The finale was awesome!!! It was obvious how everything was going to turn out (Cid decimating everyone) but the way the show does what it does, is what makes the anime unique.

This was an incredible season!! So many arcs adapted(Yeah, I know just 3 arcs). Still, I had a blast watching this series (just Cid go about his everyday life playing NPC and protagonist).

Hopefully, we get a season 3 of this.

The 'Return to Earth' arc is just as good as any of the other arcs in this show!!! Can't wait to see it!!
@Joel77 we are getting a movie for it now

It can be concluded that once "I'm Atomic" can destroy a planet if the explosion radius can be seen at a distance of 3 planets at once.
@filqikusmawijaya

Bro that's more than just destroying a large planet, what the actual fuck 😭😭😭😭

So we prolly gonna miss xXxSilverhairedElfBabeXx.

(Nah man!! I dont wanna miss her)

I wonder how the movie will play out. these are some major changes, at the end of this episode.

Update: It was addressed in the KageJistu mini anime's 12th episode that nothing has been changed. The anime chose to make it look like it was changed. Thats a huge relief!!

Great!

I love it when they used the first season's OP for that ending scene. It takes me back. I need more... lmao
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.

The overpowered MC isekai to end all overpowered MC isekai. Our boy Cid cracked the code - well not really, he need some remedial classes to understand the basics, to switching between isekai at will! Not even Death has the strength to overpower the Will of Shadow.

It started out strong with the comedy and power struggles but slowly just became dull and lost its spark.. I mean he already said the atomic thing. and yea its like i'm just here for the trolling at this point, oh and yea I hope they do more fan service if more episodes in the new season.

The ending was way different than the manga, where beta was supposed to be in japan with cid but the ending totally makes it way more sick and doesnt leave it in a cliffhanger. Although i partially wished it left on cid and beta being in japan instead of the nostalgia hit but it's also good but i hope it doesnt change much or deviate much from the manga. This might be the hugest change/deviation from the manga in the anime so far as the battle between gettan and john smith did deviate alot from the manga but a whole arc being different goddamn.

i like how they changed only cid to go to Japan , because if beta comes with cid then she will learn the truth that the shadows knowledge is not his but different world, so they made it good by changing it, from my perspective, and the ending was epic, i never expected to see her not only that but cid going back to his world

Just like shadow to have prepared for Rag's revival beforehand. Epsilon and Beta mocking Mordred was damm funny. The reveal of the realms though was pretty insightful. So the black rose turned out to be a doubled edged sword huh in that it allowed the kingdom to repel the invasion but ended up drawing the cult to them. Ironic that Shadow unleashed a nuke to banish the darkness in the form of Mordred though. Nice to see Akane again after so long. Since ep1 of the first season i believe. Funny having shadow be the one that saves her both times. Overall an excellent finale that featured a great balance of both action and world expansion. Looks like we'll be getting a s3 as planned.

It was such a great episode, they also changed a lot compared to LN. They nerfed Mordred, sent Shadow to Japan by himself and added kidnappers back as cyborgs. I have such high hopes for the incoming movie that will probably cover Japan arc.

The Realms want equality: Japan in Earth got sun-dropped twice only, but Shadow dropped the sun thrice in the other world. Realms probably want Shadow to nuke the country again. I guess we'll know in the newly-announced movie.

I said, “Don’t touch that, it will take you back to your original world.”

But I knew he was going to touch it and that his original world would have magic now.

This show is so predictable.

[ note: I’ve never read the written material ]
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Bro got reverse isekai'd back to earth. Anyways overall this season was pretty good but slightly worse than the first because of how disconnected the arcs felt from each other. I still enjoyed it nonetheless

One hell of a season, overall the arcs in this season were top notch, although I would have liked it to be 20 to 24 episodes like last season we only got 12 which is still pretty good.
The last episode did feel a bit rushed I didn’t even show that Beta got sucked into the black hole giving even more suspense for the next arc. The fight against ragnarok was good but then the follow up with Mordred did feel a bit for to be desired, however when shadow said “I’M ATOMIC” it did make one hell of a scene. Just goes to show how powerful Shadow is.
I cannot wait for the movie which has been already been confirmed which will cover the rest of Vol 4 “Return to Earth Arc” of the Light novel. Although we haven’t gotten an idea when it will come out, I’ll expect it will come out near the end of 2024 just how they finished the season 1 at the beginning of 2023 and then followed it with season 2 dropping in the end of 2023.

We know things are bound to get super serious when they skip opening, and I mean how couldn’t that be, we literally had the epitome of “evil” Ragnarok, going full bonkers against Shadow from the very first second of this episode.

Liked how it didn’t even take the rest of the shadow garden making it to the scene, with Beta joining the fray too. Rose came into her senses too and was doing great… until she saw how just Epsilon and Beta alone managed to beat the life out of Mordred lol, to the point where he literally STARTED EXPLAINING THE ORIGINS OF BLACK ROSE AND EVERYTHING RELATED OUT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL lmaooooooooo.

Appreciate the much needed exposition from Mordred though, like how Black rose connects this world to the other world or how the demonic realms they call are responsible for the appearance of these monsters or how Rose was just a simple offering from the start. She’s a sad cause, but so is Mordred, I mean his Ragnarok was simply taken out, and when he tried to attack Shadow in a transformed form…

… man had no chance then too smh. “I’M ATOMIC” happened like ever, I mean Cid didn’t explicitly use “AM” this time but okay this was still epic. Though to be honest, whatever transpired thereafter was even MOREEEEE EPIC.

We got a callback to that very first episode with Nishino Akane again going through those same things(?) she did back then, but of course there’s a twist, it isn’t exactly what we saw back then, as that last minute disaster back in their own world, has transported Cid to the earth.

It's not Cid but SHADOW this time who'll save Akane. THEY PLAYED THE FIRST OPENING AS THE ENDING CREDITS, and that was a hype sendoff.

A season 3 is a matter of when and not if, if we’re being honest here. Just hope it comes within a couple of years lol.

Movie already confirmed and out on MAL

"I AM ATOMIC".
Those last few scenes were absolutely beautiful where he saved Akane from Deku and that hand-to-hand combat sequence was amazing.
I'm not sure how I felt about the "finale" episode most of the part because it felt like it was just a story being told by Mordred who died a pathetic death in Shadow's hands. That was sick though how he kept punching him non-stop close to space and used his special move. This season had a lot of great arcs with many characters having their time to shine. But, it was the lack of quality and animation that made this season a bit less great as the first one where there is not a single thing I don't like.

Oh crude, Beta was too shocked by the light she forgor to grab onto shadow... what? There is a movie coming out??!!

edit: if there is one complaint is how they animated Beta this season. In Season 1 you can definitely pick her out even in her Shadow Garden cloak, but THE LAST DAMNED EPISODE, I have to do a double take on who is Epsilon and who is Beta because they definitely skimped out on detailing her face
