| Strategy and a flashy fight, with Frieren's fatal flaw revealed... Strategizing how to fight yourself is certainly an interesting concept, but they finally figured out what Frieren's weakness was, and that is her being unable to detect mana for a split second as she is casting a spell. A minor weakness, but it exists anyway. The fight against the Frieren clone was breathtaking, with great angles, and great colours as well. The flashback scene with Frieren and Serie was nice to see also. It's really nice to see flashbacks that actually mean something even when it cuts away during a fight. With just three episodes left, let's hope for a great end to this exam arc. |
| Wow. Crazy good. But the fight could have been a bit longer in my opinion! |

| This show doesn't drop off for a moment. Great stuff |
 |
 Oh, You're approaching me? Best Scene |
 |
| this is isekai fantasy should be !!! a masterpiece |
| We finally know what Frieren's major weakness is, which is that she stops detecting mana for a split second whenever she cast spells. The way that she looked rather embarrassed while admitting this was very cute. Still, it did help to speed up the plan of dealing with the clone, especially with Lawine and Kanne arriving at long last, with Lawine telling everyone about how her brother's squad explored the same dungeon, with most of his squad being killed off. In the end, Frieren and Fern would take on the Frieren clone, with everyone else staying behind to deal with the clones that're on their way to where their group is. I have to say, even though this has happened many time already, seeing a battle with this level of quality animation never ceases to amaze me. Frieren was also using strong spells against her own clone and the visuals effects of them were incredible. It also perfectly transitioned into another flashback with Frieren and Serie, shortly after Flamme passed away. Their conversation about how humans would learn and embrace magic was pretty fascinating and it shows how much things have changed within one thousand years. Serie also predicted that either a demon lord or a human mage would kill Frieren, but that didn't stop Frieren from looking on into the horizon, smiling, while hoping that there'll be many new spells to learn and practice with. After that, it transitioned back to the fight where Fern was able to shoot off her spell, successfully hitting the Frieren clone. Whether it that was enough to defeat the clone or not, we'll have the find out next week. =) |

| Not gonna lie, aside from Serie's reflecting upon Flamme's will, the strategy and the peak sakuga that came out of the fight, I really thought they'd pull a mimic to trap Frieren's replica. That'd have been so funny. |

| See, Zolo fans? That's what a one shot negg diff means and nothing of what the Gicci Kitty is dealing with your goat rn. |
| Fern this episode: "Nah, I'd win" |
| You know part of me thought they might use one of the gags as part of Frierens weakness but I'm so glad they didn't. It woulda be kinda dumb and cheapen the impact of this. They leave us with a bit of a cliffhanger as to whether the shot actually killed her. I'm very excited to see how the rest of this plays out. |
| Sousou no Frieren Episode 25 interesting conversation between Serie and Frieren. Unlike elves, who can live for almost an eternity, humans can only live for a short span of time. We must all make important decisions at some point in our lives, but due to the mortality of humanity, they cannot afford to delay them. We learned more about how amazing Flamme was, and how she paved the way to humanity's magic. She has genuinely loved magic since she was a child. She wanted to share the beauty of it with everyone, and she successfully achieved that dream of hers. It looks like Frieren is enjoying their time in the dungeon. She remembered how her party used to plan and tackle battles together. The animation of this episode is superb, especially the fight scene.  |
| Too much talking again ;o and if everyone from old party died in this same room then where are the remains of them? skeletons? items? the dungeon is so clean maybe spiegel hired some cleaning lady? :D Bad mistake from author. They could skip the whole planning time screentime LOL at Heiter ;d how he got to the dungeon like that ;d being moved around by Frieren ?;d How long that elves live in this anime? never heard of that they live more than 1k years here it seems like they are immortal, but then there are little of them? Who created this magic if even they have to study it from books? Will this anime end with Frieren being killed by Fern? as she will have to kill both real Frieren and copy? I mean too many hints have been given in this episode about death of Frieren.. and only 3 episodes left.. It seems unreal that Fern used that split second of time when the copy was casting spell.. and if they didn't show that she died this episode then she likely lives |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) 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 ;) |

So Heiter is pretty much a dead weight most of the time.
Frieren smiling reminiscing about her past adventures is very heartwarming.

| @Mainnus I absolutely died seeing Heiter :D Dude's passed out grey XD Lord What an insane episode. One of my absolute favorite episodes!  Delivers one of the best lines "Nobody knows how dangerous I am better than me"  Fern gets shit done! |
GripeEnthusiast said: Very happy with this episode. The first half is largely just Frieren and company strategizing on how to beat the replica. Though the fight with the replica isn't too exciting, it's accompanied by Serie's first real scene. Which is the highlight of the episode for me. You really see the clash of philosophy between Serie and Frieren. Serie is worried about one day being surpassed by another mage. Seeing magic as power. While Frieren is excited that putting magic in the hands of so many people, will only expand magic to strange and wonderous new places. It really makes me want to see how their next interaction will go, presumably at the end of this season. it's really interesting too, if you think about certain aspects. Frieren collecting mundane spells, like object finding spells, etc. Because those were probably created by humans, those are practical spells , made to make things easier and faster, elf's being almost eternal beings probably don't care to create such spells, magic probably evolved in a very specific way just by being handled by humans... like the flower bed spell, an elf probably would wait to find such a field/ or for the flowers to bloom, but a human does not have that time. It just shows how Frieren was never as apathetic as she seems, she just never considered time that well, I swear the character development is flawless in this anime. |

| Seems I'm the only one who sees this fight as a disrespect to Frieren with all the build up they showed us about her from Episode 1 and here we see little to no conflict in the fight that ended with a one tap. I was hoping for exciting moments like in Episode 10 with Aura |
 |
| Oh I loved this episode so much. The flashbacks were all perfectly used, and getting more backstory for Frieren, Flamme, and Serie was great. Some great animation in the fight against the mimic, and the exam party collaborating had some great moments (including some great Frieren reaction faces0. Fern being the one to get Frieren makes total thematic and narrative sense, and just to hammer home the point, we get Serie's ominous "if someone kills you it will be either the Demon King or a human mage" Great episode, one of the best in a series with an impossibly high bar. Excited to see next weeks episode. |
| The flashback was very much needed, it cleared a lot of confusion some of us had. The fight left me speechless, that's how good it is, even though it was short, the animation of it was downright insane. I kept watching it again and again. Madhouse cooked. Actual cinema. |
| So it' not using MIMIC lol Fern: NAH I'D WIN!! Bruhh that cliffhanger made me scream: FCK OFF!!!! |
 |
| Little Flamme being cute as hell! |

Reply to removed-user
I do wonder how Frieren caught Laufen when she stops detecting mana while casting tho. Unless it was purely by reflex/ the spell she cast was too low level to disable her detection
| @FoodstampDayo This gap lasts literally a second and the spell she wanted to "kill" Denken was already in the form and waiting to be fired. |
| Fern has conquered the impossible and will accomplish more things in her life. |
| So, Frieren is not only a chthonic “monster” whose strength is monstrous, she literally lived even before the formation of human civilization and was even glad that she lived to fulfill the formal prophecy of another ancient elf that someday only a human could kill her? Whoa. @AlexGK @i_want_to_escape I miss the days when comical bash brothers characters didn't get instant labels about their sexuality. I can't imagine what these two girls have to do right now without people interpreting it in a certain direction. |
