**E.M. Pino** (Ｅ(イー)Ｍ(エム)＝ピーノ *Ī Emu Pīno*) is a miniature anti-bot machine created by Ziggy, the former Demon King. She becomes the friend of new Demon King Shiki Granbell and joins the crew of Edens Zero.

## Appearance

Pino is a small robot, having a pink helmet that seems to resemble a bob-cut hairstyle with an upside-down triangle symbol with a stylized "P" in front of it. She has a small set of eyebrows and has eyeliner with little blush on her cheeks. Additionally, she has a pair of antennae resembling rabbit ears and has multiple joints along her arms and legs. Due to Sibir's harsh punishments, she had to use a screw for a left leg after a part of it was torn off. Weisz has since used his Ether Gear to restore her lost leg. By the year X495, her antennae are a dark color and lack the inner ovals from before, while her eyes are sharper.

Pino's initial attire consists of a small blue and green dress with a white collar, a pair of small fairy-like wings from behind, and a pair of shoes. On Sun Jewel and onwards, Pino wears a magenta, sleeveless dress with a pink heart on it. By X495, she now wears a dark sweater with a heart at front and a light trim and collar, dark shoes, and a bunny backpack.

In later chapters, Pino has a more chibi appearance, with a bigger head, and a rounder body.

Pino's digital avatar resembles a young human girl with rabbit-like ears. She wears a necktie that is decorated with a single large heart.

## Personality

Pino appears to have a rather indifferent expression with an indifferent personality, she also seems to be rather laid back about certain situations such as when Shiki wants to be her friend, which was uncertain at first but allows it. She also can feel emotions at times such as fear of angering Sibir and even runs off to him. She also is self-aware to express her inability of performing tasks such as dancing. Though she does seem to be rather defensive and disobedient of any orders received when it comes to her memories of her master. Pino wishes to someday become human.

## Synopsis

### History

Pino was created as the personal property of the Demon King, whom she designated as her master, having her latest maintenance dated in the year X492 by Weisz Steiner. She was subsequently sent to the planet Norma, which had fifty years of time stolen by a Chronophage, leaving it perpetually stuck in the year of X442. Her briefcase was found by Sibir and his gang, who sought to exploit her EMP functions for monetary gain. She became the subject of abuse and cruelty, such as getting her leg torn off and replaced with a screw when she was unable to dance for Sibir's entertainment and having her memories of her master erased, forcing her to designate Sibir as her new master, which was recorded on her B-Cube.

### Norma arc

Approximately one week after having her memory erased, Pino is stolen in her briefcase by Weisz Steiner, who mistakes the case's contents for money and flees Sibir's Gang. At an underground bar, after Shiki Granbell mischievously takes the briefcase from Weisz and argues with him, Pino's EMP activates and shorts out his Satan Gravity, which causes him to drop her case and open it by accident. Pino emerges, thinking she heard her master's voice, before realizing her mistake and introducing herself, momentarily shorting out the bar's lights as a result of her EMP. Shiki is impressed by her powers and eagerly asks her to be his friend, to which she accepts after a moment's consideration. When Weisz questions Pino about her master, thinking she belongs to Sibir, her damaged memory reloads and she completely registers Sibir as her master. Overcome with fear, Pino runs off to meet him to avoid incurring his wrath. She returns to Sibir's side at his hideout, meekly agreeing to her part in his plan to take over the city.

### Digitalis arc

When Shiki and his friends enter the world of Digitalis to search for Hermit and bring her back to Edens Zero, Pino chooses an avatar of a young human girl with rabbit-like ears and meets up with her friends who chose their respective avatars in Digitalis.

### Sun Jewel arc

As the Punishers arrive, Pino, Happy, and Rebecca decide to help Valkyrie's Army fight them, where she notes that her EMP is fully charged. She estimates that while the Punishers have high defense against physical bullets, they have low Ether resistance, allowing Rebecca to take a group of them down. She senses someone coming with high energy readings and sees Fuzaiten Baku of the Zaiten Three. She watches as he attacks a group of Valkyrie's Army and nearly hits Rebecca, only to be blocked by an armored man who calls himself Arsenal. Pino identifies his voice as Weisz's which e repeats that he's Arsenal.

### Belial Gore arc

#### World No. 29

A week after Shiki's death at the hands of Drakken, Pino lies beside Happy in a junk pile, both deactivated and broken.

#### World No. 30

Pino and the others run through the halls searching for Labilia, but are soon encountered by Drakken's goons. She prepares to fight, where Rebecca and Weisz knock out the remaining members after Shiki takes most of them out. Afterward, she tries to analyze the building to find any jail cells, but Rebecca stops her as asking one of the goons on the location of the jail cells would be easier. They later find Labilia in her cell, perfectly fine, when Wiesz notes the inconsistency with Rebecca's recall, making Pino confused as well. Her attention changes to the call of an old Sibir.

After landing on the floor below, Pino and the others want to go back to Shiki, but Amira tells them to leave Shiki be with Drakken and reminds them that they have to get to the life support device. Pino is worried for what could happen to Shiki, but Amira tells her that he is tough and to have trust in him. She listens as Amira states what they need all to do, where she and Weisz are tasked to tinker with the device. They then head off to where the device is. Once they find the device, she listens to Amira as she is about to reveal its secret when Jinn appears before them tasked to protect the device.

### Red Cave arc

After escaping the giant space fish in the Poseidon Nero Sector, she marvels with the others at the sight of the Aoi Cosmos outside their windows, comparing it to an aquarium. They soon arrive at the Fire Planet, Red Cave, amazed by the pretty view of an ocean.

When Shiki returns and shows what happened to his Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima, Pino is in awe at what happened to it. She listens as Nadia explains that the Mother Ether found a vessel and went inside of it on its own. That the treasure kept here was a part of Mother, saying that it is possible to find Mother as many other pieces like this can be found anywhere across the cosmos, called Relics. These work like a compass to find others, if they find enough and absorb their Ether it might lead them to Mother. Hearing Rebecca complaining about this, she agrees with Happy that they have made good progress. She listens to Nadia again, where she states that only by absorbing Mother Ether from other places will it change its properties. With this knowledge and something to lead them to Mother, she hopes Nadia can see Andrew again. Before they leave, she listens as Witch tells Nadia the truth of what happened to Andrew and is surprised to learn that the body they found from the ship was him. She is given the memory chip from the ship and projects the recording, watching with everyone and learning what happened. Pino and the others follow after Nadia as runs off and breaks her cable to find Andrew.

They find Nadia by the ship, where Pino remains silent as Witch tells Nadia that it is alright for a machine to love a human and that the android has a heart. She watches as the relic, noting how it looks like a candelabra, breaks out of the ship and shines a flash of light, restoring the robots of the planet. It continues to return to the planet to its rightful state, where the water levels start receding, showing that the night is ending as she watches the sunrise with everyone. Later, Pino and the others return to the ship and leave the planet.
