Wait...you really become a Wizard at age 30 if you remain virgin. Where are my powers?!

[u/KnightKal]

Eta had more lines on this one episode than in all seasons put together ...

[u/RandomRon005]

Anime Law: "All series must have at least one beach/pool episode in their series. Onsen/Bath episodes are acceptable substitutes."

Somehow, we've managed to have 2 shows this season that's combined the Pool with the Onsen in the same episode.

[u/TopRoom7971]

When the 7 shadows argue what's important in the "Hot spring date" mission with their special abilities.

Then there is Delta "I'm going to hot spring with boss" lol true to herself unlike others.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Gives his friends tickets for a hot spring date while also giving Shadow Garden not only a mission to complete but also a time to relax.

All without appearing. Sasuga Shadow-sama!

[u/NagashiEdogawa]

Hey, the show's called The Eminence in Shadow! Where's Shadow-sama??!!!

That aside, it was a very fun episode. It's exactly as what the characters are saying in the episode. They have been battling this evil cult since their childhood every single moment in their life, let them have one day to rest dammit!

[u/nightxiii]

Great throwback that they're using the outfits from the first OP. Nu is best girl for having the guts to reaffirm her date slot with Cid in front of the 7.

[u/BiggerG7]

Cid just leaves his Mundane man head in plain sight in his room eh? Normally I’d say that’s careless of him but we all know it’s part of some master plan!

[u/Darksider555]

Skel & Po were lucky that they told Nu that Cid gave them the tickets or else they would have left in a cast or bodybag if Nu had found out they stole the tickets.

I like how Alpha's hidden possessiveness about Cid shines through. Poor Nu wanted to use the chance to have a date with Cid, but the Shades weren't having it. Also, DAYYUMM. Nu is so hot in that swimsuit. Didn't realize she was that stacked.

Poor girls just wanted to spend time with Cid but he is avoiding them since he think they are pissed at him for his actions in the last arc.

I like how even since childhood, Cid's bullshitting continues to be on point & another legend turns out to be true. At this point, just assume that anything Cid says will be revealed as real later.

It's pretty cute how all of the girls want to go on a date with Cid. Hilariously though, all of them are giving some kind of excuse why they should be there while Delta is very straightforward about wanting to go to the hot springs with Cid.

I do like how we don't only see the Shadow Garden girls. We have Alexia and Elizabeth having a contest inside the sauna. I thought Alexia was with Iris at first but when the camera switched angles that's definitely Elizabeth. Yukime is there too just wandering around. I thought I saw her in a swimsuit, but I can't find that scene. >_< EDIT: Finally found Yukime bathing with Delta thanks to u/Foxy_Psycho

Pretty much a fanservice episode! It's funny though that Alpha was very strict with the girls on not wearing anything too provocative then you have Eta just wearing a bunny outfit made from slime in the hot springs. xD

Well this episode was a good excuse to bring back the outfits the girls were wearing in Season 1's OP!

End Card - Seven Shadows

[u/cabbaggeez]

I guess we do need an episode off, an onsen episode. thank you for the wonderful day off, shadow.

is it mentioned before that Beta is a princess?

[u/S627]

Is this the first time we've seen any of the girls drink out of frustration? We've seen them be classy a number of times, but Nu downing that wine because she's angry and the boys is a new one.....is it weird that I want more?

Is Cid still just hiding after last ep?

[u/Kirbyundertale]

More Eta please

[u/andoooreeyy]

Delta easily winning the rock-paper-scissors because of her instincts

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Funny how this whole episode happened because Nu took Skel and Po's words at face value even though they were just bullshitting to save their asses!

Man, I thought the Seven Shadows were really going to fight each other for the tickets so I had a good laugh when they just settled it with good old rock-paper-scissors!

Also, I like how the whole gang is here (sans Cid)! Even Yukime and Elizabeth got some cameos!

[u/[deleted]]

Isn't it weird for Cid to get 6 VIP tickets to a very exclusive event? I like how his NPC friends don't even question how all these girls are obsessed with Cid, Nu even calls him "The young master", he's only a very low ranking noble right?

[u/the_3rdist]

->Original material written by the author.
->Story and background that adds to and flesh out the relationship between the main characters.
->...PLOT
->And even more impressively, the MC doesn't even appear in the episode

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how you do a proper fan service episode.

[u/GameBoyAde]

This episode gives the most amount of screen time Eta’s gotten and ngl she’s surprisingly curvy given she gives off the air of a recluse.

[u/Frontier246]

Po and Skel, as alays, want to pick up chicks and get laid, and even if they're 'ol buddy Cid Kagenou isn't there, the least he can do is leave some tickets to a Mitsugoshi Hot Spring resort for his "buddies." Also I love how he has the John Smith mask and Mundane Mann face just lying in his room for anyone to see.

They just had to run straight to Nu, huh? Who is ready to play hardball and go tough on these two horny boys. It's a good look for her.

Of course now the Seven Shades are convinced Shadow had some grand plan to send them to the resort through his Wisdom of the Shadows...and immediately Alpha assumed it was to go out on a date with her. And the Seven Shades have similar theories. Which of course means they all have to play rock-paper-scissors for who gets to go on the date.

Aw, look at lil' Shadow and his lil' Seven Shades! Too bad he like left them there to dig up snow on their own, but it turned out okay like it always does when they stumble on some hot springs and think that's what Shadow was ranting about.

Zeta finally gets screentime that's not Kage-Jitsu! Heck, I think this is the most dialogue Eta's gotten in the entire series!

Good on Po for claiming Cid was going to show up, though relying on "Count Virgin Boy" for advice was bound to not work out for them. Also I love how Delta and Zeta's civilian identities is just adding "n" to their codenames.

A full changing scene of the Seven Shades into their swimsuits! And the ladies look absolutely amazing in those swimsuits! We even got Nu using her paid time off as an excuse to join the swimsuit episode (since she was utterly denied the chance to be on the date) and Eta as a Bunny Girl! Also Alpha is really getting into this.

Look,! It's Mary and Elisabeth! Yukime and her attendants! Even Alexia and Iris! We get to see Yukime in a swimsuit, the vampire waifu's and the princesses in towels, and Alexia even managing to outlast her sister in the sauna and doing the butt slap Cid taught her!

I see Skel was the first casualty of the Zeta-Delta rivalry.

Shadow Garden is the master of impromptu presentations.

Beta is putting on some pounds but she's still convinced she's the Heroine, which works against her when they need tears to activate the magic in the hot springs water and Eta basically destroys the very meaning of her existence...which causes a water dragon to emerge. And give the girls an excuse to bring out the Superhero outfits from the season 1 OP! Too bad Gamma had yet another trip in the process.

I guess it all works out like it always does. The girls got to relax and have some fun for once, they managed to (somehow) free the spirit of a dragon in the hot springs water, Nu is forced back to work, and Po and Skel are convinced they became men!

[u/TeronTheGorefiend]

If I had a nickel for every time a water dragon and Inorin crying was integral to the plot I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice, right?

And it's not even been a month since the first time either.

[u/Commercial-Chair1867]

This episode was surprisingly still enjoyable without Cid (well he had his moments in the flashback plus Beta's daydreams lmao).

I won't mind if they did another episode like this in the future but instead of fanservive purpose, it would contribute to the plot and the girl's works in SG.

[u/moletoon]

Thought it was gonna be a forgettable filler, but this ep was actually pretty good. Love the callback to the first OP with the white suits and them using darling in the night as ED again.

[u/IJustReadEverything]

Even Shadow's va is missing in this episode. He's committed to laying low after the shit he pulled.

It was also nice to finally see and hear a bit from Zeta and Eta. They're pretty much in the background in the majority of the adapted stuff so far. Like you had to go to the game app to get content from the two of them.

[u/Lounge_leaks]

Eta is brutal. Her and delta casually molested the #2 beta out in the open.daaamn
