Maybe if the anime decided to hide the fact that John Smith was Shadow, we would have been hype to think that there's someone capable of beating Shadow lol.

Delta is just a mutt. She figured out John Smith was none other than Shadow. He sent her on a mission, and the Shadow Garden believes Delta is dead.

Alpha faces John Smith and during the course of fight, figures that he is Shadow. But can’t accept the fact that he’s acting independently. She wants to be of help to him, but her insecurity creeps in.

Cid had the treasury almost emptied 🤣🤣🤣.

Yukime’s past with Gettan was unexpected. But I guess Cid remembers the incident. I don’t remember if we had seen the scene before, in season 1.

So far it is not as good as first season, and it is 8 episodes less ;/
There are less funny moments than in first season, way less, and I dislike what he is doing as Smith.. Shadow alias was better

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

Cid is definitely asexual, getting humped by Delta like that and no reaction at all. Was surprised that Alpha identified him even faster than Delta did by smell though. But bro... you didn't just hurt her feelings, you broke her heart in half, Alpha took soooo much emotional damage this episode ;_;

@Araw22 I mean, think about it. If the directors did decide to go by what I said, then there would've been questions lingering around that if even the berserkiest woman in the organization couldn't defeat the alt John Smith, then could Alpha defeat John Smith? It makes it more thrilling, don't you think?

I knew from the get go that Delta will recognize his smell but wtf is gonna happen now? Cid talks about for the greater good or for saving the world or something but every single thing he say or do are bullshit and everything just somehow someway works in his favor cause all these is just his delusions. This kid has no plan whatsoever lol

Oh how shortsighted most of the characters in this show have been. At least Alexia has finally figured out that she needs to put herself into a position to have clout and not just tag along on random events to possibly make some impact on a situation.

Fox lady and wolf boy are gonna duke it out and that is what made Cid realize that his John Smith routine is doing nothing but putting a wedge between him and the seven Shadows. Most of the things that start of with the best intentions that go really wrong are the leader saying "They'll understand when it is all through." Hopefully he will get this and make some changes to his plan to not push away the people he saved and has doing everything in their lives for him. Betraying all of them would be quite the predicament. Letting everyone think that Delta died and not explaining himself and trusting that they will go along with whatever he has planned is a huge mistake.

OH MY GAAAA, MORE DELTA! No matter how good Cid's disguise is, he cannot escape from Delta's sense of smell, she basically grew up alongside him.

The way she flipped 180 from a feral beast, lasing headfirst into combat into a clingy and completely affectionate doggie is adorable. Truly the bestestestestded for Girl! She even managed to find out that Cid AKA Shadow AKA John Smith is undergoing a secret super elite agent mission on top of receiving a 'direct order' from himself to 'wreck shit up and see what happens next' Lmao. I swear, these two have the best chemistry, Cid can't bullshit his way through situations whenever he's facing Delta the way he did with any of the other Seven Shadows, partly because Delta can see through the bs but mainly because she wouldn't be able to think of anything else lol.
Lawd has mercy...
I know Delta being the puppy girl she is, is x100 more touchy-touchy with her master, compared to anyone else, even Claire, but that continuous leg-lock and her excitement for potentially receiving a reward that allows her to tell him to do whatever she wants was Next Level. Dayyum 😭🙏🙏🙏

On the other hand, Alpha's clash with John Smith is far more tragic. With Cid neither confirming nor denying anything while pretty much betraying his own organization's best interest, leaving it to a few cryptic assurances, it only made sense how heartbroken Alpha is. Standing as the 2nd in command and the highest second only to Shadow himself, she is the one who tries her hardest to be someone who can stand side by side with her master, and then he decides to pull off this heist lmaooo. The emotional damage alone is far more destructive mentally than any wound she receives in that brief confrontation.
This is also one of the rare instances where Alpha shows more than just a stern look or a poker-face reaction which is no doubt her effort to suppress her emotions. Cid needs to treat his girls with more care, especially the one he saved first and foremost.

Blah blah blah, Kitsune x Fox furry convention filler crap, I doubt any of these backstory holds any real canonical impact... The rest of the ep is awesome.

It's confirmed that Cid doesn't have a penis after his scene with Delta. And no normal functioning heart after his scene with Alpha. He doesn't really care too much about them and it's a shame that Alpha who's been such a stern but staunchly loyal instrument for him is treated like a mere tool.
