It is interesting that Eminence in Shadow went the opposite direction than Kizumonogatari. In Monogatari Araragi is told that since he has superhuman strength and speed he has little use for martial arts that were developed so weak people could fight stronger or armed opponents. The Dark Knights use magic mostly to enhance their physical abilities so earth's martial arts that Cid know should not necessarily make him the better fighter but common sense has no place here. Also, it is stated in the novels that the Dark Knights job is to fight monsters but other than the slimes and the cult members that mutatesd Cid doesn't fight monsters until Vol. 4 and those weren't monsters native to this new world that the DK would normally fight.
You have a great point! Actually, in Cid's New World, fighting techniques heavily rely on the use of magic and speed; that's part of the reason Cid thinks they are inferior to the ones he learned in his past world, where people also had to consider how to defend themselves from incoming attacks and invent techniques dedicated to it. In his New World, people don't train their defensive capabilities because they don't need to. Their main fighting style is basically "hit and run," which, based on their perspective, is the best way to fight.
@@AnimeStatsSama I'm pretty sure he edited the techniques from his old world to fit with his new capabilities in the new world, otherwise with the extreme increase on power, speed and durability, the old world's techniques would become sloppy as fuck.
Cid aka "Shadow" is definitely one of my top badass characters. He is very unique and I found it ridiculously interesting in terms of action and comedy.
One thing that’s briefly mentioned is cid doesn’t know how strong he is as he hasn’t had to go all out I don’t know if this applies to his “I Am Atomic” or not but if it does that would be pretty insane to think he could put more power into those atomic attacks
Fun fact: The story Cid concocted to Alpha ep 1 about the descendant was kinda based on the already existing fairytales and legends that already exist in the new world. The Cult of Diablos was all original. So he didn't actually fully bullshit his way through it all. Lol (Could also be wrong as it has been a year now since I read the ln)
🤗 I must admit that The Eminence in Shadow Anime covered Light Novel pretty well, there is little to no Cut content as far as my research goes. Props to the creators 🔥🔥🔥

I also struggle to make sense of it, but then I remember that there is a character in the Show called "Perv Asshat" 😂😂😂 so there would probably be no meaning behind his last name.
To be fair most of the Seven Shadow, with one exception, are smarter that Cid in some field or another like literature or learning to play more than one thing in the piano. Also, due to Cid being constantly surrounded by pretty girls he has stated he would prefer a less attractive girl, maybe with some scars.
@@fearthefunnyman1201 yes, but he knows it the same way he knows all the stories he told Beta or how he knows how banking works. He has the basics down but really only mastered a few things.
@@martinratagris I don't really know about that, he is a expert at several forms of combatives, and has a high proficiency with the piano, as well as a highly proficient skillet when it comes to espionage. While this is partly due to luck he has to be rather proficient to roll with the punches as he does
@@fearthefunnyman1201 yes, Cid is, if nothing else a master in terms of fighting ability. And yes, he has practiced playing the piano for years but he ever only perfected his Moonlight Sonata. He himself has stated he is mediocre with other pieces. As for espionage and acting, he constantly fails to keep his Mob persona, what with Alexia and Iris taking an interest at him. He acted well enough during the torture/interrogation but that is due to his pain tolerance which he developed along with his fighting skills. When he took the fake Shadow Garden on the school he used mostly his superior physical abilities and magically enhanced senses which took the disguised cult members by surprise because the relic should have negated any enemy's magic but Cid is not normal. I will not mention his scheme to falcify money since that is spoilers for the second season but his covert skills are as underdeveloped as he claims this new world martial arts are.
@@martinratagris I'm saying while his personality may be abnormal, his abilities are well refined, he doesn't have a power that no one else doesn't have the means to obtain, they just lack the knowledge
As an avid manga reader, I can confirm all of those fact about that dumbass. The slime part did elude me though, because I always kept thinking it just an instant-costume change thing as well as Epsilicone’s boobs.
It is very painful to have a nail ripped off and naturally they will do it in a needlessly extra painful way, now imagine all of your nails ripped off one by one, most people would break and talk after two or three.
@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist Cid is a dedicated background character, sure he could easily break free and kill everyone if he wanted. But for him it was roleplay, pain is something he is used to and doesn't bother him much. He does kill those corrupt guards that tortured him like the next episode with a carefree smile so they got their just desserts.
He doesn't really need that, He can train himself to even surpassed his past self and go to another level. The guy is still grinding and training till this day. The reason why He is so goated in my opinion, His power comes from hardwork and daily training to break his limit.

Next video will be about Tensei Shitara, Let's reach 500 Likes on this video 😎🤟🤟
I gave you my Like. I truly hope for a Mushoku tensei Video about Orsted.
I just love how he thinks he is cool. But all other normal people are calling him cringe as hell. Vol.4.
He is not just cool. He is Atomic!
Can't wait for season 2 and starting the manga rn, this is absolute fire, keep up the good work!

CID was making up the part about the cult, at least in his mind.

I find it surprising that He reincarnated with a family that had the same last name as what he had in his old world

I wouldnt doubt that he didnt even know about that training place from the last episode where Rose became the 666
Of course he wouldn’t, because he’s a dumbass.
He know alexandria, see the game Rose of garden
1:06 If the middle one is true then imagine someone who learnt all lightsaber forms from Star Wars gets reincarnated in this world.
I love the Assassin's Creed vibes this series gives me
Pure, Undilluted, form of Overpowered Protagonist who didn't granted any cheat system on his body.
As a person who had watched the anime version only.
I wonder the surname "Kageno" which is Minoru and Cid have it.
Nice
No wonder no one notices, his 2 personas couldn't be more different.

How strong would cid be if he could take all the power he had given to the members of shadow. I actually wonder myself

eminence in the shadow overlord>
cid isnt surpassed in knowledge by any charecter
Can someone explain why cid keeps his last name kagenou, before and after he gets isekai-ed. Does it tie into plot later? Spoiler me
Also in the opening why does it look like it takes place in present day japan? Do they time travel?
short answer is yes. he will travel to earth in 3rd season or end of the 2nd season
@@EverLastingLov oooo that plot sounds interesting, when does this happen in the novel? And has the manga caught up to it yet?
@@justthatpiamon yes
such great premisses, such bad executed anime.
