In Episode 5 of DanMachi Season 3, tensions escalate dramatically as the conflict between humans and Xenos intensifies, leading to dire consequences and complex moral dilemmas.
The episode begins with Dix and his group overpowering the Xenos guarding Wiene, ultimately capturing her. The episode takes a dark turn when Ranieh, the spider woman, chooses death over falling into the hands of Dix's cruel men, further highlighting the malice of Dix and his followers.
Gros, the gargoyle, reacts with fury to these events, severing ties with humans and plotting revenge. He destroys the communication device linking Lyd and Fels, rallying the Xenos to retaliate. Despite Gros' rage, Lyd and Rei, who remain alive and sane, follow him in hopes of preventing further escalation and preserving the progress in human-Xenos relations.
Meanwhile, the perspective shifts to Ais Wallenstein, whose rigid stance toward monsters starkly contrasts with Bell's understanding of the Xenos. This ideological divide sets the stage for a potential conflict between Bell and Ais, complicating Bell's efforts to foster mutual understanding between humans and Xenos.
The situation reaches a boiling point when the Guild issues an emergency alert, announcing an armed monster attack on Livira and enforcing a dungeon lockdown. To prevent further violence, Ouranos orders an intervention by the Ganesha Familia's suppression squad, instructing them to subdue rather than kill the Xenos. Bell is assigned to this squad, positioning him as a key mediator in the unfolding crisis.
Various factions in Orario react differently to the news: the Loki Familia anticipates deeper involvement in the conflict, the Freya Familia is intrigued by their exclusion, and the Hermes Familia worries for Bell's safety. At Hermes' behest, Asfi recruits Aisha and Ryuu to support Bell, forming a dynamic team for the upcoming mission.
Dix, who has taken possession of Wiene but remains oblivious to the consequences of his actions, has unwittingly fueled Gros' wrath, shattering any hope of peaceful coexistence between humans and Xenos. Meanwhile, Ikelos revels in the chaos his family has caused.
As Bell prepares to enter the dungeon with the Ganesha Familia, he faces the daunting task of restoring dialogue with the Xenos amid the suppression squad's hostility. The episode underscores the complexity of the situation: Bell's individual efforts are insufficient to convince all humans, just as Lyd's and Rei's efforts fall short of convincing all Xenos.
