Also during the Danmemo fes they showed something called a Grand Day Scenario.

The Grand Day Eve that's happening right now is the precursor. It's the festival celebrating the Zeus and Hera Familia's victory over the Behemoth (and I think Leviathan). The Grand Day event trailer shows Orario being destroyed and the black wind the Black Dragon's described to have (the Black Dragon's enveloped in it and there are black wind tornadoes). There isn't much information but it does show Bell and Lefiya encountering it

Seeing that poster makes me kind of sad.
if there's one character in the anime that got the shaft it's Naaza. And now they're going to make a movie that is apparently happening outside the dungeon and even outside orario, with an important archer character, and it's NOT going to be Naaza.
...
WHYYYY.

Here is the PV for Danmachi Arrow of Orion

That was an underwhelming pv tbh.

[AP24]

The PV confirmed the movie will come out in 2019. I guess that means second season is coming out next year too.

[Isnos]

I haven't seen mikoto in the PV, guess it's before S2 ?

[AP24]

Releasing the movie in January would be a stupid thing to do because that's when Love Live Sunshine movie will be released

Not necessarily. The story seems to happen outside of the dungeon, and Mikoto doesn't especially stick with everyone all the time. Especially, if it's outside of Orario, some peoples will always have to be left inside, you can't go outside with your whole familia like that, to avoid whole familias to join another State than Orario.

Yeah, true.

[Zefyris]

That being said, since it's original story and it's airing before season 2, i expect the story to at the bare minimum stay unclear about anything that happens after volume 5 even if it's somehow happening later in the timeline.

So, Lefiya and Bell actually encounter the Black Dragon?

It was an idea that the author wanted to implement into the story but he didn't so it is not canon. I also think it was for the danmachi game so that gives more evidence of it being not canon

Bell's encounter with the Black Dragon in the future is a must. Though it was a bit unexpected to include just him and Lefiya.

Yeah turns out it ain't the black dragon but actually subspecies of the Behemoth
Weird

[Tachibana]

I'm ok with that. It's WAY too early for that encounter.

This Grand Day Eve event was a story in DanMemo mobile game and Angelo on the Danmachi wiki powered through this story mode and here were the interesting stuff that Angelo noted from the story

• the Behemoth is mentioned to be extremely poisonous, able to use poisonous wind that can take down Level 4s easily
• Finn, Riveria, Gareth, Ottar, and Mia were mentioned to have been supporters for the Zeus and Hera Familias during the actual battle against the Behemoth
• Bell is Level 2 in the story and the Ishtar Familia still exists, which places the story between the end of volume 5 to the beginning of volume 7 (Ais recalls her battle against the Demi Spirit so it's post Sword Oratoria 5). However, this doesn't make much sense since volume 6 happens almost straight after volume 5 so there was really no space for this event to have occur hence it ain't canon though the author stated that this story was something he initially planned to put in the story but didn't. Anyway, confirmation of not canon

Summary: Black tornadoes spread out across the world and attack, and they're revealed to be small Behemoths. The adventurers form two squads, the Loki Familia squad and the alliance squad led by Ottar, to defeat the two larger tornadoes, and Bell and Lefiya fight the Behemoth in the huge tornado shown in the trailer. Bell uses Grand Bell Argonaut+Firebolt and Lefiya uses Arcs Ray to destroy it

The groups join up at the village and head to an area known as the Black Desert, which (I think) is a vast area covered by the ash generated when the actual Behemoth was killed (monsters turn to ash when they die). Finn speculates that some adventurers or Evilus members (shown in the Grand Day Eve event to be some adventurers ordered by some God) dug up the drop item of the Behemoth, which he speculates to be the Behemoth's heart, and fed it to a monster.

The drop item then apparently took over the monster and turned it into a Behemoth subspecies and killed said adventurers before using its new multiplying ability to create the smaller versions of itself which the adventurers from Orario had fought. The group fights their way through and Ais fights the Behemoth subspecies one on one as her Ariel protects her, though she noted that she couldn't let her guard down as the poisonous wind would get to her. Part 1 ends with Ais using Lil Lafarga

Dian is selling basic potions with the label GRAND DAY EVE SPECIAL tagged on it for like 1000% mark up because they have “special” labled on them. The waitresses are selling pure black cookies at thousands of valis as well.

Ryuu: They are full or protien, or so I’m told. They are full of protien, or so I’m told. They are full of protien, or so I’m told.

There’s a beauty contest started up by Hermes with a riot breaking out over whether or not Filvis or Riveria was the best only for Freya to crash the party and win over the crowd and calming them down. This was actually a failsafe by Hermes but Loki gets upset over losing that shit talks Freya which gets Freya upset so she asks the crowd, “If I’m the best, then who is the SECOND best?” And we go back to square one.

Moving on from that, we have the Fighting Exhibition where the Top of Orario are gathered to put on a show for some foreign diplomats. The arena is packed and is impossible to get in but Bell manages to enter but is separated from the others. Someone sees him being tossed around on the ground and pulls him up. This person is Lefiya, who groans and says she should have just left him there like the tsundere she is. The two watch Ottarl, Ais, Gareth, Finn, Bete, Asfi, Ganesha Familia’s Shakti and for some god damn reason Lulune duke it out for a bit before Bete attacks Ottarl, making a crater in the wall and Ottarl retaliates and challenges everyone in the arena for real.

The diplomats faint at seeing Orario’s strength, Lulune asks Lefiya to pull her up the wall to escape the chaos but Bell and Lefiya fall in after Ottarl either hits the wall they were on or threw someone into it. Everyone, audience and participants alike, thinks they did so on purpose so no one helps them escape the chaos. Gareth even laughs and says “When I was young, I used to join in on the grown-ups’ battles too!”

Bell and Lefiya then team up after Ais goes up to them and says “I understand (why you want to fight). You’re adventuerers too” just to not immediately die from fighting (Lefiya: I refuse to work with you! But if you want to tag along then just do it!) with Orario’s monsters. Meanwhile, Asfi is upset at Finn for not reigning in his familia members but Finn just shrugs and says “That’s just how adventurerers are”

And Ottarl remains king of the world, fighting off Ais, Bete, and Finn at the same time without even breaking a sweat.

And yet in the past even they were fodder as they were only able to stay in the back and watching their more powerful comrade died one by one, their flesh rotted to dirt just by coming into contact with Behemoth's poison wind.

The reason the God ordered his familia to dig up the corpse is because Behemoth's drop item was never recovered. In death Leviathan left behind a skeleton and Magic stone, but in Behemoth's case, as a final fuck you turn itself into a desert of Black Ashes, on which nothing may ever grow, which stretches as far as the eyes can see. The reason for that unknown God to dig up Behemoth's drop item is unknown, but they somehow feed that item to a nearby monster. Behemoth somehow come back to life, consuming that monster from inside out.

In life's Behemoth's greatest strength are its vitality and poison wind. It's outer appearance are that of a super size storm cloud whose wind kill even Ottarl or other high level adventurer. After its ressurection, its poison is weaker, but it has somehow gained the ability of the monster it's consumed for its ressurection. See that monster was a land monster, with the ability to reproduce, Behemoth supercharged that and gained the ability to reproduce endlessly, producing endless mini Behemoth, even Behemoth that also gain the ability to spawn Behemoth. Needless to say the familia that dug it up died instantly, and the new Behemoth send it's offspring every where in the world to wreck havoc.

Oratio is just one of the casualty. The mini Behemoth outer appearance is that of a Twister. The trick to defeat them is peel back the outer layer and kill the weaker monster inside, or else even strong adventurer has a hard time fighting the wind endlessly.

Oratio issues a quest, one that will save the world. At first they didn't know what the monster was because the original Behemoth is just one being, however Ottarl somehow got PTSD and realized what it was.

The adventurers split into several group, and Lefiya group stumble upon an ancient forgotten elves village full of healer who lives life quietly gathering herb. She met an elven girl whose parents went out to meet the beast and didn't wake up and promise that she would protect the village no matter what. An unusually powerful Twister/Behemoth however were enroute toward that village. It encounters various adventurer party including the hostess of Fertility group who went out to help, Hermes familia who could not engage it and Bell party. Even if it was just an offspring the Behemoth poison instantly incapitate all powerful adventurer on the scene. Only Lefiya somehow manage to stay awake using a last resort magic Riveria taught her. She fights to keep her promise and Bell fights to save people but Hermes convinced him that with even level 4 adventurer they cannot do anything so what can Bell do. Bell almost agree, but then

-She is still singing
-I can hear her song.
-At this moment that girl is still fighting
-How can I call myself a hero if I can't save even a single girl!

Hermes chose that moment to reveal that he has sometimes in the past stolen a replica armour of presumably Albert Waldstein and his partner, but it is one of a kind even though it is a replica. It should be able to handle the poison for a while.

Bell equip the armour and ran in to reinforce Lefiya. The armour Hermes stole was for a couple so if Bell is Albert then the gown Lefiya wore were Aiz's mom?

Bell protect Lefiya while she prepares her strongest spell

>They were stomped anyway

While he was almost unconscious

>But still I can hear her singing
>At this moment she is still fighting
Lefiya asks Bell who he is, and he started standing up.

Other adventurer:
> Why can I hear a bell ringing
> Why can I hear someone singing

They combine their power and blast away the poison wind allowing the other adventurer to recover and reinforce. Without its poison it was easy prey and Loki familia A team also arrive at that moment.

>Those two kid are unconscious in the middle of all this those.

Days later, they woke up, since they know what they are up against, they can truly prepares. As a survivor of Behemoth Riveria issues a recipe for antidote that was effective. The ancient elves village's herbs are the only plants that did not dies when the wind hit, so they are the only one who can help with the antidote preparation at that moment.

The blacksmith Gods work on replicating the armour that repel poison that was a regular armour of Zeus army, but they can only make one. Even then it is not enough, the user has to be Aiz whose wind magic proves effective against the mini Behemoth previously.

In the final showdown, Finn says bitterly that no one can engage it and the only thing they can do is to fight off monster. Ottarl promise Aiz that even though he cannot fight, he would open a path for her. With the new antidote they go a seemingly suicidal mission. Aiz mission is simple, she only need to hit a certain spot on the Behemoth to neutralise the poison, it is the Behemoth weakness, but it is easier said than done.

> Bell, Lefiya you have an awesome adventure. Now it is time for me to go on mine.

Cliffhanger. Part 1 event end.

Loki is staying at home leeching off Ouranos to throw a victory party.

>Aren't you celebrating too early? What if they failed?
>If they failed it wouldn't matter anymore. There would be no tomorrow left

Behemoth is one thing, but an army is another. Even Finn comments on it, it strength is weaker now, but it a greater threat than before. Quantity is a quality of its own.
