Who is Cid Kagenou?

Cid Kagenou is the hero of The Eminence in Shadow, a boy reborn in a world of magic with one ambition: to be the mastermind who pulls the strings from the dark. At the Midgar Academy for Dark Knights he plays an unremarkable background character. At night he becomes Shadow, leader of Shadow Garden, and fights a secret cult he is convinced he invented for fun. The cult is real. He has not noticed. In season 2 he adds a third face in the Lawless City: the masked agent John Smith.

Cid's look: the hood, the slime sword and "I am atomic."

As Shadow he wears a long black hooded coat with violet lining and gold trim, carries a sword shaped from slime, and lets one red eye glow under the hood. Many designs show the scene behind his catchphrase "I am atomic.": a silhouette with arms spread under a ring of light and an enormous moon. As Cid he has short black hair and the navy academy uniform with gold trim. John Smith wears a navy suit and a white faceted mask.
