You might like the Dwarf Shaman from Goblin Slayer. The most powerful mage in the party but keeps an axe handy and can sling stones like David vs Goliath.
Like that anime where the MC doesn't have mana but still joined a magic academy and easily passed the exam with muscle power, brute strength, and agility.
the fight was something therapeutic for those guys, you know they also releace frustation. that is why Denkken says something about understad the fact "they are not gonna give us the bird whit out fight"
@@nurlindafsihotang49 not dead hands thing but: "this bird cost us a friend we just cant give to you" the fight was until two of then get k.o not dead.
Denken looks like he's actually assuming a traditional bare knuckles boxing stance, suggesting that sometime in his long life, he's had actual training if fist fighting. It would help explain how he managed as a 78 year old man to beat a 20-something opponent.
I mean he had a lot of training when young. We will know more about him on season 2 sadly. But I can add something for funsies if you don't mind spoilers so... Spoilers: Basically speaking this dude is older that what you see, he was part of the royalty of a Kingdom that fell to the demon king strongest captain but not in the normal way. The whole reason he is taking this exam is to free the kingdom he hails from as everyone and everything became gold stuck in time and space by both the strongest magic barrier and the curse of said demon who was the partner in crime of the king. Said demon was his mentor and taught him a lot of stuff beyond magic like knighthood, etiquette and even bare fist fighting unfortunately the demon (who everyone taught was being controlled by the king while in reality it was just an act and both were in equal terms bound by a deal) being a demon he just regurgitated what he "learnt" from the humans making a very sad background story for Denken because he felt betrayed as he trusted the demon. The golden city arc is like the best Arc so far and you will see the most epic fights this work has to offer during that arc like no joke, Fern and Stark going full power is amazing, Frieren being Frieren and showing why she is the last Archmage is jaw dropping, even Denken fight is quite epic. Also The Golden City Arc is a info exposition tru and try. It explains really in depth both how magic, curses and demons work in the world of Frieren which is quite unique and sure the demon king was amazing, his captains were crazy as with the Gold Demon but there are things far scary in the demon world as basically Demons that did not follow the demon king and have no name are just insane. I cannot wait for that arc to be animated!!!!
Yeah ikr? Look at that underhanded upper cut. (I call it underhanded coz me made a fake body movement to punch left but changed his balance and goes for an upper cut, what an absolute move.)
Someone who’s that ready to scrap at that age probably fought a lot. I’d imagine a 20-30 year old mage wouldn’t do much physical fighting because why would you if you have magic? Also the demon king has been gone the whole time that kid has lived so he’s probably had it mostly peaceful.
I like how he told the girl to stay back even though she’s probably the best at physical combat out of all of them. He really decided that she was gonna be his granddaughter already lol
I know that Denken have killed many people to get to the top, but I see that he is a man of principle and common sense. It makes sense that he only killed those that need to be killed. His character development is amazing.
I love how he kept Laufen out of it even though she's technically the strongest physically. Man really wanted to throw hands. And keep his granddaughter safe.
This is what it's like to live in the northern plateau. Stark's past may seem sad to you, but if you live in dangerous lands, you have to be tough and combative. So he used his fists to the point where a southern wizard would have given up. Frieren may have more mana than Denken, but instead of continuing this point, she would leave the contest area as unnecessary.
@@B.B.Digital_Forest Frieren did not leave the peaceful southern lands for 80 years. The demons terrorized Himmel for 30 years after his death. Frieren earned her nickname as the murderer after Himmel pushed her.
@@B.B.Digital_ForestFrieren is humanity's detterence against demons. Give another millenia and people would forget about the hero party, but not her. Her beef against demons started long before, can't see how it would end anytime soon.
Denken is DESIGNED to be approved of by the audience. By virtue of reading her story, it's assumed you approve of Frieren and parts of her ideology. Denken is both acknowledged and approved of by Frieren because of his "not worth killing people over" and "the joy of magic is in looking for it" mentality. Transative, we're supposed to approve of Denken ourselves. On top of that, the mage-who-throws-hands is a beloved trope as demonstration of commitment to a goal even without the help of magic (extra here, because he's being honorable and caring in this case, overtly picking this fight to spare the men future embarrassment and regret.) Denken is a buffet of admirable action over his episodes.
This bit got me laughing so hard and immediately changed my opinion on Denken. Genuinely well-written character and enough charisma, intelligence, and a sprinkling of manliness to make him a man's man
At first I thought I'd hate Denken. He seemed like a cynical old bastard. But now I see that he's a true man. A bit cold at times, but I can't not respect a mage that knows how to throw hands.
Denken is my favourite character now fr Btw the subtitles are wrong. Denken engaged in a fistfight knowing it wouldn’t feel right for them to give him the bird. They were frustrated, Denken gave them the option to rage out.
I want to believe that Richter and the Armor dude didn't fight. Richter probably couldn't take a punch and the dude in Armor was emotionally broken seeing as he was crying at the lost of the third teammate, most likely a friend. The fight was just Denken and the dude that was holding the bird. He had the eyes of someone dead inside. A friend may have died, he's out of mana, has a huge target on them(the bird), something that would easily have other teams kill him for. So I bet he fought like hell till his body said no more despite his mind wanting to fight even though Denken was clearly going to win.
“I was left without magic but not without options” I LOVE this grandpa 😂
Any mage that can also use the “square up MF!” spell has my respect
Indeed!
How tf do I see you everywhere? Like how?
Any mage worth their salt aught to know how to cast FIST
You might like the Dwarf Shaman from Goblin Slayer. The most powerful mage in the party but keeps an axe handy and can sling stones like David vs Goliath.
Denken really said "There is no plan, we're jumping these guys"
but that's the plan
I like the opponent side also knew what will boil down and go with it. No negotiating, but silently agree to slug it out until one win
Thats how men are build
They were also out of mana and lost one of their members in other words they failed anyway at least they could have a last stand in old fashion
The masculine urge to win a fist fight...
Using ol'reliable . The fist
Because peace never an option
Denken knows Tricep magic as well.
Denken never skip protein shake schedule
Denken 'bout to knock the stuffing outta those guys
Like that anime where the MC doesn't have mana but still joined a magic academy and easily passed the exam with muscle power, brute strength, and agility.
@@josefernandez4423
That's because Earth magic scales with strength.
he got that mike tyson build as well
Magic is about visualization.
His fist is also him visualizing 😂
"Let me visualize your beat up face with this hands."
"Now visualize this beatdown."
"Out of Mana so we need talk with Our Fist"
"I unga, therefore I bunga."
Denken, probably.
*translates to English*
"I'm a fruit, therefore I'm a fruit"
-The thought, probably
Sometimes instead of monk one must be monke
"Played football on magic school you know"
Could've gone pro if I didn't run as an imperial mage.
I could break the demon king in 2 with my bare hands
Don’t f*ck with this Imperial Mage!
NANOMANA SON
Now all we need is a femboy with plot armor
"I cannot raise the undeads, but I can raise these hands"
I actually love how the skinny guy was more ready to throw down then the muscley guy. I feel bad for them for losing a close friend it seems
The muscley one seems going for Richter, who (they think) looks stronger than Denken
the fight was something therapeutic for those guys, you know they also releace frustation. that is why Denkken says something about understad the fact "they are not gonna give us the bird whit out fight"
@@lazzy0dogwould you? After all you lost including a dead friend. Only way to take that bird is from their dead cold hands
@@nurlindafsihotang49 not dead hands thing but: "this bird cost us a friend we just cant give to you" the fight was until two of then get k.o not dead.
This is such a juxtaposition from the flashy magic fights to just have a yakuza style down-to-earth fistfight!
"You're a man arent you?"
geniuenly pissed that we didn't get to see it but at the same time just cutting on that line is hilarious.
Yakuza style down fight got me and captured perfectly XD
@@muff1nat0rI feel like they did it dirty here. In the Manga it legit has the yakuza atmosphere then it cut the panel.
Denken was like "thank you master Mash for teaching me your spells"

This grandpa is my second favorite character in this series. He will be your favorite too after you hear his story
He is very likable. He is already our favorite.
@@josefernandez4423 Then, you're gonna like him even more
Yep, his later arc is probably my favorite
he's the embodiment of how man should be
golden castle arc will boost his fans even more lol
I like how he told the girl to stay back even though she’s probably the best at physical combat out of all of them. He really decided that she was gonna be his granddaughter already lol
Maybe partially, but he did tell her to stay hidden, and actually steal the bird, rather than rely solely on the outcome of the fistfight.
I know that Denken have killed many people to get to the top, but I see that he is a man of principle and common sense. It makes sense that he only killed those that need to be killed. His character development is amazing.
spoiler: his character development is not halfway finished yet
Denken is involve on the best arc in the manga. Chad denken
When I read this initially, I started crying I laughed so hard.
Denken: Out of mana but not out of options
Sometimes you just need to cast fist.
“RUN EM HANDS, PUT YO PAWS UP, HOMMIE” - Denken, probably
This is why Frieren is a masterpiece.
It went from Harry potter to Mashle in one episode. I love denken
Denken's favourite subject at Hogwarts was potions, because it enabled him to brew his own protein shakes.
"Allow me to escort you....
to the ground"
~ Denken probably
‘Dat old man ain’t no joke there, dog!
I love that not only did Denken decide to square up, but he also immediately hit a perfect uppercut to start the fight off
In the end, even without mana, we are still sorcerers, but this time, I CAST FIST!
I may be out of mana but im not out of options fool - Denken
Denken wasn't even trying to sugarcoat it.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
R1 + ▶️
DAAMNNN 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
"I cast Mage hands."
"Uh?"
"COME AND CATCH THESE ROUNDS!"
Never underestimate the old man who worked on a job where young men die
The pursuit of magic is the joy itself but sometimes you have to smash your way through I guess
Denken: if you caught that bird sure you can catch these hands
Denken: "Out of mana, hm? Then I cast FIST!!"
*I CAST F I S T*
I love that Denken is like "I WANT SMOKE, ALWAYS."
His uppercut is immaculate. Like Sendo's smasher in hagime no ippo.
Seriously,you can't hate this old man
Denken: "This spell requires no mana. I cast...
SCHLAGEN!"
Denken: I'm out of mana, but not out of options
Man didn't sugarcoat it
I love how he kept Laufen out of it even though she's technically the strongest physically.
Man really wanted to throw hands. And keep his granddaughter safe.
I was laughing too hard the first time I saw this i was expecting denken to say “fist of flowing water crushing rock!” 😅😊
He boutta catch those hands cuz Denken casts THESE HANDS
I need a gif denken with sub saying I CAST FIST
Denken: Mana ❌ Man Up ✅
Richer: so what’s the plan Denken?
Denken: you got the other guy
They already lost and was clinging to that bird for whatever pride they had left. Go out swinging.
He went from Second Class mage, to Muscle Wizard.... He casts Fists.
That guy ran directly into an uppercut
Denken: you can parry my spells, but you arent parrying THESE HANDS

So he used his fists to the point where a southern wizard would have given up. Frieren may have more mana than Denken, but instead of continuing this point, she would leave the contest area as unnecessary.
That difference in attitude will show how one is chosen as a First Class Mage. But remember that Frieren is called 'The Slayer' by the demonkind.

I just love Denken
Can we all admire how pops was going for the nastiest uppercut we’ve seen in an anime a good bit
it goes from Harry Potter to Tekken
It was at this point I yelled out, "You crazy bastard! Go for it! Hell yeah!"
i fucking loved this scene
Denken is one badass of a character. He has an amazing story arc later in the manga.
He is like a hero out of a fairytale.
Denken knows Glenn's Anti Magic "Magical Punch"
Can we appreciate the beyond powerful yet smooth animation when Denken is taking off his coat ??? 😮😮😮😂😂😂
This bit got me laughing so hard and immediately changed my opinion on Denken. Genuinely well-written character and enough charisma, intelligence, and a sprinkling of manliness to make him a man's man
😂😂😂😂 dude just went full on battle mage.
Always fear the people willing to throw hands in a world of magic.
A damn GIGACHAD
tbh i would be the kinda mage to have strength as the second stat😂
Earth magic *knuckle dusters* sounds deadly...
A spellcasting berserker is a terrifying thing.
Denken casted right hook
殴り合うと言う選択、作中最も熱い男だ。
Roses are red,
My mana is empty,
This hands can do plenty
This reminds of the mages in Raya Lucaria cause they hit you with a book if you get too close like "I'mma beat you up with KNOWLEDGE! ".
Men will always be men
"I cast Fist."
My man really said „let‘s cast fist“ 😂
This is the most badass character i have seen
Denken is a Giga Chad.
And they say levelling up strength as a mage was dumb idea.
Brother really said I'm out of mana but not options.
All that's missing is an announcer crying out "MORTAL KOMBAT" while a badass theme song plays.
The fact that he won the fight too was nice
At first I thought I'd hate Denken. He seemed like a cynical old bastard. But now I see that he's a true man. A bit cold at times, but I can't not respect a mage that knows how to throw hands.

The plan is catch this fade
Some wise man said Denken's fist is rated E for everyone
We’re outta mana alright. But we ain’t outta options.
Denken was out of mana, but never out of options
Don't worry, I've got a 0 MP spell left. It's called "check these guns".
no mana but aint no options
Looked like denken was about to throw the SMASSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH from sendo lol
In my headcanon, Denken followed up that uppercut with a Dempsey Roll to finish the fight.
Mage hand ❌
Mage's hands ✅
Me quedé sin magia, no son opciones!!!Me recordó algunas partidas de D&D que e tenido hahaha
