Deadend Crow

**Deadend Crow** (デッドエンド・クロウ, *Deddoendo Kurō*?), also known as the **"Titan of Eternal Darkness"** (常闇の巨人, *Tokoyami no Kyojin*?), was a giant machine body operated by Cure, and one of the Oración Seis Galáctica.

## Synopsis

### History

Deadend Crow was created by Cure, a renegade member of the Oración Seis Interstellar who regarded him as his "greatest masterpiece". As part of Cure's twisted agenda to create a hero who will defeat the villain he made, Crow was unleashed on the planet Swan where its people were celebrating Atmos Day and began to slaughter everyone including the younger sister of Holy, Sara, as the most deadly act of terrorism in the Yukino Cosmos 13 years ago. He then took Holy and the few other surviving women to be hung up naked for his sick entertainment where all but Holy perished and she swore revenge on him. This event became known as the "Bloody Atmos Day Incident" which had over a million casualties. Prior to Ziggy's reawakening, Crow was considered as the most dangerous machine.

### X495 arc

At some point, Crow decides to team up with Ziggy, making Lendard their base of operations. He wanders around the cityscape, unknowingly passing by Connor as the man flees the planet in his small spaceship.

Crow stomps on a scanning facility, killing 99 human collaborators inside much to his amusement. He is then confronted by Ziggy where he tells the Demon King that he did not know he had kept human pets around, which the gigantic bot points out that Ziggy is going to kill them all anyway after being informed that his ally intended to absorb their various abilities. After receiving the stern warning, Crow then notes that a measly hundred humans will not be enough and asks when Ziggy is going to feed him enough to actually fill him. Reassured that he will have the entire Kaede Cosmos's human population to himself as a reward, he knows that he will have to destroy the Edens Zero for Ziggy first. Although, Crow asks the Demon King why he cannot use the Edens One.

### Lendard arc

In the middle of battle across Lendard, Crow roams around the area and confronts the Edens Zero when they approach him, maliciously grinning at them. Inspecting the Demon King's warship in front of him, Crow is unimpressed of Ziggy's claim of the Edens Zero to be equal with the Edens One before attacking it with his laser eyes. He easily shrugs off his enemies' attacks with a grin on his face.

Pursuing after the Edens Zero, Crow easily smashes through the city's buildings while ignoring the enemy fighter barrage upon him. He grins at the Edens Zero and the female-shaped Knight Gear with a staff standing against him. Although he stands around menacingly until Holy charges toward him and attacks him with Lightning Ether to no effect, amusing him. After being doused in Fire Ether, Crow questions the identity of the "insect" and throws a punch at his enemy for annoying him. But his attack missed and hit the ground, devastating the entire city around him instead. Struck again with Ice Ether from Holy, Crow reminds her that it is not going to work before he is distracted by her Knight Gear's missile barrage to the face. He is shocked when his core melted down by the woman's Ether Gear but then retaliated by unleashing his body's mass of wires to drag the Steel Sorceress 94 into him, smirking with amusement. Having dealt with his pesky enemy, Crow glares at the Edens Zero flying away from him and declares that he won't let them escape. The Galáctica member reveals his Overdrive, transforming into a more monstrous form and charges at the Demon King's warship at full speed to punch it, which sends it crashing into the ground. Meanwhile, Crow manifests a human-sized avatar within his gigantic android body to confront Holy whom he trapped inside, and explains to her that it is an Ether Jammer used to prevent any use of Ether Gear in his turf. When Holy asked if that is his true form, he retorts that it is simply a manifestation of his personality and warns her that taking him down will not defeat his giant self at all. Crow easily catches Holy's punch, chastising her for not listening to his explanation and calling her a "helpless little girl" without her Ether Gear. However, he takes one look on Holy's face before breaking her right arm as he wonders if he had seen her before. After Holy brings up the Bloody Atmos Day that took the lives of everyone including her sister Sara, Crow checks on the data via holographic eye terminal to confirm her statement. With sadistic glee, he reminisces that he let Holy live by stripping her naked and hanging her up in the square, relishing it to be one of his best work. Grabbing Holy by the throat to slowly choke her, the Galáctica member mockingly asks her if he want to do it again and tells her that nobody survives two fights with him. Suddenly, Crow's arm is cut off by a slice of wind attack which freed Holy from his grasp, much to his surprise.

Recognizing the Wind Ether Gear, Crow questions Jinn and Laguna Husert how they managed to use their abilities despite the Ether Jammer. His giant self in Overdrive form is maneuvered around by Kleene Rutherford, who uses her wind powers to absorb the Ether Jammer's electronic signal, before chasing after the recovered Edens Zero. The Galáctica member is shocked that his enemies discover a way to bypass his Ether Jammer, wondering what kind of monsters they have on their crew. However, he is caught off guard by Holy immediately using her Melt against him, destroying his avatar within seconds. On the other hand, the giant Crow continues his pursuit on the Edens Zero, tanking the missile barrage thrown at him. Crow unleashes a swarm of Drones from his giant android body to confront Holy, Jinn and Laguna and attack them with endless numbers. Eventually, he manages to catch Kleene's starfighter with his fingers, preventing her from using Wind Snatch to absorb his Ether Jammer's electronic signal anymore and nullified the Ether Gears of the intruders. Noticing his prey escape from his grasp, Crow throws a punch at Kleene and sends her crashing into the ground brutally. After the threat has been neutralized, Crow unleashes a powerful breath attack at the Edens Zero and successfully damaged it at the port side wing as he maliciously grins. Crow stands around menacingly, unaware of Laguna leaving his giant body via starfighter flying through a hole of his titanic body.

Fully fused with his creator Cure, Crow is enhanced with his Ether levels growing enormous and out of control as the armor melted down by Holy that exposed the core is slowly regenerating. He rampages with an eye laser attack as Cure gloats through him that the powerless humans are insignificant and worthless. However, the Galáctica member is unaware of Eraser's presence from above and his core is exposed once again by the White Flash's erasing power. Crow powers up his mouth blast to fire at his enemies as his creator declares that they have met their dead end. But Deadend Crow is destroyed by the Edens Zero's Star Bringer, completely obliterating him and Cure.

## Powers and Abilities

Deadend Crow was a member of the Oración Seis Galáctica, a group that is stated to be the cosmos's strongest warriors, being renowned for crushing entire planets. Holy describes Crow to be a "living fortress" and Elsie Crimson is wary of his power. Ziggy acknowledges Crow to be equal to Elsie and God Acnoella.

**Overdrive** (オーバードライブ *Ōbādoraibu*): Deadend Crow is able to access the power of Overdrive, allowing him to transform into a more monstrous appearance and become even more powerful. In this state, he gains enhanced speed, being able to easily keep pace with the Edens Zero as it tries to escape from him and knock it down with one punch despite the ship's shields being at 100%.

**Eye Beams**: Crow is capable of firing a pair of powerful laser blasts from his eyes toward his enemies.

**Mouth Blast**: Crow possesses the ability to fire a powerful laser attack from the mouth enough to successfully damage the Edens Zero with Connor noting it to be "a mighty firepower".

**Energy Absorption**: Crow can absorb energy, forcing his opponent to either use physical attacks to hit him, or to target his core.

**Ether Jammer**: Crow is equipped with an Ether Jammer, which blocks the use of Ether, such as Ether Gear, within his body. This can be cancelled out with an Ether Jammer Canceller or by absorbing the jammer's electronic signal.

**Avatar Creation**: Crow can create a variety of avatars within his own body as a means of self-defense. One of these Avatars resembles his own body, which he describes as a manifestation of his personality but clarifies that destroying it will not take down his giant self. There are others that resemble more generic robots, acting as an immune system by attacking invading outsiders. Crow can seemingly create an unending army of these avatars as extensions of himself.

**Camouflage Shield**: Crow possesses a shield that camouflages him, and by extension his creator Cure, from being detected by the Eye of Venus.

**Immense Strength**: Due to to his sheer size, Crow is incredibly strong and is easily capable of crushing through buildings and causing massive destruction with one punch.

**Immense Durability**: Crow has an incredibly durable body, being able to easily shrug off attacks from the Edens Zero and its starfighter squad, and missile attacks from Steel Sorceress 94.
