ep 14 will break your heart
Saw this comment on another channel A "Fake" Hero A "Corrupt" Preast A "Cowardly" Warrior And a "Disgraceful" Mage This is the party that brought peace to the world, without destiny being on their side. This series has masterful writing

Sadly this "peace' only lasted 50 years. Although the demon king is gone, there are still demons like Aura who came out of hiding after Himmels death, also the demons who destroyed Starks home village. Then there is still war between nations, wars in which they utilize children as weapons. In Ferns flashback, we see her looking down at her ruined town, either from war or from demons, as she contemplates jumping to her end. Sadly there will always be conflict, whether or not the world is saved

@@FlaccidPlatypus Himmel undoubtedly had a huge impact on the world though. Killing the Demon King has definitely lowered the demons' threat by a large margin. Aura only threatened a small city while the Demon King was a continent-wide threat. With the Continental Magic Association, even great demons are no longer the unstoppable threats they were only a century ago. Himmel didn't eradicate demonkind, but humanity is finally leveling the playing field. The era of humans has finally arrived.

I feel like there is, the hero sword is still in it's place which probably means the danger still exist. I personally think a someone is going to pull it out and use it to save the world once more. maybe Sein friend (I think he was called Gorilla) is the one who will pull out the hero sword and take Himmel place in the party. we have Fern to replace Frieren, Stark to replace Eisen, Sein to replace Heiter, only Himmel left.@@MrMilkyCoco
Stark glancing at a sword that can only be pulled by a real hero and immediately thinking of his older brother kills me everytime
The usage of the Hamburg Steak was so interesting, because it showed us 4 separate relationships. Eisen feeding the Hero Party. Eisen feeding Stark. Stolz feeding Stark. Frieren feeding her new party. Each of them saying slightly different things about the characters.
Stoltz had a total of 2 mins worth of screen time and I cried so hard about him.
Some people may wonder why Stark "remembers" himself just running away out of cowardice when their village got attacked. It's survivor's guilt, he believes he had done something wrong by surviving a traumatic or tragic event when others did not and considering he is from a 'Warrior Tribe' him running away meant he is a coward, even though in reality he was told to run. Even if logically he may understand that he won't be able to contribute much it does not matter, he still feels that guilt. Chad Himmel being a hero in his own terms. During his funeral his fake sword got buried with him and it still looks beautiful meanwhile the supposed "hero's sword" is rotting in a cave.
'Stolz' means 'pride/being proud (of something)'. I think that is a really fitting name for Stark's brother, since he is the pride of the village, but mainly because he is so proud of his little brother. One of my favourite characters in the show, and he was only in those three little flash backs. The character writing is insanely good.
Learning that Himmel and Heiter were friends since childhood really puts into perspective Heiter's grief over Himmel after he died, especially when he saved Fern. If he didn't do something, then everything his best friend ever taught him and everything he loved about him would essentially amount to nothing.

If you think about it, Himmel's death probably distraught Heiter the most. Imagine knowing that your best friend since childhood and probably your brother figure dies, it would probably be very painful

@@juanthegreat3954 True and what sucks is that heiter lived very long for a human just because hes blessed by the goddess. He was THE PRIEST. He shouldve died near the same time as himmel but he couldnt cause thats just how he is. Heck Heiter coulve lived to 150 if he didnt drink so much.
defeating demon lord with a fake cheap sword is one hell of an achievement. himmel might not be a chosen one but he is crazy strong

Notice the real hero sword rusted while the replica stay clean and shine during the first episode
Of the 26 episodes that have aired to date, ep12 ranks in my top 5. The Sword Village showed how Himmel was a true indominatelable hero and it may have shown the moment a certain elf began having feelings that she is still processing. And I have never been emotional over 1kg of ground beef before. But Stark's reauthoring of his trauma destroyed me. I weep everytime I see the cut to Stolz cooking for his "foolish younger brother."

Stark looked at the sword, who could only be pulled from the stone by a real hero, and he thought of his brother.
Stark learning he was receiving a birthday present every year, and knowing his brother cared enough to save his life, and choosing not to try the sword. Yeah this one was powerful.
this is the episode that made me realize stark's my fav character in the show.. super wholesome ❤
I like how the title of the episode, “a real hero” not only alludes to Himmel but also Stark. However he doesn’t see himself as a real hero, but rather a “fake” hero who ran from his village and couldn’t muster up the courage to fight the red dragon before frieren arrived. Then we see Stark just doing all these good deeds around town on his own free time. He even helped protect the last city from demons. Point being that you don’t need a special sword to be a real hero

I like that Himmel coined himself as a "fake" hero before killing the Demon lord because he haven't accomplished what a real hero needs to be done. And when he does it, he didn't even said to himself that I am a real hero now. He always introduce himself as Himmel the Hero before the Demon lord, then after that, He just calls himself as his name. is what i'd like to think though.

Well, clearly title of the episode alluded to more characters, both Stark's brother and Eisen.
stolz manages to make such a large impact in so little screen time. amazing reaction as always
Frieren doing the smug Anya face when they share the same voice actress never fails to make me laugh
Smug Frieren is a vibe.
Every episode ending of Frieren I feel filled with various emotions... Then the Ed always starts with... "and you alright?" and I always answer... "NO! I'M NOT ALRIGHT!" 😅😳😭
I’ve watched all of these reactions ahead of time on Patreon but I still watch everyone that comes out on KZread. It’s nice to see someone who really appreciates this anime like I do. I think it has become my favorite anime of all time.
The thing that really stands out this episode is that he actually had a loving brother, usually in animes its the older better brother/sister thats the nasty shit, but not in this case! And I love it!
This episode shows two kinds of heroes 1. The "not chosen" hero who still choose to do good despite not being the destined one 2. The "mundane" hero who dedicates his life not to save the whole world but to a small part of world(family, community, etc)
Stark and Fern are soo cute. She's so sheltered being brought up by Heiter and him being brought up by Eisen. Such a clash of upbringings lol bound to have countless misunderstandings ESPECIALLY at their age. But I thought it was really cute that Fern kinda "forced" him to go pick out a present for himself to start a new tradition. The brother scene always gets me. I was fine up until we saw the last part where he told him he has to live.

It's cute in fiction. In reality, it gets old fast. If they're going to have a real relationship, she's got to stop projecting her own perversion onto Stark and calling him a perv all the time and getting mad over nothing.

I'm glad the Starks didn't even try to get the sword. Firstly, because Stark doesn't even consider himself worthy, and secondly, I prefer the lesson of Himmel's story that it's not a magical item that makes a hero a hero.

Makes sense. It seems that the world building follows classical RPG class system. Stark is a warrior class so therefore he cannot equip a hero class weapon lol.
Damn i see she also got caught offguard with thinking "O hey, it's a cute funny wholesome episode" THEN BAM! RIGHT IN THE FEELS!
After rewatching this, I think the reason why this anime is so gud is b/c even the seemingly insignificant "side" stories such as celebrating someone's birthday are told in a great way.
3:43 I’ll be honest, I really enjoy seeing the kitty guest appearances in your reactions
Every episode makes you cry then the starting stanza of the ED is "and you alright"
2:30 - yeah, for some reason, this one got me good.
Himmel is HIM bro. Also the Stark backstory is really nice as it shines light on revising trauma and regaining perspective
Really that Himmel was Fake just makes him more inspiring. There was nothing intrinsically special about him. He was not chosen by any goddess or destiny. Anyone can become like Himmel.
This episode made me realize how goated Himmel was, for a dead character he's my favorite in this anime.
Despite the little screentime Stark's brother had he became one of if not my favourite character from the show
Fern smells nice confirmed - Daaaammmm that's a big cat!
You know it's a good anime when Miso also wants to react to it. Frieren's Anya smirk is spot on.
It is not the drawing of the sword that tests the hero, but the willingness. To get to the sword, you have to fight a gauntlet of monsters which are called to it, to protect the most podunk speck of hard to get to village. And survive. And when finding out that you can't draw it, decide that you don't need the sword. In that way, the sword separates those who want to be heroes from those that want power. Like Himmel, Stark passed. As for the hamburger steak, prior to the development of the meat grinder, chopped meat was a lot of labor. So if it's not a sausage to preserve the meat, but to eat now, it's a lot of work that should normally be invested. If you don't see a meat grinder, it's quite a statement as meals go. Of course, toss meat into a force field spell, toss in a pinch of zoltrak, and tada, hamburger.
And you alright? But Alana is never alright by the end of the episode😂 This show is just really emotional.
Every flashback with Himmel hurts the feels. 😢
one of the favorite aspect on this anime is the introduction on every character on this series were so great. even though some of the character only have little screentime, us as viewers feels like we already know them well and make us adore every character that introduce.

At 7:33 Frieren's face was like Anya Forger in Spy-Family. Since the voice actress for both was the same, Atsumi Tanezaki, In Japan there were rumors that it was a prank by the animators.
Fun fact: Frieren bought that potion back in the episode 3.
Not me crying again😢
Fern: Ecchi Stark: Nande
Frierens smugness is fecking hilarious…her little laugh is perfect
This show has made me feel emotions in such a raw and vulnerable way and I hate it but can't stop watching
now im 30+ i never have a birthday party or a present entire life but for me is normal, but older me i can understand when watch last time i see a young child like 4/5 year old, just blow a candle without any cake or present just only candle and her favorite food, thst just a daily normal food for us, its really break my heart, i hope she healthy and success in the future and have a better life ❤, sorry my bad in English not my first language
As someone that has very little bond with my brothers, and also hardly cries on anime. After watched this ep months ago. I cried. hard.
Another reading of the sword prophecy would be that the Demon King was not the "disaster that would destroy the world". Like, in a literal sense, probably he was not trying to destroy the world, though it may have seemed that way to other sentient races. In fact, the Demon King seems like a very interesting character, though we'll only learn more about him further in the story, as discussing him becomes more relevant. Anyway, the sword is there for another hero and a different disaster, most likely. EDIT: Also, Fern calling Stark a perv throughout the episode is very rich, coming from the girl that learned the x-ray vision spell and INSTANTLY looked at him with it after testing, no warning, no asking for permission. Frieren at least let her test it on her.
Stark never received a birthday present until 18….. here I didn’t even received a birthday wish from my parents and I’m 22….
Fern is so Frieren's mother - you would never guess Frieren was 1000 years older than her by their maturity and dynamics.
one of the favorite aspect on this anime is the introduction on every character on this series are so great. even though some of the character only have little screentime, us as viewers feels like we already know them well and make us adore every character that introduce.
シュタルクの一番好きな話だ😢
Yeah, one of my favourite episodes. These three characters and the way they interact is just so wonderful. Also: Goatee Priest next episode!
Yup. You're gonna cry just about every episode. I have an idea of the sword later on in the story that it will come back, but who knows what they have planned. Oh and if no one mentioned it, the VA for Frieren is also for Anya in Spy X Family, so the animators had her do the Anya smirk as an easter egg when she had the potion.
It’s so cute how protective Fern is of Frieren when Frieren is probably the most powerful mage alive rn lol. Ain’t nothing harming her. 😂

The Sword Wasn't Worthy Of Heimmel ❤

The village chief so kawaii in this episode hehe. Love it when she says out her Grandma's feedback to Frieren hehe. Oh and also the smug Frieren look hehe.
i love the thing that himmel still saved the world even when he was not considered worthy to pull the sword out
Gorgeous
😭
2:27 Music name ?
So Frieren on the verge of death because of hypothermia thinks about Himmel smiling...
My theory is that Himmel didn’t defeat the demon king. I think personally that everyone except frieren was down, and she delivered the killing blow. But she allowed Himmel to take her share of the glory.
the hero's sword is for driving off "the great calamity who's BENT ON destroying this world" The previous demon king is NOT the said calamity Spoilers: The prev demon king did not want to destroy the world, they wanted to made peace with human. But demons don't have the understanding of human concepts and emotions for them to be able to make peace with humans. Just like how we saw the demon girl trying to apologize by replacing the daughter of a family, the demon king probably did the same. So there's an entity out there who really wants to destroy the world, and the hero would appear then. Based on foreshadowing and IF the said calamity would be encountered in the near future, the most likely candidate for the hero is Gorilla (Sein's friend), and the calamity is probably the "hope of the demon kind" that a demon general once said
Stark is just too pure-hearted and that makes him the perfect foil to Fern. I always love the bickering both of them get into (although best boy Stark always concedes 😂). This episode puts into perspective why Eisen considers Stark to be potentially more stronger than him. Next episode is the introduction of best uncle. Can't wait for the reaction to his first appearance.
MAYBE the sword wasn’t meant to be pull out but is just a mentality test for heroes
U should have chosen a better scene on the thumbnail of kid stark! Would get more clicks, i was about to skip but realised it was that episode 😅 Gotta use the best scenes for the thumbnail 😂
The way that Fern projects her own perversion onto Stark and gets mad at him over nothing is honestly my least favorite part of her character. It's like when your girlfriend gets mad because she dreamed you cheated on her. The call is coming from inside the house, girl.

Actually in the manga, Stark carry not Frieren but Fern who is also carrying a sleeping and cudling Frieren...the image is so funny that I don´t understand why they didn´t include in the anime
9:39 he never received a birthday present? 18 years of living? No that's not sad. 34 years I never received a birthday present. And I am so ok about that 😅
Bcoz of this episode I started think if they really defeated the Demon King. Im sure there is a reason why they showed this. Even if they really did it, why is there a story going around of him pulling that sword.
