Weird that the perspective changed to Bell. I thought the whole point was we see the story from Freya familia and others.
Yup, feels like this monologue/perspective is one we already seen in the Bell-centric anime? Or is my mind just making up memories?
tbf, pretty much any scene where he plays too much a role in, hurts the sword oratoria story (yes, that "story story" was intentional xD). The reason I liked it so much is because of the focus it put on Aiz and lefiya (somehow redeemed her entire character to me after hated her from danmachi s1, and made her a character I like) and the grittier side of the world where people die left and right, and no hero can upturn fate and produce something better than a pyrrhic victory
at best (yes, heroes exist, but they are portrayed as heroes making the best result out of a tragic and damning situation, with their limited reach inherent to reality making sand slip through their fingers).
But instead, by necessity of bells own story, any scene with him in it can't have ppl die if it wants to remain canon and the concept of him being a "pure untainted hero that makes the impossible possible (don't remember how it was phrased when said explicitly in latest anime season)", meaning you know
everyone has plot-armor (not just main-story characters).
