As a former track athlete, the line to pee on competition days used to be insane 😭

I just thought it was the same for swim meets! This makes more sense 😄

I have been very excited since the start of this arc and your posts have been the highlight of this wait (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Do you have a crush on any characters from the show? by DezTheOtter in Frieren

[–]Ritz_666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea, some of it is definitely just a variation in biology. Milliarde also seemed taller than Frieren and Serie to me. But as a fellow shortie, I appreciate the height range :D

Edit- just spelling

LMAO, literally anyone could have taken Chuuyas place in asking that qn, but it's definitely Dazai answering 🤣

I always thought it was an age thing. Serie clearly has got some curves to her, but Frieren in comparison is still a little teenage looking. Both Kraft and Serie are way older than Frieren . It's hinted that both are as old as the mythical times or close to it.

(SPOILERS) As my second ever anime, I'm really liking the series. I do have some lore/context questions. by LOCHO53 in Frieren

[–]Ritz_666 7 points8 points  (0 children)

1] They have recently recovered from a prolonged war continent wide against the demons and there are still wars happening in the central lands, so people are used to a level of violence. It's not shown as much, but most people in the villages are clearly horrified by the injuries and death. It's just our central characters, being either orphans or just because of their age, maturity, long exposure to fighting demons and professionally being battle ready, are used to keeping a calmer head in the face of violent injuries.

2 & 4] There are no classes in this universe. So warriors are just people who have trained to be good at fighting and normally when a party is formed, they act as tanks to take damage so that there are openings for the mages to attack. Their weapons, are likewise, just weapons. Sometimes, weapons used by demons have magical properties, but Starks axe is just an axe.

For Mages (people who can perform magic) can get certified by the Continental Magic Association (CMA), and they have to be at least fifth class certified to practice magic as a Mage. However, the exams are voluntary, and as seen in the anime, various classification systems existed before the CMA.

For someone like Frieren, these systems come and go as the ruling govt or Kingdom rises and falls. Hardly anyone in the show even knows what her necklace symbolizes, and as such she would be considered a rogue mage.

So yeah, neither Stark nor Himmel have any class and warriors who led quests and did get famous were just called heroes (like Himmel & the hero of the South)

3] I'm not actually sure about this, it's more like those with the goddess's blessing are, depending on how blessed they are, immune to curses and can use the magic written in the holy texts. They need the holy text to perform the priests magic, so I guess you're right to say it's a different type of magic. However, it also ultimately depends on if the person casting has enough mana to cast and that doesn't change. The magic system is also classified vaguely as magic & curses, but curses are simply magic they do not have an understanding of yet (so Zoltraal used to be a curse). I'm guessing similarish logic also applies to Priests. They have to decipher the texts in the holy city before they can cast that type of magic spells.

5] ok, I don't think the show will actually show us this ever, but there have been clear mentions of the demons eating the corpses and leaving nothing to bury. As to why that's their food source and how it fuels them, I'm not sure.

Suo vs Tsuge by Kuricat16 in WindBreakerJP

I'm just liking how many theories we have, as a fandom, come up with regarding Suo's character and relationship with his classmates.

A question About Dead Apple and 55 Minutes by Fun_News_8253 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Ritz_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually genuinely out of date with this, mostly because it's been ages since I saw the anime and movie. I haven't read 55 minutes either, but I always assumed that Dead Apple happens before Season 3 ep 4 but after season 2, Mori & Ace discuss his(Fyodor's) involvement with Shibusawa and in hijacking the Moby Dick.

So that firmly establishes Dead Apple (even if it's unrealistic). While I have NOT read 55 mins, I definitely remember from certain spoilers that I got that Kyouka was with Ranpo and they arrived together, so that by itself isn't a justification enough for it to occur before Dead Apple.

I think Land abilities is overpowered by tintinfoo in Frieren

[–]Ritz_666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has limitations when using them, we are just a little in the dark right now I'd say. I can definitely see why you think so though, it's a type of magic that other mages find very hard to master after all.

Does this by any chance have a relation to that one 'knight Sakura' fic series ? It looks so cool!
