@thieftheodore no. just say what happened
| @HagePotPotato Claire has a combination of possessed blood (which she already has) + vampire blood after Elizabeth bite her. This means means her body's physiology is closer to Aurora's than anyone else. Plus Claire being Shadow sister made Aurora want to save her |

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

| @utopica Both vampires and possessed share the same source: Diablos aka Aurora. Claire, being a descendant of the heroes, already had a strong influence of the blood of the possessed, which was stabilized by Сid, and after she was injected with the blood of the vampire progenitor, the two different branches resonated and she would most likely have died Aurora being an original in gratitude for her brother's help intervened and since the influence of her blood in Claire was beyond all imaginable limits, she was able to incarnate into her. |

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.
| @MegamiRem I expect she just wanted to mate er I mean meet with him... |

| I am recovery atomic. That was such an anti-climatic moment for me, even though it was supposed to be that way. Wasn't as epic as Aurora's failed one lol. I completely forgot about her, but she seems to be doing well. Claire got a new power which will bring her some trouble on her path, but she'll get used to it just like Shadow. Who is currently facing the fox in a train. The animation near the end was great, but everything before that were low quality cuts. |

| They handled the gold part really well Pacing seemed to be the best among the first 3 episodes as well |
| story mad as always, crazy haha. |

They cut/changed a bit from the source, but not bad. Feel like they probably needed another episode to cover this part properly, but they made it work well enough.
Not sure if everyone caught it, but Cid sees the ghouls, vampires, and the possessed stuff as nearly exactly the same as magic overload. He learned how to treat it when he was experimenting with the original 7 girls as a kid. He views it as a cheap trick, and not a threat.
I saw a couple comments so to clarify, Claire does not know who Shadow is. She does not suspect Cid. The really weird part is that Rose hasn't figured it out either. But honestly, the fact that Cid hasn't figured out that Shadow Garden isn't an elaborate theater trick, is even more ridiculous, so if you can accept that, then should this really bother you? Maybe, but that's both the joke and reason that anything happens, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
This next arc is pretty great. I'm fairly confident they'll be stopping at the end of it, and saving the next big arc for season 3.

| @Leaf_It it's because Cid got too strong that there's no difference between Cult and mere bandits. To him a real cult that rule the world from shadow should be as strong as him |

| The gold coin moment was hilarious. I kept smiling the whole time. This anime is so ridiculous, I love it. Edit: also at the end where Cid start thinking his sister is a chuuni as well lol. |
 |
| Damn, this episode went so hard. |
| With how it the fighting scenes got animated they weren't too bad in comparison to the manga. The ones in the manga did feel more epic. All in all pretty solid episode. |
| . |
| That post credits scene will probably be a marriage proposal, knowing Cid's unmatched rizz levels |
 |
| 'tis better than what I expected. Thought this episode would be the same as the manga but no, it's better. |
 (〜￣▽￣)〜 |
| Thank goodness you guys explained the Claire and Wtich of Calamity situation. I was so lost. I thought Claire got isekai'd back into the modern world. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

| @utopica Epic! It's scenes like this that make anime great. Slow it down, make it impactful to the viewers, continue. Very simple thing that many other shows are unfortunately lacking (Yeah, I'm looking at you Hametsu). I must give credit to Nexus on the job they did with this anime. They are not some top-tier studio, but even with obvious limitations, they know when and how to make important parts stand out. |
| Shadow being able to heal with atomic, Claire now having a cursed right arm that contains aurora, and more misunderstandings galore? I love this series. It just rides the rule of cool so well. |
 |
| Ah, it's nice to see Aurora back and I appreciate the explanations provided regarding her merging w/ Claire's body after she got stabbed and bit by the Blood Queen. Also, the brief scene in a modern day school nurse's office was surreal as I thought that Claire had really woken up (at this point maybe she really is alive and is in Cid's world when she's sleeping?) Anyways, seeing Beta all excited while Cid was trying to save his gold coins was hilarious, and so was Aurora's attempt to copy Shadow by trying to use the Atomic line. I'm curious what the fox lady wants to talk to Cid about but maybe it's a marriage proposal lol. |
| Aurora is back! I've missed her. I love how she tried to copy Cid's attack. Cid thinking that his sister is now a chuuni was hilarious. His stare when Claire tried to confide in him had me laughing. Looks like we are going to get more of the fox girl in the next arc. |

climax moment between Cid & Q.Eliz.. q.Eliz should cry at this moment |

| so claire got a side quest, huh. damn these episodes feel very long. |
 |
| Cid left at the wrong time, if he only stayed for a few moments, he might've found that "last boss" he was looking for lmao. Putting Claire in a high school setting in gym outfit is so random lmao. Funny how Aurora tried to mimic one of Cid's "cool" move lol, too bad she got interrupted. Beta became a cheerleader for Cid atm even when they weren't on the same page xD. Recovery atomic is sure a new one lol, still absurdly op as usual though. Also da post credits, will there be some sort of deal to be made? Tune in on the next episode lol. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Hilarious episode if you can read between the lines and have experience first-hand what Cid was talking about or even read about it, you would totally laugh hard about it, and somehow cringe, and lastly, have empathy... Finally, an EPIC episode! Beta was so hilarious. She was overreacting and I find it quite amusing and adorable. Claire transforming into... was such a twist. I like it. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see how Cid got his hands on the gold coins he took. It's actually one of the hilarious scenes but his monologues made it more than enough to replace it. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
Reply to RjRaj
did Shadow save the Vampire Queen or the last scene was from the Past?
| @9AinzOoalGown9 He saved her using his "recovery atomic". He basically explained it after the fight that he can easily recover ghouls, vampires, and the possessed using his power; however, there are some afflictions that he can't cured such as Claire's special power. |
