Cid may have just fought his toughest opponent yet! It was one of the more challenging fights in which the climax had actually gotten a bit emotional. So, if you wanna know how Alpha vs. Shadow went in the novels, here's the cut content from Eminence In Shadow Season 2 Episode 4!

The difference between the anime and manga is pretty drastic. In the anime Alpha was able to make John Smith bleed but still lost to him while in the manga Alpha was able to "beat" John Smith but lose to Shadow which shows that she was strong enough to make Cid actually try, which is a milestone in itself.
Between Alpha and the blood vampire lady who is the strongest ?
there was blood on his cheek in the manga panel he jus showed tho
If i remember the LN correctly he didn't really have trouble at all
@@notforyou2893 right now, when she has mist form probably her, but before that idk
@@berlinglasgow9585they meant that in the manga she did much more than make him bleed, which means the anime loses a bit of nuance
Delta was the highlight for me. She is like a cute puppy grown up into a deadly hunting dog, but turns back into her puppy form when around her master.
i see her as the only one who can really bother cid
In case of bothering Cid.
Claire > Alexia > Delta
@@dragonfury2512 Maybe it's better to say she's the only one who can bother Shadow
yeahhh shes sooo adorable. defintely that scene w her and cid was the saving grace from this slightly heartbreaking arc
Yes! Delta is the best pupper!
Alpha no don't go please don't leave me😭😭
Cid what Oscar level acting I'm proud of you Alpha😆
😂😂😂😂😂
sometimes i forget cid's point of view xd
Cid thinks everything related to the cult is acting. However I don’t think he though that was acting from alpha. After all alpha and delta grew up together and he would know she would be very hurt by it. It’s the cult and shadow garden that’s an act. Not their relationships. Cid also acted trying to help mitsugoshi which was his childhoods friends / test subjects company meaning he was actively looking out for them.
@@WhoKnows-xp6vh Cid is a bit retarded on matters of emotion, I think he just probably didn't/can't comprehend what Alpha was feeling.
C'mon man😂😂
AniNews failed to mention that Mistform is an ability that was originally possessed by the Blood Queen. Beta also acquired it after being infected with Elizabeth's Progenitor blood. Alpha learned it due to Beta bringing back a sample of Elizabeth's blood for study as Alpha quickly learned the ability.
oh very cool
He did mention mistform in the video about their fight and how it's a common ability for vampires. Elizabeth's version is next level due to her being able to partially convert her body enabling her to dodge and attack at the same time.
In his other videos he did mention about it
I mean most of his cut content videos are quite shallow, he only downright quote word for word from the Light novel without much change and his analysis sometimes feel quite shallow.
Nah bro he doings good work without spoiling
You know who I feel the most sorry for? Black Juggernaut. They couldn't even kill him in the main show they killed him in the chibi spin off
He died SCREAMING. 🤣 🤣
It doesn't even take a minute to kill him... but not even a serious fight
and even then it was off screen and by complete accident, such disrespect 😂
Yeah Black Juggernaut situation is funny and very humiliating had a grand entrance in episode 01 of the 2nd season fighting on par against Yukime, being the Ruler of the Black Tower and it's a downhill fall for him. His highlights are killing grunts then getting involved in a fight with Claire so Cid kicked him down the tower and suffered a defeat, after that Juggernaut was defeated again by Elizabeth inflicted with serious injuries. Then the worst of it all is Juggernaut got killed off screen by Delta in Comedy Spinoff of the Main series. The Dude dying had me laughing for him, ending in a comedic way.
black jagga jagga died instantly
This basically showed me that you might be able to hide your face, but you can't hide your habits.
Cid's extremely acute and unique understanding of combat being his undoing in exposing his identity to Alpha so quickly, was a nice touch.
And let's be honest, he had zero chance of hiding from Delta. He was like...
"Oh yeah...beast girl...I forgot..."
Apparently in the LN it specified that he did try to mask his scent beforehand but Delta still found him out. Either way, beast girl has the best nose.
He didnt forgot, they cut his inner monologue talking about how he tried to hide his scent.
I think zeta can smell him too (cuz the later manga chp zeta rolling around at cid bed or hide under his bed)
@@rednave4489they both have the same animalistic abilities
my very first thought when watching the episode and they sent Delta was "She's gonna smell him". Honestly, I would have been a little upset if she didn't
Poor alpha deserved better! Shes trying her best!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cid thinks it's all just a game and not real.
She does. Cid is... not a good friend. I know it's the whole gag, but there are seriously times I wish he'd recognize the reality of the situation and actually be responsible.
@@segevstormlord3713 sadly that will never happen. The WN version of this incident was deemed to be the point where the fandom pretty much imploded and divided into 2 (3 since there are those who don't really care about it) and where Cid character turned into a complete asshole, for one group. For me though, it was narratively cohesive and make sense if we take the premise and how he is as an insane chuuni that he has always acted like. The LN added some additions to counter the fact that the WN version has even more plot holes.
@@amraniussilber5244If Shadow Garden finds out the truth then Alpha will pull an Altair and kill him.
@@segevstormlord3713 Well I wouldn't mind if Alpha pulls an Altair and Kills the grandmaster aka Cid.
alpha made me cry a little, poor girl, she doesn't know cid is a absolute lunatic
it's a cult
lol
She should have just trusted him. His literally the reason why they still exist why they are as powerful as they are. Why they are as rich as they are etc etc. and yet still failed to support and trust her master. Shadow garden organization is literally for their own benefit in the first place. They literally rode on cid strength and knowledge to operate. Cid literally needs no help to accomplish anything in fact they need him more than cid needs them. In fact cid never needs them at all and just plays along for their own benefit. He literally makes money on his own and all of shadow garden asset are mostly controlled by the higher ups. Cid literally gets zero money or anything from them aside for favours and doing operations that they themselves needed to do in the first place but cid is just conveniently in that situation for some dumb luck or dumb coincidence.
@@midnightfun1277your arguments are contradictory. Follow the man who wants nothing to do with you but is just playing along. He's the foundation of their being but Shadow Garden built an empire based on what he taught them. What you are saying is what a cult does.
Jesus they made John Smith even cooler in the Anime in my opinion.
Yes
You're goddamn right!
I beg to differ
@@windrunner8497then beg
@@windrunner8497LN btw
Can't wait for Delta to come back.
"HEY GUYS, I'M BACK!!! ...Why are you so shocked? W-Why are you crying!? I DIDN'T MESS UP, DID I!? MASTER SAID ALPHA WOULDN'T GET MAD AT ME!!!"
I love CID and Delta’s relationship. She may annoy him but if he didn’t care he wouldn’t hold her legs so she doesn’t fall. Point number 2 he was petting her which take’s unnecessary effort and he always seems to indulge he whimsical nature.Point #3 the moment he noticed the change in her demeanor he stopped. I love how Delta can convey so much with so few word’s and how much she loves and trusts Shadow.
I really love the change from a carriage to a train. I think its much more epic to have train battles than it is to see a carriage trotting along. I think the train really adds a lot of coolness to the show.
That scene immediately after John Smith beat Alpha and she fell off the train and cried after him was completely heartbreaking. I really hope Cid makes it up to her soon. I couldn't leave alpha lying there in the cold, beaten and broken.
The immediate change from hostile to love when delta found out who John Smith was was so freaking cute. BOSS!!! Delta will forever be a cinnamon roll. the short I saw of her defeating the guy Cid sent her after was also super funny/cute.
The 2 princess's interactions was a nice touch. I'm interested in their story. I wanna see how the silver haired one succeeds and becomes powerful with a beautiful sword.
Overall I hate how much the fights changed in the anime. the pacing almost feels completely off compared to the first season. Then again, that's what happens when there's 8 less episodes.
Still my favorite anime. I'm hoping for a third season even though we aren't even almost done with this season.
Light Novel Manga and anime have different takes or I'd say ways of telling the story. Which is fucking amazing in my opinion, we're getting the same story told in different ways from different viewpoints which can add more detail and dept to the other 2. The biggest change is Cid's obviousness in the LN to Manga where LN version he's taking back "his" riches which Mitsugoshi stole from him with his knowledge in his head. Fans didn't like this plot tho so it got changed to saving the world and the company in the manga
Well the anime follows the LN for the most part not the manga so that’s why the fight is pretty different in the anime.
she deserved it🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
idk but Eminence in Shadow is acually becoming my favourite anime. Every Episode is just so much joy to watch. I love the story, the combat, the characters its not a production to impress everybody but to bring joy and entertain people and i love it. I acually rewatching episodes because i enjoy them so much, which i normally never ever do.
Honestly same, there's only a few shows that make me want to rewatch it and this show did it
This anime has the perfect excuse to pull every cool cliche from the book and they’re executing it nicely.
That's what I thought when I began reading the manga some years ago. It's funny, epic and just well executed. The anime may have done a few things differently, but overall it has the same story and progression. The animation is also well done which adds to this amazing story
I mean is just stupid fun
Stupid but fun
@@smokingrailgun4584yeah when i read an anime manga i usally dont go watch the anime but here i am watching both the first and 2nd seassion and think is amazing
Is very good month aswell with the farway palading emenince of shadow aot final jujutsu kisen s2 forgot how it called with the elf hero girl
And many othet anime
He broke poor Alpha's heart in this episode. Not to mention Beta and Gamma when they think Delta is dead.
13:46 what is the anime?
@@DanielSilva-gc4xz"when supernatural battles became commonplace". or InoBato.
@@zetroll0372 thank you.
In the anime you can actually see when Delta's tail hairs get cut off by one of Cid's wires. It's when she is doing all those Goku like instant transmission dodges.
It's not actually her tail, it was an accessory on her tail.
Thank you for covering this. I don’t read the LN so these videos are awesome to see what I might be missing
Gonna be honest...
This battle was better in the manga.
Don't get me wrong, its beautiful in the anime - but it doesn't have the same weight as the manga.
In the manga, she demasks Cid, revealing his identity, proves to him that she has grown strong and they have a 'sweet' moment.
I loved her last line as well - 'There you go.. turning your back on me again.'
It just felt complete.
Agree
This is so right
Completely disagree
💯
If it was following the Manga I would agree, however the anime is following the light novel.
You always make my days better man! Im happier now😊😊😊😊
Flexing on his own team : that's some different philosophy
Thank you for the upload 😎👍
this episode was the best of whole eis! delta pat, the voice actress for alpha just so awesome!
Been waiting for you to upload this
Ive been hella confused for a while
Love the content man❤
I disagree with the people saying the anime didn't do the scene justice. I think the anime did an amazing job, and the people disagreeing aren't looking at it from the perspective of Cid's character, and instead a typical protagonist's.
Cid, especially in the anime, is a very obvious larper. He creates a character and attempts to stick to it. That's who he is. He does it every arc in the series. He's also extremely unaware of the world around him, he doesn't want to nor does he believe that any of the events that transpire involving Shadow Garden are any more than his friends playing with him.
In the anime, he never breaks the John Smith character, while Alpha is actively managing to hurt him and overrun his defenses, he manages to figure out the weakness to the form and abuse it to defeat her. This is entirely in character for Cid, as he always pursues a "perfect victory" matching his goals. In the LN (Ignore the manga, the anime is based off the LN and the manga is its own thing loosely following the LN) the John Smith facade is broken because Cid is unable to exploit her weakness to a meaningful degree. Had the scene taken place on a train in the other mediums, this result would have happened.
As for the "You've grown strong", I don't think its in character for Cid, especially since he has yet to realize that this is anything more than larping and messing around. Its a good line, sure, but it doesn't make sense for the type of person hes established himself as, especially in the context provided.
Also him blasting the mist form away with his fist is the logical move for Cid, a battle junkie, to have done regardless, since a blunt object will have a larger effect on the movement of wind than a sharp object like a sword
Your mistake was, even though he was LARPing as John Smith, this time he knew the situation wasn't a joke and Alpha wasn't joking, so it made sense for him to say it.
it was cool af. thanks for the video
Thanks!
Great video. So cool. You did see this episode and have read the manga. Fantastic ❤
Excellent video🎉🎉
Gotta to say this was definitely one of my favorite arcs and can't wait to see what's next
Omggg I waited for this videoo since the moment I saw the episode
so I already seen and read everything of this series, but somehow your content is still entertaining...
thanks dude, it must be something with how you say it.
Question...should I read the original web novel or the light novel??? Which is better?!
This whole episode was a masterpiece, Alpha's VA was top of the notch and the action was just as good as the season finale of s1, but I just wish they would've included cid telling her that she got stronger. It had me so sad for alpha that she was never getting accepted by the man she admires, cares and loves and made her my fav in all of shadow garden with just this ep.
Ani, I’ll still watch these videos even tho I didn’t watch the show, just cuz I fw you so much
Let's Go! For anyone who recognizes the anime at 13:44, it was a good speech about being left behind and struggling with understanding and supporting the protagonist. It's actually my favorite moment similar to when Alpha expresses trying to catch up and understand. Still, it never being enough to follow Shadow even as real support made me think of that anime scene too. Nice, AniNews Nice!
this part of Alpha and shadow part really hit me hard in the light novel while I was able to commend shadow's dedication to his role as john smith....seeing it from Alpha's perspective as someone who really cares for shadow and wants to understand and help him but the person himself never seeming to care about it really hit hard especially as he is their strength to survive
Super cool❤
LOL...Cid and Delta skit always a top tier on this series. Cant wait for the next one when they about to confront Gettan and the story of the Delta tribe.
I am very much enjoying this arc! Like you said, it's unlikely to happen again, so the clash of powers is a fun spectacle!
As far as fights go, I think its the best so far.
Honestly i think the anime redeems cid more than the light novel since the anime after shows why cid started this whole thing. Though honestly I feel that shadow garden shpuld know that shadow has his own ambitions that may not always align with theirs. The anime even shows how Cid was originally gonna work closely with them amd have fun but since the shades had left him he decided to move on his own while allowing shadow garden to keep itself busy.
I honestly enjoyed the episode, good job John Smith
Same here. I actually prefer too, being able to hear Alpha's hurt feelings and reaching out to him. I legit feel so bad for her this episode. And Delta is still best girl. Love every scene with her.
“Stand proud Alpha, You’re Strong”
thats probably how they should've done it
Goes to show nothing can beat... EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
I'm also remembered that that clip from "When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace" when I first see alpha's speach!!!
This is what it is about!!
Decision to make all this fights be on train was fantastic in my opinion.
I loved how funny this arc was :)
I don't watch this but I just like when you tell stories
I knew that confession scene from alpha felt familiar, but holy crap, you found actually it. what amazing scenes those are, truly tugging on the heart strings.
I wish the anime had that acknowledgment of how strong Alpha is and how Shadow truly respects that. Just seeing him tell her how much she's grown is very touching. However, seeing Alpha crumble and have an emotional breakdown just hurts. It is just another moment of another character being so genuine in their behavior that Cid's naivety can be a little grating at times. I get the theme of the show, but I wish at least with those close to him such as Alpha there would be some element of him that shows he cares. I am aware he cares for them, but that is meta-knowledge. A lot of the care these characters see from him is made up in their own heads. I much rather see that to some degree seeing Alpha cry because of him bothers him if only a little. Yeah, he'd still have the same ending, but showing that her pain means something to him would indeed say something about the friendship he fostered with the Seven.
I dunno. Seeing Alpha in emotional pain is just something I feel deserves more than what we got. Especially since we're unlikely to see a situation like that again. Even if he knocked her out Vegeta style when she knocked out Kid Trunks in the Buu arc. Something that just says, I care about you, but I am doing this my way. Telling her she grew strong hits, but it just wasn't enough. I honestly, don't think it'd ruin the nature of Cid's character at all to have something more when it comes to the Seven or his sister.
Delta is perfect. That is all I can say about her. I like the way the anime, LN, and manga handled it. I can't pick which one I liked better.
im pretty sure he just think that they're very mad at him, so add that would make the readers mad
This arc is huge
All Cid's planning and he forgot Delta can still tell who he is by scent. 🤷🏿♂️🤣
He didn't forget he used perfume specifically for that but she just had too good senses
@@Shorkii. Not in the Anime to my knowledge.
he did the anime didn't explained it @@CJ-kg7yq
To be honest, he did succeed to fool Delta until he gets too close.
Cid used perfumes to hide his scent this just wasn't explained in the anime where it wasn't until Delta was pinned down and he got close enough for her to smell him properly that she realised.
I was really surprised at how damaged alpha is and how needy she is of him. Her mental collapse over not being in on what he was doing 😅
I enjoyed the Anime's portrayal of their difference in power. Between him and Alpha.
Where the anime makes it clear that even without his slime magic he can still dominate the fight.
That even if they close the gap in power and skill, his expertise and knowledge still far exceeds theirs that he'll turn your new found power against you.
Then with Delta, Cid lowering his guard and getting too close that Delta easily sniffed him out was too good.
His overconfidence only to get revealed was perfect.
Also thanks for doing this, some of the comments on some videos had me believing I was missing a lot.
I like all these changes they made tbh.
That fight got Me crying 🙆🏽♂️👌🏾😭yooo😭🔥🔥
Eminence in Shadow makes me happy. I don't know how or why, it just does
The hair that you mentioned is dropped on 4:21 of this video, it was in the battle between Delta and John Smith, (anime original)
Alpha: " i see you dodge my undodgeable strike"
Cid: " People die if they are killed"
Moment
Its funny because this arc is the one that shows how much cid cares about the girls , but the anime just kinda glosses over it. When he initially meets with the fox girl in the manga and finds out about the trade war his first thought is hell yeah mystery man mucking things uo , but that is immediately followed by " oh crap the girls are in a tight corner, i need to help them" Everyone seems to think cid doesnt care about ahadow garden but thats untrue hes just so damned chunni that instead of wanting to make them like him as the oppoosite sex he wants them to think hes cool, hell half of the setup he does for meeting the girls is solely for that reason. Its beyond me how so many people miss that especially since he hings at it multiple times , " I try to keep the things i care about to a minimum but there are always more popping up" refering to the shadow gardens recruitment. Nit to mention that each of the seven shadows and even a few if the numbers have a story about cid taking time to tuck them into bed, or read them stories, or just tell them stuff about his former world, all akwardly tucked into chunni excuses for doing it. Hell the one time the girls face a threat they cant handle (no spoilers) cid gets pissed
Loved delta vs John smith in the manga. Cid is introducing himself and delta jumps in him like a child
YEAHHHHH
I loved that clash....the weight of alpha's emotions and power of Sid's was incredible
That shit was soooo coool !
Unintentional tough love in a way
I liked this fight
13:44 why... why make us remember such a scene...
i mean, its still the best voice acted scene iv seen in any anime up to date
but...
man.
What anime is that?
@@jimmyh2137 When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace. It is an anime that is both epic and cringe at the same time. I was just happy I was not the only one who made the connection between Hatako and Alpha rant, though Hatako's was much more intense.
that's one HELL of a difference and I actually find the anime version with the non-stop train (very reminiscent to mugen train lol) to be WAAAY better executed! bravo on the studio!
Agreed. Love the train fights so much.
Best arc in emenice in the shadows
Alpha is a descended from the Legendary Hero, so it makes sense she could be Cid's equal or Better. But I assume Cid as John Smith was still holding back.
Yes
very much so yeah
Hey, good job
These manga panels are so clean!!
The John Smith arc has always been my favorite one
Oriana kingdom arc and Reverse isekai arc are miles better the f*ck are you talkin about😂😂😂
@@stepgo95 people can like what they want, i still prefer this arc but others are still great
This is by far the best Ark ❤
john smith is so cool man.
i cant belive they removed an entire fight this is a entire ep worth of cut content
Finally
At around 6:26 you can see (what I believe) where Cid got the bit of hair used to prove Delta's defeat. Was cut up during the initial bout with the string.
why is there no playlist of this? this is straight up crime XD
alpha needs alot of hugs after that
13:45 - 13:50 Didn't expect to see this, man if only it got another season; but yeah with how emotional it was for the character it was very similar
Why'd you say they didn't show him getting cut up when they did? Also man it hurt watching Alpha breakdown the way she did i really hope Cid makes things up to them.
I think he meant in comparison. As in the manga Cid was shown taking more damage versus the anime.
It doesn’t even feel like he was actually taking damage neither did it feel like he was struggling even if just a bit,that’s the problem imo,plus he never even acknowledged her strength in the anime…
BUT WHY .. IM CONFUSED
I don't recall asking for anyone's personal feelings on whether Cid looked like he took damage, i just asked why AniNews said they didn't show him taking any when they did 😕@@onesmileybaldy8303
She shredded him until he stopped playing around in the written stuff.
I think it’s just another thing for Alpha to learn. He is doing this to save them and just telling them wouldn’t have the same emphasis.
He stopped teaching them on this topic after saying he didn’t know much more but the kept going without thinking about how it could turn out. If Cid didn’t do his scheme then the cult would be rich and shadow garden would be hurting with funds and consumers trust. And power should not be the answer to bad businesses 100% of the time because it might not work.
Regarding Alpha pleading with Cid, I had the same exact thought. It felt just like that scene from InoBato! It was amazing! Alpha's VA's performance was fantastic, nearly rivaling the Hatoko's. Wish we had gotten more of that series...
The conversation between shadow and Alfa is very beautiful in manga compared to anime
Not the when supernatual battles became commonplace reference 😭
Such a dope arc, I just hope this won't lead to distrust between Shadow Garden and Shadow himself, that would make this anime fall in my eyes
Alpha ❤. Awesome Video like always.
Alpha's VA did a spectacular job this episode...
Agreed. It was completely heart wrenching.
I *really* hope that this arc ends with a satisfying counclustion. As it is, I quite like how it leaves just enough out to make us not know how it will turn out. Yes we know Cid is going to come out on top, but not how, or how others are going to be affected.
Nah he wont he still lose(money)
this arc made me want to watch anime and now read the manga once s2 finishes
"why have you abandoned the shadow garden'"
got me hooked
Man really showed a even from if supernatural powers are commonplace
Hi Aninews, I have a question. ¿Will you do cut content on The rising of the shield hero season 3?
It did not even have to happen. I am glad alpha is strong!
in the anime when he just put out his hand and stopped her seems was more brutal then the sword swing
wow glad they did a small fight with Beta and i love that Alpha seem to put up more of a fight in the manga and would have love to see that animated but i honestly cant complain about what we got. That too was good.
the best anime yapper in history
Really wish you do videos about other Animes as well
01:14 never would thought the day would come 😂😂
Would really love to see those dialogue in the anime, specially the part where alpha lean and whispers to cid's ears while they were fighting.
