There are only 2 confirmed mages that we know of that bested Frieren, so let’s breakdown all the clues of what we can gather about the other 9!

In this video breakdown, we discuss all the clues as to who defeated Frieren, from demons, elves, humans and the possible time frame that it could have taken place.

In chapter 37 as the beginning of the First-Class Mage Exam was about to take place, Frieren explained to Fern that mana alone isn’t what makes a mage “strong.” There are various other factors well beyond how long you’ve lived and the mana you’ve accumulated that actually makes you the most powerful. Out of all the mages that took down Frieren, there were 4 demons, 6 humans and 1 elf. While many consider one of the strongest living mages of the past 1000+ years, there are actually quite of few formidable mages that have the skill set to beat her.

Kanehito hasn’t revealed many demons or elves, so we discuss all the ones that we are aware of and their capabilities. There are even time periods and organizations discussed like the Continental Magic Association and the Court of the Sacred Staff as it relates to the Holy Emblem or Holy Symbol—that coincides with being called a “Great Mage,” that is of great interest. When it comes to humans, we can’t necessarily pinpoint the “who,” but we can certainly look at all the clues of when Frieren herself even admitted that there were plenty of mages stronger than her.
