At 15:48, the old man is telling Stark about the concept of "mu" or "mushin," the absence of any barriers or conscious thought that would get in the way or hold back people from their pure, raw potential. That's the same concept highlighted in S3 of Demon Slayer with Mu-ichiro, the mist hashira, and in general it's the go-to trope for warriors reaching the pinnacle of achievement. I feel like that whole scene *must* be a reference to a specific series, but I don't know what it is. I really love how Frieren subverts it here, though, by making it out to be the ramblings of a lonely stranger, haha.

It's not the same thing but it reminds me of King Fu Hustle with the main character getting sold what seems like a fake martial arts tome. Maybe if Stark had listened he might have gotten something!

Same, not ready to write her off as "evil character," though I still am holding out hope for the demons so...
