This really shows how much he held back in the battle against Iris and Beatrix. There's a reason why her instincts are screaming at her to get away from this man at the slightest movement. A nanosecond would be all it takes for him to take her head, and Beatrix's shortly after. The only reason he doesn't is because he's not fighting them, he's playing with them like dolls.
Iris is the most vulnerable type against Shadow. She has good battle instinct, but doesn't have power to back that instinct up. It ended up clowning her judgement
@@nikel-ur right its their instinct that screams danger when theyre facing cid but his speed is another factor why they felt as if they were being cut, the mc has speed beyond human comprehension thats why they felt what they felt when they face him

@@داركماتر-ت1ط not exactly. Iris never thought she was undefeatable. She was under severe stress. First she lost a knight from crimson order, 2nd she isn't good in politics so couldn't do much for raising the funds for the order , she couldn't do anything with the church issue too. That's why she wanted to win to get more authority.
He actually does reveal himself later. (Spoiler) When Shadow-buffed Rose appear and kill her father, he reveal himself to Rose. I'm hopeful thats its in this episode since it's right after this scene.
My man trolling harder than Aizen. He literally pulled a "Since when were you under the impression that I wasn't using Kyoka Suigetsu" but with his sword.
She's strong, yet she's powerless and desperate and she knows it. And Cid is just out of this world powerful. Her fragile and desperate confidence got shattered on the spot. Too bad for her, truly. Also the all-in face tho, looks just like Alexia'. They really are sisters lol.
She has good intuition, but too much pride. She was pressured into fighting and chose not to listen to her survival instincts. Her technique, mana and knowledge of swordsmanship are great as well. She is not a leader, neither is she perceptive or diplomatic. Iris would be the greatest asset of a skilled commander, but right now she is too out of her depth.
Well, remember that recent events kinda forced her to act like this way, remember Alpha said she should stay out of the way of shadow garden, the next thing you know is seeing shadow's gigantic magic that she called was used with an "artifact". Then the school hostage taking and The sacred country part where she always get the word that shadow garden was involved and she thought she could stop the rampage along with the cult who she says "definately a bunch of rouge nobles and knights doing what they want". To make sure that the people won't forget and rely on her to to get the approval of the king, she needed a display of skill, and look what that got her now.
Her pride was totally crushed. What's more is that he didn't even see her as a competition. He's looking forward crossing blades with Beatrix than her.
She underestimate him over and over again, even when his Shadow she thought she can defeat him, her sister keep telling her about Shadow but didn't even listen she is absolutely soaked in her confidence.
She is so blind that she truly believe That no one can defeat she have denial Issues she afraid from reality she will never forget this battle will stack in her Mind
The first time I watched this made me feel scared for her. Everything is fun for Cid but to the other viewers of that world it is not. They all have something that makes them suffer yet there is someone who is terrifyingly powerful more than anyone they could think of and it doesn't even care for them.
well, Cid is mentally ill and i'm not talking about him being a chuuni, he's shown zero care for anybody else, he only sees people as video game characters for him to play with, he doesn't care if his actions lead to the suffering of millions of people, he'd probably unalive 10 billion people if he found it fun, you're actually the first person i've seen who see this side of Cid because everybody is like "oh wow! cid is soooo cool! he's so powerful and not being a goody two shoes is badass!" shit like that, the viewers are just as enamored with Cid as much as shadow garden is, at least the viewers who didn't drop it after the first few eps.
I personally felt that characters like Iris needed to be humbled once in a while. That righteousness and ego has gone over her head. Imagine if she was fighting Ainz, it would be more or less a Climb and Ainz fight (now granted that Iris is several times more powerful than Climb), but in the end, it won't change the outcome and it would have been more humiliating defeat if Ainz defeated her using perfect warrior.
I feel sorry for iris though. Since she is a princess and the leader of her order, she has expectation to fill in. Losing to mundane mann would mean that the people that she is trying to protect will lose faith in their country and it would make them feel vulnerable. That might be why she went berserk, that sense of anxiety.
i actually quite hate her, i mean, if Cid was an innocent normal man and wasn't Cid(Shadow), her knights tortured him for no reason and she couldn't even take the time to apologize properly. i mean, she's good friends with Claire but couldn't even contact Cid for an apology. so much for being friends with his sister. Just goes to show how much prideful and arrogant she really is/was.
@@caaltaes732 yeah but it also mean their strongest knight lose to a terrorist and even Iris are powerless against him. This pretty much destroyed everything Iris work hard for.
Nah from the moment cid 1st use atomic in middle of the city, it's already is enough reason for people to feel insecure. And with school terrorist accident, many kill by the order using shadow garden name, another explosion in holy ground, so on and so on. It's already shown that the kingdom is powerless against organizations that public think the reason for all terrorist (shadow garden). Shown that iris lose against shadow at this point doesn't really mean anything.
@@toseeupload8855 no, iris is stronger, it's the same as trying to evaluate characters from one punch man based off how much they lasted against saitama. He is holding back so much in this scene.
If you think about it cid destroyed his oppenents in the worst way for each one He made people belief that the buff dude fell over because he fainted He beat goldy while making himself look weak, somthing that goldy is famous for being able to see, and ruining goldys raputation He beat Quinton off screen and quik, so people wont remember him. While he was always introducing himself. He beat Annarose with pure skills and let her try everything she could and still fail. And he beat Iris while making her feel powerless and making everyone in the stands see her as weak. Iris has a reputaion of being the strongest, and there was nothing that she coulnt beat, until the shadow garden incidents, finily somthing where she should be able to have a good battle and she cant even do anything. This made her lose her mind. She even claimed that shadow must have been using an artifect.
I'd say Annerose is the exception tho. She was neither humiliated nor lost confidence in herself, if anything she was motivated to work harder and improve
With all of the events that came, Iris had is very rough even with Alexia's warnings as her group really have put her in so much pressure and stress. This was a very sad situation, Iris knew Mundane Mann was a dangerous opponent from his previous match but the overconfidence coupled with the stress had took it's tool on her and got destroyed by her opponent.
The backwards fall had me laughing when I first saw it. It usually goes get scared > jump backwards> still be afraid. Not get scared> AHHH FALL ROLL PANIC
Iris is strong and her battle instincts are excellent, that's why she can sense how dangerous he is. While everyone else thought he was weak, Iris saw absolute confidence in his eyes. People don't like her stubbornness and single minded nature, but she represents what people think is strong vs Shadow who is practically god-tier in that world.
nah, watch until she eventually faced Shadow with Beatrix in the next episode and see her began to have a mental breakdown when Cid decided to use his ultimate move (albeit it's just a trick)
Obviously she has some battle instincts and a keen sense of the opponents' movement just not to the extent of Beatrix. She's still lacking in martial arts and swordsmanship.
Everyone talking about how hype this episode was that we have forgotten that our man Imaatrynotloose have lost this time around after his long streak not not losing, mad respect to you dude, you certainly were a real one here, you did your best and I hope you get rewarded later.
This might be the best episode I've ever seen. In my opinion, this whole fight scene from the beginning of this to the end of the fight with Beatrix is in the top 10 fights in anime that I've seen, also the way it just takes up all of your attention and keeps you focused is just incredible. My favorite part is when he takes out the crowbars. I will be amazed if season two has a more intense attention taking action packed story filled episode.
the pressure of whole kingdom safety on your back, first time lake fish finding the ocean, in face of overwhelming power, got caught up in a invisible power struggle between two invisible overpowered grouped, considered one of the powerful in the kingdom and now finding helplessly overwhelmed and unable to protect anything and anyone, also respect and hope of people lying on your back is a lot of pressure (be strong and people will have respect and feel safe with the knights) , of course she is gonna break or she gonna dance around. comparing her to her sister , her sister do not have these responsibilities. also she believes in shadow is a good guy ish hero complex beatrix too don't have her responsibility, she is wandered. idk why people keeps hating on her. maybe cause they never had to bare responsibilities and keep up the act of being strong.
No one understands Iris? Girl has been given the pressure of being the kingdoms best, the person who’s supposed to protect everyone, and then she just gets folded like an omelet by Mundane who’s just a random nobody? The humiliation and guilt of having an expectation only to be a let down, especially for someone like Iris who has been built up her whole life to show her pride, I’d imagine would not run well with anyone.
Cid didnt even need to do this, he just wanted to torment her, i kind wish he made it more obvious the power difference for the audience to see, the audience didnt even know Iris was getting brutally hacked and slashed
In the anime i like the fact she gone berserk more than in the manga, it really shows how much her reputation gone to her head instead of actually giving up bc she acknowledged Jimina is much stronger than her And as Shadow he's gonna wreck her and Beatrix
Because she the leader of the order, basically a country asset for a protection, if she fall that easily, every foundation od their military nation it's also will shatter. It's basically like a message to everyone that your country military is powerless in the hand of the Terrorist.
Mundane Mann really just unsheated his sword at the last moment to end the duel not as a weapon but as a tool to determine the victory.. talk about savage
@@zeroxcqt2862 no, in the LN he's just making godly skilled micro movements. It tricks the gifted Iris into seeing her death and that he unsheathed his sword
I hope she doesn't feel like suicidal you know like love with herself and give up her ideals hope she moves on and make herself stronger. At the end it was like she had lost her mind.
feel bad for this princess, she is strong without a doubt thus this blind fools in her Kingdom put such a burden on her shoulder. At the end of the day, Chuuni still prevails
Man crushed her spirit and all he was worried about whole time was looking as low-key baller as possible. Emphasis on lowkey as he didn't want to fuck up the vibe.
The way I see it, he actually inflicted all those strikes and wounds, but he also repaired her quicker then humanly observable. (Same belief with his duels against his sister) and that it takes exceptionally skilled opponents who have honed their craft to the point of apex to be able to even qualify with being able to interpret such actions against them.
When Claire didn't find Cid in his seat, he better start running for his life or come up with a convincing explanation for this. When it comes to Claire's obsession with Cid, there's no stopping her, like that 1 time when Cid was being interrogated. It took several students, including Rose, to restrain her on the spot. And afterward, she's been detained in under a minute. (Remember that "Pain-In-The-Ass-O-Meter" in the manga?)
Claire is way stronger than what they let on. It is hinted she can take on Iris easily. Cid called her chūnibyō on various time claiming that she hid her true power and ability even to her brother.
I swear to god cid made jimina after binge watching naruto. Drops his weights like rock lee vs garra when he warns before, than puts Iris into literal genjutsu and chokes her like he's an itachi.
She is the only one strong enough and with instincts sharp enough to register the fact that if he moves, for even a nano second, she is dead. Everyone else are too weak to even notice.
The crazy part is, Shadow defeated Iris (the strongest dark knight in the kingdom) without using magic. That just shows how skilled Shadow truly is. He isn't OP b/c of stats or magic spells like other isekai protags. Even if Cid lost all ability to use magic, he is still strong as hell.
Plot twist - he is actually cutting her body parts but then again healing her so fast that no one can actually see him cut her, thats why she thought its a illusion .
Iris is built up to be this very strong and talented fighter but she is shown up and beaten so badly. It's specifically because of her exceptional instincts that she senses just how dangerous he really is and it's terrifying.
ah yes.. the infamous scene that started the entire "crumble". Never have I seen someone that portray a characters definition, way of life, and throught cumble so magnificently. A strong character that got over confident, desperate to feel her back is wide enough to people feeling safe. Her entire persona revolves around it, and being a strong character around absolute canon fodder made her think, she was at the peak of the chain, never needing to refine herself. Notice what her fightingstyle revolves around, extreme magical outputs and humoungous swings.. before the weapon shatters due to her overinfusing magic into the attack. She has literally made the ultimate glass canon build (in a sense). Her pride revolved around it. her comprehension when meeting someone stronger were, a shattering of the truth.. and only time will tell if her psyche can handle it or not. People have been feeding into her pride for way to long, it will be hard for a character like that to see her own faults, shortcomings and that, she can't do it all the way she is and have been.
still the only one that figured out exactly how strong Mundane Mann was just by looking at him, that speak volumes of her skills, she just got completely eclipsed
What really gets me is earlier she had dismissed Shadow's ability saying he must have used an artifact. Pretty much right after this scene though she tries to go after him with an artifact herself at the same time as Beatrix is fighting him. And then when they both lose she tries using her kingdom to threaten him. Absolutely no shame on top of her worthless pride.
I think iris hasn't got brains to contemplate shadow is not against kingdom. At point where she screams a lot I though she had gone mad really. She really underestimates shadow alot or is it her over confidence that she can beat shadow😂.
I haven't read the light novel so I'm just guessing here, but what I think happened is that Cid is doing the same thing to Iris that he did to his sister in episode 2. He has demonstrated that he can move so fast that normal humans can't even perceive him and he could have killed Claire several times over without her even noticing. In my estimation, he did the same exact thing to Iris, but since she is on a higher level of skill than Claire, she is just barely able to perceive these fast as light movements as illusions. That's why she was surprised that his sword was unsheathed. Its not that he never took it out, it's that he put it back in his scabbard so fast that she thought she was hallucinating. At least, that's what I imagine is happening.
Yes but no. cid didn’t actually do anything to both Clair or Iris. What was shown is what he could do if he wanted to. The difference between Iris and Claire is that Iris was able to clearly read and feel what Cid showed her with his minor movements due to her skill, while Claire only had a vague feeling of something going on.
difference is cid trained Claire indirectly without using blood lust,by showing her openings in her stances so she didn't felt overwhelmed.thats why claire says she learns from her brother's sword play but iris felt full unfiltered attack imo.
@@ledoi5961 Oh, so he didn't actually do anything to Claire? I thought the point of that scene was to demonstrate his impossible speed, not a 'what if' scenario that was completely in his mind. That's actually very disappointing if true. Iris explained the illusions by looking at his muscle movements and shifting center of gravity and was able to extrapolate to the future using her own intuition, but the part where she failed to recognize the sword entirely seemed so ridiculous that I thought Cid was just fucking with her mind using super speed.
@@shubashuba9209 nah, it's just that she was under so much pressure that she assumed that his sword was drawn. But Cid managed to scare her shitless without even pulling out his sword.
@@ledoi5961 exactly Cid lIterally beats Iris with her own skills and training and experience, This is a moment where her being a sword prodigy whose worked hard to learn as much as she did bits her in the rear end, As her skills and exprience basically have her on high alert to this guy and when he makes those subtle shifts of his eyes and bodies her skills go OMG REDALERT WERE DEAD!!. She all but liiterally FEELs the attack and reacts to it Even though THERE IS NONE but her every instinct is screaming YES there is. This fight was over before she even drew her sword just took her a few moments to realize it, the final move was just the cherry on the cake

the pressure of whole kingdom safety on your back, first time lake fish finding the ocean, in face of overwhelming power, got caught up in a invisible power struggle between two invisible overpowered grouped, considered one of the powerful in the kingdom and now finding helplessly overwhelmed and unable to protect anything and anyone, also respect and hope of people lying on your back is a lot of pressure (be strong and people will have respect and feel safe with the knights) , of course she is gonna break or she gonna dance around.
comparing her to her sister , her sister do not have these responsibilities. also she believes in shadow is a good guy ish hero complex
beatrix too don't have her responsibility, she is wandered.
idk why people keeps hating on her. maybe cause they never had to bare responsibilities and keep up the act of being strong.
and this is where Iris went full insane.
Ego, Shattered
No one understands Iris? Girl has been given the pressure of being the kingdoms best, the person who’s supposed to protect everyone, and then she just gets folded like an omelet by Mundane who’s just a random nobody? The humiliation and guilt of having an expectation only to be a let down, especially for someone like Iris who has been built up her whole life to show her pride, I’d imagine would not run well with anyone.
It's not like she's scared, she's hearing her instincts and her instincts are terrified and would rather be on the opposite side of the world.
Cid didnt even need to do this, he just wanted to torment her, i kind wish he made it more obvious the power difference for the audience to see, the audience didnt even know Iris was getting brutally hacked and slashed
In the anime i like the fact she gone berserk more than in the manga, it really shows how much her reputation gone to her head instead of actually giving up bc she acknowledged Jimina is much stronger than her
And as Shadow he's gonna wreck her and Beatrix
Because she the leader of the order, basically a country asset for a protection, if she fall that easily, every foundation od their military nation it's also will shatter. It's basically like a message to everyone that your country military is powerless in the hand of the Terrorist.
It's one thing to have pride in your power, it's another thing to listen to a stranger than your own sister.
Iris is a clown she is the whole circus 🎪
アイリスみたいな性格の人間は期待が大きければ大きいほど敗北した時の周囲からの落胆と失望は大きくなります。
Finally someone who gets it
Cid knows that he can kill iris and beatrix easily but that makes episode fight so short. So he went playing with them so he can shows us
Reminds me of OPM King's ability, but without the buff physique.
Now she's about to find out what I truly means to stand against power..
I actually felt pretty bad for her. That pressure they put on her was a bit too much.
Mundane Mann really just unsheated his sword at the last moment to end the duel not as a weapon but as a tool to determine the victory.. talk about savage
Actually he was sheating and unsheating his sword really fast to break her mind
@@zeroxcqt2862 no, in the LN he's just making godly skilled micro movements. It tricks the gifted Iris into seeing her death and that he unsheathed his sword
Strong enough to realize how screwed she was.
“In the end” by linkin park goes well with this video.
I hope she doesn't feel like suicidal you know like love with herself and give up her ideals hope she moves on and make herself stronger. At the end it was like she had lost her mind.
feel bad for this princess, she is strong without a doubt thus this blind fools in her Kingdom put such a burden on her shoulder.
At the end of the day, Chuuni still prevails
Man crushed her spirit and all he was worried about whole time was looking as low-key baller as possible. Emphasis on lowkey as he didn't want to fuck up the vibe.
Damn she knew without even being told, if he wanted to she'd be dead and no-one will even know how
Iris is going to end up going yandere if sid keeps this up.
When he said "are you not coming" that was the moment for me..... he's mocking her so bad that she got no chance but to go forward.....😮😮😮
"Don't just defeat them, give them PTSD for life" 😂😂
The way I see it, he actually inflicted all those strikes and wounds, but he also repaired her quicker then humanly observable. (Same belief with his duels against his sister) and that it takes exceptionally skilled opponents who have honed their craft to the point of apex to be able to even qualify with being able to interpret such actions against them.
Alright settle down Iris. Shh just pipe down you adorable tomato waifu.

and cid is not even serious he was just playing with her
1:11 Wait we just getting started...!?!?! He is a goat
Iris:im gonna fight him..
Iris instinct:your funeral..
Iris is simple to describe it okay to confident but it not okay to you look down on people
When Claire didn't find Cid in his seat, he better start running for his life or come up with a convincing explanation for this. When it comes to Claire's obsession with Cid, there's no stopping her, like that 1 time when Cid was being interrogated. It took several students, including Rose, to restrain her on the spot. And afterward, she's been detained in under a minute.
(Remember that "Pain-In-The-Ass-O-Meter" in the manga?)
Claire is way stronger than what they let on. It is hinted she can take on Iris easily. Cid called her chūnibyō on various time claiming that she hid her true power and ability even to her brother.
@@cck4863 she's simply possessed by the friendly demon lord that's all no biggie for our hero
@@Verxx-sc2tl
The Great shadow lord is just unhappy about the competition. NO one should out "chūnibyō" him.
bro was just showing off a bit of his aura and defeated a dang strong enemy with that, damn, bro has no chill
I swear to god cid made jimina after binge watching naruto. Drops his weights like rock lee vs garra when he warns before, than puts Iris into literal genjutsu and chokes her like he's an itachi.
Funny think see was saying to Alexia that she is stronger than Shadow, got what she deserves
I JUST LOVE THE SMELL OF FEAR
I mean that’s what happens when your battle sense/instinct senses an attack (in this case a feint) that you can’t perceive due to how fast it is
Who wanna agree this is just anxiety but next level
Hope that one day shadow will reveal himself as cid
She is the only one strong enough and with instincts sharp enough to register the fact that if he moves, for even a nano second, she is dead.
Everyone else are too weak to even notice.
"I was just warming up" ahh battle 😭
"I'm confident I can beat him in one blow"
Top 10 anime moments before disaster
This is like some insane Furi boss fight
The crazy part is, Shadow defeated Iris (the strongest dark knight in the kingdom) without using magic. That just shows how skilled Shadow truly is. He isn't OP b/c of stats or magic spells like other isekai protags. Even if Cid lost all ability to use magic, he is still strong as hell.
I felt bad for her honestly...
Her crash out was legendary 💀 She is a princess of Midgar but the queen of crash outs fr
Plot twist - he is actually cutting her body parts but then again healing her so fast that no one can actually see him cut her, thats why she thought its a illusion .
When pride comes before the fall
It’s not like Iris is weak, she’s one of the world top class it’s just cid is broken
Iris is built up to be this very strong and talented fighter but she is shown up and beaten so badly. It's specifically because of her exceptional instincts that she senses just how dangerous he really is and it's terrifying.
ah yes.. the infamous scene that started the entire "crumble".
Never have I seen someone that portray a characters definition, way of life, and throught cumble so magnificently.
A strong character that got over confident, desperate to feel her back is wide enough to people feeling safe.
Her entire persona revolves around it, and being a strong character around absolute canon fodder made her think, she was at the peak of the chain, never needing to refine herself.
Notice what her fightingstyle revolves around, extreme magical outputs and humoungous swings.. before the weapon shatters due to her overinfusing magic into the attack.
She has literally made the ultimate glass canon build (in a sense).
Her pride revolved around it.
her comprehension when meeting someone stronger were, a shattering of the truth.. and only time will tell if her psyche can handle it or not.
People have been feeding into her pride for way to long, it will be hard for a character like that to see her own faults, shortcomings and that, she can't do it all the way she is and have been.
Imagine getting packed up by your own fucking head. Then when you break that. You still get your shit wrecked. Just retire at that point.
That genjutsu had her rethinking her life choices.
Bro was itachi for a minute straight
I want to be isekai'd so god damn bad and just be an absolute npchad like Cid.
Find Truck-kun and let it kill you then.
Stop it, get some help
go outside and exercise, you'll feel better.. or help your parents.
don't go running infront of a truck while screaming magic like some nutjob
Talha Khondokar(Bangladesh):Count Me In Boro Bhai!
still the only one that figured out exactly how strong Mundane Mann was just by looking at him, that speak volumes of her skills, she just got completely eclipsed
Yknow, in the novel. She seemed more composed than screaming psycho flame princess. I was apparently mistaken.
Iris Mid-gar
What really gets me is earlier she had dismissed Shadow's ability saying he must have used an artifact. Pretty much right after this scene though she tries to go after him with an artifact herself at the same time as Beatrix is fighting him. And then when they both lose she tries using her kingdom to threaten him. Absolutely no shame on top of her worthless pride.
I feel bad for iris😂
LOL Cid really did Iris and the other science girl dirty, now he got 2 mentally unstable girl after him.
Very nice never thought he be able to pull off a genjutsu well something similar but still praiseworthy 😎👏👏👏👏
the disrespet when he says Iris MIDgar lmao
Even delta would stomp her 😢😢
I think iris hasn't got brains to contemplate shadow is not against kingdom. At point where she screams a lot I though she had gone mad really. She really underestimates shadow alot or is it her over confidence that she can beat shadow😂.
Meanwhile Cid: "Hahahaha.....I'm doing the perfect mundane man with secret potential bit!"
More like Zaraki on steroids.
She looks good with short hair tho
I haven't read the light novel so I'm just guessing here, but what I think happened is that Cid is doing the same thing to Iris that he did to his sister in episode 2. He has demonstrated that he can move so fast that normal humans can't even perceive him and he could have killed Claire several times over without her even noticing. In my estimation, he did the same exact thing to Iris, but since she is on a higher level of skill than Claire, she is just barely able to perceive these fast as light movements as illusions. That's why she was surprised that his sword was unsheathed. Its not that he never took it out, it's that he put it back in his scabbard so fast that she thought she was hallucinating. At least, that's what I imagine is happening.
Yes but no. cid didn’t actually do anything to both Clair or Iris. What was shown is what he could do if he wanted to.
The difference between Iris and Claire is that Iris was able to clearly read and feel what Cid showed her with his minor movements due to her skill, while Claire only had a vague feeling of something going on.
difference is cid trained Claire indirectly without using blood lust,by showing her openings in her stances so she didn't felt overwhelmed.thats why claire says she learns from her brother's sword play but iris felt full unfiltered attack imo.
@@ledoi5961 Oh, so he didn't actually do anything to Claire? I thought the point of that scene was to demonstrate his impossible speed, not a 'what if' scenario that was completely in his mind. That's actually very disappointing if true. Iris explained the illusions by looking at his muscle movements and shifting center of gravity and was able to extrapolate to the future using her own intuition, but the part where she failed to recognize the sword entirely seemed so ridiculous that I thought Cid was just fucking with her mind using super speed.
@@shubashuba9209 nah, it's just that she was under so much pressure that she assumed that his sword was drawn. But Cid managed to scare her shitless without even pulling out his sword.
@@ledoi5961 exactly Cid lIterally beats Iris with her own skills and training and experience, This is a moment where her being a sword prodigy whose worked hard to learn as much as she did bits her in the rear end, As her skills and exprience basically have her on high alert to this guy and when he makes those subtle shifts of his eyes and bodies her skills go OMG REDALERT WERE DEAD!!. She all but liiterally FEELs the attack and reacts to it Even though THERE IS NONE but her every instinct is screaming YES there is.
This fight was over before she even drew her sword just took her a few moments to realize it, the final move was just the cherry on the cake
She’s to emotional and clearly lets her pride get the better of her.
My heart actually sunk when her head was cut off. I actually respect Iris so it was hard to watch
Damn, Iris' shocked face after being downed by Cid is so damn cute for some reason.
i love a good humbling
Gotta give it to iris though. To be able to sense those small movements from him.
Alexia might eventually surpass Iris.
this show is so good
Bro put her under his genjutsu🤣🤣
And cid is not even trying at all in this scene
