Frieren hated demons so much that she developed Zoltrak into a demon killing spell and spread among mages so much that it officially became "ordinary offensive magic", secretly turning everyone into a demon killing specialist
While that's partially true, we don't know if most mages' Zoltraak is the same as the one Frieren uses. She probably has kept modifying it long after she "gave it" to humanity so it's likely the spell she and Fern use is not the same Zoltraak that every other mage uses. The demons would have noticed if every mage ran around using a demon killing spell in their base kit I think. After all the demon said "We overcame Zoltraak 50 years ago", why would demons focus so much on overcoming a single spell like Zoltraak? Demons specialise in a single spell, and we saw no demon beside Qual who was presumed dead or missing use Zoltraak, so that means they overcame it to fight human mages, and if human mages used a modified version that the demon's analysis didn't cover, the demons would have noticed in the past 50 years. So yeah it's very likely most humans use something close to normal Zoltraak while Fern and Frieren use the demon-killing version that Frieren refined in the decades after she finished analysing the normal Zoltraak.
@@Arkayjiya hmm, actually I disagree with this. Normal Zoltraak is a dark black beam as we see Qual using it in Ep.3 and is shown again later in the show as well being used by an equally powerful mage (avoiding spoilers) that is also black, where as "ordinary offensive magic" is a white/light blue beam which is the demon killing variety. Fern learned Zoltraak before she even met Frieren, it was already etched into her very being as a mage from an incredibly young age, Frieren didn't teach her anything special about the Zoltraak spell, she helped her with the fundamentals so her Zoltraak could reach the rock. It makes sense to me that Frieren likely altered Zoltraak slightly to make it specialized in demon killing while she was contributing to the analysis, secretly taking Quals ultimate weapon and tuning it to work against his kind without anybody knowing, likely not even the humans. Frieren and Fern are just more exceptional than the average mage, and again to avoid any spoilers its made pretty clear later on just how out of the ordinary they both are, especially when talking with serie.
@@Commanderstevo The coloring is meaningless. It's not even canon as far as I can tell. Zoltrack is always white until way later (and we don't even know if the black version is actually Zoltraak, it's not confirmed as far as I can tell). Qual's Zoltrack is white, Frieren's Zoltraak is white, Fern's Zoltraak is white, everybody's Zoltraak is white including the demon. The first time we start seeing a similar black spell is with the double during the exam but it's not the version the Demon called "demon-killing magic" as that one was white (also the demon specifically mention that Fern's version reminds him of Frieren and literally no one else. Like, has the guy not seen a single Zoltraak in 28 to 50 years? Makes no sense). Although interestingly, the Frieren clone spell seems to be a more powerful version of the spell Lerrnen uses. It might be a more focused Zoltraak, it might not, we don't know. Either way, it doesn't appear earlier and Qual certainly doesn't use it so it's not "the normal Zoltraak". Another strong proof that the black version is not "Qual's Zoltraak" is that it's massively more powerful and isn't blocked by shields while Qual's was. So the black spell isn't "Qual's Zoltraak" and it's not the standard "human Zoltraak" either as this one has been white since the start, ergo the coloring is irrelevant to our discussion. "Fern learned Zoltraak before she even met Frieren" Sure, and then Frieren kept teaching her magic for half a decade off screen so that also doesn't mean much, especially when it comes to slightly modifying a spell she's already very familiar with. And we have the Demon specifically telling us it's Frieren's spell (once again, him not seeing a single Zoltraak is 50 years is extremely unlikely, even mages with specialty use it such as Wirbel who can be seen using it in the manga even after the surprise attack. The demons have no reason to focus so much on overcoming Zoltraak as a species other than the fact humans use it massively).
One of the coldest title drops ever😂 "Sousou" is a word written with two kanji, the first meaning "to bury", the second meaning "to send off". "Sousou no Frieren" was first interpreted the sad way implying that Frieren sends off everyone she outlives because of her elven lifespan. But here comes ep8 to twist it, reveling us that it is in fact a nickname demons gave her after sending countless demons to their graves... For the subtitles they decided to go for "Frieren the Slayer", which is really badass but obviously lises the double meaning and the twist that comes with it... But it's fine cause it's cold as F
the orginaly nickname is still way more scary. i mean, "the Slayer" sounds like she's gonna kill you, but original one means she's gonna bury you, like if its not even a question if she kill you or not...
you could also interpret it as "frieren the burier" or something, she quite literally buries people by outliving them, but by also killing most demons, bad ass title either way
Thus, "the slayer" is bad translation and also sounds so cheesy, kind of an elementary schooler would use as a Half-Life nickname. They could easily go with "journey's end" translation as a double-meaning for both her ending the journey of demons and her being at the end of the journey of her friends graveyard. Such a missed oppertunity to drop anime's full name as her nickname.
If you recall at the end of the first episode, Frieren had trouble finding young Fern because she could barely detect her mana. She was a war orphan, and its implied that she had to cultivate the skill of concealing herself from a young age for survival. Add on Frieren's tutelage while young, and it makes sense that she's developed into a mage that specializes in stealth.
@@REDHOTFANG he did, using Frieren as the ideal image of a mage, he taught Fern the basics of how to best become a mage before Frieren came around to see him.
I love Stark trying to hide his food from Fern lmao after she scarfed down her food. Moments like that with them together is great for their chemistry. Crazy how Fern hiding her presence became a thing ever since we first met her. Especially with how good she is at it.
Frieren is soo badass and a legendary figure even among demons she is a myth and they call her "frieren the slayer"....... She looks like a petit cute elf of bearly 5'3 tall but she still terrefies the entire demons race lol, powerful beings who can live thousands of years old. 😂🤣 Going back on the prison fight, first frieren was brutal but second I love how demons don't have any emotions except when it comes to the fear of death,
Over a thousand years of age and multiple adventure with Flamme and the heroes, Frieren understands magic and strength really well. If she says you can defeat something, you can defeat it.
@@Commanderstevo, well, yea, that was WTF moment of the century, twice. first the start of the episode, even if ppl thought that it can't be this easy. and second was you-know-what-moment👁👁 😨
9:50 One of my favorite details: demons turn to ash when they die, which we can see in the opener and in this shot takes only several seconds. And yet here, Frieren is standing on a PILE of demon bodies implying that she struck the killing blow to all of them almost instantly and simultaneously, and then still had enough time to slowly drift down and land on the pile, then take aim at Lugner.
When Qual screams "My spell...!" before dying it was because Frieren modified it, like someone perverting the magic he developed and then use it to kill him xD
One show I would love for you guys to watch (& think you would love watching) is Blue Exorcist, its a fairly old show so I don’t really see it talked about much anymore but it’s truly a classic!
If you girls would like another show that captured the sort of magical feel Frieren does, IMO "Delicious in Dungeon" is fantastical too that was airing the same time Frieren was. It's another anime with a party of likeable characters.
Here a in-Depth explanation about the titel. Since the anime just recalled the title of the show with episode 08, I will try to explain to people who may not be familiar with Japanese why it is such a big deal, just a little FYI if anyone's interested. The Japanese title for this show is "Sousou no Frieren" which is also the title of episode 08. As you can see there is a short description "Sousou no" in front of our protagonist's name. Sousou (葬送) is a word that is formed by combining 2 characters each with their own meaning, 葬 "to bury" and 送 "to send off". Usually, the word has a sad and grieving nuance, but in some contexts, it also means "to kill/to end". At first, most people assumed that the title is like that because Frieren outlives all her friends, so she "sees them off" one by one. But at this point in the story, the demon reveals that it is actually a title given to her by demons because she has "sent so many demons to their deaths". People were SHOOK when this double meaning was revealed in the manga, it was just so cool lol I saw that English subtitles translated it into "Frieren the slayer", while still badass, it just doesn't fully show how the author played with words in the title, and I just think it's a pity that some people will not be able to appreciate it due to stuff lost in translation. IMO experiencing the realization that the title was not as simple as I thought was one of the highlights when reading the manga. But translation is hard, I totally get that. Pls dont use this context in a normal way of conversation. No japanese would understand this because to Bury/to send of is only using in this Anime. I'm assuming a lot of people already know this, but just in case, I wanted to create this comment, because I really love this show and I'm so happy that the anime is getting so much attention. The anime is doing such a good job, and I look forward to it every week. Cheers. Small Info: She used the therm "ippikki" Thats actual Hunters therm in japan for "one down" Demons are for Frieren less than Animals. Actually there is also a link to a post but yt just deleting links with the whole comment.
In ippikki (一匹), "一" means one and "匹" is the unit when counting animals. There is a different unit when counting humans: "人", so one human will be "一人". In this episode Frieren counts the demon as ippikki because she sees demons as animals.
@@fjoergyn I might be wrong, i just started to learn Japanese, but the characters here are all kanjis and many kanjis have different readings. Edit: For humans it's "hitori" for one.
@@fjoergyn Many languages have special rules when counting things and japanese is no exception. Altough "一" can be read "ichi" and "匹" can be read "hiki", when combined "一匹" the "ichi" turns into "ip" and "hiki" into "piki". The same with "一人". "人" can be read "nin" but combined "一人" you read "hitori". (I din't get what you mean by hiragana/katagana)
The image in the end credits of the plants and stuff coming together to create a face. That would be a great poster to put on the empty wall behind you.
People like a lot of Frieren's "faces" throughout this series, but for me on of the best is right at the beginning of this episode, when she's landed after hanging, her cloak is flaring around her head, and she's focused on her enemy.
Regarding Frieren being unable to connect with people, part of it _is_ that her sense of time is so different from humans - as we saw with Himmel's party, she kept referring to it as a "mere 10 years" and "less than 1% of my life". But also, Frieren has a lot of heavily coded autism traits (maybe or maybe not a full diagnosis), which would mean generally having a harder time picking up social cues and emotional expressions, even moreso than a regular elf.
A little info. The Japanese title is "Sousou No Frieren" which actually means Funereal Frieren. I guess the writer gave double meanings. Frieren sends off the demons and also she always has to be the one who sends off her beloved ones as well. I like it better Funereal Frieren. She is not a mere slayer but she also bears her burden of bitter destiny.
the next two episodes are going to be crazy, then episode like 18 to the end are a roller coaster. all the other episodes are great too but not as an action junky side. you guys will love this.
"Sousou no Frieren" the title = Frieren at the Funeral/Frieren at the grave. "Sousou no Frieren" the epithet = Frieren who sends you to your grave. What a great double entendre thats lost in the translation
9:44 to be fair Frieren blew him the f up 😂 he was probably in shock at the time, but the ptsd came back in time for title drop😂 Welcome to the first episode of Peak Frieren, hang onto your hats the next 3 eps will be a ride
As I wrote before, the Japanese title"Sou-sou" does not directly mean "Slayer," but from Lugner's perspective it may have that meaning. Such multifaceted titles add depth to the story.
All of the names in Frieren are German words with meaning. Frieren - to feel cold (I'm freezing) Fern - distant, far (away) Stark - strong Draht - wire Eisen - iron Flamme - flame Granat - garnet, shrimp (rarely) Heiter - cheerful, sunny Himmel - sky, heaven Kraft - power Linie - line Lügner - liar Qual - agony, torture
Frieren didn't need to cut that magic wire, she just took out the arm holding it. That demon wasn't very bright. I love how Frieren is always so calm and nonchalant.
Demon nowadays is hopeless they dont know Frieren's power. She is lowkey mage in the party of heroes thats why. Also Fern is like 2.0 Flamme if Frieren teach all her knows spell to Fern, But on this present time is not worth it to be learn, Just "ordinary spell/soultrack" will do 👌
The Frieren the Slayer part hits even harder if you speak Japanese. Im gonna explain poorly since Im just repeating from memory and dont speak Japanese myself (any Japanese speakers wanna jump in and explain better please do.) Basically it's a double entredre. Sousou no Frieren is both the title of the anime and the name he gives Frieren. The meaning most would have thought at first is something along the lines of Frieren at the Funeral. A nod to Frieren having to move past her friends deaths. The second meaning is Frieren at the funerals (since she caused them) is shown to also be true in this eposode. (Please someone help, I explained it really poorely lol)
@@RubyDianArtsundertaker is probably the closest English word for 葬送 ，I don’t speak Japanese but I know Chinese which uses the same term since it’s kanji. A more accurate translation is “send you off to in a funeral” which means both to see friends pass due to age and sending your enemies to their graves.
I kinda like the translators didn't try to shoehorn something in English. It would probably need to be pretty wordy to get the point across since the concept for the first meaning doesn't really have a short English phrase equivalent that I can think of. Taking a bit of liberty and calling it "Beyond Journey's End" kinda fits the original thought and still rolls of the tongue in English. Not to mention evokes a nice feeling of fantasy and whimsy.
Now we get a glimpse of how powerful frieren is that the demons literally gave her a nickname because of how Frieren almost put their race into extinction lol
1:34 very underrated but little thing I love about this show. Starks weird little noises in mannerisms. Sometimes it gets weird when anime characters audibly do everything and make noises for no reason but in this show it’s hilarious.
the thing only manga readers know, she's in fact the biggest threat thier kind ever faced, not because she's an elf and want to genocide them or something, there is another much worse reason, but i not gonna spoil.
Spoiler for episode 10 : What I really love, is Frieren saying "I'm stronger than Aura the guillotine". Seems like a mistake from Frieren, since her whole thing is to hide her mana in order to deceive demons. Except that she is saying that while having her mana at minimum. From the demon perspective, it's like a child with a plastic knife saying "I'm the strongest in the world", which provoked him into letting his gard down completely.
Frieren hated demons so much that she developed Zoltrak into a demon killing spell and spread among mages so much that it officially became "ordinary offensive magic", secretly turning everyone into a demon killing specialist
man frieren would love guns
While that's partially true, we don't know if most mages' Zoltraak is the same as the one Frieren uses. She probably has kept modifying it long after she "gave it" to humanity so it's likely the spell she and Fern use is not the same Zoltraak that every other mage uses.

my native language is german (i am from austria) some of the names are so funny and revealing xD "Lord Lügner" = "Lord Liar" ... "Stark" = "Strong"
Regarding Frieren being unable to connect with people, part of it _is_ that her sense of time is so different from humans - as we saw with Himmel's party, she kept referring to it as a "mere 10 years" and "less than 1% of my life". But also, Frieren has a lot of heavily coded autism traits (maybe or maybe not a full diagnosis), which would mean generally having a harder time picking up social cues and emotional expressions, even moreso than a regular elf.
Without spoiling things too much, Lügner's final line in this episode is his biggest mistake.
its not that he didnt realize it was frieren, its that he didnt pay attention to fern or stark before then.
Get ready for the next 2 episodes. Among the greatest in Anime
It should be "Frieren the undertaker"
Frieren is a sleepy granny that just so happens to be the greatest demon slayer in this world. What a reveal.

one of the coldest encounters in the show is about to happen. hype. (probably the coldest)
10:18 AGREED
Souso no Frieren 😮💨
"Sousou no Frieren" the title = Frieren at the Funeral/Frieren at the grave.
"Sousou no Frieren" the epithet = Frieren who sends you to your grave.
What a great double entendre thats lost in the translation
Frieren the unbothered!
Frieren unbothered. Fern the Stonefaced.
Yes, Fern is an expert in hiding her mana, even Frieren couldn't detect her when they first met.
and thats a big deal for a human, only those naturally gifted can do something like that.
5:50 That's right, she's cute.
Maybe demons evolved to be cute to gain favor with humans.
9:44 to be fair Frieren blew him the f up 😂 he was probably in shock at the time, but the ptsd came back in time for title drop😂
Welcome to the first episode of Peak Frieren, hang onto your hats the next 3 eps will be a ride
Haylo..
❤❤
Gotta love an epic series title drop as a great episode winds down
Dont mind if I do 🧝♀️
We must keep Frieren as far away from Nezuko as possible
Sousou no Frieren means 2 things - Frieren at the Funeral (of Himmel)and Frieren of the Funeral(of demons)
I've seen multiple different attempts to localize this double meaning, and I think yours is the best I've seen, well done.
you guys should do a QnA or discussing and ranking all the animes and shows you have watched that would be fun 😁
U r not ready for next eps
Can you please upload the next reaction now? I NEED TO SEE!!!
Sousou no Frieren. What a title drop!
(Reminds of AoT where the English translation of the title couldn’t pull the same effect as puns like these)
Seeing long comments in here getting things wrong is hilarious lmao
As I wrote before, the Japanese title"Sou-sou" does not directly mean "Slayer," but from Lugner's perspective it may have that meaning.
Such multifaceted titles add depth to the story.
Frieren the Slayer 👎
Frieren of the Grave 👍
Stark is actual just so chill, and just blasted for it, by fern😂😂
Man....i just love the voice of Junichi Suwabe (Lugner's VA and also Sukuna's)
28 secs and I am here.I alone am a Honoured One.
All of the names in Frieren are German words with meaning.
Frieren - to feel cold (I'm freezing)
Fern - distant, far (away)
Stark - strong
Draht - wire
Eisen - iron
Flamme - flame
Granat - garnet, shrimp (rarely)
Heiter - cheerful, sunny
Himmel - sky, heaven
Kraft - power
Linie - line
Lügner - liar
Qual - agony, torture
You are BEING a little spoilery here...
@@JagdWehrwolf There. It now does not include names not yet heard in the anime/seen in the manga. Not that it matters much.
What about Übel?
@@miosegs I got complained at about spoilers for it but I will tell you what it means.
Übel = Bad, Evil
Notice he said sosou no frieren, the name of the show
Frieren didn't need to cut that magic wire, she just took out the arm holding it. That demon wasn't very bright. I love how Frieren is always so calm and nonchalant.
Now we see how badass Fieren is. 😁
nah, you're not even close to it. EP10 gonna be a jaw drop and then comes 21, 23, then 25 and 26...
Fern is particularly good at hiding herself than even Frieren had trouble finding her
Frieren so cool!
Non-spoiler: Aura is indeed considered so cute she still places well all this time later in the Mangas popularity polls.
Demon nowadays is hopeless they dont know Frieren's power. She is lowkey mage in the party of heroes thats why. Also Fern is like 2.0 Flamme if Frieren teach all her knows spell to Fern, But on this present time is not worth it to be learn, Just "ordinary spell/soultrack" will do 👌
It’s almost time…
The next episode is so peak
and next after that
Lessgoo
The Frieren the Slayer part hits even harder if you speak Japanese. Im gonna explain poorly since Im just repeating from memory and dont speak Japanese myself (any Japanese speakers wanna jump in and explain better please do.) Basically it's a double entredre. Sousou no Frieren is both the title of the anime and the name he gives Frieren. The meaning most would have thought at first is something along the lines of Frieren at the Funeral. A nod to Frieren having to move past her friends deaths. The second meaning is Frieren at the funerals (since she caused them) is shown to also be true in this eposode. (Please someone help, I explained it really poorely lol)
So how valid would "Frieren the Undertaker" have been as an alternate title, if ignoring the humor involved bringing to mind the wrestler?
@@RubyDianArtsundertaker is probably the closest English word for 葬送 ，I don’t speak Japanese but I know Chinese which uses the same term since it’s kanji. A more accurate translation is “send you off to in a funeral” which means both to see friends pass due to age and sending your enemies to their graves.
@@RubyDianArts Do I have to ignore that image? The image in my head of Frieren in a wrstler outfit is cracking me up lol
I kinda like the translators didn't try to shoehorn something in English. It would probably need to be pretty wordy to get the point across since the concept for the first meaning doesn't really have a short English phrase equivalent that I can think of. Taking a bit of liberty and calling it "Beyond Journey's End" kinda fits the original thought and still rolls of the tongue in English. Not to mention evokes a nice feeling of fantasy and whimsy.
I love that Frieren killed Draht without listening to anything he has to say. As she said in the previous episode, talking to demons is pointless.
"Frieren is the True Demon Slayer and it's not Tanjiro Kamado !".....😅😅😅
Now we get a glimpse of how powerful frieren is that the demons literally gave her a nickname because of how Frieren almost put their race into extinction lol
yes, and she's not going to stop with it...
1:34 very underrated but little thing I love about this show. Starks weird little noises in mannerisms.
Sometimes it gets weird when anime characters audibly do everything and make noises for no reason but in this show it’s hilarious.
please, you have to watch chainsaw man
💓💓💓💓💓
slaaaaaaaaaaaaay lol
I love that Frieren is like the boogeyman for demons lol
the thing only manga readers know, she's in fact the biggest threat thier kind ever faced, not because she's an elf and want to genocide them or something, there is another much worse reason, but i not gonna spoil.
@@Circle9ru thats interesting! I appreciate you not spoiling it!
Welcome back 2025
コメントのアクションが、とても楽しいです。
ただ、日本語で無いので、何を言っているのかが分からないので、悲しい。
Frieren making racism cool againnn
thats like saying someone is racist against bears or coyotes lol
First
This show is cool, but the best show is One Piece. Let's be real. 😜
Mais uma vez não tem legenda em português 😢
Spoiler for episode 10 :
What I really love, is Frieren saying "I'm stronger than Aura the guillotine". Seems like a mistake from Frieren, since her whole thing is to hide her mana in order to deceive demons. Except that she is saying that while having her mana at minimum. From the demon perspective, it's like a child with a plastic knife saying "I'm the strongest in the world", which provoked him into letting his gard down completely.
