Frieren's Mana Suppression (Discovered By Others) | Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

From Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
From Episodes 10, 11 and 27.

Chronologically, Flamme and Serie obviously knew Frieren was suppressing her mana a millennium before the defeat of the Demon King, but besides them, Heiter was the first one to discover Frieren's fluctuations.

I suppose that, technically, Serie was still technically correct with her assessment that only Lernen and the Demon King discovered Frieren's mana fluctuations at first glance, as Heiter only realized after a few years of traveling with her.

Freiren basically smurfing for 1000 years.

"I've spent my entire life being a loot goblin, now this state is natural to me!" Frieren the Mimic Feed

People constantly underestimate Heiter because of how monstruous his partners were, but he was the only being besides the Demon King and Lernen who noticed Frieren was suppressing her mana. And if you read the manga, you will know that his ability to resist curses from great demons is even greater than Frieren and Himmel. He is easily the most powerful priest we have seen in the series, and he was also a skilled mage on his own. He built Fern's staff himself and taught her the basic offensive spell.

Frieren is pretty much Dwight. "I can raise and lower my mana aura whenever i want." Why would you want to lower your mana? "So that i can raise it"

[alexboi]

I love that serie says it's impractical and pointless but she also does it

[nyu]

This is one of what makes this series interesting.
Hiding one's power is something many anime protagonist did and so this isn't a new idea and just a cliche.
However the reasoning is slightly deeper, the enemy isn't a haughty human noble who looks down on others simply because their power seems weak, the enemy is a race whom, to their core, believe that mana is directly related to strength and thus can dominate others and you SHOULD showoff your power so that others won't dominate you, which is why hiding one's strength is something that never crossed in their mind and why that is their weaknesses.

I also love the fact that in that last scene, he couldnt detect her surpressing her mana (even though he could see frierens), but during the exam fern could see her fluctuations, showing how she has a very keen eye, showing why she passed the exam

[CCCW]

0:28 Lügner is basically like "Wait.. she looks like she has 100 Mana, but has used a Spell that cost 20 mana far more than 5 times... ohshi.."

[Beckwourth]

1:30 the ability to sense the mana flux from frieren as Heiter is actually insane, if he met with Serie she would've 100% taken him in as her student.

[aaronhauth]

I've spent my entire life mewing, now this state is natural to me

[jairo]

Unrelated but,
Serie remembering her students is one of the most, if not the most heartwarming scene i have ever seen in anime.

[ripLunarBirdCLH]

Actually deceiving your enemy is neither impractical nor pointless.

[adhennakbar]

seiren is such tsundere
she is also supressing her own mana and get recognise by fren first glance

[clrthnu]

Could you imagine a scenario where Frieren is sleeping or otherwise incapacitated, and she releases her control unintentionally?

Imagine you're just your average low level demon minding your own business, when all of a sudden you feel the equivalent of a small sun appearing a few miles away from you.

[JojoJoget]

Fact that demons can’t fathom the concept of suppressing mana

[kevintherumble]

As a wise man one said:
Mana suppression is like holding in your poop

[Silentguy_]

It was such a cool reveal to know that, despite what she said about suppressing mana being useless, Serie is actually suppressing her gargantuan mana as well AND the only person to ever catch on is Fern.

[MikMoen]

Frieren seems like the type of girl that would break everyone's heart cause she just doesn't care, and she'll outlive them all anyway.

[scrawnyclownsnatch]

"You're a disgrace to all mages"
If being a renowned mage means being where you are now, on the ground about to die, then I'll take being a disgrace any day.
