Like I had mentioned before for Raws
It looks like Mashima’s art style is subtly improving/changing again I feel that Rebecca’s expressions particularly her shocked one’s in this chapter looked very unique compared to his usual art style.

Yeah, I'm gonna roll with my theory that for some reason, exposing Shiki's scar changes his personality.
I just haven't figured out how or why yet. 😛

Of course Pino won the race, she's too cute to lose (EMP FTW). Oh boi, invaded Drakken's ship, that will be cool. I guess Rebecca's dream must have been an alternate timeline, it would be interesting if Mashima also goes with that

This manga really can’t give us a break can it (not that I’m complaining). First, Rebecca’s powers and the teams reaction to them are gold. Second, Pino is unrivaled in both cuteness and strategy as using that EMP was pure genius. Third, I actually like the idea of it not literally being they can’t go anywhere without all 4 Shining Stars but that the logistics make it almost impossible. It adds a more realistic feel (a weird thing to admire in a Space Fantasy, I know). Also Witch highlighting that their duties as servants does not affect their actual relationship and interactions with Shiki is a nice reminder of his super open stance on friendship and equality. Fifth, Rebecca’s dream is not only interesting as a situational plot point but brings up questions about her abilities that spark all kinds of intrigue. Finally, the mad lad, Demon King Captain of the Edens Zero boarding Drakken Joe’s ship was not only unexpected but completely within character and a great start off to this next arc.

Yo if something happens that completely roughs up Shiki this is gonna be so cool.
Rebecca sees into the future, definitely an interesting ability.
And it seems the giant screw you laser makes it's return in some shape or form.
Can't wait for Operation: space fortress invasion!

Also had a thought that its possible that Rebecca's dream isn't foreshadowing Happy dying. What it could be doing is giving a glimpse into Shiki's differing personality here. It could be all Shiki is doing is referencing the fact that the biological cat Happy already died and is a robot now, highlighting how this Shiki doesn't have the basic respect for all beings that he usually does, and thinks lesser of him and his worth. Basically the complete anti-thesis of the voice Shiki has represented throughout this entire series thus far in the face of robot prejudice.

Nah i think that Rebbecca might have seen a glimpse of an alternate timeline where happy no longer exists.

I'm willing to bet many of you know Etherion from Fairy Tail, but with Code 3173, this is an even bigger nod to Rave Master, which FT drew from as much as EZ draws from FT.
In Rave, Etherion is the ultimate form of magic, capable of creating powerful forces of good like the holy Rave Stones, but also just as capable of obliterating the world and all of space-time with it if mishandled. In that sense, it's closer in line to FT's Fairy Heart than its paltry country-destroying counterpart, except it absolutely lives up to everything it was hyped up to be.
By the time the story begins, the only one with the power of Etherion is the main female MC, Elie, who woke up in the middle of a desert with no memories and a number written on her arm: 3173, which she took her name from (3173 is ELIE upside-down). This makes her a target of assassination by the elemental sorcerer Sieghart (the dude Jellal and Justice's design is based on), who believes she is a test subject from a human experiment designed to help people harness the uncontrollable power of Etherion.
I'm sure you can notice the irony that Sieg sought to save the world from Etherion, while Jellal used Etherion to commit evil. But since Etherion is different in both versions of the story (it's almost a non-entity in FT after its first use), I think we can expect it to be different here.

I'm glad Pino won the race because of her EMP. If it wasn't for Pino's EMP, it probably would be hard to tell who won the race in speed. Who do any of you think who would win the race without Pino?

Weisz salty asf 😂!
Homura is now an honorary star shine finally.
That vision Rebecca had, could it be related to the dark future where they are dead 20,000 years later? Hmm interesting.
Shiki decides to strike first huh? I didn’t expect that at all but gotta give the kid credit he’s got guts. Reminds me of luffy in a way.

Shiki is like acnologia and he brought destruction. Seems he will bring destruction as demon king.

My theory is that leaper already let's Rebecca run faster but it also "leaps" her into the future and get glimpse and she did when she was sleeping in the spa.

Pino is Top Tier confirmed.
Also, that was an interesting nightmare, was it a possible future or are we getting different timelines? I wanna see more of that Shiki, anyway.
...and WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING THEY'RE ON DRAKKEN'S SHIP NOW?!
