A very calming episode, at the same time a sad one. Stark's past hurts tbh. Having your own father call you a failure is hurtful. While your brother takes care of you, just proves your brother is the better person in the family.

Also why does Frieren have that potion. Bruh.

Surprised, Himmel couldn't pull out the hero's sword and Starks' past.

Watching Frienen wearing that white negligee on the bed with her perky behind pointing up while she's waving her foot around occasionally stopping might have awakened something in me.

Someone pls post a screenshot of that ASAP

In just one episode, this show dunks on the Big Three shounens and their child of prophecy protagonists. Himmel didn't draw the sword, but he still won it all in the end.

Also, nice Itachi cameo.

I'll never get tired of this alongside the magnificent backstories. I do wish Stark's was a bit more in depth, it went a bit too fast but whatever. It still had a lot of impact on me together with Frieren's memory. Fern's just getting better and better every episode even though her trust in Stark is getting worse in some way. He really is a kid. You could say the same about Frieren. Oh boy, the animation sequence in the bed was amazing and that smug face of hers.

The Frieren party moves ever onward north through this horrendous blizzard. Frieren herself collapsing in the snow, Fern being so adamant about carrying Frieren was funny. Her aversion to Stark most of the time always makes me laugh. Stark could be doing the most innocent thing but Fern just doesn't like it. Making their way to this village of the sword which guards the hero sword itself. Another great use of flashbacks in this episode showing us more of the hero's party. Himmel talking about his drive to be a hero even if its a fake one since he couldn't pull out the hero sword. Himmel was true on his words of defeating the demon Lord and becoming a hero anyway. Frieren reflecting on those times with the perspective she has now is always so well done. Great action moments with Stark and Fern fighting those giant wolf looking monsters in the snow. The little village leader girl was very cute in her interactions with Frieren, she better come back in another eighty years. Going to the next town for a bit of a rest since it's Stark birthday. Fern being worried about getting him a birthday present was very cute. She may act annoyed at him but they've grown close over their travels and she cares about Stark too. His immaturity aside he's A good guy, I'm glad we saw more of his childhood from even before he trained with Eisen. How his family didn't acknowledge him much except his older brother whom cared for Stark and told him to run and survive from that monster attack on their village. Stark has had a very painful life so far but now he's with friends eating giant Hamburg steaks like the mighty warriors they all are.

Warm, Sweet, Wonderful moment. Himmel is counterfeit, but not like the previous hero, he got the job done. And how we knew Stark's past is amazing. How his big bro take care of him and afterward Eisen treat him. I loved even this episode much much slower pace than battle episode in couple weeks ago

the reveal with himmel not taking out the sword felt a bit more dramatic in the manga and i preferred that because it took a min to sink in but the transition to the flashback was just way too smooth here lol but another great episode. more of fern and stark and i like how she still cares about him enough to wanna get him a present. the stuff with his brother was really nice as well.

This truly was a Stark centered episode. From the legend of Himmel the Hero not being able to pull the sword but still overcoming it by defeating the Demon Lord to realizing just how his master, his brother and now his companions cared about him on his birthday. It was a moment of growth balanced by Frieren's smug face with that rare ecchi potion and Fern's disdain for it with Stark not really knowing what was going on. Good stuff

So Stark was never a "coward" per se; his brother was the one who told him to run that day. Fantastic buildup for a future arc.

It's nice seeing Frieren show more emotion sometimes. I like how it takes a potion that dissolves clothes to get her giggly. Stark would've loved that gift.

Seems inevitable that stark try to pull the sword this season, when he feels he is worthy of doing it. Very touching ending also was caught off guard by that. Wonder if himmel came from the same village, since he had a white cloak also.

@Comander-07 Think she is more protective in a sense that she see's frieren as her mother/female figure in her life and would feel uncomfortable with anyone carrying/touching her.

Smug Frieren, now that I've seen it I need more of it. I hope the season is going to have another interesting arc like the demon one so the rest isn't just slice of like. While it's amazing right now I feel like the more suspenseful stuff helps to keep you engaged.
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
