Frieren Eps. 11-12 | Frauds of The Century
Added 2025-03-11 16:18:40 +0000 UTCIn the first episode we meet a strange elven monk and have a moment of religious clarity. In the second, we get more backstory about Fake-It-Till-You-Make-It King Himmel, and Stark's tragic backstory (TM).
Sorry for the lack of updates guys! I was sick and feeling generally pretty crappy for a lot of last month (seemingly just like everyone ever lol), but we're going to catch up! More reactions and videos coming very very soon. Thanks for your patience! 🖤

2025-03-13 16:28:44 +0000 UTCOf note, about Frieren restricting her mana shown while in the hero party. A few things are heavily implied in the manga (and the anime shows them too, but since you have to pause to observe more stuff, people miss those details more in the anime than the manga): 1- When Frieren began her training with Flamme, Flamme had Frieren restrict her mana shown to 1/10th of her total mana capacity at the time. 2- Then, while Flamme was alive, Frieren kept training her mana capacity, but kept the appearance of her mana capacity the same as when she started the mana restraint training, so by the time of Flamme's death, it was restrained to far less than 1/10 (it only looked like 1/10 of her amount from when she met Flamme). 3- As Frieren kept training her mana capacity for the next 1000 years, Frieren eventually started making her mana look even smaller than 1/10 of her amount from when she met Flamme. 4- So when Frieren met Himmel, Eisen and Heiter, Frieren's mana looked very small. This is why Heiter (who has a good quantity of mana for someone in his 20s) said that Frieren had only 1/5th of his mana. 5- For the first few years in the Hero's party, aka while they were still fighting demons within the Central Continent, Frieren showed the same amount of mana as when she was recruited into the party. This is why it was easy for her party members (such as Heiter) to figure out that she actually had much more mana than that, since she was still only showing a very small amount. 6- At some unknown point between the flashback from episode 11 with Heiter and the time Frieren started fighting in the Northern Continent and fought Aura for the first time, Frieren changed the amount of mana she was showing from very very little to about a century's worth of mana training. Frieren likely did this because it is actually more suspicious from a demon's point of view to see an elf mage with only a few years worth of combined mana training time, and less suspicious for the amount to be worth a 100 years of mana training. This is why Aura said in the previous episode that Frieren's mana hadn't changed since she had last seen her 80 years prior.

2025-03-13 03:10:55 +0000 UTCI love the detail that when Stark's brother went to help Stark with his posture he chose to do so while kneeling down in the mud, staining his pristine white cape a LOT in the process as we see it lay in the mud.

2025-03-13 03:05:50 +0000 UTCShe did treat them well. She didn't destroy the bodies of the people Aura took over. Sure, they were all already dead since their Aura cut their heads off so that there would be no chance of them breaking her spell with willpower (hence why she is known as the Guillotine). They were still moving and controlled after being dead due to the nature of the spell, which makes them into puppets until they turn to dust rather than under death. Hence why she called it her immortal army. But the point being made was about not desecrating their corpses by blowing them up. Instead, this time Frieren only used magic to dispel magic while evading their attacks. Of note, the reasons why Aura didn't stay moving like the bodies under her command are as follow: 1- Unlike humans, demon disintegrate after death. I imagine that if it was possible for her to bind demons after death the same way, she would've used undead demon mages in her troops. 2- The spell of control comes from Aura, not her scales (which are actually just her staff/spell focus, for it's her custom unique spell that she developed that does the controlling). So the moment she died, the spell became undone on both Aura and the rest of her army. Had any of the controlled people in her army still been alive when Aura died, they would have been freed, but since they were all already decapitated, being freed didn't give them back their lives.
