The Eminence in Shadow season 2 episode 12 hints at Shadow’s new I AM ATOMIC ability
The climax of the episode occurred during its conclusion, when the infamous Mordred made his appearance and initiated the devastating Black Rose apocalypse in the Oriana Kingdom. With the timely arrival of Shadow, The Eminence in Shadow season 2 episode 12 is set to feature an epic battle, laying the groundwork for an explosive finale.
Two preview teasers for episode 12 of The Eminence in Shadow season 2 were released on Kadokawa’s YouTube channel. The first teaser featured the arrival of all the important members of the Shadow Garden and their platoon at the Oriana Kingdom.
In the teasers, Shadow effortlessly handles Archfiend Ragnarok, as fans expected. But even heroes need help, and the Shadow Garden members will assist Shadow during this difficult battle. In the final moments of the previous episode, Shadow quickly and effortlessly removed the left arm of the otherworldly demon, showcasing his incredible abilities.
In the preview, it is evident that the Archfiend has regrown its arm and is in much stronger condition than when Shadow last faced it. The upcoming episode 12 of The Eminence in Shadow season 2 will feature an intense battle showcasing Shadow's impressive new abilities, guaranteeing an exhilarating experience for the viewers.
Morded vs The Shadow Garden
In the penultimate episode of The Eminence in Shadow season 2 episode 12, Mordred, the ninth seated Knights of Rounds and leader of the Cult of Diablos faction operating in the Oraiana Kingdom, made a surprising debut. The excitement surrounding Mordred was heightened by the casting of Takehito Koyasu, known for his deep and smooth voice, in the role. Koyasu is popular for voicing villains, with notable characters including Dio Brando from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Touji Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen, and Shinsuke Takasugi from Gintama.
Rose will be No. 666 one last time
The sneak peeks of The Eminence in Shadow season 2 episode 12 show that Mordred will not confront Shadow, as Shadow is already facing off against the Archfiend. Nevertheless, the members of Shadow Garden are determined to take matters into their own hands and bring him down, with Epsilon leading the charge.

Despite the challenging task of explaining her betrayal to the organization to a group of devoted Shadow fanatics, Rose can find solace in the fact that the members of the Shadow Garden will forgive her, as long as their master continues to accept her.
Rose has not yet been crowned as the Queen of the Oriana Kingdom, but she has a responsibility to protect her people. The Shadow Garden will once again accept Rose as No. 666, giving her the chance to join them in the fight for justice and fulfill her oath to protect her kingdom.
What will be Shadow’s new I AM ATOMIC ability?

The new ability that Shadow showcased in the preview for The Eminence in Shadow season 2 episode 12 is believed to be Ususemi no Atomic, although its official English name has not been announced. This technique, as described in the original light novel series, causes Shadow's sword to transform and split into nine dragon-like slashes, each aimed at a specific part of the target's body.
Shadow is likely to use this ability to constrain or even kill the gigantic beast from the netherworld, ending the battle once and for all.
