The Eminence in Shadow
On AT-X
A comedic isekai parody that gleefully subverts power-fantasy tropes by making its delusional protagonist's absurd fantasies accidentally come true, sustained across 32 episodes of escalating absurdist humor.
Shadowbrokers are those who go unnoticed, posing as unremarkable people, when in truth, they control everything from behind the scenes. Sid wants to be someone just like that more than anything, and something as insignificant as boring reality isn’t going to get in his way! He trains in secret every single night, preparing for his eventual rise to power—only to be denied his destiny by a run-of-the-mill (yet deadly) traffic accident. But when he wakes up in a another world and suddenly finds himself at the head of an actual secret organization doing battle with evil in the shadows, he’ll finally get a chance to act out all of his delusional fantasies!
