Gamma is putting in good work for Mitsugoshi and the company. Looks like they are doing well in recent times.

Even though the Red Moon conflict is over, they are building into something bigger again into this arc with Shadow again. Oh and Delta was priceless in this episode.

From dapper clothes to practically anything modern we see people of this world using could be credited to Cid and Shadow garden’s multi trade company, Mitsugoshi. And I guess this was partly the reason we saw many merchant companies of their world forming an alliance against Mitsugoshi to bring them down. Now that’s fine in itself, but the kind of approach Cid took to counter this problem was…

… something in itself lmaooo. Not only did he join hands with Yukime to bring down his very own, Mitsugoshi company to ground, but even decided to foil the schemes of alliance and the circulation of counterfeit money in the market, while at that… which in turn would trigger a market collapse, but as if he gives a fuck, because it sounded cool, so he has to do it lol.

Though Cid might continue to search for his gold coins which would help them to rise in the market later down the line, but we know his luck, so… anyways, Cid would do this all while maintaining a new identity… THE SUPER ELITE AGENT, John Smith.

Ignoring just how basic the name John Smith sounds to ears, it won’t be long until he faces the girls of shadow garden in that persona, or atleast I want that to happen sooner.

Also, please more of Delta's piggy back rides( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)

New arc time!

JOHN SMITH
The scene in the train gotta be the finniest so far this season. The dramatic sounds, the visuals lmaoooo. Is that really...what you think?
And is it just me or Yukime is much cuter than usual this episode?
I actually hoped that Delta would spare her brother. Oh well.

Singing the ED this time is Kai (or Greek Χ (chi))!
Really good episode!

This was a great episode of Eminence in Economy 101. Our protagonist John Smith bluffs Yukime into figuring out a plan of action for him and Delta shows no mercy not even to siblings. Man, Cid really loves to make stuff up on the fly!

Delta got most of the screen time together with shadow. The episode was slow and was mainly for setting up future events.

The interaction between Cid and Delta was fantastic, and it was worth the wait.

Yukime's sweaty face was funny to watch.

I think the leader of Major Corporate Alliance was Delta's father.

Epic episode! Especially Cid's new goal, and new persona.
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.

Was nice to see Cid hang out with Delta. Was missing the silly interactions Cid has with the girls like he did with Alexia back in season 1 and not as Shadow/etc. Though they shoulda added more detail to the fanservice shots of Delta. That rear shot looked so silly.

These thugs sure ended up threatening the wrong girls. The markets is another battlefield in the war against the cult huh. Nice to see foxy fox lady be involved in this arc too. The shadows really ended up replicating everything they learned from Cid in their convos right down to the bank and an economy. Delta's probaly the boldest of the shadows when it comes to interacting with Cid in that nothing fazes her. But in terms of pure combat ability she's quite unmatched in CC. Overall a fun ep that served well to lay down the foundations for the next arc in preparation for the war against the cult on the business front.

It was quite a surprise to see that Yukime had been scarred by a man, kind of makes me think about her in a different light.

Well, she's found her knight in shining armour with Cid, I hope she's around to see him avenge her.

Delta is just too funny, she truly is the cutest little killing machine of them all.

Okay, never in my entire life would I have thought to be taught the concepts behind credit, money, and the financial market in an anime, yet here we are now. Apparently Cid is more knowledgeable than what I originally perceived; man watches MHK documentaries and inadvertently tried to make counterfit banknotes. Very interesting nonetheless, but then again, I never would have expected for this to be talked about in a seinen anime. The more you know, I guess.

Side note: If anyone is wondering, I feel it's pretty obvious that the anime's currency, the Zeni, is based off of the Japanese Yen. Albeit with slight creative alterations, the Mitsugoshi Bank's 10,000 note is roughly similar to the soon-to-be-released Series F ¥10,000 note while the MCA's note is clearly the US$100 bill.

It’s been on my “To watch” list for some time now, so I haven’t gotten to it, plainly because seasonals have been clogging up my attention, but I’ll get to it eventually. Also, since Jun Fukuyama is in it, then I’ll probably be more inclined to watch it.

Pacing seems off this season. Would have been better as a 24 episode season like last time.

Still good just a shame.
