My body is beaten down and exhausted
It's finally time for "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up
Girls in a Dungeon" season 4 to start, Goddess!
Yeah!
And it's happening thanks to you viewers in front of
the TV, as well as our fans from all over the world!
So why doesn't my heart stop pounding?
That's right! Thank you so much!
Well, there's one thing that custom dictates we do
before setting off on our new adventure. Remember?
You believe tomorrow will be different from yesterday
Of course! We have to review our journey thus far, for all
the people out there who may not have seen it. Right?
If you're here, keep running today
Exactly, Bell!
They need to know about how
we deeply fell in love with each other,
It's not embarrassing to be knocked down if you get back up again
and hear our long, long tale that would
make anyone cry sweet and sorrowful tears!
Hold on, Goddess! I don't remember
anything like that happening!
I have a feeling we'll get there soon
Oh? Are you sure?
Okay then, let's take a stroll down memory lane and
show everyone what kind of journey we've been on!
I don't need a map of my dreams
Just leave it to me! I came prepared for today by
reviewing all the records of our adventure!
I've known where I want to go for a long time
I'm thrilled that you've grown to be so dependable!
Oh.
I want to meet you now in a new world
We'll give you a preview of the new story that's coming
once we reach the end of this recap, so stay tuned!
All right, let's play back our story!
Play Back
Reminisce
We live in the Labyrinth City, Orario.
In addition to housing the Dungeon, the city is home
to countless gods and adventurers.
It's the most famous city in the world.
Us gods and goddesses can give
our children living in the lower world
a special type of power called a "blessing".
That's when you etch a status
onto someone's back, right?
Once they have that, they can become
an adventurer and fight monsters.
Yup! And then, the god who gave the blessing
and the adventurer who received it form a "Familia."
Just like me and Bell!
And what adventurers strive to explore
is the maze beneath the city
where monsters are born, known as the "Dungeon".
Sure, it's incredibly dangerous down there,
but it's practically crawling with opportunities
for people to make money and get famous.
That's why people from all around the world who
want to become adventurers flock to the city.
And you were one of them, right, Bell?
I've always admired heroes like
the ones you read about in storybooks.
My grandpa also said something that stuck with me...
Bell, if you're an adventurer, then you have
to look to meet someone in a dungeon.
At first, I wasn't sure something like
that could really happen.
But...
Excuse me.
Are you all right?
The girl who saved me back then...
her name is Miss Ais Wallenstein.
She's part of the largest Familia in the city,
the Loki Familia. And she's a level 5.
She's also nicknamed the Sword Princess.
She's strong and cool,
and I'm going to catch up to her one day!
There's a limit on how stupid you can be!
I wanted to go exploring further down in the Dungeon,
but I got yelled at by my Guild advisor, Miss Eina.
She said I had to form a party.
And then, that's when I happened to meet Lili.
How do you do?
Pardon my intrusion,
but are you looking for a supporter?
Liliruca Arde: a member of
the Soma Familia and a level 1.
Lili had been pushed around by adventurers
for so long that she came to despise them.
In order to guarantee her freedom, she needed
all the money she could get her hands on.
Yeah, that's right. And you're the one
who went and saved her, right, Bell?
Why?! Why did you save me?!
Why didn't you just abandon me?!
I wanted to save you because it was you, Lili.
You won't find any other reason for it.
Even now, I can't imagine not having Lili in our party.
She's so important to me.
After reforming my party with Lili, we headed back into
the dungeon where I suddenly encountered a monster...
the minotaur.
I never expected something like that
would show up on the 9th floor.
Even looking back on it now, it's totally insane.
You were only a level 1...
If you think about it, there's no way
you should've been able to win against that thing.
Are you all right?
You did your best. I'll save you now.
But... you still did it.
I can't...
I can't be rescued by Ais Wallenstein anymore!
There are different levels amongst adventurers.
Changes in an adventurer's status
don't have an effect on their level.
The only way for them to raise their level
is through adventures.
Exactly.
Master Bell!
He'll be all right.
FIRE BOOOOOLT!
That adventure definitely made you a lot stronger.
You make me so proud, Bell.
Thank you, Goddess.
And that's how you managed to rank up so quickly.
You became a level 2 adventurer:
the Little Rookie, Bell Cranel.
The higher your level, the further down into the
Dungeon you can venture.
But to do that, you've got to have
a few more friends you can count on.
Right around the time I was thinking about expanding
our party was when I met Welf.
There it is, Adventurer. Armor by Welf Crozzo.
A blacksmith of the Hephaistos Familia, and a level 1.
You had admired his work for quite a while, hadn't you?
Yes! So I was really happy that he agreed
to make special arrangements for me.
And not only that, he joined our party!
Good thing you met him, huh?
With Welf joining us, that brought
our party to three people.
We decided to forge on ahead into the middle floors.
The monsters were sure to be different
and a lot stronger
than anything you'd encountered on the upper floors.
It didn't matter how much we'd tried to prepare,
or how many people we had in our party.
None of it made a difference,
and the Dungeon didn't care.
After you finally reached the safe zone
on the 18th floor known as Under Resort,
a black Goliath floor boss came crashing down.
We had that many adventurers...
and yet no one could make a scratch on it...
Let your feelings burn, and cry out your desire!
The skill that had manifested itself in you, "Argonaut"...
A measly little skill that holds its own
when used against an overwhelmingly powerful enemy.
In other words...
A Hero's Strike!
Bell and the other adventurers fought together and
eventually took down the enormous floor boss.
You did great, Bell.
Cheers!
One day, we were celebrating
Welf's rank up to level 2 at the tavern
when we were harassed by adventurers
from the Apollon Familia,
which made us cause a big brawl.
Isn't he from the Apollon Familia...?
Is that all you've got, Little Rookie?
I was just getting started.
Nobody can blame you guys for getting into a fight!
Because who could have known
this was Apollon's carefully planned trap
to get his hands on my precious, little Bell...
That perv! He must pay!
Would you like to dance with... me?
I'd love to.
After being invited to a banquet of
the gods hosted by Master Apollon,
we were met with a challenge to a
War Game between Familia,
where the loser must surrender everything to the winner.
Our Goddess rejected the idea right then and there, but...
Are you all right, Goddess?!
Y-yeah!
That bastard... he's totally trying to force our hand!
Those jerks! How DARE
they destroy our little love nest...!
Huh?
They gave us such a hard time that
I was ready to blow my top,
so we made our way to the home of the Apollon Familia
where I declared war right to his face!
In preparation for the fight,
Bell underwent special training,
while I went to help little Miss Supporter get out
of trouble after she returned to the Soma Familia.
Ultimately, Lili, Welf, and Mikoto
all transferred to join our Familia.
Then, with Miss Ryu acting as our support,
we went into a siege battle as the attacking side.
Conquest of the Gods!
Futsu no Mitama!
Thanks for all your hard work, Lili.
Please go on ahead.
Lili's going to stir up a little more trouble!
I don't care what Master Apollon wants anymore!
DIE!
Landing the final blow is a step away
from one's own demise.
My best chance is to catch him the moment
he thinks he's bested me!
Thanks to our smart strategy and helpful allies,
we managed to claim victory!
And Bell even reached level 3!
To top it off, we scored a new home and
a significant amount of monetary reparations!
Starting today, this is going to be our Familia's emblem!
No way! HERE?!
One night, we noticed Mikoto acting strange
and decided to follow her and Chigusa.
We soon found ourselves in the Pleasure Quarter.
I haven't seen you around before.
Oh, you seem a little wound up.
I'm Aisha. And you are...?
Things went awry and I got found by
a level 3 of the Ishtar Familia named Aisha,
who chased me all over the place.
I eventually ran into a lady named Haruhime,
the childhood friend who Mikoto
and Chigusa were searching for.
Wha...
"Wha"...?
What a lovely... collarbone....
Huh?! Huh?!
Bell and the others went down into the dungeon to farm
enough money to save Haruhime from the brothel,
but they quickly got attacked by the Ishtar Familia.
I know first-hand how adorable Bell is,
but I never thought Ishtar would set her sights on him!
If you want to be angry,
take it up with our lunatic goddess!
Aisha's group came after us with overwhelming power
and they ended up capturing both me and Mikoto.
Afterwards, I found myself getting assaulted by Phryne
until Haruhime arrived to save me in the nick of time.
But that's when I learned she was fated
to become a sacrifice as part of a ritual...
She's a part of your Familia...
She's your family...
How could you possibly think that's okay?!
Such a passionate speech.
Are you going to take her from me?
It's war, then. We'll fight your Familia, too!
In order to defeat the Freya Familia,
Ishtar planed to use Haruhime as
a sacrifice to create a powerful item.
Bell wanted to save Haruhime, but he knew that
taking action would drag his friends into a war.
And so, as captain of the Familia,
he struggled to make a decision.
I'm sorry, Miss Mikoto.
I'm going to go save her.
Thank you.
It is truly a privilege to share a Familia with you.
Miss Mikoto and I went together to try
and rescue Miss Haruhime.
W-wait... what are you...?
Exceed the enemy's expectations...
A ninja's greatest skill...
The dreaded surprise attack!
S-somebody get her off me!
Defend me, O Purifying Light!
Mikoto!
Hell Kaios!
FIRE BOLT!
Thanks in part to Freya's intervention, Ishtar got
sent back to Heaven and her Familia was dissolved.
After being freed from her fate,
Haruhime officially joined our Familia.
I've come to rescue you.
Thank you... my hero.
Lady Haruhime...
Thank goodness...
While adventuring through the 19th floor one day,
I got separated from my party
and came across a monster girl named Wiene.
Wiene was all alone and huddled in fear after being
chased by both monsters and adventurers alike,
so I found myself unable to leave her behind
and ended up taking her back with me.
What the hell is that thing, Bell?!
B…ell…
Bell… name. Name is… Bell?
The monster… It spoke!
I was honestly shocked back then.
I had never heard of a monster that could talk before.
Monsters are considered an absolute evil that
has waged war against humanity forever.
Even for a god like myself,
it's impossible to offer them salvation, but...
Because she seemed so afraid, I decided that we would
look after Wiene while we gathered information.
I'm gonna take it off!
Y-you mustn't, Lady Wiene!
So warm…
But Wiene caused an uproar in the middle of town
and word somehow got out about us keeping her,
which led to the Guild ordering us on a mission to "take
the dragon girl down to the 20th floor of the dungeon."
Upsy-daisy…
That was great! I've never met
adventurers like them before!
That's where you met other monsters like Wiene
who were intelligent and capable of speech,
they were known as the Xenos and
Mr. Rido was their leader.
That's right.
The welcome party they threw for us at their hidden
village was so human-like that it really surprised me.
They started living like that after meeting
with Mr. Fels over 15 years ago,
and they dreamed of one day reaching an understanding
with humans so they could go up the surface.
That's why we were so excited to meet you guys today!
And it's not 'cause we expect you
to help us or anything like that…
Just knowing that there are surface-dwellers
who're willing to accept us for who we are…
I'm so glad we met you and your friends!
However, we're still a long way from reaching
the point where monsters can coexist with humans.
That's why Bell's party left Wiene in the care of
the Xenos and made their way back home, until...
Armed monsters have attacked and destroyed Rivira,
located on the 18th Floor.
Mr. Rido… Wiene…
The Ganesha Familia was given a mission
by the guild to subdue the threat
and I accompanied them into the dungeon.
That's where I learned from Mr. Rido that
some humans had killed their friends
and they were fighting to take back Wiene
and other Xenos who had been captured.
No!
Settle down, creature.
You'll get your turn soon enough.
A level 5 named Dix Perdix, the captain of
the Ikelos Familia, and his allies were behind it all.
They had been capturing the Xenos and
using the incomplete man-made dungeon
created by his ancestor, know as Knossos,
as a secret route to ferry the Xenos up
to the surface and then sell them off.
Then it dawned on me…
Humiliating and tormenting these monsters, driving 'em
to the brink of despair, treating 'em like garbage…
It's the one thing that satisfies me!
The one thing that can assuage this wretched blood!
The Xenos… and Wiene…
That's why you did this…?!
Mr. Rido and the other Xenos were bewitched
by a powerful curse that made them go berserk,
while Wiene was transformed into a giant monster after
having the crystal in her forehead forcibly torn out,
so I had to fight to save them all.
Being human or a monster has
nothing to do with saving someone!
If they ask for my help, then that's good enough for me!
You're a hypocrite, Little Rookie!
Although we managed to fend off the enemy,
Wiene was unleashed upon the surface
while still under the effects of the curse.
Bell chased after her, but was put into a tough
situation after things took a turn for the worse.
If he screws this up…
Bell Cranel becomes public enemy number one.
This vouivre belongs to ME!
Keep your hands OFF!
Eventually, things came to a vague conclusion
when a black minotaur appeared out of nowhere,
but the town still placed the blame largely on Bell.
Not to mention, a number of the Xenos were still stuck
above ground, with many adventurers looking for them.
We enacted a plan to save the Xenos by helping them
avoid the notice of the other adventurers and escape.
I served as a distraction while everyone else found
an unguarded entrance to Knossos for the Xenos to
sneak through.
However, something happened beyond even divine will.
The black minotaur showed up once again.
Asterios.
That's the name he gave before
we engaged in an all-out battle.
I…
…want to be a hero!
This makes us even.
Bell… our next match shall be the last.
You ended up losing that fight, but the Xenos managed
to return to the dungeon safely,
and your good reputation was restored.
I… want to get stronger.
Whew! Looking back, we've had nothing
but absolutely crazy adventures
that have left my heart pounding non-stop!
And now, we're about to start
an entirely new adventure.
Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV
Right. I'm excited to find out what kind
of adventure is in store for us this time!
After being given another mission by the guild,
Bell's party goes an expedition to the lower levels
of the dungeon where the Great Falls are.
But even with Bell at level 4 and a party formed with
the skilled members of other Familia,
it turns out those floors aren't so easy to deal with.
After they run into an enhanced species
of monster for the first time,
numerous allies and adventurers are defeated by its
overwhelming assault.
Everyone in Bell's party takes desperate action
to try and save them,
and overcome the intense trial
that the dungeon throws at them.
Tentou
Your next adventure sounds like another rough one.
No matter what dangers lie ahead,
we're all going to get stronger and return safely for our
own sake and for the sake of Wiene and the Xenos!
That's the spirit! Things will be okay
if everybody works together!
And I'm sure the fans from all over the world who
are watching this will be there to cheer you on!
Go out there and rise to the challenge, Bell!
Okay! Goddess!
