Annerose humbled real quick after that fight lol. 
Very entertaining tournament so far, I can't wait to see how Mundane Mann vs Iris goes. Both situations Cid fantasized about sound great and I'd be down for either.

How many times will Cid make her big sis angry... (lol) to the point of trying to kill him... 🤣🤣🤣
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.

cid's conversation with beatrixsu felt so Monogatari-ish, beautiful indeed. was also nice seeing him get strangled by his psycho, tsundere, brocon of a sister.

great ep as always. kinda sad we have only 2 weeks left...

I don’t know how ppl find their brother and sister relationship normal. She just assaults him all that time. You mentioned it was nice seeing him getting strangled but if it was Cid strangling her then it wouldn’t be called nice but rather it will be called creepy of him. It’s almost as if a guy assaulting a girl is creepy but a girl assaulting a guy is cute.

Claire is one scary yandere bro con. I don’t know how ppl find their relationship normal. All I see is her constantly assaulting Cid all the time and for some reason it seems nice. But if Cid was the one strangling Claire it would be called creepy in an instant. Other than that the Annerose vs Mundane Mann fight didn’t dissapoint. I can’t wait for the Iris fight.

Claire is really out for blood against Cid, and her last chance to him is to attend the Bushin Festival. With that yandere feeling, Cid cannot hide anymore.

The Bushin Festival finally comes around, and Cid's ticket to the VIP seats with the seat beside Iris, it can feel awkward trying to strike a balance for the background character. Predicting the winner would be too easy, for Annerose is a potential to win against the crowning Iris. But that one character who the others have in mind, Mundane Mann, is as what the others have surmised: perfectly average. However, the famous War Goddess Beatrix is also one to look out for, which Cid tries to ignore her the 2nd time after their brief encounter, still looking for Alpha.

Cid under the impression of Mundane Mann may not be eye-catching, but starting with Annerose, he's on a streak to victory, being stronger than what they've all seen from the last time, catching everyone off-guard. Next to face him is Iris, and Perv Asshat makes preparations to scout his origins before he could wreak any havoc, that could be even worse if he's affiliated with Shadow Garden. At the very least, Annerose admitted her defeat, and would like to face off against him another time.

How to finish the Bushin Festival, looks to be an easy plan for Cid as the Eminence in Shadow, and would be a lucky streak if it ends without issue...except without Alexia torturing him, that's for sure.

2 episodes left, how to wrap this all up?

Cid was really be choked out at the beginning lmao.

That exchange between Beatrix and Cid was... something lol. They traded borgors.

Couldn't hear what was going on during the scene where Hyoro was being dragged away, I was basically going "WHAAAAAT?? CAN YOu sAy THAT AGAIN??" lolol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Interesting bond that exists between brother and sister here. Beta sure left a nice gift for Alexia. Looks like Claire made a pretty good impression on Iris. The match between Cid and Annerose though was pretty high level. Against a normal oppponent Annerose would hav won easily but against Cid that match was damm close. Still take a lot of restraint to admit defeat so graciously and try to help the one that you lost to. Being offered a burger by the famed war god huh bet Iris didn't see that coming. Looking forward to seeing how Cid would fare against Iris.

There's just something off about Beatrix.

1) For someone whose searching for her long lost niece, she doesn't seem to concern about it.

2) Even if she and Alpha meet, what makes her think Alpha would ever come back after the former and the rest of her kind discarded her?

That ending. Cid is so dead XD.

I think Cid as Mundane Mann didn't hear a single thing Annerose said with Hyoro shouting in the background. His next fight against Iris will be interesting to see.

Did you literally create an account to showcase how poor your comprehension skills are?

You should drop the show because it will never be as painfully linear as you appear to require a show to be before you can understand it.

Okay so if my comprehension skills are poor explain me why nobody cares that he disintegrated
A whole hole in a city and explain to me why tf do other characters not realize that cid is shadow when he literally is staring at them face to face, like man he literally delated that area from the map and then somehow magically nobody gives a shit even the story doesnt give a shit

Mundane Mann prevails over Annerose. She cannot keep up with his speed. Mundane Mann the master of after image. This dude can move so swiftly that Yoruichi Shihouin would be proud lol.
Really like the wholesome exchange of hamburger between Cid and Beatrix. Beatrix is a cutie with an appetite. That amount of burgers she had in the bag is astronomical.
And damn. Cid's older sis, Claire about to kill him. What a yandere sister.  
Can't wait to see Mundane Mann vs Iris Midgar.

Claire and CID's moments are one of my top favorites. CID just cant win against her  xD

Liked the conversations with beatrix and annerose. Beatrix is showing the aloof personality, but wanna see her serious side soon. 
Iris is just too focused over the victory and trying to complete her plans. Rose still on her own trying to fight out of the mess with cid's memento. 

Lets see how the tournament progresses with mundane man, claire and iris now in the mix. 
Also speaking of claire, CID is getting another choking of his life most probably cause of missing out her match, too much sibling love between these two i tell you.
