Will this result in Alpha growing as a character in the end or will it just be resolved and provoke no changes?

Maybe Delta completed her mission too premature.
@Limi nothing serious will happen here , things go back to as it was.

This is emeince in shadow not a certain trending show with bad Ending.

Sorry for the Spoiler, but you asked for this.

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.

Seeing Alpha heartbroken was sad, man. Delta knows John Smith is Shadow but why won't he tell Alpha and the others what he's truly up to? I mean he was able to tell Delta after all. I just hope all of this is resolved in the future and Shadow tells them soon enough. I don't like seeing a rift in the bond the Garden has. Plus I never knew Yukime and Gettan were an item before. That fight scene on the train between Alpha and Shadow and Delta and Shadow was awesome ASF. Looking forward to the next episode.

It's already said why he doesn't tell them. He doesn't want to tell them what he's up to because he wants to swoop in the last minute and play the saviour. He also wants to use the money to build his only commercial giant and hire the girls as staff so he has money (not realising he could just ask them for as much money as he wants because Mitsugoshi is just the front for Shadow Garden which he is the Head if).

Thought the manga did the Delta bit better. Delta immediately figures it out and jumps for a hug without fighting. Think that's funnier as there's a whole build up just for it to immediately disappear and go nowhere.

Definitely the worst arc in the show so far, and I'm very glad it seems to be nearly over now.

He was told by Fox lady she's vot a plan to bring down the Commerce Union as well as Mitsugoshi. Seeing them both fall will lead the market to collapse and he and the Fox lady will have all the money. With this money he's planning to go back to the girls to be "the saviour" and start an entirely new company but with a larger market share as all the competition has collapsed. However, this time he'll own the company and just hire the girls to run it meaning he'll finally have enough money to live off.

The irony of all this comes from the fact that he doesn't think Shadow Garden is really real and the girls just keep up the Act around him for old time sake; he doesn't realise it's all real and that Mitsugoshi is just the front for the secret organisation that he is the Head of and could just ask the girls for as much money as he wants as it is right now.

This has all been explained in the show already right?

I honestly don't see the point of Cid helping Yukihime. I mean, come on, is it for his own benefit or to help Shadow Garden or destroy the cult from the outside? Yukihime has her own personal objectives as well. Delta is alive but Cid is purposefully doing whatever it takes to keep Alpha and the girls out of it but its still hurting them more or less. crap, the next episode better be good.

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.

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.

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.

Well damn, bro. I knew Cid was one stupid MC but I had no idea he was this stupid. well, it's no problem. I'm glad he's not doing it fr fr.

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

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.

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.

Probably popular opinion, but I love Delta, and she's so hilarious and the absolute best 😂 (but then that's also from like all the mounting/persona stuff too 😬).

The episode had a very sudden (/left wanting more) ending with the 3-tailed fox lady boarding the train to go fight Gattan for Itachi-ing their village - and then funny how Shadow/"John Smith" then inadvertently set her up to fight someone from the Cult.

Well, it's good to see the fight finally. But what the heck? They changed the scene and dialogs of the fight. Why they did that? The fight was in an ally not on top if train and the fight was much better in both LN and manga. AND they cut most of the good dialogs. Come on why this?

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... 🤦‍♂️

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!

I mean the whole reason Christianity exists is because Jesus is killed and is resurrected. Anime almost exclusively bastardises Christianity whenever they use it.

PERFECT OUTRO!

Alpha is still my top waifu... But I admit that Delta going "Kuroi Jagga-Jagga" steals the entire EP.

It's also omitted in the anime, but it was mentioned at least in the manga (I don't know abt the LN) that John has pretty much doused himself with perfumes to avoid Delta's detection.... to no avail. Delta still manages to sniff him out despite everything!
