Synopsis

For as long as he can remember, Minoru Kagenou has been fixated on becoming as strong as possible, which has led him to undertake all kinds of rigorous training. This wish, however, does not stem from a desire to be recognized by others; rather, Minoru does everything he can to blend in with the crowd. So, while pretending to be a completely average student during the day, he arms himself with a crowbar and ruthlessly thrashes local biker gangs at night. Yet when Minoru finds himself in a truck accident, his ambitions seemingly come to a sudden end. In his final moments, he laments his powerlessness—no matter how much he trained, there was nothing he could do to overcome his human limitations.

But instead of dying, Minoru reawakens as Cid, the second child of the noble Kagenou family, in another world—one where magic is commonplace. With the power he so desired finally within his grasp, he dons the moniker "Shadow" and establishes Shadow Garden: a group whose sole purpose is to combat the enigmatic Cult of Diablos, an organization born from Cid's imagination. However, as Shadow Garden grows in both membership and influence, it becomes increasingly apparent that the Cult of Diablos is not as fictional as Cid had intended.

Why Watch ‘The Eminence in Shadow’?
An Avant-garde Shit?!
[Introduction]
Over the past decade the isekai anime had become much more popular than it ever was
with the release of a legendary trash in 2012. And we all know what that is. It's 'sword Art
Online'. After that the popularity of Isekai has raised among the newbies. And with each
passing years we are introduced to new different types of shits: bullshit, horseshit, holyshit
and many more. Only a few has just made their way up like rezero, that time I got
reincarnated as a slime and mushoku tensei.
But today I am gonna tell about a new shit ...

Mixed Feelings
It's a generic overpowered character in another world show. As a result, it has similar problems of the other examples for creating a big threat to keep watchers on nerve. But as a surprising fact the main character has a mindset to be seen as a background character during showing his face. On the other hand, he acts like a character has the entire control of the situation. So, he performs roleplay of different architypes to fulfil his desire and this character trait of his is the main premise of the show to be honest. Because of this trait the show starts to differ from ...
