So much work collecting all that money and in the end his girls went there, took the money away from him to save Mitsugoshi, because they thought that was his plan.

I like the episode.

Sometimes, I wish Shadow would show more affection to his women. Poor Alpha...

But Shadow is my second favorite male character so whatever. He's such a funny dude. XD

Shadow's luck is kinda like Kazuma's. All those misunderstandings working in his favor and yet the gold goes to the Shadow Garden at the end. Well, he could take it any time he wants if only he fucking knew.

Whatever Delta dug up there is surely again going to be seen as more evidence of Shadow's foresight despite this being pure coincidence again. :D

The amount of misunderstandings in this episode was funny and while it was a mostly happy ending Cid did not find the gold, and he thinks the girls are upset at him lol. He really has no clue that the girls took the gold and now their empire is bigger than ever.

Anyways, I suspect Delta wants to have babies with Cid and I'm curious to see what she dug up.

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.

it was hilarious
from the girls creating the most complex plot that was never cids intention, to the fact that cid actually executed a mastermind plan against his actual foes that he doesnt even realize actually exist, to the final scenes where he is just mad someone stole his gold and the two beast character think he is fighting for a noble cause
it was peak comedy 😂

Wait...what did Delta dig up? DANG YOU CLIFFHANGER!

And of course Cid probably walked far enough by then that he didn't hear her.

The fact that the "message" he left behind was decoded to spell out exactly where he was keeping the coins...did he even realize he did that?
Not sure if they were trying to show if he was forgetful, dense, or was it just a series of coincidences (ie: he didn't think they'd decode it so fast) or all of the above.

I do like how the words/dialogue he said to Gettan (as he was fighting him) made it seem like he thought Yukime was "precious" (thus it implies +1 to harem) but other than that I have mixed feelings of how this arc wrapped up....hmmmm.....

The amount of misunderstandings was crazy this episode 😂😂😂

This show is so stupid but I love it. Yukime joining Shadow garden was pretty surprising.

Delta and Shadows relationship is really cute. I’m curious what delta found buried in the snow.

I’m interested to see where the rest of the season goes from here.

It's amazing how the misunderstandings somehow all end up working in Cid's favour.

At least now the girls in Shadow Garden don't have to be depressed at Shadow's "betrayal". It was sad seeing Alpha looking so depressed.

Very good episode, really nice ARC.

The dinamic between hin delta is really nice, having all those showers and perfume did absolute nothing to delta's OP sniff ability xD

Poor Alpha, i really liked the scene when she sees delta's hairpin all broken.
Wish they had a bit more time on that note, shows just how important they are to each other.

The hug in the end was very nice tho.

7/12 Episodes, let's hope they end things on a good note, with Yuki and the dude treasure strong presence in this episode, we might get some closure on her story atleast.

I think the show would be just so much better if Cid was even just half as clever and planned just a fraction as far ahead as his fangirls think. It's getting quite tedious how this guy fucks up basically everything he touches but somehow it turns into gold anyway because smart people around him pick up his ideas and perfect them.

This is the best quality episode in a while. I felt the animation quality dropped in the vampire arc but this is pretty great. Also funny how the world screws around with him when Delta finds something after he has gone off into hiding

Hahaha I love this show 😂 The misunderstandings between everyone leading to random big-brain developments that end up looking well thought out are hilarious.

Also loved the "some precious to me" stuff where Shadow was really talking about the gold coins 😂

Edit: Also think I need to go back to watch the "paper bag on head" arc at the start of season one, because when Yukime was having flashbacks of Cid "saving" her or something, I had absolutely no idea what it was about. I guess when he was being a bandit killer he saved her or something...?

Gettan: (points at Yukime)
Shadow: (thinks that he points to the location of the "stollen" golds instead)
Shadow: (went with Delta to dig out the supposed location. All bc of a misunderstanding)
Delta: (clonk!) Boss, found something!

The lesson here: NEVER play UNO against Shadow! What he wished is a reverse card, so that he could chuuni-ly say "UNO reverse card!". Yet bc his luck stat is so high, he'd pick +4 after +4 everytime instead. Thus, ruining your day.

PS:
Sad alpha is sad.... Relieved Alpha is wholesome.... Must protecc Alpha!
@uncleqrow the thing is that Yukime's name is literally "Eyes of snow" in japanese so when Gettan said "Yuki..." Shadow thought he was talking about the snow and not about Yukime

The series of misunderstanding had me loling. In the end things worked out, everything according to the master plan that never existed. Shadow even claimed Yukime as his precious someone, *laughs*. Great to have her with shadow garden, I'm glad we'll have more of her. Btw what does Delta want from Shadow so much? Babies?
@MegamiRem Babies? Based on the conversation a couple of episodes ago, I think yes? But not in any kind of romantic way. I think she might view Shadow Garden as a clan of sorts, with Shadow as patriarch, Alpha as matriarch, and at least the original seven, maybe all the named, as sister-wives.

She certainly invited Shadow to overthrow her father and become patriarch of her birth clan, so clearly she thinks he's chieftain material.

Maybe the LN/Manga proves me completely wrong, though. Who knows... Certainly not me!

lol he didn’t realise that they decoded his message and took the gold

Ironically he was actually trying to help the girls but he mainly wanted control of the money now he’s back to where he began not even knowing the store/ bank and probably become near enough as powerful as the royal family.

That thus we say goodbye to the Lawless City arc. It’s so good in the manga and LN and well adapted here. Although some of the fights scenes should’ve been longer but all good.

Just gotta say though. Yukime has one of the best character designs. Elegant and beautiful all the same

Banks closing due to lack of currency is a new one. Alpha sure suffered quite the shock from her defeat last ep. The translated message though sure did well in dispelling the gloom that Alpha and co were going through. Shadow's timing for his entrances was as impecable as always. He sure made the fight against Gettan pretty one sided. In the end im glad that Gettan and the cult's plans were dealt with successfully. The expression that Gamma and her girls gave as they showed the masses that pile of gold coins really was priceless. Shadow's rewriting of santa as a character though lol.
@Shingster

Look into American banks.

They are experts in looting their customers and getting saved by the tax payer at the same time.

If you're going to find some dumbshit way a bank was closed, you'll find it in Murica.

@MegamiRem
Mating season? In our world, wolves Mating season typically occurs between January and March. Given how the episode showed us it is the Winter season, maybe Delta's mating season was around the time.

My only issue, with this episode, is What Did Delta found when Digging?!! And did she take that precious item back home?!!!

As for the fight with Shadow and Gettan, I felt it could have been longer but meh, I did enjoy Shadow kicking Gettan in the mouth which gave a good meaning of the "put my foot down" metaphor.

A nice episode. I'm glad Yukime has joined Shadow Garden. Its funny how it was revealed this was another random person he unintentionally saved as a kid when he was playing around as the bandit stylish slayer.

Delta is too precious! That talk at the end was so entertaining. It literally was just a father trying to explain to his daughter why she cant have whatever she wants. And of course she actually ends up finding something which I bet will be super important/useful that he unintentionally helped Shadow Garden discover.
