| I'm still so confused about what Cid is actually trying to gain from doing all of this, so a lot of what's happening is kind of falling flat for me. The fight with Alpha was cool, but without meaning for me because of this. I did at least like the detail that the John Smith disguise failed to fool both Delta and Alpha, as it would make literally no sense for them to not recognise their long-term master and saviour. Definitely the worst arc in the show so far, and I'm very glad it seems to be nearly over now. |
| So HiDive has the audio screwed up and I accidentally watched about 2 minutes of the dub...Holy shit that is awful. Other than that ear cancer it was another fun episode |
| Idk this season feels like the plots sorta gone off the rails/becoming unecessary. I mean he's trying to tear down his own members business because they made it using things he told them about. When in all reality he could just tell them what to do and they would undoubtedly listen. Instead of actually pushing the plot forward we have this needless inner organization fight just so he could get rich when he again could have just told them what to do directly. I guess its on par for his delusional course of actions as his "anti hero" persona but still the bulk of it seems like a very roundabout way to accomplish something that would have never been an issue if he just bothered talking to his subordinates. Don't get me wrong tho im enjoying the ride lol it just feels like there could be more interesting plots to delve into rather then all this inner discourse. Sort of conflict for the sake of conflict I guess. |
| More Shenanigans from Shadow aka John Smith LMAO Bruhh that scene when Delta about to pushed out the window... WTF they know what they doing with that lol |

I agree that it was a right choice to send Delta after John Smith, after we know what happened with Rose and her gang, and one might even think it’d be quite a spectacle when Delta and John would go one on one, and to be honest it was too… but I feel bad for that train lol, as I mean the moment mister super elite agent came near Delta to deal his finishing blow, we in all honesty had the inevitable…
… Delta identified that it was Shadow lol. Truly the best pet around:) But to think Shadow managed to convince Delta in the name of sending her on a venture to take down the strongest had me dying lol. He might have to fulfil her one wish later, but that’s fine as the act will still go strong for some time. By the way, they sure did assume pretty easily that Delta might have really kicked the bucket, and I mean we know those strands of hairs from her tail, so… but rest assured, Cid knows she just went to a “much better” place, literally lol.
Felt for Alpha, but there’s so much she could do when she doesn’t even have the slightest idea what in the name of 4D chess Cid is playing right now lol. Also, bro didn’t even hesitate when he humbled Alpha there, I mean she and they are your shadow army lol. At least he and Yukime have earned themselves many buckets of gold coins in this mess, and that’s what matters most. By the way, Gettan was a stupid smh.
Also, hope Delta doesn't forget her way back to them lol.

| @Softhenic03 Lol @ best pet around It's interesting how Delta identified him by her senses and Alpha by the level of skill displayed in a duel. |

I keep hearing Eiko in Alexia
I think they meant < instead of * here
It's honestly so interesting seeing Shadow Garden fighting Ci- I mean Sha- I mean John Smith
From Wikipedia: "Shiva also known as Mahadeva is one of the principal deities of Hinduism" But how did a deity from our world appear here...? Or I guess it's just the author taking inspiration from a real deity in their story and this is not that important.
Reminds me of Eren's "If you lose, you die. If you win, you live. If you don't fight, you can't win!"
This episode's ED singer: Nu! (I think she already sang the ED in one of the previous episodes?)
There is a scene after credits btw! It shows what Delta's been doing lol
Great episode

| god I love delta so much |
| I'm not sure I'm into this John Smith arc |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| It's kind of a shame that the comedy is a little more one dimensional, especially with the execution in this 2nd season. I thought S1 was far more hilarious. This plot is less interesting as well. |
Cute in both mediums haha |

| @Ausp Yeah I also found that interesting. I didn't fully realize why Cid is planning on also taking out Mitsugoshi Co. until a couple of people said it was so that Cid has full control of $$$ that the girls have made but I thought by this point he would've known that their money is his money... 🤦♂️ |
i beg to differ... |
| Need more delta ass shots and fanservice. Not sure why they changed the dialogue and fight scenes though? |
 |
| Poor Juggernaut lol, he will die now |
| bruh |
| I felt so bad for Alpha in this episode. Poor girl sounds so broken at the end. |
 |
| Good ep! The Delta scene was so cute lmao The Alpha scene was a bit sad 😬 I’m surprised she recognised him. It would’ve been cooler it she didn’t. I do feel bad tho, Shadow’s lack of sympathy and honesty towards his fellow Shadow Garden haha. Guess we’ll see where this goes! |
