Laguna Husert (ラグナ・ヒューゼルト Raguna Hyūzeruto) is an actor from the Aoi Cosmos and was a member of the Element 4 that served under Drakken Joe, being known as the "Spirit of Water" (水の精霊 Mizu no Seirei). He is a former member of the rebel army, Oasis, having left it for a journey to prepare himself against Poseidon Nero. After the Aoi War, he officially joins the crew of the Edens Zero.
Appearance[]
Laguna is a tall, slim and effeminate young man with short, light-blue wavy hair, matching eyes with eyelashes, and small, full light-blue lips.[2] His attire consists of a leather jacket with a key-shaped insignia at the center of it, checkered sleeves, a pair of leather trousers, and black stilettos. Additionally, he wears a pair of thin rectangular-shaped earrings.[3]
During his stay on the Edens Zero as a guest, he wears a long-sleeved, high-collared dark-colored coat with a pair of zippers on the front and back of its sleeves over a v-neck shirt, a pair of light-colored trousers, and wears his signature stilettos. On the planet Sandra, he wears a shirt with a unique circular pattern around the collar with teardrop symbols below and a triangular cut near the bottom with three straps connecting the two halves.[4]
After the timeskip, his hair has become bushy and scruffier, and now wears a dark-colored turtleneck with long white pants held by two belts, and his signature stilettos.
Personality[]
Laguna keeps quiet when Drakken commits cruel acts
Laguna is shown to be a kind person, especially when compared to the other members of the Elemental 4 and Drakken's crew. While most laugh alongside Drakken when he commits cruel acts, Laguna holds a solemn look.[5] He also attempts to comfort Rebecca during her imprisonment.[6]
In battle, he is quite a crafty trickster, goading his opponents into crying by any means in order to use his Ether Gear against them, such as making up a sob story or using an Oedo Onion as a last resort.
Synopsis[]
History[]
While growing up, he and his best friend, Harold pursued a career to become actors.[7] However, when Poseidon Nero’s empire invaded his home planet, Laguna became a member of Oasis, a rebel army against Nero's tyranny after Harold died during the invasion. During first time with Oasis, he befriended with many of its members, including the "Princess", Ijuna.[8][7] When one of his allies, including Ijuna's father were killed by Poseidon's army as well, he left Oasis and ventured into the Sakura Cosmos, in order to become strong enough to defeat Nero.[9] He eventually joined Drakken's Organization and became part of the Element 4 as the Dark Alchemist needed Ether masters of each element to help maintain the balance of his Ether.[10][11] He used his real name as a codename.[12]

World No. 29[]

Laguna battling Homura
Laguna appears before Shiki and his team in their holo disguises outside the city when Shiki starts to cry. He claims that those who cry in front of him, will never stand up again, and he turns Shiki into a puddle of water as a demonstration.[14] He states that he will make all of them cry and turns Pino into water when she begins to cry after seeing Shiki.[15] When Weisz approaches Laguna, he steps on Weisz's foot with his stilettos, drawing tears from him and he turns Weisz into water.[16] Homura draws her Soul Blade sword and Laguna summons a water blade, using his Ether Gear, and the two engage in combat.[17] Laguna then attempts a number of tricks to get Homura to cry. He eventually succeeds by crushing an Oedo Onion in her face and turns her into water. As the Spirit of Water collects the puddles in small bottles, he notices one of them is missing where Weisz then reveals himself and explained how he tricked Laguna before summoning his Arsenal Suit.[18]
Laguna battling Weisz
Surprised, Laguna asks Weisz what he is wearing before being punched in the face by his armored opponent who reveals it to be Arsenal Mark I, proclaiming to be the hero who soars across the cosmos. He blocks Weisz's bullets with his Ether Gear, telling him not to underestimate the power of water. Directing the water, Laguna attacks Weisz and damages his suit in retaliation, stating that water cuts through metal. The Spirit of Water assaults Weisz with a water whip, pushing him back. He raises the water to block Weisz's Weiss Cannon and says that such little pellets will not work on him. Laguna dodges Weisz's Drum Buster with water as his transportation, surfing away to safety. Hearing Weisz about to make another hero speech with another weapon, Laguna asks him if he can load his gun without doing that. When Weisz unleashes Atlas Flame, Laguna believes him to be stupid if he thinks the flamethrower is going to work against his Ether Gear only to learn that his opponent made a ring of fire around them. Trapped, Laguna is shocked that the fire is everywhere and coughs with tears from the smoke which Weisz notices. Wiping away the tears in annoyance at his opponent messing with him, the Spirit of Water states that he will flush Weisz down the toilet after making him cry and turn him into water. Laguna blocks Weisz's Metallica Explosion with his Water Hand and blasts him with Water Shot, injuring his opponent and further damaging his suit. Ready to finish Weisz off, Laguna unleashes Water Laser which his opponent tries to block with the Metallica Explosion gauntlet. Laguna tells Weisz to not bother for his water can crush iron and it is time for him to weep and wail in defeat. Changing his mind with sadistic glee, he proclaims that Weisz will already be dead before he gets the chance to cry. However, Laguna is shocked to see Weisz using the cooling system of his suit to freeze the Water Laser, leaving himself wide open. Screaming that it is impossible, Laguna is defeated by Weisz who uppercuts him and crashes on the ground injured and unconscious.[19]
Laguna turns Rebecca into water
Later on, Laguna regains consciousness at some point and turns Rebecca into a puddle of water by using her tears, saving her from Daichi's torture with Pain's Tree inside the prison cell. He reprimands his fellow Element 4 member that anyone who cries in front of him turns into water and that Rebecca is not supposed to get hurt. When Daichi is angry at him for ruining his torture session on Rebecca, the Spirit of Water swiftly reminds him that the young woman belongs to their boss and he would get in trouble if something happens to her, knowing how scary Drakken can be. After Daichi immediately stands down and offers him chocolate, Laguna refuses.[20]
Laguna stands infront of the intruders
Laguna is with his fellow Element 4 and Drakken Joe at the Execution Site where Shiki and his friends are held captive and at gun point before them.[21] When Drakken destroys the Sister Energy meant for Weisz and laughs, the actor did not laugh with Fie and Daichi, remaining silent along with Jinn and Kleene.[22] Laguna remains quiet as Drakken is pleased to see the Crew of Edens being shocked and afraid after Weisz loses his arm to Fie as a demonstration for defying the Dark Alchemist. Seeing Rebecca cry, he sees her tears which Daichi tells him that it is not the time to not turn her into water. Laguna understands and comments that it is real tears he is seeing.[23] The Spirit of Water stays silent with Daichi as Drakken lectures Shiki and his friends that there are some people in the cosmos they should not mess with.[24] He listens in silence when Shiki in tears tells his friends that it was not supposed to be like this in their adventure and tries to stand up to Drakken.[25] After the Dark Alchemist shoots Shiki in the head for his defiance, Laguna remains impassive while Fie and Daichi sadistically smirk.[26][27]
Laguna talks to Rebecca
A week after Shiki's death, Laguna visits Rebecca's room and finds her cowering, reassuring her that it's just him and not his boss. He tries to get her to eat and that sitting around won't change anything. He informs her that they were told to treat her like one of them and advises her to forget the past, saying that if she stays she will get everything she could want. He tries to get her to understand from Drakken's view, as moneylenders can't do business if people think they're soft. He also points out that her crew invaded their ship first and that what happened was awful but is just how it is. He concedes after failing to get any response, but tells her to at least take a shower as her stench brings him to tears. He reassures her that they don't have surveillance cameras in the bathroom, as they're not that crude and leaves afterward.[28]
World No. 30[]
Laguna pushed back by Witch's lightning
When the Crew of Edens launches an attack directly at the Belial Gore, Laguna and his fellow Element 4 confront the intruders.[29] Laguna and Daichi are shocked when Hermit interferes and disables Fie's sniper rifle in the process. He tells Kleene to go after the Aqua Wing, but she is intercepted by Homura Laguna faces Witch Regret as his opponent when she and her fellow Four Shining Stars equip their Battle Dresses and are ready to fight against Drakken's special forces which Laguna notes is going to be a four-on-four battle.[30] Clashing with Witch, Laguna attacks her with a water blade but is blocked by her Ether Shield. He expresses disappointment to fight a machine as he is unable to use his Ether Gear effectively on them as machines cannot cry in his honest opinion. Witch pushes back Laguna with lightning and reassures him that they do shed tears and have hearts as well.[31]
Falling to his knees injured, Laguna struggles in his fight with Witch, who compliments his skill. However, he is told that those without reason to fight cannot defeat the Shining Stars. Witch recounts her research on him, how he was an actor before retiring and is now working for Drakken, and asks his reason for fighting this battle. In response, he tells her that it is none of her business, which she understands but hopes to fight him again when he has a reason to fight. He is intimidated when she states that she fights to protect her family and will eliminate any enemies.[32] At the end of their fight, Laguna is struck down by Witch who uses Edens Glitter on him as a finishing move. He and his fellow Element 4 are lying on the ground defeated by the Four Shining Stars.[33]
Red Cave arc[]
Sometime after Drakken Joe's defeat and arrest, Laguna starts working as an actor again at the Scheherazade Theatre on Blue Garden, using a hologram to change his face into that of a middle-aged man. After his spectacular performance in a theatre play, he is confronted backstage by Witch, Jinn and Kleene. He drops the holographic disguise when Witch explains that once she makes an enemy, she will never stop tracking them, but that she comes to him as a friend and asks for his help.[34]
He agrees to help the Crew of Edens with surprisingly little resistance and one condition. Laguna travels with Witch to Red Cave and entered the Temple of the Mother Beacon, surprising Rebecca. He reminds Witch to not forget it. Laguna explains to Shiki and his friends, who recognize him as one of Drakken Joe's minions, that he really did not know of Drakken's true age and that the Dark Alchemist needed Ether masters of each element to help him maintain the balance of his Ether, hence the "Element 4". Laguna further states that by defeating the Element 4 and destroying the Life Support Machine, that is how Shiki defeated Drakken who was not at full strength, and reminds the gravity user to not forget that fact. Seeing Rebecca, Laguna recognizes her as the woman Drakken was trying to find and learns from her that she jumped through time with Cat Leaper, realizing how he and the Element 4 lost in the first place. Dropping the subject, he tells the Crew of Edens that he is here to help after making a contract with Witch. Laguna cannot believe someone like Shiki was the one who beat Drakken Joe and refuses the boy's offer to be his friend.[35]
Laguna enters inside the cave full of fire with Shiki and Witch where he comments on it and is concerned about Witch's way of thinking when she seemed unfazed about losing her swimsuit to the intense heat and ends up naked in front of him and Shiki. Although Laguna actually does find Witch cute after she covers her face in embarrassment. After Laguna is given instructions to turn Shiki into water while Witch gives him Ether coating to maintain his shape and use his Satan Gravity to traverse the cave, the actor bluntly states Shiki is gonna die. He explains that any water he makes will evaporate in this fiery cave but Witch reassures that's what her Ether coating is for. Conceding reluctantly, Laguna activates his Ether Gear and informs Witch that he needs Shiki to shed tears first. After Witch easily makes Shiki cry by using his fear of bugs, Laguna turns him into a puddle of water and comments with surprise, noting how easy it was. He witnesses Witch using her Ether coating on Shiki, giving him a human shape while he is made of water and Shiki proceeds to traverse through the cave of fire. Laguna asks Witch if Shiki can just use his Ether Gear to push the flames down which she interjects that the Ether of the cave is preventing Shiki from doing that. He is surprised when Shiki makes it through the fiery cave with ease and reaches the destination.[36]
After returning to the temple, he remains silent 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 and if they find enough and absorb their Ether it might lead them to Mother. When Weisz thinks they can just absorb all Ether in the temple, Laguna calls him stupid, pointing out that many people were here before and that it is probably not possible. He listens to Nadia again, who 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, he remains silent as the others are excited. Before they leave, he listens as Witch tells Nadia the truth of what happened to Andrew. He watches with everyone the memory chip from the ship and learns what happened. He and the others follow after Nadia as runs off and breaks her cable to find Andrew.[37]
Making air bubbles for him and Shiki, they find Nadia by the ship, where she remains silent as Witch tells Nadia that it is alright for a machine to love a human and that the android has a heart. After this, he watches as the relic, a candelabra, breaks out of the ship and shines a flash of light, restoring the robots of the planet. He notices Nadia's tears, calling them real tears. The planet continues to return to its rightful state, where the water levels start receding, showing that the night is ending as he and the others watch the sunrise. Later, Laguna and the others return to the ship and leave the planet.[38]
Foresta arc[]
Onboard at the Edens Zero, Laguna is at the Briefing Room with Jinn and Kleene, remaining quiet in the back as Weisz is agitated by their presence. Laguna reminds Weisz that he and Witch made a deal and that he is wearing stilettos, further annoying Weisz. The actor reassures that once he finds what he is looking for, he will leave the ship. Kleene asks about it, where he reveals that as he is a wanted man in the Sakura Cosmos, he wants a nice, comfortable planet in the Aoi Cosmos to live on. He is allowed onboard until he finds it, with Witch reassuring him that she will keep her promise. Laguna once again denies Shiki's request to be his friend, bluntly stating that it is not part of the deal and leaves with Jinn and Kleene.[39]
At the Edens Kitchen, Laguna converses with Jinn and Kleene at the dining table while eating food. He is glad that they are well and informs them that "Laguna" is his real name, not a codename. When Jinn comments on Laguna leaving showbiz to commit acts of evil and not even used a codename like him and Kleene, Laguna retorts back at Jinn that Drakken's "business" is evil and his sister was a part of it too. Although, Laguna admits that they were in the underworld and honestly did not think he did any wrong either, also stating that Drakken did not kill people for no reason. However, the true nature of the Dark Alchemist made his skin crawl. The actor learns from Jinn that Weisz's mother was one of Drakken's victims and reassures that he will not cause trouble until he finds the planet he likes and leaves the ship. When Mosco serves them another fresh set of food at their table, Laguna asks about him which Kleene mischievously replies that he is her brother's best buddy much to Jinn's chagrin.[40]
In his room, Laguna hears an emergency alert from Witch who informs everyone that several hostile attack drones are currently approaching the Edens Zero from the airspace above Foresta and since he is on the same ship as them, he decides to fight for it. After Witch unlocks the hanger containing starfighters and tells him to board it, Laguna understood.[41] During an aerial dogfight with the attack drones, Laguna in his starfighter comments that bots are outside his specialty as he shoots down multiple drones with ease. Laguna understands Sister's orders to not let the enemy near the Edens Zero. But then the actor sees Mosco flying in the air by slapping while destroying the drones at the same time beside his starfighter, leaving him quite confused.[42] Laguna in his starfighter continues shooting down Foresta's drones until Witch informs him that it is time to go after the main unit in space, which he asked about it with curiosity. After being informed about the giant server that is the source of the machine virus, Laguna complies with the request to back up Weisz and Hermit.[43] During the orbital battle near the server, Laguna notices Kleene moving slow in her starfighter and tells her about it.[44] The actor complies to Witch's request to head inside the satellite server where Hermit and Weisz lost contact with her.[45]
Upon entering the satellite server, Laguna uses his Tears Lover to shock Müller with his exposed circuitry. He saves Weisz who lost his Arsenal Suit earlier and surprises Hermit with his presence. When Weisz states that he does not need his help, the actor dryly comments that it looks like he did. While continuing to electrocute the O-Tech, Laguna agrees to help Weisz and jokingly gives him a discount price. He carries Weisz with his water, directing him towards Müller. After Weisz blows up the mad scientist's O-Tech body with Mortal Crash, Laguna remarks that the move was so brutal it would make Arsenal Suit cry.[46] At the computer terminal, Laguna stands silent as Hermit attempts to break through Müller's security and begins to overheat. He offers to cool her with his water by touching her on the shoulder, which she accepts. The actor remains quiet amidst the banter between Weisz and Hermit until he hears the still living cyborg head of Müller calling out her name.[47] Laguna is stoically shocked to learn that the psychopathic scientist was responsible for ruining the Rutherford siblings' lives.[48] He remains silent as Müller pathetically begs Hermit to spare his life.[49] After Hermit punches the head of Müller into unconsciousness, Laguna scoffs that his tears are filthy.[50]
Returning to the Edens Zero, Laguna is standing silent with Weisz in the Briefing Room as Shiki and his friends converse with Elsie Crimson via holographic screen transmission. After Elsie ends her communication, the actor asks them if they knew the Armored Space Pirate. After Rebecca tells him that it was a long story, Laguna comments that he can see why they would pick a fight with Drakken Joe. When Weisz corrects him that Elsie had nothing to do with as this was their fight, Laguna shrugs that he has a good point. The actor notes that the Crew of Edens could have teamed up with her but they didn't and does not understand them, annoying Weisz before leaving the Briefing Room. Walking through the hallway of the ship, Laguna internally muses to himself that until he accomplishes a certain goal, he will just keep playing the part: the part of a man who has no goal.[51]
Witnessing Shiki and the crew exiting the VR Training Facility, Laguna compliments Kleene's training. The actor states that he will think about joining the training himself while commenting that Kleene looks cute when she smiles, which upsets Jinn.[52] Laguna participates at the VR Training Facility where he spars with Kleene in a clash of water and wind.[53] After a week of training, Laguna asks Couchpo what is she doing on the Edens Zero, which Jinn points out that he is one to talk. However, the actor and the O-Tech mercenary are creeped out when the unconcerned large B-Cuber darkly asks them if the war is more dangerous than taking the food away from her.[54]
Sandra arc[]
Laguna is sitting at a table with Jinn and Kleene where they watch the Aoi News news report claiming that Salton and five other planets suffered a similar robot revolt like Foresta which the Oceans 6 are dispatched to suppress and restore order and declares that The Temple has declared all bots to be dangerous with Poseidon Shura making a public statement about it.[55]
Overhearing Shiki's intentions to storm The Temple and stop Shura from killing all of the machines of the Aoi Cosmos in the Briefing Room, Laguna tells him to stop his jokes and asks when did the Edens Zero turn into a cruise ship for suiciders, annoying Weisz. He explains that The Temple is where Poseidon Nero lives and if a civilian ship even thinks about getting close, it will end up as fish food for its 60,000-strong defense fleet, shocking Rebecca and Happy. When Shiki remains undeterred, Laguna bluntly points out that the Nero Empire has 60,000 ships and 100,000 battlecruisers standing by on the planet which the young man stubbornly refuses to understand that they have zero chances of victory much to the Crew of Edens' distress. Contemplating, the actor notes that if Shiki is serious about it, he knows someone who is willing to help but they can't call him. He states that they will have to go and visit him in person on Sandra, the Planet of Sand.[56]
10 hours later, Laguna and the Crew of Edens are on Sandra where they traverse the city. He explains to Homura that nine-tenths of the planet's surface is covered in desert. The actor bluntly tells Rebecca, who wants to make a B-Cube recording of her riding the Camelish, that they are not here to play around and tells the crew to follow him to the alleyway.[57] After hearing Rebecca and Happy commenting that it is peaceful on Sandra than expected after Shura's announcement that caused chaos on other planets, Laguna states that this planet is special. He asks Rebecca if she was too terrified to make the landfall. After hearing Weisz wondering if they are there yet, Laguna informs the Crew of Edens that they are here and shows them the entrance of the base which Homura finds rather suspicious. The actor tells Shiki that they can't talk about it here and knocks on the metal door. Laguna answers the password and is allowed to enter the base, surprising Shiki and his friends. He reminds Rebecca to not record it which gets the attention of Ibaraki who recognizes his voice. Then, Laguna and the Crew of Edens are surrounded by Ibaraki and his comrades who point their weapons at them and call him a coward. The actor states to a confused Shiki that they were his old friends. Laguna tells Ibaraki that he wants to talk to their boss, and witnesses Shiki easily disarming everyone of their weapons with Satan Gravity. He demands a shocked Ibaraki that they should let the Crew of Edens see their boss after witnessing the young man's gravity powers, only for Goodwin to appear before them instead. Laguna remains silent when Homura and Weisz learn that Oasis is a rebel army and that he was one of them.[58]
When Goodwin notices Rebecca and Happy and lowers down for a closer look, Laguna remains silent.[59] However, the actor is stoically surprised that the Oasis leader reveals himself to be a huge fan of the Aoneko Channel run by Rebecca and Happy in front of everyone, remarking with a sweatdrop that he did not expect this.[60] Laguna is unfazed by Goodwin's glare towards him when the Oasis leader calls him a miserable coward who abandoned their cause. The former Element 4 member states that this may not get them to Nero but Oasis has a chance to crush Shura and the Crew of Edens wants their help. Laguna remains silent when Goodwin declares that he will deal with him and his failure to abide by their rules later.[61] He answers a panicked Shiki that every planet in the Aoi Cosmos has an Ether atmosphere and they never really go underwater during an Aoi High Tide. Laguna implores Goodwin to help Shiki and his friends, informing him that the young man uses gravity just like Shura and he can defeat the Emperor's son. The former Element 4 member is mildly annoyed at Goodwin bluntly stating that Oasis doesn't need help from outsiders.[62]
Participating in the battle against the Imperial Army, Laguna explains to Shiki that everyone on Sandra has had their freedom taken away by the Nero Empire. As he casually dispatches the Imperial soldiers with his water, the actor states that they will never bow to Nero as long as Oasis is here. After Shiki asks him if Nero also took his freedom too, Laguna remains silent and did not answer.[63]
Laguna remarks that the Imperial Army called in the air force after noticing a squad of soldiers with high-powered jetpacks entering the city in the sky before Shiki proceeds to intercept them.[64] After the Demon King's grandson took them down with ease, the actor uses his Ether Gear to wash the Imperial troops away. An annoyed Laguna tells Shiki that Ibaraki is insulting them with a bad joke.[65] He confirms to a shocked Goodwin that Hermit did say Edens Zero. After the Oasis rebel learns that Shiki defeated Drakken Joe, Laguna states it's just like him to know that and it's not exactly public information. He advises Goodwin if Oasis teams up with the Crew of Edens, they can win and beat Poseidon Nero.[66] Laguna snarks at Homura for stating the obvious about Goodwin being quite a large man before she clarifies that she meant his heart.[67]
Nero 66 arc[]
Somewhere in the hallway of Edens Zero, Laguna observes Maine Coon from the window. The actor receives a call from Ibaraki and opens it from his phone as he is silent when the Oasis rebel wants to tell him about their boss. Laguna remembers that while Goodwin is happy to work with the Edens Zero but then reminds him that he is another story and bluntly states that he doesn't like allies who betrayed his organization. After being told that the Oasis leader isn't that upset, the actor reminds Ibaraki that the latter aimed his gun at him earlier in their reunion, and it is true that he deserted the rebel army. He remarks that Ibaraki never changes before wondering that he hasn't seen the "Princess". Noticing Ibaraki's sorrowful face, Laguna learns from him that Shura killed the "Princess" and mangled her face. He sighs in sadness and agrees in a determined look with Ibaraki that they are going to avenge the "Princess" and take down Shura. Ending the call, Laguna is surprised to see Weisz eavesdropping on the conversation behind his back and explains to him that the "Princess" was the last boss' daughter, describing her to be bright, cheerful, and an indomitable spirit. He further reveals that the "Princess" and Goodwin have been the backbone of Oasis since the old boss died. Laguna tells Weisz that it's none of his business when the latter notes that the death of the "Princess" is a pretty heavy blow, and walks away. But Laguna stops after Weisz asks him if Nero is what he has been after all along. After Weisz believes that he is cozying up to them after Drakken's defeat, the former Element 4 member reminds him that it was Witch who asked him to join the Crew of Edens. Laguna remains quiet after Weisz deduces his pattern of bouncing from group to group, trying to find the one who can beat the Emperor. The actor remarks to Weisz that if he had an education, he might have joined the Interstellar Union Army or the Cosmic Government. He is unfazed when Weisz grabs him by the shoulder and threatens him that he better not drag the Crew of Edens into his problems. Laguna simply shrugs and reminds Weisz that Shiki would have fought this battle with or without him.[68] When the Edens Zero enters Nero 66, Laguna is ready for battle with Jinn, Kleene, and Mosco.[69]
Laguna corrects Shiki that it's the All-Link System they are targeting after the latter mispronounced it.[70] The former Element 4 member is shocked to see Shura easily stopping the Edens Zero with his gravity by himself.[71] He stands silent when Shiki tells everyone to trust him after intending to go out and confront the Emperor's son.[72] Laguna boards his starfighter and launches from the Edens Zero's hanger bay to fight the Imperial Army ships defending the domed city.[73] He is annoyed that they are bringing in reinforcements as the aerial battle with the Imperial Army continues.[74]
Laguna continues to fight in the aerial battle when Kleene contacts the Edens Zero and Kris asks them how their situation is. Laguna adds that their enemies are just unmanned drones and compares it to target practice.[75]
Laguna arrives and finds Shiki and Rebecca under the influence of Ijuna's Red Destiny. He turns them into water, saving them from killing each other, and puts them into a water bottle. He tells Happy and Pino to let him handle Ijuna, giving them the bottle, and informs them to let the two out after a while. As the two bots go to rescue Witch, he is surprised that she would let them go so easily. The woman states his full name making Laguna shockingly recognize her as the "Princess" and asks if it is really her. Instead, he is told not to call her that as she abandoned Oasis like him.[76]
