Episode 7

**Warship of the Demon King** is the 7th episode of the *Edens Zero* anime.

Shiki continues and finishes his fight with Elsie the space pirate, only to find out that what he fought was a Kawpicatt. The space pirate informs them that the ship they are in is for Shiki and was originally the Demon King's ship. The group starts to clean the ship of its infestation, when an android appears before them and restores the ship to its true form, the Edens Zero.

## Summary

Shiki faces off against Elsie and remarks that her skull face means that she isn't human. Elsie demands to see the power that he inherited from the late Demon King and she immediately launches an attack and strikes him with a tentacle. Shiki redirects his gravity to move to the ceiling, but Elsie slams him back down to the ground. Evading more of her attacks, he attempts to hit her with his Gravity Fist, but Elsie counterattacks before he can do it. In a flashback, a younger Shiki spars with his grandfather and is unable to beat him, as he uses his Ether Gear to suspend Shiki in the air and stop him from fighting. When Shiki complains about this, the Demon King offers him the chance to learn how to control gravity. However, even after being taught gravity techniques, Shiki is still unable to beat him. In the present, Shiki punches back Elsie and demands to know what she is. She simply repeats her introduction back to him and asks who he is, which Shiki declares himself as an adventurer who plans to go find Mother outside of the Sakura Cosmos. When Elsie counters this as being a vain goal, Shiki resumes the fight. In the past, Shiki asks why his grandfather has stopped moving and tries to fix him. Michael tries to explain that it is too late but Shiki refuses to accept it as his grandfather hadn't even taught him the Gravity Comet yet. In the present, a fleet of warships from the Interstellar Union Army of the Cosmic Government appears led by Justice who is accompanied by Victory and Creed. An abnormal Ether reaction aboard the Skull Fairy gets his attention and he recognizes that it is not Elsie's Ether. Shiki continues to fight Elsie while she explained that even Demon King Ziggy himself could not find Mother which surprises the young man. The levels of Shiki's Ether reading approach at a hundred thousand, as he activates his Gravity Ether Gear through his entire body as he launches himself at Elsie, taking her down with Gravity Comet.

The Skull Fairy’s self-repair system fixes the damage done by Shiki to the hull of the ship as he stands over the unconscious body of the defeated Elsie Crimson. Rebecca, Weisz, Pino, and Happy find Shiki and they question if the person he defeated is really Elsie. As they watch, however, the body of Elsie dissolves into a pile of goop from which a Kawpicatt S4 emerges in its true form. The laughter of the real Elsie fills the room and she appears once more on a holographic screen and gives the group a quick backstory on the parasitic lifeforms and how they infested the Skull Fairy. Elsie admits that she has been on another ship the whole time and announces that she is giving the ship to Shiki and his friends. She goes on to explain that the ship used to belong to the Demon King in the past before it fell into her hands and that she always intended to hand the ship over to Shiki. Elsie explains that the Demon King took the ship on a journey outside of the Sakura Cosmos in search of Mother but was unsuccessful. Instead, he returned with Shiki, who he took to Granbell to raise as he knew he was dying. Pino is saddened to learn about the death of her master. Elsie finishes her story by telling them that the Demon King told her to give the ship to Shiki when he left Granbell and that she fulfilled his request because she owed him a lot. Despite hearing the full story Shiki is reluctant to just accept the ship from her, but Elsie reassures him that one ship is nothing compared to her entire fleet which stuns the group. Jesse reveals that the Interstellar Union Army has them surrounded and they are beginning to fire warning shots at Elsie's fleet. Elsie offers to fight off the Interstellar Union Army in order to buy time for Shiki and the others to escape. Shiki thanks her for the help and for the ship and remarks that since she was a friend of his grandfather, then that makes her his friend too. Elsie smiles at that and reveals one final fact, that the Demon King told her that anyone who reaches Mother will be born again. Her final words confuse the group but Weisz acts quickly to move the ship to a safe location by pulling a lever. The moment he does so, the ship warps to another location. Rebecca discovers that they've emerged close to Blue Garden and that they should head back there.

Deep within the Skull Fairy, a mysterious woman emerges from a pod that is marked as ‘E4’. Rebecca estimates that it will take them another six hours to reach Blue Garden while Happy observes that it will be impossible for them to dock there in a pirate ship. They consider using the Aqua Wing after they get close but Weisz interrupts Rebecca by reminding her that it is his ship. Shiki states that he considers their newly acquired Skull Fairy to belong to all of them. Rebecca and Happy leave the control room to begin cleaning the rest of the ship as they fear that bugs may still be on board, while Pino ponders on the reason why she was created. Rebecca and Happy stumble across an enormous shared bath while Shiki and Weisz clean another area of the ship. After cleaning the bath out, Rebecca and Happy relax by taking a dip and discover that the bath is suitable for both humans and machines. As they bathe, they notice that Rebecca's body is beginning to glow with symbols resembling Ether Gear which Happy guesses is due to the bathwater stimulating the Ether in Rebecca's body. Overjoyed at the possibility that she may be able to use a power like Shiki, Rebecca pumps her fist into the air and accidentally fires a destructive beam of energy that pierces the ceiling and breaches the hull of the ship. The atmosphere rushes out of the hole, dragging Rebecca and Happy upwards but the breach seals itself quickly thanks to the ship's self-repair feature. The two of them crash into the ceiling and fall back down with a splash. Rebecca stares at her hand in amazement at being able to use some kind of power.

Later, Shiki, Happy, and Rebecca show off their new outfits which they had found on the ship to Weisz who reveals he found some new clothes too. Rebecca asks Weisz about how he learned Ether Gear but he evasively avoids the question and the group ponders if the room they're in belonged to the Demon King. Shiki sits down on the Demon King's throne while proclaiming confidently that he will take the ship to see Mother. As he sits down though, he unknowingly activates protocol A7 which transfers ownership of the ship officially to him. As the ship welcomes him and acknowledges him as the Demon King, a female android calling herself Witch appears before them and states she is the one in charge of maintaining the ship. She also proclaims that she will obey any command Shiki gives her which he quickly tests by having her bark like a dog. Weisz points out the state of the infestation aboard the ship which Witch attributes way due to her functions being suspended for a long time. She claps her hands together which removes the infestation from the ship and rebuilds the exterior appearance of the ship back to its original form. As the ship finishes transforming, Witch proclaims that the ship was originally known as the Interstellar Warship, Edens Zero.
