My exact same thought

Menace💀

sounds like imu sama

THIS FEEL LIKE A BLEACH EP

he did launch the blast but in the air thats why it was sunny after instead on raining

I'm really surprised that people actually missed that. I mean, they were fighting in really gloomy weather, and after what Cid did, it was bright as heck without a cloud in sight.

What's funny he even says "sky rendering" right before he does it.

i also missed it on the first watch. i just thought he canceled the spell and somehow the sky cleared up

@@erict1628 To be fair, the sky suddenly becoming clear after a fight ends is a fairly common anime cliche. Makes sense for people to not put 2 and 2 together.

People are dumb unfortunately, can't see what's in front of their eyes

nah but if someone did that against me I'd just dip tbh.

I think I'd call it a 'blip'.

@@turooru Like you'd get a choice.

it has been explained in the early episodes, he puts mana in his feet so he can move with super speed and in his case its so op that it looks like he just teleports

No clipping through reality without being trapped in the backrooms.

Right? The war cry there is giving me goosebumps

Can you imagine if sheera said something during that part too 😂

I saw the dub version for this. Although the dub just didn't feel as good, which is a first for me to say, how he said that line was actually rather satisfying.

​​​@@redohealer2What kind of god tier anime have you been watching that all their dubs were as good as the sub 😂 Please don't say Redo of Healer btw. And please don't identify with Keyaru. Actually, please don't identify with rapists in general 👀

@@Megalomaniac_Trans_Lesbian really haven't been watching a lot these days. Only time I'm watching dub is if it's already available, or I'll just watch the sub until a dub announcement(maybe)

dang hackers!

I love that he's written that way. I don't know if you're familiar with Monogatari, but the main character, Araragi, is written a similar way. The stories are mainly about the girls in his life up until the VERY end, with him mainly being a vehicle for story progression.

There was a moment in the episode when things first started with Rose were I was more engrossed in what was happening with her than I was with the Tournament stuff. I considered the Tournament/Mundanne Mann plot the SIDE story.

i agree.

Most of the time,Protag with Mary sue archetype Will get this treatment,The Protag Will be considered as plot device to advance the plot of others.and i love that,it gave sense of Watching everything unfold with the Protag behind the scene

5D chess, cause he's just making shite up as he goes, my dude.

He's definitely a lot smarter when it comes to tactics and combat than... well, anything else really

@@WidgyAinz He didn't turn them into tonfas, he used them as tonfas just like in episode 1 (doesn't work irl btw)

@@WidgyAinz I don't know where you got that from. He turns and looks, sees the scaffolding, gets hit into the scaffolding and you see a bunch of other tools scattering from the impact. He is then wielding the crowbars. If it was made from slime with Shadow's magic running through it, Beatrix wouldnt be able to cut through it unless he let her do it. Considering you see Shadow get impressed by Beatrix cutting the crowbar, Id highly doubt he'd have let her cut it.

@@WidgyAinz He literally found it, then use it. Maybe rewatch it, and look closely to that part

Like Cid said,she is what we can call a true War Goddess,her title ain't just for show. I loved her character more than any other girl in the show tbh,maybe Aurora is an exception.

​@@San_d_alphone delta> beatrix they my fave girls too

@@jahray6300 to each their own lol. My favs are Aurora, Beatrix, Delta and Rose.

I mean Beatrix I'm pretty sure is stronger than some of the original 7 of shadow garden. I think she only gets beat out by Alpha, Delta and MAYBE Beta (probably not)

@@whothou he clearly says via sword play you might be as strong but you lack magic. She can be on the same footing as nu (maybe) but the 7 shadows all have the ability to take out an army by themselves

Alpha thought it was part of Shadows plan to have her join.

@@VivioSaf Alpha seemed to suggest it after Cid told her his "made up" origin for possession. She said they had to gather the others. At the very least she can empathize with girls suffering from possession.

​​@@N74.Joseph Pretty much, my guy is just doing sidequest whilst leaving his minions to complete major ones 😂 they gonna have him show his face and he'll say "nani, who are all you people? When did you get here? How has this been hidden?"

​@@KyosisPlaysAlthough he saved the seven shades from that mist dragon. So he knows about the HQ.

Rose is actually a recovered cursed person. Up until recently actually. We saw the curse spreading through her in the last few episodes

Chad 🗿🍷

Which is exactly why he seeks strong opponents to fight in the first place. He only wants to plunge them into despair as they realise how utterly hopeless it is to face him in combat

Yeah she chalked it up to we'll say it was an artifact gone haywire, or when she saw alpha she must've been using one. Then when she saw it up close when she thinks she's wielding great power only to be shown what real power is.

Alexia was the true definition of stoicism💀. “It is what it is. Nothing I can do about it”

Its almost as if Iris entire life up until this point has been dictated by her being a master prodigy from a young age and the sheer amount of pressure that has come with it. Of course she will despair at literal proof that her life dictated on her being the strongest had been a lie in front of this terrorist who blew up a hole in the city and (and as far everyone knows) barged into the most prestigious school in the country and murdered a respected teacher and former legendary warrior. For Iris being outmatched like this is quite literally the most earth shattering concept because Cid and Shadow Garden are complete BS when it comes to power scaling in this world. While Alexia who had been outmatched her whole life got hope because she saw that Shadow and her have the same fighting style so maybe she can also reach great heights. For Alexia being outclassed is nothing new, so she saw nothing but hope in Shadow. I like these two sisters but lets not pretend that the circumstances are the same for these two 😅

Beatrix really impressed me. She was the only person who Cid had to take even a little bit seriously. And her character is pretty chill and humble. I hope this isn't the last we see of her.

@@XHobbiesPrime Yeah she was dope. Considering she is related to Alpha (and most likely the whole Hero Olivier thing with the cult), I dont think its the last time we gonna see her

People forget that Cid trained his body in the real world before he got reincarnated to this world. He was peak human conditioning and absolutely a monster in hand to hand as he had no powers in the previous world.

Yep, in this world because of Magic, people did not develop grappling and hand to hand combat. If you fight with your bare hands (like Delta) you are considered a barbarian and uncivilized.

And also this world people doesn't seem to know any hand to hand combat without swords and magic they are kinda useless Like these two girl against cid Delta is something different 🗿

Yeah it’s like Misfit of Demon Academy. If you love the spectacle and insane bullshit it’s so much fun. But If you find it stupid then you won’t enjoy it as much

@@sanddry738 exactly lol. i enjoyed the bullshit so i liked these two, but i see where it falls short for some people.

He doesn't actually know shit about the cult?

@JunkoEnoshimaDQ Yeah I’m somewhere in the middle, I really enjoy Cid’s personality and the humor in the show, plus the action is awesome. The plot stuff doesn’t bother me, but for some reason it *really* irritates me how he barely interacts with anyone in Shadow Garden in a meaningful way. For example, I’m not sure if it’s better in the light novel/manga, but in the anime he has all of 3 conversations with Alpha, all of which are within the first 4 episodes.

​@@emircanozad914not as much as like everyone else in Shadow Garden, every time he's involved it's by chance, he's been assuming the girls know he made it up earlier and are playing along but it's actually real.

Now that you mention it... It kinda foreshadows the properties of blood and its relevance to magic it self. "Magic flows better trough blood than water" that is the immediate conclusion out of Cid's line... I hope they explore more about the nature of magic MmM

Lambda legit gave her a free haircut lol.

Honestly I related with her from the start. Im a very sentimental person and even something as significant as a burger wrapper, I’d keep if it has some meaning behind it

Any reason why people bash on Iris so much?

​@@sammydray5919 idk, but i get she's kinda annoying in the Anime, she isn't like this in Manga and LN

@@sammydray5919 probably because she wants everything to go her way without hearing anyone out

Yea they looked bored asf ngl

Yep, I have a feeling they didn't pick up much on the story. My guess is that most people aren't used to the fact that the protag isn't really involved in the situation cause he didn't know what's going on, and if people focus on him to view things then they might get confused. With this type of anime (like overlord), you mostly need to view from other chracters perspective instead to see the full story. Or maybe it's just not their cup of tea.

Well as i see it this anime is about Cid and the ridiculous bullshit he does. The plot is just there to make the world feel alive and create settings for Cid to do some funny shit. For s1 at least

@Mīćhæł Pīņəß its a shame for me it's probably my favorite comedy Isekai anime since konosuba

godhandled

It's actually rare for Anime exclusive plot in a LN based Anime to be actually done well. I mean, the whole fight in the LN/Manga was a short one, and Cid didn't even try to use Atomic in there.

Iris didn't get humbled.... You'll see why I said that later on.

@@Sup_D It was just to flex on them hoes. Nah but seriously, i didn't mind that change at all,in fact we got to see a fairly decent fight. I mean it was a violation but considering how Cid made a quick work of his opponents so far,seeing Beatrix actually tanking his hits and matching him with her moves was amazing,altho it didn't do much lol.

@@DarkFrozenDepths ik the plot gud sir,i am just going with the anime's context to avoid spoiling much. Lemme rephrase it for u 'Iris got schooled'.

His sister and shadow garden was also in the city. I’d lose respect for cid if he did it honestly

Lol he would never kill her sister

Do we have a date?

​@@icantbelieveyoudonethis4059 somewhere in october

@@icantbelieveyoudonethis4059 October this year

They're doing a prescreening in Texas at an expo for the first episode of season 2 apparently.

@@mylanbatenburg2701 Nice thanks

(18)

Important to remember that those 2 women were **the pinnacle** of their whole Nation, and no one scales up to them in their regular world (meaning if we don't take Shadow Garden into account). He still humbled them like their daddy though

The events of episode 1 feels disconnected from the rest of the season because iirc it was content from later on in the ln/manga. In the source material it started with Cid being isekaid to the fantasy setting and it was vol 4 when his life on Earth (attending school - rescuing Akane) was shown.

As much as i think this show is kinda mid, i really like the worldbuilding in this. It's nothing too forced and made me really interested

I was wondering what the point of that flashback was. Maybe there is some genuine emotions and desire to be a true hero inside Cid. Maybe deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, DEEP inside him

Before the atomic there were clouds as far as the eye can see. After the atomic you can vaguely see some clouds in the far far distance. Basically at the end of the horizon. This atomic would have not just wiped out the city but also a lot of the country.

Agreed

Same 😂🤣
