Shadow Garden’s mission to destroy the Cult of Diablos will continue in The Eminence in Shadow episode 3, which will be released in less than a week. After being hit by a truck, Kagenou was reborn in a world where his dream of becoming the most powerful hero can become a reality. Shortly after arriving in this new world, he began working on his dream, with the help of an unexpected ally.
In the last episode, we saw Kagenou begin his life as Cid, the son of a noble from the Midgar Kingdom. We also saw the creation of Shadow Garden, the organization Kagenou founded to take down the evil cult. The Eminence in Shadow episode 3 will further develop Cid’s role as the most powerful being, as well as explain why the Seven Shadows chose to leave.

What to expect from The Eminence in Shadow episode 3?
Despite the odds being against him, Kagenou managed to uncover the best-kept secret in the entire Midgar Kingdom, the Cult of Diablos. Everything the boy said to Alpha in his heroic speech turned out to be true, as proven by the events of episode 2. Sadly, Cid still believes that he fabricated everything, unaware of the danger that is threatening his new home.
The Eminence in Shadow episode 3 will most likely continue developing Cid’s character, as well as his power and influence all over the new world he woke up in. In just a couple of years, the boy created an organization that took down a secret hideout of the cult. We may witness what he is capable of doing when he is not kept under constant vigilance by his parents.
However, the mystery of why the Seven Shadows wished to abandon him remains to be solved. The girls proved their undying loyalty and devotion to Kagenou in episode 2. The fact that Alpha, his most loyal underling, was the one to announce their departure shocked fans. The Eminence in Shadow episode 3 will give fans the answer as to why Alpha and the rest are leaving.
What happened in the last episode?
The Eminence in Shadow episode 2 began with Kagenou in the body of a newborn baby. The show followed our hero as he grew up, showcasing his strength and powerful magic abilities. He began his organization, Shadow Garden, after saving an elf girl from a curse that made her look like a monster. Since then, the organization has kept growing, with more and more girls joining.
When Kagenou was thirteen-years-old, his sister was kidnapped, and it was up to him to go save her. By pure chance, our hero discovered a secret hideout of the Cult of Diablos. He defeated the captain of the fortress in a few seconds, proving his superiority. The episode ended with Alpha and the rest of Shadow Garden saying goodbye to Cid.
