Right? Having better character development is more important than an event that is happening right now. If character is good then any arc is good with it.

@@SeriesZap indeed

​@@darkspiro6467 Im really a fan of Rose's Character development

@Bien1222 me too it's very well established and executed

@@SeriesZap if i get reincarnated ima be just like Cid bruh

He’s similar to Ajimu Najimi but they are bornly different.

*refuses to elaborate

​@@TheKsenpai na he ELABORATES

I like your view. I will try to incorporate your idea into my next video. Stay tuned.

A good example of the people playing into it mindset would be when he “comes up” with the cult when he meets alpha but then we later see that it has been around a lot longer than him but he had no knowledge of it until later and so he just though alpha and the original 7 were just playing along until they decided to “leave”

Or this idee fixe is the closest thing to God he can come up with. Because, y'know, sintoism or how does it named...

​@@calebhilderbrand7132 there has to be some similarities with the fiction on Cid's world and the reality of new world. Though we can just assume it's all a gag by the author and he made it blend seamlessly as if it was real all along. Plus most of the things that turned out to be true are all common cliches in storytelling. It's not that deep until Cid realizes it's not a facade

No, he definitely sees it as a possibility now that he has magic. He literally said so himself. He is both role-playing and not at the same time

i like the idea that the show is completly serious in universe but the way its written makes it comedic

I like how exaggerated everything is. And i respect how Cid has such a fun dream that's why I can relate a lot to him. Most people would say how dum his dream is but if you have that kind of mind set then your probably naive. But that's my opinion if you do think his dream is dum that's ok we can still be Friends.😅

Because it is a comedic anime? It isn’t supposed to be taken seriously.

@@KhanMann66 There's two parts to this anime. If you want you can take it seriously (although I doubt anyone would be able to). OR you can just enjoy it in a comedic way like most people do.

​@@talking_slime fr. I too irl act like a mob character, I do not wish for attention, but I do play as a character to fulfil certain scenarios and watch it play out without me directly influencing things. And if the "story" didn't go as the way I hoped for, I get mildly irritated but just move on with my day. So Cid being Cid is relatable to me.

what consequence? he literally just lol i am op this over nonsense.

I mean one example would be when he took the ring from asshat and lost it on the balcony for rose to use later which was technically what he was gonna do but completely different and accidental execution

What consequences? Literally nothing happens because Cid just mows them down and move on to his next agenda.

What agenda? If the MC seems like a headless running chicken.

Rewatch the show. Rose is able to grow so much as a character because of Cid. Thats only one example. His actions are directly encouraging the world to grow stronger. ​@KhanMann66

Holy shit, you're right! But instead ascending the heavenly jade emperor dragon nine realms, he's descending further and further into chuuni insanity

@@ExpertContrarian it was a typo i meant to write aren't instead of are. too late i guess lol

@@sreyes103 you can edit it y'know?

Cid is weirdly mature and very soft towards kids which surprised me. In each arc we get a character that parallels who cid was and his inner struggles in hope to achieve his chunni dreams.

Same

To an extent, you can even watch this show as a comedy show, purely because Shadow hasn't quite realised what he's doing is real. He's just saying things to look cool, and somehow keeps rolling nat20s.

​@Lucci136 I mean obviously it's deadass obvious Cid is the Mc, but all the character's really feel like character's with their own stories going on. Your the main character of your own life after all. That's why it feels like that because everyone here actually has their own story.(most of them)

@Lucci136 Besides Rose completely fitting that role I'll have to overlook her since she would have died long ago if not for Shadow being stylish bandit slayer and several other occasions. But perhaps the original hero simply hasn't been born yet and Cid is fucking up the cult early for him

@@HiMyNameIsSuperBros30ttt bruh lol

​@@HiMyNameIsSuperBros30tttlol, baki wather:

that's why I love this show

i find OP character shows more entertaining because there's more nuance to the story. rather than: "get stronger to kill big bad guy", it can actually play around with a few ideas. him thinking it's a game and trying to look as cool as possible was an incredible and funny decision that absolutely makes the anime. if it was serious i think it'd be pretty meh. Edit: overlord is also fantastic for that reason. trying to live up to how evil his companions think he is, lol.

@@staffyman11 Yeah am genuinely curious to see where the plot goes aka the cult of diablos story i know alot people are there for the comedy and don't really care for the plot but I think its great And yes Overlord is great one of my favs

@@staffyman11and it’s goofy without being unbearable and feeling as if the stakes are non existent, we know the good guys will win but characters do experience genuine tragedy and we are opened up to dynamics outside of that between Cid and his harem. Rose’s arc is genuinely tragic and building Beta up from a poised tactical genius to now the laughing stock of the shadows who has fantasies like a wattpad girl is hilarious and a great development.

You are going to love Light Novel Volume 6 then.

I feel like he does not need to change lol. The story is pretty serious its just covered up by a chunniboy.

He said that he removes the memories which he thinks is not important for his dream. This also means the topics he talk about with other people. I think Cid is a complex character if we read his monologues of the very rare moments where Cid is serious. The anime cannot put all of his monologues because of limited time, that's why in anime he looks more goofy than in LN

...no, dude is just Enlightened. Like he actually following the majority of Buddhist philosophies, it's just the version that allows for the a goal to be the true end point. He also literally has shown he cares for those he actually cares about. He actually likes the girls in Shadow Garden it's just he wants to live out his fantasies first. He already plans to live just as long as them. Mans legit wants to be an Enlightened being from a Chinese novel or one of the variant sects of Buddhist teachings.

@@anirudhbhanot7303 No, it's just people pay attention to one part and nothing else. Even if you showed all of those people still wouldn't get it.

He seems to enjoy playing out the small bits in his character. Everyone is like that time some degree no one can like EVERYTHING, he just found what he likes and he sees those things as the only thing that matter.

That's a complete lie. He LITERALLY enjoys the small moments. The ones HE LIKES though. He's so observant and just watches everyone else to be a perfect background character and picked 2 guys to be friends with because they are such MOBs. He actually likes being around them, he likes seeing people try even when others deride them. He's is a literal Renaissance Man with multiple skills he wanted to get because he wanted to enjoy what he wanted which is considered the small stuff.

@@RavenCloak13 I think we’re thinking of different small insignificant moments. You talk of the people that he meets which are insignificant in comparison to his power and status. I talk of something else. The moments of life where it’s just perfectly nothing important. Be it a particularly good moment at an empty field that just fills you with calm, or some other mundane activity that for whatever reason is enjoyable that time. Cid’s character is one of escalating dramatics. Even if he enjoys the insignificant people around him, it won’t be because of them as a person. It’s always the role they play in his play of pretend. When he is in a calm moment, sure, he can live in that moment, but from what I understand, he doesn’t feel alive in them. The only time he does feel alive is when he is acting out his fantasy to perfection, so he does that for every moment of his life. To him each moment is a performance on a grand stage of life, and thus no moment is allowed to be just perfectly nothing important. But maybe we just interpret his character and life slightly differently. Not like that’s the point of the show. It’s an absurd comedy about a guy who wants almighty power for a chuuni fantasy.

@@AnArtistInAVoid Those small insignificant parts are apart of his play though. This is literal semantics at this point as well. Both are small insignificant things in life. He isn't enjoying tiktok brainrot is that some small insignificant thing hes missing out on? He does enjoy the small insignificant parts but apart of a main whole at the same time and of course NOT EVERY SINGLE INSIGNIFICANT SMALL THING.

@@johnjohnjohnson7720 let’s just agree to disagree and leave it at that

Yes, that is a thing that happened. He goes back to school after the terrorist attack and everyone believes he "miraculously survived". Rose even invites him to an event and acts lovey dovey because she thinks he loves her.

Could you elaborate on how his mentality relates to enlightenment? Is it just a matter of discarding everything deemed useless?

@@SerendipitousProvidence Its about relating immaterial things to material things. He notices that discipline is everything to his dream. I think it's really his willpower to live and do his goal.

Yeah me to. Might you consider subscribing? I'm planning on releasing more TEIS content even after S2 ends.

@@SeriesZap of course. I love this character.

There we have it, some kid thinking he is shadow a fictional character from a written story. It's cliche that you normally don't self insert in a character but shadow a complete psychopath that has the discipline and self believe that nobody has, because he's a fictional character! You probably have a dream or something idk but who cares, the fact that you post this is evidence enough that you don't share nothing with the main character.

@snoxy4003 I don't at all think I'm like him, and Shadow is NOT a psychopath. Shadow does have feelings, and he says so himself, but they're momentary and fleeting like a sociopath. I said that this character and I share some things in common, but I never said I was like him. I listed the 2 traits we share in common, that's it. I only care about my dream, and I go through countless nights working towards it. I don't care at all about most things unless it can help me make the dream a reality, but I also said we're different. That I put value in human life and he doesn't, because I'm not like him at all. I merely share a common trait with him that I think is admirable. The dedication one can have while removing themselves from materialism. The example of being bought for money isn't unique to Shadow or myself. Most people can be paid to do things because everyone has something they want to buy. I'm sorry if I came off as a "he just like me fr" kind of person to Shadow, but I very clearly showed my disdain for several of his traits that I clearly lack. You either didn't read the entire thing or read it and decided everything else didn't matter. There is only one character in anime that I can somewhat resonant with and swe part od myself in them, and Shadow is NOT said person. The people I take interest in and aspire to be more like are historical figures, but even they have their problems and should be looked up to, but not emulated. If anything, people should look up to Cid more than Shadow because at least his Cid persona cares slightly about the people around him and is more human. But even then, both use people and toss them aside like they're nothing. That's not someone you should aspire to be like. Leaving a trail of broken people and corpses behind like you're trying to male Machievillie blush.

​@@KraNisOGPerfectly said. The other kid is running from your reply, though.

​@@snoxy4003 Apparently you can't read

Cid is neither a sociopath nor a psychopath

Bruh🗿

He did say that the genre went from isekai fantasy to soap opera and even broke the 4th wall by saying, he needs to correct the story to bring it back to 6:30PM slot which is the slot given to anime on tv channels he viewed in his original world, I think. Considering both seasons, his earth has the same anime series aired as the real world considering Beta's parody works as Natsume, so it makes sense for the culture to be very close to the current world, which is further proof of him being able to imagine being in an isekai anime.

He used actual Japanese language. Eta is incredibly smart, so she figured it out.

@@SeriesZapbut how there’s literally no Japanese in his isekai world 💀

@@xbgsheikiii3593 Eta is incredibly smart, she deciphered it.

@@SeriesZapNot possible, without any references (Ways to directly learn the language) it’s impossible to translate/decipher ANY language. If you need proof theirs old died languages that our worlds top experts have yet to translate into modern languages. Namely because theirs nothing to go off of, making translation impossible. Point is being smart is not enough to translate a language.

@@darth3911based on what the final couple episodes say about the world at large it’s likely Japanese does exist as a dead language. Meaning there is enough of it to help decipher his message. Also remember the dead language code Beta uses in the first season during the beginning of the church arc? Similar to that

I agree except the terrible part.
