Due to his formidable shadow power, Cid Kagenou, the anime's protagonist, has never given away even a little bearing of fear on his face. However, fans of the series were amazed to discover that the only person who can intimidate him is Claire Kagenou, his elder sister.

Although Cid has never shown any attachment towards his sister, he has always been obedient and respected her like a doting little brother. According to him, he has accomplished 70% of his Bushin Festival goals after defeating Annerose in the tournament. Achieving the remaining 30% won’t be strenuous for the protagonist, but he will be surprised after finding out who his next opponent will be.

Episode 19 of The Eminence in Shadow, titled Odoru Ningyō, which translates to "Dancing Doll," will see the epic swordplay between Mundane Mann and princess Iris Midgar. The recently dropped preview teaser of the episode shows Iris at a great disadvantage as she dealt with critical wounds during the fight.

However, since she won the tournament by getting her hands on the Bushin Festival Tournament award, it can be surmised that Cid (posing as Mundane Mann) willingly lost the fight. In the meantime, Rose Oriana will be infiltrating the tournament to seek revenge by killing Perv Asshat, the person who is using the King of Oriana as his puppet. Rose will run into Beta and her division of the Shadow Garden.


A brief recap on episode 18 of The Eminence in Shadow

Disappointed by how her younger brother kept breaking promises, Claire strangled Cid as he didn’t spend summer vacations with her back home. The sister gave her Bushin Festival ticket to Cid and asked him to show up to watch her become a champion. Moreover, he was surprised to learn that his sister gave him a VIP ticket as he sat beside princess Iris Midgar and the other royalties.

Cid was vexed after his “background character” persona got ruined after a “named character,” Iris, apologized on behalf of the past allegations. The former once again ran into Beatrix, and after having some small talk, they gave burgers to each other. Later in epsiode 18, Iris was surprised to see Perv showing up at the tournament.

Believing she had completed her research on Mundane’s every move, Annerose tried to beat him in terms of speed. However, the latter’s research went in vain after the former increased his speed, leaving the afterimages behind. Annerose resorted to aiming for a counterattack, but yet again, her calculations wronged her, as she was defeated by Mundane’s exception control of his spacing.

Elsewhere, Iris was surprised to see the War Goddess, Beatrix, showing up at the Bushin Festival tournament. Cid was relieved that he accomplished 70% of his Bushin Festival goals with the help of “Miss Not-Seeing,” Annerose Nichtsehen. After finding Claire waiting for him outside his apartment, Cid was terrified as he broke another promise he had made to her.
