Who’s extra helpful: the goddess or the maiden? It is a query that DanMachi requested often all through the run, displaying totally different examples every time. Ryu’s response was that the woman was when she deserted her goddess after the deaths of the opposite ladies in her household. Hestia nonetheless hasn’t discovered a solution, however her two selves – a girl and a goddess – are barely distinguishable from one another. And for Freya? On the finish of this episode, it looks as if she hoped to show that the woman was extra necessary, however when that did not work, she determined to go all out because the goddess. Her ultimate assertion that “Syr” is useless and that she’s going to now seize Bell as “Freya” is chilling, not solely as a result of she goes to take the kid of one other goddess, but in addition as a result of it lets us know that she is fulfilling her desires of a goddess has given up. Whether or not we come to her truthfully. She’s able to play foul.
I’ve mentioned earlier than that Freya Familia operates extra like a cult than the opposite familias we have seen to this point. This largely stems from the fanatical devotion to their goddess proven by the familia members, one thing we see in spades on this episode. Hörn’s try to kill Bell whereas disguising herself as Freya’s “Syr” persona is finished solely to stop her goddess from being tainted by her base emotions for an unworthy boy. She sees herself as saving Freya not solely from Bell, but in addition from herself. Her overwhelming need for the boy has blinded her in Hörn’s thoughts to the duties of her divinity and dignity. She desires her goddess to stay pure, a being she will proceed to worship unconditionally, and that has led her to “save” her from an imagined risk. She could also be effectively conscious {that a} romance outdoors the familia(s) could be tough, however she would quite protect her concept of who and what Freya must be than keep away from a large number between the households. We will additionally see this cult-like side of Freya Familia within the interplay between Anya and Alan – Alan, as we all know, is nicknamed Vana Freya, however now we study that Anya is Vana Alfi, indicating that she too was as soon as a part of the group. group. Alan is very snappy when speaking to his sister, and Anya snapping that her identify is just “Anya” today appears to point a rift not simply between the siblings, however between Anya and Freya Familia. Did she free herself from the cult? And does her brother discover that annoying?
That is all in stark distinction to Bell and Welf’s dialogue earlier within the episode. Their interplay is extremely brotherly, with Welf taking up the function of Bell’s older brother as he rigorously explains the state of affairs with Syr’s emotions and the way Bell ought to transfer ahead. His bluntness is tempered by real love for his fellow Hestia Familia member, and it is clear he is attempting to assist whereas being as trustworthy as potential. He know it will be simpler for Bell to simply ignore the alerts Syr is giving him, however he outlines why that will be a jerk, and gently helps Bell develop up a bit. Does it have the other impact? In all probability, however that is actually not Welf or Bell’s fault; they do not know but that Freya and Syr are the identical particular person. Welf simply desires Bell to be an excellent man, and Bell additionally does not need to deceive somebody who has been good to him since he arrived in Orario. The issue solely arises as a result of gods aren’t sure by the identical legal guidelines as people.
There actually aren’t any proper solutions for Bell. Bear in mind, the poor boy is just fourteen and is method out of his consolation zone with Syr’s sexual advances. We’re barely given any proof that his crush on Ais is on that stage. He desires to be an excellent particular person, however he is pushed too far, and through the complete date he appeared extra uncomfortable than completely satisfied. The title of this week’s episode, seidr (extra precisely: seiðr), refers to an historic type of Norse magic about telling and shaping the longer term. You possibly can say that each Hörn and Freya use it. The query turns into what sort of future Freya is about to unleash.
