Id say Cid is ironic in a way since he is both Saitama and King of this universe. He is the super OP MC, who at the same time gets credit from his harem/underlings who believe he is this mad genius ala King getting credit for dumb luck.
So the million dollar question, is Cid a reality warper and everything is bending to his will, is there a god who is secretly pulling the strings in the background to bend the world to Cid's delusions, or are we supposed to believe he has some maxed out luck stat and the world simply bends to his will and everything is sheer coincidence. I hope the author has an explanation but I almost feel like he/she will hand wave it, and never explain it ala a macguffin. Also the other important question, who is actually in harem? Is it just the shadow garden girls? Are all of them even in the harem? From the manga other than Alpha I cant tell if the other shadow girls are supposed to be harem members. Id guess the princess, sister, and maybe the hoodie magic girl are also supposed to be harem members. |

The part where Cid betrays her makes it pretty clear that she has feelings for him. The idea that he had abandoned them basically drives her comatose and she can't muster the ability to even pretend to care about anything else.

Oh i thought alpha was a given after the scene where he eats her sandwich, and to make up for it she angles for something in return, in a cutesy girlfriend sort of way.
As far as the others go, they have shown little interaction since its only about 11 or so chapters into the manga. They kind of come off as Rimuru's people who all idolize him like a god. Thats why I like the occasional pov chapter from other characters so you can actually get a sense of what they think. |

Virtually all of the other members were recruited indirectly by either Alpha or other members, who would then exaggerate his accomplishments as Shadow and made his reputation even larger than it was before. While it's true Alpha still owes Cid her life, she is also still technically the closest thing to a childhood friend. |

When Alpha describes the Cult to the other members, the story is going to get more and more embellished compared to how Cid describes it. This leads other members to further exaggerate Cid's accomplishments, further idolizing him and placing his image even further from reality. |

You know, I'm surprised that Shadow Garden hasn't pummel Hyoro and Jaga to the ground considering all the antics they put their master through. However, I realize they are holding themselves back out of loyalty for their master and probably, Cid might have told them to spare the two. However if Cid grew bored of them, Hyoro and Jaga are dead meat.
I do like that the manga in Chapter 7 elaborated on this. While I initially thought Nyuu was trying to escort Cid to Gamma, then I realize she actually did two things. Although she hated Hyoro and Jaga, she can't physically harm them but mentally, that was free game. She shows her love and affection for Cid all the while subtly mocking Hyoro and Jaga that they are second-rate nobodies. |

Plus to them literally every single action of Cid, even a sneeze, are all deeply planned and calculated with hidden meanings

yeah i think he views them as mob meat shields to use for his cover, but at the same time I dont think he will ever let them get killed because they probably become more like those friends no one likes.
Are all the characters with pointed ears elves , or is this one of those manga where other demis like demons and dwarves all have pointed ears? |
