"Himmel straight up be like "So what if I'm a fake hero. There's nothing that says a fake can beat the real thing. If you say you are the original, I will surpass you and defeat the demon king.""

"Stark: *Gestures helpfully* Fern: Pervert... And to be fair, Fern, those clouds really did look like boobs."

"FRIEREN FEET FRIEREN FEET"

"I choked twice during the episode. First, when Himmel basically said "It's alright that I'm a fake hero, I'll still save the world." The pure determination from this man to go against fate."

"I always wonder what was Himmel's tone when he couldn't pull the Hero Sword. The direction is better than I expect. Not full nonchalantly, there is a bit of sadness there."

"Stark apologizing for something he didn't do is trademark boyfriend trait"

"Didn't expect Frieren of all people to do the 'Heh' face."

"Why is Frieren a better romcom than most romcoms now"

"I love how they keep teasing the ring that appeared in Episode 1."

"To all of you who work your hardest out there, you're all a warrior and deserve to treat yourself a giant hamburger steak."

"Stark remarked the clouds looks like boobies and Fern ran away BUT immediately a poop cloud remark happened and Fern thought he's a child inside. This just felt like good characterization."

"The true "hero's sword" is the sword the hero used. Not some glorified useless crap that got stuck in a cave. It is not that the one who pulled the sword becomes the hero, but rather those who dared to do the right thing."

"Himmel straight up defeated the demon lord using a regular ass replica sword. I guess that's the power of doing all the side quests."

"Stolz is the MAN. He didn't care that his clothes got muddy, or that he was considered the best at killing monsters. What mattered to him was Stark."

"I would like to retract my statement on Starks debut episode, comparing him to Zenitsu. Forgive me, everyone has depth to their characters in this series."

"A narcissistic fake hero, a priest with a drinking problem, an smurfing Elf mage and a cowardly Dwarf warrior - Yep, that's the perfect party to save the world."

"I love that Himmel was just a guy with a lot of determination and bravery instead of a chosen one that was fated to defeat the Demon King"

"Stark swallowed the steak that Frieren made, realizing that he has people that care about him, no matter how cowardly he is."

""Everyone who works hard is a warrior." I get he's a warrior, but does every single line dropped by Eisen have to cut so deep?"

"Why do I have the feeling that gag about the dissolving clothes spell would come in handy in the future? Can it dissolve armors? Or magic imbued clothes for defense?"
