2. Recap of Episode 8 of Danmachi Season 5
Episode 8 of Danmachi Season 5, titled Desires: Bell Cranel kicked off with Hedin Selland pushing Bell to his absolute limit during training. It wasn’t just intense; it was borderline life-threatening. Other members of the Familia stepped in, concerned for Bell, but Hedin justified his actions.
According to him, Bell needs to prove he’s worthy of Freya’s love by becoming her Odr. Hogni tried to reason with Hedin, arguing that this brutal regime was damaging Bell’s purity—something Freya loves about him. But Hedin shot back, insisting that Freya herself is the one truly suffering, and pushing Bell harder is the only way to “save” her.

Meanwhile, Hestia was plotting in her own way. She sought Welf’s help to access the warehouse, under the guise of retrieving an old loan bill. Welf stumbled upon a piece of worn-out armor, sparking some nostalgia, while Hestia met with Asfi.
Hestia learned that the Freya Familia’s obsession with Bell might offer her a slim opportunity to strike. She contemplated passing on the mysterious note to Hermes, weighing the risks and timing. Back at Folkvangr, Bell seemed completely drained, caught in the monotony of his forced new life. Freya’s nightly visits only made things worse.

For a moment, it seemed like Bell might actually give in to her. But a flash of Syr’s tearful face reignited his determination. The next day, his search for Syr led him to the Hostess of Fertility, where the staff denied knowing her. Thankfully, Mama Mia dropped a cryptic yet encouraging line, reminding Bell to trust himself and keep fighting.
Bell took her advice to heart. Armed with his memories and determination, he approached Ais Wallenstein for help. Though she didn’t fully remember him, their connection seemed to stir something in her. Bolstered by this, Bell shocked everyone by landing a scratch on Hedin during their next training session—finally showing some fight.
