The long-awaited fifth season of “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?” has finally been released, continuing the thrilling escapades of Bell Cranel and the Hestia Family. Following an intense season filled with close calls for Bell and the familia, the new season of DanMachi began more leisurely. Yet, several key plot points have already surfaced, like Syr’s true persona and her significance within the storyline.

This season is all about the Goddess Festival storyline, and the premiere episode has started the festive preparations. Given that the focus is on the festival, it’s probable that fertility goddesses will be significant throughout the series. At present, Bell finds himself caught up in a series of romantic situations, one of which could be a prelude to the upcoming festival.

The Hestia Familia Ranks Up

Two Members Of the Familia Have Leveled Up

DanMachi: Prologue to the Goddess Festival

Following the thrilling subterranean adventure of the Familia, every guild member experienced significant personal growth. Though the rest of the Familia didn’t explore deeply into the dungeon, they all faced the challenges posed by the lower floors’ formidable beastly inhabitants. The new season starts by appreciating each member’s contributions and granting a few level-ups along the way.

Among the family, only Liliruca and Haruhime advanced to Level 2, primarily because of their supportive roles in the dungeon. Meanwhile, other family members experienced significant improvements in their abilities, moving them closer to their own promotions. Bell is on the verge of leveling up after repeatedly defeating monsters on every floor. However, Hestia is preventing him from doing so for one of two reasons: either to shield him from the gods’ attention or to prevent another encounter with the lower floors.

The Goddess Festival Of Orario

The Festival Pays Tribute to the Goddesses of Fertility

In the fifth season of DanMachi, the storyline centers around the Goddess Festival. The debut episode of this season has already given us a sneak peek at what’s to follow. As the festival is a celebration honoring the gods and goddesses for a bountiful harvest, the four main goddesses of fertility are carved on four separate towers throughout the entire duration of the festival.

In the town square, it’s essential to install the four primary goddesses symbolizing fertility on tall columns dedicated to them.

In this festival, Demeter, the Harvest Goddess, plays a key role since it’s her duty to provide an abundant harvest annually. For the folks in Orario, the Goddess Festival is more than just a celebration; it transforms the entire town into a scene of joy and fortunate events. This particular year, though, the Goddess Festival is poised to serve as the backdrop for numerous enigmas to be solved.

Syr’s Role In the Narrative

Syr Is a Mysterious Character Among DanMachi’s Roster

Initially, Syr played a minor, supporting role throughout the early seasons of DanMachi, but she’s now become the main focus for the current season’s plot. Working as one of the waitresses at the Hostess of Fertility tavern, Syr harbors affectionate feelings for Bell, but her true intentions and hidden aspects are still shrouded in mystery. Despite being noticeably present during significant events in DanMachi, her involvement remains limited.

In the most recent series of DanMachi, some surprising truths about the enigmatic character Syr have been exposed. Currently, Syr has invited Bell on a date for the Goddess Festival, which is unexpected given her timid and weak nature. Additionally, the letter was carried by a high-ranking member of the Freya Familia, adding to the unusual circumstances. These events strongly suggest that Syr’s character may have a more significant part in the plot of season 5 of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon.

Syr’s Possible Identity

Based on the opening scene of the last episode, we can deduce some clues about Syr’s real nature. It seems Syr occupies a realm akin to godhood, which makes it impossible for her to be with Bell, as gods and humans are traditionally prohibited from romantic involvement. Yet, she was granted an audience with the Goddess Freya, something that typically only deities can do.

Can I be freed from the shackles of Goddesshood? – Syr

Given that the top-tier representative from the Freya Familia handed over a message intended for Syr, it’s worth pondering if Syr might be a potential manifestation or remnant of the goddess Freya. This theory could explain why Syr seems to allude to her proximity to deityhood. Additionally, the name “Syr” is a disguise used by the Norse goddess Freya in mythology, which strengthens the possibility of a connection between these two characters. At this point, these are just theories, but the outcome of the Goddess Festival will likely shed light on these enigmas.
