Turn on subtitles for a rough translation. The same user has a bunch more Frieren videos...

If the Demon King had been sealed instead of killed, I believe history would look upon the Hero's Party differently. And as you said yourself, Frieren never made any preparations to visit the Demon King's castle in the future before she found out about Aureole, so all evidence points to the Demon King having been killed, which would mean she was telling Qual the truth.

If something big happened when Frieren and the Hero's Party fought the Demon King, maybe it's that Frieren put up a barrier around the area where they fought the Demon King, so none of his underlings could join the fight, making it a true 4v1 against the Demon King. As Flamme's apprentice, Frieren almost certainly had a lot of experience with barriers, which was shown in the most recent episode in which she broke a very powerful barrier made by Serie, so I believe she put up a very powerful barrier that none of the demons could break easily.

I would certainly expect something interesting to have happened but so far the more impactful flashbacks have really been between Frieren and Himmel - the story is focused on the characters ( character development and character interaction) and not so much on plot or action. After all, the main quest is already done.

I'm sure there'll be some final obstacle to Frieren getting to Aureole (it's probably not a coincidence the Demon King's castle was built where it was) but beating the Demon King again doesn't sound very interesting to me.
About Frieren and lies I didn't say this to take a side in this discussion I just said something that Frieren will do to win. In other words, I mean more about Frieren's personality here.

About the fight, something big happened there Eisen himself said this, what is this and how unique it is when we compare it to other series, that is something that we can't say because we don't know what happened there.

I'm starting to think the mangaka hates Stark or something. He removes him from a really huge story arc centered around action even though the character's entire point is that he is suitable to fight or something. However, they only bring him back for jokes?

How do you expect Stark to fight in an exam for mages?

I don't know why you're assuming this is supposed to be malicious.
Stark's in town waiting for them, so naturally he would be there when they're on break between tests.

Stark is more than just his ability to fight. If you're after a battle shonen, this series isn't for you.

A breather episode with the various groups spending their day between exam! The main trio reunite (and Stark may or may not be in the doghouse)! Lawine dresses up for a date with her girlfriend !

Trailer for the next test. The action animation as been rather reserved for the first test so I'm glad it looks like they're going to put some flair for the next part.

With the first exam over, we have the groups we've followed passing onto to round 2...including two other groups we haven't had the chance to get to know yet .

I hope Stark enjoyed his vacation because the wife and the mother-in-law are back..and she's already dogging him for staying up too late drinking juice! Fern pouts have returned! And that means they need to treat Fern !

So Richter's day job is running a magic shop and fixing things up. He seems pretty affable off the clock from the exam, but he still doesn't want to get along better with Denken or Laufen and her donuts knowing they'll be competing against each other in the 2nd exam. But even he can't resist Denken and his "I went somewhere with my wife..." move .

Laden doesn't trust people but I feel like he wishes he could get along with cats better...all the same, he like most people probably wishes he didn't get caught by Ubel or her interest late into the night, though as psycho as Ubel comes off it turns out she's the type who empathizes with the people she faces off against, if only because that's how she learns their magic for herself to use. And Laden just happened to catch her interest .

What are the chances that both Frieren and Denken would have fond memories with a loved one that would bring them to the same restaurant from their past? Though it's the perfect excuse for a new Himmel flashback as the team digs into a great meal. Sure food changes over time and generation after generation, but if it's still tasty (maybe even tastier) that's what matters .

I love how this random dude, unprompted, just told Stark the secrets of martial arts while Stark was training.

Ah, I see Frieren's overslept a few too many times and now Fern is ticked at her. They're going to have to use up all their savings to make Fern happy .

Lawine's family really dotes on her, especially her brothers, and they love dressing her up. All the better to look fancy for her little "date" with Kanne !

Wirbel is looking for a warrior to slay a monster with! And Stark is the perfect choice! And Fern gives him up like it's nothing .

Well, it's nice to see the girls all bonding and enjoying hanging out, especially as Frieren realizes what Himmel meant by the impact that changing ones' life, no matter how small, can feel good and mean you will continue to be remembered .

I love all the ways people discovered their test...Ehre has a bird on her head, some dude is in the bath, Methode is holding the bird, Laufen is still enjoying her donuts, Ubel is trying to get chummy with Laden, etc. Though it seems like the 2nd exam will be even harder with Sense proctoring it. She says she's a "pacifist" so I guess nobody will die...but it'll still be super difficult .

episode 22:

nice smile, Frieren look so happy during the girl's talk. It seems she now understood what Himmel said about how to make people remember her.

If it saves him from an angry Fern...

Love these types of episodes where you see everyone when not in a pitched battle to the death.

I normally alternate between liking and being indifferent to Fern, but episodes like this really make me not like her much. I agree with Stark, she was just a pain in the butt this episode.

Contrary to what you might think watching it, the trailer actually does a good job showing a lot while spoiling very little. I doubt it's possible to figure out what's going on without context.

He's just a senile old man who's been following him around spouting random stuff.

I find her behavior pretty realistic. A socially stunted teenager who tries to act like a mature lady but is actually very childish. Her design is also a perfect mix of cute and sexy. She's my favorite character by far.

Omurice, the food of the heroes!

These chapters are good too. My boy stark is back and was found out that he was being lazy all the time, of course fern would notice.

Good interactions all over between the parties and now future enemies, stark made some new friends too.
