I was just thinking, the dragon is probably like.. "dude wtf, i thought we had a deal, i left the town alone, you leave me alone.. we had a good thing going."

“Aren’t you gonna shoot, it’ll kill me” “Bro you solo’d it.”

You can tell the two first attacks were to keep Stark away. The dragon absolutely didn’t want Stark to come close

Stark: "You old hag" Frieren: It's already dead. Stark: The dragon? Frieren: No you. "Zoltraak"

Stark's teacher, Eisen, is unimaginably strong. How strong? He got hit by a dragon's tail and was launched an incredible distance and when he hit the ground it left a crater. He was completely unharmed. Eisen's only reaction was basically "Dragons are pretty strong". *And Eisen finds Stark's strength the be terrifying.*

"A dragon is an intelligent creature, it won't pick a fight with a powerful opponent for no reason." The thing Frieren says mirrors something that Stark said to her when she said why she wanted the grimoire. "A Solar Dragon isn't something you pick a fight with 'for no particular reason!'" Stark and the dragon are mirrors of each other. Two powerful beasts staring each-other down from their respective nests, each unwilling to engage in an unnecessary battle to the death. They're even both red.

I love the way his introduction was presented. You first get introduced to Stark like he's some hero who fearlessly fought a dragon. Then it gets revealed that no he's a coward and a fraud, and THEN you get revealed HE is so strong even Eisen was fucking afraid of him, EISEN, the man who could jump 2000 feet off a mountain on a freefall, land on his head and be unscathed, is afraid of Stark. But the truth is he is STILL a coward, but he then eventually learned to overcome that cowardice nature and proved that his rumored unfathomable strength to be correct. What a fucking rollarcoaster. And funny thing is the narrative never lied, only making vague enough statements to be bendable through context. Writing is superb. 🔥

My guy has everything it takes to be the strongest warrior but self esteem. Literally only thing prevented him oneshotting the dragon was imposter syndrome. 😭

stark thinking he could be even in the same city as "weak" is amazing bro one shot a dragon

Never thought I would be able to watch an action scene with a dragon all in 2d, no CGI..... They handled it sooooo welll

@1:06 Imagine swinging so hard to break a dragon's claw that you get kept afloat midair from the shockwave of the impact. That's friggin crazy.

Love how Freren never forgets stark calling him an old hag lol.

Ngl i love how his running animation looked. Characters usually ninja-run or dash forward in a flash in anime fight sequences, but the guy was running like hes competing in the olympics. A really nice touch tbh

That shot and animation between 1:16 to 1:19 was amazing.

Fun fact! Frieren told Stark to hold the dragon off for 30 seconds which is exactly how long the fight lasted from the first blow in 1:06 to the final one in 1:36.

I like the idea that Stark is already built different,but his mentality is what holds him back. So layer by layer he starts getting more confident and unleashing more of his true potential,combo that with the many people teaching him new skills along his journey and he might become the most legendary warrior of that world.

I love how no kind of slow motion of some kind was used to display build up of something, which made it last exactly 30 sec, which was Frieren's instruction to Stark. The fluidity of the fight was next level

When you grind 3 days to prepare for a boss fight and hit it once to just fall on the spot.

Frieren's previous party have already had outstanding members. A priest with really strong holy magic, a dwarf with unparallel endurance and strength, and the hero as a human defeating a Demon King for the first time. But their disciples have even more potential. They only lack experience.

this "old hag" was so personal lmao

Nakamura, Yamashita, Watanabe, Yoshihara and Chris being in the same episode literally made me scream like a girl

I felt the panic from 1:45 to 1:57 like she was going to make some point about him needing to fight his own battles but it was kinda better than that because it was the trope of him being stronger than he realized but without the putting him in mortal danger as a training tactic.

Frieren: Why did you hit him? Eisen: He provoked my Attack of Opportunity. Frieren: ... Eisen: ... Frieren: Fighters...

I love how when Stark and the Dragon met, they were both so petrified of each other! 😂 Dragon - "Ight I'm out," Stark - "Holy fuck that's a Dragon,"

Goosebumps! Knowing your apprentice will become greater than yourself is every teachers dream

I adore the transition between the two songs here. We start with "Fear Brought me This Far", which is very much Stark's theme, a song about courage in the face of pissing-yourself fear, but the moment Stark starts *winning* , We switch to "Zoltraak", which is usually Frieren or Fern's theme for when they're kicking ass, but Stark gets to share it this time. Both songs are absolutely incredible, but I love their use to change the emotion of the moment on a dime, from "This dragon is terrifying, but Stark is facing his fears anyway." to "Nah, ya boi's got this, he just doesn't know it yet."

Now imagine how OP himmel was during his prime. My man blitz through aura's demon army

Finally, an anime that shows how to really defeat a dragon without breaking some rules of that universe

1:16 - 1:20 This shot is absolutely incredible (The whole scene is like 99% drawn entirely by hand! Blows my mind)

it must be my 20th time watching this and I just can't stop. The music, the pride in the teachers statement, the sens of adventure and the whimsical feeling that this is only the beginning. Great show and great scene.

Both the animation and soundtrack are fantastic!

They dont need to go hard on this one, this particular scene has only 1 panel yet they overdid it. Man, whoever behind the Choreo and the Animation Team. WP!

What’s crazy is stark hits the dragon and on impact he sends himself flying. That just goes to show how much raw power he has

Remember folks, the dragon didn't even want to fight Stark. But it did because of how terrified it was of his strength.

Is Madhouse trying to bring back their forgotten glory? I'm not disappointed with this anime.

two things I like this scene, 1. they used an "accurate" dragon 4 legs and wings instead of the two legs and wings/legs that make up a wyvern. 2. in the anime I have noticed that while elves, drawves, and demons are stronger than humans, humans procreated far faster, and progress far faster than any of the other races, allowing for prodigies to be born like fern, stark and flamma(probably spelled her name wrong sorry). I kind of like this idea because it perfectly sums up the idea of the humans hero/champion that will take on unimaginable challenges the likes no one else could

this is what my cat sees when he's trying to climb on me when I'm getting ready for work

The camera angles are insane. Of course the animation is top notch as well. I'm so glad I trusted the people that told me this anime is good and stuck through the slow burn.

I like how Frieren knew Stark was very powerful and just stands with a little smile when she sees him in action.

Just tell me one thing this anime lacking ost, opening, animation, wholesome, action, drama, romance, fantasy, storyline,background score everything is just top notch truly a masterpiece 🥺

One thing that I really admire about the Japanese is how the music in all their soundtracks always goes so hard.

1:15 Love the animation. Seeing Stark's hair and clothing whip in all directions from a snoricam as the dragon tries to shake him off was an excellent decision.

1:16 looks so freaking cinematic. Frieren is upto a bunch of awards this year.

1:16 peak of cinematography here! its like how standstill camera view likes. I LIKE IT!

I’m ngl the way this anime inserts commentary, music and flashbacks during fights before a final blow or big moment is INSANE. By far my favorite anime I’ve watched in a while

I love this show, the way it gets the nature of things and the psychology in every race on how they would be if they existed.

I love the little details in this. The dragons pupils dilate right before stark lands his final strike. *For those who don't know that's what happens right after dying* just the force from his strike. It shows just how strong he truly is.

Stark can hold onto his axe and his own bodyweight while being flung around by a dragon almost a 100 times bigger than him using only his fingers and some medieval boots

This moment is so wholesome and emotive that I think I watched it too many times. The moment Frieren smiles proudly when she realises what Eisen meant when he told her about Stark is priceless. This anime is beyond other animes. Thank you so much Fred for recommending me this piece of art.

I don't think I have ever seen a dragon fight animated and choreographed quite like this

This is the episode that really got me hooked on the show

It seems that while Eisen and Stark are both "warriors" Eisen is actually really very tank focused. He can just jump off cliffs no issue and was unharmed by a dragons tail. Stark on the other hand can't do those things but his axe swing is unimaginably strong. That's why Stark terrified Eisen: he realized his student is so strong that he could actually seriously damage even Eisen who's basically immortal and has directly faced unharmed basically every kind of monster. And we see that here with Stark just cutting down a literal dragon. (they're both really fast though)

Just a simple animation in a wholesome fantasy slice of life anime. No really, this is such a polished show. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm a jjk fan but this truly deserves aoty

Funny how stark dint realize he killed the dragon until freiren says its already dead.

This 30 secs was one of the best fights Ive seen in animation.

This was the scene I knew this show was an instant classic.

i loved how stark holding his axe on neck while charging. the physics on this anime is working.

The best part about this whole fight is how bamboozled the dragon and stark both were. The dragon obv didn’t expect to die and stark thought HE himself was gonna die. Then frieren is just like “he’s dead dude”

that "Kuso-baba" is filled with so much hate. I love it

Bruh. You could tell right from the get go that that Dragon wanted non of that. He was not ready for the smoke.

The music bro is so good

Oddly enough, that…………..didn’t quite last as long as I expected it to be. Still, I gotta admit. That was quite the cool fight there!

I keep coming back to this scene it’s so beautifully set up animation aside Eisen’s VA line delivery is so well done I find myself quoting it at random while walking around at work 😂

It is pretty cool that his battle is even more popular than the battle with Frieren vs Draht.

yutaka nakamura's work is simply unmatched. beautiful key animation!

The detail of the dragons fire as starts from it's chest until it actually shoots is such a nice touch

Damn Madhouse, blessing us again with that beautiful animation

1:06 goes hard

When Himbo locks in

i liked that this clip is not just flashy and messy like most of animation nowadays do, this clip was very smooth and clean

I love this show. It’s usually this bitter sweet take about finding connections and reflecting on your last but then it has epic fights like this

Can I get an order of "Oops, I just solo'd the dragon" achievement!

Looking back at the mages exam and stark here, it kind of escapes you that stark could probably pulverize every single mage in that exam without much problem.

I really like how the episode here extended the fight more than the manga.

Perfect edit cut at the end!

I feel bad for Eisen😢 he wanted to make Stark strong as a Warrior so badly that his body moved on its own to hurt his student😢. Can’t imagine how heart wrenching it would be. But it gave me chills when Eisen said his apprentice will become an incredible warrior.

Me being melee lvl 30 when I fought the dragon lvl 40 in Dark Souls and my mage friend lvl 120 left me alone in the cooperative

Nice fluid animation, pretty cool.

Deep into the Series I still wonder why nobody calls him Stark the Dragonslayer yet

1:14 OMG..EPIC ANIMATION BACK THERE..U CAN EVEN FEEL YOURSELF IN THERE.

Whens the OST released? I love the soundtrack

Dang that was some really nice smooth animation there😮

this is what sold me on frieren, its so cool looking

Everyone impressed by starks strength im even more impressed by his axe bro got unbreaking ♾️

That dragon was secretly shitting his pants the entire time

Stark not realizing his strength is the biggest point of humility I've seen from any character. He is a monster.

This is one of my favorite scenes in all the anime ngl

Stark playing Switch Axe, using ZSD to break the Dragon's face while Frieren and Fern watch.

This is genuinely one of my favorite fights in anime, period. But I want to elaborate. First of all, the Dragon is afraid of Stark, but that’s not just something we can tell because Frieren said so. If you look at its moves, they all seem to scream “No, you stay the fuck away from me and my vital organs you motherfucker”. But they’re foils of each other, Stark is afraid of the Dragon too, likely proportionally more scared than the Dragon as he is more powerful than it. They never use slow motion between the first hit and the last, so it shows it lasted exactly 30 seconds, which is exactly how long Frieren asked him to hold it off, and he went above and beyond that. The length of time a seasoned adventurer asked him to hold off a Dragon, is how long he took to fucking KILL it. Don’t forget, it’s his FIRST TIME FIGHTING A MONSTER. The fact that the dragon left the village as a “fuck this” move, and then we were made to believe that it just didn’t feel like it at the time, then it was re-revealed that, actually, yeah, the dragon saw him and was like, “fuck that shit, I’ll come for this town when old age takes him I suppose”, is just such a crazy turn of events that’s one of my favorite rollercoaster rides in the entire anime. This scene and this fight, are so brief, and yet show the immense potential of Stark, and as incredible as the rest of the show is, they have yet to give him a showing as dope as this one. The pace of the rest of the show being so much slower than this I think is a choice to further illustrate the point that he fucked the dragon up in NO TIME, hitting it like, 3 times total maybe? I mean, smaller monsters have gotten more time to shine I’d bet. All of that’s to say, I can’t wait until we see a bit more focus on Stark, if we ever do, and I’d love to see him at his peak, and if he ever becomes as durable as Eisen, he’ll likely be the greatest warrior who ever frontlined. Truly, I think the greatest tragedy is that the demon king was dead before the kid was born, because I’d love to see the party eventually fight something so terrifying, and I want them to fight something that surpasses even the Hero’s Party.

this is literally what i picture in my mind's eye when i'm playing Monster Hunter

that shot of stark hanging onto the dragon is incredible

Am I the only one who got goosebumps during this scene?

OK this anime looks incredible

That was one of the most epic scenes ive ever seen in an anime

man the sentiment behind that "old hag" never fails to crack me up, what a good VA

This guy is literally monster who surpassed his teacher that consider dragons as teen

animator "so how much budget and time should we put into this scene?" director "yes."

This is the episode that all started my journey to “The Journey Beyond”

I knew this was gonna happen, even when he "revealed" that he was a weak coward. The animation was so good, you could tell even in stark's flashback that the dragon was shitting itself at how strong stark was
