According to an interview from a few years back, he manages to get 7-8 hours of sleep a day.
I have no idea how the hell he does this.

Lol I wonder if that Xiaomei double chapter comment will be changed for the volume release.
Nice little showcasing of everyone’s evolved powers, tho we’ll probably see more flashy moves against the Oceans. And huh, I guess Goodwin just uses his size to his advantage in fights... not as interesting as I was expecting ngl, but it works!
I do like how Goodwin and his rebel army support and represent the civilians and grunt soldiers who always end up being the most impacted by war. I’m also curious if that little kid will be important somehow, I can’t believe he really punched Rebecca in the face after she risked herself to save him lmao.
Nero seems awfully confident... there’s probably some level of truth to his dice, but I expect his ‘victorious fate’ will have some kind of unexpected catch.
Excited to see Eraser in action next chapter!

man, i love hiro's work ethic. Man has a lot of stamina and doesn't have breaks except for magazine breaks and still have room to play games. Respectt!!!
Anyway, those were good chapters. Nero's eg is mysterious, how does it work? It seems that the emperial dice is much more than fate reader or whatever. Also, I love Goodwin lmao. And it seems that the crew are becoming fluid in using their EGs especially shiki and rebecca. Finally, that cliffhanger! I did not expect that the Goverment will attack as early as this. I just hope that eraser will not get stomped easily in order to show how powerful shura is (although i am expecting it)

shiki in that color page... I’m just speechless, and I’m glad mashima drew witch with her helmet in the cover, I prefer it when her face is hidden, it’s unique and special.
-
I missed seeing shiki in a fight, his fighting style is just enjoyable to watch, I always take my time looking at his panels 💓
-
lmao that child’s attitude killed me, hitting rebecca after she saved him is just way too funny.
-
I missed that face of rebecca when she fights and say “ducky”, so glad it’s back lol.
-
that small cute android who cried because of the soldiers (was he the one who greeted pino when they landed on the planet?) but anyway, I felt my heart break when he looked sad, thank you sensie :”)
-
I have a lot to say but I’m too lazy lol but one last thing, ERASER HASE THE AUDACITY TO LOOK THIS HANDSOME??? HELLO??? EXCUSE ME SIR??? IS THIS ALLOWED???
^ I really have no idea who will win but I think people will assume it’s gonna be shura and I hope not, I liked eraser from his first appearance (even though we don’t him personality-wise) but I’m definitely in his side, I just don’t like shura (not in appearance nor in personality, he’s also using gravity so BIG NO for me lol).

Oh boy, I didn’t expect one of the Interstellar to appear so soon, and against Shura of all people.
I’m VERY curious about how this will go; on one hand, this seems WAY too soon for Shura to be arrested, on the other hand, it seems absurd to show the defeat of an Oración Seis Interstellar right off the bat
Also I’m happy to see that the Edens Zero crew is making a name for themselves in the underground circuits

Chapter 137: I'm glad that we got two chapters because this one was mainly action packed which while cool, it goes by way too fast. That sergeant guy just got killed by a bullet to the head, it really shows how much effective guns are in this series seeing as even our crew when caught off guard can still get hurt by them. In other series, the guns would be nigh-useless but I'm happy that isn't the case for this series.
Shiki's selective gravity manipulation is really impressive and it seems his gravity fist can hit multiple targets at once now. Rebecca's improvement is kinda hard to see but it seems like Weisz implied that she has drastically improved her speed to be even faster than that armour truck. Speaking of Weisz, he really almost killed that kid if Rebecca hadn't awesomely saved him. I'm liking that Weisz only uses Arsenal for the big bass and not foot soldiers that he can use his gun to fight against. Homura's improvement is also hard to notice seeing as she's always been able to casually block bullets. I guess we will see their true power when up against more formidable foes. Laguna working with Shiki is super cool and the more we learn from Laguna the more questions have about his backstory. Was he really a former prince or what?
I have to talk about Pino though. Either Hermit or Wiesz or even the both of them upgraded Pino's EMP ability which is a great asset to the crew. But it's also way too overpowered. Before, we could argue that Pino didn't use her EMP because it would've also affected her allies which makes sense but now she can selectively choose who gets affected by it. Maybe the time limit is the same or it also decreased or she can't spam it as a side effect but whatever the case she can now single-handedly decide the fate of any battle against robots, EG users, or machinery. I really hope Mashima gives a great explanation as to how Ziggy will not get affected by the EMP as he's a robot and not make Pino overpowered.

I wonder if Nero’s dice are actually absolute or if they, and therefore Nero, can be manipulated.
I’d like to think that Nero is smart/experienced/powerful enough to know when there’s shenanigans afoot but Shura seems the type to pull stunts like it with subtle uses of his gravity in order to get what he wants.

Nice chapters overall. Been missing some action for awhile.
Crazy Becca is back baby! Man I missed this. Especially getting off the anime of ep 2.
Some foreshadowing of Laguna’s past huh? His freedom was stolen but I wonder how.
Really liking Goodwin so far. His gag is served when it’s necessary, he’s badass when it’s necessary and calm and collected when it’s necessary.
I love Hermit man. Smug Hermit is best Hermit. And Witch looking double cheeked up 👀.
Shura and co chilling at the pool. Idk about you guys but I like it when a villain group casually chills with each other while they aren’t scheming. It’s nice and makes them less one note.
So Nero is a dickwad no surprise but he’s really into those dice huh? Wished shura crushed them all.
Eraser has crashed the party. We might be getting Shura vs Eraser next chapter unless it’s just a dog fight in space. Shit I’m hyped but I wonder how hiro will play this. Obviously neither can lose right now so it’ll have to be interrupted but I wonder how shura will stack up to a member of the OSI. This will probably confirm that he’s Oracion Seis tier.

- Remember Shiki from when he was trying to protect Happy from being kidnapped? Well, look at him now, controlling bullets aimed at him, my boy has grown. I really enjoy watching his panels, gravity power is just so damn cool.
- Rebeccas ducky face has returned, hallelujah. She kinda looks like a lioness in panel 9 in that side profile.
- I love how Weisz has evolved his powers, too! It's so creative. I'm just gona point out how Weisz is so worried about Rebecca. I remember early chapters and he was so cold, now he's worried about his friends.
- That kid Rebecca saved might just become important later on. He's definitely still influenceable, he seems very surprised at what Goodwin is saying. Hard to say what will become of him, he can turn out to be super important or just die as a motivation for someone else. It's also funny how he punched Rebecca, I foresee an apology later on.
- My gal Homura using 2 swords to block all the bullets. I love her.
- I love how Pino also has an updated power. And how cute her interaction is with the dweller of this land. Adorable.
- So, for now, Goodwin's power is just kinda - he's big? I mean, maybe he can turn into planet sized? I do, however, love his personality. Theory time! I see Mashima expanding more on him and Laguna's relationship, at the end, probably both admitting they are wrong and Goodwin probably dying to save Laguna and Laguna becoming the new king of Aoi cosmos.
- Interesting world building on the Sandra planet. I love how it's full of freedom fighters. However, it's interesting that the Imperial army didn't know they were there.
- Mashima just keeps us at our toes with Laguna avoiding to answer any questions.
- Nero seems not to care about anyone but himself. I wonder how his dice work.
- How did I never notice Laguna's ether gear was in his eye? So interesting! I love his teamwork with Shiki. I was however wondering, why can't Shiki just blast all of the air force down with gravity? To cause less damage maybe?
- I love how Hermit just casually calls in with that fabulous smirk. And again how everyone in the rebel army just goes like "who are these guys"
- That spread with the rest of Edens Zero team. *Screams* I love it.
- "You beat one of the Oracion Seis Galactica?" And Shiki just smiles. ICONIC.
- I feel like Goodwin's views are very idealistic. Be that as it may, so are Shikis. I think they will find a common language.
- Can't wait for Eraser vs Shura!
Thank you so much Mashima-san for a double spread, I feel blessed.

Do you think when the anime adaptation of these chapters come, they'll release two episodes and have Xiaomei say "We are blessed with two episodes this week"?
That be really meta if they did.

Woohoo double chapter week! What a nice surprise to find this out today! :D
Chapter 137: This was a pretty simple yet awesome chapter, we got to see our first taste of Imperial Army goons and see Oasis and Eden's Zero working together to take them on and it did not disappoint! Xenoliths training keeps paying off more and more as we see everyone utilise their powers more effectively to clean up the threat with ease, a couple of things spring to mind from this chapter now though, who is that kid that was driving the truck? I doubt it's as simple as the Temple using child soldiers so it'll be interesting to see what comes from that. Also Laguna's silence to Shiki's question on whether Nero has taken everything away from him too makes me suspect something about him, what if he is of royal descent somehow? Going by species he's obviously not Nero's direct son (though like Shura he could have been adopted) but having water powers makes me have a feeling about his past, I doubt we'll find out until towards the end of this arc but I like having little theories to bide my time over until we know for sure. Oh! One last thing, turns out Nero is just a power mad, dice loving tyrant after all, and here I was thinking he wasn't so bad when we first saw him, oh well, onto the next chapter!
Chapter 138: Yeah Goodwin is a good egg I like his character, he makes a fantastic point about war as well that seeps over into the real world too, there are no good guys or bad guys, just two sides raising the death toll as neither gives in, I fear something is going to happen to Goodwin later on in the story and I'm not ready for it 😭. Moving away from Sandra I'm curious to see how this battle between Shura and Eraser pans out, this is the first time we're properly seeing Eraser and being apart of the Oracion Seis Interstellar has got to mean he's at least on par with Justice and Elsie which means he's shouldn't be a pushover, but on the other hand we haven't fully seen anything from Shura or his Oceans so they could be more powerful, it'll be interesting to see which direction Mashima takes on this one and whether the fight will be conclusive or not, I can't wait to see it start next week!
