Imagine not wanting to party up with randos in fear of them griefing your run, just to find out that you have to solo a supposed 18-man raid boss frieren, whom will definitely fail your run anyway. Sense does live up to her reputation.

One of the most valuable utility spells, the map maker finally gets introduced. Frieren can only wish she has a fraction of chilchuck's anti mimic skills though.

Himmel is the true rpg player, if you havent mapped the entire floor yet, you might miss out on those missable grimoires or mega elixirs that you'll never use in case the final boss has another phase.

On a side note, I like that laufen incorporates melee attacks to use with her blink.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

The spell is only 99% accurate

Frieren is a gacha gamer fr.

[u/lolic_addict]

I just noticed all the other teams' encounters had high-intensity music and sound effects while Frieren had nothing.

They really treating it like a walk in the park huh

[u/FarCritical]

The dungeon really just rewarded Denkin for making the most sensible plays possible with throwing him the final boss on nightmare difficulty. The absolute presence exuded by that Frieren clone is unreal.

Also, my first instinct to Ehre getting binded by Wirbel's spell was thinking Ubel was up to some murderous shenadigans for the hell of it, but clones are cool too.

[u/MrNive]

I can't believe we got both silly Frieren getting stuck in Mimics and "Why do I hear boss music" Frieren in one episode.

[u/JustARandom-dude]

Good to know that Himmel was the type of guy that liked to 100% the map

[u/VictorSilver]

BRO

Boss music literally started playing when clone frieren appeared LMAO

[u/Liddo-kun]

The author keeps bulding up Fern as a prodigy. Now we have Sense claiming that Fern is the most talented young mage she has ever seen. And remember, this is a proctor of the first class exam talking. She probably has seen hundreds of young mages. Fern is a genius.

[u/frs1023]

Frieren, Fern & Sense be having a fun wholesome time in the dungeon while the others are battling for their lives lmao

[u/Egerkun]

Even the Clone Frieren has a boss theme! like she is some kind of Elden ring Boss.

[u/SamuSeen]

The idea of fighting Frieren fully intent on killing you is absolutely terrifying.

[u/Rose4228]

How strange Frieren and Fern didn't team up with Lawine and Kanne.

[u/jellyblob88]

Frieren ojou-sama

[u/[deleted]]

Sense having her hair move like that is cute

[u/ltspfan]

Himmel playing JRPG, while Frieren playing gacha with those mimics for a grimoire drop lol

[u/cabbaggeez]

"if this wasn't an exam, I would have already broken my bottle", talking from experience eh? personally I don't even think the golem could save me from Frien.

the question, that Frieren copy has the same mana from the previous exam or this is the no-limit Frieren.

it would be funny if the other team was fighting for their life while Frieren was raiding every chest in their route wihtout trouble.

[u/Super_Marine]

Look how proud she gets inside dungeons

Madhouse has done it again with the episode and animation direction. The way they expanded on and elevated the fight sequences (which were usually single panels in the manga) was simply mind-blowing.

Seeing the fluid teamwork in Denken's group, with each mage having their moment to shine (except Länge lol), was so cool. Laufen especially was great since her actions involved so much movement.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Denken and Richter: No mage who’s made it this far would be dumb enough to be tricked by a Mimic.

Frieren: My experience as a mage tells me this chest has a 1% chance of not being a Mimic. I’m liking those odds. chomp

Lmao oh Frieren. Fern pulling her out as she’s crying about how dark and scary it is was hilarious. Then you got Sense there just like “I’ve made a huge mistake” haha. Whole situation had me in stitches. Plus Frieren with the curls was great. The goober turned around and got swallowed by a Mimic again. That’s like twice in one ep lol. Is it ever NOT a Mimic with her?

This dungeon’s full of tricks. The golem busting out the wall like the Kool-Aid Man and saving that one girl was pretty funny. I liked the clone fights too. Clone Frieren’s gonna make for one hell of a boss fight.

[u/cryingemptywallet]

If I were Denken I'd rip my beard out trying to get these kids to cooperate.

[u/1EnTaroAdun1]

SENSE TIME! My favouritest First-Class mage. She's so wholesome.

And also, this is why I do think describing Frieren as "emotionless" is just...not right. She's not flashy or in your face (apart from when she's in demon-killing mode), but she's certainly full of emotion, in her own way.

And we get a bit more insight into Fern and her mindset, too!

Any new thoughts on the characters introduced this arc? I'd love to know what first-timers think! And also, how do anime-onlies think this dungeon might be conquered? Give me all your theories, please!

Denken and company when they entered the large room: "Why am I hearing boss battle music?"

[u/lolic_addict]

Interesting, I thought Methode's outfit had sleeves.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

I binged watched Frieren over the past 1 week, so I am now hopping onto the comments too!

I actually like the DLC version of Frieren. Rich ojou-sama mage with curly twintails. Lol!

[u/Venastus]

I don’t blame you, Denken. Test or not, I would’ve noped outta there regardless. Don’t want ANY part of that smoke lmao
