It's back!

This episode did give the impression of hopeless and despair at first. However, all the buildup led to this war. I mean, Freya's own actions caused this to become what we see today in this timeline. Still, I like the way they made this episode, with the two sides. Bell's side having to fight through the odds while Freya's wants to make a statement. It's a hell of an episode imo with lot of emotions brewing.

Love to see the GOAT HERSELF RYUU pulling up to get her get back. Her and that animation were NOT playing. No surprises though, this is J.C.'s golden child for whatever reasons.

I ain't complaining though, because the animation while she was using the attack she used that she stole from the Astraea captain was just straight SAKUGA. Which ofc, as it should, did lead to Ryuuu fucking Dainsleif's shit UP AND THEM FINALLY DEFEATING ONE OF THE FREYA FAMILIA MEMBERS.

Ryuu, you have just earned even MOREEEE respect than I already had for you before.

YAAS!! Ryuu is back. I knew it was coming since I read the novels but damn, it was so satisfying to see it voiced and animation in style! As was Daphne's moment of GAR.

Great episode and I don't have too many complains. The animation was great for JC standards but they still cut some corners here and there. And I'ma bit disappointed that they don't introduce a new OP or new music even after a while.

Its funny seeing Take actually act like a god of war for a change. The tenacity of Bell's friends though were most impressive. Ryu's entrance on the field really was majestic. And her fight against Hogni was just top tier. Astrea record's reveal was just damm amazing. That went hand in hand with the entry of Astraea and the new generation of her now reborn familia. Not to mention paving the way for the ultimate when it came to turning tables with Heldin's sudden change.

Good thing that they have bodies to throw over. I guess.

Would be nice if Heith group was defeated there. Not from a strategic pojnt of view, but from the point that would run out of angles, seeing how much of clothes patches they still got. And seeing that the production want to maintain family friendly, apparently.

Ryu's comeback was really awesome. I'm glad that she has returned just in time to help out the allies and her upgrades were phenomenal.

Not only did she showcase how much stronger she was in her battle against Hogni, but the animation for the attacks really stepped up a few notches and it looked really nice. Overall, I'm very impressed and this was a great way to get back this 5th season after its delay. =)

Oh shit I didn’t know we were back yesterday, thought it was next week!! Just JC casually dropping their best ever Danmachi episode with no fanfare! This was incredible. Pure fucking chills when Ryu descended from the sky like a Valkyrie or sword goddess. Astrea record was beautiful. You could feel all her old friends fighting alongside her and I love her updated design!! The choreography, sound design and voice acting, all immense.

What a fucking cliffhanger too! Hedin taking out his own allies?? wtf??

After this episode we all in agreement Ryu is best girl right?

This episode was absolutely worth the wait.
I hope the rest of the season maintains this level of quality. The choreography and animation were absolutely top-tier. And that stunning fight in this episode wasn’t even the final battle of the season! I can’t wait to see the showdown with the King.

Honestly, if other anime delayed episodes more often to deliver this kind of quality instead of rushing out something half-baked just to meet a deadline, I wouldn’t mind at all.

Was not expecting this to return today, I thought we were waiting till March, but hey I’m not complaining lol, and we didn’t just get one episode, but two back to back, definitely very nice to have, especially after the cliffhanger this episode ended on. And boy did JC Staff cook with this one, I can see why they had to delay this now, Ryu popping off needed to look this good and I’d say they delivered and then some, her battle against Hogni aka Edgelord Extreme was very satisfying to watch. It was sad seeing the different gods drop one by one, including Daphne and Cassandra, but Ryu absolutely saved it with her entrance, and I gotta say this new design of hers is a great mix of badass and hot, perfect for DanMachi lol.

And man it is really cool seeing the Astrea Familia being brought up again along with Ryu’s friends of the past from Season 4, with Alise making an appearance when Ryu used a skill only she could use, it’s crazy how relevant she is to the story despite being dead before episode 1 of Season 1, but she has such a good design so I’m glad she’s being used in any respect, Ryu looked really cool while channeling her and her flames as well. And just when the half naked healers thought they were gonna undo Ryu’s nuclear streak, Hedin of all people struck his own comrades down, that really surprised me, is he betraying them or is this a matter of pride in not resurrecting his fallen allies when they lost fair and square? Thankfully episode 13 is already out so I don’t gotta wonder for long lol.

@Hylianticipated When you level up you might get special skills and abilities or maybe even new spells. Ryu leveled up two levels, so she was bound to get a new magic ability.

@Hylianticipated Adventurers can obtain magic through their Falna (the God's blessing). Some magic are obtained as a result of experiences that marked said adventurers. For example, Anya's magic was born out of her fear of being abandoned by her brother (you can tell because of the chant and the effect of the magic). In Ryuu's case she obtained her magic (Astrea Record) after overcoming her survivor's guilt and inheritance of Astrea Familia's justice. Her magic allows her to use all the magic her former companions of Astrea Familia could use, which is why she can use Alise's Agaris Alvesynth.

As for her overall buff in power it's because she is currently a Level 6 like Hogni. She was a top tier among Level 4s even before her Familia's destruction so all the battles she went through after that were enough to allow her to level up to 5 and then to 6, as she had multiple great feats and the Excelia to upgrade her stats for the level up. That said, it was still kind of an asspull to keep Ryuu relevant in the story but most people let it slide because keeping Ryuu relevant is a good thing.

I'm not sure which people you refer, but if it's not the gods that arrived with Astrea then you probably mean the new members of Astrea Familia. You aren't forgetting them, they are new characters.

and again, Lili's plan sucks. She didn't know Ryu would show up, neither could she be sure Hedin would betray his side. Her plan wouldn't have succeeded without these two things.

Usually, I don’t watch the anime I love on a weekly basis, I wait until they finish. But *DanMachi* is an exception! I’ve been waiting so long for this episode…

The episode was amazing, 10/10! Seeing Ryu again with new powers was fantastic, and seeing Ottar and Bell once more made me even more excited for the upcoming episodes!

I hope to watch episodes 13, 14, and 15 as soon as possible! I want to know everything!

Nah those two random guys were supposed to be the sons of Thor? man that's mad disrespectful. Even God of War didn't do them as dirty. They are literally called Wrath (Modi) and Might(Magni) and together with their sister (Thrud/strength) they are Thor's children.
Pretty sure they survive Ragnarok as well. Magni also saves his Father's life at the age of 3 days old.
Ogma, Selket and Sobek were... fine I guess apart from the fact that they made her blonde... unless she's the one on the left at 03:42 then it's more accurate. Meanwhile Ogma is Irish and should actually be blond but isn't none of those guys were... unless it was the guy hidden in the clay pot. And the other guy Sobek is also Egyptian which is also a stretch with his appearance here no matter which of those guys he was supposed to be.
Like Takemikazuchi is allowed to be capable meanwhile the literal sons of thor are treated like garbage... like come on now... I know they also made Hephaistos a woman and not even remotely ugly... but still...
Like if you're gonna include all these mythologies which I like and is cool, at least don't play such hard favorites and try to do them all a little bit justice. The Greek ones have all been fairly cool as well as the Japanese ones. But some of the norse, germanic and egyptian ones have been pretty awful like Loki is great but then the rest has been yeah...
Gotta love having Ryu pop off though, and seeing her use Alise's move/magic.
XD NAH that looked like she just launched him through the stratosphere.
Anyway reckon that bit at the end was what Bell was talking about ms. no clothes sure didn't see it coming though.

unskippable ED show is back!

I knew Ryu would come back, but she got an insane powerup?!

I hate to ask, but am I supposed to remember who Alise is?

Considering how strong their healers are, you would expect them (or well Ryu since everyone else is down) to target them first. So I wonder if she knew Hedin would betray (?) Freya?

PS: Werent the gods supposed to not get directly attacked? And not actually "fight" either?
