This episode was soo good it gave me shivers. The animation is pure eye candy as usual, especially with the magic effects during the battle.

The only ones who managed to make Frieren go all out are the Demon King and Fern. That firmly puts Fern far higher than first-class.

Übel is also a fucking amazing character. It’s like she was specced specifically to be perfect for this magic system. Her imagination has no limits and she isn’t bound by inconveniences like “morality.” She’s actually terrifying.

I like the rock-paper-scissors analogy. Considering how many variables are at play in combat, there is simply no straightforward way to rank two mages beyond superficial stats.

ngl I feel like I would also get caught by mimics all the time but unlike Frieren I’d actually die
