[@TheFlamingdragon2]

It's genuinely just a habit of CId to imagine the fastest possible way to kill his opponents (Cid used to do this a lot with Claire as a child). It's an observed psychological effect that your body often moves a bit when you imagine yourself doing certain activities, Iris is talented enough to see through these movements, but nowhere near his level to actually go against him which makes her hallucinate death at every move. It explains perfectly why he's surprised that Iris would go all in on one move as opposed to a more drawn-out dramatic fight. Cid didn't understand the skill level of his opponent, so he was a bit disappointed.

[@Volkaer]

The look of sheer horror she gives in the end, is partly because she realises that Cid was genuinely disappointed at how weak she was as an opponent, compared to what he expected.

you're overthinking, her magic cracked the sword

[@lordsinister707]

@Vary180 you misunderstand. I'm not arguing what exactly cracked the sword. I'm saying that the cracked sword represents how her pride and confidence are cracked after Shadow defeats her so easily. I mean, the argument can be made in order to restore her confidence and pride. She joined the battle alongside Iris. But then when Shadow defeats both of them so easily. Her pride and confidence crumble completely as well

Don't worry thats basically what happened with John Smith Lmao

Then trying to find him in order to get him to fight Shadow and Shadow Garden thinking he is the only one who can stand up to them? Mundane catches wind of this, accepts, and spends an entire season setting up a perfect conflict while working as a secret double agent - and at the cusp of it all only THEN reveal that he was shadow all along, entrapping everyone in his net of despair and awe? Actually sounds exactly like something Cid would do XD

[@pavlemarjanovic1896]

The best mentality to have is: "There's always a bigger fish".

[@maximusstorm1215]

I like this scene, because you can interpret it however you want. Is it his sheer power that causes these illusions? Is it a power he is using? If he's using a power, which is it, and how? All it does is hint at the idea he may be doing more than having the intent to kill and using some sort of skill/power, but it's hard to say. I prefer it over some bullshit anime logic, like some of the stuff that comes from Baki.

[@TranscientFelix]

The coolest interpretation is that he's not doing anything, she can just literally sense, with her experience as a swordsman, just how easily he can cut her up

[@tonybadaboni]

Baki is better then this trash

[@bryanlmd5547]

He imagines the easiest way to kill her > his body moves slightly as if he was going to do it > She sees it and dives

Iris is full of herself, i kinda feel the young me inside her Like "i'm a genius" and "if i try my best, i can do it properly", vvv And life beat the hell out of me like cid do to iris

[@eZeero]

I can somewhat relate to that but for me it was a bit different. I grew up with people calling me a genius ( for a rather trivial reason in my opinion) and then with time, I proved to everyone that I wasn't and boy... the consequences and punishments that I received for not being one... yikes XD It's kinda f*cked to grow up in a family like that. Edit: I never really viewed myself as a genius and if anything, the things that I was decently good at, was all because of me working hard at them. Life can be quite a b*tch. XD Editnr2: In my family tree... everyone aside from me thus far, is good at something. Exceptionally good, I dare say. But the reason I was called a genius amongst them was because when I was barely 3 years old, I solved a mysterious puzzle that my family and relatives couldn't for weeks. I did that in 5 seconds or so every time they gave it to me apparently.

[@junelcabudoc7187]

​@@eZeero This could happened when you unintentionally be more outstanding in your own clan. Mostly the Asian culture was like this. If your family notice something that they can be proud of then they will tell your other relatives what are your special skills, knowledge, abilities that normal people can do, etc. Then the clan would assume and increased their expectations that you will have a better life than them. That you could possibly make your life and live at the top. And here's LIFE tryna f*ck everythings up. 😅 You'll going to face the things that you'll never imagined that could happend to you. So expect the unexpected. 😂 Be careful because sometimes you may lose your confidence. That's the only key to face those shits in life. 😂

Up till now, I'm not entirely sure whether Shadow was actually reaching her in superspeed mode and feinting a real cut like how he did to his sister in the earlier episodes or whether Iris' spidey senses were tingling

[@yhwh5568]

he didn't cut Claire just like with Iris, he visualized ways on how he could end the fight in the quickest way possible Claire sensed those (tho not as vivid as Iris) and learned from Cid Iris however straight up hallucinated and felt the scenario because that's just how strong she is

Yo, Princess Iris, with your sword so weak, You claim to be powerful, but you're just a red streak, Defeated by Shadow, you're a mere silhouette, Your friend Beatrix can't save you, you're in Shadow Garden's debt. Oh, Princess Iris, with your fiery hair, You think you're a queen, but it's just a glare, You're ridiculous, your pride's out of view, Alexia's the real deal, she outshines you! You swagger around with your delusions of might, But when it comes to battle, you're out like a light, Defeated by Shadow, you're a faded glow, Your reign's over, it's time for you to go. Beatrix can't save you from your own demise, In the world of warriors, you're just a prize, Your red hair may shine, but your spirit's frail, In the face of defeat, you surely pale. You thought you were powerful, a force to be feared, But in the end, your reign disappeared, Shadow's shadow engulfed your vain fight, Princess Iris, you're lost in the night. So take your defeat, wear it like a crown, In the battle of warriors, you're nowhere to be found, Shadow's triumph echoes, your tale is through, Princess Iris, Shadow Garden bows to the true!
