    I recall that Flamme noted that Serie is able to take on the Demon King, but she will "win the battle but lose the war" so to speak. She may be able to defeat him, but it won't bring about world peace because Serie herself cannot envision peace, as she is a warmonger. They did always repeat the phrase in the manga, "magic is the world of visualization." Serie cannot visualize world peace, and so is not fit to defeat the Demon King, not that she doesn't have the strength to.

      I was just about to make this exact same comment. Serie is likely the greatest magic user that has ever lived, but magic's only true limitation is the ability to envision the outcome and Serie is someone who simply cannot imagine a world without war. She can't truly envision the reality of a peaceful world. This is why the great mage Flamme always maintained it would be someone like Frieren who would eventually defeat the demons. It's because at heart Frieren is a kind and peaceful soul who does not see magic merely as a tool of war and destruction. This is what made Flame believe Frieren is the great mage that may someday bring peace to the world.

      What I hope will come true is that Himmel's skill or ability is to defy any kind of destiny. With the show having so many characters that can see the future or that can control or manipulate others, having the ability to resist such control could become a key skill for defeating the demon king.
      Think of how Rudeus in MT becomes a factor that completely changes the normal timeline.
      Himmel's determination being powerful enough that it can defy any and every prediction.

      She also lacks Ferns stealth and detection. Übel is incredibly threatening to any mage inside her own weight class but that doesn´t mean she can contend with the true monsters. Especially Demons, as they can take more damage than humans.

    3. The Demon King desired coexistence between humans and demons;
    it's actually possible that the Demon King himself had already foreseen and planned all the event that has happened, is happening right now, and what will happen in the future of this series.

    I think theres something you miss about the battle of frieren vs solitar, some of the reasons why frieren seems a bit struggling when fighting solitar is because frieren was multi tasking : she's fighting and dispelling the gold curse for an entire region of eldorado at the same time, and she did it without solitar noticing at first..
    also i forgot to mention, frieren managed to break free from the gold curse that engulfed her hand 600 years ago when she first met macht, without her knowing fully about the curse at that time

    • @OniiChanExplains
      @OniiChanExplains  Рік тому +25

      Frieren concluded (Ch 99) "Solitar and I do not bear a significant difference in mana." In this series, mana is the major way to gauge a mage's strength, so according to Frieren's very own analysis, they are within the same power levels. I believed that alone was enough to explain it, and I didn't want to narrate every single thing that happened in the story. Plus, Frieren even highlighted that Solita's control over mana is otherwordly.
      One thing to note as well is that it was Fern who ultimately killed Solitar, so Frieren didn't solo her. We can assume that she can do it on her own without any help, but we can't confirm that either.
      I did gave Frieren the slight edge in that battle, that's why she has a higher ranking.

  • @valkyrieregalia
    @valkyrieregalia Рік тому +31

    I think the list is pretty reasonable. It is hard to assess some things ultimately. E.g. I feel like a mage like Aura is easily discounted just because her win con is so hit or miss. It's merely a question of if she has more mana or less and can cast her magic. Technically speaking, if she were able to strategize well enough and wait for powerful entities to be low on mana, she could enslave those way above her. Even in canon if Aura had managed to get her spell off once on say Himmel, the Hero Party would have failed in their mission. Going by flashback scenes, it seems like she was rushed down before she could cast it even once though.
    This also raises the question that if the Sages of Destruction actually worked together the Hero Party likely wouldn't have won. In general I think one of the biggest pitfalls to Demons are their lack of coordination and inability to not be overly self focused and prideful. E.g. Imagine if the Barrier Sage of Destruction partnered up with Aura and she systematically took control of all the low mana heroes of humanity? The Omniscient could look into the future to figure out all the abilities of humanity's greatest allies and share them with all the Sages which would completely reverse how many fights went since many wins happened due to deception tactics. E.g. Aura vs. Frieren, again, all Aura had to do to win was fight her normally with her giant army which Frieren even admitted that she would have had trouble if she did. The utter lack of cooperation and sometimes even common sense and self discipline are really what hold demonkind back. Alas, the Demon King seemed aware of the folly of his kind as did the Omniscient. I wonder if the Omniscient set some sort of end game in motion. I guess we'll know in 1000 years.

      That's why I wouldn't even object if someone said he could be in the top spot. It's crazy how he pulled that off. He must have insane battle prowess to go along with his future-seeing magic.

      ​@@xalovaid3693Was it that she "cannot" because she is a warmonger and the Demon King would win as mentioned in the video, or is it that she would win but that victory would not change anything because as a hero, she would not do anything to affect change in the world that would bring an era of peace?
      Himmel traveled, visited other areas and continued to be a symbol of hope for the people even after his victory. His status and influence was such, that the different countries and the demons didn't have a full on conflict that we know of until after his death when Aura started her war efforts again.
      Would Serie do that if she had won? would she use her immense power, fame and time to play peacekeeper for even a single century after her victory over the Demon King? The answer is no. Serie values ambition and self improvement. And that ambition would inevitably lead to conflict between all sentient beings, be they Humans, Elves, Dwarves or even Demons. If she took the time to kill him, then she would simply go away for a journey and let the powers that be to clean up the mess. And at that time, the different kingdoms would scramble to win territory and to fill up the power vacuum that the Demon King's death left. In sort, more war and destruction.
      That is what I believe Flamme meant when she said that Serie couldn't defeat the Demon King. Not a physical defeat, that she could do, but a final end to the war for at least some time.
      That was something that Himmel and his party managed to do.

    Solitaire was likely as strong or stronger than Macht. She was a nameless great demon precisely because no one who faced her over the millennia ever lived to tell the tale. When speaking with Macht she acknowledged that she is extremely cautious and that she changed her mind about killing him because she wasn't one hundred percent certain she would win. It wasn't because she thought he was necessarily more powerful than her but rather because she does not take unnecessary risks and she deemed that the risk he posed to her by potentially provoking humanity into another demon war was smaller than the risk she would face in a direct attempt to kill him. She had originally incorrectly judged Macht to be so much weaker than herself that she could kill him without risk to her own life.

The first is through sheer volume of mana as Frieren demonstrated, but the second way was to have a truly indomitable will. This was always Himmel's greatest strength. Despite being no slouch when comes to raw strength as a warrior what made him the great hero was his indomitable spirit and his ability to touch and sway the hearts of others.

Also, remember how Frieren mentioned that if Aura hadn't resorted to using the scales and had instead focused on deploying her soldiers, Frieren would have been in much trouble.

    Mages/demons use magic detection to perceive and analyse any attacks thrown at them. Frieren has a telekinetic like attack spell which can't be perceived with magic detection making it invisible and hard to block. Fern which has very good mana perception(perceived Serie's mana instability/concealment) did not even perceive the attack. The big disadvantage of this spell is that it is full of openings. The hero party might have capitalized on this spell by protecting Frieren while she focuses 100% on this pure offensive spell on their fight with the demon lord.

    Yes, I know Frieren lost to Macht but that was 600 years ago. Current Frieren has now countered Diagloze and can definitely match Macht in raw power. Solitar on the other hand, almost defeated current Frieren and out of all the characters Frieren has fought so far, it was Solitar that totally injured her and pushed her to the end of the rope. But it could be argued that Frieren was analyzing the city of Weiss during her battle and she also managed to learn Solitar's strongest spell mid-fight and executed it perfectly despite using it for the first time. Also, I consider Macht and Solitar equal because first, Solitar was the one who taught Macht human magic in which Macht later taught Denken and Solitar was able to break the barrier that sealed Macht for 50 years in just only 2 months of analyzing it, something Macht failed to do in the span of 50 years. And it was mentioned by Frieren twice that Solitar was as powerful as Macht, the only thing that makes Macht deadlier is Diagloze, but knowledge, wisdom, skill and raw power definitely goes to Solitar. Thus, I come to conclude that these three are evenly matched in skill, mana and power overall.

      once peace is fully established, powerful mages will be ranked muuuch differently. Mages who are geniuses that can revolutionize production and efficiency would become the new super successes, and the legends would be those who can spread new fundamental knowledge. People who can come up with equivalents of electricity, gravity, force, etc.
      Whereas society would be largely concentrating on producing services and items that raise quality of life - and most importantly making it cheap.
      Making magic fridges that - over time - everyone can afford, magic communication, travel, automation, comfort, entertainment, niche products like a fan for a hot day, a perfect piano tuner, sorting and shipping efficiency technology etc. Those things don't exist in a world of war.

Really love how the series really depicts how one's perception of time affects them. Serie is powerful yes, but how much of that is due to just being someone powerful for her time who survived the longest? Serie doesn't exactly come across as a dutiful student of magic.

I don't think Schlacht is stronger than match, as the latter wasn't afraid to fight him and only agreed to participate when Grausam appeared. Schlacht seems to be more like a strategist and a mastermind rather than a warrior. I think he would be among the weakest sages of destruction just in terms of raw power.

    and i've seen so many argueable comments that said Frieren > serie, since frieren defeated macth
    as we seen on manga, frieren run away from macth on their first encounter and macth already transformed frierens hand into gold, and frieren need many years to cure it, but serie's first encounter with macht is one sided fight.
    we all could assume that serie'shigher than frieren since the power system that has been told is age refering yout mana, which means serie's unknown age and fact that she's already adult when frieren still young means serie's age around 2000-/+. and yound demons like macth has no chance if they're competing on magic power or normal fight.
    and the only chance that match has is his diagoldze(which made frieren defeat), but series could easily negate it. which means from that point, macht has 0 chance of defeating serie , and that happens on first encounter,
    people don't get this because they thought serie leave macth there cause she got no way to defeat him, but the truth is macth needed to be alive, till humans find out how to cure diagoldze(cause el doorado already turned into gold, if they killed macth they coudn't turn back eldorado to normal) Because oof that serie's disciple force serie's to fall back and wait till they found the way to cure eldoorado

      bro frieren never said that lol. how can you make things up and just assume they are true. the only thing frieren said was that she was still "dancing at the palm of her master's hands" at the end of episode 4, and she was talking about the fact that flamme knew she would one day have regrets, it had nothing to do with power levels

    although there was only one demon king mentioned throughout the story, there might have been someone or some mythical creature who spread catastrophe throughout the land in mythical era 😶😶😶maybe Kraft was one of those heroes who stopped that calamity😏

    If anyone remember "I am a spider, so what?" Maybe hero in Frieren also has a trait to vanquish demon king by chance, kind of cheat ability like hero sword.

      There is nothing like that so far, but I could see the demon king is just bad counter to hero party maybe even demon king made itself to be defeated in order their plans become true. Not to forget that frieren before never use her pinnacle of magic until fighting the demon king
