Episode 15

**Great Kaiju Shiki** is the 15th episode of the *Edens Zero* anime.

Homura continues to chase Amira, learning that the spy is really after Drakken Joe. Before the spy could end her, Homura deflects back a bullet that nearly hits her. Meanwhile, Hermit suggests they use cheats, which Weisz lets her use his account, where she removes Jamilov's invincibility and turns Shiki into a kaiju.

## Summary

After being saved by the real Homura. She explains that when she arrived on this planet, she was in a jail cell and spent a day making her escape and another to gather information, leading her here and is angered at finding someone using her name. Speaking aloud about her interest in taking a male appearance, the others take this as confirmation of her being the real Homura. Annoyed, Jamilov uses his scythe to eat the imp monsters and fires a laser beam to destroy more of the town. The impostor escapes but Homura chases her down, while Shiki decides to fight the mass murderer. Weisz is annoyed that Jamilov didn't get hurt, which Rebecca notes that he has the perfect cheat. She explains that he has illegally modified the planet's data to give himself an advantage, making Weisz wonder how they are supposed to beat him. Hermit blandly answers that they just have to use cheats of their own. In the forest, Homura is still chasing her impostor, who summons her steed. Homura follows suit and summons her own Turn-to-Timonium and notes the unusual riding posture of her impostor. Realizing that she doesn't have to mimic her behavior anymore, she reveals that she can copy a person's appearance, personality, and memories, changing her appearance back to her own. She informs that she used Homura's identity to get close to Jamilov and introduces herself as Amira, a spy of the Galactic Intelligence Agency. Homura points out how loose-lipped she is for introducing herself, which Amira is stunned for channeling some of Homura's personality.

While being chased, Amira reveals that she was trying to infiltrate Drakken's inner circle through Jamilov. Homura asks why she had to impersonate herself, which Amira states that a spy can't use their own account while undercover. The spy then pulls out a gun, as she can't let Homura live as she knows her true identity. Homura deflects the oncoming bullets and states guns are ineffective against her. However, before she could finish Amira shoots at a tree branch and causing it to fall, making her fall off her Turn-to-Timonium. Amira laughs at her and changes her gun to sniper mode and fires one last bullet. However, Homura deflects the bullet back at her, surprising Amira before she logs out. Somewhere else, Amira exits her pod, noting how close that moment was but assures herself that no one will ever catch the real her. Back at the town of Crysta, Hermit suggests they use cheats of their own against Jamilov. Rebecca refuses to do this as a gamer, but Weisz happily accepts to do it. Because he has no attachment to the planet, he doesn't mind being banned and starts analyzing the code. Meanwhile, Shiki continues his fight, but Jamilov isn't affected by any of his attacks and mocks him. Rebecca surmises that he has infinite health, practically making him immortal. Weisz is having difficulty, which Hermit guesses that he doesn't know a thing about programming. She decides to help them as she wants Jamilov gone as well. However, she'll be using his account to run the cheat so she won't get banned, just like what Jamilov is doing. Weisz is fine with this and Hermit undoes Jamilov's invincibility while also multiplying Shiki's stat and turns him into a kaiju. She rhetorically asks if he thought he could beat her in programming.

Everyone is surprised by the Kaiju Shiki, which he enjoys the feeling and says how Kaiju are awesome. However, it is quickly undone by Jamilov after inputting some codes. Pino advises Shiki to transform again, but the young man states he can't control it. Jamilov takes his chance and charges to attack him. However, Hermit quickly equips Shiki with Light Armor, protecting him. Jamilov undoes that and Hermit equips him with Demon Armor. The two quickly go back and forth on equipping Shiki with armor and undoing it, and Jamilov decides to equip Rebecca with a bikini, which Hermit allows. Tired with this battle, Jamilov activates the final code and the town and the panicking NPCs start getting erased. Weisz 442 asks Hermit to undo it, but she says she can't as it's the world's annihilation program and that no one can rewrite the program after it has been executed. Jamilov mocks them that the place will be gone in three minutes. Shiki attacks Jamilov, while Hermit questions the young man as the town and NPCs are just data, but Shiki states that they're alive and have hearts. Shiki wants to use the three minutes to Jamilov down. The mass murderer mocks Shiki more, but the young man punches him and actually hurts him. Hermit points out that players can also use real-world abilities here, where his highest defense stat would theoretically be 999. However, Shiki's attack in the real world would be around 2,000 to 2,500 by the planet's standard. Adding those to Digitalis's damage formula would equate to 4,500 damage from each of his hits. Meaning that if Jamilov's maximum health stat would be 100,000, then Shiki will wear his hp down in 22 hits, which he does by using Gravity Fist Frenzy. After the mass murderer's defeat and logging out, the town and the NPCs are restored to normal as Hermit took the chance to normalize the code. Weisz tries to give a speech to Hermit, but he disappears as he's been banned. Shiki and Rebecca laugh as he was trying to say something cool. Homura returns and the Trollburglar is revealed to be alive and compliments the swordswoman's kimono. Shiki then asks Hermit to return with them to the Edens Zero.

During a flashback, Ziggy, thanking the Four Shining Stars for their service, sets them free to choose their own paths. Hermit asks if they can go back with him to Granbell, Ziggy says she can and help him raise Shiki but deduces that she doesn't want to do that. After some thinking, Hermit wants to help humans and make friends with some of them. In the present, Hermit wakes up in the Edens Zero and is welcomed by Witch, Mosco, and Sister. Hermit clarifies that she is not joining them again and is just taking a break. However, she quickly falls to the floor due to being out of shape from her long dive in Digitalis. Hermit declines Sister's offer, claiming she only needs a little maintenance before going back and wants them to put her back on Iron Hill. Meanwhile, Shiki and the others exit their pods in the Dive Room, albeit completely sweaty. Pino is saddened that she is back to being a bot again. In the meeting room, the crew discusses what they should do as Hermit has impounded herself in the Dress Factory. Witch wonders what happened to her to lose her beautiful smile. Shiki then decides to go off to talk to her, but suddenly an alarm goes off and the ship is tilted. A screen appears and shows a man named Spider, who reveals himself as Jamilov. Rebecca fearfully explains that he's part of a crime syndicate and that very few hackers in the Sakura Cosmos are at his level. Spider boasts that he's the number one hack and mocks them for their ship's weak security and has hacked it. He then forces the ship to spin on its side. He mocks them further as the ship is being demolished from the inside.
