Episode 6 of DanMachi Season 3 leads to a significant showdown between Bell and Dix, a descendant of Daedalus. The episode skillfully navigates through various character interactions and plot developments, setting the stage for the climax of the battle.
The episode begins with Ikelos observing from a high tower as Ganesha's suppression force clashes with armed monsters. Meanwhile, Ryuu, Aisha, and Asfi arrive at the scene but fail to locate the disguised Bell. Bell's cover is soon blown when he encounters Lyd, the leader of the Xenos, and the two engage in a thrilling conversation. Lyd reveals the tragic motive behind the Xenos' retaliation against humans, triggered by the killing of their kin by poachers.
However, peace between humans and Xenos seems increasingly unattainable as Lyd's companions, particularly Gros, are consumed by anger and vengeance. Bell's resolve to help the Xenos is further strengthened when he learns that Wiene is among the captives.
In a supportive gesture, Ryuu gives Bell an item that proves immediately useful when he later meets Fels. Fels introduces Bell to a network of hidden, man-made passages leading to a labyrinth built by Daedalus centuries ago. This discovery provides a new path to reach the Xenos.
Meanwhile, Hestia Familia, unable to participate directly, watches the events unfold from afar. Lili, drawing on her past experiences, suggests using her knowledge of smuggling networks to aid their cause.
Both Bell, accompanied by Fels, and the Xenos, led by Lyd and Gros, navigate the labyrinth through different routes but converge at a holding area where the Xenos are imprisoned. Their rescue efforts are abruptly interrupted by the arrival of Ikelos Familia and Dix.
Dix reveals his lineage as a direct descendant of Daedalus, burdened with the legacy of completing the unfinished Knossos. His involvement in monster and Xenos smuggling serves as a means to fund this massive architectural project, though he openly despises his ancestor's obsession.
The situation escalates when Dix triggers a curse that sends the Xenos into a berserk state. Fels advises Bell that the only way to lift the curse and save Wiene is to defeat Dix, a terrifying Level 5 opponent.
