Not going to lie, this episode and arc reminds me of the Magic Games arc from Fairy Tail. Shiki got matched up against a weirdo right off the bat...

Rebecca got matched up against some weird boxer guy. But yeah, Edens Zero had to throw in fan service when Rebecca is up lol. I couldn't take her fight seriously at all. Honoka's match is probably my favorite from this episode. At least her fight is meant to be taken seriously and her opponent is no pushover. Good job on her victory!

Solid episode and I'm glad they got all the fights in this one, the crew had to think oustide the box (apart from Shiki) to defeat their opponents, now Xiaomei tells them where to go and that Mother is indeed real, so they aren't on a wild goose chase. Xioamei had some really funny moments during the fights, pretty different from what she showed before and after. Cannot wait for Sun Jewel.

Put any reference of a coliseum battle in Fairy Tail and apply it here in Edens Zero. Thanks Hiro Mashima.

Xiaomei sure as hell be pumped for the battle in her own lavishness, because she doesn't know the results for the 4-vs-4 battle, the future can be anything. Convenience confirmed.

Round 1: Shiki vs. Zorg's Metal Bogey...and call that a match lols, he's no match for Shiki's Gravity Fist Ether Gear attack. That's One Punch Man levels of 1-hit K.O.s.

Round 2: Rebecca vs. Flanker Yocchi, a match between B-Cubers. The latter definitely know what earns views that reminds her of the time in Guilst, and a foot fist for an easy victory.

Round 3: Weisz vs. Highway Ena, and he makes use of Pina's EMP power to stomp him easy. Talk about playing dirty in the most sensible manner.

Round 4: Homura vs. her own master Valkyrie, the last of the 4 Shining Stars...though a fake at that and memories intact from their past together as well as Xiaomei knows of her personality. Still though, the affinity is real, and she overcame her past struggles.

The location of Valkyrie has been acquired: the planet of gemstones, Sun Jewel. For an extra, it's about Mother, and unfortunately Xiaomei doesn't know her location for trade. The one who grants all wishes, the universe's greatest sorcerer, and strive to reach her before evil does.

Xiaomei's thigh shots are luscious, and it's back to being the narrator job for her.

Homura's fight was decent, others were just gag so I wasn't even looking forward to those! Mashima said himself in the manga that from Sun Jewel, Edens Zero starts acting like a real battle series, so I'm curious to see what's the anime's approach on that!

Because any of the other fights except Homura's are not meant to be taken seriously here!

Godbless them for Xiaomei thigh shots.

Pretty good episode, we got to find out more about Homura and her relationship with Valkyrie. Kinda expected already that Homura will fight Valkyrie based on the OP, but didn't expect that it would just be a copy of her.

I wonder what Shiki's relation with Mother is, Xiaomei was dropping some hints that they're related. It wouldn't be an Edens Zero episode without Rebecca's clothes vanishing lmao. Back to narrating Xiaomei goes, I hope we see more of thirsty Xiaomei in the future. Looking forward to the Sun Jewel arc.

The fake android Valkyrie is supposed to be weaker, so I'm very interested to see the real one's strength, still nice that we got a bit of backstory for her first meeting with Homura, the Sun Jewel planned looks pretty good, and the whole mother plot with was said Xiaomei is still mysterious hmm

Mock battle to satisfy the desire of the time oracle, if i can be honest here.

Robot kids had a lot of fun cheering them there. Warmth my heart completely.

Oh well, Homura flashback, the first time she met with Valkyrie. Its looks no good. Too bad its just stop at that. Whats she's doing at the gem planet tho? Well, once again, MeiMei lines always intriguing. Shiki Mother's what? Her blessing son? Don't hang it just like that, you woman xd.

Okay y'all, back to the ship, and hopefully there's more tension goin on next. Lets see...

The one on one battles were so hilarious, except for Homura's ofc. Also it's now confirmed that Mother exists and she can grant powers. Makes me all hyped up for the moment when they will finally meet her.

that sword fight was offensively bad. The general rule about writing fights is that you don't include real knowledge about fights unless you have proficient knowledge in that type of fight. And what we saw here was an absolute disgrace. Pivot foots have nothing to do with 180 frontflipping in midair. what abhorrent monstrosity did my eyes just witness?

also this all knowing lady is an affront to good writing. Nothing she says is essential to the plot or characters, it's all superfluous and incredibly obnoxious. Why have her open and end all the episodes/arcs?

Wow! Another good ep. Little fights with a lot of tactics and a very good way to see what every member is good in fights:
- Shiki, pure power
- Rebecca and Happy, quick thinking
- Weisz, Tactician and dirty game (Pino = EMP Bomb)
- Homura, agility fight and quick improvement in the fight

Now that miss sexy, Chinese-dressed, oracle is pleased (hardly), let's make a quick Sharon Stone "Basic Instinct" reference, and tell them the soo desired information: Where it is Zor... I mean, Valkyrie; and one other little information to make them focus on the price.

Now let's go back to the ship and find our last Nakama, then we go to the Grand line and find ONE PIECE!!.... err... I mean: Find MOTHER!!!
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

Nothing about the fight did anything against swordsmanship and think your overreacting a bit much here especially this is more training fight on this. Also don't get what you getting at on the rest.

I provided multiple reasons why I believed the fight to be a bastardisation of actual swordsmanship, it's going to take more than just an empty statement to the contrary to change my mind.

if you don't understand why raw, dialogue exposition is inherently a bad thing to be avoided, then I suppose you may have no problems with a character opening and closing every single episode, telling what you should think about it like you're some pre-schooler that doesn't have the brains to draw their own conclusions.

I got Yandere vibes from Xiaomei where's she's drooling with heart eyes...

She's a really great character tho, wish we could have more of her, but she's pretty much just a plot device. (aka the narrator)

___ ___ ___

Also, lots of Legs and Feet, *STEP ON ME* CBT *Gachihyper*

And that crossed leg swapping... damn you void-block...

___ ___ ___

Other note, "as expected of mother" when Xiaomei was talking about Shiki... this confirms my previous theory (maybe), that Shiki is the "reborn" of someone else and got picked up by the Demon King. (which is why in earlier episode Shiki said he think he met mother before)

And with that, now I think what or who Shiki was previously... Since he was able to reach mother.

___ ___ ___

Kid Homura is so Kawaii (so cute, gotta use this)

Feels like Valkyrie's disappearance is similar to what the Robots did with Shiki, where they leave their student so they can go on adventure and learn to be stronger.

Xiaomei can see many futures but can still get kicks out of seeing which future is chosen...

Shiki pure power

Rebecca and Happy's skills

Weisz and Pino instant EMP victory

And a lesson for Homura; if she can beat a fake Valkyrie at this stage, then she's on a path of progression to match real Valkyrie.

Weisz just went Rebecca mode 😂

Valkyrie being Homura's opponent was quite predictable even though it's just a replica.

“If you have something to say, then say it. Words will give you strength.”
That's some motivational quote and all but I guess that effected Homura in the wrong way...now I can see why Homura speaks her mind aloud XD

Ah yes... a tournament arc as expected. Shiki beat his opponent really quickly. Rebecca got her tits out almost immediately. Loved seeing that. LOL Weisz won his fight as well. And, Homura had to fight a replica of her master, Valkyrie, not exactly. And, now they're heading towards the planet where Valkyrie is.

It was an alright episode. Fights went by pretty quickly and they're already on to the next planet.
