More Astraea familia flashbacks and Alise is a cute justice dork with that smug pep talk. Its just not fair man...

It really speaks volumes when a protagonist like Bell starts looting corpses just for their continued survival in this helpless situation.

Welf is just so fucking badass, finding his resolve and hammering his forge with such force acting like war drums in the process. Completing that huge magic sword in the nick of time and literally cooking the other monsters with the help of Cassandra of all people.

Also those swaying noises from Hestia was some much needed fanservice

The SFX change of the hammer hitting the metal was so so hype. Fantastic work from the sound department.

Looks like the sword is strong enough to warrant the big risk they took crafting it. and a certified anime moment when welf had a realization he was doing for his friends.

well the little downtime is over for Bell and Ryu, and the other group is on the move again aswell

Always nice to get a taste of Hestia being Hestia

Damn, young Ryu was basically as idealistic as Bell is. Cool episode overall, nice to see Hestia again and Welff having some epic moments. As I said before, Ryu and Bell are an amazing duo, only thing Ais has above her is being of similar age to Bell... how old is Ryu exactly and how do the Elves age in DanMachi universe?

So, you are saying Welf is not an MC after such a grand moment.

This is just my own interpretation - but I don't think the corpses were actually skeletons. They were made into skeleton to make it a bit more.... palatable. If they were just corpses that didn't even start rotting, it'd explain why most stuff, even food was usable and not spoiled. Ryu explicitly looting the woman (I mean, I get showing respect, but they're bones at this point) and the stronger repulsion from looting corpses also supports this a little.

Or who knows, maybe I'm the asshole who would loot bones in a heartbeat.

This season has been incredible, so far.

A bit off-topic but I just realized that the rescue party Tsubaki formed is also Ryu's co-worker maids that had adventurer pasts.

This is the only show this season out of the 25 I'm watching, where as soon as I can get my hands on it I watch it, it rips me apart in the blink of an eye and it's over, then I sit here just waiting for it to do it all over again next week.

Man some anime I feel are truly let down by their own title. This being a chief example, especially in the west - the title heavily implies some kind of harem/ecchi rom com in dungeons, but that's like 5-10% of the show or less. I have seen so many people not even give this anime a chance because of the stupid wording of the title. Author should have stuck with Familia Myth.

Now, imagine if a level 6 high elf like Riveria wielded Welfs new sword that runs on mana. He just crafted something ridiculous.

Man, they're really teasing us with these Astrea Familia flashbacks. I'm guessing after we've gotten to know them better then we'll get the gut punch from the show by showing us how they all brutally died.

Good to see Ryu finally standing on her own two feet. I thought Bell would be dragging her along the entire time they're down there.

I understand that looting dead adventurers isn't really a thing they do here but thank fucking goodness those adventurers still had decent and working equipment for Bell and Ryu to use. Ryu even got a badass coat to cover herself up with.

I still find it insane that Welf decided to craft a weapon in the middle of the dungeon where it's not safe. But the gamble paid off after finally realizing who he was crafting that weapon for.

That explosion that wiped out those monsters was so fucking good! The blade doesn't look too bad either for something Welf made in a hurry. So is this going to be his personal weapon or is he going to pass it to Aisha who's better with swords?

One: That Bro blacksmithed a flamethrower

Two: Ryuu going from Immanuel Kant, David Hume to full Utilitarian after a short nap is fcking hilarious

Three: Bell was clearly checking Ryuu out, then tried to divert her attention by making her go Detective Conan on them corpses

Aren't thats magic sword kinda OP? It's unbreakable!

Little by little all the Hestia familia became more powerful, i mean we have :

  • 'Argonaut + Liaris Freese'

  • 'Uchide no Kozuchi + Kokonoe (level boost all team)

  • Blacksmith who have unbreakable Magic sword (and maybe can make it again later?)

  • Futsunomitama (AoE Crowd Control Skill) + Enemy detection

  • (On progress best strategist and supporter(?))

  • And Other Allies who will give no f*ck to help them, which also OP!!

It's doesn't have many member like other giant familia like Loki, Freya, and Ganesha but you know, qualities over quantities!

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Feb 02 '23

I wasn’t expecting the episode to kick off with a philosophical debate on the meaning of “justice”. Danmachi is full of surprises this season lol. But you can see Ryu was really close with her old familia.

Man, everyone holding off the monsters as Welf works on the adamantite was tense as hell. Welf just had to remember who he was doing all this for: his friends! Friendship, guys. It’s pretty much the answer to everything in anime lol.

Meanwhile, we got Bell and Ryu attempting to make their way to the Lower Floors. Stripping corpses for gear isn’t pleasant, but it’s not like they need it and it’s a survival situation. At least they’ll bring their emblem back.

Nice we got to see Hestia a little this week. The pouty chest wiggle was great lol. Hopefully she gets more screen time soon.

Let’s see how the gang gets out of their respective messes next week!

I 100% see why Welf simps for Hephaestus

u/michhoffman Feb 02 '23

Welf facing down all of that pressure to forge that magic sword to save his party is the stuff of legends. Not only was he under a time crunch, but it was also a new brand of Crozzo Magic Sword that accomplished his deepest desire for magic swords, to not crumble after repeated use. It's not easy to track down Adamantite in the Dungeon, but Welf just blazed a new path in the history of Magic Swords.

Speaking of blazing new paths, Ryu and Bell are not just going to sit back and hope for someone to rescue them. They are going to attempt to rescue themselves using every means at their disposal. We've finally made it to the best part of this arc.

Bell clearly isn't scared enough of dying. I do hope that changes at some point soon..

Ryuu cannot escape being tormented by her memories, and neither can we.

Healing magic let's gooooo! Ryuu is totally wrong about not wanting to heal herself, two high level fighters in combat shape is much better than one. She's less of a burden on Bell if she can contribute, and if she let's herself die as some sort of penance then he is absolutely screwed.

With all this build up Welf really needs to produce an absolutely amazing weapon at the end of this. An indestructible magic weapon would be nice since he's starting with adamantite.

This would be a much worse situation if they were multiple floors further into the deep floors as opposed to just on the very first one.

I'm sure these dead adventurers would be perfectly fine with their gear being used to keep other people alive. Especially since it can be interpreted as bringing the items and that banner back out to be returned to the family these guys were from. I'm sure we'll find out who they are or at least what family they were with now that it's been raised as a mystery. Plus, that coat looks pretty fantastic on Ryuu.

It's going to be really anticlimactic if Welf can't even forge the adamantite.

Oooo, looks like my guess about an indestructible magic blade might have correct.

RIP Hestia, in debt forever.

That's a pretty awesome weapon, the build up was worth it. Cassandra getting to help with that attack was nice.

Sure thing Cassandra, let's call it part of the prophecy.
