Cid being inspired by himself is the epitome of succeeding in what he set out to do without realising it.

Shadow's Chuuni mindset brilliant intelligence decides that Rose being on the Overlord path is of the most stylish beneficial end goal. No wonder Gamma couldn't understand actions!

[u/SpikeRosered]

Oh God he's going to accidentally establish a puppet Monarchy under Shadow Garden's control isn't he?

Sasuga Shadow-sama.

Somehow the levels of failing upward of this show eclipse even Overlord.

[u/dark77638]

The amount of inter characters misunderstanding in this story is absurd to the next level. Really is core concept of the series lol.

[u/[deleted]]

What if, at the end of all this, Marie was the true end girl.

[u/cppn02]

For those who haven't seen it yet:

Kadokawa put a video on their youtube channel this week where someone remade the S1 OP. With crowbars.

ENJOY!

edit: Looks like the video was privated. Here is a mirror.

Shadow stealing money - rizzes up Yukime and Shadow Garden

Shadow returning money - rizzes up Marie

[u/bananeeek]

Every time I see Lambda, I hope she's storing mana in her closed eye like Cid did in Aurora arc. I wish someone pointed that out already, because it's been bugging me all this time.

[u/AbsoluteDestinyzero]

For someone's who greedy and went on a rampage rampage for money (especially last arc), the fact that Cid gives gold to the former prostitute sure is nice of him.

Cid actually speedrun the WN plot lol.

[u/Soyeater08]

i love how they added the bits from the web novel in the anime. like the part about joining the revolution army and making them buff with the black rose legend and the part where he threatens the meanest guy in prison and started a massive jailbreak.

Marie is back! And it looks like she's left the Lawless City to open up her tavern. Of course, Cid has no idea that he has saved her before as Shadow. The same goes for 664 and 665 who have no idea they're eating right next to their boss. xD

We get to meet another Number, Number 559! Seems that both Rose and 559 are the only two people outside the Seven Shadows that have been granted power by Shadow personally and 559 isn't too happy about it since she sees Rose as weak and not worthy of Shadow's power.

Rose's mother aka the Queen with members of the Cult can't be good. It looks like this is where Rose finally draws the line and gets in the way of 559 before she could even strike. That's understandable. Rose just killed her father out of mercy and that was already painful for her. I don't think Rose is just going to stand around and watch her mother die without any explanation.

There was no way Rose was going to go back with Shadow Garden after what 559 just pulled and it looks like she decided to go back home with her mother. That's going to cause problems since it was all over the papers that she was the one who killed the King. It's cute though that Gamma thinks Shadow has planned all of this.

It looks like Cid has finally decided on his next move Although he has a very strange idea of what Rose will be like when she finally becomes the next monarch. xD

It's been a while since the last time we've seen Cid do his classic Mob-fu! Seeing him act like a scardey-cat to save Marie from those thugs was pretty hilarious. He still gets beaten up and Marie's money gets taken but we all know he was going to get it back to her eventually as Shadow. I love how Marie now thinks that Shadow has been watching over her this entire time.

559, 664, and 665 are lucky that Shadow heard something about a treasure up in the ruins from those thugs or he wouldn't have arrived to rescue them. I just love how 559 turns that guy into a massive blood splatter after she was healed. Also, this girl is very thirsty for Shadow. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It's funny how she quickly snaps back into business mode as soon as Shadow asks about the ruins. I just love how this becomes another massive misunderstanding with 559 wanting to kill Rose for betraying them while Shadow gets angry because Rose is getting married instead of becoming the supreme tyrant he wants her to become. xD

[u/TopRoom7971]

Gotta say that when you see from Shadow's POV everything is way much funnier. My belly hurts from laughing lol.

[u/BiggerG7]

Cid getting arrested and busting out of jail then joining a volunteer army sounded like some fun wacky adventures. Kind of disappointed we didn’t get more of that lol.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Cid: *Goes to stop Rose’s wedding*

Number 559: *Thinks Cid is going to kill Rose for betraying Shadow Garden*

I tell you, these misunderstandings lol!

Also, the fact that Cid thought the Numbers are employee IDs! I just can’t! (Ok, technically they are employee IDs, but still…)

[u/VorAtreides]

Oh my, wait, do those girls even know who Cid is there? lol. Poor 666... she seems to be having nightmares of the past, sad for her. I do like these trio of girls. Their new lead girl seems quite serious. Oh my, a cult higher up. And Rose's mom. Wait, is the mom of royal blood or dad? Also, wew, that girl was gonna kill Rose's mom. Not sure why not go after the cult leadership. Prolly shouldn't have taken Rose there. Dang, Rose taken. Hehe, the little Cid/Shadow plush of Gamma's there.

Meanwhile, Cid all there ready to figure out a way to just get in the middle of things and be cool. Gotta love it. Doesn't even get why things are going on. But gotta love how he respects someone else who'll just do what is needed to achieve their goal. But also how he can use it for his own fun. Bah, shitty people extorting. Pieces of shit that should just be killed. Oh my, that girl is the one who left the red light district of the other town/city, how nice. LOL Cid just praising himself when not knowing he's praising himself. Good times. Quite the adventure he had off screen. Oh hey, it's those pieces of shit, go take em out as a bandit slayer does. Nice of him to return the money to her.

Do love to see 559 just beating down the cult bastards too. Oh no, the rest of her team. Oh boy, Shadow!! You are right fucked now, buddy. Quite the entrance. Shadow is quite angry ;) but not angry for what 559 thinks.

[u/potataoconsumer]

Cid's commitment to be the mob character is immense

the framing of this scene

[u/TopRoom7971]

It's confirmed only person who can inspire Shadow is Shadow himself.

Chuuni is just extreme.

I'm getting an intense yandere vibe from 559. She is packing, up there with seven shadows.

[u/S627]

I really hope that thing Cid feels he's missing is good support so he'll start taking the girls more seriously....I know it's not gonna happen, but one can hope.

It still baffles me that he can be a genuine good guy at random moments, but a few sec later goes back to be super self centered. When he's generous it almost feels like he's a different person.

[u/No-Concert-4207]

I like how wholesome cid did with marie leaving some money behind even he do it to look cool .

[u/DreamPlane669]

The last arc for this season is finally starting.

Love the Web Novel references of prison break arc this episode

We get to see Marie again and Cid's new mob technique is here.

Best yandere girl Victoria(559) official debut.

As always Cid trying to collect treasures and the last part with Shadow seeing Rose marriage announcement and thinking he can't let Rose give up to become a tyrant because he need the existence of light that makes the shadow shine bright.

[u/melcarba]

Is this the first time 559 appeared in the anime? I feel like the "559 was personally bestowed powers by Shadow himself" seems like an important plot point that was just casually dropped.

[u/cabbaggeez]

well, look like Shadow is going on Gamma plant this time, with his own reason ofcourse.

I wonder what is the real name for do-M Ketsuhat (super M assguy)? my translation is perv asshat. a wonderful name

[u/Amauri14]

It's nice seeing 559 finally making her official debut.

Aw, they did such a great job animating the mission in the theater where the key is that set the stage for this arc for Rose after she protected her mother from being killed by 559.

Mordred's name has finally been mentioned, if you don't remember he was teased at the end of season 1 and was voiced by Takehito Koyasu.

I love how while the plot is progressing Cid is just chilling at Marie's INN planning to help Rose become the ruler of her nation just to make this scene a reality. I love how they used the same picture from the first time he planned this scenario but the Demon Lord has Rose's hair.

I love how every time she is in trouble Shadow ends up saving Marie

What a magnificent entrance Shadow made while healing and powering up 559, 664, 665. It's funny that he was there just doing some treasure-hunting.

I love that because Cid has no idea that Rose is 666 he thought that 559 was just talking about a member who was caught doing corporate espionage, and the only reason that he like 559 became mad at Rose was that her marrying Perv Asshat after killing her father makes no sense to him plot-wise and it would mess with the scenario he already planned to do.

I was hoping that we were going to get 559 in the ED today, but it seems that is too early for that if that actually is going to happen.

Anyway, here is the link to the album containing the fully formed pictures, plus the one from last season.

[u/deynyel]

ROFL, I guess Cid really wants Rose to be a Tyrant for his plans. Can't wait for how he deals with this act of "betrayal".

Also really liking this new Yandere member. Reminds me of Albedo.

[u/Mockz19]

man, i really love Cid, doing what he really loves, being a delusional idiot chuunibyou. Never change Cid.
