So I’m convinced the magic she hasn’t used in 80 years in undetectable to mana recognition and that’s how they beat the demon king was hitting him with manages magic then himself beheads him
Someone try to convince me that the manga is better than the anime at this point. I can’t find anything the manga does better than the anime, not even the art which 90% of the time the manga does better than the anime.
@@yashaoftheflames8475 just a guess but I think while the demon killing one when fired at humans only hurts them like when Fern beats Ehre. But this human killing one, it vaporizes if not properly defended.
There is an important world building lore that is revealed by Ubel and Sense about spell casting. Basically, it takes a spellcaster visualizing appropriately how they would use their spell to cause an effect. And then the spellcaster manipulates their mana to get their spell to that effect. Assuming the mage has proficient mana control, a mage who can think outside the box and process information unlike your average person, they basically have a superpower. Because at the end of the day, spell casting is playing mind games. If a mage can’t visualize cutting through rocks, their spell would fail against rock manipulation spell casters. But if they can visualize a rock being split in half, then it’s game over. Also, Ubel needing to empathize with someone to learn a spell shows that she is an intuitive caster, making her a de-facto sorcerer, instead of a wizard.
Basically, Ubel is Queen who makes great songs based on feelings, and mages are music majors who tend to do things by the book, limiting their creativity and understanding of music. They say members of Queen didn't necessarily understand music theory but they understood music itself.
It’s what makes what Frieren did the height of magic, that wasn’t a mere spell, that was outright creation or manipulation of reality. A visualization so perfect that mana couldn’t even be sensed, almost as if it were an act of the world itself and not a magic caster. I’m not caught up to the manga so I’m not sure if that’s the only thing she can do like that or if in that state she can visualize anything. If it’s anything than at that moment she’s comparable to a god. Truly the pinnacle of all magic if that was the case
From what we see here, that move has a serious flaws. It’s rooted the caster so unless she have her *cough cough OP as hell party back in the day, she would never succeed in killing the Demon King.
@@KhoiNguyen-xv4jdIt doesn't root her in place. It's just raw conceptual magic. In a 1v1 is really strong. But it leaves you wide open to anyone else's attack
@@KuroiHoshiV Yeah, it isn’t literally rooted her but it does force her to stay in one spot so she can maintain focus on the spell, this is literally the spell Hold Person in Dnd with addiction of you can’t move and that is dangerous especially when Demons are some of the fastest creatures in Frieren and the Hero Party was already been fighting Calamity General by the end of their journey so use a spell that basically force you stay in place is kind of death sentence if you don’t have backup and luckily for her, she does. Hell, Eisen alone stopped one the physically stronger Calamity General before, Heiter straight up resist most type of mental magic and Himmel is well HIM.
@@KhoiNguyen-xv4jdI thought it was the real frieren that casted that rooting spell on the clone? It makes sense, why would a eye blast ability have such a strange side effect of rooting its user? lol
"I haven't been forced to use that move in 80 years" implying the last time Frieren used that move was against the Demon King is 🔥🔥🔥 Frieren is a literal living legend, but Fern is a PROBLEM
Lol not really. For Frieren, Fern is like an ant nibbling on her toes. The clone will vaporize her on the first salvo. And even with armless clone, it was still able to put up barriers, and Fern be like Gojo did to Hanami, blood paint on the wall.
@@TAKAMI-jk6fw For real. But clone Frieren did underestimate Fern, that's why she had to take her seriously and used that "spell" (I feel like it wasn't even a spell, but something greater than magic since it used no mana). Fern is still no match against Frieren (and the clone), but clone Frieren acknowledged Fern as a legitimate threat. And OG Frieren is impressed by Fern as she forced the clone to use a "spell" last used against the Demon King.
And if you think about it, it reflects what Seire told her: "You'll either die by the Demon King or a Human Mage". First she was forced to use that thing against the Demon King and now a human mage.
Clone Frieren: "Look Mom! No hands!" Also, the guy in green was the guy who didn't want to work together before they went into the dungeon, he gave Denken shit.
It is implicated in the manga that Mages are masters of emotion and concentration as even their fellow mages, especially demons can sense subtle shift in mana which is affected by emotions. That is how Lawine can sense Richter is panicking in the first test. That is why almost every mages fight while having poker faces (at least in the manga). The test is more about adapting and adjusting, that your competitor/enemy yesterday can be your ally today and vice versa. Those who failed have high principle and moral or can't control their views in given situations.
It’s especially funny, because when Fern said that, the real Frieren was like, “Oh is that what you think? I wanna see this.” It sounded like approval, but in retrospect you realize it was shade. 😂😂😂
@@AmericanIlluminati i do feel both Frieren AND Sense were just mocking them inside their heads 🤣 like "these people can't do shit against my clone, but let's see them try"
@@knodel2378Fern should actually be a bad match-up for Frieren: she innately fast, and control is her specialty. That's why she was the one able to use that "weakness" from Frieren. Yet, the difference in skill overall is too great (not to mention the mana, but she will never be able to catch up in that regard according to Frieren, because of the limited lifespan). But Fern is very young, I believe they said she was the youngest third rate mage ever. An adult Fern could make use of that match-up advantage against Frieren. Ubel and Fern are the 2 characters with the most possible growth imho, like two Flamme born in the same era. Or mayeb I'm just hyping myself. Maybe Ubel could even become a vilain.
Absolutely speechless how Frieren’s clone just conjured a literal blackhole. The way it distorts the screen so much that it gives you the feel that it’s actually bending space is so cool. Frieren is so fire this episode was peak!
Towards the end of the battle, reality breaks and there's shards of "glass" floating around, and distorting the colors of everything they pass over. It's insane the amount of different visual effects they included in this one battle.
@@nahomthegeek4014 Fern probably not. There are heroes that are immune to conventional attacks and definitely some heroes that can tank Zoltraak. Fern's too specialized as an anti-mage mage to be insanely broken in MHA. Her greatest skill in mana suppression isn't relevant.
The last scene was amazing. I really enjoy how combat evolves throughout the anime. I speculate real Frieren built up some cosmic magic, but clone Frieren realizes it's an actual threat and she needs to dispel it. The glass breaking is very similar to when Frieren broke the barrier. Clone Frieren broke the magic real Frieren was conjuring, possibly because defensive magic wouldn't be enough. Once dispelled, this gave clone Frieren time to build up mana for Zoltraak, where the rest of the scene plays accordingly. It's the subtle resemblance to the barrier scene that I love. We're able to tie in past knowledge to speculate all that is happening now.
The guy in green who broke his bottle is the guy that went into the Labyrinth alone at the beginning of the trial since he didn't trust anyone. We've hardly seen him since so it's not strange you didn't recognize him, there was just a brief cut of him hiding terrified an episode or two ago. We don't know what the heck Frieren clone did at the end there but it was something past the comprehension of an ordinary mage. Lots of speculation that instead of creating an effect by directing mana, she basically willed the rules of reality itself to change - gravity works like THIS for you now! - without casting. Basically a minor miracle, a godlike power.
Fern looking down in contempt at Frieren getting stuck in that Mimic when there’s two already opened and disintegrating ones right next to them is insane
Since the theme of the episode was that the secret to magic was the power of imagination and to visualize it into reality, we can assume that the move that Frieren(?) did was literally willing magic into action and to manifest phenomena, without any sort of chanting, gesture, magic catalyst, etc. Since Frieren said that she has not done that in 80 years then the fight against the Demon King must have been some dope reality warping shit
Übel is crazy because not only did she have to imagine cutting the cloak, but through the guy’s body as well. Her ability is powerful because she thinks about slicing people up ALL THE TIME.
HUGE shoutout to the Vercreek and Saucelot combo on this episode... those guys are the future generation superstar animators. They continue to produce some of the best looking cuts on any show they work on. First it was Saucelot on JJK S2 Ep 17 and now Vercreek on this episode.
The dude getting out w the golem was the man who was saying teamwork is meaningless to Denken at the start of the test 💀 Showed him hiding from a replica 1 or 2 episodes ago too lmao
Ngl if Frieren was doing that kinda stuff against the demon king, I gotta see the rest of the party. Edit: Also the person who used their golem I'm assuming is the guy that went in by himself.
Theres a... Lets call it a flash back arc, yeah, the heroes party was built DIFFERENT especially himmel, though the hero os the south is still stronger then all of them.
lmao himel basically helped kill the demon lord with a fake ass sword,thats insanity bro, he fought all hes life by being nerfed, cant even imagine him having the hero sword.
@@lucylucian2564 He even refused to get a better sword deadass, a blacksmith offered to get him a sword worth his title as a hero, but he declined, and just got his fake sword sharpened.
I think the last attack from Frieren's clone is Frieren somehow changing gravity by manipulating the fabric of reality. Fern doesn't see it as a spell because it's literally a change in the fundamentals of physics, namely the direction and strength of gravity. Since it's a change of reality, you can't defend against it because you can't imagine fighting against the concept of up and down.
11:41 remember the dude who was like, "I ain't need no help, I can do it by myself!" And then was shown curled up in a ball like last episode? He was also shown in the tub in the episode before the second phase. Yeah, the guy getting ran out was that guy
In that flashback conversation, Frieren wasn't talking about Fern taking the hit. It really was about *her* taking a hit. However, during the fight itself, Frieren realized that Fern can't pull it off. "I'll have to do it myself." She underestimates Fern, which would be true for the replica too. But I think Frieren just didn't expect her replica to pull out that spell she hasn't used in 80 years.
The Magic combat against the Clones in this episode with its animation is fantastic & that Mimics scene at the end 😂, & a fun fact when Frieren destroy the Spiegel in the manga she used a giant explosion spell to destroy it rather than a simple shattering spell
The spell Frieren's clone used on Fern to blast her away was last used 80 years ago, that means she have to use that againts The Demon King, and it was 4 goats going at him, that should give us a good estimation about his power
Regarding Ubel killing the proctor - of course they're not going to arrest her. The whole test was firing offensive magic at the guy, so it would make no sense to punish someone for for being really good at that. And her own behavior makes it clear that killing him was unintentional. She's described as inexperienced, so maybe she didn't know her own strength, but I doubt she went into that exam planning to fail. On a possibly related note, she was practicing her magic on bandits shortly before the 1st-class exams started.
It was just some random background character, that's why someone at the very end is just like, "Uh.. Who are you?" when that last escape golem arrives lmao Even the characters we do care about were confused.
I love the way magic is portrayed in this series. We dont get gibberish screamed at us before every spell is cast. Just gorgeous animation and quick fight resolution.
The guy with the golem you couldn't identify was the Mage that refused to work with anyone in the beginning of the test, and went in alone. Also, i do not believe Frieren planned on Fern getting hit with that spell. She just trusted Fern to use the opening Frieren made in general. That's what i think.
a theory i'm really liking is that the move Clone Frieren used to push Fern away is the same spell Flamme used in the flashback when she just met Frieren. Flamme didn't use any staff, didn't seem to do any particular movement, we just see a quiet shockwave from afar and then it shows that she cleaved an entire hill Not to mention, Fern is really good at detecting mana, yet she couldn't feel any mana from that move to even block or avoid it, so the move either used miniscule amount while creating extreme forces, or somehow the clone could mask the amount of mana used on spells
Ubel's visualization was prequel to Frieren's no hands spell, Magic is all about visualization and clone f shows what its about being both being genius + tip of the top expert can do.
That’s not how magic works bro your spells are just as important as your visualization you need both you can’t just think something and it happens you guys are putting way too much emphasis on imagination taking it out of context in the story.
If u were wondering why they couldnt sense sense its cuz like frieren and fern she can also hide her mana pretty well if u rember in the first test the birds also landed on her head a few times
She must be so strong. She is a normal human mage right? So a genius for learning something like mana suppressing which usually would take the average mage hundreds of years to master?
After coming back to rewatch this, something i realized is you never see glasses-guy's replica, because he never entered in the first place. Also, Frieren says "the last time i was forced to use that was 80 years ago" which was the demon lord fight
Took her ass to super cuts 😂 and those fricken mimics 😂 damn the budget went WILD this episode! The colors of some of those spells had that studio Ghibli effect 😍
The thing with the Frieren clone attack where she pushes Fern back is that Fern doesn't recognize it as magic, which also means within the magic system in the show there is no counter for it as no one should be able to imagine a counter to something they can't even comprehend.
If that's Frieren (assuming she did that with the Demon King), I really need to see how her party defeated the Demon King. Coz then if her role was the support, imagine the rest of the team 😭😭
Frieren cast something that isn't detectable as attack magic, something that didn't seem to use mana. It's like she attacked using telekinesis, moving things physically with mere thoughts.
Props to the architects that 2 frieren and a fern can fight without that the tomb is collapsing. Frieren taking Fern serious with this glance. 5 Mimics died in there natural habitat.
The spell frieren used is gravity spell and it’s continuous if you look closely on fern’s staff, it kept pressuring her on the wall like what gojo did.
Frieren is literally a gamer. She predicted her clone was gonna bust out a move she hadn't used in 80 years and use that to her advantage by making Fern her decoy. That was big brain play by her.
i LOVE how the magic in this world is so tailored to the user that any pair up _could_ be wildly unfair depending on the match, it keeps every mage humble, no matter how powerful, because a first class could be so easily defeated by a third class - she only got held back on a technicality even despite her psychopathy
Some say the last attack clone Freiren used is Curse since Curse is kind of a spell that is so advanced modern mages couldnt understand it, Fern also say she dont recongnize this as a spell. This is mention in their little adventure with Sein in the village where everyone is get hit by the Flower curse that making them all sleepy.
So the mysterious golem guy. I also investigated this and i think it's the first guy to go in. He goes in. We later see him cowering during a montage when the clones came out. Now we have a random golem that's called out with a who are you at the end of the episode.
Something really interesting that I didn't pick up until watching this episode (I read it in the manga but it went over my head): Frieren says "It's been about 80 years since I was last forced to used that". 80 years ago, that's when she fough the Demon King with Himmel, Heiter and Eisen (the Hero party). So the last person he used that against was the Demon King themselves. Which is awesome because of what Seire tells her "You'll be killed by either the Demon King or a Human Mage".
the guy in green was the one that was hiding by himself in a corner at the beginning of the dungeon exam. he was the only one who went by himself when everyone went in their own groups
Ubel is a beast!
She’s definitely a huge threat imagine she was able to cut through regular defence magic.
It was a male mage in green that ran off by himself...the last time we saw him he was hiding in a room, he might got caught by a replica...
Epic episode
If Frieren is a world of Imagination, Arthur clears😂

Craziest fight of Frieren. I hope to God that Madhouse will be the chef for season 2, because they are COOKING.
Season 2 is gonna be a bit, because the source has to cook a bit more up for enough content...
@@MyLiverismyEnemy are we close to the manga
@bruh-bd3ll there are currently 13 volumes. This season is up to the 6th and about to enter the 7th.
@@MyLiverismyEnemyhave material
@@bruh-bd3llwrong
Ngl if Frieren was doing that kinda stuff against the demon king, I gotta see the rest of the party.
Edit: Also the person who used their golem I'm assuming is the guy that went in by himself.
Same! I need a prequel OVA with Frieren's team invading the demon castle and killing the demon king.
Theres a... Lets call it a flash back arc, yeah, the heroes party was built DIFFERENT especially himmel, though the hero os the south is still stronger then all of them.
lmao himel basically helped kill the demon lord with a fake ass sword,thats insanity bro, he fought all hes life by being nerfed, cant even imagine him having the hero sword.
@@lucylucian2564 He even refused to get a better sword deadass, a blacksmith offered to get him a sword worth his title as a hero, but he declined, and just got his fake sword sharpened.
@@dattos140What's crazy is that it's a decorative sword too. Himmel fought for 10 years and eventually killed the Demon King with a toy.
I think the last attack from Frieren's clone is Frieren somehow changing gravity by manipulating the fabric of reality. Fern doesn't see it as a spell because it's literally a change in the fundamentals of physics, namely the direction and strength of gravity. Since it's a change of reality, you can't defend against it because you can't imagine fighting against the concept of up and down.
Fern really said,"Nah, I'd win."😂
Roshi " yo what spell is that "
Frieren " it's simple folk magic for lighting a room "
The guy that was running away with the golem was that arrogant guy at the start of the second exam. He was like “working together?, fck no”
11:41 remember the dude who was like, "I ain't need no help, I can do it by myself!" And then was shown curled up in a ball like last episode? He was also shown in the tub in the episode before the second phase. Yeah, the guy getting ran out was that guy
12:20 the magic circle spell thing was Real frieren's spell. The one she used to do that vertical blast to finish her clone off
9:41 They got hit by Frieren IRL lmao
Frieren's attack so strong the 3 of them flew back along with fern💀
9:50 "graviole" lmao mashle really out here teaching Frieren new spells
In that flashback conversation, Frieren wasn't talking about Fern taking the hit. It really was about *her* taking a hit. However, during the fight itself, Frieren realized that Fern can't pull it off. "I'll have to do it myself."
She underestimates Fern, which would be true for the replica too. But I think Frieren just didn't expect her replica to pull out that spell she hasn't used in 80 years.
I LOVE that y'all thought "she's got no arms! She can't cast anything!" RIGHT before the reveal
Oh my god that could not have been better
Frieren really built like that
The Magic combat against the Clones in this episode with its animation is fantastic & that Mimics scene at the end 😂, & a fun fact when Frieren destroy the Spiegel in the manga she used a giant explosion spell to destroy it rather than a simple shattering spell
The spell Frieren's clone used on Fern to blast her away was last used 80 years ago, that means she have to use that againts The Demon King, and it was 4 goats going at him, that should give us a good estimation about his power
The moment the clone Frieren gave the death stare at Fern, is the moment she stopped underestimating her and see her as a threat.
Frieren gave that Flamme stare this episode
Regarding Ubel killing the proctor - of course they're not going to arrest her. The whole test was firing offensive magic at the guy, so it would make no sense to punish someone for for being really good at that. And her own behavior makes it clear that killing him was unintentional. She's described as inexperienced, so maybe she didn't know her own strength, but I doubt she went into that exam planning to fail.
On a possibly related note, she was practicing her magic on bandits shortly before the 1st-class exams started.
It was just some random background character, that's why someone at the very end is just like, "Uh.. Who are you?" when that last escape golem arrives lmao Even the characters we do care about were confused.
I love the way magic is portrayed in this series. We dont get gibberish screamed at us before every spell is cast. Just gorgeous animation and quick fight resolution.
10:56- There's 2 already dead mimics, and she in a third. I see at least 1 more chest, and I'd be willing to wager it's a fourth mimic.
Unless I'm confused with the timeline, that move she used at the end against fern was also used against the demon king
9:41 lol that Lil jump yall did was exactly my reaction
Frieren vs Frieren clone spell battle is an instant classic
hair down Frieren staring at me like she's going to kill me made me feel things
if she used that attack on me i'd thank her
The guy with the golem you couldn't identify was the Mage that refused to work with anyone in the beginning of the test, and went in alone.
Also, i do not believe Frieren planned on Fern getting hit with that spell. She just trusted Fern to use the opening Frieren made in general. That's what i think.
Ubel after cutting burg: "I THOUGHT YOU WERE STRONGER😭😭💀💀"
a theory i'm really liking is that the move Clone Frieren used to push Fern away is the same spell Flamme used in the flashback when she just met Frieren. Flamme didn't use any staff, didn't seem to do any particular movement, we just see a quiet shockwave from afar and then it shows that she cleaved an entire hill
Not to mention, Fern is really good at detecting mana, yet she couldn't feel any mana from that move to even block or avoid it, so the move either used miniscule amount while creating extreme forces, or somehow the clone could mask the amount of mana used on spells
First of all it’s not the same spell flamme used and fern could not sense the spell that hit her because it was not mana based.
Best meme I saw is that Ubels cut spell is the embodiment of Gojo saying “nah I’d win”
5:30 gave that man "the honored one" treatment
Props to the Madhouse animators. this episode was ridiculous. the lighting, colours and camera work for that first minute was insane
Ubel's visualization was prequel to Frieren's no hands spell, Magic is all about visualization and clone f shows what its about being both being genius + tip of the top expert can do.
That’s not how magic works bro your spells are just as important as your visualization you need both you can’t just think something and it happens you guys are putting way too much emphasis on imagination taking it out of context in the story.
If u were wondering why they couldnt sense sense its cuz like frieren and fern she can also hide her mana pretty well if u rember in the first test the birds also landed on her head a few times
She must be so strong. She is a normal human mage right? So a genius for learning something like mana suppressing which usually would take the average mage hundreds of years to master?
@@PeyloBeauty i would agree i'm not sure why she is able to do that tho but we will prob see more of her power later on
Dang that intro though wtf?? Subbed, that was so sick!
Madhouse went absolutely above and beoynd with this episode! Stunning work as always
If anyone else stepped in that room they would have died INSTANTANEOUSLY 😂
9:49
That's a fair point. Frieren had every chance to tell Fern about her secret hidden spells, and just didn't. Master troll.
9:37 - “There’s no arms, it can’t cast no spells.”
Laughed my ass off knowing what was about to happen in a couple seconds.
@9:40 "there's no arms it can't cast no spells"
@9:42 **Frieren clone uses ancient Jedi folk spell**
After coming back to rewatch this, something i realized is you never see glasses-guy's replica, because he never entered in the first place.
Also, Frieren says "the last time i was forced to use that was 80 years ago" which was the demon lord fight
Took her ass to super cuts 😂 and those fricken mimics 😂 damn the budget went WILD this episode! The colors of some of those spells had that studio Ghibli effect 😍
The thing with the Frieren clone attack where she pushes Fern back is that Fern doesn't recognize it as magic, which also means within the magic system in the show there is no counter for it as no one should be able to imagine a counter to something they can't even comprehend.
If that's Frieren (assuming she did that with the Demon King), I really need to see how her party defeated the Demon King. Coz then if her role was the support, imagine the rest of the team 😭😭
Frieren cast something that isn't detectable as attack magic, something that didn't seem to use mana.
It's like she attacked using telekinesis, moving things physically with mere thoughts.
Props to the architects that 2 frieren and a fern can fight without that the tomb is collapsing. Frieren taking Fern serious with this glance. 5 Mimics died in there natural habitat.
Last time Frieren used that move was on the demon King. Great reaction as always.❤
9:39 lol 😭
The spell frieren used is gravity spell and it’s continuous if you look closely on fern’s staff, it kept pressuring her on the wall like what gojo did.
Frieren is literally a gamer. She predicted her clone was gonna bust out a move she hadn't used in 80 years and use that to her advantage by making Fern her decoy. That was big brain play by her.
Mud Frieren said "feel pain, accept pain, and know pain.."
i LOVE how the magic in this world is so tailored to the user that any pair up _could_ be wildly unfair depending on the match, it keeps every mage humble, no matter how powerful, because a first class could be so easily defeated by a third class - she only got held back on a technicality even despite her psychopathy
Some say the last attack clone Freiren used is Curse since Curse is kind of a spell that is so advanced modern mages couldnt understand it, Fern also say she dont recongnize this as a spell. This is mention in their little adventure with Sein in the village where everyone is get hit by the Flower curse that making them all sleepy.
Haven’t used that in 80years have a feeling that was last used in the demon king fight.
Clone Frieren went through her entire stock of spells and started pulling from other anime and used almighty push.
**Sees massive spike in replay**
Me: I wonder what this is?
**Sees the scene**
Me: Oh right
OK jump scare, shaking up the whole couch simultaneously 🤣🤣🤣
The guy in green is the guy at the very beginning of the exam who arrogantly declared he had no intention of teaming up with the others.
Thanks for the Frieren reactions. Subscribed!
So the mysterious golem guy. I also investigated this and i think it's the first guy to go in. He goes in. We later see him cowering during a montage when the clones came out. Now we have a random golem that's called out with a who are you at the end of the episode.
Something really interesting that I didn't pick up until watching this episode (I read it in the manga but it went over my head): Frieren says "It's been about 80 years since I was last forced to used that". 80 years ago, that's when she fough the Demon King with Himmel, Heiter and Eisen (the Hero party). So the last person he used that against was the Demon King themselves. Which is awesome because of what Seire tells her "You'll be killed by either the Demon King or a Human Mage".
My bombastic side eye, i dont use it that often because most people dont deserve it to see the peak 😂❤
I like how universally everyone feared Frieren's look. I shit my pants thinking fern was going to get kerfuffled.
Yep one of the best death stare to date
The mystery entrant that golem'd was the blonde hair guy that went off alone and was super confident.
the guy in green was the one that was hiding by himself in a corner at the beginning of the dungeon exam. he was the only one who went by himself when everyone went in their own groups
