| I have to say, Cid is a clever guy using his other identity while executing his plans. It's clever and also lessens his risk. Oh and Gamma is amusing to watch, almost every time she's on screen including this episode. Alexia is also back and they seem to be building off of events from the previous episode into this arc. Kinda exciting honestly considering the more complicated elements. |
 |
| They’re so unfair to Gamma lol. She’s a sweet but clumsy girl, no need to doubt her capabilities that bad…:( Though, when you see her fighting one on one with someone, it’s kinda easy to guess why Alpha and others don’t trust her. I mean who gets a smack on their head from the opponent, TWICE, when just a second ago they announced themselves so proudly lmao. But Clovers or whoever they were, the “handpicked” goons of Gettan, so unlucky of them to get folded by someone like Gamma… though that was a fluke too. Still love to Gamma, and hey we got the first appearance of Alexia this season too. Her perception of Cid might not have changed a bit, but since this dude is playing the John Smith role right now, it again felt hilarious how he managed to convince Yukime about his wit… by actually doing nothing but putting on the usual act lmaooo. Now since the news of MCA’s counterfeit bills in circulation reached the ears of Alpha and co., the girls of the shadow garden investigating the cause were bound to happen. And when they did, they faced the dude with the most basic name ever… John Smith. Another L for Rose and her group, they just can’t stop getting themselves involved with the wrong people at the wrong time lol. |

| The comedy in this is so unique compared to most anime, I love it! But the story itself is good too. The one singing the ED this time is Omega! |
 |
| Lots of eh moments at the begining and the entire Gamma bit was hilarious. So she's just seventeen eh. She's OP but a real klutz and the nose bleeds lol. Great to see Alexia again, what was that smirk about though? The counterfeit bills plan is in motion. Both Alpha and the other guy is confused. Also lmao they actually made the fake bills higher quality. Kinda feel bad for Rose though. |
 |
| I hoped to see Cid's fight with some of the more important girls tbh. Gamma part was so good! We already knew she is clumsy, but to see her being bad at fighting and just winning by overwhelming stats was truly glorious. |
| Gamma's fighting style was so cute!! |
| Gamma as clumsy as ever. Alpha and Gamma meticulously plan to avoid any actions that could reveal Mitsugoshi's ties to Shadow Garden. It was Gamma who stepped forward to handle the situation, brimming with confidence despite Alpha's concerns. Meanwhile, John Smith has a scheme of his own. I find it amusing how the girls hang on to Cid's casual remarks. Their entire upbringing has been shaped by this eccentric goofball. It's clear now why the girls were cautious around Gamma. She lacks coordination but wields incredible strength. That mishap where she tripped and accidentally "knifed" poor Leaf One in the back was quite the spectacle, lol. The nosebleeds only added to the hilarity. |

| Such a hilarious episode with those "what" scenes... it's fascinating watching those scenes. I also get to see Alexia, even for a minute or two, with Cid. Then the best scene. The tentacle play wire trap. I get to see the three girls fighting their hardest to defeat someone but somehow, they didn't recognize their master. lmao Such a fun episode. |
| 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. |
| Gamma was my favorite of the shades from the first season and after this episode she is practically my untouchable #1! Alexia is back and her banter with cid is still as great as I remember. And that John Smith guy is something else! Can't wait to see his destined meeting with Shadow |
 |
| Fighting Gamma has to classify as a method of torture. She's so powerful but so clumsy that your better off fighting a steel wall! On the other hand John Smiths antics have become a ticking time bomb for the Cult and Shadow Garden. Poor Rose doesn't even know the truth behind who she went up against. |
 |
| To see gamma is trying to fight these intruders was so funny how she stumbled every time. Well John smith is too strong of course for those three. This was an amusing episode. |

every time i see that damn rudeus pfp i think to myself “i stg i better not see isekai ojisan as the only manga favorite” |

| John Smith trying to guess which one was the counterfeit had me dying man Cid is hilarious. Bro had sweat dripping down his face while guessing. The fact he’s running this whole scheme which is affecting his own subordinate’s business is comedic gold. It was good to see Gamma in action as well and of course always good to see best girl Rose. Her being so close to the guy she likes and not even knowing it is pretty sad. On the bright side she does seem to be adjusting to life in the shadow garden pretty well. Can’t wait for next episode, so far been a phenomenal adaptation |

| The irony that the true villain the girls are facing is actually their master though. Looks like a lot of Gamma is hard to believe even by her peers. Though she has the ability her combat ability leaves a lot to be desired. Nice to see Alexia again though after so long. The fight against Gettan though sure is pretty personal for Yukime. Rose really needs to learn how top open up to her team mates if she wants to be successful in her quest. Looks like this arc is starting to heat up. |

| Cid has so many identities, lol. |
| Bruh shadow being the antagonist within his own story line of a protagonist made this anime the goat. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

| John Smith about to destroy the economy. |

I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time understanding what is happening. All this economic motivated warfare is scrambling my brain.
| @Dan_ALves wait until you learn that real world economies actually multiple times worse that the one depicted here. At least EiS money is backed with real thing like gold |

| Nice, we got to see both Rose and Alexia in this episode, although both of their appearances were brief. If only Rose knew who she really was going up against. Anyways, John Smith's counterfeit plan is going through and it's funny to hear that the Cult had planned on doing something similar but got beat to the punch. I'm very curious to see how the girls will react if/when they find out who John Smith is... |
| Great ep. Love seeing Cid (John Smith) vs Shadow Garden. Keen for more of that 😍 Is it just me or does Cid in side character mode look a bit different this season? Also I love that Gamma is unintentionally OP XD how good |
 |
| Gamma with her Light Saber, i can't LMAO Of course there is a real John Smith lol |
 |
| Hm maybe get more serious? This is just a joke. But the fights are very good, wasted potential :/ |
