That is a misconception, Frieren hid her strength even from the heroes until they faced the demon king so that the alertness of demons won't go up. Frieren has a habit of belittling herself and were she ranks, but also her deception. She wouldn't have wanted the demons to realise how powerful she truly is by outright beating somebody like Qual.
Things to note in this episode: - Frieren is wearing Flamme's earrings. - Frieren's favourite spell is a spell that creates a field of flowers which was Flamme's favourite spell. - Flamme used magic without a staff
That’s why it’s like cheating and dishonorable because no demon will ever live when they come up across it and therefore can’t learn to anticipate it. It’s simple but beautiful
Год назад+241
Lügner can’t tell anyone either even though he was smart enough to actually figure it out, just a tad bit too late.
That is why Flamme told her to suppress her mana her whole life and to live in obscurity, it's all a ploy to trick demons into lowering their guard. Notice how Lugner never saw Fern as a threat (even turning his back on her) until it was to late. Same thing happened with Aura. That's probably why Frieren never bothers to explain to people who she truly is, just in case word gets around to other demons.
Also along those lines: Aura says Frieren has about 100 years of training based on her mana, and that she hasn't changed since 80 years ago. And Heiter says that back then, Frieren had around a fifth of his mana. So Heiter just casually has the mana equivalent to 500 years of training in his early 20s or something like that
@@mk9beatzhe’s a priest, in the Frieren power system they’re “chosen ones” who can use mana to activate the power of holy scriptures, since Frieren has JRPG inspiration he’s probably healer/support with anti-undead tricks
In the previous episode, if Aura had not mentioned Himmel disrespectfully or remained silent, she would have had a chance to die an honorable death at Frieren's hands. But she did it and a humiliating death awaited her
@@SoulFeather111she kinda was. She survived after all, they just were never able to deal with her cause while she overwhelm you with her soldiers she can escape. But here she simply got overconfident
Another thing to note as said in episode 9 if you have a strong enough will you can overcome the scales, however Aura was so flat footed by the reveal that it shattered her will to fight, hence why she could do nothing when she "guillotined" herself with the sword because she was in too much disbelief. Another side note, if you look carefully, you can see Aura start to sweat on her cheeks just before the reveal.
Just a slight "correction". A strong will doesn't allow you to overcome the scales, only resist a bit. That is why Aura told the people wjo were able to resist to kill themselves, since they still had enough will to perhaps try to attack her if given the chance, but not enough to resist that order.
@@wisefelipe That's not correct unless it's a change between the anime and manga. Aura beheads them to kill them, forcing their bodies to serve as undead while their will disappears entirely upon their death. Why else would Aura approach Frieren so calmly when she thought she had won?
There is probably only a single handful of anime episodes that have actually left me speechless after they end, but this one most certainly made its way to that hand. We all knew how it was gonna end, but the build-up to it all was just excellently done
And then the ED at the end releases all the emotions the entire episode has been building upon and I’m a wreck sitting there. This cycle been going on for weeks now 😅
@@aaronmgriffin for me. this one, that one rezero ep 15, MT ep fight with that dragon god, code geass finale, 86 finale, tenshura rimuru demon king, one piece ep whenever lore drop.. and more. got a long list for this lol
I wish you showed how after Frieren decides to join the party it has a very quick sequence of images, representing how the whole adventure to kill the demon king to her felt like the blink of an eye.
Flamme teaching Frieren the art of trolling demons due to revenge is just downright scary. Frieren saying kys to Aura is pretty much low tier god COD style 😂
I think Lugner's line of "we wouldn't be defeated by merely underestimating someone", paraphrased, applies here somewhat. Such a statement discounts a good deal of the efforts on Frieren and Flamme's part that went into making this moment of utter decimation possible. Aura was cautious when facing Frieren, carefully observing her and whittling down her mana to make sure that her spell worked without a doubt, not her fault for not seeing through a thousand year deception concocted by two of the most brilliant mages is history, as was intended.
The change of settings is quite interesting. When Frieren met Flamme, society‘s architecture was that of Roman or Greek design. 1000+ years later, it looks more like medieval times.
I think it was one of the earliest things Heitar taught Fern: to conceal her mana. He learned that about Frieren, and gave her advice. Her doing it and being so good at it surprised Frieren when they first met. He couldn't really teach her magic, but he could give her advice and suggestions, after all. That's my head canon anyway.
Very likely. Plus, while Priests in that world don't use magic, they do use mana like mages do, just for his miracles/holy magic (which follow different principles than magic). So while he couldn't teach Fern actual magic, he could still teach her about mana control. And since it's the only thing he could teach her, it makes sense that this was the one thing Fern was the best at as a mage even at age 9 (when she met Frieren).
@@josephjanonetiwouw2986 Yup. When Fern was still 9 and first met Frieren, Frieren had difficulties sensing her, but still managed to (meaning most mages wouldn't be able to sense her already). Then, on the day of Fern's 16th birthday, when Fern tailed Frieren for hours, Frieren never noticed a thing, showing how much better Fern got since then.
@@Despotic_Waffle It just wouldn’t make sense. Frieren is so old and yet her mana is so tiny but she can perform massive blasts of energy? Any good magic user would realize after a while
The buildup this episode was insane. Like, we all knew Frieren would win, but with all the flashbacks and slow build I was actually shaking at the end.
I love how this episode makes Frieren's flower spell so much more significant. She used that spell that her master loved to honor her master, and then later used that same spell to honor Himmel.
The best part of the episode is we straight up knew Aura would get clapped like 1.5 episodes ago, but they just kept letting it build for the grand reveal. This ain't no fast food anime, this is a whole ass six course meal.
I adore this storytelling. Instead of trying to build tension around how Frieren could possibly defeat this overpowered opponent (Oh no she's going to die!)and then pulling some cheap twist with hidden powers, the storytellers made it quite clear that Frieren was going to win and also how. They instead hyped us up for the reveal of just HOW MUCH more mana she has - and damn if this wasn't epic and satisfying.
On the note so do we know how strong other party members are compared to frieren? Hieter doesn't look very strong, eisen is about to be surpassed by strong so i doubt he is comparable to frieren either. Himmel looks the strongest cuz he is the hero but is he stronger than freieren?
Hiding mana seems to be the equivalent of a black belt going into a 1 on 1 karate match wearing a yellow belt All the work and effort to earn such a high rank, something to be proud of, being hidden away for a “cheap trick” Disrespecting yourself, your opponent, and everyone else who achieved that rank or above
the way they phrase it completely hiding your mana is actually easier then 'disguising' or diminishing your mana, especially if its supposed to be convincing
@@vhaelen326i think thats just in terms of demons preferences, they can go stealth mode for a while to ambush people but only for a time. There's a future moment where frieren completely hides her mana and it's shown to be somewhat hard I guess, will probably be covered in this season
@@Despotic_WaffleWell like Aura said, it's pointless for them. You either have it on to assert dominance or off to completely hide yourself. Lowering it wouldn't achieve anything for demons They don't want to seem weaker than they are
@@Despotic_Waffle i mean we have statements from aura saying she would be able to recognize if someone were to deminish their mana rather than hide it comepletely because it takes on a sort of unstable flickering property (she was just out of luck that frieren probably spent more time with her mana deminished then with it on full blast) but we saw even fern who is by all intents and purposes still a very young mage and she managed to supress her mana entirely, i mean i would imagine the hiding it completely is more physically taxing over long periods, if compared to muscles it would be difference between strength and endurance, hiding it comepletely for longer periods of time requires strength and deminishing it for long periods of times requires endurance, or it might be a case of the more mana you have the harder it is to hide it completely, or on the other side you might be right and its a case of either an unreliable narrator or a somewhat inconsistent worldbuilding, neither of which is a big deal imo
Why should we respect monsters who speak human language and use words to deceive humans? Why can demons deceive humans with words, but humans are not allowed to deceive demons?
I love frierens confidence. her confidence is based on facts. telling fern she will never be as skilled as her in her entire life, warning draht about how strong she is, telling aura who she is trying. frieren is HER. not just that but her personality overall is just so nice to watch throughout this show.
The thing is when the mana soul measuring have already started, it can't be stopped mid-way. Basically point of no return, so Aura already lose when she decided to duel Frieren with mana. She probably could've win if she just attacked Frieren using the undead soldier that she collected. Yeah basically "I've made a mistake!" moment for Aura right there.
Just to rub it in Aura's face even more, the ending song starts playing, "And are you alright? Can you hear me?" Bruh, she's not alright, and she won't be able to hear anything from now on
Something to consider; why did the Demon King want to exterminate Elves? The show literally says people's mana is typically reflective for how long they've been developing it. Which race lives the longest again?
I love this philosophy of demons. How their strength is so tied into their pride, the notion of constantly hiding it is utterly alien to them. The best equivalent I could think of is this: It would be as if an animal spent it’s entire life, pretending to be an undesirable mate, it’s just something they cannot comprehend; pretended to be…”lesser” for more than just a brief moment. Just shows that these demons truly are just beasts.
7:27 "why don't they just learn?" Well, to be fair, before Frieren and Fern, Flamme is the ONLY one who does this, nobody else, so the demons don't bother adapting to the exception... And any demon that comes across her got absolutely clapped anyway. No demon ever lived to tell the tale of "oh, this is how she beats us" or "this is what she did" and such. As far as the demons are concerned, Flamme killed them "somehow" cuz she's a genius while Frieren had Himmel's party to cover her.
if you do the actual math, feiren is like 1500. she has only been training under flames instruction for 1130 (studied under her for 50, it’s been 1000 since she died and she was with hero party for10 and the hero died 80 years) she was already a super powerful before they met meaning she was already several hundred years old even then. i see why the demons hunted down the elves race. Feiren in a previous episode states she hasn’t seen another elf in over 400 years, and that girl likes to travel, she would have found some if they existed.

This fight was like the opposite of most anime fights, where instead of a surprise switch-up near the end, you literally have a whole episode explaining to you why the main character wins at the end. And yet it's still amazing. Also, "Aura, kill yourself." That's so cold man.
I had only just realized that at the moment of 3 years into her apprenticeship (in the town), Frieren's suppressed mana looks like it has jagged outline. Then cutting to the point of 50 years into the apprenticeship, her suppressed mana looks a lot smoother, showing how she has improved. Then, looking at Frieren's reflection in Aura's eye, her mana is completely smooth. That's some insane detail Fern's mana when looked at by Lugner has smooth outline as well. She can do what took Frieren 50 years to do, but, i don't blame Frieren since she's suppressing an amount that's like 10x Fern's lol
I love how demons are just constantly shown to be animals, picture a wolf, yes it might pretend to be hurt to fool a prey, but it won't spend its entire life acting hurt to fool prey, because the rest of the pack will turn on it, so even if a demon did try and suppress their mana their whole life to instant clap someone, they woukd be considered the lowest of the low
It's cool how Flamme's era wasn't the same medieval age of exploration we see in Himmel's era like how most fantasy media does. Instead, it's Roman-inspired, since it's a 1000 years in the past. Really builds the world.
8:30 Oh...shite. Iwas just thinking about how does Frieren deal with a 1000 years of supressing her mana, and Lupa mentions her need to sleep so much!!! Damn, that was insightful!
Respect for the editor... i must confess this has some of the most beautifully animated feet in anime...so it's understandable he had to blur it, RUclips would have sanctioned the video...
To be fair, Aura was cautious enough to have Frieren use her mana for the scales to more likely turn to Aura's favor~ Unfortunately for Aura, she got cocky and still got tricked by Frieren's displayed mana~ Frieren was just smurfing her mana like that~
Fern already had a talent for suppressing her mana before Frieren met her - it's something Frieren noticed at the beginning - she had very good mana control. It's also why Fern could ambush Lugner undetected.
the way they talked about it in the show sofar it seems to me that completely concealing your mana is alot easier especially if only for a while to set up an ambush, compared to just supressing it, i would put it into a metaphor like "its easier to show NO emotions rather than convincingly show an emotion youre not currently feeling"
A good thing about Frieren is that mana=stamina, not power, so even though someone has a absurd amount of mana, it doens't mean they are stronger, just like Qual had less mana than Frieren, but was a stronger mage/fighter than her. This make the fights and power levels more balanced in this universe, if not, there would be no way a human could ever beat a demon, elf or other race that lives for hundred of years, so making mana be more like stamina than power, help's a lot.
Aura estimated Frieren as a 100 year old mage. Heiter said she had a fifth of his mana, that means Heiter in his teens was 5 times more powerful than a hundred year old elf mage. The hero party was crazy strong.
More likely that when they scouted her, she was already suppressing her mana just that much. Because Heiter's appraisal is that she was mediocre based on the mana he could sense, and Himmel just went with his gut that there was more to her.
More like Aura estimated she had about that much training. Not that she was that old. You can use your life on things other than training magic. Like getting drunk.
She was suppressing her mana that much, you can see it when Heiter looked at her mana. She was trying to dissuade bad adventurers from recruiting her, but Himmel saw through it. In current day she suppresses it to a 100y old mage level, cause people know who she is, so she makes it to a level that is big but still believable.
I like that this anime shows every fight in an unique way. What I'm saying is that it don't use the full of action and movements scene for the fights like JJK, instead it goes to show them in like an epic and even dare to say in a poetic way which, at least for me hits me more deeply. For instance, in this fight, even when everything was "calm" and "slow paced" I almost cry the moment Frieren release her mana. It's soo beautiful how this anime tells and show the fights
Light flex
yo, been waiting for this
Where is loki at
What's funnier is that she was suppressing her mana too even with the fight against the demon lord because of her promise to Flamme.
Hadi
That is a misconception, Frieren hid her strength even from the heroes until they faced the demon king so that the alertness of demons won't go up.
Frieren has a habit of belittling herself and were she ranks, but also her deception.
She wouldn't have wanted the demons to realise how powerful she truly is by outright beating somebody like Qual.
Things to note in this episode:
- Frieren is wearing Flamme's earrings.
- Frieren's favourite spell is a spell that creates a field of flowers which was Flamme's favourite spell.
- Flamme used magic without a staff
just a theory, but I notice flamme have bracelets. maybe she invented things that can output magic more easy to wield than staffs.
Demons also don't use staff for magic.
Hmmm, i got nothing.
Frieren did magic without a staff in the cell when fighting the strings guy. Wind magic with her hands
Staffs aren’t entirely necessary, they’re just helpful tools for the visualization of projecting magic out
@@NateDaGreat561_ good point. I dont think its ever mentioned what is the purpose of the staff. Maybe its just to enhance magic.

All the work and effort to earn such a high rank, something to be proud of, being hidden away for a “cheap trick”
Disrespecting yourself, your opponent, and everyone else who achieved that rank or above
the way they phrase it completely hiding your mana is actually easier then 'disguising' or diminishing your mana, especially if its supposed to be convincing
@@vhaelen326i think thats just in terms of demons preferences, they can go stealth mode for a while to ambush people but only for a time. There's a future moment where frieren completely hides her mana and it's shown to be somewhat hard I guess, will probably be covered in this season
@@Despotic_WaffleWell like Aura said, it's pointless for them. You either have it on to assert dominance or off to completely hide yourself. Lowering it wouldn't achieve anything for demons
They don't want to seem weaker than they are
@@Despotic_Waffle i mean we have statements from aura saying she would be able to recognize if someone were to deminish their mana rather than hide it comepletely because it takes on a sort of unstable flickering property (she was just out of luck that frieren probably spent more time with her mana deminished then with it on full blast) but we saw even fern who is by all intents and purposes still a very young mage and she managed to supress her mana entirely, i mean i would imagine the hiding it completely is more physically taxing over long periods, if compared to muscles it would be difference between strength and endurance, hiding it comepletely for longer periods of time requires strength and deminishing it for long periods of times requires endurance, or it might be a case of the more mana you have the harder it is to hide it completely, or on the other side you might be right and its a case of either an unreliable narrator or a somewhat inconsistent worldbuilding, neither of which is a big deal imo
Why should we respect monsters who speak human language and use words to deceive humans?
Why can demons deceive humans with words, but humans are not allowed to deceive demons?
The music at the moment Frieren shows Aura the true scale of her mana is INSANE
frieren really said “your life is as valuable as a summer ant”
I love frierens confidence. her confidence is based on facts. telling fern she will never be as skilled as her in her entire life, warning draht about how strong she is, telling aura who she is trying. frieren is HER. not just that but her personality overall is just so nice to watch throughout this show.
Flamme and Frieren feets being censured got me 😂 I was not expecting it 😂
The thing is when the mana soul measuring have already started, it can't be stopped mid-way. Basically point of no return, so Aura already lose when she decided to duel Frieren with mana. She probably could've win if she just attacked Frieren using the undead soldier that she collected. Yeah basically "I've made a mistake!" moment for Aura right there.
She made a cold and calculated move
But alas, Aura was bad at math
Funfact : Aura's Voice actress is Eren's Voice actor wife in real life.. You should know what the fun part is 💀💀💀
That blur on their feet at 7:11. I cant, the editor knows whats up. 💀
Just to rub it in Aura's face even more, the ending song starts playing, "And are you alright? Can you hear me?"
Bruh, she's not alright, and she won't be able to hear anything from now on
Something to consider; why did the Demon King want to exterminate Elves? The show literally says people's mana is typically reflective for how long they've been developing it. Which race lives the longest again?
Yep yep! It’s very much a Shen and the pandas situation from Kung Fu Panda 2
censoring the feet is craaazyy 7:14
Fr😂
She became a true gamer in the end
"Frieren showed that she's just a low tier mage"
I love this philosophy of demons. How their strength is so tied into their pride, the notion of constantly hiding it is utterly alien to them. The best equivalent I could think of is this: It would be as if an animal spent it’s entire life, pretending to be an undesirable mate, it’s just something they cannot comprehend; pretended to be…”lesser” for more than just a brief moment. Just shows that these demons truly are just beasts.
7:27 "why don't they just learn?"
Well, to be fair, before Frieren and Fern, Flamme is the ONLY one who does this, nobody else, so the demons don't bother adapting to the exception... And any demon that comes across her got absolutely clapped anyway. No demon ever lived to tell the tale of "oh, this is how she beats us" or "this is what she did" and such. As far as the demons are concerned, Flamme killed them "somehow" cuz she's a genius while Frieren had Himmel's party to cover her.
Never seen Sheera so excited 💯
ED : And you alright?
Aura: Of course,no.
The Most Badass moment in this Year
With this episode, we can now confirm that a chest monster can solo the sages of destruction
if you do the actual math, feiren is like 1500. she has only been training under flames instruction for 1130 (studied under her for 50, it’s been 1000 since she died and she was with hero party for10 and the hero died 80 years) she was already a super powerful before they met meaning she was already several hundred years old even then.
i see why the demons hunted down the elves race. Feiren in a previous episode states she hasn’t seen another elf in over 400 years, and that girl likes to travel, she would have found some if they existed.
It's so funny that ayana taketatsu who do aura is married to yuki kaji who do Eren both of them lost their head the same week
Bruh
living proof that the AoT fandom still can't stop spoiling literally everywhere they go
@@animusswtor4822 how is that a spoil??? The manga ended 2 years ago and the anime almost 2 weeks , if you just started aot well I'm sorry for spoiling you
@@kikikim4589 it doesn't matter how long it has been over, if you go somewhere completely unrelated to the show and comment about a specific plot point - especially something like this - it IS a spoiler.
I have both read and watched it already, that doesn't mean everyone who comes to watch this reaction has.
My personal favorite manga ended 8 years ago, my favorite anime 14 years ago, and I still have never spoiled anyone on either, for comparison.
@@animusswtor4822 yeah so now what do you want me to do ??? You want me to delete my comment?
You're talking like 99% of the people here didn't watch it already , good for you you never spoiled anyone do you want a cookie
Aura: "No! There's no way you can kill me! I am a demon who lived 500 years!"
Frieren: "Skill issue."
Not me consistently hitting refresh on the channel waiting for THIS Frieren reaction ALL week 😅
Freiren really said Domain Expansion with the size of that mana😂
謝謝！
this is why frieren is searching for all spells, she wants to find one that is special just like Flamme had with the flower magic
She is going around getting these weird spells because Himmel liked it. If she wanted all the spells, she would have gone to see Serie
3:29 Respect Lupa for the random Kung Pow reference lmao
KYS was crazy lol. The hair cutting detail was nice. Love this show and Frieren is cool too
This fight was like the opposite of most anime fights, where instead of a surprise switch-up near the end, you literally have a whole episode explaining to you why the main character wins at the end. And yet it's still amazing. Also,
"Aura, kill yourself." That's so cold man.
Chat:
Aura [TheGuillotine]: Frieren you suck noob low lvl
Frieren [TheSlayer]: Aura KYS
*Aura Has Lost The Connection*
Its the toji moment all over again😂
I'm stoked I got to see this reaction.
That final line by Frieren. COLD!
I had only just realized that at the moment of 3 years into her apprenticeship (in the town), Frieren's suppressed mana looks like it has jagged outline. Then cutting to the point of 50 years into the apprenticeship, her suppressed mana looks a lot smoother, showing how she has improved. Then, looking at Frieren's reflection in Aura's eye, her mana is completely smooth. That's some insane detail
Fern's mana when looked at by Lugner has smooth outline as well. She can do what took Frieren 50 years to do, but, i don't blame Frieren since she's suppressing an amount that's like 10x Fern's lol
I love how demons are just constantly shown to be animals, picture a wolf, yes it might pretend to be hurt to fool a prey, but it won't spend its entire life acting hurt to fool prey, because the rest of the pack will turn on it, so even if a demon did try and suppress their mana their whole life to instant clap someone, they woukd be considered the lowest of the low
It's cool how Flamme's era wasn't the same medieval age of exploration we see in Himmel's era like how most fantasy media does. Instead, it's Roman-inspired, since it's a 1000 years in the past. Really builds the world.
@ 3:28 I caught that Kung Pow reference Lupa! You ain't slick!😂
Frieren gave Aura the LTG treatment
8:30 Oh...shite. Iwas just thinking about how does Frieren deal with a 1000 years of supressing her mana, and Lupa mentions her need to sleep so much!!! Damn, that was insightful!
Respect for the editor... i must confess this has some of the most beautifully animated feet in anime...so it's understandable he had to blur it, RUclips would have sanctioned the video...
I swear to god, I would be 100 times happier if I was a friend with Lupa 😂😂
Yup
basically this is Dragon Ball Z stuff.
Hiding their power to prevent from being detected and fooling their enemies.
Love the excitement at Frieren's mana reveal!
One of the coldest kills I've ever seen. Absolutely badass!
To be fair, Aura was cautious enough to have Frieren use her mana for the scales to more likely turn to Aura's favor~
Unfortunately for Aura, she got cocky and still got tricked by Frieren's displayed mana~
Frieren was just smurfing her mana like that~
Frieren said “I smurf your peak”
10:35 that is so raw.........
Fern already had a talent for suppressing her mana before Frieren met her - it's something Frieren noticed at the beginning - she had very good mana control. It's also why Fern could ambush Lugner undetected.
the way they talked about it in the show sofar it seems to me that completely concealing your mana is alot easier especially if only for a while to set up an ambush, compared to just supressing it, i would put it into a metaphor like "its easier to show NO emotions rather than convincingly show an emotion youre not currently feeling"
10:08 I love lupa’s random Jamaican accents😭
Unless I’m cracked but that ending point of view was Arura head falling to the ground
A good thing about Frieren is that mana=stamina, not power, so even though someone has a absurd amount of mana, it doens't mean they are stronger, just like Qual had less mana than Frieren, but was a stronger mage/fighter than her.
This make the fights and power levels more balanced in this universe, if not, there would be no way a human could ever beat a demon, elf or other race that lives for hundred of years, so making mana be more like stamina than power, help's a lot.
Frieren really hit her with the "kys"
Aura estimated Frieren as a 100 year old mage. Heiter said she had a fifth of his mana, that means Heiter in his teens was 5 times more powerful than a hundred year old elf mage. The hero party was crazy strong.
More likely that when they scouted her, she was already suppressing her mana just that much. Because Heiter's appraisal is that she was mediocre based on the mana he could sense, and Himmel just went with his gut that there was more to her.
More like Aura estimated she had about that much training. Not that she was that old. You can use your life on things other than training magic. Like getting drunk.
She was suppressing her mana that much, you can see it when Heiter looked at her mana. She was trying to dissuade bad adventurers from recruiting her, but Himmel saw through it. In current day she suppresses it to a 100y old mage level, cause people know who she is, so she makes it to a level that is big but still believable.
10:51 Frieren went full on LowTierGod on Aura (if ykyk)
I like that this anime shows every fight in an unique way. What I'm saying is that it don't use the full of action and movements scene for the fights like JJK, instead it goes to show them in like an epic and even dare to say in a poetic way which, at least for me hits me more deeply. For instance, in this fight, even when everything was "calm" and "slow paced" I almost cry the moment Frieren release her mana. It's soo beautiful how this anime tells and show the fights
7:12 Reeeaaaally?!? We thought that the feet were too much that day?!?!? Lolz. I fucking love this channel.
I like the dub better for this show, especially when Frieren tells Aura to kill herself because she says it so nonchalantly that it’s hilarious
Aura was clapped by her own spell while Frieren just stood there. she was negative one-tapped.
Super excited Sheera warms my heart
"And you alright"
Aura: YOU THINK I'M "ALRIGHT"?!
The music has been so fire this series man. That was the one thing I was worried about when the anime got announced but they're killing it.
