Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Episode 20 Discussion

Everything's gotten messy hasn't it? Rose lost everything, Iris is mad at Shadow for some reason, Shadow Garden has just been labeled as a terrorist organization I think?, all while Cid is just living out his fantasy.

Wished Shadow would have said to Irish that she and Beatrix were the one who actually crushed the city during the fight instead of her blaming it on Shadow. He just defended himself Haha.
But what a marvelous ending on an already amazing series. Hope for a second season sooner than later.

I wasn't expecting the fight to not be the turning point in the narrative. It was badass don't get me wrong but seeing how Rose dedicated herself to Shadow Garden because of Shadow's help, regretting her choice to fall in love and settle for Cid is crazy. That was pent up emotional build up that was executed well and it felt emotional despite knowing that Cid and Shadow are the same person she will never realize. (From how the ending of the episode goes it appears that way) What an intense series.

@ST63LTH it is good anime, if u cannot like ignore then, u cannot force others to drop it

Edge lord antics but exactly what you would want from a show like this.

@BlaiseAuto this is good anime, if u donot like ignore then

What a fantastic way to end the Bunshin Festival and to end the season altogether! This is one incredible season finale!

We got an almost episode-long fight around the city between Iris and Beatrix vs Shadow, true to her fame, Beatrix was consistently calm and composed, dishing out her attacks against Shadow who is both unfazed yet exhilarated to act out his portrayal of the epitome of might. On the other hand, poor poor Iris was screaming all over the place, had to rely on an artifact to keep up and did not manage to land even a single blemish on Shadow at all. What a pathetic brat, and a sore loser at that. She could not come to accept her inferiority when facing an entity that she hopelessly believes to be incapable of such incomprehensible level of power. That gnawing self-pity that she so desperately tried to reject is the reason she acts like such a brat trying to even go as far as to sacrifice herself just so Beatrix could land a blow on Shadow...

Nevertheless, all is meaningless in the face of supremely ultimate, almighty and unparalleled attack!!! All of which was just a ruse to imprint the doom and destruction Shadow is capable of on the naive young mind of Iris. He who holds supremacy holds within his palms the option to wipe out Midgar out of existence, the entire capital is at the mercy of Shadow.
Unlike Alexia who has faced inferiority for all of her life and has begun to stop pitying herself, however for Iris, this is truly the first time she has faced such an utterly insurmountable obstacle in her life, she must've felt the despair of the century to be in a position with such high expectation yet be so completely inferior to Shadow. Cry and be frustrated you feeble lady, reflect and respect the power of the unknown.

The conscription of Rose Oriana into the folds of Shadow Garden is a nice way to transition from this season's finale to the 2nd season, we'll definitely see more of Shadow Garden's HQ; Alexandria along with Mitsugoshi Company's development on this isekai world and Perv Asshat's meddling in the next season, and as a farewell, Shadow himself is playing the Moonlight Sonata. A beautiful end to the season.

At times this show, Eminence in Shadow, was just downright bad. I don't like how Cid is so detached from reality and how he is so consumed by his chuunibyou fantasy to play himself as a side/character whilst his persona of Shadow serves no greater purpose other than roleplay satisfaction. I don't like the fact that we know very little of the 7 Shadows even though they're basically in every episode and I most definitely hate how Cid does not even have a total clue of Shadow Garden's expanse itself and that the Diablos Cult is in fact, real. All this might just be for a comedic factor but it took out the sense of seriousness from the story as a whole. I'd also much prefer that Shadow being the supreme ruler that he is, not only show his power but also his authority by actively communicating and commanding the Shadow Garden as opposed to leaving it all to Alpha.
Still, this ending was excellently executed so... It's time to move on...
