So can someone help me with this. I heard the prison break arc was the next arc. So was it just made into that one quick scene or no? Did the anime skip it?
@Peenutz I don't even remember it being in the LN let alone it being a whole arc

It probably wasn't the best idea to immediately take her mother. It shouldn't have been surprising that Rose chose to protect her.

Cid's current plan for Rose had me laughing with how ridiculous they were.

559 is looking to be a threat for Shadow Garden in the future. It's always her type that ends up ruining everything by assuming she knows what's best for other people and taking radical actions based on it. She needs to be put down somehow before she ends up hurting the people around Cid based on her own assumption

Mordred even says it later, incompetent allies are more troublesome than your enemies.

I just love the random connections that Shadow makes.

Without knowing it and still finds a way to make sure he exits cool af.

He didn't even remember the whore he helped. Nor that she was his proprietress.

Keeping sighted whats important. Setting up his exit strategy and getting his hotel bill comped.

I still can't fathom how powerful shadow is. Also, when did he learn to fly? How does he fly so fast? No one else seems to know how to fly except him.

@The_Black_B3ast we've seen him float/fly several times before, such as when he baited atomic on Midgar at the end of last season or early on in S2 when he fought the vampire queen

Shadow sama getting fired up over Rose's marriage rather than her turning into a traitor was lowkey hilarious asf XD

I know this show is just one huge chuuni fantasy and does it very very well, but I think this episode made Shadow look just a little bit too much like an idiot. All of the other times things kind of stretched and fell into his lap with everyone thinking he had intricately planned it out, had a believable sense of wonder and just seemed to fit. But this episode takes it a bit too far.

I have mostly forgotten the contents of season 1. So, 666 is Rose Oriana, a princess who was forced to marry some Perv guy, whom I guess is an actual pervert. I don’t remember why she killed her father, but I guess he wasn’t a good ruler.

Cid wanted her to become the next ruler, but the news of her getting engaged to that Asshat made him furious. That would derail his plans. He wanted her to be the ruler, not the Asshat guy.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

So Cid went off on his own adventure and in the meantime Rose managed to get captured again cause she wants to save her mom. Cid met up with that random prostitute from a few episodes ago and saved her ass again.

Bro's mad at Rose for "breaking character" lol

Could we all agree that our main character is an idiot.
They strut around shouting that he's the eminence of the shadows, but he doesn't even understand what's going on. That's already an admission of weakness.

More of Cid going around and leaving his band of Shadow Garden chicks to just do what they want. That 559 is a problem. she thinks she is special and I can see her being something that comes back to bite them all in the ass at some point.

Rose getting married is probably to save her mom's life. I got the sense that her mom didn't really want to be there to unlock the pedestal that led to the ring/key thing.

Oh God, back in another serious arc with a seriously aggravating misunderstanding at every single level possible...
It's crazy how Cid AKA Shadow is so detached from reality that he isn't even aware of the numbers. Meaning that he doesn't realize that Rose has been part of Shadow Garden all this time as 666. Has he not at least become somewhat more aware of the things around him, for fucks' sake nothing changed at all...

What's worse is his single-minded focus on playing his shtick as the Eminence in Shadow. Despite everything that has been alluded to him regarding the Cult's control over the previous King of Oriana and seeing Rose killing her own father first hand. Shadow never realized what was actually happening and simply made a head-canon that Rose is trying to be a tyrant. After everything... This is just sad, pathetic even.

Speaking of Rose, I thought she discarded everything to do with her identity when she became a Number. It seems that Lamda needs to step up her game when training future candidates. Else, you get this kind of betrayal. Ridiculous.

"and become the ultimate bloodthirsty tyrant." The main character has completely lost it. But he's so stupid! Well, that's nothing new, really. But this time, it's so incredibly stupid that you wonder if the main character is actually intelligent at all. I seriously ask myself that question at this point in the story. And this is the third time I've rewatched the story. Every time I see this part again, I think, what the hell has the main character been smoking? xD

When the show started, Cid was the strong point.

But he gets stupider and the same jokes dont work anymore, meanwhile, the "supporting" cast, gets more and more diverse and interesting



So why are we spending animation time on stupid meaningless embarassing frames?

Guess these Isekai Shounen Writers never learn.

Well, it was great folks, strap in for the bad part that makes you hide that you liked the show in the first place

Cid traveled to the Oriana kingdom. That place looks like a dump. But I guess that's normal during a civil war.

Finally, back to the plot. Specifically Rose plot. About time. Seems like she's still conflicted over killing her father. Understandable. I don't think it's easy to get over the trauma of killing your parent, even if they approved of it. And just after killing her dad, she had to watch her mom being killed too? Her betrayal was 100% justified.

Cid's acting as a mob character is still impeccable. But he had no idea why Rose killed her dad? No fucking way. Just how dense is this guy. Tho it's probably cause he simply doesn't give a fuck about anything at all lol. I liked how he protected Mary tho. Small acts of kindness like this keeps him from becoming an insufferable character.

Lmfao his understanding of Rose is so fucked. Wonder how disgusted she'd be if she found out. But it's funny how he thinks Rose wanna marry that asshat.
