Edens Zero's Hiro Mashima Shares Fierce Shiki Art

By Nick Valdez

The series creator behind Edens Zero, Hiro Mashima, has shared an up close look at Shiki Granbell with some special new art! Edens Zero is quickly nearing its 200th chapter milestone, and over the course of the titular crew's space adventures fans have grown to know more about each of the distinct characters. It's been an especially big journey for Shiki as while he started his space traveling adventure with the idea of making as many friends as he could along the way, he's also learned about many more of the darker sides of the universe he's had to come to terms with.

Much like how with Fairy Tail, Lucy Heartfilia was technically the main heroine and Natsu Dragneel was the main one in the big fights, in Edens Zero it's the same for Rebecca Bluegarden and Shiki's dynamic. The two of them have been growing thanks to the influence of the one another in their journey to find Mother at the center of the universe, and now Hiro Mashima has showed off a cool new look at Shiki's profile with a special new sketch to honor the fighter shared with fans on Twitter. You can check it out below: 

If you wanted to check out the manga run as it heads into the big 200 chapter mark, you can find the Edens Zero manga's newest chapters released each week with Crunchyroll. As for the anime, a second season has been confirmed to be in the works but no release information has been confirmed as of yet. That also means there is plenty of time to check out that first season run, so it you wanted to catch up you can find the 25 episode first season now streaming with Netflix.

They tease the series as such, "It is the year X492, an age in which people freely travel through the universe. Rebecca, a video-creating B-Cuber, visits the robotic world of Granbell and meets a young man with special powers: Shiki, who's lived his entire life among machines. Soon Shiki is exploring the cosmos with Rebecca, encountering new places, people and things, and making friends along the way."
