Sousou no Frieren - Vol. 12 Ch. 117 - Miraculous Illusion

[zeroto7dan]

"Frieren will be taking a holiday for a few weeks to process this"
even the author got mental damage to the thing he wrote.

Right to the feels...

 

[abschieded]

I cant do this anymore

 

[VariousThrenodies]

I can see Frieren beating Solitar simply by saying her name, which would indicate they met (and that Solitar died) in the future. She seems smart enough to realize what it means that Frieren knows her.
I expect both Himmel and Frieren to be able to break out of the mental trap fairly easily.
I really don't want this arc to come to an end. This is the best the manga has ever been. Eisen, Himmel, Heiter and Frieren are just so fucking good together, I've been hanging on ever sentence and look between them.

El Dorado into this has been an unreal level of quality. If these 2 arcs get animated eventually at the same quality level as S1, Frieren will cement its status as a true classic show on par with the very best.

Can't wait until Himmel says "I'll smash that illusion of yours!" then proceeds to punch everyone in the illusion before waking up and punching all the demons into submission.

Ayo, Touma would be proud

Plot twist this isn't Himmel's dream

It's actually Eisen's. He's a shipper.

 

[shwiftyshfifty]

Everyone’s focusing on the illusion, but what about that extra demon who wandered off? She’ll be a problem in the future I bet.

The author made a 4d chess move to ensure their financial stability.

 

[Gotham2298]

An obvious illusion, but one many wised happened.

 

[Ironclad]

 

[VariousThrenodies]

Oh, god...I just realized that Frieren's dream is going to be staying with Himmel after the adventure...

 

[Lightbrand]

So they make a dash towards the monument to send future Frieren back to the future in exchange for the past Frieren who isn't as battle-capable to fight 3 Demon Lords?

Well since this group went on to defeat the Demon King that must've mean they took care of these guys right? So having Future Frieren here if anything means their victory is more than assured.

 

[rluka]

Always excited to see the demons interacting, because the story established they got different way of thinking compared to human.
But they still seems to have emotion like excitement or fear.

Now, wondering what that other demon's curse would be. Will it change the world, or destroy it alongside with everything including the demons.

I'm assuming that Himmel (and possibly Heiter) will kill Grausam here, which would cause Solitar to withdraw, and Eisen will stalemate Rivale to the point that he also withdraws before the rest of the party returns.

 

[deadrabbits]

Inb4 Himmel busts out of the dream shouting YES LOLI, NO TOUCH!

 

[Tsukki30]

Hhhh my hearts, but glad to see both Himmel and Frieren in wedding suit and gown

Hundred years is about when Frieren gets Fern and the others to the gateway to the afterlife, at the Demon King's throne, so I think it's something they fix within the story.

 

[SunSun]

Wow, Himmel has feelings for Frieren. Who could've seen this coming, WHO?! It's not like there was foreshadowing waaaaay back in that chapter with the meanings of flowers was there, or the chapter where Himmel put a ring on Frieren, nooooo way...

/s
Imo, they'll break out of it because Frieren knows Himmel can't live that long. She'll be at his funeral again, in the illusion.

 

[MechaBowzilla]

Everyone is saying this is Himmel's dream. What if this is a collective dream. We see it's affecting Himmel's mind to fall in line. What if it's doing the same for Frieren? What if that's the real Frieren in the dress. What if she finally understands what she and Himmel meant to each other and has to break the illusion, break Himmel out of his happy place, break his heart with the knowledge that she knows, and then immediately return to her time, leaving a Frieren that doesn't know or understand any of this.

 

[CountryMage]

On a more serious note, it's REALLY interesting to see the manga openly tackling the fact that Himmel loves her. We have all known for a long time, of course, but it's always been hinted at or implied, never ever stated this directly (at least, not that I can recall). I'm hoping this is a good sign for those of us huffing the hopium that Frieren does truly love him and is going to Aureole to tell him that (whether she realizes it or not right now).

There was that time Frieren nearly killed Himmel by showing that she knows how to flirt, that one seductive wink she learned from her master took him down hard.
