I fully expect 1008 more.
El papu rojo se soleo un dragon
I was just thinking, the dragon is probably like.. "dude wtf, i thought we had a deal, i left the town alone, you leave me alone.. we had a good thing going."
I mean to be fair, dragons probably have a way higher life span than humans. So he was probably just gonna wait till he dies of old age and get back at attacking the village
"Not cool, bro!"
drake : "holy crap...."
Wow good theory there@@Hot_Sans
@@Hot_Sans
Dragon is just playing the long game by waiting for the right time to make its nest directly in the village. But not until Stark get his wake-up call from Frieren so that he can now stop trying to cower off.
Stark: "You old hag"
Frieren: It's already dead.
Stark: The dragon?
Frieren: No you. "Zoltraak"
Lmao that cracked me up
Lmao
**Frieren will remember that**
I laughed at the plot twist
Frieren: *smug face*
Stark's teacher, Eisen, is unimaginably strong. How strong? He got hit by a dragon's tail and was launched an incredible distance and when he hit the ground it left a crater. He was completely unharmed. Eisen's only reaction was basically "Dragons are pretty strong". *And Eisen finds Stark's strength the be terrifying.*
Eisen is 100% more durable and tough than Stark but looks like Stark can tolerate pain well and hit much-much harder than Eisen
@@s2wuolf508 Perhaps for now. Stark is still very young and has time to grow
@s2wuolf508 If Eisen is 100% on both defense and offense, Stark might be 70% defense and 130% offense.
@@tobiasnguyen2502I think eisen may be at 150-200% defense, he changed frieren’s common sense of how durable a warrior should be after all.
@@s2wuolf508basically stark is def stronger; he just doesn't have the experience. Eisen would beat him every time for the next 20 years but once he gets his 20 years of experience in, then that's just game stark would take prime Eisen at an equivalent age
“Aren’t you gonna shoot, it’ll kill me”
“Bro you solo’d it.”
"nah, you'd win"
@@eloquentsloth6080Basically every conversation anyone has with him about any upcoming challenge.
You can tell the two first attacks were to keep Stark away. The dragon absolutely didn’t want Stark to come close
That’s really cool to think about. The dragon knew from the beginning that Stark was not one to be messed with.
"Grrr(Please don't kill me)" is how the dragon's moves are defined as an animal in this scene lol
honestly looking back all of the dragons attacks can be summed up as defensive maneuvers. the fire breath. sweeping the ground infront of stark. trying to swat stark away from making contact to only have his claw shattered. once stark gets on him the dragon flies up trying to fling stark off. the dragon wanted nothing to do with stark
the dragon can just fly away .
@@saharudin3159 The problem is that it also doesn't want to give up it's nest/treasure, the dragon is smart enough to know not to mess with Stark, but it also instinctually can't just give away its stuff. Like imagine that Bruce Banner comes to your house and tells you to give up everything you own and leave, you're smart enough to know not to mess with the Hulk, but would you really want to at least not try to defend yourself when the person before is still just only Bruce Banner?
"A dragon is an intelligent creature, it won't pick a fight with a powerful opponent for no reason."
The thing Frieren says mirrors something that Stark said to her when she said why she wanted the grimoire.
"A Solar Dragon isn't something you pick a fight with 'for no particular reason!'"
Stark and the dragon are mirrors of each other. Two powerful beasts staring each-other down from their respective nests, each unwilling to engage in an unnecessary battle to the death.
They're even both red.
All good points
that's some philosophical shit right there
Needs more likes
Beautiful
It also shows that the dragon, a demon, values power and magic while humans value people, communities and life.
Despite the risk to it's life, it could not consider sacrificing it's nest ( a magical horde), just as straak chouldn't abandon the village. The dragon gained comfort and strength in it's treasures, just as our dear warrior did while living in the village.
Demons appear to be extremely individualistic, they'll work together but only in a magic, meritocracy forum that bars all none demons, like all the billionaires of our real world. While the humans are just us normal people, we excel through co-operation and are driven by forces beyond our own, personal, interests.
It's truly the difference between a sociopathic narcissists and an empathetic person
My guy has everything it takes to be the strongest warrior but self esteem.
Literally only thing prevented him oneshotting the dragon was imposter syndrome. 😭
The best part was the dragon KNEW on instinct that Stark was a monster xD. He completely avoided the village because he really didn’t want to start a fight with him xD
More common than you think. Some people need to believe in themselves but were not raised for in an environment that cultivates autonomy which is sad.
Bro had all the ingredients but dont know how to cook ☠️
@@monasfart7835suprisingly acurate comparison
More like he knew how to cook but afraid that it tastes bad
I love the way his introduction was presented. You first get introduced to Stark like he's some hero who fearlessly fought a dragon. Then it gets revealed that no he's a coward and a fraud, and THEN you get revealed HE is so strong even Eisen was fucking afraid of him, EISEN, the man who could jump 2000 feet off a mountain on a freefall, land on his head and be unscathed, is afraid of Stark. But the truth is he is STILL a coward, but he then eventually learned to overcome that cowardice nature and proved that his rumored unfathomable strength to be correct.
What a fucking rollarcoaster. And funny thing is the narrative never lied, only making vague enough statements to be bendable through context. Writing is superb. 🔥
I also like that every time warriors are involved, you hear that everyone of them was afraid at some point. this shows stark, that he doesn't need to be ashamed of his fear. realy a breath of fresh air from all those anime protagonists, who still visit school but have no trouble to face impossible odds all the time. usually the cowards in anime are here for comic relief or to show how amazing everyone else is compared to him. here we have someone, who is constantly afraid of his fights but by overcoming his fear, he is the most epic warrior ever
The greatest heros are not those who have no fear but those who overcome their fear to to that which must be done.@@calronkeltaran493
He's like Zenitsu if he had a direction.
Being afraid and still doing what needs to be done is what bravery and heroism is really about after all
Eisen was trebling to. And afraid so
stark thinking he could be even in the same city as "weak" is amazing
bro one shot a dragon
And it’s the first thing he’s ever killed too xD. Up until that point he’s never been in real combat
I mean when youve been in your brother's shadow all your life...
@@Loispealz34and also having only ever sparred with one of the best warrior in the land. It kinda skewed your perspective
He hit it twice
@@Loispealz34 his brother's the goat
Never thought I would be able to watch an action scene with a dragon all in 2d, no CGI..... They handled it sooooo welll
Kaido in one piece was amazing as well he was 2d most of the time whenever he was in dragon form and it looked sick asf
There is CGI, it’s used as a tool and not the finished product or focus.
The best type of cgi is cgi you can't even tell is there
Yeah theres both 3d and cgi in this.
They have definitely used cgi here but its on the level of ufotable, orange, and kyoto studios where you can't tell
Ngl i love how his running animation looked. Characters usually ninja-run or dash forward in a flash in anime fight sequences, but the guy was running like hes competing in the olympics. A really nice touch tbh
I imagine it's also a great deal more expensive to animate this style of running, but I guess the Frieren animation team is too stronk to not do it.
@@CheekiTiki also they might had model to semi rotorscope it...
@1:06 Imagine swinging so hard to break a dragon's claw that you get kept afloat midair from the shockwave of the impact. That's friggin crazy.
I just realized that, he hit the claw so hard he boosts himself up
Bro rocket boosted
And even ascended.
Love how Freren never forgets stark calling him an old hag lol.
She has a perfect memory after all.
She can remember where she walked 500 years ago lol
She even remembers the time she spent with Flammel 1000 years ago to exact details. It would take thousands of years for her to forget.
Even the boy who flipped her skirt she remembered, lol
To be fair even by the end of the season that span of time is like it happened yesterday XD
Fun fact! Frieren told Stark to hold the dragon off for 30 seconds which is exactly how long the fight lasted from the first blow in 1:06 to the final one in 1:36.
Nice catch :D
that's a nice detail I didn't realize lol it's really indeed 30 seconds only

@@ericdragon4137Hou did u know that?
@@okok-kq8peprobably bcoz his style is very recognisable
@@okok-kq8peit's already been confirmed to be nakamura, he went not-credited thinking we wouldn't notice his animation style lol.
I like the idea that Stark is already built different,but his mentality is what holds him back. So layer by layer he starts getting more confident and unleashing more of his true potential,combo that with the many people teaching him new skills along his journey and he might become the most legendary warrior of that world.
Zenitsu vibes
@@FTW1230 Except Zenitsu is annoying af unlike our relatable goat, Stark.
@@FTW1230 Zenitsu also doesn't grow as a character, Stark does
Stark actively overcomes his fears, Zenitsu sleeps and everything magically resolves itself
@@DawnAfternoon zenitsu definitely does, but it’s later into the manga when he’s facing his brother
@@FTW1230for one fight. And it took too much time. Can't blame them for being annoyed by him.
I love how no kind of slow motion of some kind was used to display build up of something, which made it last exactly 30 sec, which was Frieren's instruction to Stark. The fluidity of the fight was next level
The series doesn’t give a damn about building up tension or anything…
@@Apfelkind4000if it works it works
I felt the panic from 1:45 to 1:57 like she was going to make some point about him needing to fight his own battles but it was kinda better than that because it was the trope of him being stronger than he realized but without the putting him in mortal danger as a training tactic.
He needs resolve!
You say it
As someone pointed out in the comment section, Frieren told Stark to engage the dragon closely for 30 seconds to give her an opening. From the first time Stark makes contact with the dragon to the moment it is dead , only 30 seconds have passed in between. She gave him a time limit and he did the job within it . If not , Frieren or Fern would've certainly helped . I'm glad that Frieren usually doesn't just shove her students into the face of mortal danger to see their limit . She did the same thing with Fern and Qubal ; told Fern to give it her all to defend , it took a lot of effort but Frieren took down Qubal in a moment. Fern got a huge experience with being in mortal danger .
Same. Seeing frieren just standing still after stark "pinned" the dragon made me panicked for him 😂
this "old hag" was so personal lmao
I laughed so hard when he started shit talking her
And she's going to make him regret that the entire journey too. lol
@@0doublezero0no worries, Stark first 3 seconds joining the team and he got called out for his thing small by Fern w
Maybe
@@0doublezero0 more like make him reconsider judging by her birthday gift for him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Frieren's previous party have already had outstanding members. A priest with really strong holy magic, a dwarf with unparallel endurance and strength, and the hero as a human defeating a Demon King for the first time. But their disciples have even more potential. They only lack experience.
Was it every explicitly stated in the Manga the hero defeated the demon king? Everything seems to imply Frieren defeated him and let the hero take credit because she never wanted to be famous. Not that the hero wasn't likely strong. But lets face it he never actually was the hero. (he fails to pull the hero sword after all.)
They all do their part. Frieren was not strong as she is today compare before the journey to the demon king. @@luminaire4946
@@luminaire4946Frieren has said if any one of them died during the fight they would have lost. Also theres a lot of foreshadowing that there was more to that fight than we're lead to believe, like the demons knew they were gonna lose.
@@luminaire4946 I feel like they didn't kill the actual demon king, only a substitute/bodyguard and that the current party will go on to kill the real demon king.
@@luminaire4946 The hero sword wasn't a test of strength, it was most likely enchanted to be pulled out by it's rightful owner or a good theory that I saw is that the sword was designed to never be pulled out, you don't need to be the stereotypical "chosen one" to be a hero, it's in your heart to be one. Either way, Himmel was already shown to be strong, as shown in one of the flashbacks of Frieren, if I recall it correctly, he nonchalantly blitzed a demon to save a child.
When you grind 3 days to prepare for a boss fight and hit it once to just fall on the spot.
I thought you were stronger....
I love how when Stark and the Dragon met, they were both so petrified of each other! 😂
Dragon - "Ight I'm out,"
Stark - "Holy fuck that's a Dragon,"
Nakamura, Yamashita, Watanabe, Yoshihara and Chris being in the same episode literally made me scream like a girl
Simply the top of the top animators. It's funny that in 2022, there was this discussion about Chainsaw Man vs. Bocchi the Rock. Now it's 2023, and we have the director of Bocchi the Rock (Keiichirou Saitou) working with the action director of Chainsaw Man (Tatsuya Yoshihara), the Bocchi the Rock's chief animation director (Kerorira) and assistant director (Yuusuke Yamamoto), the Chainsaw Man's Opening director (Shingo Yamashita), another two episode directors of Chainsaw Man (Shun Enokido and Hironori Tanaka/TNK), and key animators from Chainsaw Man (Takahito Sakazume, K1ro/Keiichiro Watanabe, Yen_BM/Chris, Kouki Fujimoto, Ayaka Tsuji and Toru Iwazawa who's the action director of Frieren) and Bocchi the Rock (Toshiyuki Satou). And I could go on.
This is truly a sakuga dream team... i havent seen this big of a production team since one punch man s1.
Na-Ya-Wa-Yo-Ch
@@DaniSenpai jjk is also insane this season
Who?
Goosebumps!
Knowing your apprentice will become greater than yourself is every teachers dream
1:16 - 1:20 This shot is absolutely incredible (The whole scene is like 99% drawn entirely by hand! Blows my mind)
Yeah it really captures how large moving objects seem to move both slow and fast at the same time! It's mind-blowing how realistic that ride felt.
it must be my 20th time watching this and I just can't stop. The music, the pride in the teachers statement, the sens of adventure and the whimsical feeling that this is only the beginning. Great show and great scene.
Fr
Now imagine how OP himmel was during his prime. My man blitz through aura's demon army
& Hero of the South
@@konosuba350 The Hero of the South was far stronger than Himmel. Too bad he got killed when he fought 8 Sages of Destuction at the same time but at least he got 4 of them which cut the strength of the demon army by at least a half. The Sages also posess the most incomprehensible magic to mankind and that means human/elven mages can't counter it unless they posess great magic analysis ability which will take years to decipher. Truly remarkable
@@anders8461seven. And he killed 3 of them. One was killed by himmel team, while they couldn’t kill qual the sealed him. And 2 more survived, one of which was aura
@@danzansandeev6033 Qual isn't one of the seven sages of destruction, he's the elder sage of corruption.
Himmel's party killed 2, Hero of the south killed 3 + Schlatt, and Aura was killed by Frieren.
Also, 8 demons attacked hero of the south, the seven sages and omniscient Schlatt.
Hero of the South is even more powerful than Himmel. Well he did have Foresight, but still he fought 7 Sages all by himself, not even Himmel's party can do that
Frieren: Why did you hit him?
Eisen: He provoked my Attack of Opportunity.
Frieren: ...
Eisen: ...
Frieren: Fighters...
BG3??? 👀
I adore the transition between the two songs here. We start with "Fear Brought me This Far", which is very much Stark's theme, a song about courage in the face of pissing-yourself fear, but the moment Stark starts *winning* , We switch to "Zoltraak", which is usually Frieren or Fern's theme for when they're kicking ass, but Stark gets to share it this time.
Both songs are absolutely incredible, but I love their use to change the emotion of the moment on a dime, from "This dragon is terrifying, but Stark is facing his fears anyway." to "Nah, ya boi's got this, he just doesn't know it yet."
i'll say you're close to the mark, But in a different way.
"Fear has brought me this far" Is likely Eisen's theme, since fear brought him far enough to slay the Demon King and retire to his home to take a pupil of his own to train and instruct. The second theme is an unreleased track, which we don't know the title of yet, but It's definitely Stark's theme. matching him rising to an occasion to protect someone else.
I return to announce the soundtrack has released yesterday.
The second track after "Fear has Brought me This Far" Is titled "Dragon Smasher".
Yes, the dragon smasher is Stark!! I agree with your opinion about these two songs.
@@chieh-yuchang100 There's also a track titled Stark the Pure. check that out too
@@Razgriz_Gundam I don't know for sure, but because of Serie's trial, I think "Fear Brought Me This Far" works really well with Fern as well.
They dont need to go hard on this one, this particular scene has only 1 panel yet they overdid it. Man, whoever behind the Choreo and the Animation Team. WP!
waw really, the entire fight only on one panel? That is insane animators work!
@@kingki1953 yes. It is not an exaggeration that the anime hard carried the Manga. Action isn't the main point of Frieren after all. Frieren deserves this high quality adaptation.
Finally, an anime that shows how to really defeat a dragon without breaking some rules of that universe
Yea, hit it harder
@@Ghost200x well... i mean... if it works right? xD
@@Ghost200x The golden rule from the faraway paladin, brute strength can solve just about anything.
@@WasabiCannon Yup when in doubt, use more strength
@@Ghost200x Sooo more Unga to the Bunga or more Bunga to the Unga?
What’s crazy is stark hits the dragon and on impact he sends himself flying. That just goes to show how much raw power he has
Both the animation and soundtrack are fantastic!
Generally it's rare to have both sides really great but when it happen's like here it's like getting into another world
@@jl3438 Exactly! It's one thing to have clean animation but having a great soundtrack to compliment it is just perfect.
Not bad
When I saw Evan Call was doing Frieren's OSTs I was pretty hyped. He's a music pimp
One thing that I really admire about the Japanese is how the music in all their soundtracks always goes so hard.
They understand how important it is. Although this sound track was created by an American composer
the music was composed by Evan Call dude, he is American 😂
@@kingki1953 Doesn't change that the show is Japanese.
@@Mediados yeah, but show that the music is from Japanese. In fact, the music type that compose by Evan call for Frieren anime is Celtic.
@@kingki1953 Nothing of this I disagree with. It just isn't related to the original comment. I only said that almost all Japanese soundtracks go hard, not that their composers or music is Japanese.
two things I like this scene,
1. they used an "accurate" dragon 4 legs and wings instead of the two legs and wings/legs that make up a wyvern.
2. in the anime I have noticed that while elves, drawves, and demons are stronger than humans, humans procreated far faster, and progress far faster than any of the other races, allowing for prodigies to be born like fern, stark and flamma(probably spelled her name wrong sorry). I kind of like this idea because it perfectly sums up the idea of the humans hero/champion that will take on unimaginable challenges the likes no one else could
Bruh, that's why Hemmel, Heiter, Fern, and Stark was very strong because they progress faster than any long living being
@@kingki1953 im glad you also realized, and to think they will only get stronger from here this really is the age of humans
The camera angles are insane. Of course the animation is top notch as well. I'm so glad I trusted the people that told me this anime is good and stuck through the slow burn.
I guess the relatively slow pace is not for everyone then. Personally I loved every single scene, there was not a single moment I didn't enjoy. I actually enjoyed it so much that I couldn't binge watch it like usual, at many points I only watched one episode a day to fully enjoy everything. Even now, long after finishing the anime, I find myself going back to watch parts frame by frame to appreciate the animation of even the simple things.
Is Madhouse trying to bring back their forgotten glory? I'm not disappointed with this anime.

Yo MAPPA is returning to its glory days Fr fr
What glory
Remember folks, the dragon didn't even want to fight Stark. But it did because of how terrified it was of his strength.
Just tell me one thing this anime lacking ost, opening, animation, wholesome, action, drama, romance, fantasy, storyline,background score everything is just top notch truly a masterpiece 🥺
more episodes
I like how Frieren knew Stark was very powerful and just stands with a little smile when she sees him in action.
this is what my cat sees when he's trying to climb on me when I'm getting ready for work
I’m ngl the way this anime inserts commentary, music and flashbacks during fights before a final blow or big moment is INSANE. By far my favorite anime I’ve watched in a while
1:16 peak of cinematography here! its like how standstill camera view likes. I LIKE IT!
I love the little details in this. The dragons pupils dilate right before stark lands his final strike. *For those who don't know that's what happens right after dying* just the force from his strike. It shows just how strong he truly is.
1:15 Love the animation. Seeing Stark's hair and clothing whip in all directions from a snoricam as the dragon tries to shake him off was an excellent decision.
Funny how stark dint realize he killed the dragon until freiren says its already dead.
Which is why Eisen is so afraid of his strength. Stark is so strong he can one-shot a dragon and not _realize_ he one-shotted a dragon. That kind of strength can turn bad if the one wielding it doesn't realize the damage they can do.
Because the script said it
@@user-SanderBrock Yea I can say that about your favorite series and I would be right too
@@andrewowens4421 this also explains why fern was scared when stark touched her shoulder
@@user-SanderBrockI can say that for any great literature out there both modern and classic (Shakespeare, Brandon Sanderson) and I'd still be right
The detail of the dragons fire as starts from it's chest until it actually shoots is such a nice touch
i loved how stark holding his axe on neck while charging. the physics on this anime is working.
This moment is so wholesome and emotive that I think I watched it too many times. The moment Frieren smiles proudly when she realises what Eisen meant when
he told her about Stark is priceless. This anime is beyond other animes. Thank you so much Fred for recommending me this piece of art.
I love this show, the way it gets the nature of things and the psychology in every race on how they would be if they existed.
Stark not realizing his strength is the biggest point of humility I've seen from any character. He is a monster.
Just a simple animation in a wholesome fantasy slice of life anime. No really, this is such a polished show. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm a jjk fan but this truly deserves aoty
It seems that while Eisen and Stark are both "warriors" Eisen is actually really very tank focused. He can just jump off cliffs no issue and was unharmed by a dragons tail. Stark on the other hand can't do those things but his axe swing is unimaginably strong. That's why Stark terrified Eisen: he realized his student is so strong that he could actually seriously damage even Eisen who's basically immortal and has directly faced unharmed basically every kind of monster. And we see that here with Stark just cutting down a literal dragon.
(they're both really fast though)
Looking back at the mages exam and stark here, it kind of escapes you that stark could probably pulverize every single mage in that exam without much problem.
Imagine if Stark also got a copy in the dungeon. It will be an instant kill if a mage face him in the corner.
Hard to say actually.
MAYBE he could keep up wit those using more "traditional" magic through his brute strength to pulverize whatever they throw at him.
But then you would have Wirbel being able to lock him down if the fight starts from too far away or Ubel's magic. We don't really know how good Ubel actually is a 1v1 combat as she only ever fought herself.
If he gets close, he could probably kill all human mage participants. Not Frieren and the proctors.
@@neerajcherukuri4052 Maybe, however, way later in the manga, spoiler:
Frieren puts fren and herself at a distance, and says that stark could take them both out without much problem at that distance.
@@hajkie I've read that. But there's a 2-3 year gap between first class mage exam and the present arc. He has faced foes like Revolte and Solitar since the exam arc. Stark might be able to do that in the present arc, but not at the time of First class mage exam.
1:16 looks so freaking cinematic. Frieren is upto a bunch of awards this year.
Unfortunately Demon Slayer also has a season this year, so it will take many awards away because its so popular. I'm not hating, I like the anime, but I don't think its animation is as impressive as Frieren or JJK because those don't rely as heavily on 3D and aftereffects.
that "Kuso-baba" is filled with so much hate. I love it
Frieren will always remember that
Spoiler if Stark says that again 3 times then frieren will cry for 3 full days
This is the episode that really got me hooked on the show
Same
I really like how the episode here extended the fight more than the manga.
When the budget is a blank check….
This was the scene I knew this show was an instant classic.
Damn, most of us realized it in ep 1
This 30 secs was one of the best fights Ive seen in animation.
The best part about this whole fight is how bamboozled the dragon and stark both were. The dragon obv didn’t expect to die and stark thought HE himself was gonna die. Then frieren is just like “he’s dead dude”
The dragon knew he'd die if he faced Stark , why did you think the Dragon stomped the rampage on the village as soon it saw Stark?
I don't think I have ever seen a dragon fight animated and choreographed quite like this
Oddly enough, that…………..didn’t quite last as long as I expected it to be. Still, I gotta admit. That was quite the cool fight there!
in manga it's even shorter, Stark just one shot the dragon
that's what she said
Its exactly 30 seconds
Can you tell me the chapter in which it happens?@@aokazidrakeryu1872
Frieren fight is more about efficiency, usually around 2-4 pages with the longest fight around 2-3 chapter
Stark can hold onto his axe and his own bodyweight while being flung around by a dragon almost a 100 times bigger than him using only his fingers and some medieval boots
I keep coming back to this scene it’s so beautifully set up animation aside
Eisen’s VA line delivery is so well done I find myself quoting it at random while walking around at work 😂
1:06 goes hard
It is pretty cool that his battle is even more popular than the battle with Frieren vs Draht.
Can I get an order of "Oops, I just solo'd the dragon" achievement!
God what'd I'd give to forget and watch frieren again ❤
When Himbo locks in
yutaka nakamura's work is simply unmatched. beautiful key animation!
i liked that this clip is not just flashy and messy like most of animation nowadays do, this clip was very smooth and clean
I love this show. It’s usually this bitter sweet take about finding connections and reflecting on your last but then it has epic fights like this
The music bro is so good
I feel bad for Eisen😢 he wanted to make Stark strong as a Warrior so badly that his body moved on its own to hurt his student😢. Can’t imagine how heart wrenching it would be. But it gave me chills when Eisen said his apprentice will become an incredible warrior.
That dragon was secretly shitting his pants the entire time
NOthing secret about it. The first thing the dragon did was trying to get distance. If it had not made its home there, the thing would have straight up flown off and never returned
Deep into the Series I still wonder why nobody calls him Stark the Dragonslayer yet
Bruh.
You could tell right from the get go that that Dragon wanted non of that.
He was not ready for the smoke.
the moral of this episode is : believe in yourself. if you don’t, at least try
animator "so how much budget and time should we put into this scene?"
director "yes."
animator: sir, but it is just one panel
director: you are right. let's add some epic music as well
Wait until you watch Frieren and Fern vs Frieren's copy
One of the great things about Frieren is that is features so little BIG action that the budget can really be saved for it.
We have this and the fight at the fight to finish exam 2. Otherwise the fights are simple and quick.
@@GameBreaker1055 the thing is that they splurge on animation all the time, even when theres no action. just the movement of hair budget is crazy.
I only just realized that that first strike on the dragon's front leg not only shattered it's claws, but also still had enough power to push the air and propel Stark and keep him afloat
"Ayo that dude kinda fast doe"
"why he lookin at me like that?"
"HE'S COMING FOR ME!!!"
1:14 OMG..EPIC ANIMATION BACK THERE..U CAN EVEN FEEL YOURSELF IN THERE.
Am I the only one who got goosebumps during this scene?

this is what sold me on frieren, its so cool looking
Everyone impressed by starks strength im even more impressed by his axe bro got unbreaking ♾️
This guy is literally monster who surpassed his teacher that consider dragons as teen
Damn Madhouse, blessing us again with that beautiful animation
that shot of stark hanging onto the dragon is incredible
Me being melee lvl 30 when I fought the dragon lvl 40 in Dark Souls and my mage friend lvl 120 left me alone in the cooperative
This is genuinely one of my favorite fights in anime, period. But I want to elaborate.
First of all, the Dragon is afraid of Stark, but that’s not just something we can tell because Frieren said so. If you look at its moves, they all seem to scream “No, you stay the fuck away from me and my vital organs you motherfucker”.
But they’re foils of each other, Stark is afraid of the Dragon too, likely proportionally more scared than the Dragon as he is more powerful than it.
They never use slow motion between the first hit and the last, so it shows it lasted exactly 30 seconds, which is exactly how long Frieren asked him to hold it off, and he went above and beyond that. The length of time a seasoned adventurer asked him to hold off a Dragon, is how long he took to fucking KILL it. Don’t forget, it’s his FIRST TIME FIGHTING A MONSTER.
The fact that the dragon left the village as a “fuck this” move, and then we were made to believe that it just didn’t feel like it at the time, then it was re-revealed that, actually, yeah, the dragon saw him and was like, “fuck that shit, I’ll come for this town when old age takes him I suppose”, is just such a crazy turn of events that’s one of my favorite rollercoaster rides in the entire anime.
This scene and this fight, are so brief, and yet show the immense potential of Stark, and as incredible as the rest of the show is, they have yet to give him a showing as dope as this one. The pace of the rest of the show being so much slower than this I think is a choice to further illustrate the point that he fucked the dragon up in NO TIME, hitting it like, 3 times total maybe? I mean, smaller monsters have gotten more time to shine I’d bet.
All of that’s to say, I can’t wait until we see a bit more focus on Stark, if we ever do, and I’d love to see him at his peak, and if he ever becomes as durable as Eisen, he’ll likely be the greatest warrior who ever frontlined.
Truly, I think the greatest tragedy is that the demon king was dead before the kid was born, because I’d love to see the party eventually fight something so terrifying, and I want them to fight something that surpasses even the Hero’s Party.
this is literally what i picture in my mind's eye when i'm playing Monster Hunter
This is one of my favorite scenes in all the anime ngl
Perfect edit cut at the end!
You know he the real deal when one of the team member of party who defeated demon king says he was scared.
man the sentiment behind that "old hag" never fails to crack me up, what a good VA
Dang that was some really nice smooth animation there😮
Nice fluid animation, pretty cool.
