Bam! Translation time! Graf Granat translates to 'Count Garnet', a reference to how he's a rich man, I suppose (not really sure on that one). The demon Lügner translates to 'liar'. I'll just let that one explain itself.

In my opinion, I like how this show handles “demons.” It’s funny, at this point in a lot of literature it’s become kind of a troupe that demons are misunderstood, or nuanced creatures. That they’re like us but just a bit different. I like how here, they’re objectively opposed to humanity. It’s refreshing to see, while also a bit funny that this is now probably seen as a subversion rather than the norm. With regards to the demons, I think it becomes tricky because their appearance and speech can sometimes even work in fooling the audience into thinking that they’re more than meets the eye. However, they’re more akin to a lion or some other beast than human. One of the demons’ skillset however is the ability to speak rather than having large teeth or a large build to hunt with. Demons are predators in this iteration, and I like that Frieren treats them as such.

Lions capable of society ending magic is probably not something I'd look at in a friendly way either 😂

Regarding the behaviour of demons in Frieren, it's comparable to something that is sometimes seen in nature. Wikipedia calls it "aggressive mimicry", where an animal evolves some of the same features as its prey species or the prey's food source in order to more easily prey on them or otherwise take advantage of them. For example, there are insects that have evolved to look like ants or give off the same pheromones as ants so that they can infiltrate an ant colony without being attacked. The species might not understand why the ant colony doesn't attack them, and they might not understand how it is helpful to give off the pheromones. But they don't need to - they're not ants, so they don't need to understand what causes the ants' behaviour. All that's relevant for them is that it means the ants don't attack them, so it increases their chances of survival, so natural selection favours the members of the species that are best able to mimic the ants, and the features become more dominant in the species until it's a core part of their biology. In the same way, demons evolved the ability to speak the human language. Like we see from the girl demon in this episode, they might not understand what all the words mean, and they might not understand human social structures. But they don't always need to. All they need to understand is that humans react to the words, and those reactions are something that they can take advantage of. Natural selection takes over. Going back to the ants example, a human observer might know that the species that is trying to mimic the ants is not an ant, will never be an ant, and has behaviour and motives that are fundamentally different from those of an ant. It only exhibits ant-like traits in order to take advantage of the ants' blind spot. The ants don't stand to gain anything by welcoming the invader. But the ants don't recognise that, and so they continue to allow the mimic species to infiltrate. In the same way, Frieren recognises that demons are not humans and will never be humans, and that the only reason they seem human-like is because they have evolved these features in order to more easily prey on humans. And the main reason she is cognizant of this is because of Flamme's teachings and her centuries of experience with demons. But to the average human, they don't recognise this. They see that the demons appear to have some similarities to humans and reason that they should be similar in other ways too, without understanding that they are actually different on a fundamental level. That's what makes it so insidious - it's difficult for a human to set aside their desire to socialise and understand other human-like species when they aren't thinking about how the process of evolution has led to demons.

Goodwin is the most pro-Demon reactor I have ever seen lmao. My man Alexander... they are literally called "DEMON'S". They are bad!

Do you remember why they're called demons though? Don't answer in here since it's a spoiler from a future episode, but just something to chew on
