**Star Drain** is the 43th episode of the *Edens Zero* anime, and the 18th episode of the second season.

After his defeat, Orc warns Shiki that he cannot beat Shura, claiming that he is more powerful than him. Meanwhile, Elsie and Justice have arrived on the planet.

## Summary

Britney turns her body into smoke and charges at Rebecca, electrically shocking her, Happy, and Pino calling them small fry. Mora hears that Homura cannot use her full powers in the heat and blasts glue at her. Not falling for the same trick twice, Homura slices it, only for Mora to heat it. Back to Orc, Shiki declares that it is his job to stop someone from his family from doing something wrong. As he enters Overdrive, he points out that what Orc's group is doing is just as evil as what Ziggy did and that he will protect robots. Shiki grabs Orc's face, who realizes that he can Overdrive, and is finished off with Meteor Breaker.

Orc lands on the ground, amazed from Shiki's power, but states that he will never beat Shura, another gravity wielder more powerful than him. He comments that gravity attracts gravity, and that he, Shura, and Ziggy are destined to fight one another. Weisz and Couchpo get onboard the Edens Zero where the Shining Stars explain what is happening. Hermit needs his help to stop the virus from the Enormous Satellite Server. Weisz wonders why they cannot just destroy it, which Hermit tells him that they have to modify it to return the planet back to normal. Elsewhere, Elsie's crew encounters a horde of robots charging to attack them. While pitying on them, Elsie uses her Ether Gear to protect her family, equipping Star Drain: Foresta, and casting Grand Chariot on them.

In a forest nearby, Justice senses Elsie's presence and declares that she will be arrested by his authority as an Oración Seis Interstellar. Meanwhile, Pino and Happy have short-circuited leaving Rebecca to face Britney by herself. The Beast member asks what her Ether Gear after sensing an unusual power despite its very low numbers, making Rebecca takes her shoes off and announces that it is speed as she activates it. At the same time, Homura is burnt by Mora's glue. The latter asking who she and her friends are, but states that it does not matter as death awaits for those who challenge Nero and calls their naive righteousness sickening. Homura stands, saying that she can endure the heat, but that she cannot bear insults of her friends.

Around the Edens Zero, despite their work, the drones keep coming. Witch and Sister tell them to back up Weisz and Hermit as they head to the Enormous Satellite Server that is transmitting the virus. While Weisz declines any help, Hermit says they do as there will be more drones guarding the server. Meanwhile, Homura continues her fight. Mora uses his glue to send a flaming log at Homura, but the swordswoman manages to cut it in half. Homura changes to Tiger Form, gain three long blades around both her hands, and tries to slash her opponent. However, it goes through him because of his Glue Body. He then counters by sticking his foot on her and crashing her down.

Homura cuts the glue off of her, and continues to clash. As they do so, Mora rants about not being satisfied with breaking robots, preferring to see the despair and pain in their faces and manically asks to see that face on Homura. Homura pierces her claws through Mora's chest, but it has no affect. Delighted to see her face like this, Mora looms over her and poor's hot glue from his face and says that it will never come off. This gives Homura an idea and kicks dirt on the man. She then throws mort dirt with her claws. Mora notes how the dirt does not even itch him, which Homura throws more dirt, along with pebbles and wood chips. Mora calls her annoying, but the swordswoman points out that he is now completely covered. Mora thinks she is trying to get him stuck so she can run away and shows that he can deactivate his glue body on a whim. Homura smiles and unleashes onslaught of slashes. She then tells him to look in a mirror to see the face he so longed to behold.

After defeating Mora, Homura collapses from the heat, but Shiki catches her before she hits the ground. He places her on his back to carry her to a nearby spring, but gets frightened by a spider, leaving Homura to drag him in the direction. Meanwhile, Rebecca charges and strikes Britney, but her foot passes through her opponent's smoke body. Britney remarks that she is not very bright and angrily rants how she despise stupid women as she strikes. Rebecca notices the spot that was hit has rotted and dodges the woman's Poison Mist attack. Britney is striker again, but realizes that she is seeing an afterimage as Rebecca runs away with Pino and Happy. The smoke woman remarks her stupidity again as she chases her. This makes Rebecca go through a path with flames.

This makes Britney's smoke body float up, having learned this from Miyako's channel. Using this chance she escapes from Britney. On Nero 73, a woman apologizes to Shura for being unable to answer his call last night. The two ladies with Shura tells him to not pick on her so much, which the man makes them float and crash into the ceiling. Shura, Nero's son, tells the terrified girl to not get any funny ideas, saying that women are a glee a dozen and that everything in this cosmos belongs to him.
