At first I was upset that Frieren would do something to get her put in jail, but after hearing what she had experienced from her past journey, I understand why she acted the way she did.

Demons and their ability to prey on human's feelings is sickening. Listening to the story Frieren told Stark and Fern really made me think twice about how sympathetic I was in that moment.

I believe the young demon, and then I saw what happened and was upset. Cut to the present and the talk of the death of the Lord's demon father made me feel bad at first, then I realized he was lying.

I can't wait to see what comes next!

Nittpic. Remeber that Frieren was Flamme's student....1000 years ago!. she said it in episode 4. This episode cause a controversy on how Frieren talks about demons. This story don't use the common trope of the "bad guys" has a reason to be bad. Demons in Frieren are like she said, "wild beasts that imitate humans" and some people doesn't like that because they tried to insert real politics in and fantasy show. Also, the main demon's name is Lügner. It means liar in german. Linie means line and Draht means wire.

If you haven't already, you will fall in love with Himmel before the end of season 1, because this man was just too perfect. To have statues made of his party, so everybody will remember that they existed and Frieren wouldn't be the only one to remember them just like she is the only one remembering Flamme, he just heard it once, but decided that for the sake of Frieren, isn't that cute ? Also, yeah, it's now a joke on the internet to call Frieren "racist" because of her opinions on demons, but in her world, she have all the reasons for. Demons are just monsters mimiking humans speech, but not all of them look humans, remember Qual, the demon that created Zoltraak, was sealed by the hero's party and then Frieren and Fern took care of him earlier in the season, he didn't look human at all, but was able to talk and exchange with Frieren. Also, the "stronger than Aura" have so much weight here, because it's episode 7, we know that Frieren isn't the type to brag or joke, so we can assume that she is dead serious saying that, that's what make it hit even harder ^^. Be ready for what come next, because I know you will love it.

Qual, who Frieren unsealed and destroyed in the 3rd ep, was a demon and the group we met this episode are demons. Frieren’s definition of a demon is a monster that speaks the human language. They come in all shapes and sizes. However, what makes them different than monsters is they try to use language to manipulate—usually to deceive in some shape or form. As far as Frieren’s age, I won’t tell you because it will be revealed later, but they have hinted at how old she is a few times already.

We often use stories - sci-fi is famous for this, but fantasy works too - to make parables or metaphors about the real world. One really common one is the idea that another species that seems evil or monstrous is just another kind of person that merits peace and understanding, and this stands in for all sorts of "others" in the real world - other creeds or religions, other races, gays, disabled people, foreign chauvinists, whatever. Frieren subverts this by setting up the same kind of metaphor but then saying "nope, they really are just monsters." Even when we're told that they're inhuman, and shown that they're inhuman, people want to believe there's some humanity in them - just like Himmel and the village chief did. If there's a real-world equivalent, it's probably psychopaths... and while psychopaths are still humans with human rights and that's a line that we rarely want to cross as a society, they're certainly people who you don't want in your life and you will get burned if you trust them, and the worst ones generally end up in prison (or filthy rich) after leaving a trail of victims.

As others have kind of covered, this fantasy universe is different from D&D, here demons is a catch all-term first used by Flamme to define any monsters capable of imitating and understanding human speech, they can have many different appearances. I can't go too deep with this explanation cos there's plenty more you'll learn gradually as the story progresses further. Demons in Frieren are written to play on the story trope of wanting to feel empathy for other creatures with a close to humanoid appearance. In D&D by contrast tieflings are more similar to half-elves in that they have mixed genetics and are partly human in origin. In this world demons are solitary by nature & abandon their young to fend for themselves, their society isn't based on integrating in familial groups and they don't have human emotions. Humans, elves, dwarves and the like are either prey/food or threats, a wild tiger wouldn't try to negotiate with the creatures it hunts and eats. Within fantasy/sci-fi storytelling over the last half century or so there's been a shift to making most creatures/characters be capable of redemption and few things being pure evil, this is partly to compensate for how a lot of stories in these genres from the 1930s and earlier (especially colonial type adventures) would often use other fantasy races as thinly veiled unpleasant allegories for actual racist views and stereotypes. So with these demons that more closely resemble humans we're inclined to internally anthropomorphize their actions and let our guard down. It's actually the one thing that my partner struggles with about the storytelling in Frieren (which she otherwise loves), because she struggles with the concept that they are lack true understanding of our value system, communicate only to deceive & achieve their objectives and are effectively irredeemable. But that's what 20-30yrs of reading lots of other stories where demons aren't just cold, calculating monsters will do. They are not human, they are just other/predators and don't share any mutual values like elves & dwarves.

I wouldn't say that Himmel was perfect, but he was a good man overall, especially in terms of his moral compass; just also ridiculously vain to the extent that he was the type of person who could get caught in a reflection admiring himself.
