cloth, thus my scissors should cut it. And actually cuts it.

I think what Frieren do is to imagine an attack without using mana. This is the height of magic - casting spells withous using mana.

Ubel's philosophy when it comes to magic is exactly why "with magic, you can accomplish anything you believe/can conceptualize" is such a terrifying magic system. I don't see it often, but recognizing the more horror side of that system sends chills down my spine every time.

I love Wirbel party so much 😆

After meeting Übel, Burg has only been half the man he was before... 🤣

I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction to the next episodes. This anime is just pure gold from start to end, there is not a single moment where you feel something is out of place, it's just like everything flows naturally.

You have to imagine everyone else walking through the final room on their way to the treasure room, surveying the damage from that battle, and being like "what the actual hell happened in here?" Through the whole Frieren fight, I kept thinking back to when Frieren said that just Zoltraak is sufficient to defeat mages of this era. There's obviously a reason she specifically limited her statement to "this era".

That serious Frieren is what Sein would've wanted..that death stare is something else with the hair down as well 🤌🏻🤌🏻

You guys really think frieren can be blitz one shot that easy 😆 Damn frieren getting underestimated so much or fern stock value that high 😆

Frieren had been killing demons since under Flamme's tutelage. Zoltraak is only around 80-100 years old. So, she musta been using some other, perhaps ultra level spells to kill demons with. She only started using Zoltraak because it was powerful, efficient, and a snub to demons to use their own spell against them.

Thank you for sharing 😊

80 years ago... When she killed the Demon King

Practically, when Übel fights Burg, she doesn't see what's he's doing to his Immovable Cloak, she simply sees him as a piece of cloth. And her Reelseiden is the scissor. Like in the rules of Rock-Paper-Scissor, her 'Scissor' defeats his 'Paper', or in this case, his Immovable Cloak. Literally just imagining him as a piece of cloth 😂

Peak episode

Frieren and Ubel this episode 🔥🔥

to fight ubel... you must intro yourself as diamond and everything you own/wear as diamond plated stuff...XD

You already know where this is going... 👁️👄👁️ 👁️👄👁️

When Frieren said that basic attack spells are more than enough to defeat current era Mages she wasn't kidding, everything else in her arsenal is Overkill! If all mages have entered the chamber maybe only Denken, Fern and Methode could have survived.

Fern's clone can conceal its mana and fire instant death beams. It would be a horror show fighting that especially in a dungeon.

Sensational 🍊🍊🍊

I’m glad you’re on to ep27, my favorite in the entire series

Well, I think what Doppel-Frieren did was "telekinesis" (similar to the D&D spell), but instead of using mana, it uses mental power (however that's just a hypothesis)

PEAAAAAKKKK 💯🔥

if no one has noticed Flamme and Serie don't use staffs (just like the demons) to cast magic like everyone else does

ugh we have to wait to see that “attack” again from Frieren and what’s really it.

y'all gotta check out Wistoria Wand and Sword!! it'll fill your Frieren gap

that frieren means 80 years is it the eye magic thing or the nuclear one

Dont tell me I cant cut cloth, I watched my sister do it for years.

Why does the music remind me of The Witcher 😂

If you see what frieren can do.. imagin what Serie is able to do... that thought is realy scary

I JUST GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL... WHAT A TREAT AFTER A LONG DAY!!

the only way to know how powerful frieren is to have frieren vs frieren. Just to show how brutal those 10 years of journey and the final fight with the demon king when frieren needed all this cool spells to defeat him. and not even flamme or serie could defeat the demon king

ユーベルは悪者にされてるけど ちょっと倫理観がバグっているだけで 自分から殺してはない 盗賊に襲われたから殺した 不動の外套を殺したのも わざとではない だから私のユーベルをいじめないで😂

1st Class Mage Proctors: 1st class mages won't die from this etc. Also 1st Class Mage Proctors: If you somehow kill me you're disqualified.

17:34 YOU SHOULD CUT YOUR HAIR NOW!

Watch jujutsu kaisen

This will be a long post but here we go. Ubel's visualization is not exactly a talent as much as it is a mental disorder really. Consider this, when you see cloth for the first time you see it as simple fabric. Whether that cloth is thick or thin, it is still cloth and you assume it can be cut right? Now, imagine that that cloth is reinforced with carbon fibers or even thin metal rings. What would happen then? You identify the reinforcement and you know intellectually that this isn't just a simple piece of cloth anymore. It isn't something that can be cut with a pair of scissors and you will search for another way to bypass the new armor. That is the logical thing to do, that is what been able to identify a difference in a previous concept leads to. No matter the imagination you might have, there is no way a person would gaslight themselves into believing that a pair of scissors would be able to cut reinforced steel. That is what bewildered Sense. Ubel is doing exactly that. She knew that the cloak in front of her was tank level armor, she knew that anything she threw at it would do nothing to it, yet, she actually believed that what she saw in front of her was not reality and that it was a simple piece of fabric! I mean who does that? Even idiots that do the same attack again and again against a fortified position believe that the attack will eventually work because the previous attacks did some damage, not because they actually believe that the new attack will actually work on its own. Ubel literary has programmed in her soul a belief that if something is cloth or hair as a general concept, then that something can be cut period! It's not something that can be taught, its not that I will convince myself that I can do something. She actually perceives this as reality no matter that it objectively is not. And she actually knows it is not in an intellectual level. That is why Sense is horrified and calls her crazy and her ability a superpower. Because it is actually something that IS crazy and Ubel IS crazy. She isn't a real genius in the orthodox way of thinking. She is an anomaly. And that is where the limitation of her power comes from. She can cut anything she has identified as something that can be cut since she was a child. Meaning cloth, hair, flesh etc. She can't cut cleanly stone, steel or wood or anything else like that. Her attacks might do some damage, but those attacks would do as much damage as the force behind the attack, it will not bypass it completely like it would do to cloth or hair. But defensive spells such as the one used in the series is another thing entirely. The defensive spell used is a mana construct that its entire purpose is to block completely mana based attacks such as her signature spell. She learned this to be the truth when she first learned the spell and grew with that concept as an absolute truth and reality. She never had any other influence about this, so she can't convince herself that her attacks can actually bypass this defense which is why Wirbel defeated her. Her attacks were blocked and he is overall a better fighter with far more experience and talent like she herself admitted. As for Fern, while she is an impressive mage and will certainly grow even stronger with time and experience, she in not ready to face Frieren alone anytime soon. The episode cemented the fact that Fern could not face Frieren, she acted as an assassin the entire battle, waiting for the perfect opening in order to exploit it. The clone was focused on Frieren for the entire battle, and we were told in the episode by Frieren herself that some of the openings she created for Fern to exploit, Fern was not able to recognize and use, meaning that Fern is still lacking both in experience, skill and sheer strength. While she does have the potential to grow enough for her to defeat Frieren in the end, that is still many years down the road if it is even possible. In her current state, I would place her under Denken, Wirbel and Methode since I believe all three of them could win against her in a one on one battle. Denken because of his experience and knowledge. Wirbel because of his battle experience, versatility and his signature spell Sorganeil. Fern is a long range mage and does not know a lot about his magic, so it would be easy for him to place her in a position that he can see her whole body and trap her. And finally Methode is extremely versatile and has restrain magic that we were shown to be extremely effective against Fern, and it is implied in the episode that she defeated Fern's clone in a one on one battle already.

1:42 Yeah, this is one of the few big screw-ups by the director, I think. Literally everyone I've seen watch this thinks the fight ended at the end of the last episode and is confused when it continues in this one. They should have at least shown the duplicate surviving the attack or have Fern and Frieren comment on it.

Ubel solos Goku.

Lord of the Rings?
