Sousou no Frieren - Ch. 125 - Family

[Elandriel]

I like how Frieren's suffering has changed from the depths of depression and existential crises into "ew it's mucky".

 

[galih2234]

Well, It's fair I guess.
The way the fight turn out.

[Diamona]

I love how this series keeps illustrating how the march of time affects motives and drives. Yeah, you can keep focused on a single thing your entire life, but after 60 years, that's just one thing in a lifetime of experiences.

Fight no jutsu, followed by talk no jutsu. one-two combo.

 

[AnotherDuck]

Nice combo. They're a good team.

It's weird how you can be so loyal for so long time to something you don't even know.

Can't believe Frieren got up quicker than Fern. I guess an assassin makes for a good alarm clock.

Someone getting scared awake is going to be very alert very quickly.

 

[Neliths]

Jesus, the fact that this OLD DUDE bodied Frieren before she and Fern could react is hella scary.
It reminded me of Himmel with his high speed, which means that the upper limit of what the Warrior class can do, at least in speed, is certainly high. This highlights why vanguards are so important for mages.

Who knows what kind of monster human warriors are out there.

The strongest character in the story as far as we know is the hero of the south. So yeah human warriors can get insanely busted. We don't really often see them because it's a story focused on mages.
But Himmel while being unable to use his senses managed to fight off two extremely strong demons, ones Frieren couldn't defeat on her own.
Hope when we get to Rivale we will see Stark pop off as hard.

 

[djent]

short, disappointing arc. why even have a cliffhanger last chapter?

 

[ShaiKhulud]

God, the writing in this manga is so consistently peak it's almost unfair.

Great chapter and great resolution. And they actually redeemed Stark! Clearly wanna see this chapter animated in 5 years or so.

 

[undeadclown]

why don't they just fly above that flooded path?
Are they stupid?

They should have asked Man for help. The jonkler will catch them at this rate.

WHY DID YOU LET HIM LIVE????

Because there was no point in killing him?

 

[Monochrome696]

WHY DID YOU LET HIM LIVE????

Even if it was for a moment, he was a man who subdued Stark. The warrior who even Eisen feared. He evaded the mana detection of Fern, who could sense the flaws in the Grand Mage Serie's mana flow. With nothing but speed, he made the plans of Frieren, a mage who's lived 1000 years and has experienced night uncountable battles, completely useless.
That he didn't take her head the moment he had her pinned meant that he had no intention to kill in the first place, and his fleeting life was already nearing it's conclusion. He was a kind, somewhat disillusioned warrior. And she is the mage that is growing to learn more about humans.

talk no jutsu prevails another day

• I'll kill you
• No you won't. Dude, what the fuck??
• What the fuck indeed...

The strongest technique there ever was

 

[Admmi]

Its nice to see some frieren bullying, the power scallers were getting kinda ridiculous when talking about her strength, the upper levels of warriors should be has ridiculous has mages if we want a good balance.

 

[Blueberry_McFuckerson]

Love the concept and that it ended happily; thought I'm sad it ended so quickly.

 

[DeadlyShadow0]

It feels like we are getting closer to the end of the Journey, but i guess we still have to see some moments like the south hero plan and the north company (the one that wanted Stark to help them in the war), also the demon that was hidding from everybody, hopefully we get to see the "talk to the dead" Magic at the end so every new generation Frieren goes and talk with their past companions...

 

[DeadlyShadow0]

Love the concept and that it ended happily; thought I'm sad it ended so quickly.

Hopefully we get to see the same for Stark and Fern, getting married and having a family

 

[KinGrove]

The dedication to a goal w/o a purpose or w/o knowing the reason why is quite a curse.

For a lot of people, once they've already trekked past the point of no return, they keep languidly moving along to finish it; hopefully finding some sort of meaning at the end or some sense of accomplishment

At least for Radar, he found something else that had more meaning to him along the way and out of respect for his comrades/family who shared the same fate as him he was willing to put aside his personal happiness at the very end even if it meant he might get killed.

He did have intentions to kill, but he didn't want to trade his life for it. In his past he would have totally traded his life for the mission but now he doesn't want to.

 

[Kaarme]

You'd think the oldest man (father) could have travelled to their headquarters after a decade to check if the mission is still valid. And again after another decade. It's not like such an aging man missing would have lowered their combat potential that much. Some sleeper following orders that might not even serve any purpose could do more harm than good. That is, unless they were orders given by demons and the demons are still controlling the country.
