| This is very bizarre for the stage of the exam. Facing against mirror copies that is duplicates with their abilities. It seems the show wants the cast to face themselves to test their potential. A clever way of story execution though imo. I think the Frieren copy is the most interesting one given how much she resembles the original. |

| Pretty sure fighting oneself wasn't in anyone's checklist, though here we are, witnessing this thing firsthand, thanks to this dungeon and its used to be dungeon lord. That fight between Ubel and the glasses guy who's a specialist with clones himself as a matter of fact, against Ubel's clone was just a kind of a tearer of things coming from this point on… … as I mean now that both Frieren's group and Denken's group are there to face off against Frieren clone, with practically no other way out except facing this head on, and without a mage who's a specialist in mental magic or whatever the name is at that, we will have the main thing next episode. Though this being the main point is understandable, but I liked how we didn't forget and kind of got a dedicated content for all the other groups too. Bit hilarious how Edel and her group submitted the point we heard her name for the first time, though they had Sense as their opponent, so... yeah. Many groups are in contention, but yeah again, the main thing.. Frieren (clone) versus all will be next time. Also, Fern should've phrased that better lol. |

| Denken's group just up and ran away, leaving poor Frieren to deal with her clone all on her own. Lols. In the second exam, when the participants ventured into the Tomb of the Ruined King, they found themselves face-to-face with their own clones. These clones weren't just illusions – they had physical bodies and mirrored every aspect of the originals, from strength to magical abilities. The most unsettling encounter was with a clone of Frieren, guarding the innermost depths. Meanwhile, Genau and an unidentified mage were overheard discussing the exam. They revealed that the demon lurking in the dungeon was named Spiegel, a water-mirror demon capable of creating perfect copies. This explained why Sense had chosen this location for the examination – it forced the participants to rely on teamwork to avoid any casualties. I was really hoping to see Frieren's entrance in this episode with all three of them carrying piles of treasures high enough to cover their faces, but oh well, I guess. Still, a showdown between Frieren and her clone would be so intense. Imagine if we get to see Frieren giving it her all against an exact copy of herself at full power – that place would be chaos. But it looks like it's going to be Fern taking on the clone Frieren instead... And now there's even a clone of Sense? If they end up facing her, it seems like it'll be up to Frieren to take her down. But damn, Sense's magic is something else. At first, I thought all that intricate hair was just for show, but it turns out her visualization ability runs deep, kind of like that jean guy from MHA. So, what kind of strategy will Frieren and Fern come up with to beat, well, another Frieren? |

| Another stelar episode full of worldbuilding and character building. Frieren intuition proven right for once during this dungeon raid and would continue to be right until it end.  |
| 2:32 Spiegel is mirror 2:36 Ewig is forever, eternal 2:55 Einsam is lonely, solitary A rock paper scissors-like party would probably work really well against it. Can a party like that even be formed though... 6:59 I had to rewatch this a few times. So good. As I understand it, Land made his clone himself with his magic, right? It didn't look like it was made out of clay. The secret way reminds me of Harry Potter 11:59 Frieren's probably like "Hey, I know this guy" 14:42 Fern: "My Frieren!" Oohhhh right, I didn't even consider the fact that Sense will be cloned too, even if she isn't an examinee. So everyone is technically at a disadvantage, because they have to fight one more clone. Ohhh, interesting. Fern is undoubtedly strong in terms of raw power (seeing what she did to Ehre is the first exam lol), but can she beat Frieren? Or maybe that isn't a perfect clone, because it would need an insane amount of mana. Tho I hope it's a perfect one, it'd be more interesting that way. This episode was so epic man, I can't. Everything looked so beautiful. This is episode 24 already, only 4 more left. I'm not ready to see this go T_T. I really hope there will be a season 2 announcement right after the ending, like with Oshi no Ko. |

| I guess some people had high hopes of seeing a big fight and left hanging. XD |
 |
| Frieren doesn't even know how to fight herself. She is just being her laid back self as usual. Anyway the others are struggling as well tho i wonder if someone is fighting a Fern clone, it would be a interesting battle to watch. For now tho the question is what are the going to do about the Frieren clone. |
| I love how jealous Fern gets when others get close to Frieren she is just so cute. |
| This episode had a lot of actions and they had cool animations. Fighting their clones is quite tricky and Frieren clone remains the biggest obstacle. Fern can kill her? It was cute when she got jealous. Btw was the secret room in the manga? I sure don't remember it. Think it's anime original, cool ig. Also why did that stairway looked like the stairway to elden beast fight lol. |
 |
| Sein really missing out. He could've made friends with an older lady. |
| Thtas what i am saying fren can kill frieren because fern can cast much faster than frieren thats why battles end faster when fern fights |
 |
| Restrainting and hypnosis magic doesn't work on Frieren that means Sorganeel is useless against Frieren and I thought it was one of the few magic which can defeat Frieren and I really thought Edel was about to die but this episode once again proved that the Golem is the best waifu that will protect you from anything. |

My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
| A typical Frieren episode. Not much happened, but it's still 10/10. I only have one thing to say; when I saw the title of the next episode (Fatal Vulnerability), my first thought was: "Great, they found a way to beat her and I can predict it with 100% confidence." |
| Can't tell if Fern's big idea is a dead serious battle strategy based on positioning, combat tactics, using everyone's strengths and whatever or if it's "let's throw in a mimic and cheese the entire fight" Gotta love the technology of this world, from magic-powered touchscreen maps to insurance golems. |
| Denken using the secret technique of the Joestar family "nigerundayo". If the beautiful lady gives a hug, is just polite to hug back. Seeing that Sense is pacifist and the clone isn't a pacifist, there isn't really mind. Is great the Fern will have a moment to shine, making a plan. But after Frieren arrived, the plan can be cheapshot the clone while Frieren distract it. |

| Sousou no Frieren Episode 24 While everyone was fighting for their lives, there's Frieren, who enjoyed messing around the dungeon, finding hidden passages and treasures. We saw a bit of what Sense can do and how powerful she is from her copy. Poor Edel. Ubel and Land seem to enjoy each other's company. Jealous Fern when Methode hugged Frieren. This trio will do fine. lol Fern: Nah, I'd win. (2024-02-24 00:25) |
| Good as always. When Sense clone hit, I thought the hair would pierce the heart there, but it does seem like they'll survive with the bottle breaking. Even with the memories, the clones are still mindless, can't properly work togheter, don't come up with complex strategies and don't change once created. I know they said early on that Fern is better at controlling her mana than Frieren, so I'm gonna guess the vulnerability has something to do with Frieren's mana, even though I don't know what exactly it will be. |
| fern is jealous of the hot milf woman named method hugging frieren there lol sein x method romance when ubel and the self cloning guy romance is going strong too also sense is too strong too like her clone shows |

| BRO JESUS CHRIST FRIEREN REALLY IS FOR THE SAPPHICS!!!!!! THE LESBIANS KEEP WINNING. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Good episode. Bit slower without too much progression (Denken and company are still in the exact same spot in trying to figure out how to battle the Frieren clone) but at least they do have real Frieren and Fern as additional company now to formulate an approach to taking Frieren's clone down. Without a mind, it would be near impossible to take her down given how Frieren has buffs that can avoid a lot of issues but the strategy element that Frieren and company can have might be enough to have a chance here. Others have given up in Ebel, others are still ongoing through the dungeon with some managing to beat their own clones in different ways. It is in general, an interesting way of testing the potential of these candidates given how strong they need to be to tackle this dungeon and be worthy of the First Class Mage status they are working their asses off for. It will be fascinating seeing how Frieren's clone can be defeated considering how strong and near invincible/overpowered Frieren actually is. Especially fascinated in how the others like Fern, Denken, Methode, etc. can play key parts in overcoming this massive obstacle with their parts. Secret room scene was brief but decent, even if anime-original. Also loved how much Fern was overprotective and lowkey jealous of Frieren for once after Methode hugged Frieren and even was staring close to Frieren's face previously. Her hugging Frieren to not let her go was pretty cute and shows how much Frieren matters to her in a very normal scene. In a way, it is fitting for this show. A little bit slow but still interesting to watch, some fun and great looking action sequences interspersed in different places, solid world building and nice characters as a whole. Maybe a bit anticlimactic I can imagine for some people that might feel disappointed with the lack of big time action involving clone Frieren given last week's cliffhanger but this episode was still very solid and served as good buildup for next week. |
| Cool ep, but I don't get why Fern said that she can beat Frieren. Any explanations for that? Or shes just being confident? |
| I would throw a Mimic against Frieren.... |
 |
| Fern being jealous of Frieren was so cute. |
 |
| They make exploring the dungeon look so fun. Frieren even having the experience to discover a hidden room. Land and Ubel are such an interesting pair, too. I'd like to see more of them. |
| Lmao. Denken and the others didn't have a chance against fake Frieren. So they retreated. This also means we're not gonna see anyone fight that thing until the next episode. But I guess it's a bit more interesting that the actual Frieren and Fern got to see that thing and will fight it too. Pretty ballsy of Fern to say she can kill Frieren. Even if it's the fake one. But I guess that's to be expected from a pupil who's set to surpass her master. It got me pumped ngl. All the other fights in the episode were good too. Especially Ubel and Land fighting the fake Ubel. They have a weirdly good chemistry together. Frieren discovering that hidden room was cool. I wonder if she'll receive some sort of prize for that even if she didn't pass the exam. She deserves it. |
| Idk if it’s a lack of stark but these last few episodes ain’t been hitting for me personally. |
Reply to ParayBR
I haven't read the book, so I don't consider this a spoiler. It's just a funny thought that occurred to me, but dealing with this Frieren's copy might be easier than it seems. All you had to do was invoke a mimic. When he gets the replica, just finish it. XD
| @ParayBR These were exactly my thoughts, lol. |
  |
| Should be an easy fight with Frieren there, what is the point? If the dungeon can copy someone as powerful as Frieren, why bother with weaker clones? No point to that. |
| Haha, Fern's pouting when that mature-looking mage was hugging Frieren. Also, as someone else said, Sein would've been excited for that mature mage. The way that Fern described killing Frieren (the clone of course) and real Frieren smiling about it before saying let's come up with a strategy was also funny. |
| Only way to keep Frieren busy is to fight against her copy:D Hyped for next week! |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| "hypnosis and restraining magic isnt working, odd, there isnt a big diference in mana" frieren:  |
| As I thought. Now it's Frieren vs Frieren, with Fern penetration testing. Wait and see. |
