Never put others well being before your personal freedom.

Do the other Xenos have gems like Wiene too? I didn't notice. I'm going to assume they all do, otherwise Dix couldn't have known removing it was the way to turn her back into a monster.

Listen to this man. Dix was a slave grasping at whatever freedom he could.

It's just Wiene due to her species.

Bell really is an idiot fighting someone who way better but at less he stands up for what he believes in

That's nonsense. All he did was trade one unbearable drive for another, with the second drive causing him to torture sentient, innocent beings.

There is no freedom in this.

Technically the only ones he wouldn't be able to fight on par with right now would be Finn, Riveria, Gareth, and Ais (level 6). I think the others there were only level 5, at least. With Haruhime's help, that is.

Though that's still far too much for him to handle on his own. He'll need at least the Minotaur's help, since that Minotaur is at least level 6 in terms of power as noted by his one-shotting the level 5 Shakti (I think that's her name, at least).

And, honestly, he seems to enjoy it way too much .

I wonder who'll be more surprised to see Bell Cranel teaming-up with a Minotaur...everyone around or Bell himself ?

The more i watch this show the more Bell really pisses me off because he's a terrible protagonist for a fighting show but he's somehow survived. It's hard to get a read on him really

I have the same feeling. The more I watch the further this goes from the infamous ep 8 from season 1. I might be dropping this show soon.

Many of the side-characters are ok, but something doesn't work (maybe it's Bell's behaviour, maybe it's the story that feels less and less defined) to stick it all together.

I think he's a pretty likeable and effective protagonist for this story, personally .

Dix was not a slave grasping at freedom. He was a slave submitting to his Master.

He CHOSE the second. That's freedom.

Submitting to his master would mean slaving away to finish Knossos.

[magnuskn]

I'll be honest, the total wussification they are doing with Bell isn't really working out with me. Yeah, he was always an innocent purehearted idealist, but he was also kicking major ass later in S1 and so far he is only doing the first part and getting kicked in the head. A lot. I mean, he is standing up for his convictions and that is a huge part of the story of this season, but in the last episode alone he got thrown around like a rag doll for minutes on end and landed one satisfying falcon punch. Guys, you gotta give us some satisfying fights so that we can get a S4!

No he didn't. He chose nothing. He did what gave him relief, relief from the pain of his blood. It's the equivalent of a master torturing his slave into willingly doing what he wants. "You do as I say, and the pain stops."

Again, no it's not. His blood isn't driving him to finish the labyrinth anymore. It's driving him to hurt creatures from the original labyrinth because that's how much Daedalus hated it.

Bell is punching above his league, he's outclassed. How would you like being tossed into a ring with a champion MMA fighter and then be mocked for losing? There's no wussification here, Bell is out of his league but still fighting.

A drug addict realizing he can get high from torturing and murdering people and choosing to do that instead for a high doesn't mean he isn't still an addict. He just changed what he was addicted to for the worse.

Literally the same thing here. There is no freedom. He made a choice, but he's still a slave to his uncontrollable desires.

This too.

That's the problem with dealing with humans as enemies instead of monsters. Humans have clearly defined levels, and anything with escalating power will outpace the hero. The issue here is he's had three human opponents in a row now (Apollo familia with the level 3 as its face, Ishtar familia with the level 4 as its face (even though it had a level 5 or 6, Bell didn't face her), and now the level 5 Dix. To escalate things further, now he has to deal with the Loki familia... with its multiple level 6.

It's part of why I really wish they adapted more Sword Oratoria. Give a break between Bell fighting humans for a bit.

Well, he is up against a level 5 this time and he's only 3. That's a pretty huge gap.

His blood compels him to complete Knossos and produces a sense of dissatisfaction until its finished, which it never will be in his lifetime. Tormenting the Xenos gave him him satisfaction that nothing else could. His compulsion causes him pain and hurting the Xenos is the only thing that gives him relief. To say his compulsion is driving his sadistic tendency is incorrect. When was it said Daedalus hated monsters?

A misleading analogy. In this case, the guy was addicted from birth and never had a choice in said addiction. He's on constant withdrawal with no hope of ever getting clean. Killing monsters is his only way of getting relief.

Right. There's a choice which means there was freedom.

Daedalus doesn't "Hate the monsters" per say, he hates everything about the Labyrinth, and the Xenos would be it's children. Not the normal monsters, they have no intelligence, no emotion, no soul. That's why he gets satisfaction from the torturing/humiliating/killing the Xenos; they act like real offspring of the labyrinth. Hurting the dungeon, stabbing it's walls, breaking them with hammers or blasting it with magic doesn't do anything for him, the dungeon can't cry, but the Xenos can.

We'll have to agree to disagree, since clearly you think freedom is choosing anything even if it's just choosing what to be a slave to.

Where and when was this even said? Daedalus was captivated by the dungeon, which is why he wanted to build Knossos. Are you confusing Daedulus and Dix?

[Metaneo]

Both, Daedalus' will is passed on to his descendants.
