This was a beautiful episode. I actually feel really sad about Gettan. I really wish he didn't have to die. As always, the interactions with delta and the little lies he tells her are hilarious. That bit about santa had me rolling.
@StateofOhayo I mean, I can't really feel that sad for him after all he's done, but I do feel bad for Yukime who thought he would at least get a proper burial...

@luinthoron i might have missed something but i'm pretty sure we don't know if he did get a proper burial or not, but knowing Cid I would think he did that first. I hope.

@StateofOhayo Since we did not see Gettan around when they were digging around with Delta, one can hope, but Cid certainly didn't seem to be thinking of doing this when it first cut to him and Gettan's corpse after Yukime's words.

Cid's grand scheme? Cook up some phony bills, watch Mitsugoshi and the MCA duke it out, and swoop in to rebuild Mitsugoshi from the ashes, sans all the baggage.

Now, Gettan and the Cult? Same fake bill shenanigans, but with a twist - they're holding off on the credit crisis until they've secured all their goodies stashed away in the MCA.

But hold on, Shadow Garden's take on Cid's play? Enter the alias "John Smith," pumping out fake bills to beat the Cult at their own game. Why? To keep Mitsugoshi's true identity on the down-low. Gold coins from the MCA stash would then save Mitsugoshi from the credit crisis, leaving the MCA to bite the dust.

Oh, by the way, fun fact alert! Black Tower? Kaput. Red Tower? Dead in the water. Lawless City? Now under Yukime's rule, thanks to some timely destruction and retirement parties. Maybe Yukime thinks "John" did it all as a big thank-you for snagging those gold coins.

Absolutely brilliant plan and episode!!

The show is starting to get way too repetitive with it's plot. Bro goes on a quest, his disciple misunderstands, he loses the money he planned to make, then they think he was this master genius at the end.





I'll quit my yapping for now but Delta is still the best girl, Wonder what her wish was going to be??🤭


One good take from this episode tho, that last quote was genius. Hope to see more of that

My boy John Smith took all the best gifs for himself, took Yukihime in the most badass and gentlemanly way ever while only wanting the money that Alpha assumed was for them, and took it all out hahaha
In the end, he leaves sad that he didn't find the money all because he refused to visit the city and his organization which Yukihime is now a part of lmaoooo

Can't wait for the next episode, this episode gave me such a great laugh, in the end, Shadow always wins.

I've never seen a show plot out and execute a series of misunderstandings so flawlessly and perfectly, so that they build and entire political, financial and criminal intrigue that looks coherent and plausible, even though it's just a bunch of people reading a bit to deep between the lines, and one guy just trying to act cool and get some cash. I'm in awe. Well done, Kage, well done! This episode had me frantically wheezing and painfully facepalming at the same time. It was just perfect.

Damn, I actually got a bit emotional at the Yukime stuff at the end, I was really disliking this arc in the beginning, but seeing CID’s interactions with Delta, the way Yukime’s generic revenge plot became something actually interesting, John Smith becoming a super cool new persona for CID to use and the way the girls from Shadow Garden reacted to his possible betrayal and abandonment made it very worthwhile, fingers crossed for the next to the best arc and close the season with a flourish.

Wow they deciphered that "code" lol. Looks like more misunderstandings came up again, but this time we can see Cid have a big mix up in the mess as well lol.

The classic NPC Cid repeating the same thing over and over lmao.

Oof, Cid giving more of his "wisdom," this time about Santa lol. You can say his dream came true, just in another world ig. Also, that moment when they mention they aren't on the same page, most of the time nobody is with Cid xD. Poor Delta for being worked randomly like that, surprised she found something though (what is it?!), rip Cid left at the wrong moment again, that happened a lot lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

The misunderstanding in this anime will never cease 2 make me laugh😂😂. How everyone jumps to conclusions is crazy🤣. Seeing Alpha depressed ready to give up, was not the one. I didn't realise I was actually invested in the cast. Shadow really is him though, bro is so overpowered and only cares about money but he could just ask Gamma for bread😂.

Everything went according to Cid's plan, except for the gold Shadow Garden retrieved and their feelings towards Shadow. He thinks they are angry at him, and wants to stay away until they cool down. He is unaware of what is happening within Shadow Garden, probably including the fact that Yukime joined them.

He is digging in the snow to find the missing gold, but it was never there from the beginning 🤣🤣🤣. Delta actually found something though. I wonder if it’s a tech from Earth.

Once again Shadow is lucky all things come together in the end for him and Shadow Garden... except that he has no money once again. Wonder what Delta found there in the end though, she's been spending a lot of time with him recently.
