| The queen and Beta and her troops sure made dramatic entrances. The battle against the queen though sure escalated quite wildly. Being able to enhance oneself using the blood of your enemies though really sounds handy. Aurora's dual with the queen was on another level entirely. But it was Shadow's fight with the queen though that was epic. Overall a pretty fun ep that featured not only top notch action but also quite a lot of expansion on Claire and Aurora as well. Looks like the queen and Mary are back to their old roles now but im glad that they survived. Curious at what the fox has to say though. |

| That fight with the queen elisabeth was so nice wow and also how cid joined the battleground with his coolness. Looks claire has awaking powers but she has not under control with her body. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| The BGM playing as he declares that he will plunder the Lawless City when he needs to; I literally can't. Also, "I am Recovery Atomic" is just not it. Doesn't hit the same as the OG Atomic. |
 |
| Damn as always Cid has no opponent to match him. Funny after everything of what happened, he at least got some gold coins. Not enough to hold him for life, but there's lawless city aka the piggy bank to support him financially lmao |
| aurora crumbsss lets go!!! she still so hot and her (almost) atomic, yeah best girl fr. beta was fangirling so hard, love her for that. fight vs elizabeth was cool asf and yukime will be FIENDING for john smi- Shadow forsure. |
| Did I forgot details of season 1 or how could Aurora suddely appeared in Claires body? Is there an explanation? Or just rule of cool?^^ This wide shot was crazy good, love how they slowed it down for a second before the fight continued  |
| Aurora came back, happy for that. Man I can't get enough of this show. Hyped for the next arc. |
| Don't believe the hype. |

@thieftheodore no. just say what happened
| @HagePotPotato Claire has a combination of possessed blood (which she already has) + vampire blood after Elizabeth bite her. This means means her body's physiology is closer to Aurora's than anyone else. Plus Claire being Shadow sister made Aurora want to save her |

| @utopica Both vampires and possessed share the same source: Diablos aka Aurora. Claire, being a descendant of the heroes, already had a strong influence of the blood of the possessed, which was stabilized by Сid, and after she was injected with the blood of the vampire progenitor, the two different branches resonated and she would most likely have died Aurora being an original in gratitude for her brother's help intervened and since the influence of her blood in Claire was beyond all imaginable limits, she was able to incarnate into her. |

What an episode this was. Aurora is back and she really tried pulling of an I am atomic lmao. The action was intense, vampire queen strong but Aurora and Shadow stronger. Shadow actually went ahead and saved everyone involved, what a guy. Also they really made Claire into a chuuni lol. I'm pretty sure she knows Cid is Shadow. Now what does the fox nee san want with him.
| @MegamiRem I expect she just wanted to mate er I mean meet with him... |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| I am recovery atomic. That was such an anti-climatic moment for me, even though it was supposed to be that way. Wasn't as epic as Aurora's failed one lol. I completely forgot about her, but she seems to be doing well. Claire got a new power which will bring her some trouble on her path, but she'll get used to it just like Shadow. Who is currently facing the fox in a train. The animation near the end was great, but everything before that were low quality cuts. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| They handled the gold part really well Pacing seemed to be the best among the first 3 episodes as well |
| story mad as always, crazy haha. |

They cut/changed a bit from the source, but not bad. Feel like they probably needed another episode to cover this part properly, but they made it work well enough.
Not sure if everyone caught it, but Cid sees the ghouls, vampires, and the possessed stuff as nearly exactly the same as magic overload. He learned how to treat it when he was experimenting with the original 7 girls as a kid. He views it as a cheap trick, and not a threat.
I saw a couple comments so to clarify, Claire does not know who Shadow is. She does not suspect Cid. The really weird part is that Rose hasn't figured it out either. But honestly, the fact that Cid hasn't figured out that Shadow Garden isn't an elaborate theater trick, is even more ridiculous, so if you can accept that, then should this really bother you? Maybe, but that's both the joke and reason that anything happens, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
This next arc is pretty great. I'm fairly confident they'll be stopping at the end of it, and saving the next big arc for season 3.

| @Leaf_It it's because Cid got too strong that there's no difference between Cult and mere bandits. To him a real cult that rule the world from shadow should be as strong as him |

| The gold coin moment was hilarious. I kept smiling the whole time. This anime is so ridiculous, I love it. Edit: also at the end where Cid start thinking his sister is a chuuni as well lol. |
 |
| Damn, this episode went so hard. |
| With how it the fighting scenes got animated they weren't too bad in comparison to the manga. The ones in the manga did feel more epic. All in all pretty solid episode. |
| . |
| That post credits scene will probably be a marriage proposal, knowing Cid's unmatched rizz levels |
 |
| 'tis better than what I expected. Thought this episode would be the same as the manga but no, it's better. |
 |
| Thank goodness you guys explained the Claire and Wtich of Calamity situation. I was so lost. I thought Claire got isekai'd back into the modern world. |

| @utopica Epic! It's scenes like this that make anime great. Slow it down, make it impactful to the viewers, continue. Very simple thing that many other shows are unfortunately lacking (Yeah, I'm looking at you Hametsu). I must give credit to Nexus on the job they did with this anime. They are not some top-tier studio, but even with obvious limitations, they know when and how to make important parts stand out. |
| Shadow being able to heal with atomic, Claire now having a cursed right arm that contains aurora, and more misunderstandings galore? I love this series. It just rides the rule of cool so well. |
