Cid did use his Atomic attack but instead of destroying the whole city he directed it to the sky. If you pay attention, before he uses it the sky was cloudy and raining while after he did the attack it was a clear sky.
@@sameer-up6yv In LN and Manga, Cid/Shadow just released a huge amount of Mana to the Sky. Plus, the fight wasn't that long either, it lasted only a few minutes and concluded inside the Stadium itself.
@@sameer-up6yv I know you guys want to get all anime, but sorry... when you say "Just for show" and you blast away the sky", that's for anime. No logic competes.
Something a lot of people forget is that English doesn’t exist in that world. So when cid says I Am Atomic everyone around him thinks he’s casting some terrifying ancient spell
The thing about Cid is that he doesn't even know the Cult is real. He is just having a blast roleplaying his dream character and thinks that all his group is playing his game out of consideration. So it is hilarious when he is saving everyone without even realizing.
I have a suspicion that this all is just his near-death delirium at the last moments of his life. I mean, this "world" seems to be a bit too well tuned for Cid even by isekai standards.
I loved this episode so much the way the animated him perception blitzing them was crazy literally couldn’t even see him move and the finale part when he started laughing and asked why he would be running I can only imagine the fear going through their minds after seeing that he easily had the power to destroy everything
@PoopSagots apparently they already showed the first episode last month at a anime expo. No one complained. I dont think they are doing the john smith arc that might be season 3.
Little easter egg, You can see Rose at 20:53 in her shadow garden suit in the first episode cool that there is small stuff that the animators included if you pay attention!
@@lordhandroShe is in episode 1 but for only a little bit, check out the time stamp in episode 1 that Reflera put and you’ll see Rose with her squad but we can only see her from the back
Important things cool to know about this episode: 1. Shadow, as some comments already pointed out, did in fact used the atomic blast. Shadow actually felt insulted when Iris said he was running away and for a second he really intended to blow away the whole kingdom. But the community has come to the agreement that the little Cid flashback we saw shows him saying "Yamero" which means "stop" and that's why he redirected the attack to the sky. 2. The credits for this episode show 666 instead of Rose for the cast members, cool easter egg. 3. The scene showing Sherry surrounded by Shadow wanted posters is actually anime only. 4. The anime director animated by himself the Iris black and white scene, this shows how much love was put into this anime. 5. S2 comes in october this year, HYPE!
You will notice Cid said "playtime is over" in ep 2 and 5 before he defeated the villains. So you know when he said it here, he was not kidding. About to atomic the sky lol.
In the original source, the Shadow wears a mask, and in moments when it is not, his face always seems to be covered by a shadow and the other characters cannot see it. But it was probably taken away for cinematography, so that the viewer could always see the face of the protagonist.
19:40 I love that scene, it shows perfectly that Alexia believes she can be that much strong cause she saw shadow fighting style is not that diffrent from her meanwhile Iris just got drowning in despair deeper and deeper cause of pressure she puts on herself to the point she's hypocrytical, cause most destruction around town was made by her.
25:24 First time i watched this, what may be the best anime season finale ever(based on fun+lore+character inclusion+quality animation+superb directing), I 100% took "....next time" to be a confirmation of a season 2. It just...only made sense. Then they announced it, and someone claimed that Eta was tapping out "To be continued" on that telegraph machine.... The Eminence in Shadow changed our anime world forever, if even just a wee bit.
I saw a comment on another video saying when Cid was about to Atomic the kingdom, the Younger Cid's lips didn't look like it said Atomic, but said Yamero (Japanese for Stop) making him think that Cid was about to Atomic the kingdom, but that will make him a Villain and not The Eminence In Shadow, so he just nuked the sky instead.
There is a reason why Shadow noted that the Artifact Blade was made of mythril. All materials have some degree of magical conductivity. Most don’t go past 10%. Mythril is sought after because it has 50% conductivity. There is one material better. Slimes have 99% conductivity. Basically, the use magic to hold themselves together. There have been attempts to make the useful for humans, but were written off as incompatible. Cid saw the report and disagreed with the results.
Regarding Orianna finding out about Cid, the ONLY ones who know about Shadow's identity are the "Named Shadows" Alpha, Beta etc etc Not even the rest in Shadow Garden should know that info as far as i can remember. And, as much as we can be happy about Iris "Barely-named-Sidecharacter" Midgard's humbling. She too dumb to realize that it was indeed a humbling that took place.
in 7:11 : he is moving but return to its original position like he did when he was fithing in her sister in episode 2.. this is what enemies feels like in the enemies vision..
Started binging your guy's reaction the day the 17 and 18 reaction dropped, been refreshing the page every now and then since. Glad it's finally out and I can't wait for S2!
The Royal Bushin style of swordplay is pretty new, compared to the more popular Bushinryu. Iris was hoping that with her victory in the tournament and the propagation of the art, she might’ve had more political pull. And, yes, Claire was declared the winner by default. Iris was in no mood to continue in the tournament and Mundane Mann/Shadow was disqualified.
they never saw the "Victoria easter egg". I don't blame them I missed it the first watch though too... and for the people who know... you know lol. I was in the military and learned morse code, so I immediately caught that easter egg. great show with the little details everywhere.
Bro the eminence in shadow episode 20 was mind blowning , super gorgeous smooth animation , iris / beatrix v.s shadow fight interesting , possible perv run way aka oriana kingdom arc , rose join shadow gaeden , probably future alexia join shadow harder or help shadow to destroy cult of diablos , beatrix searching her niece aka alpha / future elf arc reference and next arc lawless city arc with unexpected plot twist . I give this anime 8.7 out 10 rating .
He's just letting them know, he can blow up the whole capital after beating the 2 widely perceived strongest people and they could do nothing to stop him. Peak disrespect
Soo good, I really hope next season he fights someone really strong that can challenge him even if of course he whoops them in the end.. I just PRAY they have the same director and audio people because those two things elavated this from a good anime to a GREAT anime.. The direction and the soundtrack added soo much, especially the ASMR "Atomic".. And you guys finished it(or at least uploaded it) so close to when S2 is coming!
Ooh. It burns you to have come so close. To have the Artifact, (which you shamed and convinced yourself alpha and shadow were using btw) to have power, unlimited power. (not really just a good flame thrower,) And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. (literally a fire starter, if we were meant to believe Iris, the atomic Cid did earlier in the city was an artifact going haywire/blowing up artifacts sure better be better than what we saw) (all you had was the hope and dreams of those you held yourself above/better than, who you looked down upon) And then to be reminded what real power is.
I would really like to see your guys reaction to the anime "Magical Warfare" unfortunetly this anime don't have a second season but he really needs one.
Extra: Japanese language does not have a "d" ender like in English nor a C but rather they have a character pronounced like SHE and one like DO, so to say Cid they say Shido which sounds like Cido. The black feather falls on the piano between keys for the notes SI & DO.
I don't really think iris had ego or pride tbh, she just had too many responsibilities so can't blame her behaviour since she wanted to be strong for her people
Cid is the one who is clueless. This is all just a game to him. He doesn't realize there actually is a cult and isn't trying to fight the good fight, he is just having fun. The only reason he entered the tournament in the first place was so he could play the dark horse underdog. He stepped in because Rose stole his thunder and he wanted the attention back on him. The rest of Shadow Garden is fighting the good fight as they really do want to defeat the cult.
I think you guys have been missing the point that cid is just making things up, and role playing. He doesn't even know the cult exists, he just thought the gang is just playing along with him, which he appreciates. He makes stuff up and it turns out to be true is the funny part while he remains clueless.
20:19 I've seen other commenters respond that in this scene, he's not mouthing the word "atomic". He's actually mouthing "Yamero", and telling himself to stop. It's not easy to route for someone who would nuke and entire un-evacuated city. He had to remind himself not to do such an uncool thing.
The reason cid isn't going against the cult is the simple fact that he doesn't believe they exist as you see that he believes the girls are just putting on a show
i was on the cid was kinda a dick wagon until somone reminded me that she literlly let her guys torture cid for 5 days pretty much knowing he was innocent when alexia was kidnapped.
one thing that you should know is cid does not know anything he just wants to look good.....he is just lucky that he ends up in a sitation where his team thinks he is doing everything knowingly....but he made everything up basically like cult of diablos and it was actually true but he doesnt know that cause alpha does not tell him anthing saying he already know but little does she know he knows nothing he jus wants to look good as shadow.........
Cid did use his Atomic attack but instead of destroying the whole city he directed it to the sky. If you pay attention, before he uses it the sky was cloudy and raining while after he did the attack it was a clear sky.
Always surprised by how many people don't realize this. The girls even comment on how the sky is clear right afterwards.
In novel.he didn't tho..he just cancelled it but mana cleared the sky
It's really odd that so many Reactors missed that part.

Same with the names since we the viewers understand the word play but it completely goes over their heads in the show
Funniest shit I have heard
My assumption is Cid doesn't even need to say I Am Atomic to cast the spell, he just wants to sounds cool 😂
So to their ears, he might actually be saying Scoofa?
You mean the word Atomic as a concept not English.
The thing about Cid is that he doesn't even know the Cult is real. He is just having a blast roleplaying his dream character and thinks that all his group is playing his game out of consideration. So it is hilarious when he is saving everyone without even realizing.

Peak moments coming. And then we wait for the next season.
Cid is the built off of the saying "dont threaten me with a good time" 😂

Shadow (As a kid) vs the Mist dragon is actually covered in the game. There are videos about it on youtube if ya'll are interested.

After pulling massive holes into city's, u really can't blame them of thinking he's an villain
