Foresta, the lush planet the Edens Zero crew visits in the Aoi Cosmos, swiftly transforms into a chaotic battleground with three opposing factions. Nero's Beast Squad, the Edens Zero crew, and the corrupted androids of Foresta find themselves locked in a deadly confrontation, where the future of Planet Foresta hangs in the balance.

Shiki Vs. Orc

: Conquering the Formidable Beast Squad: A Triumph in the Aoi Cosmos

After the forest was devastated by Foresta's androids, the Edens Zero crew was scattered, each member forced to confront their own adversaries. Amidst the chaos, Shiki found himself isolated, facing off against Orc from the fearsome Beast Squad. At first glance, Orc appeared to be a formidable adversary, effortlessly taking down the androids. However, it quickly became evident that his strength paled in comparison to Shiki's.

With a victory against an Oracion Seis Galactica member under his belt, Shiki has already demonstrated his extraordinary strength surpassing that of any ordinary Ether Gearist. Given that Orc serves as nothing more than a lackey for Nero, it came as no surprise that he stood no chance against Shiki and his Gravity Magimech Overdrive. The swift battle concluded within mere seconds as Shiki effortlessly overwhelmed and vanquished Orc – an outcome expected for the protagonist of the series.

Homura Vs. Mora

Among the three battles that took place, Homura's encounter was undeniably the most intense, as her own life hung in the balance. Homura found herself in a precarious situation when facing Mora's Hot Glue Ether Gear, which forced her to think on her feet and adapt swiftly during the confrontation. The scorching heat emanating from the burning forest, combined with Mora's adhesive substance resembling molten magma, pushed Homura into a corner, truly testing her limits. Unfortunately, even her bladed weapons proved ineffective against her opponent's glue-like physique, making all physical assaults futile.

Rebecca Vs. Britney

Despite facing insurmountable odds, Homura defied expectations by successfully halting Mora's relentless advance. This battle not only showcased Homura's exceptional cunning and strategic prowess but also her ability to outsmart a seemingly invincible adversary through quick thinking and astute assessments. Despite Mora's ability to transform his body into a formless glue, akin to Britney's, Homura ingeniously discovered a loophole in his overpowering abilities. This remarkable feat solidifies Homura's rightful place among the esteemed Four Shining Stars, as she has consistently demonstrated unparalleled capability for the role.

Rebecca finds her underdeveloped Ether Gear to be a hindrance during solo battles, as evidenced by her struggle against Britney. Britney's ability to transform into a cloud and evade physical attacks made Rebecca's Cat Leaper kicks ineffective. Despite her speed, it proved useless against an opponent capable of assuming a gaseous form. Without Happy and his Ether Blasters, Rebecca's contribution to the battlefield appears limited. However, her determination allows her to make up for her shortcomings.

Instead of engaging in direct combat, Rebecca chose to take a different approach by fleeing, accompanied by Pino and Happy. Utilizing her remarkable speed, she effortlessly evaded Britney's toxic cloud, which seemed impossible to trace. Although the forest fire had subdued Britney, she remains an active participant in the ongoing battle in Foresta. This skirmish only reinforces the fact that Rebecca is still considerably weaker than the others, positioning her as a mere support in the Edens Zero crew.

What Does This Victory Mean for Edens Zero?

The Edens Zero crew has experienced numerous triumphs in the Sakura Cosmos. Nevertheless, this particular encounter marked their inaugural confrontation in the new cosmos, intensifying the entire ordeal with an added layer of anxiety and trepidation. Nonetheless, the crew effectively showcased their skill and aptitude by engaging in a fierce battle against Poseidon Nero's formidable Beast Squad, comprised of his most formidable fighters.

However, it is clear that these adversaries pale in comparison to the challenges that lie ahead for the crew. Despite its modest nature, this triumph acts as a foundation for the Edens Zero to establish itself as a fresh contender in Poseidon Nero's domain. Moreover, the discovery of another Gravity Ether Gear user inhabiting the Aoi Cosmos adds an additional layer of fascination to Edens Zero's premise. This unveils fresh connections and potential for Shiki within the Aoi Cosmos, as well as the chance to gain further understanding of Gravity Ether Gear and its origins.
