lmao Ubel/Land is less a ship at this point and more just text. Poor Stark, being bullied even when he's done nothing wrong.

The first half of this chapter feels very out of place, like it was shoehorned in to capitalize on the anime. Glad to see some characters coming back though, and this is an interesting setup for the next big arc.

It was a very sweet moment when Frieren was smiling at Stark not denying he could wreck them close range. She's proud of his development.  panko posted:the virgin stark thinking he’d be cut to pieces by sense / the chad ubel believing she could slice serie I'm kinda curious, could Stark beat mages by utilizing Ubel's weaponized stupidity technique? Like, magic in this world is based heavily on belief/visualization, which is how Ubel is such a deadly match against stuff like Sense's hair based attacks, but Stark barely knows anything about magic, so could he cut through stuff like Sense's hair or that one dude's magic cloak using the same principle of "well duh, of course an axe can cut through that"

Helps when you can already cleave through mountains too. Though I always half-assume that warriors are basically physical mages in a lot of these stories where they can keep up to degrees as superhumans.

I can't tell if the dialogue is incredibly stiff due to the translation or they just talk like that.

That said warriors clearly have something going on under the hood because Stark is "a normal human" who took a demon's axe blow to the torso and it barely cut him at all.

I'm really enjoying all these mage exam characters coming back. I think the mage exam did a well enough job establishing all of them and seeing them come back and have payoff has been really quite fun. Doubly so since the anime is right in the thick of it. So far we've seen Methode and Genau, Denken (Laufen should have been there too), and now Ubel, Land, and Sense (and that other guy who drank tea with Genau once). Super excited to see characters like Wirbel and his gang come back, as well as Kanne and Lawine.

I wonder why the (presumably) Shadow Warriors are the ones that want to hit Serie. Last chapter we only just found out that Frieren is supposed to be the last one on their list.

I think it's more that the Empire uses shadow warriors, shadow warriors would stand a reasonable chance of killing a monster of a mage, and the Empire is implied to want her gone but she's a notorious recluse so there'd be little point putting her on a list of travellers to assassinate on the hush hush So basically, its not that the shadow warriors don't have a hit out on Serie, more that that particular detachment stood no realistic chance of running into her so why put her on the ostensibly completable list

I'm glad they're kind of filling in the lore here and making the world make sense. Way back from the Aura arc I wondered why any party needed warriors anyway. It seemed like two Frierens, two Ferns, and a Heiter would've been able to take down anything.

You need someone who can tank hits that would leave other members as red smears so that way everyone else can do their job.

yeah warriors are canonically really op, that's been shown many times a lot of people (in other places) were upset at the notion that the shadow warrior guy might be capable of killing frieren, absent the intervention of her party members. but frieren without all her fancy magic is basically just a relatively frail tiny elf. She stands no chance in a knife fight with the kind of person that can smash a giant rent in a cliff with an axe swing or survive getting hit by building-size monsters with little inconvenience sharkmafia fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Feb 28, 2024 |

They aren't here to kill Serie; they're here to kill Frieren. Serie just heard it through the grapevine that the elf they'd been waiting to kill for forever finally showed up and naturally assumed they were talking about her.

Yeah in the past Arc Rivale struck me as the most dangerous of the Greater Demons attacking and he’s supposed to be the greatest Demon Warrior. Would not be shocked if his personal Demon Magic was like an anti magic field so he has to be fought as a warrior.

Everything coming up LostRook theory-wise.RatHat posted:Maybe it’s just me but it feels like Land won’t survive this arc I think Serie is the most in danger. tbp posted:yeah. there's also additional bits like when they fought grisaum. frieren is 100% unequivocally unable to fight back against him because of her constant mana usage and awareness, himmel is able to fight while literally mentally in another realm because his physical senses are heightened to the extreme Which makes Grausam showing up here a strong possibility. He represents the greatest threat to the unparalleled mage. What information could he have gleaned from Frieren's mind that actually matters? The existence of Serie the head of the Continental Magic Association seems like a possibility. Based on characters we've seen thus far my guess for most likely to be Grausam in disguise is Falsch, the first-class mage with glasses, for no reason other than having a name meaning false though I admit it's rather flimsy.

My pet theory is that there's a martial arts system comparable to the magic system that's never just been brought up or explored because the majority of the party has always been magic-focused. It'll be a payoff for the "wandering masters stopping by to teach Stark" cutaway gags.
