"Edens Zero" is a story centered around the friendship between humans and machines. While the intense battle scenes tend to draw attention, the famous lines that could only be spoken by humans, or by machines, are equally a highlight of the series. This time, we'll be introducing some of Shiki's famous lines! These lines are essential to discussing the series, so be sure to check them out in the anime!
If you have a friend who will shed tears for you, cherish them forever.
These are words taught to Shiki by the Demon King Ziggy when he was a child. To Shiki, these words are like Ziggy's will and are his driving force to this day. I believe it's because of these words that she continues to search for friends even after leaving space.
Friends aren't just machines or humans!!
This is Rebecca's famous line when Shiki is attacked by Granbell's machines, which have gone out of control due to a virus. The out-of-control machines had raised Shiki like family, and Shiki is confused by their sudden outbursts. Seeing this, Rebecca, despite being held captive, worries for Shiki. This line is a direct reproduction of Ziggy's words: "I can shed tears for you..."
Fight for those tears!!
This is Shiki's famous quote when he stands up to save Rebecca. Ziggy's famous quote to Shiki continues: "Fight for those tears!" when a friend appears who can shed tears for him. Even though they're infected with a virus, the machines he's grown up with are like family. Even so, Shiki clenches his fists and fights for his "friend who can shed tears for him."
I'll see the rest of Grandpa's dream!!
This is a famous quote from Shiki when he fought a copy of Elsie. When Elsie told him that "even Ziggy couldn't reach Mother," Shiki showed no signs of disappointment, reacting with excitement and even a look of delight, saying, "I guess there was something Grandpa couldn't do." It's a very Shiki-like quote, as he says, "I'll see to the end of Grandpa's dream," rather than, "To make Grandpa's dream come true."
That will be the first step in connecting hearts.
This is Shiki's famous quote when he rescues Rabiria from Gin and his gang. Rabiria, who was about to be kidnapped, was the one who had been bullying Rebecca, and when Shiki asked if he had come to help, he bluntly replied, "Honestly, I don't care about you." Still, Shiki followed Ziggy's instructions to "lend your strength to those who need help," and uttered this famous line to save Rabiria. Rabiria is usually arrogant, but this time she was taken aback by Shiki's words.
"Restrained, Struggling!" This video... surely gets a lot of views!
This is a famous quote from Rebecca after she was kidnapped by a mysterious assailant and digitally bound. She collapsed to the ground, crying out in agony and showing a look of agony on her face. The other B.Cubans around her, who had also been kidnapped, were in tears and terrified, but Rebecca herself didn't seem to mind being the subject of the video. In fact, she looked excited and was breathing heavily. It seems she was more aware of herself as a B.Cuban than as an adventurer.
From here on, it's time to fight to protect our comrades!!
This is a famous line from Shiki when he reunites with Jin. The two had previously fought when Rabiria was nearly kidnapped, but now they're facing off again at Guilst, the enemy's base. Shiki calls their last encounter a "fight," but this time, since Jin is an ally of the criminal who kidnapped Rebecca, Shiki emphasizes that it's a "fight" rather than a "fight."
Who cares, you idiot!!
This is a famous line from when she kicked the person who was using her and calling himself Sister. Sister's powers had been sealed by a machine, but after being rescued by Wise, she headed towards the person who was abusing her powers. Just seeing his face caused her to lose her will to fight, and she begged for her life, saying, "I still worship him as a god with miraculous powers," but Sister yelled, "I don't care, you idiot!" and kicked him without listening to her.
I'm going to get my friends!! It doesn't matter what kind of place it is.
This is a famous quote from Shiki as he heads off to a dangerous location to rescue Hermit. Christa, where Hermit is said to be, has already been destroyed by a cheating enemy. The monster who informed them of this tried to stop Shiki and his friends, saying it was "dangerous." However, Shiki said this famous line, and his companions looked at him as if it was only natural.
Don't laugh at my...friend...
This is a famous quote from Pino when Rebecca was tricked and ridiculed by Ravilia. Searching for Valkyrie's whereabouts, Rebecca arrived at Sun Jewel and was looking for the way to the Labor District where Shiki and the others had been taken. Ravilia appeared and asked Rebecca to film a collaboration video in exchange for showing her the way to the Labor District. Rebecca agreed to the collaboration and filmed it in a playful way at first... but in the end, she was fooled by Ravilia's lies and made a laughing stock of herself in front of everyone. Pino protested with a frustrated expression and tears streaming down his face.
I'm not a champion of justice. If you hurt my friend, I'll even become the Demon King!!
This is a famous quote from Shiki when he found Homura, who had been captured and injured by the enemy. Shiki is generally a gentle person who wants to befriend anyone, but when his friends are hurt, his eyes change and he becomes enraged. This time, he was even more enraged than usual, having just witnessed Homura being injured and kidnapped right in front of him. After saying this line, Shiki dodges the enemy's attack and strikes him in the face. He then uses gravity to throw him towards the ceiling, performing a mysterious attack called "Ceiling Drop."
We continue to move forward with our weakness. One day, it will turn into strength.
This is a famous quote spoken by Shiki when he suddenly attacked the Crimson Lady. The Crimson Lady is Homura's mother and the one who took Valkyrie's life in the past. Homura shed tears for a while, grieving the death of Valkyrie, who was like a mother to her. However, the Crimson Lady tells Shiki, "Tears are the taint of the weak. The victor always continues to laugh." Shiki then uttered this famous line, prefaced by saying, "If shedding tears is a sign of weakness, then so be it."
You were my teacher, my friend, and... my mother.
This is a famous line from Homura, who said her final goodbyes to Valkyrie's body. Having declared her separation from her biological mother, the Red Lady, Homura said her final goodbyes to Valkyrie before leaving Sun Jewel. There, Homura described Valkyrie as "a teacher, a friend, and a mother," and finally departed with the words, "Thank you for everything, Mother." Although the two are not related by blood, Pymura considers Valkyrie her only mother, and she inherits the name Valkyrie along with her mother's will.
It's so touching to see a hero appear without an audience.
This is a famous quote from Wise, who appeared as a hero of justice, wearing his Arsenal uniform. The enemy at the time had the ability to "turn anyone who sheds tears into water," and he apparently said "It brings me to tears," referring to this ability. Incidentally, he apparently wanted to play a hero whose identity was unknown, but since his voice remained the same, his teammates easily discovered his true identity.
I will definitely defeat you someday. And I will become your friend, even though you have no friends.
This is a famous quote from Shiki just before his entire crew is captured and executed by Draken. By this time, Edens Zero has already fallen into Draken's hands, Wise's arm has been chopped off right before his eyes, and Shiki himself is shot in the leg and in dire straits. Even so, with tears of regret, Shiki tells Draken, "I will definitely defeat you someday," and then goes on to say that he will become Draken's friend. In this world line, these are Shiki's final words, but will he be able to fulfill this vow in another world line?
