    The episode starts with Fern incredibly pissed off with Frieren to the point where she doesn't respond to Richter's "You're Freiren's student right?" but ends with Fern proudly declaring to Serie that she's Freiren's student.

      Even better it was the absolutely instinctual "What? No." when asked if she wanted to become Serie's student. It went from her being so pissed she couldn't answer that she was Frieren's student, to instinctual instant refusal to become another's student.

    What I love about that moment with Himmel as a child and Frieren is the impact it had on Himmel's character. It's obvious that moment of kindness stuck with him, he even spent the time to learn what the language of flowers was. Maybe that was just general knowledge he has since he would go out to pick herbs, but I feel like the show is subtly trying to tell us he learned about that because of Frieren. I think the show might also be implying that Himmel learned a great deal of his kindness from Frieren going out of her way to comfort him.
    Also, in the second episode in the flaskback, we can see Himmel is the only one in the party not surprised by the field of flowers spells. He just softly smiles at Frieren. Very subtle foreshadowing that he may have seen it before, but also could just be a totally normal reaction from someone.
    LAST thing I'll say about that scene. When he says magic is beautiful. He's not looking at the flowers when he says it.

    I think the "I was lucky" line from Frieren was even sweeter than how you took it. The ways Serie said it, she was using "you got lucky" as a way to diminish her achievement, but Frieren responding with "That's right. I was lucky", saying she was lucky to have such amazing companions and friends.

    Denken is not randomly pulling stuff out. He's actually suggesting books and magical items that will help him improve in the next 3 years in a subtle way while giving that pep talk lol. They don't subtitle it because maybe they don't catch her mumbling in her sleep but she mumbles "sorry Fern" in her sleep, just another subtle sign that she cares a lot about Fern even if she doesn't always understand her feelings.

  • @DarwinAwardWinner
    @DarwinAwardWinner Місяць тому +52

    It's not the main point of this episode, but one recurring theme I like from this show is how often the same character gets called both young and old. Frieren calls Sein young, but also calls him a proper adult. Everyone who knows talks about how old Frieren is, but Fern also talks about how sometimes she feels like Frieren's mother. Frieren talks about how Fern was so young and tiny just a few years ago and how she needs to stop thinking of her that way. Lawine calls Richter an old man while Denken calls him an insolent youngster. It's all over the place if you look for it.
    As for the flower spell, Frieren isn't just saying that it brought the party together, she's going even further. She said that if anyone was missing from the party, they couldn't have defeated the demon king, so she is drawing a direct line from the flower spell to defeating the demon king, in response to Serie calling the spell useless. We also heard from Serie in this episode that the demon king saw through Frieren's mana suppression, which means that of the two major things that Flamme taught Frieren, the one she taught Frieren for killing the demon king was a failure, while the one she taught Frieren purely for fun is the one that defeated the demon king.
    As for Fern and her staff, there's also a subtle juxtaposition in this episode: in the first half, Richter asks if Fern is "Frieren's kid", and Fern remains silent, unable to say yes in that moment. So in the second half, when Fern boldly declares to Serie that she is Frieren's student, it's not merely confirming what we already know, it's reaffirming something she wasn't sure about just half a day earlier. We can imagine that in an alternate timeline where Frieren didn't care enough about Fern's feelings to get the staff repaired, Fern could plausibly have accepted Serie's offer.
    We can also speculate about why Frieren doesn't have her own spell for repairing a staff, like Richter does. We've already seen that Frieren has difficulty understanding the value of physical things (statues, rings, etc.), because to her they are all temporary. She's "used to losing things." So it makes sense that she wouldn't be interested in trying to artificially extend the lifetime of her physical possessions. Who cares If her staff lasts 150 years instead of 100? For her, the only difference is cost. If repairing is more expensive than replacing, then throw it out and replace it. That's basically what she said that made Fern so mad.

    Baby Fern receiving her staff and almost tipping over has to be the most adorable image ever. It's funny how I never really noticed that consciously until watching your reaction.
    The idea that Frieren feels more comfortable communicating through her magic (like when she conjured up the flowers for Himmel) that you discuss hearkens back to my thoughts - which I wrote out in a comment to your episode 25 reaction - that magic is often used as a metaphor for artistic expression in this incredible story. Music, painting, etc, is sometimes described by its practitioners as a different language all its own, which is used to convey ideas and feelings that words cannot. Also, it can be a language that some creative minds feel more comfortable operating within. Perhaps, in a sense, the writer of this story is simply recognizing their own difficulties throughout their life at failing to make those simple human connections, and then is commenting on the fact they had to turn to the creative language of writing a manga to fully communicate their feelings of regret at not being able to properly share their thoughts with others. Verbal language - whether written or spoken - can feel quite limited when compared to the soul-touching presence of music, or painting, etc. The way magic is regarded in Frieren does have that same sense of grandeur and personal expression that art does here in the real world.

  • @Ryodraco
    @Ryodraco Місяць тому +37

    To clarify a bit, Serie doesn’t fear the era of humans, her philosophy is simply one that values talent and magic progress as a priority. Indeed she adores talented people, hence her enthusiasm when seeing Fern's potential. On the other hand, she hates to see people "waste" their talent (or what she interprets as wasting). Hence how Frieren states she is still not the mage Serie wants her to be. To Frieren magic is a means to kill demons, and a hobby to enjoy, she has no drive to devote her life to advancing magic the way Serie and her students have. To Serie this means Frieren is not as skilled as she could be, which she sees as a waste of talent.

    • @kpetalis
      @kpetalis Місяць тому +11

      Which is true in a sense. What we see here is that Frieren as a person wants to enjoy life and learn magic as a hobby for herself. But at the same time she is not advancing a discipline that could potentially help the whole world.
      To a mage like Serie that is a waste of potential. Frieren is extremely gifted at analyzing magic, breaking it down to it's basic components and learning how it works and finding weaknesses in it like she did with Serie's barrier or reverse engineering Zoltrack. In real life terms that is like having Einstein or Newton or Aristotle not pursuing philosophy or knowledge but go out there and party all the time wasting their lives away. That is what she hates about Frieren. As a mage she has the potential to become a mage that could perhaps one day surpass her, but, because of her attitude and general aloof personality she wastes her time looking for household cantrips when she could help propel magic research in the equivalent of the industrial revolution in their world. That is why she says that Frieren is relatively unskilled for her age as an Elf. Because an elven mage of her age group would be far more powerful. And that is why Serie didn't pass her. Because she judged her with the criteria she has for an Elven mage, not a human one. Frieren might seem impossible to beat to human mages, but for an Elf, she is average at best.

    • @Ryodraco
      @Ryodraco Місяць тому +8

      @kpetalis while I mostly agree, I don't think I'd go as far as to call Frieren average by elf standards. "Relatively unskilled for her age" by Serie's standards seems more apt. I mean Frieren was the strongest elf in her village despite being a quite young elf at the time, and elves in general were massacred by the demons so most of them must have been weaker than Frieren. Unless her village was very below average, Frieren can't be called average. Serie's standards are simply very high, for both elves and humans.

    • @UltraHD.7

      Exactly. I always see Serie as a disappointed parent who sees the huge potential of her kid, to become a doctor or a scientist, but instead "wastes" her time lazing around and wanting to be, lets say, a UA-camr 😉

      @@Ryodraco Not all elves were mages. Kraft, for instance, is a monk. Frieren was barely able to defeat even the Demon General that attacked her village and Flamme dispatched 3 demons more powerful than him easily, with just element of surprise on her side. Frieren was likely the only mage in her village and an untrained one. For 1000 years, her casting speed is slow and she makes elementary mistakes (as Fern notes in the dungeon). It is just the sheer length of her training gave her absurdly vast mana. She can now brute-force almost anything. Does not make her skilled.

    • @Ryodraco
      @Ryodraco Місяць тому +3

      @@Aznarel it wasn't simply surprise. Flamme was far more powerful than those demons, and more powerful than Frieren at the time. Her skill factored in being able to hide that strength, as otherwise the demons would likely not pick the fight to begin with.
      As for casting speed, Frieren is not slow. Fern is simply very fast, and even then Frieren had to force a big enough opening for Fern to be quick enough to get past the clone of Frieren's reaction time.
      Anyway, point remains from what little we know of elves in this setting I don't see any evidence Frieren is below average. Serie never calls Frieren unskilled or weak, she merely states that she had the potential to be more skilled than she is. Her perspective is not infallible either, as shown when she apologizes to Sense for having believed all the other test takers were unworthy.

    It’s interesting that this episode reveals that Flamme’s combat teachings were pointless. Flamme told Frieren to “live in obscurity. You must not leave your name in history until you have killed the Demon King.” She was betting on Frieren mastering mana supression and surprising the Demon King in an ambush, like how Flamme nuked the demons in episode 10.
    But… Serie mentions that the Demon King saw through Frieren’s mana supression at first glance. In the end, the thousand years that Frieren spent supressing her mana and living in obscurity were pointless. The Demon King immediately saw that Frieren was a powerful mage, and the ambush that Flamme was betting on became impossible.
    Instead, what defeated the Demon King was Flamme’s Flower Spell. It brought Frieren to her companions, and Frieren says that if even one of them weren’t there, they would have lost. The spell wasn’t useless, without it, the Demon King wouldn’t have died.
    And because of that, Flamme’s teachings, and by extension Serie’s… failed. They truly could not have defeated the Demon King by themselves, because they couldn’t have made the companions that Frieren did.

    I believe Serie says Frieren is relatively inexperienced for her age because she spent 700-800 years of her life as a hermit in the woods, from when Flamme passed away to when Himmel recruited her. If she'd spent that time traveling, fighting, and using her magic (other than day to day utility spells and suppressing her mana) she'd have more practice with more spells. It's not her raw power that is lacking, it's her ability to use it in a variety of ways.

    There is vague scientific parallel to Fern's abilities. Microscopes. Microscopes allowed humanity to see small things and revolutionize our understanding of the world. Fern's ability to detect minute fluctuations in mana might be able to do something similar with magic, open up a new understanding of it's functions.
    Ironically, Fern only has that level of perception because Frieren "wasted" her time mastering suppression of her magic. Fern as the apprentice observing their master's spell casting had to pay attention to minute changes.

    Assuming that Serie applies the same principle that Flamme taught Frieren, her supressed mana should only be a tenth of her actual mana. Which is crazy to think, considering that it's almost equal to Frieren's unsuppressed mana-- I can't even imagine how much she actually has in it's unsuppressed state

      Serie really feels to me like the living embodiment of the concept of _cognitive_ _dissonance_ in humans. She says - and believes! - that mana suppression is a waste of time, yet she learns and does it anyway. She says that training human mages is a waste of time, yet she remembers each of her student's favourite spells and gets excited at the thought of taking Fern on as her student. She calls the "field of flowers" spell useless, yet surrounds herself with a well-maintained garden. Or maybe her behaviour is just a commentary on the fact that if someone were to live as long as Serie has, they would naturally change their minds about many such things, given how recent experiences sweetened or soured them on those ideas.

    Might be worth noting that Fern calls herself Frieren's "deshi". It translates into 'student', but from what I understand(from martial arts) it's closer to English's word 'apprentice/disciple'. You live with and do things for the teacher/master to learn not only the skill they teach, but to understand all of their lifestyle(so that they are able to most closely imitate anything that makes that master great) to become the next lineage holder of the teacher/master's skills. So Fern is not only deciding to stick with Frieren here for personal attachment, but also rejecting the Serie's approach to magic favoring Frieren's approach and lifestyle.

    A great call and response in this episode is Fern seemingly not wanting to confirm it when Richter says she's Frieren's student, but later on, after she's gotten over their little disagreement, she firmly declares she's Frieren's student in front of Serie.
    I also love the parallel to the sentence structure and, I guess, shot composition(?) of Flamme instructing Frieren on how to deceive demons with her mana and Frieren instructing Fern on how to deal with Serie's demands/propositions.
    I love how you two have been on the ball with the whole magic as a tool for war vs magic as something joyful the past several episodes, and right as I paused it you were pivoting into the humans of Himmel's time growing up during the long war, but you gotta wonder how it was for Serie who's seen so many of the powerless perish. Whether it's elves or demons, the ones that have lived a long time must have had the means to do so.

    My personal reading on the "lucky" comment is that while Serie thinks she "lucked" into strong companions that made up for what she sees as Frieren's weakness relative to her age, Frieren turned it around to mean she was "lucky" to have met, been apart of, and been so changed by these people that she is discovering through her journey. For Serie everything is about strength and power. For Frieren it's that intangible connection between people. And in Serie we see someone with all the immense power in the world, likely second only to the Goddess herself, and yet a deep abiding loneliness that she desperately yearns to be filled by another Mage who could stand at her level. Human Mages die to soon to reach that height and Frieren doesn't desire it.

      I also think the "you've been lucky" comment was mainly to provoke a reaction from Frieren for not letting her pass, to see some fighting spirit in her. When they first met, Serie said "that girl lacks ambition" and she still thinks that way.

      Exactly, Frieren doesn't consider herself lucky for being able to defeat the Demon King - even though she has ample hatred and ambition to defeat demons. For her the whole journey and how it affected her in those mere ten years transcends anything as trite as being a hero or powerful mage.
      It's really interesting how Frieren and Serie are totally talking past each other in this moment, but Serie is the only one who doesn't get it.

    Serie criticizing the mana suppression technique, yet doing it herself, is so much fun. Cause it's arguably a masterful expression of the technique. The point is that no one is ever supposed to know that you're using the mana suppression technique until it's too late. And if Serie had said anything positive about mana suppression in a room full of the most intelligent and calculating mages, one of them would surely have asked "Then why don't you do it? Especially since your long life would negate the inefficiency of it?" And they would almost certainly conclude that she _is_ doing it, they just can't tell. By showing nothing but contempt, she's ensuring that her secret is safe.

I'm starting to see a trend with the elves we've encountered so far except for Kraft, Frieren didn't realize how much of an impact a mere 10 year journey has on her and Serie doesn't realize or refuses to accept how much of an impact each and every student she's mentored has on her.

      Serie's writing is SO GOOD I agree she's my favorite character too. She's in charge of a huge organization and has many devoted followers and is supposedly the closest to the mythical Goddess AND SHE IS AT ODDS WITH OUR PROTAGONIST. That's such a brave choice to made because that's a textbook "this character is made to be hated". Yet, we have seen that Serie is not a cruel person; she didn't need to come all the way to proctor the third test had she really give no shit for human lives. We have seen that Serie cares, in her own way, for her students; her disappointment (and sadness) that her students would soon pass away without reaching their full potential, that flashback with little Flamme. Serie is written in a way that it is absolutely understandable if someone hate her, but there's also no problem if you like her either. The narrative never actually told you how to feel about her, despite her having all the traits for an antagonistic character. The story just presented Serie as she is: An elf whose actions contradict her words but she's so old we might never understand why it is so -we can, it's because she's a tsundere :v-

    As you've noticed, yes, Serie's been suppressing her mana as well. And if she's using the same suppressing rate as Flamme, Frieren and Fern, she's only showing 10% of her actual mana.
    My theory is that Serie could've easily killed the Demon King by herself, but being the magic junkie she is, she preffered to have him in the world as a threat to hummanity and other races just so there would be progress in most fields with the goal to be able to fight and defeat him.
    Then again, I could be wrong and she's just halving her mana output, still makes her a mosnter, as she would be as strong as 2 Frierens. We still don't know, but one thing's certain, don't mess with her, no matter what.
    Also, now that you've seen Frieren and Himmel's first encounter, go back to episode 2 and watch the flashback of Freiren using the flower field spell on and abandoned/destroyed church. Heiter and Eisen watch in awe, as it could be the first time seeing magic used for something so beautiful, but Himmel, he just smiles in rememberance of that night in the forest where he met Frieren, and fell in love with her.

      It's a neat theory, but Flamme stated Serie (and herself) could not kill the demon king, not that she chose not to kill him. It could be as simple as Serie not being able to imagine killing him because she couldn't imagine the age of peace, and this innately limited her power against him. Flamme seemed to imply that. It could also have been some innate special ability the demon king possessed, after all he lived for well over a thousand years when usually even half that is considered a long life for a demon.

She may have even seen her favorite spell in planting the seed in Himmel to pick Frieren when Himmel was looking for a mage. What a great flashback.

    Serie has been around for a long long time, and is/was insanely powerful when the demon king was causing problems. But she did not go or do anything about it. So it would seem that she intentionally allowed this horrible force of evil, death and destruction to be inflicted upon mankind as a means to make them stronger. Magic as a weapon. Which is probably why she hates Friren, a mage who is also very powerful in magic as a weapon, but she basically disowns the power in favour of a freaking flower spell. Freiren is the antithesis of Serie's very existence and sense of self.

    I love this show, but I have a question:
    How would Land (Edit: meant Reichter, but his Earth magic always makes me think of Land) have turned a greater profit if Fern had bought a new staff?
    A new staff would require resources to build, so there is a cost that comes out of the sale (unless Land can magic them into existence).
    Repairing the old staff only seems to require magic, and mana seems to restore itself naturally, meaning he could finish the task at only the cost of his time.
    If he can set his own price to repair (particularly for difficult jobs), he should be able to turn equal or better profit repairing the staff.
    Unless he intentionally chose to give Frieren a good price as an extremely subtle indicator that he is growing as a person.
    Just my thoughts!

      @@onetom2222You’re right, but that begs the question: would Frieren have bought a more expensive staff? Just because Reichter has them for sale doesn’t mean that’s what Frieren would select.
      Frieren’s insistence that Fern only use ordinary offensive magic implies to me Frieren wouldn’t see greater value in a more expensive and elaborate staff (Frieren’s appears fairly plain, too). In other words, I would expect Frieren to be utilitarian about purchasing a staff.
      Also, what would a more expensive staff cost Reichter to build/purchase before sale?
      We know next to nothing about the economy of this world, so it’s all good for discussion, though.

    And if you go back to episode 2, on the flashback where Frieren shows off the Flower Bed Spell to her party, you can see Eisen and Heiter looking at it in wonder and surprise, but Himmel has a look of fond nostalgia instead, because that wasn't the first time he had seen the spell!

    Himmel's philosophy as a "hero" is to do all of the little things. No matter how small the action, you never know what kind of impact it could have on someone's life. I wonder if this mindset stemmed from the emotions he felt when Frieren made the field of flowers for him seemingly "on a whim." It all ended up looping around in a beautiful way, and they saved the world.

    If you pay attention, in the chapter when Fern and Frieren are searching for the blue Petal for the Himmel statue, Frieren tell to Fern about the Spell of Flower showing the old companion of Heiter, Heisen and himmel, the expressions of Heiter and Heisen was absolutely surprise but not in the face of Himmel. He saw it before... with her ;)

    About the power of magic, this episode put into perspective the defeat of the demon king.
    Frieren worked all her life to decieve demons in order to kill the demon king, but her favorite spell was a useless one.
    However, when facing the demon king, he saw right through her suppressed mana. It was the party, led by Himmel, that won the day.
    And that party only existed because Himmel was inspired by the flower spell in his youth.
    In the end, the true power of magic was never violence, because it failed. It was the ability to inspire, it was love that won the day.

    I think flamme is keeping that garden together using flammes flower spell, in a roundabout way shes acknowledging its usefulness and its beauty just by having those flowers there in the first place.

    I keep hoping we someday get a scene with Frieren and Scharf (from Wirbel's party) fighting some big bad just because of his synergy with the flower spell, he'd probably be able to spam those steel petals.

    You can rewatch party's first reaction to the Frieren first time casting the flower spell. Heiter and Eisen were surprised and overjoyed, while Himmel was calm and pensive.

      ​@@FTF-Media oh and one interesting thing, the scene where Frieren shows the magic to create a field of flowers to young Himmel, he says "I thought it was beautiful" but he wasn't talking about the magic specifically but Frieren herself since his eyes weren't on the flowers but Frieren!

  • @shaunnarine3974
    @shaunnarine3974 Місяць тому

    One thing: Serie did not say that Frieren was "inexperienced" for her age but "unskilled." That is a bit different. What she was saying is that Frieren spent a lot of time practicing mana suppression when she could have been using it to practice and learn other spells. So, it's not a question of experience but actual practice. Of course, it raises questions about how old Serie is since she is even more skilled at suppressing her mana than Frieren!

    I'm sure it's been said, but in its own way, 'that useless spell' to make a field of flowers was what defeated the demon king. Crazy how it all comes around.
