At first glance, The Eminence in Shadow seems like your typical isekai anime. What sets it apart is how much it leans into the genre conventions, enough that it has become one of the most popular shows in the genre.

Aside from many memorable characters, Eminence has also inspired a ton of memes. Chief among them is the crowbar meme, which has become a fixture among fans.

On the show’s subreddit and X (formerly Twitter), there are lots of references to the crowbar. This makes sense based on the show’s first season.

Before Cid Kagenou was reborn into another world, he first took on the identity of the Stylish Ruffian Slayer. In the premiere episode, he saved a classmate of his from kidnappers.

The first season’s final episode featured a callback to this as Cid wielded two crowbars in his fight against Iris and Beatrix.

Since then, fans have been clamoring for more Cid crowbar goodness. Now, their wishes have finally been answered.
