Episode Title:
The Strongest Weakest Man
Episode Description:
The Bushin Festival arrives, attracting hundreds of fighters, and Cid plans to astonish the crowd by disguising himself as weak but defeating everyone. Using magical slime makeup Gamma gives Cid the pathetic face of Mundane Mann, an unskilled knight who died in poverty. Annerose, a foreign knight who fought at the Goddess Trial, witnesses the disguised Cid allowing himself to be beaten by a fighter named Quinton, and is amazed Cid suffers no injuries. Cid learns the favourites to win the festival are Iris, Rose, Annerose, Quinton or a mysterious nameless Dark Knight. Rose encounters Cid and informs him her father has selected a man named Perv Asshat to become her fiancé and force her to quit the sword. Cid advises she do what makes her happy and try to relax for once. During the preliminary fights Goldy Gilded, a skilled but annoyingly arrogant knight, advises Skel how to identify warriors most likely to win but is disappointed when Cid, as Mundane, wins a fight without moving. Only Annerose notices Mundane moved so fast he defeated his opponent before the fight even began. Goldy announces that Mundane’s victory has made him Goldy’s next opponent. Next morning it is announced Rose disappeared after stabbing Perv.
