himmel defeating the demon king, the strongest demon ever, with a regular weapon is one of the most badass stuff I've ever heard.

[knodel]

The demon king being defeated by a fake hero, a corrupt priest, a cowardly warrior and a disgraceful mage is really poetic.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Becoming a legendary hero out of spite and then making the guy who spited you work with you is just way too accurate.

[Truck-kun]

Himmel did not give up even after receiving magical confirmation that he was not the "True Hero" and went on to defeat the Demon King with pure skill alone. If that isn't hero behavior, I don't know what is.

[dreyfrano]

Himmel defeating the Demon King with a fake sword is pretty impressive. However, I am even more impressed that his party still chose to go into battle with him against the Demon King knowing he didn't wield the Hero's sword. That is true loyalty and camaraderie right there.

[Emptyman]

Voice acting is so soothing in this anime. Especially Himmel's and Frieren's voice actors had done a great job to give calm and peaceful vibe. Also, I cannot forget about music, plot, characters and animations. Everything is perfect with this series.

Correction: a fake sword but a true hero

He might not have been the chosen one but he still proved himself as an undeniable hero

[ReverseEsper]

The funniest part is that a blacksmith who created that fake sword, knows that his sword defeated demon lord, and no one would ever believe him. ( They've meet before)

[Hitacha]

I believe the reason Himmel couldn't draw the hero's sword is that the blade recognized Himmel had no need for it. Instead of being not "Worthy".

[richardbarton]

You know after seeing a lot of self proclaimed heroes in animes it is nice to see a real hero like himmel.

[tylergoodman]

A sword doesn't make a hero, a hero makes a sword. 🎉

"Given the real thing and an indistinguishable fake, which is worth more? The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more "real" than the real thing."

[coltonwilliams]

I’ll bet that the sword took one look at Himmel, and said, “Nah, you got this kid. No need for me to do anything.”

[MuchaMaksim]

them freaking cuts start at 00:50 are freaking beautiful.

[RealRameshBabu]

Started as casual watch, but after the first two episodes, realized that this is not the typical fantasy anime, it's more than that

[lizardlordk]

Swords don't make heroes great, it's how they use them

[al]

This is one my favourite parts about the story so far. It goes to show you make your own destiny. Himmel, despite appearing superficial at the beginning, shows a surprising amount of depth and emotional intelligence, convincing me why the other three chose to follow his leadership.

[fakename]

The best part about Hero Himmel’s story is that by defeating the demon king with a fake sword, he made it a real hero’s sword, thereby leaving the sword with two true hero’s swords... albeit only one actually possesses outstanding characteristics aside from being a hero’s weapon!

[Truck-kun]

If the prophecy that a "True Hero" will pull the sword from the stone really is true, I wonder who it is intended for now that the Demon King has been defeated.
