This is a good manga, I'll definitely keep tabs on it. Frieran's a great character Catpetter1981 posted:I'm amazed that all those villagers just continued staying at the village right next to the deadly demon for so many years, especially when they knew that the seal was slowly eroding with time. They didn't even build a containment chamber around him and just left him out in the open meadow like that, within walking distance of the village. Hiemmel did keep coming every year and was confident Frieran would come by and put a stop to him before hte seal broke so its fiiiine. Paracelsus posted:For another example of well-done heavy-hitting end-of-the-heroes'-journey stories, you might also try Yuusha Goikkou no Kaerimichi, a one-shot that's also one of the highest-rated manga on mangadex. This is also very good though I didn't quite cop to the exact twist until the brother showed up. I was thinking a different variant on this something like the 3 were dead and somehow sticking around (as ghosts?) but Nina didnt know and they wanted to last with her on the way home

maybe this 3 arc spread of demon biotruths will be the worst of it and we'll all look back on it and go "well that was weird" *next arc, frieran talks about the dirty dark skinned evil foreigners* oh noooooooo

golden bubble posted:Our first introduction to demons has them portrayed as inhuman sociopaths that cannot comprehend the meaning of family, friendship, and trust. Now it appears they are just rear end in a top hat wizard bigots, no different from any other human arrogant wizard except in their politeness. killing others or being killed: ho hum whatever, who cares, just put out some basic weasel words hiding your magic aura: this is hosed up, you're hosed up, what the gently caress

I'm guessing we're not going to get any like...sudden swerves, nuances or major changing details about the demons or anything. I think they're just meant to be a spoooooky jrpg enemy, with bio truths looming omionusly overhead which, at best, was just something not thought through at all.

All the people he "kills", that is the ones who attack him directly, get turned to gold too right? I wonder if that process getting undone would heal you up any (

So this whole flashback sequence is reall doubling down on Macht's earnest desire to learn the guilt & malice emotions, and we know he willingly worked with the king for long before the subjugation bracelet was placed on him Did the king put that specific condition on the bracelet, aside from just sort of soft reassurance to the rest of the kingdom, as some weird thing of like...believing that one day he'd understand those emotions and thus avoid them? Basically a way of stating that you will understand. Or something to that effect.

imo the hand sequence shows there was mutual fondness for both of them, Gluck seemed surprised Macht bothered with the gesture at all. & he really didn't have a reason to bother with lighting his last cigarette at that point. Macht'd probably just handwave it as just going through the motions but it's easy to read as actual fondness. Same with that last smile.

Grouchio posted:Macht only lives because Serie got bored. That panel where she reflects it and gives that poo poo eating grin is probably one of the best in the series lol. Just "OHHHH YO UFUCKED UP REAL BAD NOW" I like how her reversal magic kind of works like whatshername's Cutting magic: the specifics of how it works doesnt matter, so long as it can cut (or detect a curse, in this case), it'll cut (reverse it). I think Serie liked that one in particular Also that big grin stands out a lot in this, the manga where most emotion is expressed through simple smiles

Scallop Eyes posted:Fights are definitely not this manga's strong point, so I hope this ends quickly. Some of his mannerisms after she breaks the barrier definitely seem to read he's already feeling annoyed at Solitar for doing this, so feeling malice towards her feels on the table.

Everyone in this manga is a freak of nature, i love it. The gang powering through solitar's bullshit, shattering the unshatterable barrier, freiran decursing herself while frozen, the priest using a spell so you dont need to eat or breathe for 2 months, the worksDonkringel posted:I wonder if Macht will turn on Solitar because he wants his gold magic to be reversed. It would be fun if it was an act of active Malice, thus killing him

The pages where everything de-golds and Macht looks in shock was super good, all the gold flakes basically screams "this will be the big sakuga scene in an anime" lol Also fun to contrast the end of the Denken fight vs Frieren's. Macht didn't understand Malice in the end, but there's a lot of nice melancholy, and I think it's easy to read with some of his prior behavior that it's probably a little mutual; meanwhile Solitar being the same little poo poo right to the end. We might get a little bit more next chapter since Macht is still in the process of disintegrating, so I wonder if we'll get a little bow on that.

By the way, I highly suggest rereading the Macht flashback (90-93) in addition 101; aside from a nice reminder of their history together, there's just lots of little lines that I think have more weight now that the fight's over. And fun things like this!  and a reminder that Gluck was only turned to Gold with everyone else; he wasn't shattered or anything. Considering how he kept saying he'd follow Macht into hell, and how much he liked Denken, wouldn't surprise me if we get something out of him so he gives himself up to save him while getting one last conversation with Macht

Gluck will kill Denken before Macht fades away, which will finally gets Macht to feel Malice.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Well that seals it. Macht clearly exhibited a lot of emotions here. He felt no malice, but the entire chapter is built with sympathy towards Macht and his little personal sadness and revelations. A lot of the arc has, really. RuBisCO posted:Gluck took exactly two looks at the situation before calling for Macht to be obliterated. Stone cold. hey now that's not fair, he was picking up what macht was putting down. which in this case was being put down

POV you are a random townsperson who wasn't even aware they've been gold for decades: -macht with a hole blasted in his heart walking away bloody and beaten -Denken ALSO bloody & beaten on the floor --and he's OLD??? -there's a giant golem somewhere else in the middle of town with its sword slammed into the ground -MULTIPLE impaled bodies from people trying to get into el dorado and fighting macht -That then plop to the ground since the spikes were also gold
