I only know two Sid/Cids' and one made me cry and the other one weirds me out.

[@GateOfShadows]

Fake it till you make it

[@fabianlaibin6956]

Mostly because in an effort to sound legitimate he based his lore around actual stuff that happened in that world, never actually explained which is weird though

[@Cat-pv6yx]

Although it isn’t mentioned in this vid, Claire was abducted by the cult because she was a possessed like Alpha until Cid cured her, and a theory that actually makes sense is that Cid doing that basically amped up her already brilliant power to the point where she could potentially beat up a higher up member from the cult

[@the8bitclicker_193]

honestly, with how the story is shaping up around his words, at some point you get suspicious and you gotta wonder: does he have secret powers to make fiction a reality? or is someone making this happen as he speaks? there's no way this can be coincidence

[@mimidasmajor718]

Tehnicly it can, he could had easily overheard in his childhood mention the cult and then it got stuck to him the same way us humans do that with some words, when you learn a new word you start hearing it wayy more and apply it to some other things

[@RavenCloak13]

Nah, it's just a coincidence and he just winging it based on what he assumes would happen or thinks would be cool.

[@liamminnihan9021]

What if he is like Haruhi in the way that whatever crazy fantasies he keeps creating come true. Like the cult existing and accidentally pinpointing the exact location of the hideout that Claire was taken to.

[@GrimTzu]

Man is a psycopath straight out of the books. He never acknowledges the existence of other persons as actual "people" and he also does everything for his own benefit, not even caring about hurting the people around him (take him throwing Alpha out of a train in movement just to "look cool" as an example). He is a psychopath and I hate him, but I love the world and shadow garden so I will continue watching.

"But sid just nukes him out of existence" lol

They basically gave this anime the OPM approach by just going all in on isekai tropes

I read a comment somewhere describing this anime to be a parody of other cringe and edgy Isekai shows and I can see that, but honestly at the same time of making fun of the other shows, they had perfected this troupe, not exaggerating, this is by far the best show I’ve seen that has the “Isekai op mc with a hidden identity” troupe. I’ve seen other shows that are good too, but not with this exact troupe.e
