The Eminence in Shadow Ep 1, Release Date, Speculation, Watch Online

OP main characters have made up most of the isekai anime, but what would happen if a character didn’t want to become an overpowered hero?

Our main character doesn’t want to be a villain, so you don’t need to worry if you are too tired of villains. As far as morality and power are concerned, Cid Kagenou seems unconcerned.

It’s more likely that he’ll be a puppet master in the background, the mastermind behind every significant event. He didn’t have a choice to become a mastermind in his previous life in contemporary Japan, but he had no luck.

Cid is reincarnated in a magical world and fakes an organization called Shadow Garden to defeat a mysterious cult. His goal is to achieve true shadow supremacy and be the mastermind behind everything.

Episode 1 Speculation

Even though people dream of being heroes and villains, Cid Kagenou is not one of them. As the mastermind behind everything, he longs to pull the strings and drive the entire story with his machinations.

Formerly, he was unable to accomplish his goals in modern-day Japan. The true eminence of shadow will be visible now that he has been reborn in a world of magic!

He poses as an average mobster to recruit members for Shadow Garden, a fake organization that aims to take down the shadowy cult. It’s a comedy about Cid’s (fake) organization taking on the evil (but unexpectedly real) Diabolos Cult with plenty of ad-libs.
