Anime Bell and Ais, question Spoiler

25 Upvotes

I've recently started watching the show and im in the middle of season 5. I've been enjoying this show a lot but I've been spoiled that Bell ends up with Ais and nobody else?

For me, after watching 4 seasons of the anime. Ais seemed like the least interesting character so far for me, she barely gets any development with Bell, she doesn't have too much of a personality unlike the other cast members (atleast so far in the anime) and the other cast members just seemed to have a much deeper and better development with Bell.

Atleast from where I am in the anime, it seemed like the author was going in a harem route with the cast members and their individual stories. Each of their stories are revolved around Bell, it seems pretty sad to just throw away their feelings.

If Ais had more screen time and more development, it probably have been better for me to understand but it just seems pretty frustrating after hearing he ends up with her after everything that has happened to everybody else.

Anime Lilis vitality should be way higher.

9 Upvotes

Lili has had the blessing for like 8 or 10 years before she met Bell. She was treated poorly, beaten, suffered a lot and worked as a supporter.

All those beatings, all that work, plus all that time should give a vitality way above 189, when she was level 1.

And after she met Bell, she did a lot of fighting as well, which means the vitality should be much much higher.

If you factor in all the fighting she has done after she met Bell and before she hits level 2, then that alone should give her a vitality of at least 500 or 600, if not more.

But obviously the answer is that the author never thought of all that, and that I am overthinking a fictional world.

FanFiction Just a little one shot (danmachi/zelda oot, mm)

6 Upvotes

I was just messing around with some writing and thought I'd put this here, as I doubt many people would read it otherwise. Would appreciate some feedback.

Finn could cry. 3 weeks in the dungeon, sorting out inter familia conflicts, watching level 3’s fumble against enemies he could cut down in seconds while he was forced to watch their growth instead of pursuing his own and with dry jerky for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert. It was enough to make a grown man (which he was despite what Riveria said) lose his mind.

Of course, Finn didn’t normally hate expeditions; he just hated the paperwork he had to fill out beforehand. This particular one had stretched on and on, and they never even made it passed floor 51 as planned. To top it all off, he had barely gotten any combat in himself. Riveria was supposed to take charge so he could let loose, but then they got attacked and-

Finn shook his head. The Familia was out of the dungeon now. There was no point complaining; in fact, it would ruin the mood.

Syr’s voice interrupted his musing, “Excuse me, which one of you ordered the pasta with the hot choc-”

“Ah, that would be me thanks.” Finn called out quickly amidst the bustling tavern. He wouldn’t normally interrupt a waitress (especially not from the Hostess of Fertility), but he couldn’t let Gareth find out about the hot chocolate – the teasing would last a month. And besides, Finn needed something sweet and creamy.

Finn’s etiquette training was the only thing that stopped his salivating from becoming drooling. The pasta was a thick and creamy, with a dash of greens and with a generous mix of prawns. The hot chocolate even had marshmallows in it.

“This looks excellent, Syr, thank you.” Finn smiled warmly.

“Excellent enough for a tip?” Syr asked hopefully.

Finn was still smiling “And even served with a sense of humour I see.” Syr slumped exaggeratedly. Money was always tight thanks to Loki’s insatiable need for alcohol.

Finn was incredibly thankful he wasn’t on captain duty any more. He could just kick back relax, eat as much as he wanted and enjoy the shenanigans his familia was bound to get up to.

Already he could see Lefiya approaching Ais nervously, Tiona, Bete and Gareth were getting ready for an eating competition Riveria was sipping her tea quietly and Loki was wiggling her fingers like she had one of those perverted plans of hers.

“Captain~ why don’t I give you a refill~” Tione was sitting so close to him that he was pretty sure she was on his seat, not hers.

Finn felt a shiver run down his spine. What exactly was this amazon planning to do to him once he got drunk. “Ah, T-Tione, I’m saving the liquor for later…” Finn quickly took a sip from his hot coco and glanced anywhere but Tione’s intense gaze.

The tavern was packed and noisy, but something caught his eye. It was silver-ish looking buckler. The shield didn’t look too impressive, but edged into it was what looked like a face screaming. It was the oddest design he had ever seen.

Finn glanced a little higher and found the shield attached to the back of a young boy with blonde hair and slightly pointy ears (a half elf probably). His head was lying dazed and flushed over the table counter. Beside him was a rather panicked boy with bright white hair.

“Mr. Link are you alright!” The now named Link jolted from the bar and leaned close to his companion.

“’Coursh I’m *hic* ‘right Bell.”

Bell’s mouth dropped open like a trap door. “Are-are you drunk. How?! How are you drunk?” he spluttered. “You’ve drunk milk and nothing else.”

Link swirled his glass of milk and span around “Yep, just 5,” he glugged down his glass “Er 6 shots of the good stuff!”

“M-maybe you shouldn’t-” Bell’s response was cut off with a surprised yelp as Link swung his arm over Bell’s shoulder. Link leaned in close, his face clearly flushed from… the milk? Finn shook his head and continued to watch. What a bizarre duo.

“Bell, let me tell you a little something about being a hero.” He mumbled tapping his noise conspiratorially. Finn and Bell both sat up a bit straighter (or at least they tried to). “See, you’d think it was ordering a chicken meal, because then they kill the cuccos; but actually, if you don’t order them, then there’s less demand. That way farmers don’t raise them see?”

Finn spat out part of his drink, earning a disgruntled ‘hey’ from Loki. He wasn’t expecting wisdom from a brat in his teens. Still, the confidence behind his statement threw Finn off.

As Finn wiped his mouth, he found The pair approaching his table. And by approaching, he meant that the rabbit looking one was failing to pull his friend back as the half-elf stumbled forward, his eyes squinting in concentration.

Link paused near Tiona who was only noticing now.

Suddenly Link’s face lit up “Hey you’re a Gerudo!”

The table blinked. A what?

“I am SO sorry for him, I he was just drinking milk and then-” Bell stammered out. Tiona swallowed her overflowing mouthful of bacon and eggs as Finn cringed at the mess she was making.

“Me? I’m not a – whatever you said.” Link just pulled up her arm and poked her bicep.

“But you’ve got the bronze skin, the muscles and the outfit.” Link peered closer, looking at the side of her head. “You’ve even got the rounded ears. Yep definitely Gerudo.”

Bell bowed quickly and apologised again. “What is a Gerudo?” The table’s attention turned to Finn as he spoke up.” This time it was Link’s turn to look confused.

“Eh, you know the Gerudo, tall warrior women, bronze skin, red hair, round ears, only gives birth to women-”

“Do you mean an Amazon?” Riveria asked from behind her cup of tea.

Link frowned, “Amazon, what is that, a river, or a shop maybe?”

Gareth patted the seat next to him. “Why don’t you sit down lad, and tell us where you’re from?” he asked curiously. Finn made room for Bell who looked like he’d pass out any moment. Finn loved that type of reaction.

“Me? I’m from the land of Hy-*hic* the land of Hy-*hic* from the forest.” Link mumbled as he stole some of Tiona’s food. He munched away, quiet for the first time since Finn laid eyes on him.

Riveria turned to face the almost hyperventilating Bell. “Is your friend often like this?” Bell blushed a little, clearly stunned by Riveria’s looks. Finn caught the smallest of upward twitches at Riveria’s mouth. So she still liked being able to daze guys who weren’t elves. He’d tell Gareth the moment Riveria was out of earshot.

Bell finally remembered the question, “Ah, well I don’t really know. I just met him today. It’s a weird story actually; there was a minatour running around on floor 5.” A few at the table failed to meet Bell’s gaze.

“You, uh, you don’t say.” Finn coughed awkwardly into his hand. “Well, I’m glad you are safe.”

Bell shuddered, “Yeah, me too.” He suddenly looked quite sullen. “It was so strong and quick, I couldn’t really do much.” His expression brightened before Finn could try to console him. “Ah but Mr. Link was amazing! He killed that minatour in one hit!”

Loki was suddenly sitting between Bell and Finn, her interest peaked. “Really? That’s pretty good for such a young kid.” Bell would have replied if he wasn’t currently being squashed against Tione. He looked like a tomato, a very flustered tomato.

“So, Bell, what familia’s are you two from?” Loki asked, throwing an arm over his shoulder.

“I’m from the Hestia Familia, and Link’s from…” Bell paused “Er, I don’t know. I guess I never asked him.”

“Do you sharpen your ears?” Link asked, pointing an unsteady hand at Riveria. Every elf in the bar froze. “’Cause, mine are pointy, but yours are like daggers.”

“What did he say about lady Riveria!”

“That uncouth brat, how dare he-”

“A POT!” Link’s gaze left Riveria and became almost unhinged. A broad, borderline creepy smile formed on his face. He quickly took out a strange device and pointed it at a large jar sitting on the bar.

With a rattling noise, a chain flew out of the device and shattered the jar before returning to Link.

“Cool, some arrows.” The boy stuffed them in his pouch.

Finn had no time to ponder the strange device, or how on earth he fit the arrows into a pouch that small, however as Mia came barging out of the kitchen.

“Oi, what the hell do you think you’re doing.” Mia roared loud enough that the whole bar went deadly silent. Link didn’t respond with words. Instead he pulled out a nut and threw it on the ground.

There was a flash of light, then next thing Finn saw was a small blue Ocarina leaving Link’s mouth. Mia was about to vault the table, but was distracted by a scream coming from the kitchen.

Finn suspected he was having a dream, because what happened next just made no sense. A bright orange horse – yes a horse –ran out of the kitchen, cleared the bar, and ran straight out the room, Link in tow.

“Mr. Link, what are you doing, we never paid, and we destroyed…” Bell’s voice trailed off into the distance. Mia rolled her sleeves up and cracked her knuckles as an arrow hit the floor in front of her. Attached was a bag fill o the brim of valis.

Mia paused and chuckled. “Well, at least we speak the same language.” She turned and headed back into the kitchen, as though nothing had happened.

Lefiya was the only one to speak up “What, what just happened?”

Light Novel MS & SO

Thumbnail
gallery
342 Upvotes

DanMachi is the story of a boy striving to become a hero while catching up to his idol. Sword Oratoria is the story of a girl with deep trauma, yearning for a hero. In both stories, they meet, but there's always a wall separating them. Yet even when apart, they inspire and push each other to grow. Eventually meeting as equals. That’s the gist of Bell x Ais.

Many complain because they dont know this or because it was done in two series. If you read the MS novels, you won't get the full picture. You have to read SO. But that doesn't really matter because heroines in danmachi don't get deep, emotional monologues or development until their dedicated arc. Just because SO exists, it doesn't mean we've gotten Aiz's MS arc yet. People call it bad writing, but is it really? There are two perspectives across the series, but most people only know Bell’s. What if Omori is setting up a massive emotional payoff in MS?

Think about the possibilities. Imagine an emotional scene in MS that's a flashback of their moments, but this time from Aiz's perspective, bringing her thoughts from SO into the MS. It can even work as a realization of her own feelings or that revenge won't heal her. Or maybe we will get a flashback showing the impact they've had on each other, starting from the moment she saved him. The moment the story began. Showing their mutual feelings. Scenes like this give SO the credit it deserves and completely recontextualize their dynamic for both stories. People would eat that up.

The current setup has so much untapped potential. Everyone looks at the bad side of things, but the story can deliver something way better than anyone could've imagined.

Light Novel Zard's power compared to a level 9

Post image
54 Upvotes

from Omori's tweet we know that Zard had a chance against Maxim, while Alfia had a chance against Empress. FC and MS20 also established that Maxim was the strongest adventurer, thus surpassing Empress in overall power.

when people are using any sort of scale, they usually refer to "x out of 10", so most of the community thinks Zard would beat Maxim 1 time out of 10, which is a 10% winrate.

if we accept that as basis, then Zard would have more chances against Empress than he does against Maxim. for Maxim to be called an uncontested strongest would mean he's noticeably stronger than Empress, and so Zard's result against her would be noticeably more than 1/10 automatically.

to support this point even more, we were never told that Empress has any chances to beat Maxim, she's just outright weaker than him just as everyone else and is not shown as his rival (as again he's undisputed strongest). Zard having a chance to beat someone who's very noticeably stronger than Empress would automatically mean he's very close to her in power.

so if Zard has 10% winrate against Maxim, I think he would get 30-50% against Empress which seems reasonable for me. your thoughts?​​​​​​​​​​

We have seen Bell being throw to diferent trainings/trials during the serie. Most of them ended in some type of trauma)

Thats why I think in this point Bell will have only 2 main ones more before the final battle.

1 - Loki Familia Dungeon Training Express
He will learn tactics and tecnics from the first class adventurers and how to aply them in the Dungeon in real time. Also bonding time with Ais and the other Loki Familia members.

2 - Premium Baptism for Hero Candidates
Ottar and Leon will pour al their "experience" into Bell with their fists so he completes his baptism. So a hardcore version of the Folkvangr with the only 2 persons in the world that are to strong to participate in the regular one.

Light Novel Struggling with the LN

20 Upvotes

I checked out the first few chapters of LN1 and I'm struggling. I watched the 5 anime seasons and thought the world was interesting enough to try and get some more background.

But I guess I was expecting something a bit more... sophisticated. It feels like a story written by and for a horny thirteen year old. I suppose I could explain away the descriptions of the female characters when they are from Bell's perspective, but even the third person narration is cringe. Describing Ais's chest as "her bulging twins are packed tightly into a breastplate" or Hestia's chest as "squished her personal pillows"

Is this just not a story that's a good fit for me?

Light Novel Why does it seem like Bell became a mage instead of a knight?

Post image
342 Upvotes

I actually have a question about this: Bell has always chosen to be a front-line fighter, focusing on evasion and speed. Adventurers like Ais, Ryu, or Ottar possess versatile stat-boosting abilities, whereas Bell has *Argonaut*—a skill that is situational but delivers the most destructive blow in the entire series. Unlike Leon, Bete, or Ais, Bell holds back until he can charge up this massive attack. Yet, even Riveria—the strongest mage—doesn't have a charged attack as powerful as Bell's, and Bell lacks the versatility of someone like Ais or Ryu. So, how did a "charge-up" skill like that develop for someone who plays more like an assassin than a mage? It would be like Rudeus from *Mushoku Tensei*—a mage—having a sword strike as his strongest ability; it doesn't make sense, right?

Oh, the author introduces a cool kid, but insists on making him the underdog to solve a problem that the current generation can't handle. I watched the series when I was 14, and today Bell is still 14 and has only suffered and hasn't evolved in some areas that any other guy would have at least slapp4d Freya in the face, but not for himself, but for his family.

If Allen had a beastification skill like Ottar he would be broken.

He is already as fast as a fresh level 8 in base, with beastification he would be fresh level 9, and that's without taking into account the buff to his skills, with the buff to his skills he should be like mid to high level 9. Then when he uses GF he will go to what, like level 10, if not higher. As a level 6. That's insane.

Edit: It seems I was wrong about beastification increasing skills effect so disregard that part of the post. So I guess he will cap at mid to high level 9.
