Cid Kagenou/Relationships

Mr. Kagenō
Due to his cowardness and negligence, Cid does not hold any respect for his father. He also privately fears that he might go bald like his father as he gets older.

Mrs. Kagenō
Cid's relationship with his mother is unknown, though he seems to at least hold her in higher regard than his father.

Claire Kagenou
Cid has a tense relationship with his sister, Claire. While she always makes every attempt to inject herself into his life, Cid was annoyed by this and tried desperately to ignore her, even running away from her. Despite everything, Cid genuinely cares for Claire and helps her whenever she gets into trouble.

Sherry Barnett
Sherry is Cid's upperclassman in Midgar Academy. The two encountered one another after Cid passed Sherry his chocolate on random. Cid and Sherry had a friendly relationship. although Cid doesn't know that Sherry had developed feelings for him. It's during the terrorist attack at the academy that Cid took serious interest in her, thinking she might be important to the "main plot".

One thing to note is that it's implied Cid genuinely did care for Sherry as he was seemingly disgusted upon learning Lutheran Barnett murdered Sherry's mother and he personally gave the evil man a painful death in retribution. Although, he didn't tell Sherry about her step-father's true nature.

Skel & Po
Skel and Po are Cid's classmates and only friends in Midgar Academy. Cid doesn't have genuine friendship with them and only hanged around with them due to both them fitting his mob background hence why he doesn't mind being put through their antics. He doesn't mind abandoning them to their fate when they get into trouble due to their own stupid actions.

Alexia Midgar
Initially, he confessed to her as part of a bet but was surprised when she accepted. He was very annoyed, as this ruined his chances of living a quiet life and he became aware she started the relationship with him as a way to annoy Zenón, her betrothed. Over time, they become comfortable with each other, as she had no need to behave like a princess and he was able to receive money for his work as Pooch. As the days went by, Alexia developed romantic feelings towards Cid, which led her, after being rescued by him, to ask him to continue their relationship, only to end up being rejected by Cid.

Despite having put an end to their fake relationship, Alexia still has feelings for him and tends to bother him whenever she has free time.

Alpha
Alpha is the first member Cid inducted into Shadow Garden. He first discovered the elf when he was carrying out one of his nightly raids against bandits. Upon finding her in her mutated state, Cid did not hesitate to use her as his guinea pig in further developing his magical abilities. After restoring Alpha's true appearance by accident, Cid realizes she'd be someone he has to play along with his fantasies and recruited her.

Compared to the rest of the Seven Shadows, Cid seems to have a close relationship with Alpha as he feels more relaxed around her and is inclined to open up about his personal feelings to her. When the two fought, Cid was impressed and genuinely proud of how strong Alpha became.

Beta
When they were young, Cid would tell the shy and withdrawn Beta fairytales from his original world, which helped her cope with her situation. Unfortunately, many years later, he became angered at her upon learning that she had sold his stories as her own whilst leaving him out of the profits. On her part, however, Beta is genuinely unaware that she essentially committed plagiarism against him.

Although Cid acknowledges Beta's intelligence, after they were both transported to Earth, he honestly believed that it would take her at least several months to learn Japanese. As a result, he was shocked when she mastered the basics of the language in just a few days, fearing she might find out about his true origins.

Whilst in Japan, they also got into a fight in an online chat room, though neither knew of the other's true identity. While initially just teasing each other about their outlandish usernames, the situation quickly escalated when Cid mocked the "Black Knight" (his 'Shadow' persona whilst on Earth), causing Beta to start sending him death threats until she got banned from the chat.

Gamma
After being left for dead by society, she was discovered by Cid Kagenou. He revitalized the girl causing Gamma to develop a deep admiration for the power Cid Kagenou possesses which she regards as life itself.

Being one of the original seven members of Shadow Garden, Gamma has spent time training with Cid and the other girls, particularly Delta. Gamma was dismayed that she is not a competent fighter like them. That is until Cid showed her another path through intelligence. Gamma listened to Cid's Shadow Wisdom from economics to engineering and decided to pour her dedication into learning them.

Years later, however, Cid would grow jealous of Gamma having used the skills he taught her to found the Mitsugoshi Company whilst essentially keeping him out of the profits, unaware that the company is a front for Shadow Garden and all its profits are poured into the organization. Although this didn't stop him from praising Gamma for her accomplishment and giving her a reward.

Delta
Cid first met Delta when Alpha introduced her to him. Upon meeting, Delta immediately submitted to him, swearing loyalty to the boy. Despite this, Cid sometimes gets quite annoyed with Delta's overwhelming affection towards him and even more exasperated when he has to deal with the therianthrope's foolish antics, although Cid is still impressed with Delta being able to realize his identity as John Smith using her nose.

Cid knows Delta enough to understand what kind of mood she's in.

Epsilon
Following her banishment by her former family and friends, Epsilon came upon Cid who cured her of her Demonic Possession. Epsilon swore servitude to Cid after that.

Cid enjoyed having Epsilon around who used to serve tea to him when they were children. Unbeknownst to Epsilon, Cid is perfectly aware that she's wearing a specialized slime suit all over her body.

Zeta
Zeta is one of the Seven Shades personally trained by Cid. Currently, nothing is known about their relationship.

Eta
Eta is one of the Seven Shades personally trained by Cid. Her intellect surpasses even his understanding, with her being able to "decipher" a message he wrote in Japanese, something he did not think was even possible. Besides this nothing is currently known about their relationship.

Rose Oriana
Cid interacted with Rose during the preliminaries to the Bushin Festival. Although Cid thought nothing much of it when it ended, Rose developed a respect for Cid's will. When terrorists attacked Midgar Academy, he stepped in to protect Rose from an attack if only because she was "too important of a character" to die. Ever since then, Cid doesn't understand why the princess of Oriana was close to him, not knowing that Rose fell in love with him for saving her.

After hearing Rose stabbing her fiancée, Cid developed a genuine respect for her, assuming that Rose was rebelling against the marriage. He was upset that Rose eventually decided to marry Perv Asshat and he visited her and tried to bring out that rebellious spirit.

Nu
After meeting Cid, Nu became very loyal to him and has shown to have a crush on him, thanking him for granting her freedom. She will become hostile and will strike down anyone who did the slightest grievance towards him.

Victoria
Cid saved Victory on a whim under his 'Shadow' guise when she was about to be executed for having Demon Possession. Afterward, she was so grateful that she developed feelings for him and joined Shadow Garden, eventually making her way up to becoming one of the organization's strongest members behind only the Seven Shades. On Cid's part, however, upon meeting her again he found that he barely even remembers her.

Iris Midgar
Cid acted respectful towards the princess hence why he stayed at the special seating booth instead of leaving.

When the two faced off, Cid (as Mundane Mann) was disappointed in Iris's strength after he easily took her down with one strike. However when Iris called him out as a coward, Cid unleashed a powerful aura to terrify the princess to submission.

Alexia Midgar
Cid originally viewed Alexia as a stepping stone toward accomplishing his mob dream but that changed after Alexia roped him into having a fake relationship with her. Cid was completely irritated with Alexia due to her treating him no better than a dog. He basically told Alexia at her face that if something horrible were to happen to her, he would not feel sad for her. When Alexia wanted to make their relationship real, Cid rudely refused and flipped her off.

On the other hand, Cid admitted to Alexia that he liked the princess's swordsmanship. Even though they are no longer in a relationship, the two do maintain a somewhat close friendship.

Akane Nishino
Akane was the classmate of Minoru Kagenou, Cid's previous life. The two had a tense relationship, mainly on Akane's part. Cid doesn't remember Akane that much, even misnaming her. However it's only after rescuing her from being kidnapped that Cid started to at least remember her name right.

Aurora
The Witch of Calamity and the true identity of the demon, Diablos. Cid named her Violet due to her violet-colored eyes. When the two fought at the Goddess trials, Cid wished to fight her at her full strength. Aurora summoned Cid for help in freeing her from the Holy Ground. Despite their short time together, Cid developed a friendly relationship with the witch. Before she departed, Aurora asked Cid to kill her. So far, Cid doesn't know Aurora's true identity.

Annerose
Cid met Annerose when he participated in the Bushin Festival as Mundane Mann. He was deeply ecstatic that the Belgatan woman was a witness to his outlandish feats. After their duel was finished, Cid complimented Annerose for her efforts in fighting him when he had removed his weights before the start of the match.

Elisabeth
Cid first met Elisabeth during his infiltration of the Lawless City's Red Tower. Having heard of the "Blood Queen", he was excited to fight her. However, upon finding her coffin empty, as the ritual to revive her not had been completed yet, he lost interest and left.

However, Cid would later return to save the Shadow Garden members from the revived Elisabeth and a fight ensued. Despite not fully comprehending the situation, the Shadow was still able to see that the Blood Queen was not fully in control of herself and subsequently used "I AM ATOMIC" to revert her to normal. Afterward, while in their civilian personas, Elisabeth gave Cid a thankful look, having deduced his identity, though Cid denied knowing her to Claire.

Zenon Griffey
Cid was once a student in Zenon's class. He thought that any woman would be lucky to have Zenon as a husband and wondered why Alexia would have problems being with him.

When Cid faced Zenon as Shadow, he hardly saw the man as an actual threat, even taking the chance to mock his skills. Cid only called Zenon pathetic for using the red lozenge, as using that borrowed power is considered weak. He decided to teach Zenon a lesson by unleashing his "I Am Atomic" attack, killing him.

Lutheran Barnett
Upon learning that Lutheran murdered Sherry's mother, Cid gets genuinely upset that he decides to inflict the old man the same death he did to his victim.

Rex
Cid encountered Rex during the terrorist attack on Midgar Academy. Despite easily overwhelming the man, Cid complimented Rex before eviscerating him to pieces.
