Welcome To My Critique Of Danmachi Season 5 Episode 6
I will cover the potential possibilities unleashed by Bell's update, a quote that sums up the limitations of Freya's charms and ask a slightly important question at the end. This is anime only so please no spoilers but anyone can find this interesting so please leave a comment if you want to discuss anything here.
It Must Have Felt So Real To Bell
Bell is such an honest soul who seems to have the ability to read people so to see him so disoriented is a huge deal. He was able to figure out that Lili was lonely so when his Familia rejected him it must have felt so real to him because he knew they were telling their truths.
Why Fells Needed To Fall Victim
To think that even Fells is under Freya's charm was a shock but I knew that they would have to have some way to stop the Xenos from being alerted to Bell's predicament as Freya said some adventures who were in the dungeon may have escaped her charm so the Xenos in the deep dungeon would have as well. Fells isn't going to tell them.
The Freya Famlia's way of strengthening themselves is brutal but it does give some context as to why we do not see their members in the dungeon that often it also justifies Bell not going into the dungeon.
Skipped Content Suspected
There's an excellent YouTube channel I watch sometimes called Aninews that fills in blanks left out by animes. Based on Bell's status update from Freya when compared with the last time we saw his status my guess is that he has been with them longer than the anime makes it seem. Maybe a month I'm not sure.
Status Snitch Opens Doors
Two things: I know that Status Snitch allows Freya to update the status of someone not of her Familia and this leaves me with two questions. Firstly can she update regular stats only and not initiate level ups? Hestia said Bell could level up but she did not want the attention and his stats were not S ranks and above yet. Freya did not mention it so it could be more cut content or perhaps she cannot or maybe she is avoiding the fact that she does not know what Bell did to earn the rank up It may not have been in Aina's book like the others.
Number two what about Ryu? Ryu is long overdue for a status update and until now the prospect has never crossed my mind that perhaps another god or goddess could update her status. In the intro we see her fighting the Freya Familia and after how easily she was defeated last time I cannot see her not wanting an update after she gains her memories back.
I think This Quote Sums Up The Limits of Freya's Ability
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou
I have been wondering about the extent of Freya's charm and abilities and why she visited Aina. Did she go to the guild to get information about Bell from Aina's records or was it as a direct alert from Aina's colleague?
From what I can see she can control the mind with her charm, not the heart it is like Freya can make people crazy with love the way Ishtar sent Aisha mad with love and pleasure as punishment but she cannot make people fall in love with her. Love is not control, that's an obsession. Do you think my assessment is accurate?
