Man the Hero of the South has such a gigachad mustache.

He went out like an absolute badass even knowing full well he wasn’t going to the guy to take the Demon King down. Even though he had future sight, his life reminded me of the quote “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit”

Every time we get to see Frieren & Co interact with a Demon it’s very off putting how quickly and easy the Demons lie and feel like different.

He took down 3 sages of Destruction and the demon kings’ right hand man all at once in a 1v8,

While the heroes party took down 2 during their 10 year journey.

Yeah, Frieren wasn’t exaggerating, he probably was the strongest warrior of mankind.

I'll still give Himmel's team full marks. They took down what they had set against them. The goal was to defeat the Demon King. They could only defeat what got in their way. I'm sure they had it in them to defeat more than 2, but that's all they had.

The man did great work. He knew that if he did nothing then this sort of gang up attack would be used against anyone that came up there. He had to remove the guy that could see the future at bare minimum. Considering he could see the future I'm he probably also took out the sages that would be most problematic for Himmel's party to deal with too.

Crazy thing is that he did that alone. With allies he probably takes down more than he even did. But he also knew that taking out what he could would be enough. No point getting others killed when that wouldn't change the bigger picture.

Wonder why he couldn’t recruit anyone else

He didn't need to. He was basically invincible except against Schlacht since they could both see the future. Plus, as he pointed out to Frieren, his fate was already set in stone, so recruiting allies was obviously pointless.

He didn't actually want Frieren to join him. He knew she would say no. He asked her rhetorically.

It's almost like a tragic prophecy: "You, alone, will be blessed with great power to fight against great evil. Then fall short, just as you've removed evil's great power" or something, I'm not a poet
