John Smith vs Shadow Garden ｜ The Eminence In Shadow Season 2 Episode 5

They got what they deserve for not bringing the train tickets 😂

Props to animation team for animating John Smith manipulating the wires by moving his fingers erratically. It's a definite step up compared to other wire users like Walter C. Dornez who just twitches a finger and suddenly people die.

The most charming, lovable, charismatic villain to fight against Shadow Garden : JOHN CE... I mean... JOHN SMITH!

In hindsight, the thread are a clue its Shadow. The magically reinforced thread cannot be cut by the slime dagger. Magic is more difficult to control the farther it is from the body (its why Epsilon's sword beams and Aurora's blood magic are seen as outstanding shows of mastery) and the threads have a much lower mana conductivity than the daggers. Which means it needs to be someone with an insane mana capacity, surgical levels of control and enough martial skills to manipulate the wires with such precision that they can handle 3 opponnents at once. The only person they know that fits the bill is Shadow

This John Smith guy seems busted. Can't wait to see the fight between him and Shadow......

Imagine cid’s reaction if they actually had train tickets

John Smith's fingers of threads manipulating: EXIST Kazuma's fingers: Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!!!

0:28 my reaction: “mmm ehhh nice”

I mean it's obvious, but even in his John Smith persona, Cid never try to go serious and hurt any of the Shadow Garden members, even when they see him as hostile and basically want to kill him.

John Smith: GET OFF MY TRAIN! [Air Force one BGM]

Toss the Gold coin thats his main weakness

man im still cant get over they actually got Jun fukuyama to voice solely for John Smith exactly who i wanted to voice him

This whole scene hits so hard. The animation, voice acting, the music. Utter perfection.

I love how he roughs them up just enough to call it a fight, but not any more than they can’t handle

You know this episode of Cid being John Smith is just him fucking around and having fun

it's going to get real good after this 😂 can't wait next few episodes.

Imagine John Smith asking for the tickets and the trios like, here you go....would be truly hilarious.

Imagine being just a recruit a d ur first mission is to face ur godly big boss 😂

John smith version of cid is very elegant and badass,he reminds me of julius kingsley version of leuloch
