There is a rather large error in the past of the video talking about Frieren. First, he pronounces her name *wrong*. The demon she is fighting in the scene is one of the Demon Generals that got sealed because *the hero party* couldn't defeat him. He is not the Demon King, as Tim claims in the video. Frieren facing her shade/doppelganger is not about her realizing how strong she is. Or how much of a terror she is in a fight. It is more about how, despite being so strong, she still has weaknesses that were common among beginners she just had enough skill and power to normally bypass it.

Also the entire theme of the series (Frieren) is more of a focus on how an immortal can find themselves changed by those around them and how she had changed from her first journey, especially as it is recontextualized by her current journey. She doesn't use laser blasts to win all of her fights, and every fight we see her win she uses a different tactic.
