ok, so Gorilla is confirmed to be a shadow warrior. Also massive Hype for Lineal. No matter the context to even get Serie on her knees at any point in time is insane for a human mage. Remember Macht? he couldn't even do anything to Serie. She played with him like a toy. So Lineal must be insane in combat to be able to do that and for Serie to trust her enough to send her on this dangerous of a mission. I thought before that the strongest human mage might be Lernen but I guess in combat Lineal might just be the strongest human mage so far?

The empire also did dissolve the shadow warriors so what the shadow warriors do right now isn't exactly what the empire wants right now? So it might become a three-way battle between the CMA, the Empire mages, and the shadow warriors?

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

Well, it's kind of hard to remember something you've not experienced. And there aren't a lot of people old enough to even have been alive at that point.

If they are a legitimate organisation of the Empire, I'd also guess they have their backing. If.

That structure feels like the military in my country, to an extent. They are much more free to act independently if communication is impossible. Which happens in war. But this is more free than that.

I'm not sure her explanation holds up, though. At the scene, you would coordinate in real time based on your judgement, but within limitations of your orders. She seems to assume that those limitations are very strict.

Being selected amongst those who swore allegiance doesn't say why the individuals within that pool were selected, though. It is a good criterion, but only if it's not the only one.

It can't "only pose a threat". It's dangerous and unpredictable, but isn't solely a threat. It can also be a great asset, which is probably why they were created in the first place.

Nice sentence completion on page 13.

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

So we've already assumed Gorilla is in.

The bigger question is why.

Dude left for adventuring as a brute warrior. How the hell did he manage to get into one of the most secret assassination groups of the Empire, and what purpose would it serve for a village adventurer? Also without letting Sein know.
