It's genuinely just a habit of CId to imagine the fastest possible way to kill his opponents (Cid used to do this a lot with Claire as a child). It's an observed psychological effect that your body often moves a bit when you imagine yourself doing certain activities, Iris is talented enough to see through these movements, but nowhere near his level to actually go against him which makes her hallucinate death at every move. It explains perfectly why he's surprised that Iris would go all in on one move as opposed to a more drawn-out dramatic fight. Cid didn't understand the skill level of his opponent, so he was a bit disappointed.
The look of sheer horror she gives in the end, is partly because she realises that Cid was genuinely disappointed at how weak she was as an opponent, compared to what he expected.

I love how the thing is, if she wasn't as strong as she was, if she didn't have the training she did, she wouldn't sense the kind of killer intent he has.
Thats exactly correct only annerose even came close to seeing mundane as he was which is how she actually got him to draw his sword. Poor Iris was literally a victime of her own skill instincts and training
@@catsi563 annerose can just fell something aint right, iriz on the other hand can visualize/predict the whole scene but doesnt have the strenght to counter it.
@@MrAatami Nope, Claire cannot visualize it like Iris. The scene you seen from episode 2 is from Cid pov same with how we saw the fight between Jimina and Iris is from Iris pov. Claire can just felt something aint right.
It's not that Iris is weak, it's that that is just how insanely op Cid is. Iris is strong and talented enough to sense how dangerous HE is, but not strong enough to be able to do anything about it.
meh superpower nonsense. Shit writing for weebs who cannot acomplish anything in life and getting aroused by idea of being OP via this character at least once in their lives.
@@prabhakarraj6644 Iris is (for now) the strongest natural human in the entire series. Everyone in Shadow Garden are women who suffered the experimentations of the devil cult, which gives them a special power up. Iris, without experiments or anything like that, enjoys that power, she is the greatest prodigy by nature among humans, (Cid doesn't count because that guy already transcends everything lol)
Yeah but yoi realize you can't escape the fight because you saved right before fight and thus comes the endless cycle of trying and trying again to beat the boss and failing miserably because you stats are trash😂
@Vary180 you misunderstand. I'm not arguing what exactly cracked the sword. I'm saying that the cracked sword represents how her pride and confidence are cracked after Shadow defeats her so easily. I mean, the argument can be made in order to restore her confidence and pride. She joined the battle alongside Iris. But then when Shadow defeats both of them so easily. Her pride and confidence crumble completely as well
Do you realize he could have chopped off her head right in the beginning? Iris wasn't hallucinating, it was her instinct telling her what was going to happen. It didn't happen out of the respect Cid has for ants.
I'm so sad he revealed himself as Shadow. i would love to see Iris thinking over and over who Mundane Man is. Everyone trying to understand who's that mysterious man
Then trying to find him in order to get him to fight Shadow and Shadow Garden thinking he is the only one who can stand up to them? Mundane catches wind of this, accepts, and spends an entire season setting up a perfect conflict while working as a secret double agent - and at the cusp of it all only THEN reveal that he was shadow all along, entrapping everyone in his net of despair and awe? Actually sounds exactly like something Cid would do XD
Lmao just disrespectful like imagine talking alot of shit about someone being strong but not on your lvl just to step in the ring and then they put the fear of god in you by showing you your death multiple times
I like this scene, because you can interpret it however you want. Is it his sheer power that causes these illusions? Is it a power he is using? If he's using a power, which is it, and how? All it does is hint at the idea he may be doing more than having the intent to kill and using some sort of skill/power, but it's hard to say. I prefer it over some bullshit anime logic, like some of the stuff that comes from Baki.
The coolest interpretation is that he's not doing anything, she can just literally sense, with her experience as a swordsman, just how easily he can cut her up
Iris is full of herself, i kinda feel the young me inside her Like "i'm a genius" and "if i try my best, i can do it properly", vvv And life beat the hell out of me like cid do to iris
I can somewhat relate to that but for me it was a bit different. I grew up with people calling me a genius ( for a rather trivial reason in my opinion) and then with time, I proved to everyone that I wasn't and boy... the consequences and punishments that I received for not being one... yikes XD It's kinda f*cked to grow up in a family like that. Edit: I never really viewed myself as a genius and if anything, the things that I was decently good at, was all because of me working hard at them. Life can be quite a b*tch. XD Editnr2: In my family tree... everyone aside from me thus far, is good at something. Exceptionally good, I dare say. But the reason I was called a genius amongst them was because when I was barely 3 years old, I solved a mysterious puzzle that my family and relatives couldn't for weeks. I did that in 5 seconds or so every time they gave it to me apparently.
@@eZeero This could happened when you unintentionally be more outstanding in your own clan. Mostly the Asian culture was like this. If your family notice something that they can be proud of then they will tell your other relatives what are your special skills, knowledge, abilities that normal people can do, etc. Then the clan would assume and increased their expectations that you will have a better life than them. That you could possibly make your life and live at the top. And here's LIFE tryna f*ck everythings up. 😅 You'll going to face the things that you'll never imagined that could happend to you. So expect the unexpected. 😂 Be careful because sometimes you may lose your confidence. That's the only key to face those shits in life. 😂
Up till now, I'm not entirely sure whether Shadow was actually reaching her in superspeed mode and feinting a real cut like how he did to his sister in the earlier episodes or whether Iris' spidey senses were tingling
he didn't cut Claire just like with Iris, he visualized ways on how he could end the fight in the quickest way possible Claire sensed those (tho not as vivid as Iris) and learned from Cid Iris however straight up hallucinated and felt the scenario because that's just how strong she is
*He NEVER attack his sister, nor Iris.* Those are just imagination which caused unconscious muscle movements, or mannerism. _Strong people are capable of sensing thoughts by deciphering small movements._
His skills and ability are beyond impressive and his killing intent is nothing to scoff at. That being said,… Mundane Man, what kinda halfassed incognito name is that 🤣
This what happening when your subordinates lick your ass by telling you are strongest. Sooner or later, for your surprise, you will face someone more skilled and in worst case scenario die.
Always found it funny how shes so determined to be the strongest the represent her kingdom so well, but in reality is not much more than a side note. I feel bad, but also feel that she should stop lying to herself
1:03 Shadow genuinely disappointed there, thinking that surely she couldn't be THIS weak and was hoping for at least a little bit more spectacle in the final battle.
I think Cid’s Mundane Mann facade might actually be his scariest 😅 instead of his flamboyant LARPing self, there’s just this… cold emptiness. You’re not beneath him, you’re just not even there.
When he says "we're just getting started " the look on her face saying but ive been giving it my all from the start By the way he also gave her the reverse uno on her and finished her off in one hit 😂
