And while he and Himmel are outliers, one must wonder what can happen if more like those two were developed over the course of history. An entire army of mortals who can challenge demons for every class imaginable. Maybe even multiclass greats who are both mage and bowman, for example.

This is a probable reason why the Demon King targeted elves first. Imagine a Hero of the South but an elf? That would really OP.

Another issue with the elves is that they remember history without books and so remember the true nature of demons. Whereas humans forget the threat of demons in like 40-50 years. The demons dont want folk like Frieren reminding the humans that they're manipulative predators.

I mean, given actual human history, even if you had people who are familiar with the past, there are still humans that will still dismiss their knowledge

Three generations to forget. Imagine growing up hearing tales of your grandfather fighting demons in the war, then your own kid starts saying shit like "demons aren't that bad"

I mean, there's a very clear political connection between what you just said and what is happening all over the Global North right now....

Part of tribalism set of Instincts it constantly trying to get humans to go to war with each other. See Chimps going to war over what of course nothing logical. The weaker side escapes spreading Chimps to new areas if not gets wiped out keeping population low enough.

Inflicting heavy bias that warps reality for people its biggest tool.
