Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 11 Ch. 105 - Golem

[RedIce05]

This chapter is actually really interesting from a characterization standpoint. Flamme does not consider herself a “peaceful” mage and thus cannot defeat the demon king. However, we can clearly see with the cooking golem that she does think about magic beyond warfare.

Deep down, she loves peaceful magic, but, because of the era she lives in and her hatred of demons, she engages in all sorts of “shameless” uses of magic for warfare, such as mana suppression.

Should've used old man Himmel for the popularity poll.

How popular was this manga before the anime came? How do you get 17 million votes? MHA's most recent poll capped out at 23,000.

Wasn't the whole point that Frieren could imagine the world being peaceful while Serie couldn't? And that's why Frieren beat the Demon King while Serie did not

How is Macht so popular? He's such a boring character

Mimic being top 3 is wild but yet I love it xD
That said, why the hell is Aura there? I understand the South father being there, because he was being seen as a contrast to Stark's family, though I'm not sure why he was able to gain such popularity even now. But like Aura? She's really quite boring other than her OP mana that triumphed others, that eventually Frieren beat her in (really simply). I do admit her fight with Frieren is really cool but that's mainly from Frieren, not Aura.
I hope Soltar is able to make it on this chart, because she's a far more interesting demon that Aura will ever hope to achieve.
But why is my boys Eisen and Himmel not here? What a disservice to them!

I guess she got there mostly for her looks. Her design is pretty awesome and cute.

First, that was in a flashback when Frieren was also like that. Second, beats me. I guess they can't do basic research on demon reproductive means and breeding grounds for some reason.

Cool looking abilities and appearance. Also, sheer volume of screen time, in my opinion familiarity breeds affection.
