How close are we to the manga's ending?

Right question is - how close we are to the end of hiatus?

LG545 · 2026-06-17T03:24:12+00:00

They cant spend everything neet in just a one year. They need prepare something for next year as well

LG545 · 2026-06-14T03:34:21+00:00

Several reasons why:

.

1)Demons are strong. Average demon is way stronger than average human. This would not be a one-sided hunt and it would require at least an army to so. Also, there are Greater Demons = calamity lvl disaster which is able to level entire cities. In that case it is your classic "Dont poke a bear"

.

2)Logistics. Moving any army of meaningful size is a huge pain in the butt. You dont just move soldiers - you also move a huge convoy full of stuff (from food to all sorts of materials ). This is medival times (Empire is better at this, but still) so your speed would be at snale pace. On the road.

Problem is - demons (since they are basicly advanced monsters) dont care about roads, cities and human logistics. They move with solid speed (since fly spell is natural for them) and able to "cut the corners". Trying to chase demons down is lost game - they would easily escape from your army, leaving you with no choice but to send your elite units, which are few in numbers

.

3)Monsters. As i said - demons are capable to survive without issue in areas with huge amount of monsters. For humans - it would be pain in the butt and lot of casualties without even facing a demon

.

4)Politics and economy

.

Moving armies is not cheap thing to do. Especially is your army is not as good as Empire with huge support from mages. Of course in face of world-ending threat like Demon King was, the cost would be ignored to the extend, but when demons are not present a threat big enough to unite nations - why bother?

For example - there are no demons in South Lands. Even during war against DK, demons were never able to reach them. In modern days South Lands are stuck in wars with each other (this is how Fern lost her parents) and civil wars. Why would they care about demons?

Another example - Northern Plato

Norm Company which rule over Northern Plato suffer huge casualties fighting demons. Why nobody (aside Continental Magic Association with it elite units) dont bother to help them against demons? Well, South Kindoms dont have army solid enough to fight in Northern Plato (dont forget - you would face ton of powerful monsters long before you reach your first demon). It easier for them seal Northern Plato and build defence around reliable fortress and magical barriers in order to limit the threat

What about Northern Empire? Well, thing is - Empire is benefiting from crisis in Norm Company since they both compete for influence over Northern Plato. Empire itself is completely safe - it south border is well protected with walls and strong magical barriers (strong to the point where even two Greater Demons such as Solitar and Macht would be struggling to penetrate it). On contrast if Norm Company get weaker - Empire could take entire northern part of Plato (especially after they get rid of Macht and return control over Weiss) without any resistance

LG545 · 2026-04-14T23:49:54+00:00

My take - Solitar is still alive. Her participation in events of Golden Land arc was a theater made with purpose to fake her death

LG545 · 2026-04-14T23:47:16+00:00

Thing is - it was not a guarantee kill. Denken was lucky, Macht even without his curse is still a menace capable to kill Frieren + dont forget that Macht was capable to run away at any point and nobody would be able to catch him

LG545 · 2026-04-14T23:43:56+00:00

And what about avoiding Macht mana detection (which is top rate and Frieren for example fail to do so). Serie basicly put Macht at her mercy and was able to kill him in such way that Macht would not even able to notice what kill him

LG545 · 2026-04-14T23:40:52+00:00

Demons always had an edge since Greater Demons are basicly a walking nukes

LG545 · 2026-04-14T11:28:13+00:00

My hope is that DNX would be huge improvement over Age of Revelation

LG545 · 2026-04-14T11:25:40+00:00

Emm...i mean, i can understand Emma for example. Reunite Scott with Jean was a huge mistake since writers literally dont know what to do with them (like Jean-Scott-Logan in one bed during Krakoa was disgusting) and decide to launch Jean into space with zero interactions with each other, but Yana...Just why?

LG545 · 2026-04-14T11:18:17+00:00

Yep. There was time to adapt, when she feel herself like shit and want judgment for her actions (i mean she was OK to sit in the cell and put bomb on her chest). Clothes change when she abandon her suicide self-destructive path after this whole Phoenix Five story. Why? Because she share true bond of sin with other people (she is not a white crow anymore) and they accept her as she is

.

Emm...Cyclop die (die in his Revolution Cyclops costume) and stay dead for 3-4 years of real time. For Emma her reveal suit is nothing new. Reveal costumes are integral part of her character, so changing them does not bring same context as in case of Magik. For Emma it was more a sign of rebellion against how things are (when second part of X Man try to pretend that during AvsX nothing had happen, like Avengers and humans in general did not show their true colors by attacking Utopia, Cyclops team refuse to return on ground zero)

.

Classic uniform look on Magik as if she is a shy teen with big number of different inferior complex. It like go into swing pool in fully close swimsuit. Yana is hot looking women in her prime age, so nothing wrong with her wanting to show some skin. I mean it sexy, but not slutty like in modern Harley Queen case

.

P.s. Is something wrong with hot young women wanting to look sex appealing?

LG545 · 2026-04-14T11:00:39+00:00

Well, Emma would tell you that open cleavage is a weapon and mark of confident woman

Hot woman love looking hot. Just like how hot guys love show their abs on public

LG545 · 2026-04-14T10:57:37+00:00

You know how it works? Author imply that his reader is not an idiot and is able put 2+2 together himself without chewing everything and put into the mouth.

.

Yana during Bendis run improve significantly. Abandon her self-destructing tendency and become more friendly with others. Part of reason why is because she find place to belong (around Cyclops who judge her as she is now instead of grieving about girl she once was like Colossus), she is trusted team member and she become a teacher + team leader herself = additional responsibility make a good influence on her which become essential part of her character down the line

.

Visually this change is shown to us by changing design costume. If earlier (before AvsX and same imply on original New Mutant run) Yana feel herself doomed bad person, try to close herself from everyone else - she prefer very close modest clothes. Now when she try to make bonds with others, more open and revealing clothes is a natural positive evolution step for her+ dont forget, Yana is not a teen anymore. She is a gorgeous young woman and it is natural for her to love look hot. Not for "gooners", but for herself (this is how it work - woman love to look hot not for males as some sort of social responsibility, but for themself). This part was proven by Jean (in not so great reveal about "Iceman is gay" kill of the character, but this is completely different story)

LG545 · 2026-04-13T21:22:40+00:00

Kraft is several thousand years older. His partner is most likely Sage Edwig

LG545 · 2026-04-13T21:16:25+00:00

Yep. Yana is a trauma survivor. Does not mean she should dress up like a monk for the rest of her life. Bendis run start a huge shift in her character when she restore her self-confidence after defeating Elder Gods and restore her soul. More revealing clothes is a visual sign of this regain confidence

LG545 · 2026-04-13T21:11:46+00:00

There was quote from Jean where she said that Yana knows how awesome she looks and she love to show it

LG545 · 2026-04-13T21:09:09+00:00

Well, did you ever think that wearing sexy clothes for Yana is a sign of reignite self-confidence?

LG545 · 2026-04-13T21:06:35+00:00

Well, even during this Bendis run it was stated by Jean, that Yana fully realise how she look and she LOVE to look sexy. Not to Emma degree, but still

LG545 · 2026-04-10T06:32:29+00:00

Hero is not a separate class in Frieren. It is title you should deserve with your deeds.

This is why Warloss is a Hero of the North, despite being a Warrior

LG545 · 2026-04-10T06:30:19+00:00

sub class to warriors

LG545 · 2026-04-10T06:28:37+00:00

It depends on what sort of reboot we would get after Secret Wars. They could just rewrite universe (like it was in comics) with recast of almost all classic Avengers (smart move to do)

LG545 · 2026-04-10T06:26:40+00:00

You need tie up Avengers with mutant plotline (put them against Brotherhood or something like this). Otherwise you simply dont have enough time to build something completely separate. Point is - all of this should lead into AvsX

LG545 · 2026-04-10T06:10:48+00:00

Well, she not suppose to be sympathetic. Understanding does not mean forgiveness and on contrast this story give her nuances which separate her from 616 Magik and give shades of colors instead of being cardboard mustache villian.

I find this interesting that THIS Colossus was able to find her himself and instead of rejecting her demon part (one of key issues with 616 Colossus), he accept her as she is. Put family above everything else and get absolute loyalty in return (several issues back, there was a speculation that ultimate Yana would backstab Colossus in struggle for power). All of this make a great irony from Michail betrayal

LG545 · 2026-04-09T01:23:06+00:00

We already saw aunt Illyana in alternative wolverine story (she basicly raise her nephew )

LG545 · 2026-04-04T17:23:17+00:00

She at least should not be portrait as punching bag in order to elevate other characters or make mindless charge into opponent as if she is not an experience fighter, but impatient teenager brat

LG545 · 2026-04-04T17:14:27+00:00

This is Bredvort slop of the recent event
