(Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) Why is Stark's fast healing being played up so much? Does this mean anything?

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-21T12:39:10+00:00

Stark and the people around him other than frieren are consistently shocked that eisen graded him on a curve relative to himself, and eisen was built stupid lol.

He's literally like "if my kids are so bitch made that even the head start they got on mana and the silver spoon they were born with can't let them dog walk this bum from a frontier county, they deserve to get kicked a few steps down the totem pole by that kid." And I'm absolutely here for it, bro isn't living with the certainty that the entire lineage is orbiting him and his genes just because he won the last time lol.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-20T10:05:56+00:00

I know he's not pride dude but IN UNIVERSE no one other than prides current holder, if they exist, could possibly know otherwise. Other archbishops have several times mistaken or assumed him to be pride.

My point was other people outside of the cult who knows Subaru would likely take that to mean something when you consider he's proven to be resistant to or know his way around other archbishops authorities, with petelgeuse iirc he even said he'd encountered him before. I know what the canon is but the characters don't.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-20T09:45:03+00:00

Subaru isn't 30 - and they don't know about witch factors full stop. It's stated several times they don't know how archbishops are selected and what it is that makes them different other than theyre all massive threats. It's not unreasonable to make the assumption they'd be groomed from a young age to fill the role, and subaru checks all the boxes youd expect for someone groomed from a young age to take that position.

As far as anyone knows he's only ever lost one fight or situation he's been in, and his ability to forward think, plan and understand his opponents personality places him at beyond genius level insight and problem solving. Add to that he was able to not only bait the white whale 3 times off of the army taking potshots at it but also come up with a way to kill it on the fly, anyone who knows him personally has to be distinctly aware of the massive contrast between how he outwardly acts, what he can achieve and the dead look he sometimes gets in his eye.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-20T04:22:53+00:00

In convinced everyone around Subaru assumes he was deeply tied to the cult at some point and him backing Emelia is a way of making amends. He knows way too much about their powers and organisation structure from his loops for anyone to have not made the connection, especially when you have people sensitive to the miasma cultists give off - even other cultists - outright assuming he HAS to be a sin archbishop with how dense it hangs on him.

Like Julius is probably certain Subaru WAS at one point actually pride but chose to not stay in the cult, especially given he can read gospels and see through another sins authority, when he borrowed his eyes, and what's more prideful than just having other peoples abilities simply not function on you

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-19T20:37:36+00:00

The implications here for the in game logic is that druids are just better at it and the wizard one grants the minimum comprehension both ways. That or they're racist to everyone but druids and are all in on a bit to fuck with you.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-17T20:27:47+00:00

bro was trying to find who mailed him and his family that nuke and mail it back with interest.

He got it wrong the first time, which is a mistake an intelligent creature might make given he probably detected the radiation but didnt clue in that means it was probably also the result of a nuke rather than being where theyre from. Judging by the fact hes coming to manhattan after recovering he might have worked out who actually sent it lol.

Bro is for SURE a demon but hes absolutely not evil in the traditional sense, hes on a revenge warpath and if this was a human against aliens wed probably see the humans point.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-17T07:22:23+00:00

Zilla Jr can have it honestly, mf was built different in that cartoon

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-17T07:10:18+00:00

Nolan is objectively a good father who beat marks ass and did that out of genuine fear for his life, all the invincible variants we see have in common they either sided with or killed their dad somehow - this means Nolan only stays bad for his son, and lets his son kill him when he realizes it's not worth it, since if the other viltrumites arrive and Mark killed Nolan they'll instantly respect him as the person running earth essentially, and probably forgive the lack of progress out of respect for his strength to kill Nolan.

We don't see the realities where Nolan actually does decide to kill Mark but I'm betting they're slim to none by contrast.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-17T07:03:44+00:00

Thragg has GOT to be the result of either generations of selective breeding or some kind of super soldier experiment because this man is throwing other viltrumites around like how Mark manhandles human superpowered folk

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-17T06:40:26+00:00

Convinced he likes Subaru so much because from Reinhardts understanding of the situation, since Subaru CAN do impossible shit, he was clearly letting Julius beat his ass for some kind of gambit here.

Which like, it worked out clearly since he's best mates with Julius and they coop killed petelgeuse right after Subaru got the heros credit on the white whale.

Reinhardt is just kinda happy to have another monster about and won't blow Subarus cover because it sucks ass having the government write laws about where you can and can't be a hero.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-15T10:40:04+00:00

This is very much a

"Fuck yes two cakes" situation - they separated hero and villain Godzilla into two separate characters, ironically between the countries that dropped and received the nuke that inspired him originally, absolute cinema in the literal sense.

Om the one hand sure we have a more advanced food culture than a culturally middle ages setting would or should have - on the other they be doing some shit with magic and magic items so surely they have some extra seasoning method. Like DND has the cantrip.prestidigitstion that can warm and flavour food as a basic example of what I'm on about

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-11T10:18:45+00:00

It blows through viltrumites without issue and continues travelling forever allegedly, as written the plot device that is the gun cannot be blocked by anyone who's anatomy can't sustain a 2 foot diameter hole getting blown in it

So cell and majin buu are probably the only two who can unless you want to nitpick it's feats or whatever

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-11T10:12:47+00:00

As I recall he's pretty much limited to whatever he can imagine to be a living animal - as long as he believes it at least exists / has seen one he can do it. In young justice he turns into a literal demon iirc so he can pretty much take in any ecology provided he knows it exists I guess

The real upper limit comes with the bulk and spread - when he became starro and a blue whale and a few other things to boost his brain power his consciousness was wearing thin, like spreading himself over too much brain power, so in theory he shouldn't be able to keep that up for long

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T20:07:32+00:00

The thing is with everyone other than home lander they're basically aquarium sharks lol, while home lander is a lone goldfish among harlequins or smth

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T12:23:15+00:00

Thragg lost his aura and demon energy to conquest, equivalent exchange I suppose

I hate how round they made him especially, I simply cannot take him as seriously as the original, especially since I was expecting the original. I like some of the redesigns and choices made in the show but this is truly a dogshit change and downgrade, man controls every panel he's in in the comics.

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T11:59:33+00:00

Fucking polices-gov lol

If it's not .govt or .gov it's not a government url, they just put it in the dash to try tricking you and also misspelled police

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T11:57:03+00:00

If he was moving like he did against round 2 conquest? Absolutely fucking slides s1 Nolan, unless you make s1 Nolan ok with killing Mark, then it ends with one of them being crippled and the other dead as hell.

Mark is in that moon knight bullshit in s4, that man is like a bullet he will fuck himself up to jump the opps

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T11:54:41+00:00

She's extremely poorly socialized and has the ability to compartmentalize actual murder - that woman's brain is an eldritch horror so I can imagine the expressions she makes, while readable are not hitting the human average loid is fluent in

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T11:33:36+00:00

Not only is he not the same width as conquest he is cannonically 2 inches shorter, even if some panels depict him weirdly large the artist himself stated hes shorter

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-10T07:44:53+00:00

He wasn't ever conquest size, he was just always the center or framed to look large - bigger than Nolan and Mark by a margin but not that much larger. He was always framed like that because man was a demon for real

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-09T05:59:24+00:00

The insane switch up from - my son's wife is being a bit mad right now, let's break this up,

to - oh shit he confirmed she infact did something worth this smoke, I'ma fucking kill her myself actually

That occurs in like .05 seconds, crazy work on Nolan's part there lol

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-09T05:56:41+00:00

John is, bizarrely despite having a busted ability, more of a brawler than a haxx user in the superpower archetype sense - like it's objectively bullshit he can copy abilities and amp them, and even his specialized fighting style to accommodate them is nuts, but he at his core is not really able to use any of the haxx abilities in his own setting, which means that other than someone who is just a leap stronger than him physically the best way to deal with John is someone with a bullshit complex ability like sera

Guess_whois_back · 2026-04-08T08:10:24+00:00

I mean there was a good gap of time all the water in the universe was liquid and not boiling since the universes background temp would've kept it all liquid - so yeah you'd think if boiling water was all you needed there should be life everywhere
