| Yikes, not only is Shadow busy dealing with problems in a night of red moon in Lawless City...but Mary and Claire too. Juggernaut is obviously no pushover. It's kinda impressive how the Lawless City gives a feeling of despair with the amount of criminal activities. Mary and Claire had some chemistry and it was amusing seeing the reaction of that kiss. Feels like this is just a taste of possibly bigger conflicts coming later this season. |

| It’s great to see this dude never stops uttering the same thing over and over again, despite the circumstances, despite the necessity of making formal dialogues with new characters and anything along those lines. I mean he just met mister juggernaut and miss fox spirit, and did not even try to put an effort towards properly introducing himself, apart from the usual i’m shadow thing lol. Though I do feel bad for that janitor, but it was his mistake, he jumped towards a motivated Cid when he was on his way to bag trunks of treasures from the crimson tower lol. By the way, since Claire is in some misunderstanding and is trying her utter best to meet back his “supposedly” captured brother with Mary, they met Beta on their way. Though that meeting might not be of much importance, we got a glimpse of Rose there, now no.666 within Shadow garden. Times are harsh over her, and so they were on Claire and Mary when they met the ruler of black tower, Juggernaut. Shadow’s impeccable entry while saving his sister Claire aside… yes aside, because we got something more surprising and shocking than that… THAT ALMOST KISS IN THE DISGUISE OF BLOOD SUCKING between Claire and Mary. Might be something scandalous, but that helped them lol. A sad backstory for Mary, but now we know who the real villain is. Also, Cid just violated one of the unwritten rules of anime medium… he fucking interrupted a villain in his monologue and kind of obliterated him too at that lmaooooooo, all while repeating the same dialogue. |
 |
| ME trying the hold my laughter when Shadow says something cool. man I can't |
 |
| So next episode is already the climax of this arc, and then I expect the rest of the season to cover just the next arc. It was good seeing Rose again, though she doesn't do much in this arc. |
 |
| I love how they keep reusing this frame with the glowing eye lol Btw Yukime talks in a really archaic Japanese like a geisha (same as Shalltear in Overlord) The OP is growing on me. Still waiting for the girl from episode 1 to show up again. Yuri! Nice. I already guessed that Mary is a vampire herself so this isn't a surprise. 19:32 What's up with this moment? I looked on various sites and it's the same everywhere. I wonder if it was the same in the Japanese broadcast. How did they get paintings from our world? Or is this just more Shadow Garden shenanigans? Wait... what? I guess the final boss is dead now lol. I don't mind how they keep reusing scenes, makes it seem like Cid is repeating the moves he thinks are badass. I guess the EDs will be sang by different Shadow Garden members this time too. This one was Lambda (she was with Rose when she first joined SG at the end of Season 1) |

| Bro just can't stop repeating those words lmao. Also did he just seriously I am atomic him from behind? Sheesh. Btw queen gonna be waifu for sure, Hayamin voicing her after all. Will she join Shadow? Hope so. Nice visuals in ending song btw. |
 |
| Cid one shoot and not waiting the enemy to finish his line LOL |
| bro, wtf was that ending. Cid broke his Shadow act just because he doubted the legitimacy of his dialogue😂😂😂 |

| Initially, the strategy to confront the Blood Queen involved deploying all of the Seven Shadows/Shades for battle. However, Shadow decided to take on the task himself. As a result, Beta led some SG members on an intelligence-gathering mission to ensure they weren't defying their lord. Oh my, that kiss between Claire and Mary. :) I appreciate how protective Cid was of Claire, swiftly trailing after her and swiftly dealing with the Juggernaut when it attacked her. |
 |
| Why did I even take this arc seriously LOL, I'd even let the reuse Atomic animation from S1 pass just because of how funny it was |
| Tyrant and Juggernaut saving their fight for another time, and no one is above Cid in terms of raw power and chadness. Both Claire and Mary making it into the Crimson Tower, but having to encounter Shadow Garden, they don't want to interrupt their way, especially when it comes to Cid. THeir only task to to get a Progenitor Vampire's blood, while Shadow deals with the Blood Queen. The Haven on the other hand, it's a secret topic to those in the know, and Mary will not pry this out for Claire to know. But the both of them encountering Juggernaut, they're not prepared for his fight, and he's prepared to rumble hs way through, and they are only saved thanks to him. Mary's kiss to Claire, she's a vampire protecting the interests of her people and basking her kin in the light of the sun to gain further benefits, that's for the greater good. But the reason for the Haven to exist is purely because of the Blood Queen Elisabeth herself, still within the confines of a vampire, and being taken over by Crimson and his men to use her for their gain once more under the Red Moon. All in the while that Cid is always ready for his next showing...and purely against Crimson, I Am Atomic was burst fast lols, one-shotted like a gigachad. |

| From a killer to a glorified guard dog thats quite the change. Beta sure ended up getting caught in quite the situation. Between Claire and Mary she can't beat either so staying out of each others way is the best solution. The reveal of the link between the possessed and the founding vampires though was pretty interesting stuff. Mary and her queen sure had it tough. Its sad that despite the queens wishes that she herself still suffered from the curse. Guess betrayals are something that exists in all societies regardless of race. Killing a villain when they're in mid speech is a welcome change indeed. |

| There is no way this bastard did what I think he did right? Did he just fucking obliterate the main antagonist during the ressurection phase while he was busy doing his evil monologue?! I can't with this dude lmao |

| @Mr__kitten just watch the gacha story on youtube. Kadokawa want you to consume all the media, that's why every kagejitsu media are slightly different |

| @JustAnotherShiro exactly why I love this series. He's in his own world. |
| good episode for sure The moon is red The frenzy has started Cid has really become a broken cassette player for the last two episodes. |
 |
| Mary didn't even notice that he was repeating her own words. |
| This show, I can't 😂 I love it 😭 |
| I don't know who I feel worse for, Juggernaut getting sparta kicked out of his epic battle or Crimson getting nuked before he could even start his! |
 |
| this was really a great episode |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| Funny how Claire shot down Mary when she asked about Cid, crazy how she's so possesive of him, and boy am I glad its not that kind of anime, ya'll know what um talking about |
 |
| The moment that Cid kicked Juggernaut out of the tower, that's when I knew the season is going to be peak again. That's exactly what I've been waiting for. Well, you also got the backstory of the vampires and Mary, even with some yuri shit mixed. But, it's great to get the feeling of season one again. He even fucking ended the battle before it began. Brother didn't hestitate to change the plot and just annihilated him off the earth lol. Oh right, we also got to see Rose. Hopefully, she'll get a better role. I wish the last part where he nuked Crimson was a bit more thrilling with the soundtrack. The bass boosts we got in S1. I fucking love Cid's dialogues though. |

I love how they keep reusing this frame with the glowing eye lol
Btw Yukime talks in a really archaic Japanese like a geisha (same as Shalltear in Overlord)
The OP is growing on me. Still waiting for the girl from episode 1 to show up again.
Yuri! Nice. I already guessed that Mary is a vampire herself so this isn't a surprise.
19:32 What's up with this moment? I looked on various sites and it's the same everywhere. I wonder if it was the same in the Japanese broadcast.
How did they get paintings from our world? Or is this just more Shadow Garden shenanigans?
Wait... what? I guess the final boss is dead now lol. I don't mind how they keep reusing scenes, makes it seem like Cid is repeating the moves he thinks are badass.
I guess the EDs will be sang by different Shadow Garden members this time too. This one was Lambda (she was with Rose when she first joined SG at the end of Season 1)

| @Embient Are you talking about the girl from season 1st episode? |
| Guess he just did a speed run of the boss fight by doing the atomic. Also, if we took a shot every time Cid says those lines, I think we'd genuinely be "out of time". Yuri fans stay winning as well. |
