How do you feel about DK? (either in general or his relationship w/ Mario)

I just generally think DK's hilarious.

He's the best fighter in his kingdom to the point that he's hailed as a celebrity, and yet he is so fantastically bitter about the fact that he got his ass kicked by a tiny inexperienced man in overalls. Which, frankly, is his own darn fault for being too self confident to use powerups during the fight.

Meanwhile Mario's just... existing. He doesn't even care much that he beat DK, to him it was merely a stepping stone to reach his brother. Mario is just like "good game" and goes out of his way to be nothing but nice, while the entire time the gorilla is FUMING. He desperately wants round two.

I also like the fact that they didn't really bond over any deep conversation or their shared daddy issues, but instead reached a mutual understanding by fighting a common enemy. It gives me hope that Mario and DK will maintain a frenemy vibe in the future, because the way they rub each other the wrong way is so legitimately funny.

On a side note... I also like how friendly DK was to Luigi after first meeting him? Like that accidentally-aggressive elbow nudge when Bowser got put into the jar.

It was a short interaction, but it gave me major "frat boy who makes sure the anxious kid feels included" vibes.

When Sein was first introduced, I was a little worried because I loved the dynamic between Frieren, Fern, and Stark so much, and I thought we didn't need another character potentially messing that up. But, I was worried for absolutely nothing because I fell in love with his character almost immediately and he rounds out the group beautifully. They all play so well off of one another and he really feels like he belongs, even if he was only around for a short while.

I guess the point of all this is that I really miss Sein...

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Episode 13 Review - Wallowing In Past Regrets

I’m amazed Frieren and her current party made it this far without the need of a permanent healer. Had this story been an RPG, I would definitely NOT have gone past the demons if they were bosses. However, there are instances where a healer is needed, which is where Sein comes in. I really liked his introduction with how he just randomly just starts talking about his past to Frieren who was just staring.

I really like the message this episode conveys. Sein has regrets about not following his best friend on his adventures, and believes that he cannot go on adventures now due to his age and jadedness. Fortunately, Frieren was there to tell him that dreams can happen at any age. She herself was much older than her party members when they first recruited her and time had made her forget how to defeat demons, so she felt as if it was too late for her to go. Fortunately, she did go and made history with the hero’s party. Frieren sees herself in Sein and that is why he irritates her a lot.

Sein as a character is very interesting. He’s a very corrupt priest like how Heiter was in the past, but even more so as he drinks, smokes and gambles. Heiter only drank. I do wonder why priests of this universe easily fall victim into bad habits. Sein is rather jaded and is someone with regrets, but also very loyal when it comes to his family, his only brother who is much older than him. He’s also a very talented healer and could heal the poison that Stark had been inflicted with, despite his brother saying it was impossible to cure. Sein is what I believe to be a rather contradictory character as his words and actions don’t match. If he doesn’t want to go on adventures, why is he reminiscing about his best friend? He’s not prepared? Why is he so gosh darn good at healing? It’s like he prepared himself with all the necessary stuff at his disposal, but refuses to take a step forward. Despite his corruptness and jaded personality, he actually clicks very well with Frieren, Fern and Stark; he’s like that missing piece to finally balance out the party; unfortunately, he’s only a temporary party member.

I do like how Sein’s brother is the opposite of Sein. While Sein wallows in past regrets, his brother does not; despite being a talented priest that Heiter even acknowledges, he refused an opportunity to go to the holy city as he liked staying in the village. He hasn’t regretted his choices since then. While Sein is a bit corrupt and has bad habits, his brother is a very kind individual, despite him being a bit harsh towards Stark in the beginning. I just love how the contrast between them is written.

Now, it makes me wonder if Sein’s friend, Gorilla, is alive. I know that if Sein learns about Gorilla’s whereabouts, he’ll leave the party. It makes me wonder who this Gorilla guy is. Is he alive? Is he dead? Did he get married and have kids? I do hope there will be a day that Frieren and her party meet him.

I really like the comedy in this episode; the episode itself is calm and relaxing, but there are so many funny moments. I especially liked the part where Frieren tried to use her age to be the “mature older lady” that Sein liked but failed when executing her hidden technique: a flying kiss. It had NO effect on Sein whatsoever as Frieren looks way too much of a kid for him to find her appealing; the fact that Stark and Fern found it scandalous while it had a HUGE effect on Himmel was so hilarious. Everyone viewed the kiss so differently. I also liked how Stark lost his clothes by gambling; it was cute that Fern didn’t get mad at Stark for gambling, but is mad at Sein for making Stark do it. Fern believing Heiter, another corrupt priest, could do not wrong was also funny; she loved Heiter like a father that he’s the pinnacle and standard of an upstanding priest in her eyes while Frieren and Stark are like “meh”.

Also, one concerning matter is the financial situation of this world. Like how Stark’s favorite Jumbo Berry Special became smaller in the passing years due to inflation, Sein’s village seems to be suffering from the same issue with the tiny bathtub and sickle. His brother says that it’s due to poverty, but is it really? Is there a bigger, underlying issue with the world’s economy?

I do wonder how long Sein will be staying with Frieren and her party. If he does leave, will there be a day he’ll come back or will they look for another priest? I can’t wait to see what more Sein will bring to the story. I really like the dynamics he has with everyone in the party already. What are your thoughts about this episode?
