It was the same at the previous episode, and this too: they just cut off where the things get exciting! Beside this, I like the drawings, the personality of frieren and fern.

A typical Frieren episode. Not much happened, but it's still 10/10.

I only have one thing to say; when I saw the title of the next episode (Fatal Vulnerability), my first thought was:
"Great, they found a way to beat her and I can predict it with 100% confidence."

My thoughts exactly!! If this turns up to be true, it would be a great anticlimax lol

They didn't even come near the fake Frieren this episode. This is so frustrating!

Everyone faces off against perfect replicas, truly a challenging exam...

I know there might be some complaints about this arc being very "battle-shounen-like", but besides the excellent action scenes, the world-building and exploration have been very solid. The highlight of the episode for me was probably Übel and Land's scene together, as their dynamic remains a joy to watch with how they trust each other to do certain things. Fighting against replicas of the characters is quite a unique test for everyone, and with Fern thinking she can kill the Frieren clone, this should be an interesting battle, and I hope it's as epic as other fights in the series so far.

Raaah what an episode man. Felt like it went by in 30 seconds. As usual, perfect blend of action and dialogue. There’s never a dull moment in this series, the pacing is perfect, it’s just a rare breed.

The POV scenes during the Ubel fight are INSANE. UFO probably takes the cake for sustained fight scenes I.e salter Medusa, but in terms of the short bursts, Madhouse might have them matched. Got chills during that entire sequence. I LOVE how Übel wears the same face throughout every moment. She’s so unbothered lol. We need more of she and four eyes interacting.

Edel saw that shit the sense clone was on and just dipped out, she smart as hell for that lmao. Can always run it back again next exam or something.

Fern getting jealous over Methode hugging Frieren was so cute. She’s so protective of her master. Denken and the others waiting to come up with a plan to take on the Frieren clone is smart. Easily the strongest opponent possible so no such thing as being too careful.

“I may be able to kill Frieren” it would be so funny if the way to stop her is with a mimic 😂. Regardless, Fern masterclass on the way next week and I can’t wait. The student becomes the master n all that.

Nice fights, nice tactics, nice plot, but kinda too much talking. I would want to see this quest over, but it might end 1-2 episodes before season end..

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I love how jealous Fern gets when others get close to Frieren she is just so cute.
@Reecey91 Yes! It was so understated and subtle, yet so incredibly effective. I love this anime.

Now dying to see how powerful Fern can be going all out.

My first thought when Fern mentioned killing Frieren is to find a mimic and throw it inside for the copy to get caught in. That would be funny but pretty anticlimactic and kinda dumb.

So this is why Sense isnt going down alone either I assume.

I expected Fern to handle this, Frieren already said a while ago she casts magic so fast she could defeat her.

Animation is insanely good. Madhouse really is back.

It is for Madoka alone." - Homura

Lmao. Denken and the others didn't have a chance against fake Frieren. So they retreated. This also means we're not gonna see anyone fight that thing until the next episode. But I guess it's a bit more interesting that the actual Frieren and Fern got to see that thing and will fight it too.

Pretty ballsy of Fern to say she can kill Frieren. Even if it's the fake one. But I guess that's to be expected from a pupil who's set to surpass her master. It got me pumped ngl.

All the other fights in the episode were good too. Especially Ubel and Land fighting the fake Ubel. They have a weirdly good chemistry together.

Frieren discovering that hidden room was cool. I wonder if she'll receive some sort of prize for that even if she didn't pass the exam. She deserves it.

In what world is Fern set to surpass Frieren? Just on mana alone Fern could never come even close to Frieren. Sure she'll probably become the greatest human mage of her age but that won't come close to Frieren.

@StarZone1 frieren lost to 11 people who had less mana than her, some of them being humans. Mana amount is not everything

Having not read the manga my guess would be the Fern is Frieren's weakness. There's a soft spot which will cause the Clone to hesitate and that will give everyone the chance to take her out.

Frieren is one of the best anime I've ever seen. Each episode is just pure magic. This is one of the few anime that I feel happy to patiently wait for the next episode. Can't believe it's about to end.

The group to test takers have truly run into an obstacle in the form of a copy of Frieren. These things that can copy someone's abilities and strength completely are bad news, they know exactly what you would do in attack and defense situations. Frieren herself is already a problem but this replica of her isn't holding anything back. Staying at that position to stop anyone from advancing to complete the dungeon. Denken group is stuck here because of this which would be very frustrating, he just saw in the previous test that defeating Frieren isn't something just anyone can do. The fact that they sat there for half a day would be incredibly upsetting. Frieren taking her time with exploring the dungeon, finding every secret room, going above and beyond what she needs in this dungeon. Finally making her way to the bottom of the dungeon where Denken group had made no progress. Fern enthusiasm to go after Frieren is interesting and I'm excited to see her take on her master. The other mages trying their best to defeat their own copycat encounters with some copying more powerful mages than others.

The secret room part would be anime original. But it gave us no new information and it's not attractive at all. I don't get why anime team inserted it.
Current arc in manga is Northern Empire - biggest remains of Unify Empire. So we could see what ties Unify Empire had with Goddess of Creation
redicicles said:
@kuroneko99 I would guess maybe a tie-in with a future arc given where the party currently is in the manga.
As I'm not a keen fan of Frieren, I don't know the history of the story well. So I consulted with the Net and I found an interesting thing - chronological table. I'm not sure if it is correct, but it may be fun to make a simple table if you are an enthusiast.

So hyped expecting an all out war against Clone Frieren this episode but instead got buildup, Denken's group running away like rats and Frieren being hugged by onee-san Mage (Sein punching air right now).

Still an enjoyable episode tho. And here I was expecting Sense's clone to be a pacifist as well. Lol nope.

Fern is going in for the kill. Gotta love how she's stepping up Frieren looked so proud of her. I also love how Fern perked up when she saw the ancient ruins that Frieren found. Maybe she love to be an archeologist discovering ancient ruins with an ancient elf sounds like a great time.

Hilarious that Frieren is exciting about fighting herself, she's finally found a worthy opponent. It was also cool seeing the other teams battle with themselves or other mirror people.

So glad we have 4 more episodes to go.

Man, I like Land's clone magic; it looks so realistic, and it's just really cool.

I feel like everyone is going to meetup and group at the door, so all of them could fight the Frieren copy, or Fern, with the help of the others, will kill her.

Lol just when i thought Denken perhaps manage to find a way to fight Frieren by himself and his group. As soon as he saw that ton barrage of Zoltraak. Time to run, bitches!

Well at least those perfect Frieren replica only care about guarding those hall. So its safe for Denken and the gang to just wait for other parties to save their butts later. Then Frieren and the rest coming. Lmao that old man luck stat must be in his prime time....

Well back off a little to Ubel and Land part. They seems to enjoy their date, huh? Even under those stressing battle agains Ubel replica, they really enjoying themselves. Good good.

Alright, Fern seems have a plan, or rather, a scheme. Let's see if the student can defeat her master.

If you want a crazy girl. She's the one. 😏
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
