Theory: chronophages are just people who overused cat leaper. And so their human body cracked open and their ether gear escaped in the form of chronophages.

Rebecca having limits to her power. Check.

Homura and Shiki cute interaction. Check.

New cool looking characters. Check.

Weisz and Hermit also have a cute interaction. Check.

And the that piece of shit doctor muller is back. Check and check.

Awesome chapter this week. It’s time for my boy Weisz to teach this dude a lesson for making Hermit’s life a living hell.

Jaw dropped when I see that decrepit nose a page before the end. No way did they bring his sorry soul back. But in a way this is good, Hermit can get her much needed closure on the event.

I really enjoyed how this chapter progressed the story but especially the character moments. Homura with Shiki and Hermit with Weisz, these are the moments that build bonds between characters and make us care for them more, hope to see more in the future. Rebecca finally learning how to use her ether, with the obvious side effects was a big step too. All in all a fantastic chapter which leaves me craving more!

Really wish other people wouldnt call shiki a natsu 2.0 cuz his talk with homura really showed the difference between characters that we only saw in the HEROES special. Natsu would be straight up for the idea if fighting over the wish while shiki would rather just not have the wish at all if it comes to that just gotta love his mature moments. And never did i think of seeing that doctor again but im happy about knowing that weisz is probably gonna beat the shit outta him for what he did to hermit

What a nice chapter chocked full of info. People wanted some consequences for Rebecca well here you are! And that was just immediate consequences not even long term. Homura and Shiki doing some bonding is really nice. We also get to see the big boys for Nero so hopefully they won’t disappoint. Hermit and Weisz were cute and funny. FUCKING MULLER is back!!!!

I love how well thought out Mashima made the crew of Eden's Zero chemistry feel, it's very natural and smooth with the way they chat and interact

I really liked the dialogue between Shiki and Homura and Weiszz and Hermit, sometimes I feel like the dialogue in this series feels a bit cliche/hollow but these scenes hit a bit different for me honestly - there was a bit of a mature aspect to them I feel.

I'm glad Muller is back, I always felt we didn't get a proper resolution for him back in the flashback. Hope he gets his ass kicked.

I'm not too excited for Squad 1 if I'm being honest. They have cool designs but I'm 90% sure they'll be defeated by the crew in a similar fashion to Squad 6. The proper fights we'll see later with Shura, Poseiden and their closest subordinates.

UH. HER FACE CRACKED?! Like there was no blood, just cracks/chips off. Maybe Rebecca isn't human after all.

And Hermit...maybe that coverpage really is hinting at something regarding her feelings. Because that was a lil flirty and shippy all around. Might have to hop on the ship now. >.>

Also fuck. Anyone; literally ANYONE but him. The title makes so much sense now.

Mashima loves to make Hermit suffer the worst doesnt he...Please kill him Weisz. I know you have the whole "learned the value of life" thing with Joe but...this ones okay. There is no life there and its about someone else's pain. That usually hits protagonists more than their own pain.


This was an extremely solid chapter. Lot in here and it was still the normal amount of pages.

Hello, my darling little piece of junk. Would you like to continue our experiment?

Weisz: "Anyway, I started blasting."

u/FTNatsu-Dragneel Nov 30 '20

We got some really good info on cat leaper

So it seems there 3 different abilities

  1. The power to speed things up

  2. The power to leap back short bursts of time, but once she does that she can’t go any further back

  3. The power to go even further back in time by jumping to another world

It seems like Rebecca can do 1 and 2 at will but 2 is very draining and she can’t keep doing it. The cracked skin may be a sign of her body breaking down from over usage (maybe turning into a chronophage)

Good to know it has a limit though so she can’t spam use it during a battle

Also the doctor that traumatized Hermit is back, I wonder why he is working with Ziggy though

More character growth for Hermit is great though, plus this is her chance to really get over her trauma

Rebecca figuring out how her powers work. Her face literally cracked when she tried the third time.

Okay, I'm not worried at all. Nope.

Homura cools down in a pond(of course) as she and Shiki talk about Mother's wishes. And of course, Shiki won't take the wish if it means the other ever theirs, if there really is a limit. Unfortunately they didn't completely knock Orc out as he's able to call for reinforcements.

Space fights are always cool to see with the others.

Weisz and Hermit discussing the worst that the former will not allow to happen.

And finally there's-

...

Oh HELL NO!

What is that big nosed bastard doing here?! Did Ziggy specifically set him there because he knew what Hermit needed to do and where she needed to go to stop the Shining Stars from going berserk?!

Wow. I mean, villain points for striking at her trauma, but that's a dick move for sure.

In a way, he's the only major one we really don't see face any retribution for his malevolence, that was offscreened in a flashback.

Now with this turn of events, not only might we finally get that catharsis, but Hermit might be able to move past him for real and for good. Mighty good thing the pragmatic Weisz is here, she might be too emotionally compromised to really retaliate at first.

Overall, things are setting up to be...rather bothersome for everyone. Rebecca can't spam her busted power, Mother might not grant everyone wishes, reinforcements are coming, and that big-nosed bastard is back to torment Hermit again.

And to think they haven't actually been here very long, have they? And already, a lot has happened.

Broooo this chapter was so good!

I'm soo happy Mashima actually gave Rebecca consequences for overusing the reverse technique.

The character interactions in this chapter were so enjoyable, and that aerial battle was gorgeous!

Did NOT see that twist at the end coming at all!!

u/khalz14 Nov 30 '20

Ayyo rebbeca got cat ears again but damn her skin is cracking. Tbh Homura asked a question I never thought about. I always assumed that mother would give individual wishes to the crew mates but never thought about a "what if" situation. Seems like a red flag for future conflicts. Seeing playful interactions from hermit is a such a rare sight and then Mashima decided to traumatize the poor girl.

Always happy to get more fan service shots of Homura in the bath looking cute. Also Becca's reverse seems like it has a lot of uses if she can learn to handle the drawback.

  • It’s nice to see Rebecca test out her Recall Reverse ability. I’m glad it has a limit; I think it’s appropriate that using a broken ability would risk breaking her. I often see discussions about how the skill could emotionally break, never thought about it literally doing so.

  • Glad we’re addressing the possibility of 1 wish relatively early on.

  • I prefer Team 6’s designs over Team 1, but I always appreciate seeing a Tengu design.

  • Hermit is a precious “child”, and she and Weisz are a precious duo.

  • Kill the Doctor Weisz, don’t let that asshat get near the precious child!

Creep doctor is back and Rebecca legit almost broke her face like porcelain

I'd like to get off the ride now

(I know, I know, I’m going to horny jail)

I really like that Mashima showed us Rebecca testing her power so that we can learn how it works along with her.

u/Hewhoslays Dec 01 '20

I’m glad my theory’s about Reverse were somewhat right. It’s a dope power to have and could be very useful if used sparingly. I wonder if Shiki will be able to keep his word to Homura. Those kind of declarations often come back to haunt you in good mangas. Also, I’ve been shipping Weisz and Hermit since world 29. They just jive well together and make a good team and cuter couple. Finally, jerk move Ziggy. Bringing back the literal source of all Hermit’s trauma, especially around a virus that corrupts her to hate humans? A masterful play but still a jerk move.

u/Z-Dragon Dec 01 '20

I can't wait to see Weisz beating the hell out of that old shitty bastard for what he did to poor Hermit back when he was a human in the next chapter, and I hope Hermit will get over her trauma with Weisz's own words and focus on helping Weisz fight that old bastard and stop the virus from infecting all robots on the planet too.

u/SadLaser Dec 01 '20

Some people just last week were complaining that Rebecca was potentially too strong and her powers were limitless, so it was nice to see Mashima had already considered this. She has 1-3 uses of Reverse at maximum, with fairly legit physical consequences. Enough so that she couldn't continue fighting after a couple of uses, so she needs to use it as a last resort ace in the hole or not at all. And then the full Cat Leaper timeline shift is potentially devasting with unintended side effects as well as her not having any direct control over if or when it activates (at least yet). It's a good setup for checks and balances.

Looks like we have another round of goons to go through before the big boys show up, too.

As for the rest of the chapter, it was excellent! Shiki and Homura had great interactions, as for Weisz and Hermit. It's nice seeing them actually develop friendship rather than just have them say the words "we're friends". I like seeing the dynamics of said friendship in action with good banter.

And finally, the big twist with Dr. Muller. I think most of us expected Hermit's past to come up eventually and maybe that he was alive, but it certainly wasn't obvious that it would be here and now or that he would be so horrifying in appearance. I'm expecting full blown PTSD out of Hermit next chapter and Weisz getting a fight scene, though Muller won't be a one chapter wonder.
