    What's interesting is, Linie's attacks did have some power to them. When her axe clashes against Stark's, the ground cracks below them from the impact, there's weight there. It's just that she wasn't strong enough to deal fatal damage to him. Stark's lack of confidence partially comes from the fact that he's had nobody to compare himself to except Eisen, and Eisen is exceptionally powerful. So when he finally feels her attack after lowering his defences, he finally realises she ain't shit compared to him or his master.

    • @sfLionheart
      @sfLionheart 3 місяці тому +57

      Linie relies on momentum and downward strikes to let physics/gravity hide her weakness, which is why Stark goes high in the end and receives a completely flaccid horizontal strike.

      @@sfLionheart I don't know that it was intentional on Stark's part (he doesn't seem that tactical), but mocking her for having weaker attacks than Eisen before the final attack also baited her into using the axe against him rather than any of her other remembered techniques. Of all the weapons she uses, the axe is the one that most needs strength. Had she used a spear or sword, she likely would have done more damage to Stark (dunno if it would have been enough to win, though).

      @@sebrussell If she wasn't so prideful she would have shoved a sword through his eyes or finished him while he was down. She was fast enough to pull that off and his eyes aren't strong enough to take that kind of hit. He baited her and she took the bait. She would have almost certainly won if she just focused on her own strengths which revolve around her flawless technique. Switching weapons would have given her an edge too and she only needs a couple good hits to soft area's to win.
      Not to even mention her greater flaw of not even trying to improve upon her copies. She could have used her knowledge to create her own style but she relied on her ability to copy. Then she chose to use that copy against someone trained in it. Not realizing her brute strength just wasn't at the level to make the most of it.

    An interesting way to look at Stark's fight with Linnie is that it was a fight between someone who copied Eiesen's technique through magic (the easy way) and someone who copied it through training (the hard way).
    Linnie copied Eisen's techniques through magic, but she couldn't copy his strength, his physicality, and most importantly his experience; making it a pale imitation. Stark, by contrast, had learned Eisen's techniques through extensive, grueling training under him; and truly made those techniques his own. And the moment Stark realized this, he used it against her and won.

      Well yeah, but that's because the badass female characters are done the right way. Fern, Frieren and Flamme don't lecture people. They just do badass things and are amazing without needing to talk about it either. Oh and they are actually all very conscious of their abilities and weaknesses, which is a breath of fresh air compared with usual characters (men and women alike) who lowkey gloat sometimes.

    fern's main power of her magic is actually completely unrelated to frieren training her, the reason shes so quick to cast spells is because she was rushing her training to become a mage before heiter passed away, she got faster and faster at casting so she could train more in less time. also aura did have the scales the first time they fought she just didnt use it on them for whatever reason, i dont remember if it was this episode or next episode but it mentions that the original squad fought the headless soldiers as well and those are made from the bodies of the people she took over with the scales

      Heiter trained fern from an extremely young age to suppress her mana like frieren does even before her and frieren had ever met, thats why shes so good at hiding her mana cause she was trained from day 1 as a mage to do it that way. And she got fast at casting spells cause of the rush she was in to become a mage before heiter died. Both of those advantages were a result of the way she was raised not just innate ability

    A fun thing to note. Linie did the same attack stark did. The difference is HE dodged it so she turned it and got his eye. When stark did it, she didnt have the time or strength to dodge or block it.
    Stark was fighting defensively because seeing his masters techniques startled him, so he associated her attacks with his masters. He didnt realize that they werent hitting like Eisens til he thought about as he got hit with the sacrificial blow he used. He expected to be bisected, but it only dug in a little. When he realized that he lost his fear and association with Eisen in his mind.

It's why he chose to fight her in a battle of attrition, but was still losing because he can't hold a defense against her number of spells she can launch.

    Both demons lost because they were prideful and arrogant. They refused to win when they had the chance and refused to fight in ways that would allow them to win more easily.
    He could have killed Fern immediately. He didn't because he felt insulted.
    She could have killed Stark multiple times and ways. Using a fighting style that favored her speed and skill over raw power would have made more sense against a foe who relies on brute strength like Stark clearly does. Instead she chose to meet him with his own technique because of arrogance. A swift sword through the eye would have ended the fight and we just saw she has such moves. She already saw her axe strike not work too. He took that hit. She just had to kill him with the axe though because he called it an imitation.
