Except we know Bell has a special, "chosen-one" ability that gives him an unfair advantage over every other adventurer. Also, ignoring the former, beating a Minotaur by sheer will power is as "random" as it gets. Either it is bs, or it is a cheat. Iīm saying it is both (random will power for the typical shounen clichee, as well as being a cheater due to whatever Freya apparently did to him in the past).

Donīt get me wrong, I enjoyed this episode and battle. But I donīt think it was anything special in terms of animation or concept. I will also admit that I kinda resent Bell because of the Kirito-voice actor, in combination with having a whole harem of girls already.
