If you like DanMachi, you're certainly familiar with the gods who lead the Familia in the adventurer city of Orario. They wield high authority and are respected by their members.
In this article, we would like to diacuss the best gods in DanMachi. Who are they? Check out the full review below!
1. Hestia
Hestia is known as a poor and useless goddess among her peers. She also has a Familia with a small number of members. Despite this, she has been very helpful to Bell Cranel.
Hestia always appears energetic and always supports Bell's best interests. She also often gets jealous when Bell is with other women. Despite this, she has a strong sense of justice and is willing to help anyone in need.
2. Loki
Unlike Hestia, Loki has a large and powerful Familia in Orario. She has a tomboyish appearance and attitude. Furthermore, she often displays a goofy side, such as her habit of drinking sake or bickering with Hestia.
Despite this, Loki is highly respected by her members. She also possesses impressive intellectual abilities. She is able to critically observe situations and analyze complex problems.
3. Hephaestus
Hephaestus is known as a goddess skilled in weaponsmithing. She possesses extensive knowledge of the world of blacksmithing. She is capable of crafting high-quality weapons that command fantastic prices.
Hephaestus once made a special knife for Bell at Hestia's request. The knife is uniquely engraved with hieroglyphs. Furthermore, the knife maximizes Bell's strength in combat.
4. Freya
Freya is one of the most powerful and influential goddesses in Orario. She has a strikingly beautiful face and is able to captivate others. Furthermore, she oversees powerful adventurers, such as Ottar, a member of the Boaz race.
Freya also harbors an interest in Bell Cranel. She constantly observes him from a distance. Furthermore, she doesn't forgive anyone who tries to harm Bell or take Bell from her.
5. Hermes
Hermes always appears friendly and smiles readily to everyone. However, he is inherently cunning and manipulative. He is often the mastermind behind various unrests that occur in Orario.
One example is the destruction of the Ishtar Familia. The incident was caused by Hermes's words provoking a feud between Ishtar and Freya. Clearly, Hermes's movements are always full of questions and should be watched closely.
6. Ishtar
Ishtar is the goddess who rules the brothels business of Orario. She has many female subordinates who work as prostitute. Through this business, she can reap significant profits.
Personally, Ishtar is arrogant and deeply despises Freya. She feels rivaled by Freya's beauty. However, her strength is still inferior to Freya's, and she is easily defeated.
7. Ganesha
One of Ganesha's defining characteristics is that he always wears a red elephant mask. He is known as a friendly god who always prioritizes the safety of the people. Furthermore, he also maintains good relationships with other gods.
This is what makes Ganesha respected by the people. He also organizes a fighting event in the Colosseum involving dungeon monsters. He is usually seen energetically hosting the event.
8. Apollo
In contrast to Ganesha, Apollo has a greedy and ambitious nature. He once targeted Bell Cranel and tried to make Bell his subordinate. Because of this, he challenged Hestia to a War Game.
Apollo was very confident that he and his Familia would win. However, his calculations were wrong because Bell had the support of many parties, such as Ryuu, Welf, and Lili. Their cooperation was able to defeat Apollo.
9. Soma
Soma is known as a mysterious god who doesn't care about his members. He possesses a great ability to brew sake. Anyone who drinks it becomes addicted.
The members of the Soma Familia are willing to do anything to enjoy the sake. Lili was even caught up in an internal conflict within the Familia. However, she managed to prove her resolve and was allowed to leave the Soma Familia.
10. Takemikazuchi
Takemikazuchi is a very kind god and cares deeply about others. He always wears traditional Japanese clothing. He also excels in martial arts.
Takemikazuchi also maintains a good relationship with Hestia and other gods, such as Miach and Hephaestus. Whenever Hestia is in trouble, Takemikazuchi and his subordinates often lend her a helping hand.
11. Miach
Like Takemikazuchi, Miach also has a kind nature and likes to help Hestia. He also has a good-looking appearance, making him very popular among women.
Miach has a special ability in potion-making. However, he often gives away his potions for free. This practice often causes his Familia financial problems.
12. Ares
As his name suggests, Ares is a warlike god. He commands a large army. He is obsessed with proving his strength and defeating the adventurers in Orario.
Unfortunately, Ares and his army are no match for the Orario adventurers. They are easily defeated by Ais and the other members of the Loki Familia. Despite his crushing defeat, he remains amusingly optimistic.
13. Ouranos
Ouranos is a god affiliated with the Guild and the Xenos. Unlike other gods, he does not appear on the surface. Instead, he resides in a special room and monitors the situation in the dungeon.
Ouranos has a noble ideal of protecting the Xenos. He believes that the Xenos can coexist with humans. For this reason, he once asked the Hestia Familia for help in realizing this wish.
14. Artemis
Next, there's the beautiful goddess Artemis, who has a firm nature and cares deeply for her Familia. However, she has a strict rule that forbids its members from romantic relationships.
This is due to Artemis's past experiences. Despite this, Artemis has a kind nature and always protects her members. She also carries a powerful arrow from the heavens called Aracnum.
15. Zeus
Zeus is one of the most legendary gods in Orario. In the past, he led a very powerful Familia. They were involved in a fierce battle against a black dragon. Unfortunately, the battle resulted in a devastating loss.
Unexpectedly, Zeus turned out to be Bell Cranel's grandfather. He often offered words of encouragement that motivated Bell to become an adventurer and find his soulmate in the dungeon.
