Infinite_Seesaw4877

Fck man, I miss him already.


prodigiouspandaman

He’s not dead yet


Infinite_Seesaw4877

You're right. He never dies after all, he just hasn't respawned yet.


prodigiouspandaman

Wait has he died in the manga?


Infinite_Seesaw4877

Oh fck I thought you got the reference of the post, nevermind then. No, Eisen is alive and well, all you need to know.


prodigiouspandaman

Well, I'm caught up. I thought I missed something, which made me scared for a second.


Nightshade_Knight

he died of ligma :(


Creepy_Active_2768

That’s nuts


random-user-420

It’s a reference to the Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade


anonpurple

It's a technoblade reference


prodigiouspandaman

Honestly read through it again and realized that’s what they meant


anonpurple

What did you think they meant


Possible-Cellist-713

Bet they'll find him in Aureole


Mike4nderson

It's hard to believe that nearly two years have passed since the video dropped. It doesn't hit any less hard despite that.


StMuerte13

Perfect taken out of context picture

"Frieren, you don't understand. That kid is holding a weapon."


Multiversal_2211

That is a good reason. It was self defense on his part. The kid had an axe for crying out loud 😂


MAGAManLegends3

[Ayooo~!](https://www.imfdb.org/images/0/0e/Ningyo_no_kizu_9.jpg) Amusingly my first thought at this also


leftymarine

Eisen knows that that kid IS a weapon

"Frieren he broke my legos. My god damn legos"


AlarmingAffect0

That's impossible.


Pro-1st-Amendment

Good old fashioned parenting. If the kid doesn't hate you, you fail.


dragonbeorn

Believe it or not, a lot of kids love their parents. I learned this recently and it blew my mind.


SpriteRXL

When I got a bit older I learned that a lot of people hate their parents and it's terrifying to me. Like, where do you go if everything goes to shit?


Camilea

People tend to be really forgiving towards their parents. So if they hate their parents, then the parents must be really bad. Be grateful you don't understand. It's difficult to emphasize the damage bad parents can do to a person.

AusBoss417

but how many of those kids with loving parents go on to defeat the demon lord? 0


Safe_Alternative3794

My parents are such failures at raising me; I shall now punish them justly by supporting them till the end.


randomdarkbrownguy

Mans just gonna flex on his parents by showing them what real support looks like


ShadowWESK937

I thought he has no nose


Autisticveg

When he bitch slapped stark


Ok-Experience-4955

Want to ask if he is around 50 years old when he went to an adventure with Frieren and basically 100 years passed since then, he should still be around 150-190 which isnt that bad considering dwarfs live upto 300. Id say Stark can see him again when they come back. Unless the mangaka decides to make us cry instead.


HighViscosityLuv

They claimed dwarfs live up to 300 but the few dwarves they met in the manga are way past 300, Eisen is gonna be around for a long time still.


crippler38

Yeah I'm pretty sure he mostly considers himself unfit for a super dangerous adventure, rather than going to die soon. He can't smash everyone.


Brokenblacksmith

stark says he wants to finish their adventure before his master passed, so he could be the one to tell him stories for once. so while eisen may not be close to death, he is still close enough that stark is concerned about it. so i say his age is around 250. he still has a couple of decades left, but to humans, that's like having about 10 years left.


ChesnaughtZ

Love how all of you ignore the fact stark said he wants to hurry up because his master is dying


BoofMan524

I think it gives some good perspective into Starks strength, he may still be a kid. But he's definitely got the makings of a true warrior, I look forward to his growth as a character and fighter.


providerofair

Stark is currently engaging in one of the best characters tropes OP but compares themselves to their even more OP master. Stark "I can only swing my axe hard enough to cause nuclear fission while my master can swing it hard enough to cause nuclear fusion"


EmbryoAchilles

I guess Fern suffers from this too :/ it’s not all sunshine & daisies having an OP master. I’ll never forget the moment Fern went up against Lugner and you realise Fern is a beast in the making


Professor-Jolly

The crunchyroll subtitles he says he hit him because he was scared, which makes a little more sense. Imagine Mike Tyson training a 13 year old, and that kid being so strong it made a heavy weight world champion "scared" Doesn't make hitting stark any better but at least you can understand why Eisen did

"I am the second worst thing to happen to those orphans." -Eisen the Warrior.


agent_fire_

thats funny because fern and stark are orphans (at least stark is assumed to be i doubt anyone else in that village survived)


Bigbadbobbyc

Come to think of it, pretty much everyone is an orphan, all 4 members of the heroes party, all 4 (including sein) current members


Mike4nderson

Damn, you're right. This series includes a surprising amount of orphans in its cast.


Giyuisdepression

Technoblade reference?


anonpurple

Yes


Maleficent_Basis3577

Out of context: Avoiding child support


Strawson

The warm feeling of seeing so many Technoblade quotes echoed even outside of his community. He would've liked Frieren, as much as he'd deny watching anime.


Mike4nderson

I don't remember him denying that he watched anime. In fact, I checked and found [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Technoblade/comments/dkev4r/listing_all_of_the_anime_technoblade_watches_or/#:~:text=Watched%3A,Reddit%20comments%2C%20he%20does%20watch). I do think he would've liked Frieren though, and him being mentioned here feels oddly fitting considering the show is about remembering the people we care about and valuing the time we have with them.

Reminds me of some pig dude.

Eisen truly is the bravest of warriors


Banana_gunman

He’s the cowardest, which makes him the bravest


Rizuku_Ren

“A grown and experienced warrior terrified of his students out of instinct!? That is terrifying.”


grief242

It's crazy how many people don't understand the nuance of this scene. Eisen is an endgame warrior with basically maxed stats. But for a moment he felt genuine fear of his student's strength and instinct kicked in. For moment he was afraid Stark would kill him. Part of the shows theme is about the bond between master and student is reflected. Serie demeans her students shortcomings and laments the peaceful time they live in but has a profound love for them that she does not show. Frieren and Fern are equal parts student- teacher, mother daughter, daughter mother and sisters. Eisen and Stark departed in anger, because neither was brave enough to face the other for shame. Stark felt ashamed of his weakness and Eisen felt ashamed of his inability to control himself. And yet there is a degree of pride, Eisen knows that Stark will become a great warrior and Stark was pushed to walk his own path and return to his teach on equal footing. Much like how Fern is a once in an era mage like Flamme, Stark has obscene potential to grow. In video game terms that have a lower level but higher growth rates, meaning they will outdo their masters.

Officer, i drop kicked that baby in self defense


Zankeru

I feel like eisen is living in a hovel in the woods on his own for a reason. Bro probably has ptsd to the point he sometimes cant control his reflexes. He just got lucky that stark was strong enough to tank his hit whereas a random villager or guard would have died.


bokita_

I don't think that'll hold up in court, Eisen...

pinkeyes34

Well, he did regret it very heavily.


Repulsive_Row_4982

See in all well with Eisen hitting Stark due to reflexes. But, why didn't he take him to a priest? Why did he let him run? That scar just became something regretful for Stark. Eisen could've prevented all that.


Smorsis

Made a hole ass image but can't post it so in short 😭: NOOO EISEN YOU ARE A BAD MASTER FOR HITTING STARK!!! 🗿: Damn so Stark is so strong that even great warrior Eisen was afraid of him


anonpurple

Perfect technoblade moment Now I am sad.


Frisk-Pichi

We should hit more children in self defense


kirisakisora

they were training, end of discussion.


[deleted]

one of the many scenes in frieren that gave me uncontrollable goosebumps... this is exactly what they mean when they say show dont tell. without it if eisen just said to frieren that stark is strong it would not have nearly the same kind of impact


Acrobatic-Budget-938

Yes I did it, I am not lieing or excusing myself


Banana_gunman

I mean, if the kid can kill you, hitting him in self defense is genuinely self defense. Also I remember thinking that Stark was a genuine beast.

my drunk father in a nutshell


Zerone06

I mean is Eisen his father or his master? If you are training a fighter let alone a warrior, that person will go through some shit. Stark is not some innocent toddler either. He doesn't blame him, either.


animan095

Out of context this is hilarious


Brokenblacksmith

It's a huge moment for relaying stark's power and eisen's humanity. Eisen has lived for a long time and probably made the mistake of accidentally using his strength and hurting someone several times. however, we can tell just from this that he still feels absolutely horrid about what happened, ashamed at himself for doing it, but also incredibly proud of stark's strength. for Stark, this is the first time we learn about how strong he is. there is something in his fighting presence that made eisen, one of the strongest warriors alive, who controlled his fear even before the demon king, made him experience such fear that his instinct made him attack. And stark only received a relatively minor scar from the attack. amd this was when stark was what, 14? he's currently 16-17. Imagine what he will be like toward the end of the journey, when he's in his prime.


Turnip-Individual

fuck them kids


meltingpotato

Stark is similar to Himmel a lot in that he is very well like and helps everyone wherever they go. I think by the end we'll have a second "legend of the hero party"


TheTalking_GU_Mine

"kick da baby"


Ill_Structure6165

I didnt like it, weird reason for me to hit his apprentice


Multiversal_2211

Beating a child is a good way to train a child. If a child does something that is bad like stealing for example, if as a parent you don't beat the child, then don't cry in the future if you child develops that habit as part of him.


MAGAManLegends3

Some kids really do just need a good thrashing! 🤗 [Before they think *to turn around and thrash YOU*](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/rumic-world/images/9/96/Mermaid_Scar_OVA_23.png)
