Quall was clearly on a league of his own though. The man saw how they countered his spell, analyzed it and quickly developed a mildly effective countermeasure against it just by working the thinker for a few seconds. Had he not been spawn killed, Quall would have quickly snowballed into a menace in a very short time.
It's stated later the demons dedicate their lives to a unique field of study. Human with much more limited time had already outdone him by 76 years. His spell is also the baseline, so there're much powerful spells as well.
@@Krab17 only because he was sealed away and could those no longer improve and innovate. they took near 80 years to unravel simply what he had already done, we see later how he is already able to start adapting to this after the very first time seeing it. had he been active for this entire 80 years they'd never have caught up
@@Krab17 Bruh is calling Newton unimpressive just cause we have things much more complex than Calculus. Imagine if Newton has timetravelled into modern times abd went through college to catch up. Or Einstein since he wasn't as long ago as Flamme. What could they achieve with the new knowledge we have discovered since they died?
Can we talk about the fact that Frieren talks with Qual with respect unlike she does with the rest of his kind? He must be a saint compared to most demons.
Basically is a fellow "coworker" from the same speciality: magic. She knew his power, his knowledge, and his skill in developing magic with only his mind compared to the magic international community. Imagine battling vs the magic equivalent of the SS scientist that created the u2 rocket. Even if he did it wrong, you cant just see him as useless, so it makes sense to have some sort of respect.
Well, in fairness, he is a Genius who was ahead of his time. His magic served as a new base line for others. It can be said that he has immortalized himself in history, so he deserves some respect even if he is an evil demon.
Qual wasnt listening either. He was just analyzing Fern defense and coming with counter measures, thats why when Frieren uses soultrack he looks all surprised.
Some people asked at the time, "why risk chatting with Qual, why not just nuke him immediately when he's unsealed?" And Frieren absolutely could have done that. But she wanted to a) use Qual as a practical test of Fern's defensive magic and b) really, *really* rub it in Qual's face that humankind stole his magic and uses it against demons now.
@@0doublezero0 Eh, Serie is strong in terms of Mana, but Frieren is stronger in terms of technical/analytical ability. Decoding Machts gold magic is proof of that.
@@Imadumbdoodoohead In terms of combat experience and mana Serie is far stronger. Just because Frieren decoded Macht's magic doesn't mean Serie couldn't have done it either. WIthout the decoding ability, Serie faired far better again Macht than Freiren did. There were 11 people who can beat Frieren and this was outright stated by Frieren herself.
@@Imadumbdoodoohead No. Serie even said Frieren, as a mage, is a bit unskilled relative to her age. Serie could have killed Macht in numerous different ways if she took their fight seriously.
I like Qual. He doesn't panic, or become frantic. He is also probably very aware that there would not be two people waiting for him the moment his seal breaks unless they had adequately prepared to defeat or reseal him. He is interested and impressed at being witness to a new magical power, quickly hypothesizes a weakness that could be exploited, and attempts to do so. Instead of a single powerful blast, he tries multiple attacks at different angles, hoping to either exhaust his opponent's ability to block, or get lucky if they miss one.
That and Frieren really, really hates demons. Killing Qual with a version of his own spell right after he got to see his version of it get hard countered was not a sign of respect, it was her way of flexing on him. She does this to several other demons during their travels.
It's how Gojo teaches Yuji about domain expansion. The only difference is she didn't let him live and he didn't later conveniently off a rival clan head shortly after she gets sealed
This is quite realistic even for the modern warfare,like the constant balance between anti-tank weaponry and tank armor,if you put a modern tank/anti-tank against their counterpart from 80 years ago they will be so vastly superior it wouldn’t even be fair. The anime captured well this sense of progression and how something revolutionary becomes the new normal overtime.
Welp, the thing is, many things in modern warfare are glass cannons. So like, mid tier defense is efficient, but a good example would be bulletproof vests. There are vests that can protect from .50 BMG but due to their structure, they are somewhat downgrade against lower caliber, because they are one time use. Same with explosive reactive armour and etc.
Yup, that’s half of it. The other point is how fast humans can do this and that’s because we don’t live long lives so there’s a sense of urgency as compared to long lived species like demons/elves.
@@Kuwagumo - The only anime (that I can remember) where that made sense was 'The Strongest Mage with the Weakest Crest' but that was only because they outright said the demons were sabotaging the system against the humans. It may have also been in 'The Misfit of Demon Academy'; but the MC was so OP it was hard to tell. There may have been others, but with so many fantasy/magic animes out there, it's hard to keep track.
It shows how much of a genius Qual is when, from a glimpse, he learns how to use defensive magic and in just a few seconds comes out with a plan to deal with it, even though that was a spell specificaly designed for years to deal with his attack. Imagine what a beast this guy would be today if he wasn't frozen in time for 80 years.
Ancien powerful magic users are always OP when they come back in stories But if magic truly worked like science, that would be a more accurate result. There's no such thing as "someone who was so good no one did it again" in developpment, if you're great then everyone will copy you and build on your legacy to make something better
In most stories, those ancient magics required stupid amounts of magic to pull off. The ancient sorcerers who used those magics had massive amounts of magical resources to pull on. So it’s not that the modern magi couldn’t copy the ancient magics, they just couldn’t fuel them with their own comparatively minuscule resources, so they gave up on them and settled for things that were more within their reach. And by the time things like mana storage devices were developed, the ancient magics were just legendary stories. There’s also the fact that ancient mages weren’t interested in sharing their secrets with others. This kind of advancement requires collaborative efforts and collective goals.
Idk, in the brief time free before his death he deduces the flaw in new defensive magic and would of overwelmed Fern if Frieren hadn't finshed charaging her blast, if he wasn't ganked by Frieren & Fern he probably would of developed a new version of Zoltdraak to further exploit the weakness of the new shielding magic
Development isn’t a line that always goes forward and up tbh. Sometimes we end up making stupid things when older things are already better than it. Like horses vs cars. Horses are faster and efficient but greedy people brainwash us to think we’re modern and everything we have now is better than what’s been in the past. Or even bicycles.
@@coltonwilliams4153 Yes but that logic basically only exist in fictional magic. There is no equivalent in real life to a genetic huge reserve of power that somehow dissapeared. Of course geniuses play key role in pushing forward progress, but in fantasy stories the amount of power a single genius has compared to the collective effort of every modern researcher is always greatly exagerated. People like Descartes or Pythagoras operated in times when only a select few could afford to spend so much time on research, and even Einstein didn't figure out everything by himself and worked in collaboration with many other talented scientists. So yeah if magic is supposed to be a metaphor for power or science, then the idea of superior ancestors who would crush everyone if they came back has no real life equivalent.
It speaks volumes about this guy that his response to seeing his unstoppable spell blocked for the first time ever was to be impressed instead of frightened or enraged.
A true practitioner of the magical arts, and a demon of magic theory and science. Had he lived he probably would've wiped out humanity in those 80 years.
Frieren smoked that guy the instant he became unfrozen because she knew it'd only take a couple days for him to catch back up to everyone else and become a terror again.
@@RMSolitayreseeing how he immediately was able to recreate the defensive magic that took 80 years of research to create, yeah, frieren needed him dead asap
It's not the fact that he become the baseline for offensive magic is impressive, it's the fact the whole of humanity has come together and made sure that he becomes the baseline which is pretty darn impressive. And it even took a better part of a century to make it happen too.
more like what you spent months of grinding for the best gear spending all this gold just for your friend who just started the game to get the same gear from a chest.
We know now that Qrall's plan to simply burn through Fern's mana to defeat her defensive shield wasn't going to work. Fern was hiding her mana here too, to bait Qrall into that strategy in the first place.
She does that full time, same as Frieren who was taught by her master to do it so that they could take demons by surprise. Fern's concealment is actually so good that the oldest living Elf, Frieren's master's master, had to make an effort to measure her magic strength and was suprised at her control of it.
Not quite. We know from the training sequence with Frieren that the defensive spell is a struggle to maintain even for Fern, and in battle it did start to fall apart before Frieren fired off her modified Zoltraak. At this point, she would have been depleted long before he did.
more like what you spent months of grinding for the best gear spending all this gold just for your friend who just started the game to get the same gear from a chest.
You can see Fern exhausted at the end of the fight. She may have held out longer than Qual would have thought possible, but she certainly couldn't have much longer.
Frieren did NOT have to roast that demon so hard, considering how they just consider words a means to deceive other races, *yet she made a point that he would first learn how insignificant his ultimate spell became, before she would destroy him.*
I'm not sure about that. In a sense she offered the greatest compliment possible. His magic became the standard for all attack magic. He shaped the very concept of offensive magic. It'd be like expecting the Wright Brothers to be offended because humanity eventually invented jets.

It’s quite crazy as to how your favorite signature move that you’ve invented, developed, and mastered over the years has gone from being an all powerful and unstoppable skill to somewhat of a fashion trendsetting technique. Man, it’s quite a bad final day for Qual, huh?
@@lello2031. Bit of both, really. It means his magic is no longer rare, no longer unique, no longer signature- now it’s merely ‘common’. On the other hand, that fact that this demon dude redefined decades of magical progress all on his own is all kids of impressive.
I will watch this video over and over again not only because I love Frieren but also in hopes that the guy who named this video at CrunchyRoll gets a raise.
To put it simply, Qual created the equivalent of the Nuclear Bomb in Frieren's world. It was a spell capable of destroying entire armies but nowadays all the academics have studied how it worked and what could deflect/dispell it so its not longer a weapon of mass destruction.
@@quitw18it was the equivalent in terms of how revolutionary and destructive it was. As an analog, it is perfectly sound. The only difference is that they successfully developed countermeasures, whereas we have not.
Qual's Offensive magic was as revolutionary to magic as Calculus was gor our understanding of maths and physics. Now, it is common for millions of 16 year olds to pass or even excel at calculus.
Qual was a monster of a mage. Within seconds of being released he figures out the weakness of this new counter to his spell then begins to attack with little zoltrakks until he notices that one shield breaks so he switches to try and overpower it with a massive blast.
Ok, this is really cool and impressive world building, but whats stopping him from developing a stronger spell to bypass or destroy the defensive magic? Besides him dying of course
Absolutly nothing. It probably contributed to why Frieren released him on her terms. She used a "kick him while he's down cause it amuses me" approach so she wouldn't have a "got up and tried again" enemy to deal with later.
Nothing. You can even see that he already analyzed the defensive spell in a couple of seconds to determine its weakness. That's why it was imperative that they ended him then and there. If he was allowed to live, he could have very quickly developed even stronger piercing magic and be a serious threat to humanity.
Because it doesn't matter what type of blast spell he develops, the defensive magic attunes to it and absorbs it all the same. The only solution apart from rapid fire to exhaust the defenders mana reserves or slip through the cracks that he could have come up with, is the one we see in the testing arc: Making magic that controls physical objects and slamming those into the barriers.
This is one of the modt ingenious parts. Old magic isn't powerful but outdated. Cleaning spells however will always stay relevant and thus are legendary. Nothing to add. Writing at it's finest.
Damn, that sounds depressing for what i assume is some sort of ultimate magic monster. You get put into a coma at the top of your game and you wake up and everyone is just better than you
Pretty much. Which is a cool mix of fantasy cliches with "reality", usually ancient magic is super powerful and secretive, but in the Frieren series the characters were able to decipher ancient magic and build upon it. It's a nice little gimmick. Still, the series does show a ancient mage as this most powerful being, there's some inconsistencies here and there, derivative storytelling
The atomic bomb and his magic have something in common, both were dangerous and feared at the time but both became weak compared to what can be done now
Who sees the Atomic Bomb as Weak?? The Invention of the Tank would be a way better example, it was very dangerous when the brits Developed it but was improved became the norm after that

That… and the fact that Fern slacked off on her homework so Frieren had to show her in person.

Nah I'm good
It is funny to think that the only reason Frieren even bothers to talk with Qual is because this with was a tutorial for Fern.
Qual wasnt listening either. He was just analyzing Fern defense and coming with counter measures, thats why when Frieren uses soultrack he looks all surprised.
@@ChaosAngel667 I think he gets surprised because he realises that they've altered his spell into making it a demon-killing spell as we see later
Guy made a spell so powerful it redefined the meta and had to be powercrept. What a legend of a man.
Demon, you mean.
And he nearly figured out some counter measures after just looking at the new meta for a few seconds, the demon is a menace.
And if he knew that frieren knew his spell he would have blocked that attack
This scene hits so much harder once you realize how strong Frieren really is.
It hits even harder when you realize she isn't the strongest in the series and she somehow beat the demon king.

So... Frieren could've demoished him in half a second, but she turned it into a history lesson cause Fern didn’t read the damn book?
That and Frieren really, really hates demons. Killing Qual with a version of his own spell right after he got to see his version of it get hard countered was not a sign of respect, it was her way of flexing on him. She does this to several other demons during their travels.

Nice title for a sick clip. This anime is just great!
Would be like a world cup winner from the 1930s trying to play Madrid of today. The game has evolved so much they'd get slaughtered 20-0
This is one of the modt ingenious parts. Old magic isn't powerful but outdated. Cleaning spells however will always stay relevant and thus are legendary.
Nothing to add. Writing at it's finest.
Advanced magic came from Qual inventing Zoltraak just as Quantum physics came from issac Newton discovering gravity, Qualtum Physics
I never would've described it that way but that's a great way of describing it lol
"Times change." -Garrosh Hellscream
This reminds me that story about why Ultima was so weak and inefficient in the Famicom version of Final Fantasy II.
This makes it sound like a LitRPG
Came here just to compliment the title, for whoever did that. Good job.
Did Garnt came up with the title? It sounded like something he'd say.
This is the equivalent of raising the level cap in MMO :D
Damn, that sounds depressing for what i assume is some sort of ultimate magic monster. You get put into a coma at the top of your game and you wake up and everyone is just better than you
Learning you kickstarted a revolution in your field could be an honor, depending on how he sees his technique
*pulls out a pistol*
"I invented this!"
*pulls out a nuke*
"That's cute."
this is basically yeah that spell you devoted your life to is a basic cantrip now, here's a real spell. FWAMP!!!
computer science student here, magic is like programming.
When Final Boss is powercreeped into a trashmob.
When you life comes a footnote in history:
This was the moment I realized I was going to like this anime.
every demon we saw: human like, really beautiful looking
Qual: F.that... i am a tru 3 meter tall demon with horns and all... you will fear me!
Magic power can be increased with time. 🎉
And Frieren remade it into demon killing spell, what a way to humiliate Qual even after his death.
Guess this is equivalent to the guy who invented gun powder. Only to come back to people with bulletproof vests and RPGs
Pretty much. Which is a cool mix of fantasy cliches with "reality", usually ancient magic is super powerful and secretive, but in the Frieren series the characters were able to decipher ancient magic and build upon it. It's a nice little gimmick. Still, the series does show a ancient mage as this most powerful being, there's some inconsistencies here and there, derivative storytelling
Teaching Fern the dangers of powercreep
Can't wait to get this DVD
"When your Strategy becomes the New Meta" yeah, that sounds like Yu-Gi-Oh Players win a brand new Archetype shows up!
Most roundabout way of saying "you basic."
When you get so op that the game devs nerf you in particular
Man got powercrept 💀
his strat became meta and mainstream so the devs had to nerf it in the patches while we was offline
Imagine being one of the greatest mages of your time only to be reduced to a tutorial
Qaal is like one of those old guys who wants to program everything in COBOL.
Difficult Boss battle becomes tutorial battle
Am i the only one who thought that Frieren should have helped Fern more, here?
When Jackal Pup meets Ragavan
Qual: F*ck! I knew I should have patented it. Could've been rich af now....
Love this!
These titles bro hahaha
You wouldn't be confused if you just read your damn history book, Fern!
title-kun at it again
when you havn played an mmo for a few months and your op gear you spent hours obtaining is obsolete
I’d be so mad if I was Qual 😂
makes you wonder how we handle nukes.
Still doesn't make them any less dangerous lol
Good.
yo I think titles for this anime woud be better if they would be more serius :D
Ngl if I was Qual I'd be fighting for my royalty checks.
Title Maker strikes again!!!
Awesome Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Video.
Luh calm fit
The passage of time makes fools of us all
Quando a desgraça vira objeto de pesquisa científica...
The atomic bomb and his magic have something in common, both were dangerous and feared at the time but both became weak compared to what can be done now
Who sees the Atomic Bomb as Weak?? The Invention of the Tank would be a way better example, it was very dangerous when the brits Developed it but was improved became the norm after that
Resumindo oq a Frieren disse: Qual, tu virou um bucha.
It's the Fosbury flop, all over again.
Mage diff'd
