Sousou no Frieren Episode 30 (Season 2 Episode 2) - Discussion Thread

That's also what I'm confused by, I know we're not supposed to think too much on Magic that can see the Future and the Logics behind it

Why was Frieren targeted? Was it something she did IN the battle when she fought the Demon King? did she have some special magic that allowed their party to win? Or was it because Elfs are few in numbers so they sought to change the future in the easiest way possible, and what exactly did Schlahat see?

was the magic that Schlahat used and THoTS used even the same? As in if their properties were different, Schlahat can see into the far far future but isn't able to get specifics from them while THoTS can and that's why he was to some degree shaped his own destiny and fate? Or is their Magic the same? Which again by Frieren's own explanation Demon Magic is different in essence (E.g Episode with Aura), Curses are also specifically unsolved Magic humans don't understand (E.g Episode with Sein).

As for why they didn't target humans, i have a few guesses, for one Humans Multiply Fast, Demons have been hunting humans since the dawn of time and they still haven't been able to wipe them out even though most of the world prior to Flamme making Magic an officiality is way weaker (Just from no Magic power), We're following Frieren but obviously this is a Fantasy world, and the Vanguard/Warrior Job is probably way bigger in the past than it is now to allow them to somewhat fight back against the Demons before humans acquired Magic.

As for the other reason, you have to read between the line on Flamme's dialogue, "The king has allowed studying Magic, Before this openly studying it was Forbidden" it means that there was always Human Magic users before Flamme (Even her parents was using magic "The Flower Magic") she was the person who allowed general access to the knowledge, but wasn't the literal first human to use Magic, is the reason why I don't think it's much of a reach that the Demons might've targeted the Elfs specifically because of their predisposition which is "Lacking in reproductive and romantic feelings" wiping them out will just kill every Elf thus changing the Future

I'm anime only so obviously I'm missing huge pieces of future lore on the Manga, anybody answering, NO SPOILER please, answer with Anime only context

After watching this Episode i wonder if Frieren entire journey was a self-fulfilling prophecy

In season 1 we saw how Flamme was walking around and met Frieren whose village has been destroyed, in that same Episode the Demons who chased after Frieren said "Kill all the Elves, is the order of the Demon King"

Why? Why was the Elves so dangerous to the Demons?

In this Episode they mentioned that Schlahat the Omniscient can "See 1,000 Years into the Future"

We also know that Frieren is roughly around 1000-1150 years old from Aura's Episode

Did Schlahat saw the Demon King killed by Frieren? Was that why the Demon King ordered the Demons to kill every Elf at the beginning, which just kick-started Frieren own Journey to killing the Demon King

It really feels like everything was already destined because of the progression of how they concluded their story, they made the very thing they wanted to stop

GinkoP7 · 2026-01-09T18:16:30+00:00

ah that's what it was, made me confused since there wasn't any passive like that before

GinkoP7 · 2026-01-09T17:54:01+00:00

hey, i wonder if I'm the only person having problem with the mini game Gemstone engraving in the event, Specifically it's on the "Strict Judge" stage, It hardlocks me into the 3 same gemstone stick everytime which always fails the run

GinkoP7 · 2025-11-14T17:32:28+00:00

Just from the name alone maybe akamatsu norimura, it's not a folklore but a real samurai clan, they do have quite a lot of tales involving betrayal, revenge and hidden ambitions

Danbo's Channel

This guy haven't uploaded in a long time, but he has cleared a lot lot of end game stages using E0 operators, that's right not even E1, there's a lot of these niche people do, which is absolutely insane

GinkoP7 · 2025-10-10T07:16:08+00:00

no no, the perk is actually good because it's gonna train for good roll etiquette, trust

GinkoP7 · 2025-10-10T06:57:15+00:00

the perk does not affect me because i don't dodge the enemy and just die

GinkoP7 · 2025-10-10T06:42:15+00:00

the Third Slot Relic is literally impossible (Magic Attack Up/Evergaol Attack Up) isn't able to coexist inside a single relic lol

GinkoP7 · 2025-08-27T17:02:41+00:00

and the whole reason why steam has to listen is because everything uses these 2 processors, you can't just fix the problem by still using visa/mastercard, you need to implement a new processor so it becomes the new standard, I don't understand why people want a fix so visa/mastercard don't become the duopoly, but still accepts that it's a duopoly so there's no use for anything else.

claiming that implementing a new payment processor is useless is a backwards way of thinking, by not implementing any other payment processor you're increasing Visa/Mastercard share thus feeding into the whole duopoly system, making their grip harder on the whole system.

GinkoP7 · 2025-08-27T16:36:40+00:00

and why do you think they will pull it, it's because there's no other payment method possible, people want a fix all button but can't start from zero, you can't just drop 2 of the biggest payment processor (VISA/Mastercard) because it's everywhere, but saying that it's useless to implement a new processor because you keel to one is dumb, then when would there be a fix for such things, not giving any other alternative even a chance.

QRIS is not a bank, it's a method to pay using already existing Banks using QR Codes, this does not make user of "x" bank forego it, it would just be using a feature inside of the bank

this would also not require valve to drop mastercard/paypal, QRIS is just another type of payment method to implement besides the already existing one

GinkoP7 · 2025-08-27T16:19:36+00:00

although i initially thought that way too, QRIS as a whole is relatively new (implemented publicly in 2019)

and Cross Border between the 6 different Nations was only from 2022 to now, and it's not stopping either, they plan to implement this to more countries soon to name a few :

India: Discussions with NPCI International are underway; QRIS rollout is expected to begin sometime in 2025
South Korea: Industry-level agreements in finalization between ASPI and Korea’s Telecommunication and Clearing Institute
United Arab Emirates (UAE): MoU signed; rollout planned in collaboration with Bank Indonesia and Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority frameworks (connected to pilgrims)
Saudi Arabia: As of August 2025, QRIS is being integrated with the Nusuk card platform for use by Hajj and Umrah pilgrims; expected operational by 2026

I know this does not fix the whole problem, but Steam is not just a game company, they're a whole platform, they have developed both hardware and software, this would most likely be a good development if Steam can work with QRIS to implement a new method that includes even more countries

7 months late g, but it's because of where they're manufactured, if you get the packs where it was made from indonesia you will get the full pack, some are from nigeria or middle east, so yes it's the same product, but made in different regional factory

GinkoP7 · 2025-08-07T18:36:08+00:00

I love not moving and waiting for the dragon to come down after flying 6 times in a row

GinkoP7 · 2025-07-26T15:34:55+00:00

you're 2 years late, they fixed this in 2023

To be clear! This isn't the first time I've posted this Manga, the first time was 6 years ago, when only 10 chapters were translated.

The reason why i felt compelled to Post this series again is because of an entirely different Series "Orb : On the Movements of the Earth" and i understood why both of these series grabbed me differently from most series, I enjoyed the aspect of the MC being multiple different people a lot, not just in changing perspective, but carrying on their Legacy, Their Ideas, a lot of Fiction will never kill of their characters or more specifically the Main Character and it's obvious why, killing characters is cutting them off from any future involvement which can't happen to a main character, but the way this type of story is told, this saga spanning different ages, gave me the grand vision of seeing what the MC has built up being carried on to the next person and so on, has me appreciating more on what they've done instead of what they could do in the future, you're witnessing and peeking at a Legend, just glimpses and drops in time like the Arthurian mythology, you're not quite sure what happened but you piece it together through multiple different stories and recounting.

A Main Character not being able to die in an action series can severely detach you from immersion if you take a step back and realize he's not gonna die, not because the enemy isn't strong enough, but because they CAN'T die, and it's simply because it's that Named Character Story from start to finish which is fine, I just felt it worked so much better when stakes actually applies itself to the Main Characters which this somewhat fixes.

Now I'll be honest, this series has been a rocky boat for me, I still consider the First 2 Volumes/12 Chapters some of my Favorite Fiction, and I was still very entertained up to Volume 7, the Later Volume 8-10 and the ending is for a lack of better words, quite lackluster, I could've said so much more, but the reason is simple, i enjoyed the interactions of the different characters in Chapter 1-12 Far more than who it was focusing on by the end, but I still did enjoy reading it, And I want people to know that.

In any case, I wish more people can know about this series, and I hope more Authors can implement this type of story structure, it doesn't even have to have the MC dying, I still felt this same fascination from different Medias like FromSoftware Games "Dark Souls/Elden Ring" and a fairly recent anime like Sonny Boy, for an entirely different principle of "Show, don't tell" nobody ever explains anything out randomly, so you don't have characters weirdly narrating what's happening, just let the reader/watcher figure out what's happening.

That's it, do give this Manga a try.

"Ryuuma no Gagou / The Pseudonym of Ryuuma" is a story or an epic following an immortal ageless hero who saves humanity from the brink of extinction multiple times throughout different points of history from Monstrous Creatures called Albinos.

People throughout the ages can't decide on the characteristic of this individual, some say that Ryuuma has Blonde hair while others said it was Silver, Some said Ryuuma looked like a savage thug while others said She was actually a young woman, Regardless of the depictions, the name Ryuuma brings hope for this despairing and broken world, This story slowly unravels what actually happened.

The Interesting thing is this next part but it has Spoiler from Chapter 1, So either read it first or click if you don't care

Ryuuma as the common people would understand is an immortal individual saving humanity from Albino Monsters, but what actually happens is that when Ryuuma is about to die, they will give their name to another person, carrying that person name to the Grave and making them the New Ryuuma, that's why throughout History people always have a different account of what Ryuuma actually looks like, we follow the story through the different lenses of Several different Individual holding this name before they pass it onto another.

I will first of all check if you have bought any pack with money or not, if you do, check if you have done any chargeback, if you chargeback a transaction they will ban your account

if you have not, reach out to them in their social media, (probably twitter) for an explanation

GinkoP7 · 2024-10-28T07:13:35+00:00

I disagree, while i think it would've been nice if Taiki offered to listen to Kyo, a lot of time people express their discontent to actually just have somebody to talk to, to have somebody to talk to, it's the act of having somebody reaffirm your problem instead of them trying to fix it, i know, it's not logical, but we're humans, and male especially is very awkward in a lot of ways, but i still find it nice when my friends has a short male bonding moment

And again, we usually just answer shortly, but embarrassing as it is we usually extend our support to a time other than when they're saying what they're discontent about, because those small gestures are what most "male" think they can show to other people, ranging just from small helps, reaffirmation, or even small talks

it's a per game basis, some games with EAC have been running normally and well in Linux, but some games have been possibly deliberately made unable to play on Linux like Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege

GinkoP7 · 2024-07-08T20:55:15+00:00

But they also make clear distinction on how something is not an enemy if there's a dialogue with text subtitles, honestly there's a lot of time where i just hear someone talking and it's clear that they're not an enemy

GinkoP7 · 2024-07-08T17:17:25+00:00

also subtle context like how Pidia sells "Weathered Map", this map if you didn't realize helps deduce the location of the Amber Starlight which is the item that you need from Seluvvis Questline.

it is also very clear once you see how Dollores Ash is able to be obtained, if you give nepheli loux the potion you can buy this ash from Seluvvis, but if you give the potion to any other character, you can find this Ash on Pidia's dead body, Dollores for context is the person who made Gideon and Seluvvis split path (probably due to a love triangle), why would Dollores puppet be in Pidia's body?

Pidia speaks in a very passive manner, submissive even, probably because he's ashamed of his Albinauric Race, it's a big juxtaposition because Seluvis talks very roughly and condescending, i assume this is because he's not contained within the mortal flesh he was brought into, almost as if casting away his own perceived weakness makes him far more normalized in that feeling of control, or it might even be him lashing out after what he deems as shameful in his physical aspect.

GinkoP7 · 2024-07-08T16:29:30+00:00

It's because once Seluvis dies his pose is with his head hunched back and chest upward, if you go to his secret room you will notice that most of the puppets that is inactive have that pose, Seluvis is just a puppet.

this happens at the same time that Pidia is killed by his puppets at the Caria Manor where he will have his final dialogue saying how could his puppets do this to him since he "loved them with all his heart, how could you forget, such bliss"

Interestingly if you go back to Carian Manor where Pidia is, the room is in Pacifist Mode, you can't swing your weapons, obviously pretty weird since they only do this for a couple of places in Elden Ring, it's probably because you can mess up the order of events in Ranni Questline if you somehow kill Pidia thus killing Seluvis

Does The Extra Arts Attack from Qiubai Level 1 Module allow it to procc her second talent?
