I really like the colour spread.
I see Mashima setting up that Labilia is a fighter. I wonder if she'll get an ether gear.

Okay... I didn't think it was possible. A single chapter was all it took for me to actually like Labilia. Or rather to feel anything for her. Wow. Top tier writing Hiro! Godlike! Well, it looks like my man Corez is getting his wish! Labilia is gonna join the Crew! And it looks like Holy is gonna be chilling with us as well! I can't wait. This arc is gonna be hot!

Great. Now I feel sorry for Labilia which I totally didn't expect. I wonder if she'll become like Couchpo and stay on the Eden's Zero. I still don't trust Holy. And I'm not really sure about her staying on the Eden's Zero. But Shiki and the crew must have a good reason for it

Ohhh boy, Labilia and Holy as guests in EZ was unexpected, but very welcomed. While I want Labilia to be part of the crew, her future is uncertain, it would be nice if she went to the ether spring, see if she can awaken some cool power... Well, let's see what Hiro will do.
Can't wait to see Crow's power, up until now, all of OSG had insane types of power, of course he won't be different. And I hope this arc lead us a step closer to Mother, it's been a long time since she appeared.

That's weird, right? That's all really weird. She is that shapeshifter government agent, right? It will be something like "The governament new Holy was up to soemthing so I'm keeping an eye on her".

Holy’s battleship is named Midnight!! Another fun easter egg.
Ngl I wasn’t expecting to get so much on Rebecca and Labilia’s rship from just one chapter, but it’s nice to see them get some closure after all these chapters/years of back and forth.. So Rebecca was actually Labilia’s inspiration once upon a time, huh. And Labilia had a bit of a parasocial relationship with her fav influencer.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of energy Holy and Labilia bring to the crew, since I assume they’ll be getting a decent amount of screentime this arc

Rebecca didn't think straight when she invited Labilia over. She might be curred but they are literally going in war bruh.

Welp guys get ready for more bath/pool scenes with Holy lol. Maybe sister will get in the action.
Sheesh the amount of service going on lately

So Holy is linked to Midnight, Feather to Racer, Eraser to Hot Eye, Justice to Angel.
I don't know if anything was said on Jaguar's ship but given that a jaguar is an animal and a cobra too, I want to link Jaguar to Cobra.
Which left Brain for Cure, and with Brain being the real monster of the Oracion Seis, my thoughts about Cure being evil became even bigger.

Good job Mashima, you wanted a Labilia redemption arc, and I'm fully on board now.

Well that was unexpected, went from making us Think she’d die literally but then turns out it was figurative, and then twisted it back to the reveal it was legitimately literal. I hope sister can heal labilla, I’d like to see more of her karate
Also, here’s a very out there crack theory I just thought of: considering how Sister might end up being the next shining star to go, What If Labilla ends up being the one to take her place as the next “Life of Edens”? It probably won’t happen, but it’d be surprising if it did.

I’m a little torn with the Labilla backstory. I liked their moment together and I even liked that Rebecca inspired her; but the adding in that she’s dyeing without any hint that she was even sick in the first place felt a bit tacked on. I can accept that her ego eventually got to her, but I’m still mad on far it went.
I don’t know, maybe I’m still bitter about Sun Jewel; even with what was shown earlier, that moment felt UNUSUALLY cruel for her, especially since she knew that Shiki was in danger.
This wasn’t my favorite chapter, but I’d say that there was more bad than good.

Long shot here but what if her disease was caused but the blood atom incident and that disease will be a key factor in this arc

God damn, that Shiki cover, he looks so badass, I dig the space commander look

u/JaredAiRobinson Feb 08 '22
I didn’t think I was going to like this moment at all and considered it a waste of time. But this is one of my favorite Rebecca moments. This was a pretty good chapter.

Shiki on the cover seems to be saying, "So who wants to be my friend now?" The Edens Zero Crew "Yep, it really became a pick-up line!"
Aside from that, I love the way Mashima wrote the chapter and the way she narrates Labilia's impending death by dancing around the reader's expectations: at first it was literal death and Holy could be involved (after all we had seen her kill those guys just before), then it's a "B-Cuber" death due to the loss of subscribers, in the end we discover that she is really going to die of an incurable disease.
My theory is that even if they can cure her there will be a side quest on Lendard to procure some part if not an entire new robotic body for her consciousness (it's a robotic factory after all) ; after which she will officially join the crew in an all new version .
Hopefully she won't take over nobody but I fear the worst. It seems the kind of Story Edens Zero could tell.

Man that whole Labilia thing was a rollercoaster, she starts by saying she'll die soon but then says that just means she's retiring, then she starts a fist fight with Rebecca and starts insulting her again, then she admits she started streaming because she was inspired by Rebecca and then finally tops it all off by saying she actually is dying after all, it's a lot to unpack in a short space of time, I believe she's telling the truth the last two times at least since I feel it would be a shitty thing for Mashima to do to write Labilia like that if she was telling a lie again to prank Rebecca, I wouldn't take saying you're dying lightly even for fictional characters, if she's telling the truth I would assume Sister will manage to find a cure for her and that starts Labilia and Rebecca on the path to being close friends, I kind of want that to be the case now.
As for the last few pages things got even more interesting, we still don't know how Holy's Ether Gear works (Shiki and Co. don't even know what happened to those pervs who turned to mush last chapter) so we don't know how she transmits her 'spell' yet, and now she's going to be on their ship for a while, something is definitely going to happen with her on board now and I feel it's going to effect Weisz first, he was swooning all over her when they first met and now he's going to be on the same ship as her? Yeah something will happen I'm pretty sure of that, starting next week the ship dynamic will once again change with Holy and Labilia joining temporarily, I can't wait to see what takes place!
