Frieren 1x26 | Full Length Reaction

i think an easy way to understand that whole ubel segment is to think of it like how a sociopaths brain functions differently from the average person. basically, she's just wired differently, so she's able to do things outside of the rules set by reality. the cloak = impenetrable, so nobody could get through it. but the way ubel processed it: the cloak = fabric, so it can be cut

Is not just the fact that she has the cutting spell making her able to kill the proctor or fake sense, but more so her logic being different from a normal person that she was able to cut them.

Pretty much all of the names of people and places are german, f.e. the city of Äußerst is the farthest magical city out north, and that is what it means too, farthest, or extremely. Some names: Frieren-freezing, Fern-far, Denken-thinking, Übel-bad, awful(both ways too: it is bad or i feel bad), we use it in the sense of „that’s sick“ too. Apropos Sense, that is spoken like sen-se (two syllables, no silent e), and it’s actually a scythe. It all makes sense, eh? There are lists out there of all German words used in Frieren. And Kanne is, well, a can or jug, and Lawine an avalanche. And I, personally, find their childhood friendship to be precious as it is, they don‘t need to be more than BFFs for me. Kanne is the perfect „little sister“ for Lawine who has only older brothers and Lawine gets Kanne out of her comfort zone and praises her, when Kanne was always spoiled by her parents.

so basically whatever Frieren used to fight back Fern in the end, something that didn't feel like a magical attack but almost 1-shot Fern and smashed her staff... Fern said it was almost like a skill/ability vs a spell/magic (MMOR RPG gaming terms), whatever THAT attack was, fake frieren did it without her hands or staff, just with her death stare against fern... but what's even more intriguing is that Frieren said she didn't have to use this last resort move (that fake frieren used) for over 80 years... implying that Fern is the ONLY mage since the Demon King himself that forced Frieren to ever use whatever THAT last resort hail mary attack was... that's how scary strong Fern is in the eyes of Frieren, and how seriously fake frieren responded to Fern's barrage of attacks. Frieren actually did intend to sacrifice an opening for Fern, and take a huge hit, but Fake Frieren, in that moment, decided to prioritize Fern as a bigger threat than her own real version. That's how serious Fake Frieren took Fern , even when Frieren was right here (particularly since Frieren was defending vs attacking, whereas Fern was in attack mode)

Tremendo! ♥♥♥

Ubel accidentally killed Burg, She wanted to pass. From what I understand, Übel uses a loophole to cut through things like the Immovable Cloak and Sense's hair. Everyone layers defensive magic over everything, and that's what everyone else focuses on. But the magic is only layered across the objects, and anchored to them. They don't actually make the objects themselves invulnerable. Because everyone focuses on the magics, they can't get to the objects that they're anchored to. Übel slips through all that by focusing solely on the objects she wants to cut. It's not something that anyone who isn't neurodivergent can do. That’s why sense said she doesn’t think like a normal person and also mage battles aren’t straight forward bad matchups exist and a relatively “weaker” mage can sometimes defeat a higher level opponent.
