Episode 3 of "DanMachi" begins where the last episode left off: a massive silverback monster chasing Hestia and Bell, who is trying to protect his goddess. While it seems like Ais might come to their aid, she is actually engaged in a battle elsewhere. The real turning point comes when Hestia, instead of running away, deliberately puts herself in danger to help Bell, much to his initial frustration.
In a moment of pause, Hestia presents Bell with the "Hestia Knife," a symbol of her trust in his abilities and their mutual bond. This gift not only strengthens Bell physically but also boosts his self-confidence and faith in himself and Hestia. The episode portrays their relationship as one of equals, transcending the traditional dynamic of a deity and their follower.
Encouraged by Hestia's support, Bell faces the silverback with renewed vigor. He demonstrates remarkable agility and strength, ultimately defeating the monster with a precise strike. This victory, followed by Hestia's embrace and the crowd's cheers, marks the climax of the episode.
However, the triumph carries a bittersweet note, as Hestia collapses from exhaustion after overexerting herself in crafting the knife and supporting Bell. This moment is observed from afar by Freya, who seems pleased with Bell's performance and hints at future encounters.
The episode ends on a quieter note: Bell and Hestia recover at an inn provided by Syr and the proprietress. Syr, moved by Bell's bravery, confesses her feelings to him, adding a romantic dimension to the story. As Hestia awakens, she expresses her unwavering support and love for Bell, further solidifying their bond.
