| Ah yes, Cid again plays the role of an infiltrator this episode and it involved Rose as well. Out of any character in the show to do investigating, Cid is the more fit for this job. And oh, it's also interesting to note that Cid has piano skills. I swear, this guy has more talent than any other guy in the show so far. Never really liked Rose much but she did she had to do. |
 |
| It’s hilarious to see these people discussing how it’s over for Rose, now that Shadow himself is after her case, when in reality, he’s after Rose for the sole reason of… somehow convincing her against the marriage lol. Be it that way, dude did arrive at the whereabouts of Rose where he conveniently met Epsilon. Leaving aside the 99.9% slime content padding up her boobas, it was she who led him inside the palace. Aizen’s VA voicing Perv Asshat would always be a classic, though little does the man know, he had met Cid somewhere else too, when he was going with his average joe persona. Still to see Cid’s piano performance even moving him so far as appreciating the heck out of it was hilarious. Cid got what he needed… the jewels, the key, and later on Rose’s location too. Thought we’d see Cid in his Shadow persona reuniting with Rose, but no, he did in his usual self. The whole conversation might feel a LOT sentimental at first glance, but we know the dream Cid was referring to and the dream Rose was assuming were quite “opposite” lol. Still, she might have said her goodbye to Cid and has pretty much fallen into the palms of Asshat, we know she would not see a non-happy end. Have to feel for Rose again, as I mean the mother, for whom she has to go to such lengths, is quite literally a hoe smh. |

| Oof. I forgot how good Moonlight Sonata is. Upon learning of Rose's impending marriage to Doem, Cid becomes enraged, adding more fuel to the fire after hearing that she'll be handing over the throne. Determined to confront her and seek clarity on her decision, he infiltrates the Oriana palace by assuming the role of a music student under Epsilon, a renowned musician in Oriana. Utilizing compositions taught to Rose by Cid, who is known for his musical prowess, he gains access to the palace. However, his presence raises suspicion, and Doem, skeptical of Cid's identity, insists on a piano performance to verify his claim as the apprentice of the esteemed musician. It's great to see Epsilon again. LOL at "slime 99%". Cid always sees through her antics. Margarette is also giving it her best shot without any slime involved, trying to win him over. Cid playing the piano and robbing the audience cracked me up. The ugly bastard, or I mean the castle guard, attempting to confront Cid while he repeatedly says "excuse me" was hilarious. This show is just too funny, I can't believe it. I knew Perv was a bad guy, but being abusive to your future wife is just beyond me. The way Perv and Mordred's last scene played out has got me so hyped for these final episodes of the season. |

| I love how Cid constantly calls Perv Asshat a cliche villain lmao Him stealing the ring was really badass ngl 9:14 Laughed out loud at this one At first I thought the maid was a part of Shadow Garden too, but as she talked more I was convinced that she's a regular maid. Did she really fall in love just because of the performance lmao. Correct me if I'm wrong pls. Oh, we've seen Mordred at the end of season 1 right? Cool stuff. Lambda is singing the ED this time. Go save Rose, Shadow! I'm really looking forward to Shadow Garden's reaction to that lol. Edit: HOLUP I JUST REALIZED THAT WAS ROSE'S MOM AT THE END |

| Great episode, I loved how they did the Cid piano scene. It seems this season will end adapting the first arc of volume 4... |
 |
| The queen's life is in so danger she doesn't even have the time to dress up properly. |
 |
| All of Shadow Garden reeling in on princess Rose Oriana a.k.a No. 666's betrayal, it's better to have Shadow a.k.a Cid handle this matter himself. Epsilon's sudden convolution with Cid to inspect on Rose, and other than her slime boobs working to her grain, Duke Perv Asshat is the rather distinguished enemy who is unapologetic to his noble traits. The duke wanting Cid to play the piano, and his Moonlight Sonata is back once again to shake up the hearts of everyone present while stealing their jewelry, it's typical Cid on display. Rose's maid trying to play with Cid by comparing her true born boobs, he's just contemplating every situation to work to his advantage while keeping his hands clean, even if the situation does look kind of cliché. Even the guard is jealous of Cid, though how he manages to bend all the way is beyond humanly belief, and the fat prince guard has the hots for Rose's maid? What a Kill-Bill of religion. Rose may know of what will happen to her kingdom, and Cid slipping by to meet her and convince her to stop the marriage in every conceivable way, she needs just some convincing, but it's clear that Perv Asshat is controlling her life in name if considering on her mother, Queen Reina. The Numbers dealing with Rose's case (which is now given to Cid to settle), they hope that he will bring the plan to fruition, while they just take care of him, together with Epsilon. To gain a spot in the Round of the Knight Table, Perv Asshat sure does not know that the Ring of Possession is in Cid's hands, though he'll always find a way to act innocent about it. Now, I'm worried of how they're going to wrap this up in 2 episodes... |
 |
| A lot of bouncing in this episode xD "Perv, where are you" Really gave me the rest at the end, pure comedy |
| Been a while since Cid played piano. Epsilon back with the slime lol. Liking the new girl too so far, she's cute and seems really loyal to Cid. Would like to see her story sometime. There were some funny moments too this episode. Like the 99% slime and 0% slime lol. Cid having a serious conversation while eating the snacks was hilarious too. Wonder if we'll see the maid again. |

| Fantastic episode. Called it last week that Rose's mom was sus AF and sure enough she is. Man I am really looking forward to the rest of this arc |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Summer 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| I hope both Cid and Rose realize their "dreams" together (nevermind they're completely different lol) but Rose really is having it rough. Not only is Perv an a-hole but it looks like her mom is sleeping with him... and Rose is supposedly doing this for her. At least Cid has the ring and he knows that the marriage is a sham so I'm looking forward to watching how he counters this. |
| That seemed like Rose's mom at the end there. If so, what is she even fighting for? Unless, of course, her mom's also in the same state as her husband. |
 |
| Actual funny episode. I like when Cid was acting like he's serious when confronting Rose lmao |
| It was pretty easy to see Rose's mum was a willing participant but that added twist at the end there was sublime. Is there no end to the miseries Rose must endure. I'm beginning to wonder about Cid's sexuality given his utter disregard for all female advances... |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Great to see Lambda in the flesh and on the field. The recon mission was tailored perfectly for Epsilon. Amusing how a random maid ended up spoiling Epsilon's little date/recon with Shadow though. Margaret though really went right for the kill thats for sure. Rose sure is in quite the spot trapped between her family and her desire to change herself. Being served by both Epsilon and Vic must be like a dream. Looks like we'll be seeing the confrontation between Rose/Shadow Garden and Perv and his forces sooner than we thought. |

| The fact that he has no clue about that ring is hilarious. Also Rose's mum is fucking Perv Asshat? Bruh... |
| back at it with the piano. maid was all over him. |
 |
| “99 percent slime” lmaoo epsilon, man just let it go. Flat chests are better anyway and will make you stand out since all the other girls have massive tits Great episode. They cut out a lot of Rose’s internal monologue while she was waiting for Cid to come for her. Basically praying that he’d come rescue her. Of course once he gets there, she doesn’t want him to be involved in things. Bro eating cookies while giving her a motivational speech and telling her not to give up had me dying. Cid is the most unintentionally funny person of all time. Do feel really bad for rose though. I remember reading this and thinking how messed up it must be to be isolated from shadow garden, all your friends at school, family, not knowing your mother is a cheating thot, etc etc. if anyone deserves a happy ending it’s her. Perv is gonna shat(pun intended) his pants when he realises that ring is gone. Bro think he got everything so meticulously planned lol. Can’t wait for next week |

| I'm sorry, but that hand slip motion Cid does every time he wants to escape his hand from the grasp of a woman is always funny to me. The struggling motion before the hand moves like slime is surprisingly entertaining. It's the same thing Cid did from Rose on the train in Season 1, so it was a bit unexpected to see it again this season. It's just those little details. As usual, Epsilon slimes, not pads, her chest, though she goes through extreme lengths to make them look genuine. 99% slime content and "She's even incorporating chaos theory into this excessively excess-avoidant excess of effort" is one hell of a description. Other than that, looks like we're setting up the arc to end this season, so that should be pretty interesting. |
  |
| Poor Epsilon, xD. We've got to appreciate the effort she puts into maintaining those perfectly sculpted and balanced big boobs for the sake of the show and performance, xD. And Cid...gosh, I love his character so much! I won't deny it; I'd definitely join his harem, haha. Despite all his flaws (constantly showing off, appearing and speaking like an ass, stealing valuables), he's still so charming. I can't help but fangirl over him with the rest of the Shadow Garden, xD. I wonder if he'll ever actually end up falling for one of the characters... I kind of hope he doesn't, to be honest. His tactlessness is part of his charm, after all, and it's just hilarious, lol. |
 |
| This eps is about how many boing boing altough there's one is fake. Victoria lips so |
 |
| I really wonder if Cid is ever going to reveal himself to Rose |
 |
| Cid's narritive is great. A nice, rather laid back episode. |
| . |
| Did the first season have jokes that kept on repeating itself as much as this 2nd season? I swear it didn't, but maybe I'm just not remembering right... I know what they're going for with it, but it's just not clicking with me that much, definitely not letting out audible laughter like I was in the first season... |
Reply to DheCupidore
Was this anime always a comedy?
| @DheCupidore Yes, it's been satire from the beginning. |
Reply to Zxstu
Will Cid ever stop being super oblivious and just straight up ignoring or disregarding the whole organization that was built for him Shadow Garden?
Because I feel like if Cid actually was working with Shadow Garden the anime would be a 10/10
Opinions though?

| @Zxstu If he was working with Shadow Garden, it would be a boring generic isekai anime. Whole show is basically based around Sid trying to do his thing while everyone else is doing their thing, and both sides meeting somewhere in the middle by accident. |
| Sheesh we got some things reappearing once again. The hand slippage, talking booba, and the after bath towel slap lol. Cid somehow skillfully taking all the jewellery, not letting any leave the room and even taking ones that seem impossible to take lol. And it looks like he stole a plot item too, how very Cid of him. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| This is great lmao. Loving this season Who was the girl in the ecchi ending frame?? |
 |
| finalllly we can see more cid kagenou as shadow garden leader !! |
