The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13 was never in the cards

Unlike Season 1, which ran for 20 episodes, The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 was slated for just 12 episodes. Due to the out-of-the-common episode count of the first season, fans expected the same with the sequel.

However, disappointingly, Cid and his Shadow Garden won’t be returning next week in The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13. On the bright side, fans can rejoice in the fact that the anime is finally getting a movie adaptation that has caught everyone by surprise.

Unlike the last time before confirming Season 2, the anime generated anticipation by teasing a “mystery announcement,” adding an element of intrigue to the reveal, which certainly caused a wave of excitement among the fandom.

For what had been revealed all of a sudden, fans were definitely not prepared. Additionally, it can be said that the news and excitement for the movie have somehow alleviated the frustration of lacking The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13 in the equation.

If the sequel were to span 20 episodes, paralleling the format of Season 1, The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13 and beyond would have a place in the schedule. This arises from the potential adaptation of the entire fourth volume within the extended episode count.

An anime adaptation of the series was announced on February 26, 2021, produced by Nexus and helmed by Kazuya Nakanishi.

Cid Kagenou has a dream. Not of being some typical protagonist or the Final Boss-he has his eyes set on becoming a hidden mastermind working in the shadows! Now that he’s been reborn in another world, Cid has been hard at work building the perfect stage to act out his long-desired role. The only issue? His imaginary adversaries and plot devices seem to actually exist in this new realm…and he alone is left in the dark!
