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.

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...
