| Well, I guess it was inevitable with Alexia that she would be targeted. After all, she has a presence and reptuation at school. Getting kidnapped by a crazy guy...yikes. Also, this episode shows how badass Claire can be when she's angry. I kinda felt bad for Alexia though..she felt so helpless this episode until she managed to fight back. A lot of emotions going around this episode. |

| Princess Alexia is kidnapped and tortured by Instructor Zenon for her blood to revive demons (such like the one that he kidnapped to revive), and Cid the mob character is treated as the scapegoat, only except that while the nobles think that they're torturing him bad, he's just playing with them until the time's right for revenge. Cid's sister Claire fights for his plea of innocence, while Alexia's older sister Iris, only knows what happens on the surface from hearsay. Whie Cid is out of reach, Alpha and the others work hard in the background to grow Shadow Garden in the midst of the also growing Cult of Diabolos. And by this point, Alexia has most of her blood taken that the monster took notice as each moment passes by., while Cid is ready for more Eminence in Shadow action to lay waste to the Knights Order and the Fenrir sect, area by area. Alexia got saved by the monster, but her troubles are not done yet as the son wants in on the Knight of the Rounds order for fame and power. However, she needn't look long as the Emience in Shadow is ready for his prelude. Cid in action, pumps the blood. |

| And the best mob character award goes to Cid. Absolute chaos, Cid's army on the move and epic entrance from the Shadow himself. |
 |
| Nice to see that Claire is still as overly protective as ever. Love how she went versus the knights to save her lil bro |
 |
| Ah, and the fun continues! Cid really is the actor of the century, the girls came back as well. Was hilarious seeing what he invested all of his funds into and how he decorated the room for Beta's arrival. They did pull the same stunt as in ep 2, but it was a superb episode nonetheless. |
| I'm also impressed with Princess Alexia's fighting skills. |
 |
| excellent episode. the cliffhanger hurts. i'm now really starting to doubt if this is really comedy. although this atmosphere seems more suited to the story. the eminence of shadow set-up part and act in front of that girl was funny tho. 5/5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Lmao, always love how chill Alexia was while getting chained. |
| The camera's angle of Alexia is so hot... (a bit disappointed as it was not good enough. Well, most girls belonging from Shadow Garden ARE but it still depends on your preference... Look at Cid in bed with Alpha... lmao Love this episode! |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| God we really getting weekly acting classes lmao. Today we fooled two loud-mouthed fools, and are on our way to shame the main dude in act, the traitor blondie. Bring the next episode. |
 |
| My man Cid thoroughly enjoyed that torture session! |
 |
| It was hilarious how much fun Cid was having while being interrogated. To go that far to be a mob character is such an inspiration. The part with the overprotective Claire was funny. |
 |
| Makes me wonder if at some point Cid will notice that this cult and his organization are real lol. And I need more of his sister! I can't wait for next week. I really want to see how it plays out now that Alexia has seen his face. |
| I'm glad they slowed down. I hope the pacing keep this way |
| No complain on visual and audio from me. That evil fiancé plot twist was not predictable to me. Not a bad episode albeit it doesn't contain much comedy. I started reading the manga version after watching the eps. 3 and even though I already expected this episode (and the rest of this arc) would be dry/less comedy, I didn't expect it to be this dry. I guess the manga kinda differed even from the light novel material source, not just the anime because some dialogues and visual scene are much different. Hence it felt way more dramatic, slightly slower pace and less funny. |
| Once again, the story seems to be jumping all over the place, and while Cid has his cool moments, it's a bit tough to keep up with everything. And why are scientists always crazy? |
| Somewhat felt bad for Alexia but now they unleashed their ultimate kind of beast, at least Cid managed to gather everyone (or more like the girls found so many people xD) and the Diabolos cult are mainly stupid especially when it comes to the knights so it was easy for him to come to Alexia... of course the blond 1st fiancé is the opponent but I feel like he'll quickly regret to be against Cid xD |
 |
| Really a good episode. |
| Nooooooooooo...... Why it the cliffhanger ends like that? |
 |
| I love this show. I can already guarntee you I will rate it higher than chain saw man |
 |
| BRO HOW U GONNA END IT LIKE THAT! I need more I fucking crave more |
| Gamma best girl good but kind of slow |
| bruh |
| Overpowered MC gives the show no sense of danger ✓ Harem ✓ Unfunny misunderstandings ✓ Omfg this is just overlord but with a cringey Ainz |
 |
| Actor the protagonist xD (he should be nominated for best actor haha) getting hurt is part of the plan... On the other hand, he's already dressed as a shadow. In a few words, they're going to say to the guy, DON'T EVER PRAY TO THE ONE ABOVE BECAUSE IT'S ME, what a good chapter, waiting for the next one that the protagonist's go back is coming. |
 |
| i like this episode xD This keep getting better |
 |
| What the f man!!!! Why the cliffhanger. I was looking forward to the action. And now my heart hurts. |
Yandere_@lover |
| Great episode!! 😍😍 |
 |
| gotta love how oblivious the edgy mob god is. the bedroom scene with alpha was kinda hot but it's prolly normal for cid tho. man what a cliffhanger, next week gotta hurry! |
| Pacing seems good so far, really looking forward to THAT scene next week |
