Everyone talking about how hype this episode was that we have forgotten that our man Imaatrynotloose have lost this time around after his long streak not not losing, mad respect to you dude, you certainly were a real one here, you did your best and I hope you get rewarded later.

I dont know how but Mundanne Man fights were the most epic ones of the series, until the last part when he shows he's actually Shadow and Rose ruins the scene

This episode was hype. Iris got wrecked. She didn’t stand any chance against Cid. That entrance of Cid was badass but man that cliffhanger. Can’t believe next week is the last episode. I’m super excited

I don't know if you can make better endings for each episode in an anime. Every episode I just have to watch the next one.

I am impressed by the Kings, both Midgar and Oriana.
Midgar King seems to be a wise and calm king.
Oriana King is controlled, however he used all his consiousness to tell Rose what to do and love her conditionless.

Great episode, not much to say. I wonder how much time they'll allot for the Beatrix and Shadow fight though. 

Also, I wanted to say that the Cid background character part makes excellent use of the camera, slowly having Cid slip out of frame.

Cid really embodies the mindset of rule of cool no matter what. To psychopathic outcomes! Poor Iris seeing her death over and over whilst just trying to regain her citizens faith and trust in her combat skill. The cliffhanger with Beatrix unexpectedly protecting Perv and fighting Shadow was really excellent too. This show definitely keeps the right balance of absurd and sincere!

This went from a 6 to a solid 8 for me. I will admit I was slow "getting" it and what it was trying to do, but now that it is almost over I can say for certain it succeeds in every aspect at what it does. I love the way it splits 2 to 3 narratives simultaneously while delegating the OP prota to background activities right until the final battle. It makes the allure of watching all of these over-the-top scenarios that could be their own anime's main story by themselves into unimportant and over-dramatic after-thoughts.

Ouch, they really scared me when Iris got decapitated O_O

Still, poor girl. She carries Kingdom's entire hope and pride and she get destroyed in one of the most merciless way. Give her some hugs and headpats Q_Q

Why Rose killed King not that Perv? Why she wanted to kill herself? Glad Stylish Bandit Slayer Shadow come to rescue her.

Killing Perv would not have changed the Oriana situation since the cult would just have another replacement so killing the king and herself would at least ensure her kingdom would stay out of their control for a while.

I would call this an EPIC episode.
Cid is still running away from his big sis, lol, condolences to her.

There were a few cute moments of Iris trying out milked coffee which was really enjoyable, what's more enjoyable is how fearful she is from Cid's tactics... which I have no clue what happened but it was still intriguing to watch Iris battling Cid as... (forgot the name...)

I guess the last episode would be more epic than this, I hope so and I can't wait... but at the same time, saddened, for this series' adaptation will come to an end after episode 20. The only thing I can do is to look forward to a future sequel.

Absolutely epic.

I hope the next episode is going to be ☢️ ATOMIC ☢️.

guh... its so boring to me when the MCs can't be touched, never struggle, are never scared and never take an L... never thought i'd get so tired of a trope... im starting to sound like a fucking anime boomer lol

well shit, at least hes finally fighting girls...

Who are clearly OP in this anime
that only makes it more boring to me that even his harem is untouchable 

it makes the characters less interesting as i know they'll never struggle lol

and ofc as usual with many of these shows, just make the bad guys a bunch of dumbass dudes and you're even more safe

You could say he is a type of Anos in his own verse who has absolute confidence in his abilities and strength so none can come close to his level.
clearly the most creative thing an anime of the last 7ish years or so has done 


i guess i just have to accept the fact that not everyone is done with having 20 Kirito clone isekai a year lol

What an episode! Like how he defeated Iris, i don't even have words to describe it, damn!
Oh and also, it became apparent to me in this episode that Beatrix would be his only possible enemy, from everyone else it could have been only her.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Oh also, loved the fact that Shadow revealed to the princess that he was the one who saved her and gave her a "new reason" to live lmao

Man, this show is fucking awesome, probably the best power fantasy I've ever seen, thanks to the comedic undertones that this series has. The fact that show is so self aware makes this ten times better than other OP MC shows.

iris is gonna be so traumatised now lmao. cid didn't even bother using his sword.

no idea why rose killed her father.

beatrix vs cid has got to be great. can't wait to watch next episode. this needs season 2 announcement asap.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

The show, from a pure critical standpoint, is mid at best. But the enjoyability while watching it is like 9/10! I think it is a great anime to watch for fun.

Shadow demonstrated how it is the correct way to use fear on an opponent, so much so that he feels that he is already dead or defeated without even moving.

I only created a myanime list account to rate this show. All the people that are saying the show sucks either left after the change that happens early on or don't understand that the show is satire and isn't taking itself seriously. Just trust me it is good not even going to explain anything more. I don't need to. Ignore any other review and that is that.

A joke that was setup throughout a whole season reached an immaculate payoff here. In the midst's of all of these classic cliché's coming together all of the suspense and build-up is completely halted for a moment of pure unadulterated ecstasy that few shows have allowed me to experience. There is no justice in this world if Eminence In Shadow isn't allowed to see its end.

I like that Cid genuinely seems to care a bit about Rose. I mean, he's also just doing what he thinks is cool, but objectively, looking from the outside, he's saved her life at least four times, and given her the strength and resolve to go on. and while his logic for a lot of that was twisted, and he doesn't really get what's going on with Rose, he still likes the cut of her jib and supports her in whatever she's doing. Stabbed her fiance? Good for her! Killed her father! You go, girl! 

my main ship is still Cid/Aurora but Rose is a distant second.
