| 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. |
 |
| i hope more episodes focus on girls as much as this one did |
  |
| 10/10 adaptation. Not just a school nurse Aurora, but also her atomic moment, damn I miss her. |
Reply to iDre4M
mhm 3 episodes and we are moving forward, fairly well made, tho probably missing some stuff compared to LN or whatever...
| @iDre4M I don't mind they speedran red moon arc, because it means next two arguably better arcs are getting more episodes |

| I don't really get the low blood pressure thing, can someone explain? Wait holy crap that's our world. And Aurora is here again! Beta: Shadow-sama~ Shadow: MY MONEY NOOOO Holy shit he actually did something good lol I ship it And he thinks that Claire is a chuuni lmao Nu sings the ED this time! I remember she was a new member of Shadow Garden in season 1. Kareshatsu 🙏 There's a scene after credits! This was a great episode! So much stuff happened. |

| The "low blood pressure" took me out 😭 |
| 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. |
| finally it came For LORD SHADOW gold coins is more priority than comrades. Season 1: I am Atomic Season 2:The moon is red The frenzy has begun There is little time left. 12:50 Aurora literally thought she can pull off I AM ATOMIC. Lol |
 |
| He was angry.....because his gold coins were being destroyed. Not because his sister was injured or his Shadow garden people injured, but gold coin. |
| Impossible to not enjoy this episode. It was really good. I’m a big fan since ep 1. |

| @HangyakuNo_Nikki yeah, since last 3 episodes his dialogue has been just 3 phrases |
| Aurora trying to do I am atomic was hilarious. Shadow was gangsta this episode. Surprised how quick everything was wrapped up. I’m curious how the story will proceed |
| So this concludes the first arc of volume 3, the post credit scene teases the next arc. |
 |
| It's slight different from the LN. But I get to see Aurora trying to be chuuni with Atomic, so I'm more than pleased. |
| 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. |

| That fight with the queen elisabeth was so nice wow and also how cid joined the battleground with his coolness. Looks claire has awaking powers but she has not under control with her body. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| 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. |
 |
| Damn as always Cid has no opponent to match him. Funny after everything of what happened, he at least got some gold coins. Not enough to hold him for life, but there's lawless city aka the piggy bank to support him financially lmao |
| aurora crumbsss lets go!!! she still so hot and her (almost) atomic, yeah best girl fr. beta was fangirling so hard, love her for that. fight vs elizabeth was cool asf and yukime will be FIENDING for john smi- Shadow forsure. |
| Did I forgot details of season 1 or how could Aurora suddely appeared in Claires body? Is there an explanation? Or just rule of cool?^^ This wide shot was crazy good, love how they slowed it down for a second before the fight continued  |
| Aurora came back, happy for that. Man I can't get enough of this show. Hyped for the next arc. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
