As a seasoned gamer and long-time DanMachi enthusiast, I’ve seen my fair share of twists and turns in Orario. But the latest developments in Season 5 have taken the cake! Freya’s manipulative tactics to break Bell are downright cunning, yet it seems our beloved Hestia is one step ahead.

The following contains spoilers for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, Season 5, Episode 7, “Loneliness: Separated”, now streaming on HiDive.

This week’s episode of DanMachi delves deeper into the aftermath of Bell’s integration with the Freya Familia. The chaotic reign of Freya over Orario’s Labyrinth City is further explored, as she implements a novel tactic to entice the remaining individuals who remain immune to her captivating magic.

From my gaming perspective, I’m still yearning for companions who can aid me in breaking Freya’s enchantment on Orario. With Asfi and Ryu being the last uncharmed characters, it won’t be long before we join forces to ultimately overthrow the tyranny of the Freya Familia ruling our city.

Freya’s Attempts to Manipulate Bell

Distorting Bell’s Memories is the Key to Breaking Him

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon: Freyas Reign Over Orario Continues

Freya’s irresistible allure has captivated the city of Orario, but Bell Cranel stands untouched because of his special skill, Liaris Freese. Since her magic doesn’t work on Bell, Freya has switched tactics, trying to undermine Bell mentally in an attempt to make him yield to her control. The power behind Liaris Freese comes from Bell’s deep love for Ais, so his memories are the shield that protects him from Freya’s enchantment.

If Freya manages to convince Bell that his memories are actually a curse, it would greatly diminish Liaris Freese’s charm resistance, providing an opening for Freya to eventually enchant Bell. However, persuading Bell to accept this truth isn’t easy because he clings tightly to the distorted memories he shares with the Hestia Familia. It seems that Bell is on the brink of acknowledging his memories as nothing but a curse. Yet, it’s probable that Hestia will intervene before Freya can fully ensnare him in her deceitful charms.

The Last Remaining Defense

More Characters Unaffected by the Charm Have Been Revealed

At present, Freya’s enchantment has enveloped the entire city of Orario, but there are a handful of characters who managed to elude her charm. These individuals serve as the last bastion resisting Freya’s chaos. Originally, only Hestia and Bell were known to be immune to Freya’s spell. Recently, more characters have been identified as being unaffected by Freya’s charm, thereby bolstering the resistance against her reign.

We’ll return to Orario once we’re fully prepared.

It turns out that Asfi Andromeda, Ryu Lion, and Anya – a waitress at Hostess of Fertility – have all been confirmed as immune to Freya’s enchantment. This is due to Hermes swiftly instructing Asfi to leave Orario prior to Freya performing her charm, and in Anya’s case, her unique connection with Allen Fromel, a prominent member of the Freya Familia, protected her from Freya’s brainwashing influence.

Given that Anya is Allen Fromel’s sibling, he requested that Freya spare her from her influence, but the motive behind this unusual plea remains mysterious, considering their strained relationship. It’s also puzzling because Anya was manipulated by Freya in a scheme to entice Ryu. Since Freya knew that Ryu would appear to rescue Anya.

Hestia’s Plight to Find Allies

The Goddess Of Hearth Is In Search for Potential Allies

As I, Hestia, firmly believe that I am immune to Freya’s enchanting magic, I’m on a quest to find other allies who could assist me in dethroning Freya. Initially, I considered approaching Ouranos, knowing his altar would shield him from Freya’s influence. Yet, my hopes were dashed when Ouranus declined my request for aid in reclaiming Orario. Although we might have devised a strategy to overthrow Freya together, I realized that Fels would likely betray Ouranos and reveal my situation to the goddess.

There are no safe spaces left in Orario that are free from her “eyes” and “ears”.

For now, Hestia has to depart without securing any allies, but it’s only a matter of time before Asfi Andromeda reaches out to her. Additionally, Anya and Mama Mia are possible partners for Hestia, as it seems that Mama Mia is not in favor of Freya’s excessive behaviors. Interestingly, Mama Mia was once part of the Freya Familia, making her immune to Freya’s charm, but this could shift if she defies her goddess’ commands.

In a challenging predicament, Hestia holds onto a secret weapon – Hermes. The letter he gave her before being enchanted by Freya is yet to be deciphered. If she can unveil the contents and use it to break Hermes’ spell, she would gain another ally and a god who might help free Orario from Freya’s grasp. However, rescuing Hermes won’t be straightforward; Asfi Andromeda may also become involved in lifting the enchantment.
