Following a heart-stopping conclusion to their encounter with Drakken Joe, the Edens Zero crew eagerly prepares for their next thrilling journey. However, unexpected and unsettling developments quickly arise, plunging Shiki and his friends into yet another dangerous conspiracy. The resurgence of Demon King Ziggy and his diabolical plans for human enslavement pose a formidable threat, forcing the crew to confront yet another immensely powerful adversary.
As the Edens Zero battleship departs from the familiar Sakura Cosmos and ventures into uncharted cosmic territory, a whole new realm of adventures awaits Shiki in his relentless pursuit of finding Mother. Yet, these adventures inevitably come with treacherous paths and unparalleled evil lurking in the shadows. Undeterred, the crew courageously presses on, determined to uncover the secrets of the cosmos and find the answers they seek.
Space Pirate Elsie Crimson
After the Skull Fairy arc in Season 1 of Edens Zero, Elsie Crimson faded into the background and had no significant involvement in any developments. However, when Edens Zero was in desperate need, Elsie appeared again, rescuing the doomed battleship from the vengeful former Demon King. Though her sudden arrival may be unsettling, she thoroughly explains recent events, offering a few plausible explanations.
During her previous visit to Granbell and Ziggy's grave, Elsie detected an unusual Ether emanating from the lifeless body of the Demon King. She discreetly placed a tracker on him to monitor any potential incidents. Her quick thinking allowed her to step in and prevent the Edens One from obliterating the Edens Zero battleship. Elsie revealed that it appeared a sinister Ether had taken control of Ziggy's body, and the person they now saw before them was a completely different persona, disguising themselves as the Demon King.
Bracing Dragonfall
: Elsie's Role and Loyalties in the Oracion Seis Galactica and Edens ZeroAt the onset of the series, Dragonfall is frequently mentioned, depicted as a magnificent fortress of radiant, gilded Dragons encircling the Sakura Cosmos, serving as a form of protective enclosure. These Dragons are generally docile and hold a neutral stance towards oncoming spacecraft. However, due to the destructive trajectory and violation of Dragonfall by Edens One, the once serene golden Dragons undergo a drastic transformation, becoming highly aggressive and engaging in indiscriminate assaults on the Edens Zero battleship.
The daring escape from Dragonfall demonstrated the impressive combat abilities of the Edens Zero, highlighting its prowess in comparison to the Edens One. Through the utilization of the Ether Link connection, Ether Gear users can customize the ship's weapons to unleash powerful Ether barrages. This further reinforces the notion that the strength of the Edens Zero is a reflection of its crew, as exemplified by the immense enhancement of the battleship's attacks due to Shiki and the rest's own Ether abilities. Thanks to the Ether Link system, the team swiftly overcame these god-like entities, swiftly traversing through Dragonfall and ultimately exiting the vast Sakura Cosmos.
Entering the Aoi Cosmos
The next destination for the Edens Zero crew is the Aoi Cosmos, an Outer Cosmos within the world of Edens Zero. While details about the Aoi Cosmos are limited at the moment, the series has provided some insight into this expansive world, offering a glimpse of what lies ahead. The term 'Aoi' translates to 'fish' in Japanese, and the cosmos aptly embodies this concept with its oceanic theme in outer space. Operating on unique principles of physics, the Aoi Cosmos features deep-sea-like environments within the vastness of space, where various types of fish gracefully float throughout the cosmos.

The power structure in the Aoi Cosmos differs significantly from that of the Sakura Cosmos. While each planet in the Sakura Cosmos has its own political system, the Aoi Cosmos is governed by a single ruler, Poseidon Nero, whom every planet must submit to. Not much is known about this enigmatic figure, although it has been revealed in the series that he has connections with the Oracion Seis Galactica. Given his dominion over an entire cosmos, it is expected that his power surpasses that of Drakken Joe by eons.
However, being a member of the Oracion Seis Galactica does not necessarily dictate a character's goals and motives. This is evident from the fact that Elsie Crimson, despite being part of this supposedly antagonistic group, stands with the Edens Zero crew. This opens up the possibility that Poseidon Nero could potentially become an ally, although this is mere speculation. At present, the Edens Zero crew is preoccupied with the corrupted Demon King, adding further complexity and confusion to Shiki's journey.
