I want to see who you think is the BEST fit for Bell.
(assuming everyone is the same age)

I included every character that has expressed a romantic love for him.

Mostly spoiler-free, but there are hints so don’t look too deeply if you’re not caught up.

I love Ryuu but he will definitely end up with Aiz.

I haven't read the last book and the last season catches up the parts i have read so there is no spoilers here.

The writer loves cooking the stories in background.

Freya's interest was one of those background stories. But THE main story is still waiting, only being teased.

The "Grandfather" hasn't been introduced directly. Parents of Bell is still a mystery, although there are some hints in the books. The deep floors and the dragon are waiting to be conquered.

Level 10 is the maximum. Yet, even Ottar is far away from it.

Aiz and Bell are destined lovers but that can't end up together before the last floor.

If you want to talk about that I must say Freya's VA sounds like a middle aged mom (She is 39)

The voice acting of Inorin (Hestia's VA) is much more hotter to the 20yo guy I am.

...for me, Tsubaki is best girl/woman from Danmachi.

The list here, I go with Ryu slightly over Ais. Bell and Ryu went through a lot together last season.

Ryuu all the way, she is the one Bell should pick.

Especially after last season, everything they went through together, and she is incredibly cute and lovey at the end.

Sad she ran away and didn’t tell him her feelings for him.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Aiz, that's the motive of the series I guess. His driving fuel is to stand by the girl he admires and the one who saved his life from the minotaur in that dungeon.

Hestia honestly girl does so much work keeping a roof over his head it an't even funny.

Ais Wallenstein kinda lost my respect after the Xenos arc

Tsubaki is an interesting favorite! Good taste.

She’s not on the list for the same reason as Aisha (flirty but no real romantic connection)

I’m desperately hoping Ryuu pulls ahead somehow. Ais is too plain.

Strongly agree.

I really at least need her to confess so there can be some closure if nothing else.

Honestly great take. There’s just something about being with Hestia that feels wrong.

Like Hestia and Hermes makes more sense (imo)

Ais is always shown as someone he admires, but so far, not as someone he loves.

I haven't really seen him look at anyone with love. He cares about people, and some like Hestia and Ryuu love him, while Freya is obsessed with him.

I think I'd vote for Ryuu because they are closer to equals, both being mortals, and Ryuu has actually shown interest.

I kinda hate that they seemed destined considering Bell doesn't show much romantic interest and Ais hardly shows any emotion at all. It's like they're destined for the plot but not because the characters want it. (Bell shows embarrassment around nudity and maybe a physical interest, but hardly anything coming to romance for anyone. Ryuu seems closer to romance.)

Ais, because she's the only one Bell actually thinks about having a relationship with. I can't choose someone he doesn't like... But my favorite among these is the goddess Hestia, I like her crazy way of acting in situations, she's cute too:3

Yea I feel they will be missing the opportunity to have a deeper meaning if they let it be Aiz.

Like what’s the takeaway? Stay obsessed and ignore the people right in front of you who are good to you?

But it will be interesting to see how the “main plot” starts to unfold.

Also these poll results are kind of surprising.

I’m super happy Ryuu is number one though 🤩

But for a while y’all had Freya over Hestia, smh 🙂‍↔️

Also how on earth y’all let Lili be dead last even over the Eina??

@Xarhoom ...thanks! Yeah Tsubaki is a cool cat; strong, easy-going, hardworking with her smithing skills too. I like side characters who can shine in their own distinctive style, no matter how limited the screen time/presence they have.

Season 4 already was a game-changer overall, but a nice cherry was seeing Tsubaki in action while leading that small support team in the deep floors of dungeon(Danmachi was always solid 8 series IMO, but S4 got one of the only five 10's I've given)

@notaweebprobably Ryuu Lion Gang rise up 😈 I'm very pleased we're now the majority

@Ganoh I need you to explain the appeal of Aiz. She has the personality of a cardboard cut-out.

@1bubb1 Season 4 actually shocked me. Danmachi was just a cool chill show for me then S4 happened and I was jaw-dropped 😱. S5 is starting to get interesting but it started veryyyy slow :/

P.s. everyone voting for Freya needs to go to horny-jail 🤣 she's actually psycho.

it's not even about picking a favorite, it's just that harem endings are objectively the best answer to any harem series, especially fantasy ones

@Saimatsu_Fan Does Danmachi really count as a harem series though? It's not like Bell is going out of his way to go after girls and there's at least Welf in his same familia

@RavenWolf1 But Ryuu RISKED HER LIFE for him like 3 times over?!

I do agree Freya is "doing the most" she's doing too much to be precise.
