The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 episode 9 is the start of a new main story arc for the anime series as Cid makes his return. The “John Smith” persona will no longer be in use, so fans can expect some answers about what Cid has been up to.
The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 has thrown Shadow Garden into chaos with John Smith tricking its members in combat. John Smith is actually Cid in disguise, and Alpha and Delta were able to discover the truth. In the previous episode, Shadow Garden took a break at the Mitsugoshi Hot Springs Land to recoup in some filler before the story really picks back up.

Lastly, here’s the anime’s official description from HIDIVE:
Some people just aren’t suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. That’s the role Cid wants to play when he’s transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there’s a catch even his wild imagination didn’t see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they’re beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their evil plans!
