Sousou no Frieren / Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
The demon king has been defeated, and the victorious hero party returns home before disbanding. The four-mage Frieren, hero Himmel, priest Heiter, and warrior Eisen - reminisce about their decade-long journey as the moment to bid each other farewell arrives. But the passing of time is different for elves, thus Frieren witnesses her companions slowly pass away one by one.
Before his death, Heiter manages to foist a young human apprentice called Fern onto Frieren. Driven by the elf's passion for collecting a myriad of magic spells, the pair embarks on a seemingly aimless journey, revisiting the places that the heroes of yore had visited. Along their travels, Frieren slowly confronts her regrets of missed opportunities to form deeper bonds with her now-deceased comrades.

I like how, yes he's simply got defeated some minutes after he woke up but the fact that he is smart enough to quickly understood the more modern magic is a good enough reason to defeat him ASAP.
I love how it set the setting for fights in the anime. It's not only about being strong. It's about being smart ^^
@@orelliaorellia142 Though I do wanna know more about how magicless people like Himmel was able to become a hero.
Unlike Stark who seemed to inherit the monstrous dwarven strength from Eisen, Himmel however doesn't seem necessarily too strong or too versatile in magics, so I really really wanna see what he does in a fight.
@@TH_Sofa you already answered: Stark.
Stark had no blood relation with Eisen , his physical capabilities are entirely due to training. So would be Himmel.
@@phantasosxgames8488 Well yet to be told more about the background of Stark,
But we know how Eisen played frontline tank (and so will Stark). I do want to know how Himmel contributed to fights otherwise then (because him being elated every time that Eisen had picked up huge boulders probably means he cant do so himself.)

Qual so op frieren paused the boss battle for 80 years just to learn all of his moves
Nah that cracked me up good one
Lol
Frieren got her level max out so she return to destroy the boss she cant beat in one skill...
I have to say, I love how he waves his arms around while he casts spells. It gives the impression that the arm movements are utterly disconnected from the spellcasting, he just likes the theatrics of it.
Maybe he casts spells with music notes in his mind.
If you look closely I believe a new series of attacks begin after he begins raising his arms
He’s like a maestro conducting an opera
@tiago Best description.
zoltraak symphony of destruction, he's _absolutely flexing_ on them rather than casting once from his hand. the background music even follows, hitting a crescendo alongside him switching to one large beam
I love how you can see him realize the weakness at 0:14 after Fern’s smaller shield breaks, and he immediately switches from the scattershot approach to overpowering her shields
He knew brute power would destroy them, this guy is a mfing genius
qual is a genius among the geniuses in the demon race. He was the first person to invent magic that could penetrate defensive magic. And when fighting Freiren and Fern When Fern used defensive magic for the first time, he was able to analyze and know how it worked. And in the last moment before being killed by Frieren, he knew the weak point of the defensive magic. Even though it can be prevented But if you pump in a lot of magic power, you can destroy the defensive magic if the frieren unexpectedly happens at that time. The fern may already be dead.
And fern only survives because she knows it's a weakness and makes two layers of shields to stop the blast which qual probably didn't know was possible when he made that blast.
Great catch, I didn't notice that!
@@SpaceCat-cx8zu bruh knowing you need more power to break a shield isnt that hard to write or think of lmao
Imagine being the guy who first invented the very first gun, the Chinese Fire Lance, then suddenly being transported to the modern day and seeing modern weaponry and body armor... and being intelligent enough to see the flaws in the new equipment and work out how to exploit those flaws within minutes of discovering them. That's Qual.
That's fucking insane now that i think about it.
@@DanielRodriguez-so5vv Exactly. Qual was absolutely a genius whose only limitation was the limits of the time he was born in. We see people like him maybe once or twice in a generation, if that. Einstein, DaVinci, Tesla, people whose intellect is so immense that you can imagine that they'd change the world no matter what era they were born in, and who are only limited by what the world they were born in will allow.
@@FirstLast-cg2nkWhat do you mean? The perso who devised the gun could do that too. He is just going to shoot at neck or the face too to bypass modern armor with his primitive gun.
@@saviet4222 No, you don't get it at all. It's like the inventor of firearms being able to instantly know how fully automatic guns work and understands beating armor with high velocity dense-core ammunition (green tips)
@@mustysmells817 Bro what the fuck do you mean? You legit just trying to apply your own logic and exaggerate as much as possible. It is not that impressive in the context of their world. First of all, this is not even an automatic gun, Fern's insane cast time is her own unique talent. If he knew how the spell work, he would be able to replicate it. All he know is that the offensive spell has a high base stat and the new defensive spell must be really powerful to be able to block his own offensive spell. A strong spell=equal higher mana requirement, and we also understand how important mana reserve is for demon in this world. Since Fern is Frieren's apprentice, she is also trained by frieren to naturally restraint her mana, and so Qual is tricked to try and overwhelm her with as many attacks as possible to deplete her mana ( also a common tactic btw )
I love how everyone here isn't understimating and respecting Qual despite the little screen time he has
He is a force to be reckoned with
Yeah they spent 80 years to block his magic but he figured out how to fuck it up in just a few minutes.😂
Well, he created a spell that people still use, so he is not only powerful, but extremely relevant and dangerous
frieren lost to that guy. You know how dangerous he is.
Was*
@@reisen9584 *Frieren + her party
Also his firepower is just that high that he can breach and work around the thing they develop with sole purpose of dealing with his power.
If the current defensive magic hasnt been developed, i can see how no one could come close to him let alone landing an attack.
Y'know, after we learn later that demons mimic human speech patterns as a defense mechanism/hunting tool, it really puts to mind how old fashioned Qual truly is. Unlike other demons he doesn't even pretend to look human, because back in the day his magic was so powerful he didn't need to. In a weird way it almost makes the other demons seem more monstrous, because Qual at least is "honest" in how he appears: an "inhumane" and vicious creature whose only desire is to kill, consume, and destroy. There is literally no difference between him and other demons other than appearance
This. Several demons shown in the arts I see in frieren as well as some episodes shows some demons don't look human at all. Some look more like beast-four legged creatures or even looking like medusa. Snake tailed, human upper body. It shows that they are something else evolving to look more human and that really is sinister to think about.
@@yunantheobserver6841 Kind of puts me of mind of the one scene from Inuyasha we’re Sango the demon slayer was talking to her brother about the dangers of demons and told him “The ones that look like monsters are dangerous, but the truly dangerous ones are the ones who look like humans. They are the true monsters.”
He also doesn’t seem to be using his words for manipulation. Unless he usually does but didn’t here, because he knew that Frieren would not fall for it. He just goes straight to business
Without giving spoilers, that bit in a later episode with the demon creating false empathy with a human by observing the condition of his son's bedroom was genuinely chilling.
Brings the whole Uncanny Valley reflex into play, I think. You see a ten foot tall demonic monstrosity, and you realize right away what you're dealing with. Something 95% human though? That just makes the brain start screaming about the other 5%
To put this into perspective, imagine he was one of the first gunpowder masters that could penetrate any armor at the time and his boss was like "In and out 20 minute adventure" and then he was like 'alright', got knocked out for hours and then woke up to find that within a couple of hours, people came up with modern body armor and then shot him with a 50 cal.
Thats uh... Yeah.
And in just 5 minutes, he catch up with the modern arms and trying to make it himself
That's a right frightful monster. He was outplayed not underestimated.
@@wanderingpika2099 He didn't. He just realized that shooting at body armor multiple times would eventually break it and cause penetration. His magic was the same.
Which is ironically fits it because gunmen are typically viewed by ignorants as magic users, and the guilds not keen of letting people know how they make it doesn't help the it.
Qual just woke up 80 years in the future and after 1 minute he already found the weakness of the modern magic.
Qual's final words to Freiren when she killed him with Zoltraak, he's just realised what Freiren has done to his spell. Obvious spoiler warning for episode 8. It was revealed after Fern used Zoltraak on a demon, that the spell has been drastically altered to be significantly more lethal to demonkind. Qual obviously realised that when he got hit, and explains how it so easily one-shotted a demon who four legendary heroes were forced to seal, rather than slay.
Powerful as the modified spell is vs demons it still needs to hit their heart or heads. It's enough to cause significant injury on no fatal hits.
Spoiler for ep8.
Fern always makes kill shots as per her training vs demons. Lughnar in ep8 barely avoided getting hit where his heart was. He had enough sense to move the very instant a warning was given. Anyway, this clip perfectly illustrates how extremely talented and competent Fern is as a mage. Unshakeable presence of mind, formidable defenses and talent in speed casting. At this point she's a novice adventurer making a team kill on a named elder demon. Quite an honour for her.
@@mrbluebell2735 And her able to hit something long range with great accuracy also help her alot. Non wonder serie wanted her to be her apprentice.
i know that the story put a lot of emphasis on magic development. But sometimes people often forget, mages is just 1 class. Stark was able to kill a demon very quickly with 1 slice through the heart, he did not have to do any research, nor develop his weapon to be more effective and lethal toward demons. Demons are simply that vulnerable to a heart attack.
@@teddanville6996 Stark is a warrior trained by one of those four legendary heroes, just like Fern. Eisen did say he was frightened of Stark because of how strong he was. And it did take awhile for Stark to land that blow, same with Fern.
Plus it's not too surprising Stark can cleave a Demon through the heart, the man can solo a Dragon after all XD.
@@tonts5329he just needed to believe?
I wouldn't mind having a dedicated anime about Qual... he seems very intelligent and collected
this character had a screen time of around 3 minutes, and yet I'm already in love lmao
In Frieren's initial encounter vs Qual, she had to basically enter a stalemate. She actually counts this as a loss until developing the means to finally end him.
That it's an event over 80 years later really hides the true effort made to ever come this monster.
Analysis of spell, development of countermeasure, maintenance and observe the prison, receiving and training a competent apprentice, develop and learn flight, modify zoultrack to actually be effective vs demons.
So many moving parts.
@@mrbluebell2735Very intresting. I think that's one of the unique aspects that you can't really find in any other anime... I really hoped that the fight would be longer tho
@@mohammedalahmed3133 i felt the same on first watch. Then realized that Frieren returned not as duelist but as executioner. No final appeal, no monologue or honourable duel. Just clinical death by firing squad after a long prison sentence. His victims are only mention in percentages and likely astronomically large over a long period of time. 7 of 10 mage encounters are fatal. Add another zero at the end.
His title was deserved. An honourable death afterwards isn't.
3 minutes of screen time and he's the most interesting character in the whole show.
If this guy had more time, and evolves his magic up to date he would be unstoppable , he’s basically if a guy invented fire powder, gets knocked out and wakes up where people used tanks and 50 cals and he figured out what flaws it has and how it works
Qual over here conducting an orchestra
I love how Frieren subverts the Tolkien-style narrative of magic where ancient magicks are more powerful than modern magicks, a trope that has been copied to oblivion. In Tolkien's universe, the amount of magic in the world decreases with time. Frieren's magic system more closely mirrors humanity's advancement in warfare, where our methods of killing each other have only gotten better over time. It's like the Roman Army at the height of their power attempting to go against a modern military, it would be a slaughter.
That must be why Frieren loves magic, as far as she's concerned, magic is constantly moving at a breakneck pace.
I think it’s both. There are some ancient spells that are more powerful than modern magic (like town barrier in episodes 7-8), but those were created by Flamme who was pretty much ahead of the curve. And we get almost scientific way of magic progression in terms of zoltrak and defensive magic
@danzansandeev6033, though in both cases, the power or effectiveness of the magic came at the competence of those who developed it, and not necessarily some mystical factor related to time. Really love where the series is going with this
Flammes magic is about as strange as it gets. Her barrier spells develop, mature and grow very slow and steadily.
It's almost like planting demon free zones in unusual and innocuous places. Areas that get ignored for centuries and decades till someone inadvertently stumbles into it.
Then they build an outpost, fortress and finally city in the safe zone before obtaining the means to fight back and win. That's really fighting a very long war when granted limited lifespans. The faith entrusted to future generations to pull this off is extraordinary.
What then after the war is won? A bed of flower to admire in peace would be nice.
Well ancient magics are stronger, in some department.
Is just that modern magic is catching up, at least in the human side.
Nah, the reason why Frieren loves magic so much is a lot more simpler: it brings smiles to the faces of the people she loves.
I love that Qual actually adopts when he knew his spell was compromised and adjusted his strategy. Most mages would have been dead if it wasn't Frieren or Fern.
It's insane how their magic is like 10 times more advanced than his but in just minutes, he figures out how to destroy the barrier
That's why they had to seal away quality for 80 years, so that they could come up with methods to over power him. But quality definitely lived upto his name. If he had been allowed to spend about a day or two after being freed from the seal, it would have been the same situation as it was 80 years ago. In mere minutes quality cought up with the defensive magic developed to counter the offensive magic he invented, and deduced the shortcomings in it and exploited it right away.
@@Monkeytheluffy56"quality"
@@caramelldansen7336 damn keyboard lol. But it's better this way.
@@Monkeytheluffy56 Agreed. Almost like a nickname
he didn't get angry or argue, he saw that defensive spell stop his attack and immediately started nerding out. he became Andrew Garfield seeing Tobey Maguire's webs: "🧐 how on Earth does that...?" this dude loves magic.
Eighty years ago, the most powerful magic of this evil demon was studied and countermeasures were taken afterwards, and now, eighty years later, it is powerless.
and he immediately figured out what he has to do after waking up for a few minutes
His spell is obsolete, not powerless. It's like the M1 Garand after the M16 was invented. While the battle rifle can not compete with the more advanced assault rifle, it is still a formidable weapon.
@@King_Jockeyhe lives up the name of the sage of destruction
@@thegemguy1334 His spell just became the norm, not obsolete. The craziest thing about him is that within minutes of waking up he found out what they were doing to protect themselves and tried it out himself
His stupid mistake was not assessing the situation and going in to fight an enemy he didn't know thier capabilities off. Pride is his downfall.
Frieren and Fern are definitely genius mages, but Qual is a prodigy above everyone else but the reality is unfair for him as Frieren has learned to play unfair by sealing him because of his capabilities and then kills him after 80 years where she has the upper hand. But it’s great to realize that Frieren understood all this and we can tell that Qual was able to learn and replicate magic from sight.
yeah it was totally terryfing that if Qual endured the fight just 2 or 3 more minutes, Frieren was pretty much fucked beyond salvation till other "complete" party fought him to "try" to seal him again, or in the worst case died while destroying him.
I like that Frieren considers legendary class spells to be magic that solves mundane tasks. Spells that make your life more convenient are probably much more useful in your day to day lives than combat magic.
Which, by the way, modern combat magic seems to consist of zoltrark, basic defence, and flying. I’m sure 80 years ago, Frieren used many other kinds of attack and defensive spells, but since zoltrark was so powerful, it completely changed the meta. All those spells Frieren has in her back pocket will probably never be used again because those three basic attack spells are significantly more effective in 99% of situations. But the legendary spells will never not be useful, hence why they are legendary.
It never made sense in like fantasy books and stuff where there was some ancient, magically advanced civilization, and apparently the only things left behind are weapons and armor
Where are their magical scissors that never break, or brooms that always get 100% off the dust, or white shirts that automatically clean themselves? Or knife sharpeners that don’t take forever to work?
@ñpppĥqñy12cara-seyun
Nah, the new meta is destroying shields with physical attacks, since Zoltrark is nerfed by shields.
Only Frieren sticks to Zoltrark as her main offensive spell, since it is effective against demons and she has enough mana to brute force most mages.
i love how they make magic like some kind of science in this world
Magic is just alternative physics.
you let that boy loose he'll build entire new competing magic systems just to keep you busy while he works on something _really_ fancy.
This guy was an absolute beast, judging by the speed an intensity of his spell, Qual did the equivalent of inventing a minigun and bazooka while humanity were still running around with chainmail. At 0:17, you can even notice how he managed to penetrate the magic shield designed to nullify his attack, no wonder why they have to seal him away.
Imagine if he was given enough time and was not driven away by his own pride
@@darkbolt5494 From the recent episodes, we've learned that the fly magic was something that were created recently after Qual was sealed so yeah, he got all the odds stacked against him.
@@darkbolt5494 he probably would have caught up in a mere week, or even days, I wouldn't be surprised if he came up with something even more powerful.
He managed to destroy the shield even earlier. At 0:12, he destroys one of the small ones that Fern casted. Continue you watching and you see him grinning (?). He most likely noticed that the barrier can be broken by Zoltraak, that’s why he went from exhausting Fern through spamming to just casting a single, much stronger Zoltraak in order to break through her defenses
@@fruhlingsrolle7303 This concentrated Zoltraak is the base for Fern to kill some Nameless Great Demon
As soon as qual woke up he figured out the weakness of modern magic. Oh yeah he definitely had to die 😂😂
Like how this show portrait how powerful time and human/magic evolution is. 80 years ago this was the most dangerous spell ever existed but then he got petrified and the next 80 years, people already has a counter to it.
More than that, it’s considered mundane xD. Fern calls it an “ordinary attack spell”. I imagine it’s like how a civil war era soldier would look at a revolver and see it as one of the most dangerous weapons to exist. It fires 6 shots before needing to reload! But show that to a modern soldier and he’d probably call it just any other gun, worse he’d considered it a novelty, subpar gun. Whereas to the civil war era soldier the revolver is one of the most complex and difficult to produce weapons on earth, a modern soldier is surrounded by assault rifles, and machine guns, never mind that his standard issue sidearm can fire more bullets, with more accuracy, than a civil war era revolver ever could.
@@ravenblood1954 It being an "ordinary attack spell" is simply terrifying. It's so effective at what it does that every mage needed to learn it. That doesn't make it weak or insignificant but quite the opposite. It is the meta of all attack magic. Qual even shows in this brief fight that it's counter while effective is imperfect. He prob would have won over either of them in a 1v1 as Fieren herself even states that Zoltraak is the spell that can possibly kill her as she can't defend against it instantly like with other spells. Qual figured out all he needed to do was to brute force the defense magic.
Zoltraak isn't a flintlock, no it's the M16 or AK47 of the magic world. This is the spell that you teach to every battle mage because it's that good.
which he then reproduced, analyzed, and developed counter strategy for adter seeing it once. he then systematically tested the spells limits and when one cracked he had a gauge for its scale and hit it exactly hard enough to break through
This makes me think of Sukuna getting revived after sorcerers spend generations figuring out how to defend against Strong Cleave
@Broskisnowskino
@Broskisnowskibleach brainrot
i hope gege flesh out maybe not sukunas backstory but heian era in general like how the hell sukuna got turned into fingers? how the fuck simple domain got invented ? how did domain expansions turned from simple rules that benefited the caster to just sure hit kill. unfortunately with how the manga is going seems like were not getting any of these answered
The thing is in Jujutsu you don’t learn the magic and powers, you’re born with it and simply improve the skills you were born with, you can’t really learn special techniques
@@luxi-x2361yes you can, like learning domains and shielding your soul
Hands down the best looking/sounding magic I've ever seen in an anime.
Agreed. Honestly the only thing rivaling it would be Mushoku Tensei. Sound department on that one knocked it out of the park.
Eh, the old sacred geometry CG spell stuff looks the same as all the others. Actually pretty generic
@@MALICEM12 IF you watched that and only saw the sacred geometry part you might need some glasses...
@@TrampMachine the fizzy glitter at the ends of the beams looked nice, but otherwise it's just grid shields (which looks really out of place for a medieval fantasy and makes it seem video gamey like it's another "stuck in a video game" isekai) and symbols. It's a fine execution of a tired trope, but it's still a tired trope.
People talk about super hero fatigue, I wonder when people will get anime medieval high fantasy with lots of bullshit magic fatigue
@@TrampMachine also, I'd say the magic in the reincarnated as a slime movie was better than these scene. But of course that's comparing a movie to a show.
0:20 I love how perfectly animated the 'r' is from her lips as she casts the spell! Madhouse have definitely stepped up their game!
Jeez, that volley of Zoltraaks he pulled put must have been devastating back in his time: dozens of unblockable bolts fired in a moment, piercing through armor and body. No wonder he was considered one of the greatest threats of his time.
What's it like coming back to that overpowered optional boss after you did all the quests in the game.
And so I did all of the sidequests first!
This scene was unironically more hype then the latest jjk episodes. The ost is 🔥
Ok lets not get ahead of ourselves, this scene was amazing, but its simply nowhere near the level of buildup as gojo vs the curses
@@macvadda2318fair but in terms of just standalone scene this was more epic. The explanation and the aha moment when you realized what was going on was so good. And ngl the jjk ost in s2 got nothing on this one
@@assarlannerborn9342 fair, the ost is the only thing i agree with tbh
@@macvadda2318 overrated trash with its normies! here they come
@@macvadda2318 tbh i m enjoying frieren more than jjk
It brings out the quality of a adventure slice of life i expect from a show with such beautiful world building and when necessary actions too
It’s awesome how quickly the managed to build up Qual as this major world threat and how Fern is able to somewhat hold up against him but would have lost fighting solo. It gives a great feel of where our characters are in power.
i find it impressive that he can figure out the weakness of the shield. it like playing certain cardgames where you have to block your opponent bigger attack by shielding using your cards in hand but then it going to run out of cards soon or later. that honestly genius
He also figured out, that the shield can be broken. At 0:12 one of Fern’s small shields gets destroyed, he grins and proceeds to cast a single, much more powerful Zoltraak in order to break through her defenses.
You people are underestimating this demon. Despite the 80 year gap, He instantly grasped the weakness of defensive magic after a few seconds. If he had a few years, he would instantly understand all modern magic and become a massive threat. That's why Frieren killed him quickly.
It might be looking too much into it, but at 0:32 I think Qual doesn't acknowledge the fact that he was killed by his own spell, it's that Frieren used a heavily modified and more powerful version of Zoltraak that Qual probably feels either cheated or he feels his "art" of a spell was been tarnished like that, to kill his own kin.
I feel like he was actually praising her. She not only managed to use his own spell but improve upon it to the point it one shotted him. It'd be like someone turning your old 9mm pistol into a Desert Eagle, with even less recoil of that of your original 9mm pistol.
Can't even be mad at that point. Only impressed by how much the spell has grown.
@@failegion7828 true, thats a more positive side of looking at it. But we cant know for sure because we dont know the mentality and personality of Qual enough.
Though from his reaction to the defensive barrier and how his zoltraak is now only considered a normal offensive magic, he took that as a challenge so I would say he was impressed though still a bit prideful.
@@obeliskt1024 If this guy had more time, and evolves his magic up to date he would be unstoppable , he’s basically if a guy invented fire powder, gets knocked out and wakes up where people used tanks and 50 cals and he figured out what flaws it has and how it works in a matter of moments
I think you're completely right. He's constantly analyzing their magic every single moment from the start of the fight, immediately devising a plan to catch up on 80 years of research and overcome defensive magic that was specifically tuned against his signature spell. Even in the brief moment between being hit and his death, he has instantly understood that Freiren substantially altered it to kill demons. I think his thought was, "My spell... what have you done to it?"
When Lugner is hit by the same spell many episodes later, he's stunned and needs to ask Fern what it is, and even then he has to piece it together. It really highlights how powerful and talented of a mage Qual is.
I love this so much, I love how the music only works to add to the combat
Macht said it well. Qual's only failure was that he made his signature spell so perfect it could be understood and replicated by humans (i.e., others). As a broad analogy, that means he clearly understood and laid out the functions of each component of the spell in its incantation, such that anyone who had an understanding of basic magical theory and employed logic could understand his work. It wasn't a personalised hack-job of duct-taped rituals around a genuinely powerful core (like much of the Mechanicus' technology in Warhammer 40k), it was a well-engineered no-nonsense weapon down to the last "bolt".
What I love about Qual was that, after he fired his first spell and got countered. He was thinking almost less than a minute then immediately found a flaw. Imagine if he had a whole day to process or even a few hours. At that point he would have created a much stronger spell that would be more deadlier. If Frieren didn't come to aid the village and Qual was awakened the world might be screwed other than Serie.
Learn the new meta in 1 minute. Bro only lost because he had no time to farm
😂
I like how Qual's Zoltraak is darkness as human killing magic, while Fern and Frieren Zoltraak is light just show how the humanity just conquered zoltraak and modified it back as a demon killing magic.
I need ost release already. It's so well done. Evan Call really went all out.
That's why Frieren had to beat this guy as soon as he woke up. Give him a month or maybe even a week at the modern world and he'd be bodying everyone, Frieren included.
Bro.....this is the 3rd ep!
You didn't have to go this hard guys!!
when u think about it, that Demon is so OP than Frieren need to petrify him and whole humanity need to reverse engineer his magic too kill him.
Getting hit by Frieren's version of Zoltraak was the equivalent of getting smashed in the face by a crumbled piece of paper made out of your paper plane.
You dare use my own spell against me, Frieren?
That moving sigil, cinematic zoom, flaring light, and the winding music at 0:19 takes the cake for me.
今までのアニメと違う、長年温めてきた企画だから、入念に人材を集め、丁寧な作画、細部にもこだわりのある映像、登場人物に合う声優陣、音楽と、物語性も私は漫画を読むことがないので、秋アニメで知った程度でしたが、アニメ放映と同時に、制作者からのコメントで知るようになり、いま秋アニメの一番楽しみにしてるアニメです。海外の方々も共有されてること嬉しいです😊
We are glad to see this masterpiece anime, too!
Did you help make Frieren?
i dreamt this scene from Qual's perspective several years ago
one never skip a fighting scene with such great ost.
Imagine becoming just a footnote to the spell you invented.... - Qual
This is like doing all the side quests before doing the first boss.
Zoltrak is basically a bullet/gun technology in the era of arrow and spear. This magic is so powerful and lethal that not only piercing any physical and magical armor/barrier but also make him wiped out more than half sorcerer population within that region. That's why study about Zoltrak become so important that even Frieren herself take huge part in developing magic to counter Zoltrak and aling with modified it to be more lethal to demonkin.
Today in peace era after the fall of Demon King, Zoltrak is required speels taught to sorcerer and now seen as basic magic along with its own counter.
Thats how's influential yet dangerous both Qual and his creation: Zoltrak, just like today's gun technology.
Seems like Qual didn’t expect to be done in by his very deadly magic attack like that. It’s quite amazing as to what nearly a century of developing, inventing, perfecting, and mastering new magics and spells can do while you’re stuck in a magical seal for a long time, huh?
He clearly didn’t expect HER to know the spell because last he saw her he could beat her. Had he thought about it for a moment he probably would have realized but he was too focused on defeating the new defensive magic he was seeing. It also hadn’t quite sunk in yet how quickly humans learn new spells. By the way he talks to Freren there, he seems to be a species just as long lived as hers and Zoltrok was probably centuries of work for him. He could accept that humans made new defensive magic to counter his spell but it was complex and inefficient in his eyes, so he probably didn’t quite believe they completely mastered (and judging from the rune circle Freren has) and improved his killing spell.
Its a sleep designed to kill demons. She turned his killing magic into a speel purely for killing demons
hexagons really are the bestagons
Credit for Qual too for inventing the magic... In term of perspective, I like to know what Qual felt when his magic become wide spread use...
Now this shiit hits hard for the recent episode, yall remember when fake frieren shot that black zoltraak?
Now it makes sense since the white zoltraak is modified demon and since frieren was not demon clone frieren fired that black zoltraak and it's effective thats why when fern shot that white zoltraak it doesnt affect clone frieren because that spell is modified for demon killing spell 😮
I love how ironic it is that he was destroyed by the very human killing magic he created and used. *BY HUMANS.*
Qual is my favourite villain so far in the series
This is like if a wizard froze Voldemort for 80 years to then unfrezee him and for him to find out that Avada kedabra was easily blocked with some defensive spell.
HOW DID I NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE OST
At first glance, he appears to be only one of the demons defeated early in the story, but most sorcerers continue to use his magic after that!
Demonic magic that has not been analyzed by humans is classified as a curse, but we know that the magic he created was so systematized that humans could understand it.
Like Himmel and the heroes of the South, he is a character whose reputation continues to grow even after his death.
That’s a good point, it’s clear he was a true mage, not just a monster with magic abilities
Dedicate your entire life to a single type of magic.
Perfect it.
Get sealed.
When you awake the humans you looked down upon have improved your spell by tenfold and it is used to kill you.
I don’t think they improved it. They modified it to work better on demons and monsters but unless the manga said something different, they didn’t improve it.
@@connorgrynol9021 yes its already perfect as is and that was it's downfall there was nothing to improve on something that was already perfect.
What humanity did was find an equally perfect defence magic that can negate practically all types of magic even physical attacks as long as they have the mana to fuel it.
I love the way things flow in this anime so much, especially related to the magic systems. The way he waves his hands, almost like pushing sand back into the ocean, it’s incredible
「このわしの魔法を」って魔法を盗んだって意味の他に改良したな！？って意味も込められてそう
クヴァールの性格的に多分そっちの方が割合高い
I like how you can see the sky on the other side of the planet
This fight was pretty chill
Qual certainly had the potential to become the next demon king in the next decades given how fast he adapted in a couple of minutes, he was the one at disadvantage here in contrary to any other demon fight in the manga and still showed why he should be feared
This fight is basically when you log in in a game since years of not playing it and now literally every single person is stronger than you.
Fern used Qual's techniques to defeat elite student from the academy in Mage exam
Only geniuses understand each other
Qual was one of the mage who defeated Frieren in the past. Unfortunately for Qual, Frieren got her time and dedication with her. She countered every mage that had defeated her with them in the future.
(spoiler alert) This includes Mach, who defeated Frieren with little to no effort in the past.
As cool as the fight is, I like the detail later on that Frieren gives, that he’s actually one of four beings who’ve defeated her in a fight. They had the luxury of decades to get stronger and easily dispatch of him, so it was definitely an unfair advantage. Not that that’s something that should be cared about when taking on demons. That said, it would be cool to see him take her on again had he not been frozen in time, especially considering how quickly he figured out their magic and even saw Frierens attack coming. She was right to double team him with Fern, cuz without her as a distraction, the fight might have been a lot riskier.
Qual was once something to be feared now is toyed like a kitty!
@andreadeluca9742 True but the world has changed alot since then and his knowledge is basically outdated by 80 years. If it had not been Frieren it would have been another mage that would take him out easily.
If he flee away that will be gg
@@pianoenthusiast people more skilled than frieren at killing demons even in the manga can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Serie would have wiped the floor with him even in his prime (duh), kraft would have been more than enough, after that it's down to the ~45 first class mage. I don't see qual being beaten by anyone else tbh.
Knowing fern only handled the defense even if she is still pretty inexperienced at this point should tell manga readers enough about the skill level required to actually beat this gigachad.
spoiler section:
I'm convinced it just HAD to be frieren because she is literally doomguy, killing demons is kind of her thing. frieren vs any demon is an unfair matchup for the demon because of how hyper specialized at killing demons she is. even if they are stronger like qual or macht she is still a pain in the ass for them. Fern obviously becomes a first rate mage a year after this scene and she was still a prodige when she first took the tests by being the youngest third rate mage presumably before or slightly after frieren showed up. Despite that frieren only allowed her to handle the defense meaning to me she trusted fern enough with this task while simultaneously being certain she is uncapable of actually defeating qual. Her, a future first rate uncapapable of defeating qual at this point when he is at his weakest. During the Aura arc frieren lets fern and stark fend for themselves against 2 demons she is definetly the kind of teacher who throws you off a cliff to teach you a lesson but she still chose to defeat qual herself. Only a first rate mage could take down qual here, emphasis on could.
Frieren takes no chance with this guy and it shows, he is one of the 11 people who bested her after all.
Idk man. Him replicating the defense magic, finding it’s weakness, and finally Those frames of him literally brute forcing and DESTROYING two of Fern’s barriers with that same killing magic says otherwise.
He would have absolutely killed anyone else if Frieren didn’t take him out by flying.
If the genius like Einstein and Tesla were to revive today, they would be confused for a few weeks then after a month of 2 they would be the top of the modern field. NEVER underestimate the pioneers about anything, they created the concept, any other genius who excelled in it simply copied it and added thier own spice.
I love when Qual manage to destroy one Shield, he immediately and confidentially use a bigger Zooltrak.
Fern learned her signature technique from this battle. Saturate until you calculate your opponent's limit, then hit them with exactly enough to shatter their defenses and defeat them.
From one of the very strong chapter boss to a tutorial monster…..what a tragic.
I'm not sure if it's just because he was always smiling, but he seemed to take some sort of twisted pride in the fact that they killed him with his own spell and that his spell has become essentially the foundation for many other magics.
0:15 The sound design here IS ABSOLUTE PEAK
Had he not been destroyed he would've scaled and would've doomed the world.
Qual's smirk almost reminds me of the digimon like Evil Cherubimon...
Just look at Fern kneeling down on the grass, totally exhausted. If the fight had taken a few seconds longer she might not have survived.
Reminds me of how bubonic plagues are defeated easily whenever they are resurged in the modern times thanks to advances in medicine
we needed more of Qual, spoiler alert but Qual is one of the very few demons who have actually defeated Frierin, what an absolute chad (a bad one, but still)
Love the damage the spells do to the terrain. 0:28 The Zoltraak blast through Qual and dug a hole through the hill.
Zoltraak reminds me of FINAL FANTASY 12 's Scathe. It's piercing death beam, but dark version of it.
Given that demons are all about their status as mages, Quall may have died proud to know that everyone would know and use his spell and that in a sense, he would be remembered long after his death.
Wow. The mangaka is known for crappy combat scenes, but they animated this so well.
Bro shaped the metagame, but failed to catch up
0:22 ❤
Also, at 0:26, he’s reaching for the attack. He knew he had no chance of blocking it, I think he was only wanting to touch the improved (and immortal) version of his spell
80 years of watching youtube guides to defeat boss
人間界、魔族界に多大な影響を残した超越者
ここで葬れなければ人間たちに明日はなかった・・・
Imagine being so broken that the meta has to adapt to you
What a shame, if he was allowed more time to observe and learn the modern magic system, he probably would've become a lot stronger.
well atleast he can take solace in the fact he revolutionized the combat magic of the wizarding world.
I'm one of these guys when see an evil character that it's design is cool he wishes for it to win even if he's aiming to erase all life form on the planet is there's something wrong with me? _😭😭😭_
she had to pause the game for 80 years to beat him
0:18 the way they panned the camera upwards and zoomed in on frieren
you dare use my spells against me potter
he should be proud. He magic will have worthy successors
Bro just got defeated by power creep
I feel like this anime came out of nowhere and is such a great show already. Madhouse cooking, haven't seen anything from them for such a long time, but this is fantastic. A fantasy slice of life for now, but the music and backgrounds are enough to carry the whole thing.
The manga started in 2020, those who are reading it are amazed how great this adaptation is
@@RWZiggy I guess there are plenty of great mangas out there, but the anime adaptation really matters.
@@powerofberzerker9487 Adaptations often have to leave things out or stop before the real end of the story, there are many fantastic light novels, manga, web novels out there that were source for great anime but only the readers know the full and real story.
Qual git beat by time, he found out the weakness but couldn't copy the defensive spell
