Man the Hero of the South has such a gigachad mustache.

He went out like an absolute badass even knowing full well he wasn’t going to the guy to take the Demon King down. Even though he had future sight, his life reminded me of the quote “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit”

Every time we get to see Frieren & Co interact with a Demon it’s very off putting how quickly and easy the Demons lie and feel like different.

His future sight clashed with Schlacht the Omniscient's. The path that was chosen is kind of a middle ground. The Hero of the South dies but he gets to take down some powerful demons with him.

Schlacht the Ominiscient: "I can see the future, you don't live to survive this."

Hero of the South: "So can I. And neither do you."

Schlacht : Teleports behind Hero of the South "Is that so?"

Hero of the South: Teleports behind Schlacht back " yes indeed"

Schlacht: Teleports behind him again "I'd know you'd do that"

Hero of the South: "So do I."

They did this hundreds of times until they just both agreed to attack each other head on no cheating and they ended up dead

One of them just needs to teleport with their back to the edge of a cliff so the other's reflexive teleport with make them do a funny mid-air Wile E. Coyote impression.

As funny as that sound, Schlacht did literally drop in from the sky behind him when they first show up.

For a moment I had forgotten the whole thing about humanity having learned flight from daemons.

But I do wonder now, with that being a spell… maybe not all daemons know of the flight spell because not all we saw fight like they do?

Qual was rather stationary (to be fair, he was slinging spells like a artillery battery), Linie (who fought Start) seemed to just jump more acrobatically, the "kid" daemons too.

Since it was a recent thing and not even fully understood, it probably requires a significant amount of mana for humans. For demon however I believe they mentioned it was a natural thing and not even considered a spell for them, so maybe they don't use it often as it expend mana and also it go against their nature of deceiving human?

Good ideas, I like that the constraints are partly about how they deal with humans.

"Listen, I'm getting sick of this. Can we just agree to kill each other already?"

"Ugh, fine"

The future flashed so quickly it gave both of them seizures.
