**Planet Guilst** is the 9th episode of the *Edens Zero* anime.

Rebecca finds herself kidnapped by Rogue Out along with the other B-Cubers and find out that they are being sold to Illega on Guilst. Meanwhile on the Edens Zero, Shiki vows to rescue Rebecca, when Weisz reveals that he snuck on the ship with the mysterious woman, who introduces herself as Homura who wants to aid them and reveals that she has an Ether Gear as well.

## Summary

On a spaceship, a tied-up Rebecca wakes up in a large open cell with numerous other B-Cubers who are also restrained and who many she recognizes. A trio of men, including Jinn, appears on the other side of a glass wall and tells the group to be quiet, and that they belong to Sister now which catches Rebecca's attention. Aboard the Edens Zero, Witch programs the ship to go to Guilst while Shiki angrily vows that he will save Rebecca. Meanwhile, Rebecca realizes that both Happy and the Guild Master are not with her. She demands the three men to know who they are and what is going on. Ganoff tells her to be quiet and informs her that she and the other B-Cubers have been kidnapped on the behalf of Sister to be sold to Illega on Guilst. Mosco reveals that they are the mercenaries known as Rogue Out. Several of the B-Cubers are worried about being kidnapped by outlaws but Rebecca is confused as to why Sister would order them to do this. One of the B-Cubers begins crying, which annoys Ganoff, making him threaten her to shut up. Rebecca quickly stands in his way to stop him. Ganoff reminds her that she's tied up with a Digital Bind that he can control and he tortures her in amusement. To his surprise, Rebecca does not appear distressed but instead wonders aloud whether she can use it on her B-Cube channel. Before Ganoff goes any further, Jinn snatches the controls from him and reminds him not to damage the merchandise. Ganoff admonishes Jinn off for his failure to capture his assigned B-Cuber, but Jinn states that a man using Gravity Ether Gear interfered, which Rebecca overhears. After taunting Rebecca once more, Ganoff and his two comrades leave the B-Cubers alone.

The other B-Cubers introduce themselves to Rebecca and thank her for her brave actions. Rebecca suggests that the group try and break out by working together but a resigned Milon tells her that it is impossible. Rebecca encourages the group by telling them that they're geniuses and that they will find a way to escape. Back aboard the Edens Zero, Shiki learns more about Guilst from Witch while Pino tends to Happy. Witch states that there is nothing she can do for the unconscious Happy but if Sister was here that she could fix him as she has the power to heal wounds. Shiki is frustrated that the ship cannot go any faster as he is desperate to save Rebecca, but Weisz appears along with a woman and tells Shiki to think rationally. The woman introduces herself as 'Homura' and that is not an enemy. Weisz reveals that when he learned the news of Rebecca's capture he met Homura who wanted to go on to the Edens Zero in order to challenge the Demon King. She struck a deal that she would help save Rebecca if she could be taken along. Weisz agreed so long as she would fulfill one other condition which he does not name. To prove how she can be of value to the team she reveals that she has been honing her own Ether Gear which Witch seemingly recognizes from the patterns on her body.

On the planet Guilst, Ganoff leads to captured B-Cubers onto the surface of the world in chains. They are horrified to see the desolate world with mounds of skulls and cybernetic corpses and a slave girl who collapses before them. Ganoff mocks a terrified Rebecca by telling her to be obedient towards her new master Illega. Within Illega Tower, inside of a large cell, the B-Cubers are imprisoned and greeted by their captor, Illega. He welcomes them to his residence and reveals that his plan is to convert all of them into furniture as it is his hobby. He gives them a live demonstration from the other room, revealing a kneeling girl who was once a superstar on another planet. Despite begging for her life one of Illega's soldiers shoots her with a petrification gun that converts her into solid stone. Rebecca and the others are horrified and some beg for mercy which Illega cruelly rejects. With a snap of his fingers, Illega releases a flood of bubbles into the room that melts through the clothing of the B-Cubers, stripping them all naked.

Meanwhile, the Edens Zero completes its fast travel course and arrives near Guilst. Pino does some research, and finds out that Jinn is part of the mercenary squad Rogue Out, and they prepare to find Rebecca. Witch cautions them to be careful, as common sense is not common in the hive of scum and villainy that is the planet. They walk around the streets, where Pino thanks Weisz for fixing Happy. He corrects that he just repaired him and that he can't get Happy to function, unlike his older counterpart. Shiki wonders how the town was built here, which Pino informs that the towns were built on a large tree called Mechdrasil and that they are at the lowest level. Shiki is excited about learning the wood Ether but is quickly dejected after thinking Rebecca and Happy would like to make a video about this. This strengthens their resolve to save Rebecca and the other B-Cubers back. They soon find Rogue Out's headquarters, a decrepit church. While Weisz warns them not to just charge in, but Shiki does just that. They find the place empty with an enormous angel statue at the end. Suddenly a voice calls out, asking what they want. The statue splits in half and reveals the source of the voice is an android, who introduces herself as Sister, leader of Rogue Out.
