If Frieren loves old junk like that, just imagine how she'll react if she was taken to a massive antiques store. It'll be comparable to a kid going to a sweets store! XD

The dungeon exploring was really fascinating, seeing how differently some people take to their approach of dealing with this 2nd exam test. Once again, I think Denken is playing really smart by being part of a larger group, although I'm hoping that both Kamme and Lawine can do well together.

Frieren's love of exploring a dungeon is thanks to Himmel once more, after showing her how more fun and satisfying it is to explore each floor fully before moving on. It does have that feel of a JRPG, where you want to explore as much of an area as you can for any hidden chests or secrets before moving onto the next area, so just like with Fern, it made me smile, too.

That said, this exam is starting to show its ruthlessness. Denken's group went down one member after letting her guard down and being separated, although I do respect Denken for calling out to her to use her emergency escape golem, which worked like a treat. Not only that, but facing mud clones of themselves also proveed to be a tough battle. However, that battle will look like an easy cakewalk compared to his group now having to battle a clone of Frieren herself, which felt fitting for a cliffhanger ending while the soundtrack goes into epic mode.

It does set up the next episode to being a juicy one. Even though it's a 4v1, Denken's group is going to have a REALLY difficult time dealing with this Frieren clone, so I highly look forward to seeing how his group gets on next time.

A clone Frieren is dangerous or not?
@SenseiSempai-san Against a mimic she wouldn't have any chance that is for sure.

Finally caught up with the latest episode. Not as action packed so far, but glad that the flashbacks are there regarding Himmel's attitude towards dungeons.

This dungeon test reminds me of the dungeon raids in Magi.

Seeing Frieren enjoying the objects she has gathered is such a joy to watch.

The coöperation idea is a good one, except it would makes things so so and predictable.

I wonder if Sense is that girl that bloke was trying to impress.

Frieren always smiled whenever she recalled her memories with Himmel. I love that. ♡

Sense definitely made the right decision by joining Frieren and Fern. Denken's team also seems to have great abilities, though one has already failed due to bad luck. I feel kind of bad for her...

I agree that teaming up is a pretty wise decision and can make the mission easier, but I also agree with the guy who said that it's risky and there's a possibility of being used and then discarded. In the end, it all comes down to skill and luck.

Ubel seems to be going with Land... or more like, following him, lol. We haven't seen the two of them yet. But before that... oh my, oh my, Denken's team has to fight against "Frieren" first. The action scenes were really cool btw!

This dungeon, aside from the physical traps, is really filled with mimic-class monsters. From gargoyles to trunk/chest mimics, it also has pseudo-doppelganger guardians which takes a snapshot of every challenger that comes in. Denken's party took the bad draw of the gacha because they are pinned against the pseudo-doppelganger of Frieren and the dungeon knows that against Denken's party (members are all top-notch), Frieren herself is the ultimate form it can take to take each of them down (the dungeon can also use the memory of who it copies as it seems). We'll see how worst-case scenario it will be if Frieren becomes a Demon Lord.

PS: That BGM when the Frieren-doppel came in was epic. It's like when a boss battle starts in as Souls game

Good setup had me thinking it's all mirror matches. Then the devastating switch up reveal.

Teams might need to rethink their stance on working together now.

The Fern might be a challenge for some group too.

This episode is awesome and all but it still baffles me how those mages chose to go alone, all of them should work together, the old man is the rational one in the whole group.
@xZabuzax Well... Then won't they get through the dungeon easily and this arc wouldn't have exist? Now where's the fun in that? It's a good thing they separated so we could see more viewpoints on what each character's are facing!

Yeaaaah once I saw the first clones be made I thought wtf was gonna happen with a Frieren clone. I was expecting each group would have to fight their own copies, but it seems there is more intent behind whatever is making them. Perhaps this means there won't also be a clone of the test runner cause that seems a little unfair to most of the test takers lol. If Dunken and pals happen to whip up a mimic they should be able to get by just fine tho lmao.

It's the return of Mimic-chan! Gotta love that it scored in the top ranks of the manga's popularity poll. And that it has its own plushie version with Frieren's legs sticking out, super cute! lol

They haven't been shying away from Denken at all, so I'm hoping that we'll get at least a follow-up movie in the next year or two that covers his personal reasons for even going through all of this. It's a very good arc.

The scariest part of fighting a Frieren clone is what Denken said before - she might even have the memories of the original. Which means the clone is not just as powerful, but also as clever as the original. And Frieren has over 1000 years and a whole campaign against a Demon King worth of experience. Denken's group are in for one hell of a fight. I'm hoping they come out victorious, but if what Denken said is true, their chances are slim. Then again, Frieren said it herself during the fight with Aura - she'd succumb to mass onslaught. So if they play their cards right and overwhelm her from all sides, they might stand a chance. Very, very excited for the next episode.

me to Denken and his group: And you alright ? Can you hear me? ♪♫

When I saw Copy-ren, I knew it was over for him and the group. She literally has her own boss music. Might as well break them bottles to get tf outta there as soon as possible. Ain't no way they can handle her.

Excited to know how they would deal with her next episode.

That conversation between Fern and Sense shows you that what Frieren has became to Fern, is basically the same dynamic as what Himmel inspired to Frieren.
It just reinforces Himmel status as the GOAT.
This is brillant writing. Himmel's influence keeps radiating through the characters and I feel like it's what makes him a Hero, more than defeating the Demon King.
I think there are people like that in everyday life and we realize their positive influence once they're gone...

As a J-RPG fan, I think Frieren recalled me of J-RPGs more than any isekai trying to blatantly throw stats and game mechanics.
Just sublte references of dungeon completion, gacha Mimics, MP (Frieren), Energy Recharge/Cooldown time (Fern), even that magic map...

Anime of the DECADE undoubtedly
