| This is so unbelievably fucking stupid, and I love every minute of it |
| WTF was that final???????? I can't stop laughing!!! Shadow got really mad with Rose. Interesting that the girl Shadow saved in the beginning of this season changed her life completely and became the onwer of an tavern. She looks to admire Shadow so much, but Cid doesn't note it. Interesting to know that only nine girls recieved Shadow's Power directly from him. 664 and 665 are very disrespectiful with the Hierarchy. They really chalange Shadow because of Rose. Did Rose's hair really just grew in only three days? |
| OMG LOL...That ending where Shadow gets pissed off at Rose is so priceless. IMO, the beginning of the episode was sort of weird with the timeline...I mean... They apparently were fighting the cult/first children or whatever for 3 days straight but the fact that a newspaper article was printed and dispersed that fast is kind of unbelievable imo... Plus it seems the core of Shadow Garden heard about all this even before the 3rd day (yet it doesn't seem they care about the numbers still fighting? Way to show no disregard whatsoever at the numbers....) Also...didn't the two numbers + Rose stay in the same inn as Cid in the beginning of the episode? I'm shocked they didn't go like "S'UP! Master/Shadow!" I mean....maybe the two numbers didn't recognize him/realize he's the leader for one reason or another [since they weren't recruited into Shadow Garden by Cid/Shadow] but Rose surely would've... That's some weird loophole/plot armor right there? |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| So this new girl no. 559 aka Victoria also received her powers directly from Cid just like Rose, hopefully we'll get more backstory on her. I didn't care for Victoria suddenly wanting to kill Rose's mother and then Rose when Rose stopped Victoria's attack but apparently Victoria knows more than the other girls. Cid's misunderstandings continue to be funny and it was cool that he helped the inn keeper out with the bag of gold. Anyway, I'm thinking that Rose is being forced into this marriage so I'm sure she'll be happy to see Cid. |
thanks. I was just a little confused because she said she also got her power from MC directly. |
| love that Cid just ignores every single serious detail...but when it comes to not maintaining his harem via marriage, that triggers him lol |
| So we not going back to what Delta found in the snow? come one man... Number 666? Is that an employee ID Number? LMAO Cid misunderstanding continues. |
 |
| Oof, we haven't seen Cid's Mob-fu arts in a while, he got his ass whopped lol. Also looks like he got to do some minor things in the shadow just as he wanted. Lmao what? Cid doesn't know about the numbers? I'm sure he would've at least heard something about it from the Seven Shadows lol. Wow Cid zoomed outta there. Just going at a casual Mach 10 speed, light work tbh. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Lmao that was great How stupid hahaha I like 559’s character despite being unreasonable. Her love/excitement for Shadow is awesome |
 |
| I know this isnt the type of story for it and rose is way too important but damn I wish number 589 would have just killed her. I always root for side characters, for the true underdogs, for the average person. And she definitely fits that more than rose. Im not even sure 589 is her number. I always wondered how shadow garden worked, because of alpha everyone seemed so serious about it. The entire "forget your past life" thing they did with Rose really hammered home they should have no attachements to their past life. But Roses team seems pretty chill with the idea of betraying shadow garden for her mom? I guess the further you go down the corporate ladder the less serious they get. Dont get me wrong Im all for helping out a friend, but someone from their life they should have abandoned, who is mission important no less? Imagine 589 had not taken 666 with her! |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Cid unknowingly nailing what he aimed for, all while getting pumped up by his own moves, is like hitting the jackpot of success. I dig how he's just clueless about the whole Shadow Garden, Rose, and Marie connection in the plot. It's like he's always on the edge of figuring it out, but then he takes a detour and starts his own convos that folks actually respond to, haha. And his whole plan is this mix of helping and betraying Rose, like the ultimate JRPG plot setup! XD |

| On to Volume 4! YES! |

Cid is one of the worst protagonists I have ever seen, I know that is supposed to be funny, the fact that he is an overpowered idiot, but I simply find his idiotic, aimless and careless approach to life annoying and watching how the story unfolds around his idiotic antics and the weight he has as a character in the story has made me lose almost all interest in this series, that feels like a weak fantasy knock off of One Punch Man, if Saitama was a brainless idiot obsessed with larping as batman and behaving like sociopath for the most part.
| @EduardEldritch Agreed. At this point, the only way I'd accept the OP Chuuni thing is if the show took itself even somewhat seriously and eliminated the misunderstanding trope. There are interesting plotlines and compelling characters at play but they're always overshadowed by the idiotic antics as you said. |
 |
| I enjoyed seeing Marie again and she's really trying hard to get started again. Cid takes pleasure in being admired by his triumphant appearances, but does his continued orbiting Marie, even with his usual apparent disinterest, indicate that he is actually interested in her, or in her past experience... hehe boi... 😏 Either way, I think he should recruit her to Shadow Garden. He would have less problems with her than 559 aka "Karen" lol |

thanks.
I was just a little confused because she said she also got her power from MC directly.
| @_Sanchay if you dont mind spoiler |
 |
| The visuals are stunning as usual. Sometimes i don't like the jokes, but overall solid. |

| zamn bro doesn't get what tf is going on at all SMH |
 |
| So I guess the season will end with Well in any case, sasuga Shadow-sama, even with his misunderstanding he will always act in the right direction. |
| bruh |
| Cid is back and he's hilarious as ever! Number 559 is a great character! |
| This episode was a little confusing. Shadow was on a different page from everyone else most of the time. |
| Such drama, much woow |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| so the mother has a secret relationship with perv thats very weird this also makes roses sacrifice pointless |
 |
| and we're back with more Cid misunderstanding situations. |
| Curious to what will happen to Rose...but she'll very probably be saved anyway |
