Damn, Elisabeth really lives up to her reptuation as Blood Queen. The way she rised and immediately makes an imapct under the blood moon leaves a hell of an impression. I'd say that she's one of the toughest enemies the franchise has so far.

Cid had to go above and beyond to match against her in battle. The setting looked like a a literal hell. Hopefully Claire can recover mentally from this event.

Not the very best of days the duo of Claire and Mary have seen since the frenzy has begun. Much worse, when they found Elizabeth and Cid(from Claire’s POV), it became a disaster… Claire literally got piped from a now-awakened Elizabeth, despite the girls of shadow garden arriving just at the nick of time. Can’t blame Claire though, as she wasn’t the only one who got overwhelmed there…

… as Yukime and Juggernaut joined the fray as well, along with the girls of the shadow garden, only to get owned by Elizabeth. But hey, we know Claire is Shadow’s sister, so something was bound to happen to her while she was unconscious, and it happened… Aurora came into her subconscious and took over her body. Was fun and games until she was on the screen, genuinely, as we almost saw someone reciting their OWN VERSION of “I am atomic” lol.

Guess she was about to say, “witch”, but we’ll leave that… as the real thing came a moment later, Shadow himself, and like in the words of Beta, was protecting them lmaooo, when he was only trying to make sure the gold coins he stuffed within his dress won’t fall off. Anyways, he got serious and we got our trademark for the first time this season…

… “I AM RECOVERING ATOMIC”. The scenes were as epic as they always had been, though good thing queen went out in a fair way... after knowing the name of the being who obliterated her;)

Arc is over I guess, I mean they've returned peacefully to their places back, except Shadow, who's confronted by that spirit fox in the cliffhanger.

After Shadow's oblieration of Crimson, the Blood Queen Elisabeth comes alive, and Claire got dealt with by the string of her life, only to be saved by Shadow Garden. both Yukime and Juggernaut are not spared of the fun fighting against her as Alpha, Beta and Rose fight valiantly to take care of her. But as Claire loses her life, she is brought back to the real world to be explained by Aurora of the evolution between the Possessed and Progenitor Vampire, the fusion of human blood and vampire blood. Claire's revival as the Witch of Calamity, she's a real force to be reckoned with, and her interpretation of I Am Atomic, it's all for Shadow's moment as the star of the show.

Shadow fighting alone against Queen Elisabeth whilst everyone looks on, his swan song of I Am Recovering Atomic, it may not be as grand, but it at least signals the end of the ruse to the Lawless City. And while Claire recovers with the Witch's powers embedded within her, Cid's truth as Shadow will still remain hidden for now, and as they say: all's well that ends well...or is it, with Yukime confronting Shadow?

Volume 3 is over, by the 1st half, and it's still entertaining.

Holy shit he actually did something good lol

What an episode this was. Aurora is back and she really tried pulling of an I am atomic lmao. The action was intense, vampire queen strong but Aurora and Shadow stronger. Shadow actually went ahead and saved everyone involved, what a guy. Also they really made Claire into a chuuni lol. I'm pretty sure she knows Cid is Shadow. Now what does the fox nee san want with him.

The best episode so far of Season 2 for sure. The battle against Elisabeth was actually pretty epic, and there was a good focus on the girls of Shadow Garden, whom I feel have lacked screen time. Aurora trying to do "I am Atomic" was quite funny, we all know Cid is the only one who can pull that off. Then, Cid thinking that Claire was a chuuni because her left arm has "awakened" was hilarious as well. Now, on to the next conflict, likely with Yukime.

Elizabeth: Would you tell me your name?

Shadow: I am recovery atomic.

Elizabeth: Nice to meet you recovery atomic.

We got robbed of Aurora doing that line so I hope she gets to pull it off next time.

This episode was peak Beta moment and why she's best girl. It sounded like she was gonna confess her love but her cheers were good enough and she's completely oblivious to the fact that the thing that Shadow doesn't want to disappear isn't the girls but all the gold he looted. At least he got to take a sack home and he said he can always come back for more.

That went even better than I expected. At first i was afraid Shadow won't appear in the actual fight, but not only was he badass, we also got fangirling Beta! Got to see aurora too. And then chuuni misunderstanding about Claire lol. So much gold (both literal and figurative) in this episode. The one little thing I could complain about is that I'd like to see more direct aftermatch - how they parted ways with queen etc.

It’s a good episode but i hate the fact that they’re cutting out soooo much from the LN/Manga to fit the entire plot in a 23 minute episode. Even the fight scene suffered so many cuts/changes and is much better described and thrilling in writing that the episode just doesn’t do justice to it. Studio is outright changing scenes/lines/plot points to fit in more and more comedic elements and ruining the idea that “shadow” for the characters in the story is supposed to be intense, cool and edgy and not a goof except for us (the viewers) who “know” his real thoughts and self.

Well this was a really entertaining episode.
It was nice seeing Aurora again and that she is possessing Claire body in order to stabilize it and survive at the same time.
Is really funny how Cid thinks that Claire is delusional when she is actually serious as opposed to him, who is just living out his fantasies.

The queen and Beta and her troops sure made dramatic entrances. The battle against the queen though sure escalated quite wildly. Being able to enhance oneself using the blood of your enemies though really sounds handy. Aurora's dual with the queen was on another level entirely. But it was Shadow's fight with the queen though that was epic. Overall a pretty fun ep that featured not only top notch action but also quite a lot of expansion on Claire and Aurora as well. Looks like the queen and Mary are back to their old roles now but im glad that they survived. Curious at what the fox has to say though.

This episode was as amazing as ever.

We got to know more about Claire and Aurora is back and take over Claire's body.
my guess is Claire was the reincarnation of Aurora, that's the reason why Clarie had some marking on her left hand, or Aurora just helping her because she was his, just wanting to return his favour for releasing her from the sanctuary.

Aurora put up a good fight against the Blood Queen by dominating her power with her original power.
It seems that these Possessed, Vampire and Ghoul are from Aurora's bloodline, which explains why she was able to use the vampire attack when she was fighting Shadow using magical blood.

It was funny that Aurora tried to imitate Shadow by saying "I...AM THE...ALL" and Beta's scared face was funny to watch. The reason she couldn't do it was because Claire's body couldn't handle that much magical, and Shadow was the only one who could handle that much magical energy in his body in addition to the magic absorber.

Then we saw Shadow's epic entrance which he always wanted to do, to face the final boss fight. Mary was amazed by Shadow dominating Elisabeth, and we know why because Shadow was angry that she was destroying all of his gold coins.

The episode with Shadow curing everyone with "I AM RECOVERY ATOMIC" because to him Possessed, Vampire and Ghoul are nothing but magic overload and to him curing it was a piece of cake.

In the post-credit scene, we got to see Shadow and Yukime have a meet.

The BGM playing as he declares that he will plunder the Lawless City when he needs to; I literally can't.

Also, "I am Recovery Atomic" is just not it. Doesn't hit the same as the OG Atomic.

The most unsatisfying ED ever.... They left so many blanks there.... Whoever animate the ED needs to learn about the rolling tech....

On more serious note though, Alpha is still my no.1, but this EP just reminded me why Aurora was always my close no.2 .

On another note, my previous prediction was wrong. It was only EP 3 and we already finished the Lawless City-arc. Which means next is
. For 12 EP season 2, this would means we'll get to
this season.

PS:
O yeah, I remember laughing when Cid mistook Claire for being a chuuni in the manga, like in this EP. I loved that joke, how did I not remember that part until this EP?

Peak isekai and best vampire arc of all time

The arc even though it took place in a fantasy town it mirrored perfectly romania, the amount of wallets Cid held at the end prove it, great animation and fights, yuri it had everything needed its by far the best vampire arc in anime history.
