DanMachi, also known as Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, is a popular anime series based on the light novels by Fujino Omori. The story follows Bell Cranel, a young adventurer who dreams of becoming a hero and meeting his ideal girl in the dungeon, a vast labyrinth filled with monsters and treasures. Along the way, he meets various allies and enemies, and learns more about the secrets of the dungeon and the gods who reside in it.
The anime has four seasons, with the fourth airing from October to December 2021. The fans are eagerly waiting for the fifth season, which has been confirmed by the official Twitter account of the anime. Here are some details about DanMachi Season 5 that you should know.
DanMachi Season 5 Release Date
The release date of DanMachi Season 5 has not been announced yet, but it is expected to come out sometime in 2024. The fourth season covered volumes 10 and 11 of the light novels, so the fifth season will likely adapt volumes 12 and 13. There are currently 17 light novels published in Japan, with the 18th volume scheduled for December 2021. This means there is enough source material for more anime seasons.
DanMachi Season 5: What will be next?
The plot of DanMachi Season 5 will continue the story of Bell and his friends as they face new challenges and enemies in the dungeon. The fifth season will focus on the Xenos arc, which introduces a group of intelligent monsters who can communicate with humans and have their own culture and society. The Xenos are persecuted by both humans and other monsters, and seek refuge in the dungeon. Bell becomes involved in their plight, and has to make a difficult decision that will affect his relationship with his goddess, Hestia, and his fellow adventurers.
The Xenos arc is one of the most important and emotional arcs in the light novels, as it explores the themes of racism, discrimination, coexistence, and morality. It also features some epic battles and shocking revelations that will change the course of the story.
