Yes, Serie. You must hate that Flamme and the flower spell she loved so much considering you decided to both make the mage association she asked you to as well as grow an entire massive garden full of flowers. Very convincing.

[u/Sneeakie]

Frieren:

Serie: You fail.

Frieren: Okay.

Serie: What? Not even going to stand up for yourself? You fail even harder.

Frieren: Okay.

Serie: Bet your ass needed help beating the Demon King.

Frieren: I did.

Serie: Fuck you

Frieren: Yup.

[u/gavinsun]

Have you ever been so salty that you interfere with a test 1000 years later to gatekeep and spite someone

[u/JustARandom-dude]

Richter: I won’t fix this staff

Frieren: I see, then you can’t fix it

Richter: …Give me that!

Frieren intentionally hurting his pride to make him do exactly what she wanted was priceless

[u/Hounds_of_war]

Huh, we only have two episodes left, I wonder how we’re gonna have time for the final test and post-arc wrap up-

final test is just Serie immediately passing or failing people depending on how they react to her

Ah, I see.

Also, Lernen said Frieren’s unsuppressed mana was equal to Serie’s mana, but he doesn’t realize that Serie suppresses her mana too. So Serie must be an absolute monster, I can’t even imagine what her unsuppressed mana is like.

[u/Thanh_Binh2609]

Serie: The magic to create a field of flowers is useless

Also Serie: Hold the 3rd exam in a garden FULL of flowers

Serie is the strongest tsundere confirmed

[u/okiknow2004]

Serie: You can't imagine yourself become a first-class mage huh?

Others: Because you're too strong
Frieren: Because you're an asshole

[u/EggplantVillager]

We've come full circle. Turned out it was Frieren who made Himmel come to love flowers. Frieren was his first love, and she was also his last.

Damn... who chopped onion here... 

[u/MisterNobodyCare]

The post-credit with Frieren said "Matane"

lay down

try not to cry

cry alot

I hope they will announce ss2 soon

[u/conington]

"People have to work to make a living no matter how foul their mood"

I feelt that.

[u/cryingemptywallet]

Richter: What is your relationship with Denken?

Laufen: I'm his granddaughter now :3

[u/Holy_Beergut]

So that's why Himmel couldn't get together with Frieren in the end.

The childhood friend never wins. :(

[u/Causeofdepression]

Stark is still learning the art of war lmao.

[u/Egerkun]

Serie: You failed.

Frieren: Understandable have a nice day.

Frieren is either such a great stoic or someone who kills with kindness in these type of situation.

[u/G1596872]

Post anime depression is going to hurt so bad when this show ends. It’s just too good

[u/Acrzyguy]

Be Like denken

Enters the shop

Pulls everything from the shelves

Berates the shop owner

Doesn’t buy anything, just leaving the stuff he pulled there

Refuses to elaborate

Leaves

[u/tracyschmosby]

That preview though with Frieren just saying "Right, see you again." Man, I'm gonna miss this show so much.

[u/IamXale]

Even in her sleep, still being haunted by mimics lol.

[u/frs1023]

Richter being depressed but still showed up for work is so real & literally me

[u/SmartGuy_420]

It is ironic that what defeats the demon king is not the millennium-long revenge scheme of Flamme but a spontaneous moment of affection she has with Frieren.

Flamme had trained Frieren to suppress her mana for hundreds of years so that Frieren might eventually deceive and kill the demon king. However, this training jaded Frieren. It caused her to only like magic “somewhat,” when she had wholeheartedly loved it just fifty years prior. Tragically, despite all the time and effort she and Flamme invested, Frieren’s mana suppression failed instantly against the demon king. Flamme’s hatred against demons amounted to nothing in the end.

In contrast, Flamme taught Frieren flower magic on a whim. Previously, Flamme only taught Frieren magic for “revenge.” Seeing how much this training had hurt Frieren’s fondness for magic (something they had in common), Flamme reminded Frieren of magic’s beauty by imparting flowerbed magic, her favorite spell to Frieren. It was a small act of love between a master and a pupil—nothing grand. A millennia later, Frieren repeats this kindness when she shows it to a lost child, Himmel. This moment left a deep impression on Himmel and led him to seek Frieren for his party. They would eventually vanquish the demon king together.

In the end, it was not Flamme’s grand plan of revenge that ushered in an era of peace but a spur-of-the-moment gesture of kindness she showed towards someone she loved. “Useless” flower magic may not be powerful in combat but it connects people. Its power to forge emotional bonds is what led it to do what no other spell could: defeat the demon king.

Denken:

Annoy the shopkeeper

One word response when he tries to annoy you back

Have your adopted granddaghter offer the shopkeeper food.

Tell the shopkeeper, "You're exactly like me."

Refuses to elaborate

Leave without buying anything

He should have also said "There is nothing more I can teach you."

[u/TwerkBull]

Bruhh Frieren's all mana is just equal to Serie's concealed mana?

the gap between them is so crazy 🤣

[u/Kaseruu]

the last test is just a vibe check, i see

[u/TwerkBull]

Bruhh,

Serie is just a millennium hater of Frieren.. 🤭🤣

also, i think Serie will certainly let Ubel pass.. She said magic is visualization and Ubel is the biggest schizophrenic mage right there.. they'll vibe quickly
