In Episode 4 of "DanMachi II," the focus is on the highly anticipated War Game between the Hestia Familia and the Apollo Familia, a battle that showcases strategy, courage, and the power of unity. The episode begins with the newly expanded Hestia Familia, including Lili, Welf, and Mikoto, preparing for the siege, while Ryu supports them from the sidelines.
On the eve of the War Game, Cassandra, a member of the Apollo Familia, voices a premonition about the outcome of the battle, particularly after observing a mysterious small figure, Luan, entering the fortress with a heavily loaded wagon. Cassandra's concerns hint at a decisive turning point in the War Game.
At the start of the battle, which is closely watched by the residents and deities of Orario, the vastly outnumbered Hestia Familia launches a dynamic attack. Ryu, wielding two of Welf's magic swords, leads a fierce assault, breaches Apollo Familia's defenses, and creates an opening for Mikoto to infiltrate the castle courtyard.
Mikoto's strategic use of high-level gravity magic plays a pivotal role, incapacitating a significant portion of Apollo's forces and further tipping the scales in favor of the Hestia Familia. The battle grows increasingly intense, and it becomes clear that the individual strengths and strategies of the Hestia Familia members are the key to their success against overwhelming odds.
In a surprising twist, the figure initially mistaken for Luan is revealed to be Lilisuke in disguise, who had infiltrated the fortress the night before. This deception allows Bell and Welf to enter the central tower, where Hyakinthos, the leader of the Apollo Familia, is stationed.
When Bell faces Hyakinthos, a high-stakes duel ensues. Bell's resilience and strategic thinking, honed through Ais's training, enable him to overcome Hyakinthos's formidable abilities. The decisive moment comes when Bell, with the help of a pendant gifted by Syr—representing the Freya Familia—narrowly avoids defeat and delivers a critical blow to Hyakinthos, securing victory for the Hestia Familia.
The outcome of the War Game is a triumphant moment for the Hestia Familia and their supporters, with significant consequences for the Apollo Familia. Hestia asserts her authority by seizing Apollo's assets, disbanding his familia, and banishing him from Orario. In a symbolic gesture, Hestia marks her new palace with a combined emblem of her protective flame and Bell's namesake, heralding a new era for her Familia.
