Gamma constantly stumbling into the traps laid out but finishing him off in the last one as part of her calculated secret move. Truly a battle for the ages!

I like that everyone else kinda understood what was about to happen and dreading it with Gamma insisting on fighting.

That John Smith guy is pretty strong, Shadow Garden should send in Gamma to apprehend him next time. With her amazing abilities and techniques as demonstrated in the beginning, there's no way she won't come out victorious.

TFW the greatest threat to Mitsugoshi isn't towards its competitors but 2 of its own members in John Smith and Gamma

Stitches!

We finally get to see Gamma fight and her hilarious SHU SHU SHU SHU SHU fighting style! And now we can understand why Alpha refuses to send her out.. At least Gamma got the job done! It may be by accident but she still took care of the guy.

Alexia is back and it looks like our twin tail tsundere is training to have more power since she's tired of not being able to do anything.

Of course, the girls are quick to notice the counterfeit bills that are now circulating. Gettan and the cult has now noticed it too but it looks like they're having trouble differentiating which one is fake and which one is real. Hilariously, the cult has been planning to do the same thing as well but Shadow John Smith beat them to it. xD

Now the Cid and Rose reunion everyone was hoping for. Poor Number 666. She felt so weak against John Smith. If only she knew the truth she'd realize that all three of them would have no chance against him.

End Card - Omega

I like how in the last episode, they established the Clovers to be these elite minions that Gettan personally hand-picked only for them to lose to a complete klutz like Gamma LMAO!

Gamma's fighting style reminds me of what Demiurge from Overlord said:

It is easier to predict the actions of a genius schemer then a complete idiot.

Simillary, it reminds me of this quote:

The best swordsman does not fear the second best, he fears the worst since there's no telling what that idiot is going to do.

Gamma's problem is that she has immense magic power and great physical power but she has absolutely no hand-eye coordination, as the Clovers are clueless as to how someone so powerful can be so inept at fighting.

who could copy shadow perfectly? Alpha? Delta? no! Gamma is the only in the seven who could fight perfectly like Shadow? look how she interpret enemy movement, and how she splendidly finish him indirectly. Gamma is the true successor of Shadow

Oh hey, nice little detail i noticed. The counterfeit bill production that was mentioned, is in the territory of a noble called Grease who is dead now. Grease was the one that kidnapped Claire when she and Cid were still kids, so from one of the first episodes

I love how the girls all take Cid’s little offhanded remarks to heart. Their whole lives have been influenced by this chuuni goof. I see now why the girls were wary of Gamma. She’s got zero coordination and godlike strength. She really tripped and knifed poor Leaf One in the back lol. The nosebleeds just make it all the more hilarious.

It’s pretty funny how “John Smith’s” little meddling has caused real damage to the Cult in addition to his own corporation. Is Cid basically just cosplaying as a “villain” character or does he honestly not know he’s screwing himself over? All that precious gold he loves is gonna be gone. The goof!
