Episode 28

**A Wind Blows Through the Sakura Cosmos** is the 28th episode of the *Edens Zero* anime, and the 3rd episode of the second season.

Shiki's group brings Weisz to safety in Sibir's bar. Because of his injuries, Rebecca is sent to deliver the medicine, but while getting there, she faces a new enemy.

## Summary

Laguna what Weisz is wearing, which he answers is Arsenal Mark I and punches him. He then reconfigures a gun on his left arm and fires bullets, but Laguna blocks them with his water. He tells Weisz to not underestimate water, as it can even cut through metal, and demonstrates by cutting his suit. Weisz tries to fire bullets again, but they are blocked once more. He then uses Drum Buster, creating a dark explosion, but his enemy avoids it as well. Laguna tells him to not make speeches as he loads his weapon, but Weisz calls himself a hero and uses Atlas Flame. Laguna mocks him for using fire against water but realizes that he's surrounding themselves in a ring of fire. Weisz reconfigures his right arm into a giant hand and prepares to attack but Laguna catches it with his Water Hand and throws a barrage of Water Shot at him, damaging his suit further.

To finish him off he shoots a Water Laser, but Weisz blocks it with his giant hand. His suit warns that his remaining Ether is at 10% and shutdown is imminent. Weisz wonders what to do, when Hermit tells him to activate the suit's cooling system at maximum output. He then realigns the pipeline to the arms and freezes the beam of water. Laguna is shocked by this and gets punched in the face, knocking him to the ground. Just as Weisz tries to get him to turn his friends back to normal, he is shot from behind through his abdomen and falls to the ground. Shiki and the others are returned to normal, unaware of what happened. They find Weisz with a bullet wound and wonder where the shooter is. From afar, the sniper calls Laguna pathetic and prepares to kill them. Claiming that he, the flame sniper Fie, never misses his mark.

Shiki and the others try to tend to Weisz. Fie remembers that his orders were to bring them alive, but he's too excited and plans to kill them already. Pino scans the area, finding the bullet in the ground and calculates its trajectory. She deduces that the bullet came from approximately 7km away. Fie realizes the little bit has figured him out, but he prepares to fire a flame bullet. Pino tells them to hide behind the tree, but Shiki decides to try to catch it. Fie fires the bullet, which Shiki catches with his Ether Gear and sends it back. It misses Fie and he prepares to target once more, but finds a smokescreen. Shiki's group wonder where the smoke came from and Sibir shows himself, telling them to take Weisz to his bar.

After bringing Weisz to Sibir's bar, they inform the others in the Edens Zero. Since the dock is closed and that everyone knows what they look like, they aren't able to leave. Because of this Hermit decides they should send Sister through another entrance. Sister hears the plan, but is busy with the interrogation and tells them to send medicine instead. She scares Maria a little, before telling her that she knows what she really is and to stop pretending that she's human. Rebecca brings the medicine made from Sister's Ether, Sister Energy, to the launch catapult and gets into a Taurus FT-003. She exits the Edens Zero and sees the Belial Gore, but notices something coming towards her from the space fortress. A bird-themed starfighter that has wind surrounding it. In the starfighter, Sylph the Element of Wind reports for duty.

Rebecca faces the enemy starfighter and finds a swarm of drones coming from above her. Sylph activates them and they start shooting at Rebecca, who dodges the attacks. Witch and Hermit inform her that the Taurus's firepower should be enough to get past the drones. Rebecca manages to shoot down a couple, but there are still too many. She then locks on to all of them and sends homing missiles, destroying them all. However, the starfighter is still there as she thought she had one missile locked onto it. Looking closer she sees that it's circling the starfighter. Sylph uses her Ether Gear and sends it back to her. Rebecca unconsciously activates Leaper, making her starfighter quickly dodge the missile. Everyone is amazed at how fast the Taurus moved, which Hermit and Witch note that she has the makings of an Etherion master. Because bringing the medicine to Weisz is urgent, Rebecca and Happy decide to escape.

Hermit tells them to sneak through the unused material loading gate that she'll hack into to open. Sylph remarks how fast Rebecca is, thinking that she has a wind blowing for her, and is determined to stop it. Meanwhile, Sister Ivry interrogates Maria, saying that her best option is to tell everything that she knows and go hide on a far-off planet. Maria accepts reveals her true form, a Space Slime, warning Sister that no one has defied Drakken and lived. With Shiki's group, Sibir apologizes that he can only give first aid. He adds that they have a hospital, but with everyone looking for them they can't go. Shiki asks why he helped them, but Sibir clarifies that he helped Weisz as they were friends. Rebecca and Happy manage to sneak into the material loading gate, but find wind and suspect the bird pilot to be there. Immediately, they are sucked into a ball of wind, dropping the case of medicine, and Sylph declares that their wind has stopped.
