| What a great episode. The lesson we learned is to never sympathize with demons in this world. |

Sensing a lot of anti-demon settlement around here...
In seriousness, one of the fascinating points of the manga was their cutthroat depiction of demons. These guys are not human or even human-like.
Also one of the demons reminds me of Johan Liebert from Monster.

| @erikkamirs Good catch. While reading the manga I had no chance of making this connection, but now I just finished watching Monster before starting anime-Frieren and when Lugner appeared i had flashbacks. They are almost the same - cold, emotionless, scheming and murderous. |

On the 1 side, its clear that this anime is different to others, in the sense that there is no possible co-living between species, in this case, demons and humans.
Also, one could argue that the human, finally not killing the demon, is too idealistic. A warrior that has fought a lot, has lost a son and has the determination to grab the demons and kill them, then rejects because he is convinced by them?? On the other side, i truly believe he could do so, if tried. @RobertBobert thinks the same it seems. Didnt catch the part of "does not have the best timing, though"
Wanna see the fight between the Elf and the Demon!!! And hoping on a more close relation between both students.
@BitChilly It showcases that even though it’s hardly any time for Frieren, its perception is different in the eyes of humanity and in the case of the town, they can continue celebrating the legacy of the party. True, the next question from Frieren was, it will continue after 1000 years? For one side, the anime does well on highlighting this difference, however, doing repeatedly is kinda boring. We know already!
That’s already an example of the capability of demon : I mean, he is to be one of top demons, i guess not all demons are like that. If all demons are like that, there has to be powerful reasons for them to not dominate the world. On the other hand, though the explanation of how demons started talking, one can not oversee that evolution is the key, so what was useful and important to explain things 100 years ago, might not be true afterwards. I hope this is not the case, as Frieren has it very clear, and the example that they showed us, wasnt when she was starting to life, but with the Hero Party, so 80 years ago.

| @BaronLukis I wanted to say that 2020s is not the best time to imply that other nations are only pretending to want peace and in fact allegedly want to cynically kill you without having a “soul.” |

@RobertBobert Hhahah totally agree, thought this is a constant in warfare history, or history in general hehe
| @BaronLukis Well, I'm more than sure that the author did not mean anything xenophobic and this is just a contrast to demonstrate the importance of empathy and love for one's neighbor. It's just that out of context in this day and age it might sound a little ambiguous, if you know what I mean. |

| Fuck yeah man now we're getting somewhere. I knew things will get exciting now that they're in the northern lands. Also, gotta give props to Himmel. My man is long dead and only shows during flashbacks but he always says some profound shit. |

| I feel like Fern is only acting polite on the surface, but Stark sometimes brings out her true and harsh self lol Guess we'll eventually see another elf in this season, which would be a special occasion even for Frieren. Seems like humans do need elves around to see the true nature of demons, lies and perception. |
| In Eisen's long thousands of years life, he values the decade year of adventure with the Heroes' party. That's so amazing tbh. Looks like they got formally allowed to go through the gate, and Frieren doesn't like that thing. Same! |

| Clearing out the landslide for the the travling merchant and the future ones to come was kind of Frieren and them. The little town with the statues of the Heroes was an interesting place and it was nice to see the people of the town still celebrating the heroes. Frieren asking that man if they would still celebrate the victory of the Heroes in 100 years was an interesting topic and it made me wonder how long they would celebrate the victory. I personally hope its forever as i love Himmel and i wanna see more of him in flashbacks. The town with the deomns was quite fascinating and it had me quite confused when the guard stopped Frieren from attacking. Frieren being locked has me worried and that demon pulling up at the end has me even more worried. The scene with the King talking about how his son died to the demons and how he was gonna enact revenge had me hyped, i personally really like the king and its tragic he was fooled by the demons. The flashback with the demon child and the town of people was quite cool and seeing Himmel slice off her hand in one quick motion was quite cool and Frieren finishing her off. |
