Cid did not recognize shadow garden & diablos cult as real thing because his sensible mind think acknowledge & self aware that he MADE that up (he though they not actually exist on reality, he just using/assigned random bandit & childhood playmate as/to roleplay with whatever that fit with his delusion).Can someone explain to me how Cid is so clueless? I mean, he displays superhuman feats of intelligence all the time, but somehow he still thinks everyone in SG is just playing a character? The Diablos Cult, even after being directly involved with them, is something HE made up? It’s like, the creator can’t figure out whether this whole thing is a joke or not. Lose the lame parody angle and just lean fully into edgelord action.
cid still recognize gamma business organization mitsugoshi & others, random isekai bandit, random isekai terrorist organization, random isekai shady cult, isekai generic religious organization and random ancient being as actual things that exist.
he just using them as playground with whatever fit with his delusion at that time when some actual event happened
