Frieren's answer was a brute-force method: "Blasting it from the inside with offensive magic." Naturally, the damage from the point-blank blast affects her as well. Frieren explains, "I hate it because it makes my hair all frizzy."
Hearing this, Fern seems to understand, saying, "So that's why your hairstyle changed once in a while." In Fern's flashback, Frieren—with her trademark silver pigtails frizzed up as if she’d had an intense perm—sadly reports to Fern, "They turned into ringlets..."
Seeing the legendary mage in such an uncharacteristic state, viewers flooded the comments with reactions like, "Her dejected face is too cute," "She's so soothing because she's a bit of a ditz," and "She's so cute I want to watch her forever." This "gloomy Frieren" was a delight to many fans.
