The crowbar part of the fight has got to be one of the greatest callbacks in anime. It ties the entire first season together completely. It’s also just a really good flex of his skills. The season’s last “atomic” is also just a great flex as well. I perfectly understand Iris’s despair in that moment, because she basically faced absolute oblivion in that moment, and instead of that oblivion taking her life, from an outsider perspective it seemed like shadow just thought Iris wasn’t strong enough for him to use atomic, and instead her life was spared, seemingly thought to be insignificant.
Bro this entire show is one big flex I find it funny cause shadow is literally trolling them the whole fight he could easily kill them but doesn’t I get iris and understand her despair there was literally nothing she could do the whole fight and she knew ii
I agree with you. You can see each I am Atomic is different and sparks a whole new level of power the first I am atomic is like hes testing it out when he says it I am Atomic BOOM he levels half a city with it the second time though hes being a bit more serious I Am The All Range ...Atomic BOOM he levels the base and inflicts massive damage this time he puts more emphasis on each word and is more serious as he knows its time to end the game this one though hes done playing around. This is the end game, were gonna showoff just how out classed you are I... AM.... (just kidding) Boom big flash of light and hes gone with the knowledge that he couldve wiped an entire kingdom off the map the way he emphasizes EACH Word of the attack I AMMMM boom hes showing playtimes over kids mr nice shadows left the building while at the same time he then says nah just kididng it was a bluff really neat effort by the animators and Voice actors in this one
the moment he blocks an artifact by what is considered one of the most skilled swordfighters in the kingdom, and the astonishment of Iris afterwards, I cannot recall how many times I have rewatched this. the last episode was absolutely amazing.
Why does no one realize that shadow literally cleared the sky of it’s rain clouds with his atomic at the end of the fight with Iris and Beatrix. This leads more to their shocked expressions at the end, seeing cleared skies show’s astonishing power
what a lot of people don't realize is that the mana field is typically restricted to certain body parts. Beatrix can do it as a full body as she is the pinnacle of power in that world then Shadow just casually envelops a whole city with it.
that's just the animators added it in as a cool easter egg but if you had paid attention from the time where Aurora and Cid met, she made a note that what he did was something that is crazy. Meaning that even she can't do it in that magnitude.@@adib3011
I'm 99% sure he said "I'M AM... shadow". I fits perfectly with lipsync and shows that Cid has finally become an eminence in shadow he wished as child. Edit: I'm saying this bc, in japanese, they can say "Shadow" as "シャドウ" (Sha-Do-U) or just "シャドー" (Sha-Do-O). So i'm, once again, 99% sure he said Shadow as "シャドウ" (Sha-Do-U). Knowing how chunni he is. (Yes, Ik they don't pronounce the extended volcal. But Cid is chunni af and maybe he pronounces like that and thinks "Hell yea this is fire" .)
Thats what i thought when i watched it too since the image of him in front of the tv as a kid is used before when referring to him having the initial dream of becoming an eminence in shadow
him calling the artifact a crutch is because she accused him of only gaining his power from one. So him mocking her for using one herself is likely a reference to that.
More than that. It really is a crutch. Instead of bettering herself she decided to rely on a tool to carry the load of her trying to keep up. She had no faith in her ability to adapt so is using a gadget to make up the difference. Instead of learning to walk on a new foot when the old one is gone she hobbles along with a stick.
@@chaitanyarathi1422 well the Anime does do its own little spinoffs so its possible she can be shown around somewhere but besides that yea she wont be seen in season 2
your confusion there in the end is that on japan atomic is mostly spelled "A-TO-MI-CU" , and as a child cid wouldn't be able to proper spell foreign languages ... thus he send his own attack to the sky and the massive power of it cleared it entirely past the kingdom's border
Nope, it was yamero (STOP IT) because killing them is not a cool move, it goes against his principle and his dream to kill an innocent people. Killing bandit is justifiable but killing the innocent bystander was not. In a fight that involve a big scale, he always scanning the life of people before he commit the big act. Take for example when he use the first atomic, he already knows that no people or citizen were on the strike zone and protect Alexia from his atomic. In the last fight, he saw the building as no one was there because he already scan that places.
@@deenszxking6818 also also ... he din't scan the city , a procced to spare alexia as witness, on the second time he flooded a city cuz he could (like nobody ever died in floods... and in the last fight he enveloped the whole kingdom and not only the building, and send the nuke up to the skies cuz it would look cooler than killin all witnesses, and even still by the end of the episode he admited he exagerated meaning he got carried away in the act(living the dream)...
The crowbars in the final fight were anime only, not in the manga, but 100% the BEST callback. I suspect he actually said "I am an atom" at the end. Because its a tiny atomic. The lip reading looks like he could be saying that too.
@@ollievirus6695 I'd say that the manga's comedic tone is overall better than the LN which the anime is based of, but the anime certainly drives the cool factor.
A bit wrong. In the Light Novel it was mentioned that after the knee hammer Shadow stopped moving for a moment. Beatrix saw this opportunity to attack two times. The first attack was to destroy his posture. And the second is a follow up attack. After Cid lost his posture he dodged so low that it looked like that he was crawling and dodged so low that Cid was out of Beatrix view. He Grabbed her etc etc. 7:32 it was not that he was scared that his 99% slime sword would break. It was because he had no posture.
@@SeriesZapadded my thoughts in the comments of that video, another good upload but I did have some criticism, I do agree with the pinned Comment of that video about Cid focusing on the basics, Mastering them in the process rather than just showing off for Alexia, she even mentions that it's like looking in a mirror when they spar before she gets kidnapped in the story, I think. I don't have the courage to upload a video so props for sticking with it, you're definitely doing a good job!
Iris had no clue she didnt stand a chance till AFTER the fight and even then still refuses to accept it by ignoring everything she hears weither shadows advice, beatrix's advice or anyone else. Honestly her mind is so centered around pride and arrogance in a certain way that it irritates me because damn take the L and learn your not his match, learn there is always someone stronger than you, your at the top when NOT including behind the scenes things but when you do include those then everyone is better than her behindthe scenes. She is not willing to learn, improve, calm and collected to do anything about it is why her mindset/personality piss me off. If someone gets the perspective im thinking of. I'm not saying I don't like iris overall basically it is my immaturity/naivety and obliviousness that doesn't see the bigger picture in this scenario so I could be dead wrong. On top of this my analysis can be off since a specific way she does certain things is riling up my emotions when honestly I don't feel irritated at all in mind if you get what I mean.. idk how to explain it, one or the other idk im not used to that feeling
It's like the mindset of someone who peaked highly in when they were just a child Being constantly bombarded with shit like "wow you're so talented" " wow you're so strong as expected of a genius" and etc It makes them arrogant and ignorant that it essentially slows down their growth I mean if almost everyone tells you you're the best why do you have to listen to someone below you. And when faced with the reality that someone is actually better than them it makes them reject those people saying stuff like they're cheating(iris saying shadow is using artifacts in the first I am atomic) and other things that invalidate the other work in their eyes. Its desperation and anxiety that makes iris narrow minded thats exactly the reason she lost against mundane man without 1 actually attack She's so desperate on winning she hasn't looked at the bigger picture and didn't realize mundane man wasn't even holding his sword.
I would kindly disagree. While pride is a major factor of her character, she loves her kingdom sees herself as her kingdom's strongest protector. Of course she'd be frustrated and reluctant to accept the L cause to her, accepting the L is like accepting that her kingdom should just be destroyed since she's too weak to protect it. And while we do know that Cid is just playing around, no character in the manga/anime knows or even would believe that he's just playing around for fun, and Iris is no different so she would of course be scared of Cid's 'Eminence in Shadow' persona since the whole shtick is that he's mysterious.
@@robbieaulia6462 oh yeah completely missed that part of her character But yeah her narrow minded view of the situation led her to fight the completely wrong organization even before the blackmail while the cult lurks in their government officials
@@shirokun39She's 420% overfilled with pride. Remember the scene when her dad scolds her about not investigating a princess of another nation who attempted murder during perhaps the biggest multi-national annual event? He asserts good reasons to not intervene, and she still presses on with desperation. She prides herself excessively on her accomplishments and has to accomplish 1 more thing. It's far more for ego-feeding than peace or politics. Womanchild stormed out of the office into a literal weather storm. She was deathly afraid of Mundane 1 hit killing her at the mere sight of finger twitches
@@philosopherkingzant2037 i agree she literally like a child who gets mad everytime when things don't go her way but it's pretty funny to think that someone who's just slightly better at mana control than delta and gamma(shadow literally gave up training them) is considered a genius while breaking every sword she uses
Conclusions of the test: Iris: -Reflexes: 4/10 Above the average people, but subpar. -Swordsmanship: 2/10 Too focused on power.

bro studied habahaha , nah im kidding good explanation of iris as she is powerful in the eyes of the city and her"heroric actions" but in the eyes of true warriors like shadow and beatrix they both seem to think that she is weak she relies on power too much compared to alexia who focuses on technique beatrix mainly focused on awareness and reflexes but with her reflexes are sharp to be able to understand shadow moves but shadow begin 1 step ahead outsmarts her her swordsman ship is nearly a 10 but i agree with you on it begin an 8 but she was unlucky to be facing off with shadow whose stats are maxed out but overalll it think she a solid character in shadows eyes and even one of the most powerful opponents shadow has faced off besides the 7 shadows and even the vampire queen and aurora i hope you see this comment
@musicalmather1160 Any of the Seven Shades could defeat Iris. The only ones she has a minimal chance of defeating are Gamma (because of her clumsiness) and Eta (because she can't function well enough for a prolonged battle due to her sleep disorder). And even then, it's a bit of a stretch if she could even win against these two, seeing as they have been trained and empowered by Shadow.
Yup, TES actually has pretty strong lore, an interesting story, and great characterization. Though, all that tends to get lost in all the "funny isekai man being a chuuni" comments.
I was wondering if you could do a video talking about the parallels between Iris and Rose. - Both are the first Princesses bearing heavy responsibilities. - Iris was sheltered her whole life and has narrow-minded views while Rose was given freedom to explore and learn. - Iris believed protecting her people is by defeating whatever opponent in front of her. Rose, after learning from Shadow, that she must do things that her people won't like in order to protect them. - Iris sees the Sun but refuses to see it and see the truth. Rose looks up to the Moon and tries to grab something that was impossible.
It makes sense he didn't say "atomic". He cancelled the magic and left. It was a show (and he didn't want the entire capital obliterated just to prove a small point). He didn't create the bright light. That's just the midday sun after the world was made dark-ish purple (and the clouds removed by his ambient mana). It looks extra bright to them initially just like how sudden light after being in the dark can be a bit blinding.
He didn't cancel the magic. Up to and through the whole fight it is raining heavily. What he did do is redirect the attack to the sky and blew away the weather above and around the entire capital. Basically demonstrating his power without blowing them away with it.
@@Blitzwaffen No, he didn't. I have no clue what it says in the Light Novel or Manga but in the anime that is not what is shown at all. In the anime the "shocking" part was his abrupt disappearance when he was about to unleash. It was the fear and trepidation that went semi-unfulfilled. In case you have never noticed, when he "actually" unleashes an Atomic it creates a raw purple blast of power for what is implied to be a minute or minutes. Not only is there zero blast shown (not even one above them contained in the sky) but there is zero time this can even occur in; he disappeared before as he was mouthing the last word and the blast can only be activated afterwards. Lastly, in case you really weren't paying attention to the show, he can only cast I Am Atomic within the bounded area he creates beforehand. You are trying to say he created a bounded area the size of the city, and then not only let out a seconds worth of Atomic, which is not only not seen or sensed by the viewer or the in-verse characters despite being pure mana overload (and thus impossible to miss for anyone with Mana), but also was targeted in a spot that is either out of his already created bounded area or at best in only one small part of his bounded area (when all previous examples and nature of the bounded area would tell us the entire things explodes with mana, the boundary is to keep it escaping). There are so many nonsensical parts if that is what the animators wanted to show it isn't even funny.
@@rowanmales3430 for a dude talking about light being blinding you sure are blind yourself. Your taking a purposely shi and giggles show and over analyzing it and being way too serious when obviously how can you NOT notice a HEAVILY raining storm over the entire kingdom and after the fight nothing is there at all. Now that is blinding and funny to miss in its own way and replace it with whats basically iris's mindset of must be a artifact 🕵 when obviously heavily rain over capital, not there at all anymore after the fight "no he didnt" honestly it feels like your rivaling iris's pride or ego but in maybe a different direction from her thoughtlessness
@@rowanmales3430in LN he didn't use Atomic, he just clear the sky. The fighting also restricted to Colosseum not entire city, i do like the change they made though😅. Consider he has variations of I Am Atomic, i won't reject the possibility of defense type of I Am Atomic.
@@zbigbozbboy5245 I'm glad he didn't use I Am Atomic in the LN either, and yeah it was seriously cool to see him place the entire city in his zone. I doubt he has a defensive version of I Am Atomic, but it's also the sort of thing we'll probably never know since he won't ever need it. I mean, I Am Atomic is just pure mana overload. It's already something that absolutely destroys anything it comes into contact with, and considering he alone can survive being in it... well... isn't it like the perfect offensive AND defensive thing all at once. What would you even hypothetically want in a defensive I Am Atomic? Something that vaporizes the attack coming your way effectively making you completely untouchable? Regular Atomic already does all that while also destroying the vicinity offensively. It's basically an "I have invincibility" from a defensive perspective already.
Hidive is showing s2 as it comes out and it’s also dubbed. Up to ep 8 I think now? Just thought I’d say something, cuz the vampire technique is explained quickly into the Lost City
A little error during his fight against beatrix in the crowd. Although the civillians aren't moving, the raindrops are falling normally which indicates time is moving normally as well... Unless the civillians are slow as heck..
I'm confused, the animators decided the humans couldn't move, this guy says is because they're moving too fast. But then how come the rain is moving normal?
I’m gonna say that this man absolutely violated beartrix and iris in battle like my man disrespected them and even said to iris is that a magic sword and iris reply’s it’s underhanded and the vid says no Oi need the handycap like bruh disrespect
If I remember right they were just something he picked up. It was a bit of a taunt saying he doesn't even need a real sword to engage in swordplay with the likes of them. I think Beatrix brushed it off but Iris was enraged at being looked down on like that.
@@jacobfreeman5444 not quite, in his previous life he actually practiced using crowbars to fight because he thought they could be good weapons, he tried to use them similarly to some fancy weapon to defeat thugs who kidnapped a girl from his school but eventually gave in and used it simply to bash their skulls in since it was difficult to use them the first way.

bro studied habahaha , nah im kidding good explanation of iris as she is powerful in the eyes of the city and her"heroric actions" but in the eyes of true warriors like shadow and beatrix they both seem to think that she is weak she relies on power too much compared to alexia who focuses on technique
beatrix mainly focused on awareness and reflexes but with her reflexes are sharp to be able to understand shadow moves but shadow begin 1 step ahead outsmarts her her swordsman ship is nearly a 10 but i agree with you on it begin an 8 but she was unlucky to be facing off with shadow whose stats are maxed out but overalll it think she a solid character in shadows eyes and even one of the most powerful opponents shadow has faced off besides the 7 shadows and even the vampire queen and aurora
i hope you see this comment
and Iris is supposed to be the strongest dark knight lol
@musicalmather1160 Any of the Seven Shades could defeat Iris. The only ones she has a minimal chance of defeating are Gamma (because of her clumsiness) and Eta (because she can't function well enough for a prolonged battle due to her sleep disorder). And even then, it's a bit of a stretch if she could even win against these two, seeing as they have been trained and empowered by Shadow.
0:16 only noticed it when reading the thing at the corner lmao
I am shadow; this name and this form stands before you are my truth.
Great video, hope you keep up!
Here from the reddit side! Nice analysis!
I did not realize how deep this goes, god I love this anime
edit: Subbed
Yup, TES actually has pretty strong lore, an interesting story, and great characterization. Though, all that tends to get lost in all the "funny isekai man being a chuuni" comments.
@@term02 I will 100% say this is the most well written anime out there
that was really well put together good luck
I was wondering if you could do a video talking about the parallels between Iris and Rose.
- Both are the first Princesses bearing heavy responsibilities.
- Iris was sheltered her whole life and has narrow-minded views while Rose was given freedom to explore and learn.
- Iris believed protecting her people is by defeating whatever opponent in front of her. Rose, after learning from Shadow, that she must do things that her people won't like in order to protect them.
- Iris sees the Sun but refuses to see it and see the truth. Rose looks up to the Moon and tries to grab something that was impossible.
They are moving so fast that humans do not move, but rain still does. So dumb.
I thought he said "Kagenou"
Cid/shadow has been testing his opponent all this time
The boy says “ Adam” like Adam bomb, aka atomic bomb
Subscribed. Just hope I won't get spoiled from thumbnails and video titles in the future.
It makes sense he didn't say "atomic". He cancelled the magic and left. It was a show (and he didn't want the entire capital obliterated just to prove a small point). He didn't create the bright light. That's just the midday sun after the world was made dark-ish purple (and the clouds removed by his ambient mana). It looks extra bright to them initially just like how sudden light after being in the dark can be a bit blinding.
He didn't cancel the magic. Up to and through the whole fight it is raining heavily. What he did do is redirect the attack to the sky and blew away the weather above and around the entire capital. Basically demonstrating his power without blowing them away with it.
@@Blitzwaffen No, he didn't.
I have no clue what it says in the Light Novel or Manga but in the anime that is not what is shown at all.
In the anime the "shocking" part was his abrupt disappearance when he was about to unleash. It was the fear and trepidation that went semi-unfulfilled.
In case you have never noticed, when he "actually" unleashes an Atomic it creates a raw purple blast of power for what is implied to be a minute or minutes. Not only is there zero blast shown (not even one above them contained in the sky) but there is zero time this can even occur in; he disappeared before as he was mouthing the last word and the blast can only be activated afterwards. Lastly, in case you really weren't paying attention to the show, he can only cast I Am Atomic within the bounded area he creates beforehand. You are trying to say he created a bounded area the size of the city, and then not only let out a seconds worth of Atomic, which is not only not seen or sensed by the viewer or the in-verse characters despite being pure mana overload (and thus impossible to miss for anyone with Mana), but also was targeted in a spot that is either out of his already created bounded area or at best in only one small part of his bounded area (when all previous examples and nature of the bounded area would tell us the entire things explodes with mana, the boundary is to keep it escaping). There are so many nonsensical parts if that is what the animators wanted to show it isn't even funny.
@@rowanmales3430 for a dude talking about light being blinding you sure are blind yourself. Your taking a purposely shi and giggles show and over analyzing it and being way too serious when obviously how can you NOT notice a HEAVILY raining storm over the entire kingdom and after the fight nothing is there at all. Now that is blinding and funny to miss in its own way and replace it with whats basically iris's mindset of must be a artifact 🕵 when obviously heavily rain over capital, not there at all anymore after the fight "no he didnt" honestly it feels like your rivaling iris's pride or ego but in maybe a different direction from her thoughtlessness
@@rowanmales3430in LN he didn't use Atomic, he just clear the sky. The fighting also restricted to Colosseum not entire city, i do like the change they made though😅. Consider he has variations of I Am Atomic, i won't reject the possibility of defense type of I Am Atomic.
@@zbigbozbboy5245 I'm glad he didn't use I Am Atomic in the LN either, and yeah it was seriously cool to see him place the entire city in his zone. I doubt he has a defensive version of I Am Atomic, but it's also the sort of thing we'll probably never know since he won't ever need it. I mean, I Am Atomic is just pure mana overload. It's already something that absolutely destroys anything it comes into contact with, and considering he alone can survive being in it... well... isn't it like the perfect offensive AND defensive thing all at once. What would you even hypothetically want in a defensive I Am Atomic? Something that vaporizes the attack coming your way effectively making you completely untouchable? Regular Atomic already does all that while also destroying the vicinity offensively.
It's basically an "I have invincibility" from a defensive perspective already.
Hidive is showing s2 as it comes out and it’s also dubbed. Up to ep 8 I think now? Just thought I’d say something, cuz the vampire technique is explained quickly into the Lost City
Ooooh u didn't know that when he said while animal was Irish and her sister, I thought he was saying it to beatix
A little error during his fight against beatrix in the crowd. Although the civillians aren't moving, the raindrops are falling normally which indicates time is moving normally as well... Unless the civillians are slow as heck..
I'm confused, the animators decided the humans couldn't move, this guy says is because they're moving too fast. But then how come the rain is moving normal?
Shadow is just like that sometimes, also this video shows how good the dub is
The character’s name: “Beatrix”
Author of the video: “Bed chicks”
Cid is such an edge lord i love it :D
shadow just want to act cool, nothing complicated idiology or something more, ....
Anyone PLEASE!!! Where can I purchase this Anime... Cheers in advance
it's free on 9anime, no need to purchase anything, season 1 is on there and season 2 is releasing new episodes every wednesday
So...this is basically Dragon Ball without the whole Character Development.
At 8:00 the Japanese version hits different, it’s so much better.
He's soo meee
I always imagined Shadow and the Garden with British accents... more refined and threatening...
I’m gonna say that this man absolutely violated beartrix and iris in battle like my man disrespected them and even said to iris is that a magic sword and iris reply’s it’s underhanded and the vid says no Oi need the handycap like bruh disrespect
4:00 it kinda doesn't make sense at all cuz even the rain would be stopped as well as everything in the world moving you know
Yey
Whats with the origami at the end?
Some kinda behind the scenes date with Cid. There is no info from the game, too.
it is the burger wrapper that Cid gave to her. She make it into origami as memento to Cid.
I heard from novels readers that Iris will join the Diablos or sth in the future, is it true?
Obviously, he cancelled the attack XD
opponents
Name?
4:08 The Crowbars where made by his slime swords, not just picked up
Nope, they were at the construction site. Otherwise they would have been shown returning to shadow as slime when they broke.
If I remember right they were just something he picked up. It was a bit of a taunt saying he doesn't even need a real sword to engage in swordplay with the likes of them. I think Beatrix brushed it off but Iris was enraged at being looked down on like that.
@@jacobfreeman5444 not quite, in his previous life he actually practiced using crowbars to fight because he thought they could be good weapons, he tried to use them similarly to some fancy weapon to defeat thugs who kidnapped a girl from his school but eventually gave in and used it simply to bash their skulls in since it was difficult to use them the first way.
@@dragonkidkai5330 I thought he said something about liking them because they're similar to tonfa?
@@dylandurand3352 yeah probably something like that
Great video 10/10 . But using dub 😢
CZcams recommended this video
I'm curious, but would it not be easier to watch Dub than Sub? What is the downside that makes people hate dub so much? 🤔
@@SeriesZap the subtitle audio is better and voice acting doesn’t distract you from the show . the majority of anime sounds terrible in English
(Some exceptions always exist)
Go watch reincarnated as a slime dub vs sub
A huge offender
Iris is best girl
The english dub of Why would I run honestly gave me more chills than the japenese voiceline
For once the anime is better than the manga
I dont know why but the english dub isn't as good as a japanese dub. Shadows personates voice sounds waaaay better by the japanese VA.
Dude It just sound so cringe I don't know if its your accent or because your making it sound so serious XD but if u like doing this than whatever u do u bro
I REFUSE TO SUBSCRIBE TO A CZcamsR WHO WATCHES ANIME IN DUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm curious, but would it not be easier to watch Dub than Sub? What is the downside that makes people hate dub so much? 🤔
@@SeriesZap u wouldn't get it while asking the reason evennif i explain. but u will get it after getting used to watching in sub and after that if u watch dub u will understand
@@EverLastingLov True
@@SeriesZapdub voice for the wolf girl is why compared to the sub version, watch them talk side by side and you will understand why. I find shadow dub amazing but some side charecter ruin it with their dub so ppl opt for sub to be safe.
As someone who watches sub even when it has dub
I watch shadow garden dubbed then replay epic moments in sub to compare
bro dub was so bad for this anime
I am sorry, but I can't watch this video withour cringing when hearing the dub.
i will maintain that most English dubs of anime are truly awful and fail to capture the feeling of the original dialogue
The dub is really meh compared to the sub
The eng dub is SO bad, i know writer are hilriously incompetent but there are situations where the voiceactor couldve puled it off but dam its so bad.
