They were both perfectly capable of reading where the other would aim and pivot, it's a delightful touch to show how completely it mimics her thought processes, and how in tune she is with her own. The way they keep shifting perspective between them without actually changing their positioning is fantastic. Best interpretation of a mimic battle I ever done seen.
@@DiamondDog_ the mere fact that the clone (who is just thinking like frieren) used a spell that frieren only used against the demon king reveals that she really sees fern as a very strong mage.

1:05 is the most accurate depiction of your average Raid Group in anime. 2 competent people analyzing the strategy, the rest of the group in the background standing around or actively attempting to kill each other.
dude this one time i joined an ongoing raid with a group, the raid leader (sounded like an elderly woman ) was going over the plans on voice chat a couple of other party members were bickering and she scolded them because it was turning disruptive... later it turned out she was their mom,
What i find the most interesting in this scene is that this is the first time we see offensive spells used for defence instead of barier spell. Using Judrajim with (I assume) different polarity to counter the attack is such an amazing concept! This makes the magic system in Frieren so much deeper... Until now all we were shown were barriers and covering yourself with physical objects (Richter and Sharf for example)
I think there is a lore reason for why Frieren isn’t using barrier magic here. It’s been stated that defensive magic costs more mana than offensive magic. That being the case, it’s logical for Frieren to resist using defensive magic against a clone of herself. This is a fight against an opponent with equal skill AND mana. The mage who is the first to screw up their mana efficiency is the mage that is probably going to lose. That’s why both of them are using the same spell to attack the other, and using the same spell to block, because they don’t want to spend more mana than the other one is already using
It could also be that using modern magic would put Frieren at a disadvantage because, as Frieren stated earlier, being an elf makes her slow to adapt to new paradigms in magic. She is probably MORE skilled using old school magic, and it wouldn’t surprise me to learn the spells she’s throwing around so casually here are ANCIENT.
It cements what Friren tells us when she says modern defensive magic was built to counter Zoltraak exactly. Freren theoretically leaves a small opening when she both uses and blocks the spell, and the opening on use would cause Friren to die before a block would be necessary. Assuming both know that casting Zoltraak would be a deadly mistake, both would discard the spell expressly used to counter it. However, despite it being a mistake normally, they would consider blitzing each other down with it before the other could react as an opening move. After all, the delay from the confidence they wouldn't face it compounded with the normal block delay and quick casting speed invites a potential avenue for victory. The initial block was probably testing for that move, and now that it happened, both are confident that a surprise attack isn't coming since it didn't occur at the most optimal time and the other has shown they are looking out for it. As for Judrajim, I have a feeling its use has more to do with its random movements than normal combat effectiveness. We were told prior that facing yourself comes down to a contest of luck, and a lightning spell that constantly arcs eratically gives the most opportunities for luck to happen. After all, any spell shot at Friren point blank is getting dodged, but Judrajim has the chance of arcing in the direction of the dodge and hitting anyways.
@@theglitch5386It may also be that it’s particularly difficult for the barrier to block. They started with barriers but then went straight to Judrajim which suggests the barrier cannot block it or it cannot block it accurately or it would take a lot of energy to block. The barrier spell matches and disperses the energy of the spell it comes into contact with which is versatile but it could be that Judrajim bolts constantly shift in energy level and so they wouldn’t be completely blocked by the barrier spell. If anyone knows at least one spell that would bypass the modern barrier spell it would be Frieren or Serie
@@theglitch5386I think that another factor to start with Judrajim was Fern. Frieren clone do not wanted a 2 vs 1, and used magic with great area of effect, to eliminate Fern, without putting herself at disavantage with the original. Of course, Frieren read that pattern and adviced Fern about it.
2:14 What i loved the most about this fight was that the clone realised that something was wrong and reacted just by reading Frierens facial expression see the way she smiles and the clones eyes change in response these tiny details during the fight are outstanding! I actually think if she hadn't smiled Fern might of been able to end the fight there and then.
Oh shit, I forgot about that, Fern knows her weaknesses, while she can't just surprise her while she's sitting, a surprise attack while they're fighting off the other mimics could be a possibility.
To be precise frieren can not stop it only if she is caught be complete surprise plus while battling a mage as good as herself. Can't quick scope frieren when she is just chilling @@lolosh99
@@neerajnongmaithem392 yeah, they made the entire plan based on exploiting frieren's inability to detect mana WHILE casting a spell, which is exactly what happened. Mud clone was casting a spell point blank to finish off frieren, so fern could use zoltraak unnoticed
other Mages: *use barriers to counter spells (which uses more mana)* Frieren: *uses offensive magic with same power and aoe as the enemy's (uses less mana)* other Mages: *keeps distance to cast spells at safe distance* Frieren: *teleports to your face to blast your face off*
The problem with the barrier spell is how mana intensive it is. Fight against yourself turns into a battle of attrition very quickly the first to defensive magic is from that very moment a losing side. The reason why they had that contest at the start is probably to stop cheeky Zoltraak from ending the fight instantly. And the reason for those huge spells is to put the enemy at defense.
What I find interesting is that we can infer there were other defensive spells before mankind developed the anti-Zoltraak defenses, and they required less mana than these ones, but Frieren still blocked the incoming attacks with her own ones. It makes me think that this method is more efficient than the modern mages paradigm of defense-against-attack, but it can't be applied for some reason, probably that a Zoltraak can't block other Zoltraak.
@@granito555 I think there was an explanation when they took out the demon who invented Zoltraak. He was sorta unbeatable likely because no one had a counter for Zoltraak. This implies that it can't be blocked with offensive spells and you either need to dodge it or use the defensive magic specifically invented for blocking it.
What I love is how these top tier spells aren’t pretty or clean, they are almost cursed in appearance, as if some great suffering was needed to invent such a spell.
they almost look like ancient and cursed deep black magic that would be frowned upon/taboo to use. Volzanbel looks straight up as a fire as if it is summoned from the depths of Hell. this Hellfire, it evaporated a building sized stone in a blink. like wtf. also i like how in next part of the fight they just start using spells that seems like tearing the fabric of reality or breaking space-time wherever they are cast.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's some crazy ancient shit that's been long forgotten, or straight up outlawed by some magical committees for being too destructive or rooted in dark/cursed magic.
One detail I love about this fight is at 2:12, when the music goes quiet and changes to a rendition of Fern's theme the moment she shoots zoltrak. Just goes to show how good thematic story telling can be without dialogue and how pivitoal fern was to this fight and the heights she has grown since learning magic.
Man the fact that we havent seen her use these spells till this episode is insane, she truely believes that these destructive flashy spells are only useful to fight against an enemy of her own caliber. I kinda wanna see frieren vs serie bc i fear that no other foe is gonna make her fight like this,its kinda beautiful.
Well there are great demons equally strong and even more skilled than Frieren, the power system balance in Frieren it's great, there are no unkillable beings here.
We never will. Unlike the Cell Games, the cameramen would be obliterated in the first few seconds. It would be like working at ground zero in a nuclear war.
This show really proves a point with a "less is more" approach. Not that it actually is "less" per say, but the actual fighting part of the fight scene isn't very long. It doesn't have to be, because the story uses the timing of it's music with some very impactful flashbacks to deliver a very emotional climax to the scene. I think watching the clip of just the fight on youtube doesn't do it much justice if you're only seeing it for the first time though, it's absolutely brilliant when you're watching the episode and everything's in context.
I'm just happy that we fights we do get are actually superbly animated, soundscaped and choreographed. You can tell that they went for quality over quantity as opposed to 95 % of "isekai" or fantasy-themed animes we had in recent years. I can watch a 3 second clip of Linie conjuring an axe and tearing up the crenellations to gain momentum to crush Stark a hundred times before I will watch what passes for a fight scene in "reincarnated into a fantasy world as some uninspired MC template with -insert modern convenience here-".
The time available to produce the next episode (ie one week) frequently limits how ambitious the animators can be with their animation. So a short combat sequence means the animation team has more leeway to really go all out on the quality of the animation therein.
@@adamwu4565 That would open the question of how the more impressive shows like OPM or the Fate series manage to do it despite that. It's worth noting that not all studios produce episodes WHILE airing. That's mostly a factor for long-running shows like Naturo, Bleach and One Piece - where the show has been on air so long that no amount of backlog would've let them handle the demand. Shorter "one season" animes are frequently made months, sometimes years in advance. For them, it's more a question of production costs (billable hours) than total time spent per episode.
Something I noticed about the episode, this is the only time Frieren doesn't just spam Zoltraak for offense, which she previously called "good enough" to defeat mages of that era. We got to see how two ancient spellcasters fought, and the power they wielded.
Notice how, at the last moment, just before Fern launches her attack, Frieren smiled, and the clone, seeing this, frowned. Did this tip off the clone that a surprise attack from Fern was incoming? This further emphasizes why Frieren is usually so stone-faced and stoic in combat, and taught Fern to do the same, and why most of the other mages also try to keep their facial expressions minimized while fighting. The smallest facial tic can tip off a sufficiently skilled opponent and help them anticipate your next move.
Battlemage in most fantasy is always shown like that if I am not wrong they're lore accurately immune to their own spells so using a AoE magic point blank is viable
0:30 I love this detail, frieren and its clone doesn't care about the wall falling to crush them, because whoever tries to evade the wall... will be open to attacks. What frieren did is she casted an offensive spell to her clone, that can simultaneously destroy the wall to prevent herself from getting crushed.
They really made it feel like two gods were going against each other,they handled the symmetric aesthetic of them fighting so amazingly well. While with Ubel it was mostly mirrored close combat with a couple spells,Frieren is just raw power and you can really feel it,especially with that badass slow walk in front of the fire
Denken fire magic, just fire. Frieren fire magic, evaporates stone. Also I love how it shows how Frieren actual spell usage. She mostly used this purple lightning beam instead of the Zoltraak versions.
I mean it is logical. No way you can avoid a point blank shot to the face. Even if your shot is homing, with enough distance she can predict the trajectory and prepare a defense.
This was somewhat hinted during the Denken fight where she closed in quick then blasted him point blank, now the clone is trying the same thing to Frieren. Love these more subtle approach in their fights as opposed to most anime having monologue long explanations during their fights.
@@snimon5824 I'd like to think that the clone is smart enough to know that the safest place in this fight is to be as close to Frieren as possible, because it definitely knows that Fern is waiting somewhere.
Great to see Frieren using other spells, way more chaotic than the usual zoltraak. Frieren may have a flaw, but it becomes impractical to try to overcome it if one isn’t even as strong as herself. That is there only to give false hope, or as an elaborated bait.
I like how those spells turn into pure chaos: Purple mess or disintegration of the falling pillar, good luck to survive such AOEs, those look like a pure death if they touch you.
@@iliadx7495 yeah lol, i tried read the latest manga chap a week ago to see how the fight and like "wtf is this naration everywhere panels after panel" lmao
This is what a well-written heroine is, and not even one, but a whole bunch of female characters, and these are not latex, wax-type images of feminism of a new type, but the real essence of the concept is revealed in times of threat, but this work is not about that, but about so coolly written heroines you don't meet that often anymore.

@@MirecU Yep frieren said they'll win faster if everyone attacks frieren's clone together including frieren herself . But a lot of people will die as a result which is not worth it
One copl detail is that frieren can sense fern, but rhe copy cant becuase she is casting a spell. This means freiren was intentionally putting herself in disadvantageous situations to give fern the opening.
The original Frieren can't either. Because if the original Frieren could, so could the clone. They both casted a spell simultaneously, Fern started hiding her mana at that point, and then continued hiding her mana keeping herself hidden from both Frierens. They just planned out the entire battle sequence in advance, so original Frieren knows where Fern will be. That's why they showed a part with a drawing on the ground
@@theunknownperson666real frieren was not casting at the last moment. That is why she was smiling as she could detect Fern, while the fake frieren casting could not
Idk they were fighting inside an enclosed space under tons of stone and dirt. It's probably just a fraction of her spells or simply the strongest she's willing to pull up indoors.
One of this series greatest strengths is how well it handles the flow of time. The 80 years since Zolraak was introduced to the world by the demons is less time to her than smart phones have existed to my 80 year old grandfather. To her it's still new, but Fern has always had knowledge of it. World building and character growth in perfect balance.
That animation is so cool that I just cant stop looking to read the subtitles, at this point I will have to watch it twice and I know I wont regret it!
Frieren says to Fern "even I can't detect you easily". The implication being that she CAN detect Fern, if she really tries and focuses. ie Fern is not completely invisible, and she cannot successfully hide from Frieren in a one-on-one scenario. Frieren needs to be distracted so she cannot focus on searching for Fern. This in turn means that the Fern clone will also not be completely undetectable. If there is someone among the examinees who is a specialist at detecting hidden mana, that person may be able to detect the Fern clone and warn the others if the Fern clone tries to ambush them.
The issue wasnt that frieren couldnt detect fern only. The other issue is that when frieren fires a spell she can no longer detect mana a very childish issue as noted in the show as even kids learn to not do that...but she has all the time in the world
The window in which Frieren drops her mana detection after casting a spell is very short. Not long enough for Fern to snipe her on her own in a 1 v 1 scenario. The strategy they used was for Frieren to provoke the clone into casting a spell to create the window, and then for Fern to conceal her Mana and hide. From that point on the Frieren clone doesn’t know where Fern is. It could find her again with Mana detection, but not while being distracted by having to fight the real Frieren. That in turn gives the opportunity to maneuver the clone into a position where Fern can snipe it with a surprise attack from an unexpected direction.
@@adamwu4565 in the end fern found it out and is only a young adult, not her prime as well as the fact 11 other human sorcerers have found this weakness in her abilities and have beaten her because of it Even Qual a genius most likely knew this and used it to win a 1v4
@@kerroseir4764 It is not necessarily the case that Frieren lost those battles because of this particular weakness. She could easily have lost for other reasons.
For every child, a parent is a barrier to overcome, and Frieren looks so proud. But Ferns success is also a symbol for the age of humans, which the flashback was about. And Frieren couldn't be more excited what kind of magic that will bring.
This was battle of 2 equal mages in body, mind, power and knowledge, it showed perfectly how fighting clone should look like, and was beautiful to boot
I love this show so much because, yes Frieren is Unbelievably powerful but She still faces challenges and obstacles that even she can and will struggle with regardless of her power Which helps show and re-enforce the idea that "Power is not everything"
0:47 Frieren casts vollzanbel, a red spell. Clone frieren blocks it by casting Judradjim *a purple spell* , and attacks again using the same *purple* spell. 2:01 The wall behind fern glows red, then purple, then purple again The attention to details in this anime is indescribable
@@DiamondDog_ I think that might actually be Frieren's fault. At the last moment, just before Fern attacked, she couldn't contain her pride in her apprentice, dropped her usual stoic battle-face, and smiled. And the clone noticed it. It probably tipped the clone off that an attack from Fern was incoming, giving it a split second of extra time to cast the defence spell.
@@adamwu4565 Yes, however, Frieren's clone is a perfect image of himself now, but the Frieren doesn't realize it, and in the end, Frieren is the one who defeats his own clone, later there will be a funny scene where the only person in history, Serie is rejected by humans because of his invitation to become his student, and that is Fern.
@@DiamondDog_ Fern had already crippled the clone at that point with her second Zoltraak snipe. The manga called it a "mortal wound", so the clone was already dying. It just didn't die instantly, and had enough time left to counterattack Fern, so Frieren finished it off.
@@extremelynoobgaming4742 they are plenty long enough. They get right to the point like they should be. Mages try to win from the start. In other animes it’s unrealistic for the sake of making the fight longer which is a bad thing
Im only thinking about that this isn't even her going all out. She's indoors under tons of stone and dirt following a plan designing to keep fern safe and out of the detection . She probably just pulling out the spells with max damage and a relatively "small" aoe.
This anime starts off pretty slow, but I'll tell you this much. When it comes to action, the animation is so crisp, and the sound effects for spells are awesome. The music score is fire as well.
Unfortunately casuals with low attention span and zoomers won't make it through the first 2 episodes, so this anime won't get as much attention as it deserves.
@THExJMC I love this anime. It's one of the very few that doesn't make all the chick's look like sluts with giant tits flaunting their bodies around half the time. It focuses on character development and the story very well.
@@THExJMC stop being a boomer, this anime is super popular, new generations are perfectly capable of appreciating slower paced stories, just have to be a good story with themes that actually speaks to them.
@@Laezar1 I literally know a bunch of people who quit it by episode 2 because they thought she was just doing side quests. These people are the typical shonen-only watchers and that is a super popular type of anime-viewer.
@@THExJMC Does that define a generation though? I don't think so. And again frieren is incredibly popular, of course not everybody's going to like it but idk, that's fine, no matter how good something is it won't always resonate with everyone. I'm sure you've had things that everyone loved that you couldn't see the appeal of. It's really not a generational thing, every generation since basically the start of documented history has been whining about the previous generation being worse than them. Usually comes from a place of resistance to change or simply not understanding that younger generation are... well... younger so comparing them to yourself in the present isn't good and comparing them to your idealized idea of what your generation was like in the past is even more foolish.
I also love the sound and music design. It goes hard when there's action and goes low for the exposition parts. It's also the type of music you can add in any RPG boss battles! I also noticed that the music after it cuts back to Frieren Vs Clone is a different one! It's basically a Phase 2 boss battle with the Choir about to start singing in Latin! Some anime is just bad at this and use some music and effects during inappropriate times. LOOKING AT YOU OPM SEASON 2!
Frieren's little smile, and her clone's expression change in reaction to it, gave away Fern's attack just soon enough for the clone to block and survive it. The attention to detail in this anime is insane.
The clone would probably just blow it up because Feieren would do the same but it messs up her hair so if she has allies she prefers them to get her out
I love that we finally get a solid view of those "flashy" spells Himmel told her to stop using 🙌 Just from how Fern was fighting for her life to just stay out of the blast radius, you can see why Himmel begged her to stop
The Harry Potter shit does have its merits too, I think it’s cool that it’s a little like magical fencing, but this is just way more spectacular and awe inspiring.
@@friedhotwings Disagree. We see Methode standing near Fern's clone as it disintegrates, meaning Methode had managed to close the gap on Fern, despite being attacked by her Zoltraak barrage. This means that their battle had been fairly evenly matched, and might have even been tipping into Methode's favor before it was cut short. Fern also has no answer against Wirbel's Solganeil. In fact, her strategy of launching a barrage from a distance works against her since it's much easier to see her entire body from a distance. Meaning she'd struggle against Wirbel and Ubel. Finally, we've never actually seen Land go all out. But the fact that Fern wasn't able to tell that the Land she was with during the 1st Exam was a clone means she'd be at a severe disadvantage from a tactical perspetive. Denken is up in the air, because the only opponent we've seen him fight for an extended period of time was Frieren, and she bodies everyone in that exam. But I could also see him defeating her just through more battle experience against strong mages.
@@Birthday888 tons of assumptions you’re making. The show makes it very clear that Fern could beat any mage of this era with her current abilities. Methode being her weakest matchup and yet still not losing to Methode. Not interested in debating this either. I could easily argue why Fern would win each of the matchups you just mentioned, but it’s exhausting convincing people who don’t understand the story very well. Tired of people failing to understand context clues and explicit writing (won’t be reading any replies).
@@friedhotwings All you have are assumptions as well. Methode beat Fern's clone and that's a FACT. And don't argue with me until you have anything concrete as I could easily tell that you're bias towards Fern. Tired of people who think they knew more than they do and can't comprehend how pitiful they actually are.
Im not sure if the defensive spell is automatic, since all the mages seem be consciously aware of threats to cast them (otherwise ambush won't even work on mages) We have never seen her cast precise defense before since she never had to care about mana conservation, so her barriers are usually a bit larger than needed. I see it as showing Frieren being so skilled and precise in casting defense that she can accurately predict where the opponent staff is pointing.
This anime make magic and wizards cool again, I was kinda bored of the battle "mages" from fairy tail or the "wizards" from jujutsu kaises. This is real OP magic and not martial arts BS.
If you think about it, the reason fern was in charge of fending all of Qual zoltraack's when they fought him, because friren knew the gap she had when trying to react to zoltraack
U know mages in this era barely using magic that creates element bcs it will spend their mana faster, but she uses flamethrower and lighting strike that big effortlessly

What i find the most interesting in this scene is that this is the first time we see offensive spells used for defence instead of barier spell. Using Judrajim with (I assume) different polarity to counter the attack is such an amazing concept! This makes the magic system in Frieren so much deeper... Until now all we were shown were barriers and covering yourself with physical objects (Richter and Sharf for example)
I think there is a lore reason for why Frieren isn’t using barrier magic here. It’s been stated that defensive magic costs more mana than offensive magic. That being the case, it’s logical for Frieren to resist using defensive magic against a clone of herself. This is a fight against an opponent with equal skill AND mana. The mage who is the first to screw up their mana efficiency is the mage that is probably going to lose. That’s why both of them are using the same spell to attack the other, and using the same spell to block, because they don’t want to spend more mana than the other one is already using
It could also be that using modern magic would put Frieren at a disadvantage because, as Frieren stated earlier, being an elf makes her slow to adapt to new paradigms in magic. She is probably MORE skilled using old school magic, and it wouldn’t surprise me to learn the spells she’s throwing around so casually here are ANCIENT.
It cements what Friren tells us when she says modern defensive magic was built to counter Zoltraak exactly. Freren theoretically leaves a small opening when she both uses and blocks the spell, and the opening on use would cause Friren to die before a block would be necessary. Assuming both know that casting Zoltraak would be a deadly mistake, both would discard the spell expressly used to counter it.
However, despite it being a mistake normally, they would consider blitzing each other down with it before the other could react as an opening move. After all, the delay from the confidence they wouldn't face it compounded with the normal block delay and quick casting speed invites a potential avenue for victory. The initial block was probably testing for that move, and now that it happened, both are confident that a surprise attack isn't coming since it didn't occur at the most optimal time and the other has shown they are looking out for it.
As for Judrajim, I have a feeling its use has more to do with its random movements than normal combat effectiveness. We were told prior that facing yourself comes down to a contest of luck, and a lightning spell that constantly arcs eratically gives the most opportunities for luck to happen. After all, any spell shot at Friren point blank is getting dodged, but Judrajim has the chance of arcing in the direction of the dodge and hitting anyways.
@@theglitch5386It may also be that it’s particularly difficult for the barrier to block. They started with barriers but then went straight to Judrajim which suggests the barrier cannot block it or it cannot block it accurately or it would take a lot of energy to block. The barrier spell matches and disperses the energy of the spell it comes into contact with which is versatile but it could be that Judrajim bolts constantly shift in energy level and so they wouldn’t be completely blocked by the barrier spell. If anyone knows at least one spell that would bypass the modern barrier spell it would be Frieren or Serie
@@theglitch5386I think that another factor to start with Judrajim was Fern. Frieren clone do not wanted a 2 vs 1, and used magic with great area of effect, to eliminate Fern, without putting herself at disavantage with the original. Of course, Frieren read that pattern and adviced Fern about it.
2:14 What i loved the most about this fight was that the clone realised that something was wrong and reacted just by reading Frierens facial expression see the way she smiles and the clones eyes change in response these tiny details during the fight are outstanding! I actually think if she hadn't smiled Fern might of been able to end the fight there and then.
Yeah, I remember watching the latest episode and being a bit confused the clone wasn't dead until I realised this must've failed.
That is a detail am noticing just now even after 2 rewatches TuT, explains why clone didnt die . i thought fern was just weaker
What i love about Frieren is that they dont announce every single attack. They just show dont tell
Its scary to think that fern's copy is just somewhere else lurking and waiting to jumpscare zoltraak them. But dont spoil me, its just my speculation.
Omg wtf thats so true. Puts a whole new meaning on “your zoltraak can kill me”
Oh shit, I forgot about that, Fern knows her weaknesses, while she can't just surprise her while she's sitting, a surprise attack while they're fighting off the other mimics could be a possibility.
To be precise frieren can not stop it only if she is caught be complete surprise plus while battling a mage as good as herself. Can't quick scope frieren when she is just chilling @@lolosh99
@@neerajnongmaithem392 yeah, they made the entire plan based on exploiting frieren's inability to detect mana WHILE casting a spell, which is exactly what happened. Mud clone was casting a spell point blank to finish off frieren, so fern could use zoltraak unnoticed
and also it laserjagd-ing em'
other Mages: *use barriers to counter spells (which uses more mana)*
Frieren: *uses offensive magic with same power and aoe as the enemy's (uses less mana)*
other Mages: *keeps distance to cast spells at safe distance*
Frieren: *teleports to your face to blast your face off*
Frieren did something similar when fighting Denken. After her surprise attack distracted him she went up close and hit him
@@sinisterdragoon04 The Shot-Traak
The problem with the barrier spell is how mana intensive it is. Fight against yourself turns into a battle of attrition very quickly the first to defensive magic is from that very moment a losing side.
The reason why they had that contest at the start is probably to stop cheeky Zoltraak from ending the fight instantly. And the reason for those huge spells is to put the enemy at defense.
What I find interesting is that we can infer there were other defensive spells before mankind developed the anti-Zoltraak defenses, and they required less mana than these ones, but Frieren still blocked the incoming attacks with her own ones. It makes me think that this method is more efficient than the modern mages paradigm of defense-against-attack, but it can't be applied for some reason, probably that a Zoltraak can't block other Zoltraak.
@@granito555 I think there was an explanation when they took out the demon who invented Zoltraak. He was sorta unbeatable likely because no one had a counter for Zoltraak. This implies that it can't be blocked with offensive spells and you either need to dodge it or use the defensive magic specifically invented for blocking it.
What I love is how these top tier spells aren’t pretty or clean, they are almost cursed in appearance, as if some great suffering was needed to invent such a spell.
Just proves that magic is basically bullying reality into doing what you want.
0:48 back in the day when you didn’t have spell-dissipating forcefields and needed to use the bwwom
they almost look like ancient and cursed deep black magic that would be frowned upon/taboo to use.
Volzanbel looks straight up as a fire as if it is summoned from the depths of Hell. this Hellfire, it evaporated a building sized stone in a blink. like wtf.
also i like how in next part of the fight they just start using spells that seems like tearing the fabric of reality or breaking space-time wherever they are cast.
@@btchiaintkidding7837Volzanbel is actually known as hellfire summoning in the manga
I wouldn't be surprised if it's some crazy ancient shit that's been long forgotten, or straight up outlawed by some magical committees for being too destructive or rooted in dark/cursed magic.
One detail I love about this fight is at 2:12, when the music goes quiet and changes to a rendition of Fern's theme the moment she shoots zoltrak. Just goes to show how good thematic story telling can be without dialogue and how pivitoal fern was to this fight and the heights she has grown since learning magic.
From shooting at a boulder to shooting at one of the strongest mages in history
This show is basically a master class in "Show, don't tell."
Man the fact that we havent seen her use these spells till this episode is insane, she truely believes that these destructive flashy spells are only useful to fight against an enemy of her own caliber. I kinda wanna see frieren vs serie bc i fear that no other foe is gonna make her fight like this,its kinda beautiful.
Well there are great demons equally strong and even more skilled than Frieren, the power system balance in Frieren it's great, there are no unkillable beings here.
Makes you wonder about the fights she lost though...
Don't worry, you'll eventually get to see Frieren fight an enemy of her own caliber.
@@thatrabidpotato88002 demons to be fair, but its more like 2 senior citizens working together against the most OP power couple.
We never will. Unlike the Cell Games, the cameramen would be obliterated in the first few seconds. It would be like working at ground zero in a nuclear war.
This show really proves a point with a "less is more" approach. Not that it actually is "less" per say, but the actual fighting part of the fight scene isn't very long. It doesn't have to be, because the story uses the timing of it's music with some very impactful flashbacks to deliver a very emotional climax to the scene.
I think watching the clip of just the fight on youtube doesn't do it much justice if you're only seeing it for the first time though, it's absolutely brilliant when you're watching the episode and everything's in context.
I'm just happy that we fights we do get are actually superbly animated, soundscaped and choreographed.
You can tell that they went for quality over quantity as opposed to 95 % of "isekai" or fantasy-themed animes we had in recent years.
I can watch a 3 second clip of Linie conjuring an axe and tearing up the crenellations to gain momentum to crush Stark a hundred times before I will watch what passes for a fight scene in "reincarnated into a fantasy world as some uninspired MC template with -insert modern convenience here-".
The time available to produce the next episode (ie one week) frequently limits how ambitious the animators can be with their animation. So a short combat sequence means the animation team has more leeway to really go all out on the quality of the animation therein.
@@adamwu4565 That would open the question of how the more impressive shows like OPM or the Fate series manage to do it despite that.
It's worth noting that not all studios produce episodes WHILE airing.
That's mostly a factor for long-running shows like Naturo, Bleach and One Piece - where the show has been on air so long that no amount of backlog would've let them handle the demand.
Shorter "one season" animes are frequently made months, sometimes years in advance. For them, it's more a question of production costs (billable hours) than total time spent per episode.
@@AndragonLea They spend more money on their production. Hire more animators. Force them to work longer hours. And so forth.
1:18 Can’t believe I never noticed on the right. How is Kanne always getting violated😂😭
よく気づきましたねｗ爆笑しました
Something I noticed about the episode, this is the only time Frieren doesn't just spam Zoltraak for offense, which she previously called "good enough" to defeat mages of that era.
We got to see how two ancient spellcasters fought, and the power they wielded.
She is not a mage of this era, so ofc she needs to use the full arsenal against herself :)
Don't diss on the weakened version of Zoltraak. See the next episode for the reason why.
0:40 the lady boss walk is everything!
Such an amazing scene which really showcase what a battle between two archmages would be like😍
Next ep It'll keep going though
there are Level 1 Mage that pretty Powerfull that One time succesfully beat Serie in Training Match.
These kinds of replay videos that show full scenes are better than those that kept on cutting some of the scenes
It has more chances of getting copyright claim.Thats why people often cut scenes inbetween.
Yeah that’s how it’s nowadays, can’t get a good clip unless you put a disclaimer beforehand, even then that’s if the algo bot doesn’t fuck it over
Notice how, at the last moment, just before Fern launches her attack, Frieren smiled, and the clone, seeing this, frowned. Did this tip off the clone that a surprise attack from Fern was incoming? This further emphasizes why Frieren is usually so stone-faced and stoic in combat, and taught Fern to do the same, and why most of the other mages also try to keep their facial expressions minimized while fighting. The smallest facial tic can tip off a sufficiently skilled opponent and help them anticipate your next move.
I love how the clone went for a point blank shot the second she saw an opening like “dodge this”
2:21 me leaving the basement for the first time in 3 weeks and facing the unmatched power of the sun
That point-blank Vollzanbel was insane
Battlemage in most fantasy is always shown like that if I am not wrong they're lore accurately immune to their own spells so using a AoE magic point blank is viable
0:30
I love this detail, frieren and its clone doesn't care about the wall falling to crush them, because whoever tries to evade the wall... will be open to attacks.
What frieren did is she casted an offensive spell to her clone, that can simultaneously destroy the wall to prevent herself from getting crushed.
Judrajim is basically an oversized plasma ball
lightning is made out of plasma afterall.
It like thundaja from FF

They really made it feel like two gods were going against each other,they handled the symmetric aesthetic of them fighting so amazingly well. While with Ubel it was mostly mirrored close combat with a couple spells,Frieren is just raw power and you can really feel it,especially with that badass slow walk in front of the fire

Old man Denken had the right decision to stand down
He did not reach old age as an imperial mage for nothing.
He's definitely no dummy
They gave a mage fight the intensity of an active warzone. Brilliant.
Watching Lavine beating up Kanne in the background will never stop being funny
So lesbian tension❤
I do love that the fight started with them testing each other defenses.
0:48 when the clone block frieren's magic not with barrier but different type of magic is 🔥
Denken fire magic, just fire.
Frieren fire magic, evaporates stone.
Also I love how it shows how Frieren actual spell usage.
She mostly used this purple lightning beam instead of the Zoltraak versions.
Man, Studio Madhouse doesn't miss. This was SO GOOD!
0:11 The Face of Fern😅
Frieren isn't even on screen
@@TheThursty100 sorry Fern😂🤣
mages: I use long range spells so it makes sense to use it for long ranged targets
frieren:
same thought here, she actually comes in close rather than keeping distance as usually portrayed for mages.
It’s refreshing to see a mage who uses their teleportation to close the distance
I mean it is logical. No way you can avoid a point blank shot to the face. Even if your shot is homing, with enough distance she can predict the trajectory and prepare a defense.
This was somewhat hinted during the Denken fight where she closed in quick then blasted him point blank, now the clone is trying the same thing to Frieren.
Love these more subtle approach in their fights as opposed to most anime having monologue long explanations during their fights.
@@snimon5824 I'd like to think that the clone is smart enough to know that the safest place in this fight is to be as close to Frieren as possible, because it definitely knows that Fern is waiting somewhere.
Watching this fight...just how goddamn impressive is Serie if she thinks Freiren is kind of a sloppy mage for her age....?
Zerie's state of limited magic is equivalent to Freeren's free state.
This one fight could become a hundred wallpapers or posters, each frame is gorgeous 😍
every frame a painting
The black hole spell was beautifully done
Great to see Frieren using other spells, way more chaotic than the usual zoltraak.
Frieren may have a flaw, but it becomes impractical to try to overcome it if one isn’t even as strong as herself. That is there only to give false hope, or as an elaborated bait.
I like how those spells turn into pure chaos: Purple mess or disintegration of the falling pillar, good luck to survive such AOEs, those look like a pure death if they touch you.

Cmon bro those animators stayed up overtime to give us those scenes
This is what a well-written heroine is, and not even one, but a whole bunch of female characters, and these are not latex, wax-type images of feminism of a new type, but the real essence of the concept is revealed in times of threat, but this work is not about that, but about so coolly written heroines you don't meet that often anymore.
The girls in this anime are the *real* strong female characters that people like seeing and are an actual presentation of the concept instead of the usual mary sues or being a "strong male character except female"
Okay. Okay, you persuaded me to watch this anime, you won.
Better late than never
"Of course I know her, she's me" moment indeed
I kinda wish the others were inside watching Frieren, just in awe of her power

@@MirecU Yep frieren said they'll win faster if everyone attacks frieren's clone together including frieren herself . But a lot of people will die as a result which is not worth it

The pride on Frieren's face in knowing Fern can kill her. 😅
0:48 magic parry sfx is so friggin good
That's madhouse studio for you😎
Do not let the main big battle distract you from the fact that 2 mages were also fighting for their lives in the background at 1:04
One copl detail is that frieren can sense fern, but rhe copy cant becuase she is casting a spell. This means freiren was intentionally putting herself in disadvantageous situations to give fern the opening.
However true Frieren's smile gave it away.
The original Frieren can't either. Because if the original Frieren could, so could the clone. They both casted a spell simultaneously, Fern started hiding her mana at that point, and then continued hiding her mana keeping herself hidden from both Frierens.
They just planned out the entire battle sequence in advance, so original Frieren knows where Fern will be. That's why they showed a part with a drawing on the ground
@@theunknownperson666real frieren was not casting at the last moment. That is why she was smiling as she could detect Fern, while the fake frieren casting could not
The unrestricted warfare frieren
Idk they were fighting inside an enclosed space under tons of stone and dirt. It's probably just a fraction of her spells or simply the strongest she's willing to pull up indoors.
@@IkariNoiyup, if it's an open space, we would see nu*es
Frieren when she violates the Geneva Convention.
One of this series greatest strengths is how well it handles the flow of time. The 80 years since Zolraak was introduced to the world by the demons is less time to her than smart phones have existed to my 80 year old grandfather. To her it's still new, but Fern has always had knowledge of it. World building and character growth in perfect balance.
That animation is so cool that I just cant stop looking to read the subtitles, at this point I will have to watch it twice and I know I wont regret it!
I really do love this anime like in a different level. It may sound weird but it gives me a nostalgic feeling when I was a kid playing a game on PSP.
Frieren says to Fern "even I can't detect you easily". The implication being that she CAN detect Fern, if she really tries and focuses. ie Fern is not completely invisible, and she cannot successfully hide from Frieren in a one-on-one scenario. Frieren needs to be distracted so she cannot focus on searching for Fern. This in turn means that the Fern clone will also not be completely undetectable. If there is someone among the examinees who is a specialist at detecting hidden mana, that person may be able to detect the Fern clone and warn the others if the Fern clone tries to ambush them.
The issue wasnt that frieren couldnt detect fern only. The other issue is that when frieren fires a spell she can no longer detect mana a very childish issue as noted in the show as even kids learn to not do that...but she has all the time in the world
The window in which Frieren drops her mana detection after casting a spell is very short. Not long enough for Fern to snipe her on her own in a 1 v 1 scenario.
The strategy they used was for Frieren to provoke the clone into casting a spell to create the window, and then for Fern to conceal her Mana and hide. From that point on the Frieren clone doesn’t know where Fern is. It could find her again with Mana detection, but not while being distracted by having to fight the real Frieren. That in turn gives the opportunity to maneuver the clone into a position where Fern can snipe it with a surprise attack from an unexpected direction.
@@adamwu4565 in the end fern found it out and is only a young adult, not her prime as well as the fact 11 other human sorcerers have found this weakness in her abilities and have beaten her because of it

That some ancient spell shit bro i swear 😂 frieren is beast
For every child, a parent is a barrier to overcome, and Frieren looks so proud. But Ferns success is also a symbol for the age of humans, which the flashback was about. And Frieren couldn't be more excited what kind of magic that will bring.
This was battle of 2 equal mages in body, mind, power and knowledge, it showed perfectly how fighting clone should look like, and was beautiful to boot
I love this show so much
because, yes Frieren is Unbelievably powerful
but
She still faces challenges and obstacles that even she can and will struggle with regardless of her power
Which helps show and re-enforce the idea that "Power is not everything"
0:47 Frieren casts vollzanbel, a red spell. Clone frieren blocks it by casting Judradjim *a purple spell* , and attacks again using the same *purple* spell.
2:01 The wall behind fern glows red, then purple, then purple again
The attention to details in this anime is indescribable
I love this show so much
Indeed. It's like a flashback on fern side. When fern peek and ready to attack, the clone is already aiming to frieren
1:54 feels like a heavy foreshadow
Oi 😢
Fighting Frieren at full power while praying that Fern won't snipe you from shadows sounds pretty hard.
and the attack fails, as frieren's clone blocks it 🤣🤣 even fern almost died due to the counter attack from clone frieren🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DiamondDog_ I think that might actually be Frieren's fault. At the last moment, just before Fern attacked, she couldn't contain her pride in her apprentice, dropped her usual stoic battle-face, and smiled. And the clone noticed it. It probably tipped the clone off that an attack from Fern was incoming, giving it a split second of extra time to cast the defence spell.
@@adamwu4565 Yes, however, Frieren's clone is a perfect image of himself now, but the Frieren doesn't realize it, and in the end, Frieren is the one who defeats his own clone, later there will be a funny scene where the only person in history, Serie is rejected by humans because of his invitation to become his student, and that is Fern.
@@DiamondDog_ Fern had already crippled the clone at that point with her second Zoltraak snipe. The manga called it a "mortal wound", so the clone was already dying. It just didn't die instantly, and had enough time left to counterattack Fern, so Frieren finished it off.

Im only thinking about that this isn't even her going all out. She's indoors under tons of stone and dirt following a plan designing to keep fern safe and out of the detection . She probably just pulling out the spells with max damage and a relatively "small" aoe.
This anime starts off pretty slow, but I'll tell you this much. When it comes to action, the animation is so crisp, and the sound effects for spells are awesome.
The music score is fire as well.
Unfortunately casuals with low attention span and zoomers won't make it through the first 2 episodes, so this anime won't get as much attention as it deserves.

And again frieren is incredibly popular, of course not everybody's going to like it but idk, that's fine, no matter how good something is it won't always resonate with everyone.
I'm sure you've had things that everyone loved that you couldn't see the appeal of.
It's really not a generational thing, every generation since basically the start of documented history has been whining about the previous generation being worse than them. Usually comes from a place of resistance to change or simply not understanding that younger generation are... well... younger so comparing them to yourself in the present isn't good and comparing them to your idealized idea of what your generation was like in the past is even more foolish.
That share fear on Fern face when she is in fight with two Frierens going all out fight gave me chills 😅
I also love the sound and music design. It goes hard when there's action and goes low for the exposition parts.
It's also the type of music you can add in any RPG boss battles! I also noticed that the music after it cuts back to Frieren Vs Clone is a different one! It's basically a Phase 2 boss battle with the Choir about to start singing in Latin!
Some anime is just bad at this and use some music and effects during inappropriate times.
LOOKING AT YOU OPM SEASON 2!
There's something poetic in the only way to defeat yourself, you can't do by yourself alone
1:15 the 2 wrestling in the background of strategy meeting is hilarious
Frieren's little smile, and her clone's expression change in reaction to it, gave away Fern's attack just soon enough for the clone to block and survive it. The attention to detail in this anime is insane.
it probably would have been quicker just to use a mimic to trap fake-frieren
Appearantly clone doesn't have minds
Ends up trapping both Frieren
Apparently developers thought of that and made a patch to prevent anyone from cheesing it.
The clone would probably just blow it up because Feieren would do the same but it messs up her hair so if she has allies she prefers them to get her out
I can see that backfire easily ^^'
The most impressive thing I've ever seen is definitely the way Frieren uses her shield at the beginning. It's too good
Imagine standing behind the boss room door and hearing the apocalypse unfolding, and that’s the warm up
This shows that one who knows themselves is truly a force to be reckoned with.
It's not just the battle, the background music is so perfect!!!
I love that we finally get a solid view of those "flashy" spells Himmel told her to stop using 🙌
Just from how Fern was fighting for her life to just stay out of the blast radius, you can see why Himmel begged her to stop
Imagine those other mages outside the door see their battle
This music is amazing. I hope they release the soundtrack soon.

@@solaris5922I believe this is how they show affection to each other. They're a very weird pair.
Now that's what a mage battle should look like. None of that Harry Potter shit.
The Harry Potter shit does have its merits too, I think it’s cool that it’s a little like magical fencing, but this is just way more spectacular and awe inspiring.
It sort of tracks that a millenia old practitioner of magic would be able to outgun middle-school kids acting by their school's rules and customs no?
Animation gives you the freedom to do stuff you can't easily replicate in live action without flat out killing your stunt doubles.
I like how WWE is literally happening in the background.
It's funny how Fern would realistically body every Mage there, if they weren't all pre-occupied being terrified of Frieren.
Yup
@@friedhotwings Disagree. We see Methode standing near Fern's clone as it disintegrates, meaning Methode had managed to close the gap on Fern, despite being attacked by her Zoltraak barrage. This means that their battle had been fairly evenly matched, and might have even been tipping into Methode's favor before it was cut short.
Fern also has no answer against Wirbel's Solganeil. In fact, her strategy of launching a barrage from a distance works against her since it's much easier to see her entire body from a distance. Meaning she'd struggle against Wirbel and Ubel. Finally, we've never actually seen Land go all out. But the fact that Fern wasn't able to tell that the Land she was with during the 1st Exam was a clone means she'd be at a severe disadvantage from a tactical perspetive.
Denken is up in the air, because the only opponent we've seen him fight for an extended period of time was Frieren, and she bodies everyone in that exam. But I could also see him defeating her just through more battle experience against strong mages.
@@Birthday888 tons of assumptions you’re making. The show makes it very clear that Fern could beat any mage of this era with her current abilities. Methode being her weakest matchup and yet still not losing to Methode. Not interested in debating this either. I could easily argue why Fern would win each of the matchups you just mentioned, but it’s exhausting convincing people who don’t understand the story very well. Tired of people failing to understand context clues and explicit writing (won’t be reading any replies).
@@friedhotwings Then why respond in the first place lol.
@@friedhotwings All you have are assumptions as well. Methode beat Fern's clone and that's a FACT.

1:03 and 1:19 those two at background 😂😂😂😂😂
Can we get a Fern vs Lügner Cut?
Yours are currently the best out there :)
here is my cut but not for fern
I like their automatic defensive spell anticipating each other's attack on 0:05
Im not sure if the defensive spell is automatic, since all the mages seem be consciously aware of threats to cast them (otherwise ambush won't even work on mages)
We have never seen her cast precise defense before since she never had to care about mana conservation, so her barriers are usually a bit larger than needed.
I see it as showing Frieren being so skilled and precise in casting defense that she can accurately predict where the opponent staff is pointing.
when you have a perfectly balanced scale, all it takes is a single ounce to tip it to one side.
"After all, no one knows how dangerous I am more than myself"
