Danmachi season 5 episode 10 recap
Danmachi season 5 episode 10 kicks off with Freya challenging Hestia on a War Game. Hestia feels Freya is in no position to make such a request. However, the Goddess of Beauty reminds her of her status, and how she will only get away with a penalty from the Guild.
She adds that Freya Familia won't be dissolved as long as the Three Guest Quests remain. Hestia then asks Bell what to do. Bell Cranel is willing to accept the challenge under one condition: Freya will let him meet her actual self if they win. The Goddess hesitates internally but accepts the offer nonetheless.
The news of the War Game between the Hestia Familia and Freya Familia spreads like wildfire across Orario. According to the episode, Hestia Familia can ally with other Familia against Freya to keep the War Game fair. Otherwise, Hestia Familia stands no chance against Freya's children on their own.
Notably, the Guild prevents Loki Familia from participating in the War. According to Royman, the Guild can't afford to let the two strongest forces in Orario destroy each other. Even though Finn and others aren't happy with the decision, they are forced to comply.
Royman also hands over an artifact from the 60th floor and urges Finn to keep his Familia out of the War Game. Meanwhile, a Denatus is formed to propose the rules of the War Game. Hestia is still irked by the fact that Loki Familia can't join, as it severely hurts their chances of victory.
However, Takemikazuchi and others assure Hestia that they won't abandon her. Meanwhile, Ais Wallenstein is forbidden to assist Bell and the Hestia Familia. When Allen asks Freya why she imposed such a handicap, the Goddess reveals Ais's assistance could potentially make Bell stronger.
Yet, in reality, she prevented her from participating out of jealousy. Elsewhere, the whole Orario prepares for the War Game. Hestia arrives at her mansion with the information on the event. According to the rules decided at the Denatus, the War Game will be a Hide-and-Seek game, where Gods will be hiding and the children must find them.
Children from the opposing Familia are free to battle and obstruct. Each God will wear a flower on their chest. If the flower is stolen by another Familia's child, the said God and their Familia will be disqualified. Moreover, it is revealed that the Hide and Seek game will take place at the Orza City ruins.
The Allied Army led by the Hestia Familia will get the Eastern territory, while Western territory will be reserved for the Freya Familia. Meanwhile, Finn teaches Liliruca to become a proper strategist, since he can't participate in the war. Likewise, the Tione sisters from the Loki Familia extend their arms to prepare Bell Cranel for the War Game.
Elsewhere, Hephaestus Familia forge new weapons, while the Ganesha Familia, who aren't participating in the War, vow to ensure the game's rules are strictly followed. Meanwhile, Hestia updates Bell's status, who has now become a level-five adventurer.
As a result, he has acquired a new skill called Vanadis Tevere, which amps his Charm Resistance. Additionally, the boy's Escape skill has increased in speed, allowing him to run faster while being chased. During their conversation, Bell asks Hestia about his chances of victory in the War.
While Hestia isn't a Goddess of War, she feels that Bell cannot defeat Freya's children. However, Bell remains undaunted by realism and strives to take on the challenge. He becomes adept at handling his skills at the new level, thanks to the Tione sisters.
Elsewhere, Anya's friends at the Tavern implore her to join the War Game. However, Anya feels too powerless to stand up. As her friends leave the room, she observes her elder brother, Allen, entering her room. Following that, the episode skips to the War Game's day.
The Ganesha Familia hosts the events and reveals the War Game's rules to everyone. Liliruca delivers a rousing speech to uplift everyone's morale. Meanwhile, Bell tells her about something that may happen in the War Game, but the episode doesn't reveal it. Just then, Cassandra appears and informs them about a dream she had.
According to the dream, Cassandra says the wind will blow in their (Allied force) favor. Elsewhere, Goddess Freya wears her flower and waits for the game to begin. She realizes that it's the only way she can get Bell. The episode ends with the Ganesha Familia commencing the Hide-and-Seek War Game.
What to expect in Danmachi season 5 episode 11 (speculative)?
Danmachi season 5 episode 11 is titled Hell: Folkvangr. The episode will likely showcase the first clash of the War Game, where the Allied Forces will demonstrate the magic swords forged by Welf against the Freya Familia's Einherjar.
However, Heith will turn the tide of the battle with her Healing abilities. Danmachi season 5 episode 11 will likely show the disparity between the Freya Familia members and the Allied Army led by the Hestia Familia.
