Sousou no Frieren - Ch. 138 - Traitors

[Zaronax]

Nooo.. Stop taking breaks all the time

They're preparing for Season 2! Everytime the anime production kicks up, they take breaks and change the release schedule.

Excellent thing, if you ask me. I don't want them to get hurt or get sick from overworking.

Thanks for the chapter.

So, basically the Shadow Warriors are "Section 31" now

And the potentially pivotal figure to foil their plan is our super doctor. It's DS9 all over again

 

[Kireato]

How did Lineal get detailed information on the shadow warriors when they're a rogue unit from the empire? The shadow warriors were dissolved 16 years ago, but the empire still has portraits with their current looks and more information on their skillset? If they're still secretly sanctioned by the empire, just how deep did Lineal go to get intel on that shadow warrior unit, which is famously known for having an independent command structure with no supervision? That's shady, Lineal is a "shadow warrior who sparred with Serie to get an idea of her skills and who will be the one delivering the killing blow to Serie" shady.
We'll have to see what's up with that and what they are doing exactly.

Also no way Serie forgot about Frieren right? the disrespect lol saying she's the only one who remembers Flamme when Frieren is literally there still alive as well

Yeah, maybe the translation is poorly conveying what she means. Frieren knew Flamme as a master. Serie knew Flamme as her student. She has memories of Flamme being a child and laughing innocently, as the drawing conveys, so perhaps she means that she's the only one with those memories.

A literal rogue cell composed of super humans who are capable of killing even Frieren and co with ease

I wouldn't say with ease, since they failed.

The last dude must be shadow gorila

 

[Baddtraxx]

man, I saw that a mile away, that gorilla became one of those.

 

[Erricane]

That's Sein's friend isn't it? The one he has been searching for for a long time.

How long is this arc going to drag out? They have been building this up for around half a year. Hope the actual fights were short though.

Aint no one talking about Falsch and Serie? It seems his shadow abilities are able to conceal even Serie's huge mana, as they seem to be walking casually in the city. And i kinda like how protective he is for her.

Me thinks Capitan Phrase could be Lineal... You need to infiltrate a high position to not get noticed. Plus with the top-tier info, it makes sense.

Maybe is that mysterious white demon woman who refused to join the remains of that group of greater demons because she would have her own plan.

Do you mean Tob? I suppose she would be saved for near the end.

Perhaps she meant the child Flamme? A bit metaphorical, but she was picturing the innocent little kid before saying she was the only one who remembered.

yall talking about shadow gorilla when this cutiepie is throwing this cute face

The scarred man, right? I was thinking the same thing...

That's also the impression I got. I don't know what the original word was that was used in that scene, but Japanese often uses more specific vocabulary regarding the age of people than English. Words that might all usually be translated as "girl", but where the term used might specifically mean "little girl", for instance.

"I'm the only one who remembers that girl's face" and "I'm the only one who remembers the face of that little girl" have two subtly but distinctly different meanings, particularly when said by a character who by their nature tends to act like every person around them is a child (because to her they all are).
