| I’ve given JC staff so much flak over the past few years for how bad the Danmachi adaptation has been, but this was perfection. Legitimately could not have asked for a better ep. From haruhime’s spell, to lili finding the strength to not abandon her friends to Argo vesta and the fight with the enhanced monster.. just perfect. Animation, art and voice acting were incredible today. I really hope they keep this going forward. |

| Damn, that was a great conclusion! This episode ended it! but I do wonder what will happen after that... Now this is what a troll message looks like... or probably not... (⌐■-■) |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| They are finally free from the green parasite, but I was hoping for Bell's battle be more exciting |
| They did this fight better than I expected, really cool to see Bell pulling up those moves, and the OST has been doing its thing this season for sure. Since ep6 also leaked, I got to see where it adapts, and it sucks but I guess we will need to wait till episode 7 to get Ryu in full time... Rezete_01 said: They are finally free from the green parasite, but I was hoping for Bell's battle be more exciting And it was, it was just that the final strike was less visualy impressive than the action scenes that lead prior to it. Also this is only the beggining of this season, in the whole spectrum of what will happen, this fight will appear minor to the real stuff, cant wait. |

| YELP, indeed this and next episode got leaked pretty badly, and it's pure RAWs, not french-subbed nor the fansubs. That said, Haruhime's magic power that has been in training with Aisha in secret for quite awhile, to see the full extent certainly is befitting of her "Ninetails"-like power boost, powering people for every tail. Of course, this comes with the caveat that it's a one-time use for last resort as the ace-in-the-hole. But without them knowing, it's most certainly helping the Moss Huge grow larger, and all that effort was for naught with Aisha being its latest victim to get the parasite, save for the others' attacks that only renders its immortality even further. With monsters surrounding them at ever corner, the end moment comes if they don't act fast. Dormul and gang certainly would not relent to risk their lives if it means getting the Hestia Familia party out of the dungeon's Lower Floor. All that's left now, rests on Lili's decision as the strategist, and when all hope seems lost, Bell came back on the laurels of his strongest Firebolt ever for a 1-on-1 fight against the enhanced Moss Huge that for a Level 4, he's been training for this moment to be even faster, to match those of the minotaur Asterius's level, and with Welf's custom-made magically-imbued knife for a one-hit KO strike of Argo Vesta (Heroic Slash of Holy Flame), the Moss Huge is finally defeated. This is most certainly one of J.C.Staff's shining episodes in the franchise to add to the name of awesome and incredibles. |
 |
| They're not doing a bad job at JC Staff, but god watching this episode you really want to imagine what Ufotable, Mappa or some other top studio could have done with this. Some of the animation was rather limited to be honest. The next arc is going to be amazing |

| Another solid ep. Lili really has come into her own as a character, far from what she used to be since we met her. Bell's fight with the Moss Huge wasn't too visually impressive but I'm not gonna give it much flack. But damn, I'm impressed JC really did a bang up job givin volume 12 a good 5 eps cause I expected it to be rushed. At this point I can't imagine they would go out of their way to rush vols 13 and 14 so maybe it's safe to say this season really is a 2 cour. I'm so hyped for what comes next. |

| Haruhime’s Uchide no Kozuchi or whatever is like a super level booster huh? But man, this Moss Huge is a smart bastard. He lured the gang in and had them kill the crabs for their magic crystals. Sneaky! My girl Aisha got hit and Welf with his Koga didn’t even do shit except wreck his sword. Things REALLY weren’t looking good for the team at that point. I really love how much Lili has stepped up though. Leave no man behind! Bell really just made it in time too. Let’s go Bell! This big bastard was getting slapped around for once. Bell’s movements are much more precise and he’s a lot more agile. Dude’s really coming into his own in the lower floors! He took on the Iguaza and the Minotaur, this Moss Huge ain’t shit! And then there it was, his trusty Firebolt! Lol the big guy tried to run too. He knew he was totally fucked. Hell yeah Bell! That’s our Little Rookie. |
| Well another really intense episode but in the end Bell saved the day he did have some help finding his group tho. It's also ice the see that Haruhime learned some useful skill to help out the group even if it's something that takes a long time to cast and can only be used in a emergency. Now lets hope this group reaches the surface safely seeing they have a large group to care for. |
| Yo Argo Vesta was sick, Bell kicked ass. My boy has really come far. Also I'm glad beating the monster undid the status effect for everyone. |
 |
Polvo_Aranha said: So should I pretend I didn't notice level five Aisha didn't stand a chance against that monster, but the same monster couldn't land a single attack on level four Bell? This episode was disappointing. They literally talked about why that was the case literally in the episode. |
| Bell really leveled up. Compared to that Minotaur he fought this one is nothing to him. |
| I wonder if in the future Haruhime will get 9 tails. So 9 boosts. The dungeon wanted so much see that fight that got a arena close by. Next episode I need to see the moss huge crystal. If isn't the size of a small car I will disappointed.Or small, but very shiny. When they cut to that frozen frame, Aisha must had passed out from blood loss. |
 |
| Finally started this season last weekend and caught up just in time, it seems, for this climactic episode. The rest of the group didn't stand a chance against the enhanced monster but thankfully Bell came in to save the day. The action sequences in this episode, throughout the fight and leading up to Bell's finishing blow, were fire. I've been enjoying this season so far more than the previous seasons so I'm looking forward to seeing whats coming after this. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| so Bell has a new killer move called Argo Vesta eh but damn majority of the battle scenes are poorly animated Polvo_Aranha said: I don't know. I just can't put up with the fact a full power level four is stronger than a mid level five. I mean, even a weaker level 5 should be stronger than a full power level four, otherwise the entire levels thing would be bullsh#t. its already explained that there is a gap or lack of mastery between the level boost skill and an actual trained level 4 like Bell |
| honestly, this is the best episode of the season so far |
| Grimoires huh seems somewhat of a doubled edged sword in this world. While it has a long casting time Haruhime's ability is simply amazing not to mention pretty. Being one that enhances the effect of her other unique ability is a great bonus as well. Though its effect is only brief its effect on the field is devastating. But Moss huge sure managed to outthink them. I didn't think it could get any bigger and more powerful thats for sure. Lili's determination to change herself and prove to Bell that she's worthy of standing by him as a comrade really is admirable. Bell's return sure was timely. Its ironic that its his time trying to survive in the lower levels that Bell's been able to refine his moves and transform himself once more. But man the moss's regen speed is just disgusting. But man Bell's fight against the moss sure was impressive. Wish it was longer but given how tired Bell was it was fine. Its good that they managed to cover v14 more or less perfectly. Now on to Ryu's arc in v15. |

| Bell has finally rejoined and finally defeated that Moss Huge monster and Haruhime's new ability gave everyone a huge level boost. Lili's decision to hold her ground payed off despite the entire party being surrounded by monsters. I guess its time to go back to the surface since Aisha and Mikoto got banged up. |

| What an Episode this was... Starting with Haruhime beautiful incantation, 5 level boost. Argo Vesta! Bell vs Moss Huge was EPIC!! From the Animation sequence till the OST are really incredible. JC Staff you guys did great this time. |
 |
| Fuck me seven which ways sideways! Now that was epic. I had a little rant last episode about not enough Bell, but at the start of eps after Haruhime when full on fox tail incantation early on I'd almost forgot about Bell. Absolutely an epic episode of a story I wont soon forget. Loved it! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| With how intelligent this Moss Huge showed itself to be, was it basically a xenos or a stage below? The peanut gallery is have good front row seats to Bell's fight. Is this the last we see of the mermaid? https://imgur.com/gallery/Z1rK3b2 |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Now those were some really epic fights scenes. This episode was pretty amazing. |
 |
| Another bad episode, who cares this monster, who cares this characters. There isn'T depth to anything, there isn't anything interesting about world or characters. Who cares random mob they kill each episode which they wasted 5 episode on this. Why they even bothering adapting this trash? Same plot for 4 seasons straight, now you understand why people dropped this show long ago. |

| Not for nothing, but Haruhime's spell, realistically, takes way too long to cast. And, I guess it just gave her AoE? I was expecting something far more impressive. And, Jesus fucking Christ, as if Moss Huge couldn't get any worse -- I've seen enough hentai to know where this is headed. Bell's grand entrance was actually a bit underwhelming for me. But, if nothing else, his victory over Moss Huge was fairly impressive. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Haruhime's AoE style level up boost was very impressive and it gave the team a much needed boost in their battle. However, their fightback benefited Moss huge as it gained more crystals to gobble up, transforming in the process that the others, not even Aisha, could get the better of despite the level boost due to the unbalance of the boost within herself. Thankfully, Bell made his grand entrance and faced off against Moss huge in a 1v1. My expectations for this battle was met with ease as it had some strong animation quality and a solid OST to back it up. Bell's final move, Argo Vesta, looked slick and epic as he used it to finish off Moss huge once and for all. With the fight over, Marie made a quick appearance to thank Bell and also added "I love you!" before she departed. I hope we can get to see her again soon. =) Overall, this episode was very good. Hopefully it won't be long before we see another battle with some stellar fluid animation quality again. |
Polvo_Aranha said: deg said: its already explained that there is a gap or lack of mastery between the level boost skill and an actual trained level 4 like Bell Which means... you fail to understand that they need to master their body that leveled up and a lot of times they cannot fully control their level up body because its too strong for them at the moment and their mind is not yet familiar/accustomed with a sort of new body, its a mind and body gap coordination just like the hand and eye coordination in real life |
| Wonderful episode, I love DanMachi, great series! ^_^ |
