I agree the anime is hard, actually I find the manga hard too 😅 so many words I don’t come across regularly enough elsewhere My gut feeling was you got something around volume 7-8? I attempted to search your log but discourse can’t cope with the thousands of messages 😋 the latest on your log I found was ch 59 (vol 7) in March last year. Anyway, what I do in these situations is page through until things look totally surprising, back up a bit and jump back in. That would be fun to read Frieren updates on your log again! ---

> **Chapter 111** > > Heiter’s contribution in battle was interesting in this chapter. I’d kind of thought of him mainly as the healer of the party and for countering curses. But he has a really cool role in blocking the arrow attack in this battle. I feel like we’ve seen him glimpses of him in flashbacks with his scriptures open and engaged in battle, but it’s nice seeing the detail of the original party that we’re getting at the moment. > > Also interesting thinking about the differences between the party then and Frieren’s party now. Now they have two mages, only one warrior and no priest. Although I’m still holding on that Kraft or Sein is going to make a reappearance at some point. ---

These are rather poignant scenes, especially in this chapter where there’s a bit of tenderness from Frieren noticing more about Himmel. I liked Heiter’s comment about trusting Himmel more than himself > > ![1000000666](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/5/0/8/508aecadb5d3d99627f028419e1dcbfe4cf11807.jpeg) ---

> **Chapter 112** > > That was crazy, how did Frieren not know that Heiter and Himmel were from the same village? After all their years of travel. It’s a real reminder that the Frieren we know now is so different to the one who travelled with the hero party. Also, well done on catching up! You seemed to fly through the chapters! ---
