Summary
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon’stitular character has come a long way since the show’s first season. From starting off as a level 1 adventurer to now being just shy of level 5, Bell Cranel has grown tremendously in a span of mere months. While Bell is already a special character consideringhis ties to Zeus, this specific feat can be associated with Bell’s skill, Liaris Freese.
Liaris Freese is a skill laced with many intricacies, and much still remains unknown about its workings. However, after four seasons of DanMachi, the complexities of this power can be pieced together from the various instances of its usage. With season 5 ofIs It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeoncurrently airing, Liaris Freese is sure to become a more prominent element in the series.
What Is Bell’s Liaris Freese?
A Skill Stemming From Extreme Emotions
While most adventurers tend to rely on physical stats such as strength, endurance, and agility, others make use of special skills and abilities that further boost these stats. Liaris Freese is a similar skill, as it merely serves as a tool for stat boosting and gaining increased experience. While the skill itself might be rather simple, its true complexity lies in its workings. It’s also worth noting that the skill makes Bell immunes to charms as well.
Effects last as long as their feelings remain unchanged.
For the skill to activate and boost Bell’s stats, he must experience strong emotions and an immense desire to grow. Initially, rivaling Ais and reaching her level served as a trigger to activate Liaris Freese, though he was able to activate the skill through other sources of motivation as well. While some associate Liaris Freese with Bell’s connection to Zeus, the power can be traced back toBell’s own fateand strong emotions.
The Workings of the Skill
Liaris Freese Can Boost Bell’s Stats
Liaris Freese is a bit more complicated than simply being a mere stat-boosting skill. The skill modifies two aspects of the leveling system ofDanMachi. First, the skill removes the upper limit for each stat, meaning Bell can amass a much higher grade that goes beyond the cap of S grade. Normal adventurers can only max out their grade to S, while Bell can go beyond into SS and SSS territory. By amassing a higher grade, Bell can level up much faster compared to his counterparts.
Effects are greater with stronger feeling.
The second aspect that Liaris Freese modifies is the amount of Excelia Bell can gain from a single fight. Regular adventures only gain a handful of points for each stat after each fight. However, Bell’s stats can dramatically increase after defeating a handful of monsters, allowing him to amass more stats and level up much faster. This aspect of Liaris Freese has allowed him to jump 4 levels in a span of less than a year, even breaking the previously heldrecord of Ais Wallensteinof reaching level 2 the fastest.
How Did Bell Gain This Power?
Liaris Freese Is Connected to Bell’s Emotions for Ais
Adventurers can gain skills and magic prowess through their gods and goddesses. However, some adventures can awaken skills through sheer chance or a moment of extreme emotions. Bell Cranel’s Liaris Freese is a similar case, as he gained the skill by chance after being saved byAis Wallenstein in the Dungeon.
Bell’s desire to reach up to Ais' level, coupled with his strong romantic sentiments for her, resulted in the awakening of the skill known as Liaris Freese. Since the skill was manifested through the intensity of Bell’s emotionsinside the Dungeon, activating it requires similar circumstances. This means that Bell can only use this stat-boosting skill in dire moments.
The Extent of Bell’s Liaris Freese
The Skill Goes Beyond Merely Relying on Romantic Sentiments
During the initial seasons ofIs It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, it was believed that Liaris Freese could only be activated via Bell’s sentiments towards Ais. However, during Bell’s fight against the minotaur, his Liaris Freese skill was activated by his intensedesire to protect Wiene. This event debased the preset notion of Liaris Freese being associated solely with Bell’s romantic sentiments.
While his obsession with Ais and his goal of catching up to her may have served as the initial trigger for the skill, Liaris Freese is no longer dependent on romantic emotions for Ais. Instead, any form of intense emotions or desire to protect his loved ones can trigger the skill, lending Bell a boost in his fighting power, coupled with an exponential increase in his stats.
