Hestia gave Bell famiel love and a home. Ais gave him a goal to push him foward. Freya gave Bell power and hardship to push him past his limits. They all are the reasons Bell is who he is.
Danmachi is peak rn, such a good season. Good enough that I went to just read ahead in the LN just for the next episode's content, and accidentally binged 3 volumes lol. Non spoiler notes: The death battles are also called baptisms in the LN, and although they didn't showcase the full brutality of the situation (battles are even more chaotic, bloody, and gruesome) or Bell's mental state, it's still depicted a lot better than I expected
To clarify on Hestia's statement, I believe it's because his Liaris Freese skill, the one that makes him level up so fast and get stronger so fast (strength increases with user's will) quite literally manifested as a result of his feelings towards Ais. The author explored this in some what-if scenarios; once it's tied to Ais, if his feelings towards her breaks, he'll lose the skill and become "normal." So yeah, you're not wrong on a personal/character standpoint, but she's talking about the mechanics of the skill rather than emotional stuff :)
Jesus, this is some of the most elaborate gaslighting I’ve ever seen. Mixing in some truths from Eine’s journal was so smart. You’re right that Hestia wants Ais to stay away from Bell to avoid breaking Bell, but that’s because Ais is essential to Liaris Freese. Without Ais, Bell loses the skill that renders him immune to charm. So part of why Freya Familia is so strong is because they fight to the death everyday, huh. Interesting mythology tidbit here: Folkvangr is the battlefield that Freya rules over, where she has warriors fight and chooses who ascend to Valhalla.
Oh boy, that smile from Freya was actually disgusting (in the sense of “extremely disturbing and unsettling”) Poor Eina… Her feelings for Bell are so strong that she even tried to resist the brainwashing despite the fact that she hasn’t got any sort of power… That scene broke my heart💔💔💔😢😢 But then OF COURSE the b*tch has to come and take her diary away from her… How dares she to take Eina’s feelings and use them at her own advantage, in order to break Bell even more!?!?🤬🤬🤬 She’s basically a teenager in love… The only problems are that she is: 1)Able to brainwash people 2)COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY SCHIZOPHRENIC (not a good combination really…)😅😂 Seriously, to take the person that you supposedly “love” and to destroy every kind of relationship he has, his bonds, his memories, his own world, to twist his feelings, to be willing to ACTUALLY HURT HIM, so that you could be the one that “heals” him…. That’s not love, THAT’S JUST TOXIC AND F*CKED UP BEYOND REASON!!! Even in the last scene, when she was laying on her bed, smiling happily, there was honestly no hint of smile on my face… The opposite: I was angered, i found that scene really f*cked up and “repulsive”… Someone really has to stop her, I want that sadistic grin to be wiped from her face as soon as possible… Imagine if in the end Hestia sends her directly TO HEAVEN!!! What a satisfaction that would be…😂😍😍 P.S. I wonder how Ryu and Asfi are doing… I really hope they are okay… And also Ais, will she be able to “rebel” against Freya’s charm? And if so, how?
One question: does anyone know how many episodes there are going to be in this season? Because we’re basically on ep.6 and it really feels like we’re just getting started… Will they be 12? 24? Will there be two “cours” just like season 4?
Bell is getting comboed by everyone right now 😭😭

Also, one of your observations was spot on, and to avoid spoilers I won't say which.
Great reactions 👍

I'm willing to bet we're gonna have a bit more of a troubling season
Oh boy, that smile from Freya was actually disgusting (in the sense of “extremely disturbing and unsettling”)

But then OF COURSE the b*tch has to come and take her diary away from her… How dares she to take Eina’s feelings and use them at her own advantage, in order to break Bell even more!?!?🤬🤬🤬

5:31 definitely agree with you there
Looks like you don't know how Ais and Liaris Freese are important to Bell.
Does somebody know if Eina will have a crucial role in this season? So far she is the only one who almost broke Freya's spell by herself.
I read the source material just last week.
Spoiler:
not really.
One question: does anyone know how many episodes there are going to be in this season? Because we’re basically on ep.6 and it really feels like we’re just getting started…
Will they be 12? 24? Will there be two “cours” just like season 4?
I think its supposed to be around 15 just know its not supposed to be 20+ but at least longer than 12 episodes
Yeah like the other comment says this season is 15 episodes
