If I could summarize this episode in a sentence, it would be:

Satisfying, but not totally satisfied.

Still wait for a week to conclude this arc, huh?

It's really good episode, but you already know they will win. So when the episode is preparing theirs came back, you are already waiting that to happen, not much of a surprise. That said, what a great episode

@Lin009 well you thought wrong, it's neither a battle shounen nor a meditation on time and immortality. It's just a good fantasy
@billybub I can't even really say that Frieren has impressed me as a fantasy series either. It hasn't introduced any interesting themes or elements that separates it from some of the other fantasy series I have watched. Made in Abyss for example is a harrowing adventure series about the human condition and inspite of losing ones human form the love and connection the characters form with one another don't ever really die. I just wished Frieren had more harrowing stakes and consequences for the characters decisions. I have no fear Frieren will lose or be set back significantly. She's survived 1000 years up to now at the very least.

If anything, atleast Lugner realised and recalled who Frieren was, I mean it’d have been a waste if he died without knowing after all. As for the adjectives used with her name, it seems like every demon out in the town shares the same sentiment and views, you see Aura knows it quite well too.

Liked how Frieren just jumped in front of Aura’s undead army, and started obliterating them, as she might have done all those 80 years ago. Though Aura’s scale of obedience could be tricky, but it doesn’t mean fuck to Frieren, as the army is undead, and morever like she stated herself, as there’s no Himmel this time around, she could take her time and pleasure to out Aura to her place, once and for all.

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS how Fern just ripped that piece of cloth from her attire which Stark touched and threw it some kilometres away… she’s so harsh to Stark:((( It could mean something else too, but this way it was comedy gold, without even intending.

We were waiting for Frieren vs Aura, but that’s for later in its full extent, as Fern against Lugner took the complete cake this time around. Visual spectacle it was already, but the music in the background complimented a LOT too. Fern, with her monstrous powers, had a literal demon in shambles.

Stark again with his never say die. He might not be as powerful as Frieren or Fern but he’s in his own league too. Goodbye girl, nobody would remember you, and you too, Lugner:)

not sure what you mean, it was obviously because she realized the blood could track them. nicely illustrated when when then looks at the blood on his arms, does not comment, but then touches the blood on his jacket and points out there is magic in it. just like on her robe.
It has nothing to do with Stark.
But yes, the implied comedy is fantastic.

Fern is behind them in everything except speed but she overwhelemed him with sheer speed. That was legit amazing.
@ArimaKana i think it's also important to consider that, because her magic is specialized for demon killing, the difference in magic power is likely either canceled out, or actually a net positive for fern. I'm pretty sure Lügner underestimated even that difference.
combine that with the fact that magic is so freaking lethal, her speed advantage is actually undersold quite heavily.

Lugner realizing that it's Frieren who spearheaded the development of humanity learning Zoltraak, it just made his heart boil all the more on top of his despise for geniuses.

Graf Granat realizing that Frieren was right all along, he knew her from the Hero Part which the Granat town had faced against Aura once before with her undead army. Most importantly, her Scales of Obedience basically puts her into total advantage against her oppressors, though those like Graf who has strong magic can resist her will being strong-willed. If Himmel was alive, he would've scolded her, but since he has long past, Frieren can go unhinged like she wanted to, but that Fern and Stark also needed her to confront Lugner.

With the family emblem, Stark could've controlled the people, but with the demon blood having mana, both Lugner and Linie one-upped against their defenses, landing a fatal blow to Fern. As Stark faces Linie, Fern is left with Lugner for the revenge attack, though he is hasty about killing her before he even gets a chance to see Frieren. Just as Lugner had travelled to perfect his magic, so does Fern through Frieren, and they're even, as Linie has already wrapped up hers with Stark. Fern's persistence could spell the end of Lugner, while Stark is just going through the motions of pumping out attacks learnt by Eisen, that for Linie, is easy to read. But for Stark, they're just cheap imitations that in one fell swoop, defeated Linie, and Lugner got distracted for a moment to have Fern use Zoltraak against him, that's kills registered.

Flawless action, delivered to the max.

Absolutely fantastic fight between Stark and Lilie as well as the one between Ferna and the other demon. That was some mad direction and animation. All of the blows had impact not only in power but emotion and even though their face expression don't show much you could cut the tension with a kitchen knife based the way each character approached it.

Both of them in conjunction must now be nominated for the CR awards, right?... right?

There should be an award there's an episode that's not emotional. Stark getting back up got to me. Usopp was also my favorite character in One Piece so these kinds of things get to me i guess.

Also just so many beautiful cuts, Fern against not-Johan and the mini fight between Frieren and the army. Even Stark putting on his jacket has this great character acting to it (i promise im not just some raving Stark fanboy these are coincidence lmao)

8:52 daaaamn this clothing animation. 10:43 Here too. They really went all-out on clothes this episode.
16:00 Does Balterie mean anything? All names in this have been in German so far but the translator doesn't bring up anything.
21:45 Erfassen means "capture" apparently.
22:21 Had to rewind this to see that Stark actually slashed her. I wish there was a slash sound. But still this is epic af
This is definitely top 5 most well-animated anime this year.
@Embient the official subs are for "Balterie" are Bluterei, which is a word between the Bleeding and haemorrhaging, like Hurerei is something between whoredom and prostitution. Common usage would be "Diese ganze Bluterei verschmutzt den Boden", which would translate to "All this bleeding soils the floor". "Erfassen" can have two meanings, to target something (in the sense of locking on) or to recognize/grasp something.

Lugner's inner monologue where he's trying to convince himself that he's stronger than Fern as he's actively losing was an interesting perspective to see during their battle
While it can come across as Lugner just being arrogant and naïve, I think they might be trying to emphasize Frieren's initial point that demons are one-track minded beasts

The Seven Sages of Destruction and Aura facing against the main trio. Lugner and Linie couldn't keep up in the end, Fren used magic designed against demons so she got a smooth win while Sturk remained robust even after taking major damage. The fights are pure spectacle, amazing animation direction as I was expecting at this point

Ah another astonishing visual coming from Madhouse, this is such a great serve, lovin this action-filled episode. Especially since its not everyday you see Fern doing all those magic action alone without her master. Yes, she finally manage to overcome all the underestimating matter, and blow the shit out of those arrogant Lugner body without mistake like before. Say what, Lugner? Wanna go to Frieren? Meh, you can't even protect yourself from a little girl killing magic. You such a dissapointment, blood demon....

Same as those demon girl. She imitate the wrong person honestly. Eisen even afraid of Stark power. Here she was, trying to act tough with the dwarf moves, only to get sliced up by the same Stark move when he's slaying the red dragon before. Pure treat, this is a wow to me!

Now I like it, after very boring first 5-6 episodes it gets way better now in the last two episodes and this one is great.
I am surprised by how strong Fern is and how she fights for real. I wonder how she blocked that first attack or healed her wound it was close to hearth...
and Stark had nice evolution, but he could have some armor.. a warrior should have some armor maybe magical.. didn't this dragon have any magical things? that was a waste for the story

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 wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)
