| I think this episode featured Cid's most dangerous opponent, yet, or at least someone capable of actually killing him. Wonder if we saw a glimpse of Cid's true vicious side. On the other hand, I hope the other Shadow Garden members can contribute to this arc more. Feels like Cid is carrying this arc recently. |

| Cid got both Nelson and the Hero Olivier GOOD...by becoming a literal human vampire and avoiding death like the Chuuni he is lols. Even when Nelson brings out the many copies of Olivier through the power of the Sanctuary, they're no match for Cid with his once again "I Am (the All-Range) Atomic" fashion. God, that NEVER gets old. Awakening in another area with the Sanctuary gone, Cid has carried his work through Aurora, and like the flower petal in the wind, she disappears and fades into oblivion, saving the precious memory together with Cid for a farewell. This is also assumed by both Alexia, Beta and Rose to know that Shadow Garden is real, and they definitely getting closer to the hidden truth behind the scenes. Shadow Garden has definitely made leaps in their research: the Witch of Calamity being the Demon Diablos and expanding their presence in lots of areas: Gamma in terms of real estate for example. Definitely a moment between Cid and Alpha in their young days growing and training Shadow Garden the way it is today. Also, the name Perv Asshat (I'm sure know you the puns that this show likes to make) is just a delight to see lols. But this has implications: both Midgar sisters Iris and Alexia have seen all they need to see and know that tbey have to take down both the Cult of Diablos and Shadow Garden, with some nice fanservice. And yes, that's Alexia perfecting Cid's towel slap from the hot springs episode. Yelp, that's some cliffhanger right there... A good return to form! Lovin' it! |

| I really love these moments, they were very heartwarming to watch. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Delta being Delta, howling at the top of her lungs like a stray dog or even a lone wolf. Also what was that sound that Iris heard |
 |
| Shadow hype! That atomic was epic. So Aurora is Diabolos, damn. I hope she someday joins Shadow. Alexia still doing that lmao? Also Iris is delusional, she's averting her eyes from the truth. |
 |
| Another ATOMIC scene and it was just as glorious as the previous one.. Man the OST of that gives me goosebumps.. we got some alexia and her sister fanservice at the end.. noice so Aurora turned out to be Diablo.. much to my surprise for once.. I really thought she was just a witch.. so the whole Diablo vs Olivier is a made up story by the church.. (notmuchtomysurprise) Anything else hopes that we get more of the Shadow Garden and Cid scenes together or nah? but it looks like its Shadow Garden and Cid on separate paths.. |
| Oh yeah, we got another Atomic moment I was waiting for something like that again xD |
 |
| im atomic !!!!!! this is so cool !! aurora best nee san moment !! |
| Aurora or something is another hottie Cid made to fall head over heels to him, unintentionally... Unfortunately, she was deemed as Diabolos by Alpha... I wonder what's the true story behind it... (I won't even try looking for spoilers) Another great episode, I really enjoyed this, again! Keep up the awesome work! |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I'll never get why people aren't enjoying this series, it's so fun and satisfying to watch, at least until the weekly cliffhanger. |

| This was a kinda boring episode, not exactly worth the cliffhanger from last week. I blame myself for not doing what I usually do for this season, by waiting until the show is over and binge watch it. Ngl, I enjoyed the show a lot for the first 6 episodes or so. But I feel it's progressively getting more and more worse/boring, there are a few decent moments here and there, but.. eh. The show is also going on loop with its arc pattern of Cid finding himself in trouble (abduction/school hostage/red door), moves around doing whatever while his squad is doing something in the background, then he goes for the kill or whatever. And nothing much really changed with him since the start. Now that I'm typing this I'm actually getting annoyed. lol I'm also still waiting for Cid to have any good moment with literally any character from his group but nothing so far. They only show us their huge loyalty and flashbacks to when he saved them but that's just it. Their relationship is just shallow af, actually, the same is true for every relationship in this show. Just throwing here and there random ass moments between the girls' daily lives isn't interesting. Do that when you actually DO something interesting, then I wouldn't mind that much. Even the comedy with them (not when it's him doing his pretending scenarios) fucking suck. Short rant over, I guess. I hope it gets better from now on but not expecting much. |
| Man, I'm enthralled. Another stellar ATOMIC moment, beautiful execution - I love the dramatic aural pause, so cool. And how about that cliffhanger, eh? I thought I was out, but it pulled me back in. |
| So the match was basically decided before it even started with Cid's overpowered skills huh. Well, what was I expecting anyway considering how the show has been thus far. Then we got some lore that at this point even if I try to follow exactly it feels like information is either missing or I've completely forgotten about. What's keeping me is the dumb stuff he pulls but that's about it since the rest of the characters and the animation aren't anything to write home about. |

| A large scale atomic attack once again. No idea what kind of assets Cid hiding beneath that toned body of his. They mentioned Aurora being the demon Diabolos and that certainly came out of nowhere. Sure there's a long tale behind that. |
 |
| did alexia try cid's towel slap at the end there ahahah? cid went all out again. the neck bite was surprising though. decent episode. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
Thread cleaned. Please refrain from asking where you can watch/download the episode. |
| housing bubble?! that was exquisite!! kekeke |
| Great to see another "Atomic" moment. It was nice seeing the small bit with shadow members in their free time. |
 |
| Another fun and entertaining episode, glad that this series continued without a break. So looks like Aurora is gone but was part of the Diablos cult? I wonder if we'll see her again and if she will be on Cid's side or not. LOL at the continued trash talking between Alexia and Beta, such as when they decided to form a team and Beta implied Alexia is the deadweight, their rivalry is entertaining. Also, speaking of Alexia, I wasn't sure what those two smacks were after she left the sauna with Iris but a couple of people here mentioned it's her practicing Cid's towel smack lol. I remember hearing that smack after Cid left Alexia in the hot springs. Lastly, what's up with Rose?? Is she infected with a Diablos cult virus or something? Looking forward to seeing what that's about. |
| I need more atomic moments! |
