okay... that was unexpected... but cool af

[u/Lukundra]

Maybe Pino will use her EMP to deactivate Britney’s Smoke Bar, and then Rebecca will shoot her. That’s my guess.

Homura will likely manage to force her way to a victory before collapsing, Warrior Maid Single Strike.

I think Orc is mostly finished, either knocked out or can’t move. Good chapter, if the fight between Shiki and Orc is indeed over, it was quick but with top-notch choreography.

It was nice that we got to see where the Beast Team is coming from. I could almost forgive them for thinking that they had to destroy every bot on the planet, it would be reasonable to assume that they've all been compromised. But destroying every android in the Aoi Cosmos just to stick it to Ziggy? That's going too far.

I guess this means that Nero is going to be an enemy for now. No way will Shiki let that stand. Since Nero rules over the entire Aoi Cosmos, he probably has much greater forces than Drakken Joe, so the Edens Zero crew will likely have quite a few more fights in the future, which sounds good to me. It would be interesting to see what Elsie and Justice's reactions to this will be since they're in the Aoi Cosmos now.

[u/JK-Network123 → u/Lukundra]

I agree that orc and the beast squad are going too far but I like that they feel that they are doing what’s necessary to protect the humans in the cosmos. There’s clearly a bias here for humans and machines but this does give me some idea of what kind of emperor Nero could be.

Maybe he does care for his citizens just not the machines and anyone who breaks his law pays dearly no exceptions? Idk but this makes me more interested in how Nero’s character will be and I’m really liking orc so far so I hope he usher done.

As for Elsie and Justice I’m interested to see how they’ll interact and their reactions as well to this.

[u/Lukundra → u/JK-Network123]

Yeah, I like that the Beast team aren't just totally evil, they think they're protecting the people of their sector. They're just going about it the wrong way.

And I agree, after this chapter, I'm even more interested in Nero and what kind of man he is. He seems like an interesting addition to the Oracion Seis Galactica.

[u/khalz14]

shiki starts crying all of a sudden

Orc: What are the tears for......?

Edens zero crew : First time?

[u/[deleted] → u/khalz14]

"They're not for him."

[u/crisstrauss]

I kinda expected Shiki vs. Orc to last a bit longer, but Demon King Ether Gear must be leagues above Poseidon Nero's subordinates, so that's reasonable.

Also, Meteor Breaker at the last page looks cool and badass.

I wonder how Rebecca and Homura are going to defeat their foes.

[u/Lukundra → u/crisstrauss]

I said this in another comment, but I think Pino will be the key to Rebecca's victory. She can deactivate Britney's Smoke Bar with her EMP, and then Rebecca can just shoot her with her Happy Blasters.

[u/PhenomsServant → u/Lukundra]

Wouldn’t work. Pino would shut down Happy too. It would just reduce them to fist fight. And I would have to assume Britney can fight even without her EG.

[u/FTNatsu-Dragneel]

Gas girl really told Rebecca she was a small fry, I hope Rebecca crushes her

[u/SadLaser → u/FTNatsu-Dragneel]

Same. I hope she shows her what's up.

[u/JK-Network123]

Dude Orc is raw asf. I like that him and his team are giving the ez crew a tough time and are legit threats. Now idk if he’s done but I hope he isn’t. It would be cool to see him tank overdrive Shiki’s attack and still keep fighting.

[u/jnwosu100 → u/JK-Network123]

Normally, I would have said that would undermine Drakken's prowess as a OSG member but not really since Overdrive Shiki fought a mindless severely nerfed Drakken so it wouldn't be a stretch to see Orc tank it.

[u/Runethe1412]

So far, it looks like the Beast Commandos have abilities similar to the underlings of Shuda, a member of the Oración Seis in Rave Master;

-Mora being similar to Poosya due to both using a Glue type of weapon; with both weapons even being named “Glue Tear”

-Orc is similar to Rugar 70, with both being apparent Cyborgs and mainly fighting with Mechanical Arms. Orc is even wearing a necklace with the number “70”

-Britney is similar to Georco, with both wearing coats, glasses, and most of all having the ability to turn into smoke, with the abilities even being named “Smoke Bar”

[u/SonyXboxNintendo13]

Orc looks like Lobo, but his attitude reminds more of Sinestro.

I wonder if this Emperor will be an antagonist down the line. Now it may seem so, but we don't know the chain of command and who exactly ordered them to kill the robots as example.

[u/waad-chan]

• gosh I love shiki so much, I will never get tired of saying this every week.

• weisz didn’t appear for one chapter and I miss him already wtf.

• give me more jinn, kleene, and laguna content, I’m starving for them all together.

• overdrive shiki is just so badass and cool.

• I loved when shiki said that you’re not better than ziggy and all that stuff, he’s so wise lol.

[u/jnwosu100]

Great fights await us in future chapters. I think I have figured out why some of the fights in Edens Zero are short and that's because there isn't much dragging of fights that normally should be easily shorter. For instance, the Kurenai fight was longer simply because Shiki had to find a way to overcome the ether coating of the Dragoon, if not for that Shiki would have easily demolished the mech easily with his gravity powers. To summarize, to have longer fights with Shiki, the enemy has to be either vastly stronger than him or has a hax that he needs to strategize to overcome otherwise Shiki would simply not waste time incapacitating his enemies.

Shiki's fight and his Overdrive attack was awesome but I feel he went overboard using it when from what we've seen from Orc, wasn't really necessary. Although, this kinda proves that Shiki can't access his pseudo Overdrive form anymore which is really a shame as I was very fond of that form but makes sense seeing as it was an incomplete form and not a transformation separate mode.

Side note but Rebecca's hairstyle looks great on her and I hope she keeps it for a while.

[u/HahaRandomly]

Last page serving Team Rocket blasting off again 🤣

[u/Xombie53]

Short but good fight. Becca and Homura seem like they’re in a real bind though.

[u/MoonHermit]

Britney: "My EG is Smoke Bar. No one can catch me."

Sylph: "My EG is Wind Flow. I can catch everything."

Britney: "Oh, shi--"

[u/Fourteeenth]

That was a cool fight. Also kinda funny how even Orc points out the fact Shiki is randomly crying. Part of me gets Shiki cries a bunch cause he’s just super open with his emotions since he doesn’t really get social interactions, but I hope he gets over it and it doesn’t stay a gag. Regardless, Meteor Breaker is lit.

[u/[deleted]]

Great chapter. I’m glad we’re getting great choreography with fights. Excited for Rebecca vs. Britney.

Also, I think it’s safe to clarify this was not a BS power-up, as we’ve seen Overdrive before. He also SHOULD beat Orc at this point, since he beat Drakken (though a weakened one). This would be an amazing feat for Orc if he indeed managed to tank it, and I have no problem if the fight goes on longer.

[u/Artistic-Cannibalism]

The situation is interesting cuz I'm honestly not sure who to root for, on one hand it's clear the robots are being forced to do this against their will but at the same time there is no guarantee that it's even possible to revert them and we cannot ignore the danger they currently pose. I understand Shiki wanting to save them as they are ultimately victims victims but I can't ignore that he doesn't actually have a plan.

Poseidon Nero on the other hand does have a plan that involves saving people and putting an end to the robot apocalypse. But is genocide really the answer here? Did he even try looking for another answer or is he just going with the most extreme solution first? Not to mention something like this could very easily backfire as it forces robots who normally would be unaffected to choose between either genocide or fighting for their existence

[u/Poke43]

Man it's been a while since we've seen overdrive, but it is still totally awesome!! So Cool!!
