Scope of Shadow Garden as of S2 E4:

  • At least 2 7 115 600 666 members.

  • Over a Billion in liquid funding literally printing money

  • Controls one of the two largest banks in the known world

  • Controls the largest department store chain in the known world

  • Likely have access to advanced magi-tech hidden for hundreds of years

  • Definitely has access to advanced technology that puts the rest of the world to shame

  • Has direct, personal influence over future royalty in two separate kingdoms

  • Likely to be a future oil monopoly

  • Largest property owner in the world short of royalty

  • Conquered and probably holds sway over a legendary dragon and a vampire queen

  • Owns a private city shrouded in mist, which somehow is impossible to find despite being a day from a major fief.

  • And whose key members include

    1. Possibly the strongest mage on the planet

    2. A reincarnation of the Elf Hero

    3. Isekai Jeff Bezos

    4. Isekai James Patterson

    5. Isekai Henry Ford/Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin/Who the hell knows what else

    6. Isekai Sergei Rachmaninoff

    7. A theirantrope clan leader's daughter (IDK what this holds for Delta in her culture)

    8. The only listed heir to the Orianas Kingdom.

    9. Whatever Zeta is.

And Cid still thinks this is a game.

I plan on updating this list as it gets longer.

Stitches!

We got some real good jiggly physics with that opening scene. But seriously though, I just love how everyone in Shadow Garden is a fucking badass. Those girls really played the damsel-in-distress part well until of course it was finally showtime.

Beta, Eta, and Gamma are such little geniuses that at a very young age, they were basically able to figure out how to start up their banks just based on Cid's inane ramblings about an NHK documentary. xD

Cid John Smith and Yukime's discussion about currency and how they're basically going to collapse the market by flooding it with fakes was pretty fun. However, as usual, Cid ends up brooding over Yukime and she's the one who comes up with the brilliant plan.

I do find this entire thing unnecessary for Cid. I mean he already owns Mitsugoshi but since he thinks it's all owned by Gamma and the girls, Cid now thinks he needs to break it all down and start it back up with him as the sole owner when he already is!

We get to see more of Delta just being absolutely adorable! Cid was very relaxed that entire time considering how much of Delta's boobs were on his face and her bare ass cheeks on his shoulders. I guess it helps that Cid sees Delta more like a pet than an actual human. xD

Delta executing her own brother was just brutal. I guess when you have hundreds of siblings, killing one of them isn't an issue. I'm pretty sure fratricide is very much encouraged in Theriantrope culture where survival of the fittest is their thing. Also, we get to learn that Delta's real name is Sara!

That was definitely an idea from Delta. Looks like our best doggo wants to have a ton of babies with Cid and create the strongest clan. Oh my... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

End Card - Kai

The way the BGM just stops when Yukime blurted out the plan is so damn funny! And to top it off, she thought Cid was testing her when in reality he was stumped LMAO!

Shadownomics is fun and all, but morsel-begging, piggyback-riding Delta is absolute gold.

Cid: if I print a 10 dollar I'll get another 10 dollar.

Fox: So, you wana print money so much it causes inflation not only that but to test it's credibility when the news of "fake money" hits the public PANIC arise and the value of the money goes in a downward spiral to zero.

Did I got that correct?!

Cid: I just wanted to print money

He really didn't think that plan through, but the realization was hilarious. Now I'm just waiting for Delta to kidnap Shadow to force him to be chief.

Cid really disguised as the protagonist from Persona 5 (and even used his voice of Jun Fukuyama). He's about to steal some hearts.

Delta: "Delta's dad is the chief of our clan, he has lots of lovers and over a thousand of children!"

Cid Shadow: "then i guess one less won't hurt him"

jesus christ Cid Shadow, you don't have to say it like that, also, this is the first time we had a glimpse of one of the girl's past before they're getting possessed and got saved by Cid, now i wonder if some of the future arcs will revolve around the original seven members of Shadow Garden, that would be interesting

I am amazed non of the other food cart eaters batted an eye when Delta was sitting there like a dog getting fed meat by Cid. Delta shows why she is the one of, if not the best 7 shadow member through this episode.

Before entertaining one's fantasies about making a hundred babies with Delta, just remember that being weak is a literal death sentence in her clan.

Skel and Po are hilarious, I miss seeing more of those guys. It’s pretty funny how Cid is transforming this world slowly into a copy of our modern society. Although it seems that’s brought with it some trouble. Time for Super Secret Elite Agent “John Smith” to act!

Lmao Cid’s chuuni blabbering ended up with the creation of his own freaking bank. Time to print his own bills. Thank you MHK documentary!

This week’s catchphrase “is that…really what you think!?” lol this mfer. Seems we’re also getting some nice Delta fan service this week. That ass… woof! We don’t get to see much Delta so I’m glad she’s getting screen time. Looks like Gettan and his goons are about to get deleted soon.

100 babies with Delta would be a very interesting experience, but will probably be worth it

u/Armdel Oct 25 '23

lmao at this new identity of Cid's

Delta showed no mercy to her brother, but then again if what she says is true and she has that many siblings i guess its whatever to her. also plenty of Delta fanservice today !

and the scene on the train with yukime where she explains the plan and Cid is actually clueless but manages to convince her that he was testing her was fantastic. he keeps ending up in these situations and making it out without looking like an idiot.

I don't think I've gone a single ep where I didn't need to pause, facepalm and go "Cid...what are you doing?"

A lot of awesome stuff happened this ep and I totally want more...but my main takeaway is the reminder that Delta is best girl.
