The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13 was never in the cards
The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 will only have 12 episodes, unlike the 20 episodes in Season 1. Fans had hoped for a similar episode count for the sequel, but unfortunately, Cid and his Shadow Garden won’t be returning in Episode 13. On the upside, fans can look forward to a surprise movie adaptation of the anime.
The anime has created a buzz by hinting at a "mystery announcement" before confirming Season 2, injecting an air of mystery into the reveal that has certainly stirred up excitement among fans.
Fans were caught off guard by the sudden revelation, leaving them unprepared. The news and anticipation for the movie managed to ease the disappointment of not having The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13. If the sequel were to consist of 20 episodes, similar to Season 1, there would be room for The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 Episode 13 and beyond in the schedule. This is due to the possibility of adapting the entire fourth volume within the extended episode count.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of The Eminence in Shadow, I am disappointed that there won't be a Season 2 Episode 13. The anime has been a wild ride, and I was looking forward to seeing how the story would continue. However, I understand that the anime has to end at some point, and I'm grateful for the two seasons that we got.
I'm also excited about the upcoming movie adaptation. I think it will be a great way to continue the story and give fans a chance to see their favorite characters again. I'm hoping that the movie will be as good as the anime, and I can't wait to see what it has in store.
