Furthermore, many fans brought up Frieren's disciple, Fern, who looks after and adores her in the series, flooding the post with comments like "Fern is going to scold her..." and replying with manga panels of Fern puffing out her cheeks in a jealous pout ("Mussu-"). On top of that, some fans made spot-on jokes by posting an image of the priest Sein, a known lover of older women, gritting his teeth alongside the quote, "This is exactly the kind of older sister I meant!", turning the replies into a lively internet meme fest.
