What to expect from The Eminence in Shadow episode 5
Episode 5 of The Eminence in Shadow is titled Ai Amu......, which literally translates to "I Am." The anime recently dropped a preview teaser for the fifth episode that gave a brief glimpse of the upcoming episode showing how Cid will face Zenon. He might also reveal his true identity to Alexia.
The teaser also revealed that Cid had awakened a sword that he deems to be the mightiest in the Kingdom of Midgar. While the true potential of the blade is still a mystery, fans are in for a real treat when the fifth episode airs.
Moreover, Iris Midgar, the elder sister of Alexia, who is regarded as the strongest Dark Knight of the Kingdom of Midgar, will show how powerful she is when she goes toe-to-toe with the monster unleashed in the Capitol.
A short recap of episode 4
Alexia found herself inside a run-down cellar where she was bound by magic-sealing chains. A scientist approached her and took her blood samples, claiming they contained the power to unleash a demon. Elsewhere, Cid was tortured by Midgar officials for being the prime suspect behind Alexia’s kidnap.
Cid was released on Iris' orders. Reunited with Cid, Alpha and Beta detail their next move and how Shadow Garden expanded with more than 100 personnel. Cid then slaughtered the officials who tortured him and the two men who were tailing him.
The mad scientist injected Alexia’s blood into the creature in the next cellar, which became a giant monster and started wreaking havoc around the Capitol before killing the scientist and helping Alexia escape. Zenon revealed to Alexia that he was the person behind her kidnapping. Cid then approached Zenon and Alexia and introduced himself as Shadow.
