Gravity’s Gonna Crush You
Edens Zero Chapter 66 Review/Recap
When I heard what the planet Sun Jewel was like, I knew Edens Zero was in for a fight. In the end, I was right: Shiki went to war with Lady Kurenai for abandoning Homura and killing Valkyrie. As a result, the Scarlet Woman’s reign’s about to end, crushed by the gravity of Shiki’s fist!
Recap
The fight with the Kurenai Dragoon starts wearing on Shiki, but the young demon king continues to dodge every attack. Frustrated, Kurenai resorts to her mech’s missile barrage. Shiki then lands on top of the mech and converts the missile’s energy into gravity. He then proceeds to crush the dragoon with his Gravity Impact. Thus, Kurenai becomes so terrified that she wonders if Shiki’s even human.
With Kurenai thus defeated, Nino shuts down all of her forces, leaving the rebels victorious. As the rebels and crew celebrate their victory, Shiki shows up with Kurenai, captured and at his mercy. He said he’d bring Kurenai to Homura, but how will she react to seeing her mother again?
Review
When Shiki said he was going to crush Kurenai with his gravity, I knew it was as good as done. However, I didn’t expect the fight to be over so fast. Based on how much trouble Shiki had, though, I think the fights are starting to be a challenge for him. At the least, I think he’s going to have to get stronger to fight Drakken Joe.
As for Kurenai, her reign over Sun Jewel’s effectively over, and for one reason alone: she made Shiki mad. As we’ve seen, Shiki embraces the title of Demon King when he gets mad. The look he gives Kurenai’s enough to melt solid steel!
I enjoyed this chapter because it shows off how cunning Shiki is and how much he’s mastered his Gravity Ether Gear. All that’s left is for Homura to settle her mother issues, then they need to go after Drakken Joe. He’s still after Edens Zero, and its almost defenseless with most of the crew on Sun Jewel!
I Give “Gravity’s Gonna Crush You” a 4/5

Carrying One’s Will
Edens Zero Chapter 63 Review/Recap
The battle for the fate of Sun Jewel continues. As the evil Scarlet Woman’s forces attempt to crush Drakken Joe and Edens Zero. While Rebecca and Weisz take down one of Kurenai’s lieutenants, Shiki faves her himself in giant. Another typical Shonen fight, but it’s still entertaining to watch, and it does bring up a good point about carrying one’s will.
Recap
Shiki’s fight with Kurenai’s turning against him, as her mech’s coated one Ether, making his Ether Gear useless. Thus, Shiki changes tactics and uses his gear on the environment. Shiki forces Kurenai into the slums, proclaiming that he’s carrying Valkyrie’s will. Kurenai says that carrying the will of a machine is nothing but naive idealism in the face of reality. Shiki counters this, and her attack, by saying that facing reality like her has done nothing to make the world a better place.
Meanwhile, Rebecca and Weisz regroup after their fight with Baku, and get clothes. Weisz is naked, and Rebecca’s missing her panties (don’t ask!). They resupply inside a weapons locker, but right when they’re ready, they’re trapped. The culprit is none other than Nino, who tells Rebecca that the only way to get out is to beat him. Left with no choice, Rebecca’s forced into a B-Cuber vs B-Cuber battle!
Review
So much for a straightforward Shonen fight, I guess. Too often, fights in the Shonen genre of manga resort to the “who punches harder” formula, but Shiki knows how to use his brain. Using his ether gear on the environment was a clever way to even the odds.
As for Kurenai’s speech about carrying one’s will, I’m with Shiki on this one. She’s basically saying that being an adult means not trying to cake the world a better place. It’s that cynical attitude that will ensure Shiki’s victory. I’d rather be a naive child than someone like Kurenai.
The next chapters going to be an interesting one, of you ask me. Gamer vs the Otaku, two of the biggest niches on social media. B-Cuber vs B-Cuber!
I Give “The One That Carries on the Soul” a 3.5/5. Nice Speech
