I know the whole wherlos/eisen deal kinda bilnded people of the actual peak fight that stark will have in the arc. To be clear, I'm not saying he will not fight wherlos, but i don't think he will be the main fight for him either.

Schritt, on the other hand, has some striking parallels with stark with the whole hands shaking if she doesn't drink before a fight, plus her being a redhead just like stark may be a hint of them being related somehow maybe same clan or even from his village.

Just think about it. Stark clearly suffers from survivor guilt since he abandoned his village that day, so her being another survivor of rivale's assault opens up a very interesting thread for stark as a character to progress, more Stoltz and we may get some lore about the reason rivale attacked the village. I think it also matches chronologicaly? with gorilla starting his journey, so maybe he found her and then became known as siblings.

I'm really enjoying how the shadow warriors, the best of the best warriors of the empire, quickly recognise how busted stark is, and how annoying it'd be to maneuver around him (before proceeding to whoop him regardless) but point still stands.

I see a lot of people claiming serie will surely live through the assassination because frieren will somehow solve everything. Genuinely, how? Like what is frieren supposed to do against someone with future sight that kept killing serie of all people over and over again.

The only thing i have in mind is through her connection to the party of heroes, maybe convince wherlos to stop what he is about to do for the plan, the sein/ kreis connection, or maybe a talk no jutsu moment with löwe since through her it's the closest for us to get a löwe/himmel interaction (doubt this works though, the guy is determined).

And of course, she is doing it in the most roundabout way ever. Can't you be honest for once.

Also, the way she looks sad when asking frieren if she can see a future where she dies, it's like she wants her to deny it as a way to go against what she knows will happen.
