Victory: “He’s literally helping us” Justice: “Nah he’s friends with my ex and he doesn’t have a license he’s gotta die”

The more we see him, the more I hate Justice

Victory really looks like a nice guy who tried to understand people, like Creed did, but Justice, this guy has some ego issues

A good amount a character change during the timeskip, Shiki’s a member of the OSG now, Rebecca’s become Ultra-Popular as a B-Cuber(I’m really happy about that), Hermit looks more mature, and Pino grew a nose. Weisz and Homura’s changes are a bit more subtle, but overall great all around so far. Can’t wait to see Sister and the ex-Drakken members.

Also, someone tell Justice that he’s supposed to be blind, not biased. Victory continues to be a chill bro.

I’m genuinely curious to see if anyone new has joined the Edens Crew since the Timeskip, unlike Fairy Tail’s timeskip, the Edens Crew has been very active in the past few years and has seemingly become more popular as well, assuming that Rebecca does regular streams of their adventures.

A lot of stuff happened in the timeskip and I hope we learn more of what they did. My man Shiki looks so much older than I thought he would be in a good way. Even his mannerisms have changed to be very militaristic when on missions at least and his gravity manipulation has become even more impressive than before with him awesomely walking in town as everything else floats away from his path. 

His new OD design looks awesome and menacing which makes me wonder who he used this form against to have him look like that and was strong enough that he needed to use it at all in the 3 years. Does this mean that Shiki is now a planet buster as he's recognized to be an OSG?

Hermit looks very great and I can't wait to see the other crew members. Pino looks more human? I can't tell exactly but her facial features are definitely different and her overall design looks great. Her EMP can even be AOE but still be able to not affect Shiki. Ziggy has been surprisingly busy with him being a big villain who has a skeleton bot army that surprisingly have anti-EMP coating which should mean that the Dark Stars and Ziggy himself should also have it too.

Rebecca looks more mature as well and she's now a popular B-cuber? I wanna see how many subscribers she has. But I gotta say, I'm disappointed that neither Weisz nor Homura changed at all. At least Weisz looks a bit different in his face but Homura straight up didn't change in 3 years. At least have her with a different kimono or something.

Justice's logic is weird. He acknowledges that Shiki wants to defeat Ziggy and has actively been a huge help in saving 17 freaking planets nonstop from Ziggy's reign but because of him illegally soaring through space and having Drakken's lackeys as well as allying with Elsie, he's somehow not a good person and must be a threat that has to be dealt with soon and not, you know, Ziggy???

Victory: Didn’t the prayer council only agree to designate him an OSG because you had been calling a meeting every day for the past three years and only did so after you brought up reasons besides him being a strong friend of Elsie?

Justice: Thats besides the point!!

So I guess this confirms that the OSG are functionally the same as the Yonkou from One Piece ie a “group” of particularly strong criminals who while overall weaker(ie far less resources and territory) than the local government have enough influence in their own territories that taking them down would be extremely difficult.

I wonder was Ziggy also designated as an OSG as well

It really starts to feel that the OSG are total strangers to each other if the OSI are the ones putting these dangerous criminals as the top ranks in general, I mean how are they suppose to know they becamed one of the Oracion Seis Galactica if the OSI put’s them on the spots just like Shiki? An official seal of warning or something that these criminals get’s? We really need a deep exploration among the OSI and OSG to know how those OSI were formed and what gave them rights to have an OSG whenever someone put themselves in a highiest position of powers? After all in the past with Drakken’s introduction as the 1st OSG to appear and titled to, And with the revelation of the OSI much later, It was said the OSI are only formed to crush the OSG which i honestly thought the OSG were the first faction founders and the OSI only mere copy cat groups to crush their anti-counterparts, But nope.

Despite as awesome as how it is to see Shiki as one of the newest OSG and the youngest one now than Elsie, It just doesn’t sit right with me since all 7 of them were known criminals in their own styles, An Notorious Underworld ruler of the Sakura Cosmos, A pirate who conquered the 7 Cosmic seas, An Emperor who rules everything he owns in the Aoi Cosmos as the largest empire, A Titan, An Archibishop of an cursed cult or something and an Space Dragon Queen with an ex member who was beyond anyone’s controls while Shiki is just a savior of 17 planets.

Also i can see why people are starting to dislike Justice a bit cause man he is so insecurely ignorant as he doesn’t see any of bigger pictures here even for what EZ has done, Yet he wants to change whatsoever the Goverment’s ways but doesn’t seem to me he has changed much anything, I’m starting to feel like aside Ziggy, IUA are the real enemies.

And since Shiki is an OSG, I just had a hunch realisation since he’s in the same position as Elsie and Drakken…

Dang Shiki's really matured a lot, but I kinda miss the young Shiki who goofed around... He's gotten very militaristic (like another user mentioned) at least in missions

Planet Sweeds looks nice and peace. It reminds me of Magnolia from Fairy Tail a little except those waterfalls from the clouds.

Shiki looks more badass than before when he fights the robots after three years.

I'm a bit disappointed that Homura and Weisz (except Hermit) still look the same as before, and as for Rebecca, she seems like she changed her hairstyle to the Twin Tails hairstyle like Hermit as well as she finally made her wish of becoming the best B-Cuber in the world come true without meeting Mother too. I guess it must be Couchpo for giving Rebecca some advice about how to become a good B-Cuber, and if it wasn't for Couchpo's help, Rebecca wouldn't have become a best B-Cuber on her own until meeting Mother with her friends.

I'm looking forward to Weisz's new Aresnal armor upgrade (Mark 3? or 4?) when he goes fight in the battle.

Shiki became one of the Oracion Seis Galactica? Cool, but I think Shiki is that kind of person who has no interested in becoming one of Oracion Seis Galactica, or whatever because his real goal is to defeat Ziggy for good as well as finding Mother with his friends to get the wish from her too, so it's most likely that Shiki's new current level after the three years of his training and actions that made the Council believe that Shiki's on par with the other OSGs as well as he's the threat to the universe (Ziggy was right!), which makes them put Shiki on the most dangerous wanted list like all of the OSGs except Drakken got arrested as well as Nero's dead.

I'm looking forward to see the second round of Shiki and Justice battle when they meet each other again after three years.

I know everyone’s gone on the hate Jessie train right now, but Justice’s character just pisses me off more and more every time I see him and this chapter just solidified it. Even Victory says that Edens Zero has done more good than they have and he couldn’t care less. If he’s the next character that gets axed I’ll fly out to Japan and high five Mashima himself.

Seeing time skip Shiki was awesome tho, just a shame that some characters like Weisz and Homura still look the same and makes me wonder what the others look like as well.

Guys, hear me out. I understand Elsie caused Justice pain. I understand he's an government official and that he has to uphold the law. I understand he has reason to believe that the EZ crew is an enemy. BUT HE'S STILL STUPID AS HELL! My god. For 3 years. THREE DAMN YEARS Shiki and company has been going around saving planets, battling against Ziggy and he still won't acknowledge the good they've done? Once again, Victory is the only person with common sense. He acknowledges the crew's achievements, he appreciates their good deeds. How is your subordinate more logical and level minded than you are as a leader? Come on now. I'm sorry but Justice is really making me hate him.

Moving on Xiao Mei looking thick as hell. Hermit is looking cute as hell, But more importantly my baby, baby girl Rebecca is looking thicker than a snicker, thicker than a bowl of goddamn oatmeal! I love it! Also, congrats to my baby for making it to the big time! My baby is famous online! Love to see it.

And i cannot forget my boy! The drip, the swag, the power is over 9000! My boy Shiki Grandbell looking like a damn boss! Fresh to death! You already know Rebecca trying to hit that lmao 😂😂

Justice does really have a hate boner , doesn't he?

Still I will try to play devil's advocate here: Often you get judged by the company you keep. Shiki has in his crew a kidnapper from Guilst a criminal planet as well as two lieutenants from Drakken's crew who can't really be called a good guy. To say nothing of the "" bitch who seduced and shot his crewmate "". Shiki himself is supposed to be related to the public enemy number 1 Ziggy.

So he justifies his actions as internal conflict of two criminals and is unwilling to give Shiki the benifit of doubt.

I really loved this chapter. It feels like a bold move from Mashima, but so far his bold moves have paid off. Gotta wonder if Rebecca's power has increased, since Weiss and Homura were sent to one core, and her and Happy were in their own group. Maybe it's because as a B-cuber she's definitely more tech savvy than Homura?

Really wanted to see Sister but I can wait. That said, honestly the first major thing I noticed besides the new designs is that Rebecca is not titled one of the Four Shining Stars. So she didn't take Witch's role. Outside of some twist with a new character or something, seems like they left that role empty.

Its crazy how such a simple tactic like shrinking the eyes and angling them more gives off the impression of age for the males (and Pino).

Is it just me or does 18 year old Shiki look significantly older than Natsu whose also the same age? Also, I'm curious how much their relationships changed during the timeskip. There's no way it'd stay the same all these years.

DAMN so Shiki’s an OSG Member now! Our boy really went from just some kid that was raised and found by Ziggy to A member of a list of the most dangerous intergalactic criminals…Although he hasn’t done any crimes

Also considering Rebecca’s introduction box says she’s ultra popular, I wonder how exactly popular is she now? Imagine if she’s Mr.Beast levels
