| The beginning of the today's episode had some very talented animators working on it. They can easily show their style in such fluid matters. This was so beautiful in every possible way. We've also got to know how absurd Ubel's thought process is. Sadly did not see any of the fights between Ferns replica or Denken. That would have been lit. But craziest part was surely Frierens replica using that kind of gravity attack against Fern. Her hair downwards is PEAK. |

Oh damn, I actually thought that the fight ended last episode. Nice!
This looks so beautiful wtf. There's literally a black hole.
Lawine and Richter noooo
8:23 Reelseiden isn't a real word. Maybe a combination or something.
9:48 Burg is castle
Ohhhhh, interesting. So magic is actually OP as hell, as in if you believe that you can defeat someone, you will. But common sense limits this. By this logic, crazy people would be the most dangerous of all. Does this make Übel crazy? idk. Really cool flashback.
No waaay, they can return.
20:22 "I don't recognize this attack as magic" I guess this supports what Sense said. "Recognizing", or being sure of/believing something is really important in magic.
A mimic, of course XD
Now (almost) everyone's a First-Class Mage! Thankfully no one died. To think that all this was just to be able to travel somewhere.
WAIT HOLUP THERE IS A THIRD EXAM. There are only 2 episodes left, so I guess it will be short.
Absolutely beautiful episode. They never miss.

| @Embient reel means "reel", seiden means "silk" but you do not combine these to word to Reelseiden. The proper word is Rollenseide. |

| Übel is an anomaly Her magic is non-newtonian, the realm of logic and apparent reality does not restrain it. Her magic completely disregards anything of that sort. It's purely feelings-dependent. She already can copy other mage's spells as long as she can empathize with them. And now it turns out her cleaving magic, Reelseiden also has that illogical trait. As long as she can visualize herself cutting her target, it doesn't matter if it's a condensed layer of impenetrable shields, if she thinks she can cut it, she could. If she maintains an extreme level of narcissism and ego, she could convince herself to cut through anything. Theoretically, it's possible for her to gaslit herself enough to believe she could cut the fabrics of reality. Übel's magic and her personality will guarantee her to be a prominent figure in the future. Honestly, she can ruin me. Also what kind of a dumbass put themselves in harm's way. That 1st class mage proctor in the last exam had it coming. Bro was so deluded in his impenetrable defence to not take into account magic that bypassed the realms of cold calculated logic. The continuation of Frieren & Fern vs Replica Clone Frieren! The animation was fluid, the visuals were flashy and vibrant, the OST was eargasmic and the sound effects were a considerable step up with more explosions and booms. The depiction of the Replica Clone Frieren as a nigh undefeatable opponent. Even after attacking it during its vulnerable window, it could still stand. And yet again, even after it lost both of its arms, it's still capable of utilizing some sort of emergency spell to push its opponent away from it. The height of magic is a befitting title for this episode's display of magic. This just made me even more curious to witness Frieren going all out and unleashing the culmination of a millennia-long training. This is but a glimpse of the supremacy she alone offers. The gaze that the clone made in this scene is giving off cold murderous Frieren the slayer vibe 🥶🥶🥶  |

| So this is the pinnacle of anime❤️ |
| The difference in power made me laugh tho Average second class mage. Small strong spells Frieren and her replica. Summon flames of hell the size of a building. Shit more insane than late game jrpg spells. No wonder the hero party won. Frieren isn t a 1 man army. She's a 1 man universe Then fern incoming with a machine gun that makes stark from bleach (name pun not intended) look like a newbie  We've seen cute frieren, but seems hawt af frieren is also a thing. Seems her just releasing mana is enough to beat 1 of the strongest human mages lol I am kinda annoyed we didnt see fern's replicate fight tho, shouldnt been awesome. Not sure how i feel about the ''comedy'' at the end, but seeing all the mimic chests opened, oh frie-chan |

| after the terrible news of Toriyamas death, Frieren making my day better |
 |
| Lol that last shot in the treasure room with Frieren and Fern had 2 other mimics that were already opened and dead, meaning that in the short time frame before the group arrive, Frieren got trapped AT LEAST by THREE mimics in quick succession. No wonder Fern is getting fed up with helping her LMAO. Also Sense never let anyone successfully pass her tests before, but this time around it seems that 12 mages out of 18 passed, so that's a pretty impressively good ratio I'd say. I'd bet that whoever is in charge of the last test isn't expecting that kind of numbers. |

- The animation of the battle between Frieren vs Frieren clone is kind of too abstract, especially at the beginning of the episode.
- There was no explanation for the magic Frieren clone used against Fern at the end of the battle. gravity control?
| @kuroneko99 Its the pinnacle of magic which is still not explained fully in the manga, but as Fern explained, it couldnt be "recognized" as a spell at all and is not something mages can do. (its called exposition) About the animation, she was creating blackholes, and other shit, ofcourse its abstract. |

| @felixsifuri if s2 is announced it will be more peak then whole s1 |
Reply to LeoDrago
Where to start? Animation? Perfect. Fight? Perfect. Music? Legendary.
Literally might be peak of S1 here. And the fact that we just got indirect confirmation that Fern is as strong as the demon king.

| @LeoDrago Nope Fern is no where near the demon king lol. She got the attack due to a large opening by Frieren and its something which only Frieren uses when "forced" or pushed to a corner. Its her Apex it seems. So yeh. |

| Wow, this was an incredible episode. Loved everything about it. |

I like how anime add so much fight scenes compare to manga counterpart, like how Demon Slayer / Jujutsu add combat scene to make the show more exciting to watch than the source.
However, changing the combat choreography to this degree, coming up so many stuffs that didn't exist in the source create some inconsistency from the early part of the story.
Like , when fighting the dragon, if Frieren can summon huge Golem, she could have use this as sheer physical impact to easily beat the Dragon, but instead she treated as if Dragon is a threat to her because it has very high magic resistance.
Against Aura, if she can fight like that, she didn't need to wait for Aura to use the Scale of Obedience and just instantly kill her with magic.
I think the manga source is pretty contained when it comes to Frieren's capability, but in anime they kinda went overboard a bit for how ridiculous Frieren can be, making the early part of the story feel like Frieren was acting all this time in every fight scenes.

| @Ventus_S you may be right but this will probably be a problem next season if the production quality is not maintained. As for the dragon and Aura: -The spells shown in the manga could easily kill the Dragon, but Frieren wanted to let Stark prove himself. -During the fight with Aura, Frieren says that last time she used a lot of destructive spells and Himmel was angry with her because she did not respect the bodies of the fallen knights, so this time she decided to choose a different method. |

| @Danpmss you guys don't roll your r's when saying her name? English is not my native language so I can't imagine people pronouncing her name any differently than it originally is. Feels like such a tongue workout. |
|
| OMG... Frieren is way more terrifying than I think I could have ever imagined. It makes you realize every fight we have seen up to this point was practically her using her pinky finger. Frieren just became a lot more intimidating to me than she already was. I feel like if Denken and his team had seen that fight, they probably would have been crying and thankful they didn't try to fight that clone head on XD. On a side note, is Fern going to get a new staff? Her current one shattered into pieces. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| Only Frieren can pull off the same joke again and again and make me laugh like a mad man. She went for the mimic strat. I swear she better get a mimic win at the very end of the series. In all seriousness this episode was such a banger. Literally; explosions were everywhere the animation was popping off. Everyone got to battle. I'd only wish we got to see the fake Fern fight that lady. Looks like she stood her ground and I would have killed to see that fight. As always can't wait to see the next episode. |
| This ep was amazing. I'm rating this anime a 10/10 when it's over, though I wish it wouldn't end!!! Wonder how the third exam will only be two eps tho |
 |
| Just FOKIN 'ELL. The manga did show it, but damn those animators know what they're doing. |
| In a world without love, death means nothing. |
| woah i found it very funny Richter said "Who are you?" anyway action wise this was as enjoyable as jujutsu kaisen like some scene i had repeat just to get a good shot of the animation by far the best animated episode in this series |
 |
| Ok so if Frieren is THAT strong why was she unable to kill that dragon easily and needed Stark's help? Thats the only thing that is bugging me on the show so far, other than that 10/10 episode and series 100%, Madhouse is INSANE |
