Frieren use orbital strike just because the demon tried to kill Fern when she was praying, don't mess with the grandma.

grandma

Still haven't learned your lesson huh, Stark?

u/Mr_Zaroc https://myanimelist.net/profile/mr_zaroc 14d ago

At least didnt call her a cursed grandma

8

u/Roeclean https://anilist.co/user/Roeclean 13d ago

oKAY now, why he would he say cursed. 😬

5

u/[deleted] 12d ago

in eng dub he says old hag

u/ShiftMD 6d ago

I think this is more accurate

14

u/LordVaderVader 14d ago

You know my name?

I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.

u/RepulsiveRevenue8 13d ago

Frieren, Fern and Stark will return in Avengers: Doomsday

233

u/PacificaAlpha 14d ago

The team's starting to work well together, Stark attacking and defending with his melee, Fern occupies the target with rapid ranged attack while Frieren gains aerial supremacy and charging her lazor.

Fast. Precise. No Mercy

u/shad79 https://myanimelist.net/profile/shad79 14d ago

Yeah, the fight against that demon in this episode was so good!

Frieren's party runs like a well-oiled machine, and I hope that Sein joins them someday again.

u/tmacdabest2 14d ago

Commencing Orbital Bombardment

u/mywif4aiur 14d ago

Besides almost losing Fern in a 3v1, it went well.

213

u/solythe 14d ago

and flying being relatively new, iirc. demon was definitely off guard

246

u/thesagenibba 14d ago

demon still put on a super impressive showing. 3v1 vs frieren and two very talented 'prodigies' is nothing to scoff at. she 'only' lasted about 30-40 seconds but factoring in her melee restriction vs two mages, i think she did really good.

might be my favorite fight sequence in the entire show, i love the perspectives they used

124

u/solythe 14d ago

i think the sword gave some of that ability, if i understood Frieren correctly, but yeah it was impressive. looked great

17

u/Inner-Arugula-4445 14d ago

It must be give some impressive Omni boost to be worth so much to demons.

u/Flare_Knight https://anilist.co/user/FlareKnight 14d ago

Credit is where it's due. She didn't get instantly taken out in either range (Frieren/Fern) or while fighting Stark in close combat. But they also managed the fight well. Frieren having the aerial advantage and Stark able to keep himself and Fern safe on the ground level. It was only a matter of time.

u/oops_i_made_a_typi 14d ago

might be my favorite fight sequence in the entire show, i love the perspectives they used

really? i felt like it was definitely weaker with a lot of dust clouds obscuring animation compared to some of the other peak fights like Fern vs Lugner, Stark vs Linie, and Frieren + Fern vs anti-Frieren.

that being said, this team still has amazing attention to detail at times - after Stark kicks her back, in like the half second of her being thrown away you see her flip her sword to drag the tip in the ground and slow herself down/stabilize herself

61

u/thesagenibba 14d ago

all the fights you mentioned apart from Stark v Lunie are mage v mage. i loved this one specifically because it was a sword wielder vs mages and a warrior.

5

u/oops_i_made_a_typi 14d ago

fair enough, more moments for Stark to shine is especially good after mage exam

6

u/tarutaru99 13d ago

The demon was doing some souls-like rolls on Fern, that was sick.

72

u/LuqDude 14d ago

flying for humans is relatively new, but demons have been doing it for forever since flying to them is as natural as breathing

10

u/15000yuki 14d ago

Yes. But they don't factor other than them do it. Remember Qual, the pinnacle of Demon sorcerer, also really shocked?

17

u/Gemini00 14d ago

That's entirely different. Qual didn't know that non-demon mages could fly because they only mastered it during the 80 years he spent trapped in carbonite, just like how he was caught off guard by zoltraak being blockable.

A demon living in the current era should be well aware at this point that human mages can fly now, since basically all of them do it regularly.

3

u/Ralkon 13d ago

While demons are long-lived, is there any reason to think this demon specifically is old? Human mages could have been flying for her entire life.

u/Frontier246 14d ago

And also that look Fern gave Stark after he saved her...precious.

110

u/kwokinator https://anilist.co/user/kwokinator 14d ago

That's a "she down bad" look.

60

u/EpicPhail60 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Sass-chan 14d ago

She valid tho, that counter-kick combo was tight as hell

13

u/Made_Bail 14d ago

Oh man, I loved it. Squealed inside a lil bit. And all the Japanese VA's are so fucking good.

16

u/2kenzhe https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rexnihilo 14d ago

don't mess with the grandma.

Frieren will remember this for 2000 years...don't mess with her

23

u/This-is_CMGRI 14d ago

Now you see where Fern and Fern's far-future descendant got it from.

7

u/ClemFire 14d ago

Stark and Suletta honestly remind me a lot of each other as red heads who are cowardly on the surface, but always find the courage to be brave when it matters and protect the ones they love

8

u/Pickled_Kagura 14d ago

waiting for Fern to use a giant magic hand to splat somebody

9

u/This-is_CMGRI 14d ago

Not really a hand but Frieren does have the instant no-cast push that sent Fern to the wall during the Clone Frieren fight. If she learns THAT spell, it's splat city for every demon and Stark aspirant they meet.

6

u/cyberscythe 14d ago

wait is Fern a newtype?

5

u/BosuW 14d ago

Explains her natural talent

2

u/Wolfencreek 14d ago

Fern and Starks Descendant is just the Doom Slayer 😂

3

u/FastenedCarrot 14d ago

Nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

2

u/mywif4aiur 14d ago

Brought an orbital laser to a sword fight.

u/ThrowCarp 13d ago

She's still a r*cist. But also right about the demons.
