“ | I don't follow your rules. My friend is more important. And I'm not some hero fighting for justice... If you hurt my friends... I'll show you the kind of Demon King I can be!! | ” |
—Shiki Granbell, Chapter 53 |
Shiki Granbell (シキ・グランベル Shiki Guranberu?) is an adventurer from the planet Granbell[2] and the Demon King (魔王 Maō?)[3] of the warship Edens Zero, as well as the leader of its crew. He's also a member of the guild Shooting Starlight, the adopted grandson and the past self of the former Demon King, Ziggy, and the King of Magimech (魔械の王 Makai no Ō?).[4]
Appearance
Shiki is a lean toned young man of average height with spiky black hair which partially covers his ears, slanted dark eyes, and thin eyebrows. He dons a small, white bandage on his left cheek as well as a red pouch around his waist. During his rematch with Shura on Nero 66, the former ripped his left eye out with gravity while in Overdrive.[5] He later replaces it with an artificial eye following the conclusion of the war.[6] By X495, Shiki has grown into a young adult with a more muscular build and his eyes have slightly narrowed.
His initial attire consists of a high-collared, red-and-black open jacket with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, pockets on either side of the chest, and two black laces attached to the neck of his jacket hanging behind his head. Underneath, he wears a simple white shirt with a v-neck collar and a red design on the front which patterns out into a Y-shape. He also sports baggy, green-colored trousers which possess noticeable white details on both sides. Lastly, his choice of footwear are a pair of simple, black boots.[7] However, his clothes were destroyed after fighting a parasite imitating the space pirate Elsie Crimson.[8]
He later changes into a second outfit which consists of a buttoned-up, short-sleeved, and copper-trimmed black tunic with an open high collar, has two black laces behind the neck of the collar, white round details on the sides, and a zig-zag pattern at the end of the sleeves on either side. He also wears the X-Ray Goggles over his forehead, sports a pair of white baggy trousers with a single line going down in the middle, and tucked into black-and-copper boots.[9]
After the events on planet Guilst, he later returns to his initial outfit which now has a black t-shirt with a silver-white insignia of the Edens Zero's emblem on the center.[10] While in Digitalis, his avatar takes the appearance of a young-looking caveman with his hair in a long and wild style similar to before he met Rebecca and Happy on Granbell. His attire is a set of torn clothes with leopard prints, a necklace with shark teeth, and sandals.[11] When encountering Spider in his Jamilov avatar, his hair is reverted back to his usual hairstyle like in the real world.[12]
Before heading to the planet Mildian, he changes into an ninja outfit, having a short-sleeved, dark-colored jumpsuit with white lining around the shoulders, a Y-shaped white line going down the center, and a pair of diamond-shaped designs on the knees. It is also tied by a white sash, the legs are tucked into a pair of black boots, has a black scarf around his neck and a black-and-white striped handkerchief wrapped around his forehead.[13]
While on the planet Sun Jewel, he wears his signature attire, but now has a white shirt with a red-colored insignia being the number "0" crossed out on the center, resembling the "O" in the Edens Zero's logo[14] and after leaving, later replaces it with a black undershirt with gold-trimmed lines between the lower part.[15] After leaving Belial Gore, he starts wearing a black shirt under his jacket.
On the planet Sandra, Shiki wears a light-colored cloak around both his shoulders.
Before heading to Nero 66, Shiki wears a dark-colored shirt with a pair of red x-shaped suspenders underneath his jacket along with a pair of light-colored cargo pants instead of his usual green trousers.
In the year X495, he now wears a short-sleeved version of his signature coat, a dark-colored undershirt with a light-gray x-shaped emblem in the chest, tucked into a pair of green-colored trousers held by a leather belt and two more crossed between his waist, and lastly, dark-colored shoes.
Personality
Shiki is a carefree, blunt, and eager individual. Because he lived his entire life in the robotic Granbell Kingdom, he never saw another human in his life before meeting Rebecca. Due to this, he's very curious and awkward around people and strongly desired to make a lot of friends - best exemplified by his habit of asking strangers to "be his friend" and his invasion of people's personal space.[16]
Shiki has a strong sense of loyalty and refused to leave Granbell for many years so that he could take care of the robots of the park.[17] And even when he was apparently betrayed by the robots who appeared to turn hostile, he still considered them his friends and tearfully thanked them and promised to always remember them.[18] However, he also has a strong sense of justice as when his friends seemingly betrayed him, he attacked them in order to protect the people he had just met, going as far as to put himself in harm's way to allow strangers to escape.[19]
Despite his fearlessness, Shiki seems to have a crippling fear of bugs, demonstrated when he didn't wish to believe that the Kawpicatt S4 was a species of bug and instead wanted to view them more like an "octopus."[20]
It is also shown that Shiki has a perverted side, which first started at Granbell when he saw Rebecca for the first time. However, it seems to have gotten worse over time thanks to Weisz's influence, to the point he becomes ‘lustful’.[21]
Three years later, Shiki has grown more mature yet stern and serious when in combat. However, he still retains his many of his old traits, such as his habit of abruptly offering to be friends with random people.[22]
Synopsis
History
Many years ago, Shiki was found by his adoptive grandfather, the Demon King Ziggy who brought him to the planet Granbell in order to raise him.[2] One day, as Shiki along with Ziggy and Michael watched comets fly, his grandfather told imparted on him the importance of exploring the universe and finding friends.[23]
Intro arc
Shiki meets Rebecca and Happy after they arrive in the Granbell Kingdom, literally dropping in on them as they were faced with a giant robotic cat monster. After realizing that Rebecca is another human and being punched for invading her personal space, Shiki asks Rebecca to be his friend but is rejected. He then follows Rebecca and Happy as they flee back to the town. After greeting them again, Shiki introduces them to all of his friends before taking part in a large celebration with them and then falling asleep. After waking up to discover that his long hair had been cut. He discovered the robots had captured Rebecca and Happy and tried to kill them in order to take their ship in order to get revenge on humanity for abandoning them. (This was later revealed to be just an act to get Shiki to leave with them before the robots of Granbell ran out of battery power, leaving him alone.) After saving Rebecca and Happy from the robots and offering to stay behind to give them time to escape, Rebecca pulls him along with her acknowledging him as a friend. They then begin their adventure into the Sakura Cosmos and Shiki expresses that he misses his friends but is eager to make one hundred more in the universe.[24]
Now traveling with Rebecca and Happy, Shiki begins to learn about the outside world such as B-Cube and multiple other things, even learning about Rebecca's B-Cube channel. Rebecca eventually landed the Aqua Wing on Blue Garden with hopes of registering Shiki into her Guild Shooting Starlight as an Adventurer.[25]
In the Guild, Shiki was surprised to see so many people that he wanted to touch them, much to Rebecca's dismay.[26] After Rebecca stops him from touching someone's face, he notices the giant hologram of Mother. After Rebecca's explanation, Shiki claims that he met Mother before, causing everyone to laugh much to Rebecca's embarrassment. When Labilia Christy's insults caused Rebecca to cry, he used his Ether Gear on the latter and told her not to make fun of his friends before Rebecca dragged him out of the place. After obtaining his Adventurer Card, Shiki tells Rebecca that they should find Mother themselves and make it into a video. This excites Rebecca, but tells Shiki that they need find to get a better ship in order to make the trip beyond the Sakura Cosmos. They are later seen flying the Aqua Wing towards Planet Norma.[27]

Having now obtained his grandfather's ship, Shiki remarks that it is theirs now. When Rebecca tries to correct him that it is his ship, he rejects that. Saying as they are a team and adventuring together, so it is theirs. He dismisses Weisz when he tries to claim some ownership as well. Rebecca advises that they should clean the ship first, a Shiki frightened asks Happy to call the Kawpicatts octopi instead of bugs. Shiki is quickly teased by Rebecca and Weisz about this, when he notices how sad Pino is. He asks her if it is about his grandfather, which she confirms. Hearing this he leaves, asking her to help with the cleaning as she is also part of the team. While cleaning in one of the halls, he tells Weisz that no one asked him to help. After being told to wear something, Shiki goes off to find some clothes.[28] After getting new clothes, Shiki and the others show off their new outfits. Rebecca then asks him and Wiesz about learning Ether Gear, which Shiki confirms he learned from his grandfather. He smugly states that he learned in a month after Weisz says that it takes years to master. He listens as Pino wonders if the room they are in is Ziggy's, which makes Shiki notice how it is constructed differently from the rest. He recollects how his grandfather never found Mother, making him promise to get the ship to her and sits on the throne. Suddenly Ether lines start glowing on Shiki's arms and the throne as a voice announces the activation of protocal A7, executing a chain of command transfer procedure. Shiki is confused as Ether lines start spreading before the protocol is complete, asking if someone is around. The voice welcomes the Demon King to which Shiki says that his grandfather's dead. Shiki is warned of the wall opening behind him by Rebecca as the source of the voice arrives. An android appears and introduces herself as Witch of the Demon King's Four Shining Stars, built by the Demon King. After being informed that she will carry out whatever order he gives, he asks her to bark like a dog as a joke, which she does anyway. He watches as she purges the ship of its infestation and is amazed as she restores the ship to its original form. Witch calls him the Demon King again, but he tries to correct her before she rectifies that he is the new Demon King. He is surprised as Witch kneels and exclaims that the Edens Zero's king has finally returned.[29] Shiki listens as Witch states that while the ship has returned its original form, its true power has yet to be regained. He questions this, which Witch explains that she heard their conversation about finding Mother, saying that they should think of her as a part of the ship, and that with all the Four Shining Stars they will be able to pass Dragonfall, the border separating the Sakura Cosmos from out space. Excited about hearing dragons, Shiki exclaims that he wants to see them and smiles as Witch says that they need to find the other three Shining Stars.[30] Afterward, he, Weisz and Pino explore the ship, finding a giant door. After Weisz fails to open it, Shiki is surprised to hear Witch explain that it is one of the ship's most classified secrets, Code 3171. He asks what is behind it, which he is told that she isn't authorized to say. When Witch calls herself an object when Weisz asks for Privacy, Shiki says that she is not as she has a heart. He is then asked by Pino if she has heart as well, which he says that she does. Pino requests that she wants to join him on his journey, which he says is too late as he already counted her on coming. He then makes it official and they fist bump, squabbling over what Pino should call him.[31]
On Blue Garden, Shiki notes how there is still a lot of people. He watches as Weisz leaves them to enjoy the "future" and is unimpressed. They then go to the guild to find information about Sister. When they get there they encounter Clarisse and Labilia, the latter mocking Rebecca again. Shiki tries to stop her, but she quickly hugs him and asks that he be part in one of her videos. He declines, saying that he will not help someone who bullies Rebecca and watches her leave. He then hears that the Guild Master wants to talkt to Rebecca, making Shiki question who that is.[32] They eat together and talk about the Guild Master, who he wants to meet, but Rebecca and Happy head to his office. Being left alone and with nothing to do, they decide to go exploring. He tries to show off what he knows of Blue Garden, but Pino identifies them with ease, annoying him. They then try to find the restaurant run by "dogs", getting lost in the process.[33]
Eventually, they come across Labilia being assaulted. Shiki grabs the guy's arm before he could hit Labilia, telling him that he is making her uncomfortable. He panics when the guy pulls off his arm and makes it fly away from him. Wondering who the guy is, Pino analyzes that he is a cyborg. When Labilia asks him for help, Shiki says he could care less about her but will not let the mercenary get away with this. He remembers what his grandfather said to him about helping those who call for help, and that is the first step to become someone’s friend. The cyborg refutes his sentiment and the two argue about his work. The two activate their Ether Gears and prepare to fight, Shiki stating that he will not lose to a jerk with no heart.[34]

Overhearing her orders, Shiki demands to know what she's going to do to the Labor District. After hearing that she's going to kill everyone there, he tells her that Homura is there, only to hear that she doesn't mind, angering him even more. He witnesses a giant mech rise up from the ground, wondering what it is. He is told by Kurenai that it is the Kurenai Dragoon, she boards in it and punches Shiki out the window. He lands on a bridge that is quickly destroyed by Kurenai. He punches the Knight Gear from above, but barely makes a scratch.[35]
Crushed under the fist, Shiki wonders why he can't make the Knight Gear lighter. He is told by Kurenai that the Ether coating protects Kurenai Dragoon from his Ether Gear. In this case, he makes the ground even heavier, sending them down into a city, the Labor District. He grabs onto the Kurenai Dragoon and changes his own gravity, slamming into the ground. He notes how closer they are to Homura now and will make sure he gets her to her daughter. He responds to Kurenai that doesn't know or care when she asks what he expects to happen, as he's doing it because it is what Valkyrie wanted. He dodges the punches as Kurenai says kids ruin the world and need to face reality. He counters, asking if the adults who face reality are making the world better. He then sends a gravity-enhanced punch at the Kurenai Dragoon, deactivating his Ether Gear at the last moment to leave an indent. He states that he's sure Kurenai isn't making things any better, from what he's seen of the Labor District.[36]

Shiki and the others run through the halls searching for Labilia, but are soon encountered by Drakken's goons. He runs up the wall gets rid of most of them with a Gravity Windmill Kick. As the others are defeated they ask one of the goons on the location of the jail cells.[37] They later find Labilia in her cell, perfectly fine, much to his annoyance. His attention changes to the call of an old Sibir.[38]

Red Cave arc
After escaping the giant fish in the Poseidon Nero Sector, Shiki marvels with the others at the sight of the Aoi Cosmos outside their windows, wondering how there is an ocean above and below them. They are informed by Jinn and Kleene of the Cosmos's name, but when he asked him about it, Jinn ignores him and walks away with his sister, claiming to have no intention of fraternizing with the crew of the Edens Zero, confusing Shiki as he thought he made friends with him.[39] They soon arrive at the Fire Planet Red Cave, but are confused by the sight of an ocean.[40]
After returning to the temple, Shiki shows the others his Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima, where he tells them that it had absorbed Mother's Ether. He 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, Shiki presumes that they can find Mother if they find enough and absorb their Ether, but Nadia says they might and that only by absorbing Mother Ether from other places will it change its properties. Shiki thanks Nadia and holds the Lacrima up, saying that if they follow this Ether, then one day they will find Mother. Before they leave, he 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. 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.[41]
They find Nadia by the ship, making Shiki tear up. He remains silent as Witch tells Nadia that it is alright for a machine to love a human and that the android has a heart. He watches as the relic, a candelabra, breaks out of the ship and shines a flash of light, restoring the robots of the planet, making him cry tears of joy. The planet continues to return to its rightful state, where the water levels start receding, making him realize that the night is ending as he watches the sunrise with everyone. Shiki is confused when Rebecca mentions love and as she gets flustered. Later while onboard the ship, they watch as the bots and the octopus monster wave goodbye, making him and Weisz realize that the octopus was the temple's guardian.[42]

Powers and Abilities
Shiki Granbell was a member of the Oración Seis Galáctica, a group that is stated to be the cosmos's strongest warriors, being renowned for crushing entire planets.[43] He was made a part of this after the Oración Seis Interstellar determined him to be a threat to the universe.[44] Holy acknowledges his power to be on the same level with the rest of the Galáctica.[45]
Satan Gravity (サタングラビティ Satan Gurabiti): Renowned as "the power of the Demon King," which he inherited from his adoptive grandfather, Ziggy, Shiki uses this Ether Gear to control and manipulate gravity itself, giving him "Demon King Ether". He is capable of changing the direction of the gravitational force around himself which enables him to stick to walls, float in the air,[46] and make objects and people weightless to an extent. When using its power throughout his body, Shiki is identified as the new Demon King by those who sensed or scanned it. He also describes it as a power he inherited from his grandfather,[47] and that it took him a month to learn it.[48] After training with Xenolith for seven days,[49] Shiki has shown greater improvement over his Satan Gravity to the point that he is capable of feats such as drastically increasing the weight of multiple people or objects without making contact,[50] changing the direction of bullets fired at him with a flick of the wrist.[51], and launching multiple opponents with a single punch.[52] He is also capable of sending Poseidon Shura, another Satan Gravity user who is said to be stronger than he is, into the air after being briefly held down by the immense weight of the latter's own gravitational field before sending him downwards with two gravity-empowered punches. Three years later in the Kaede Cosmos, Shiki's gravity powers have increased drastically. After entering Universe 0, Shiki regained all his memories and post-Kaede War prowess from the previous world. However, according to Pino, both his current body and Ether Gear capabilities from the previous world are both incompatable.
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist (魔械流 重拳 Makai-ryū: Jūken): Shiki's arm begins to glow for a brief moment and then he punches his opponent with enough force to rupture the ground in several places, destroying nearby buildings.[53]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist Frenzy (魔械流 重拳乱舞 Makai-ryū: Jūken Ranbu): Shiki's fists begin to glow and he initiates a barrage of punches onto his opponents causing them to be thrown away.[54]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Center (魔械流 重心 Makai-ryū: Jūshin): Shiki exerts an immense amount of force on an airborne target by boosting its gravity, pulling the target to the ground.[55]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Wave (魔械流 重力波 Makai-ryū: Jūryokuha): Shiki's palm is placed on the ground, creating a spiral force that pulls targets towards him.[56]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Windmill Kick (魔械流 重旋脚 Makai-ryū: Jūsen Kyaku): Shiki's leg begins to glow while in midair and releases a spinning kick onto his targets.[57]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Cannon (魔械流 重弾 Makai-ryū: Jūdan): Shiki creates an energy sphere made of gravity from his fist and throws it onto his target, pushing them back due to the heaviness of the attack.[58]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Comet (魔械流 重彗星 Makai-ryū: Jūsuisei): Shiki enhances his feet with gravity and jumps from above onto their target, causing sheer force and blunt damage.[8]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Tackle (魔械流 重身 Makai-ryū Jūshin): Shiki rotates himself in mid-air and uses gravity to push himself down at the opponent with a downward kick, sending them onto the ground.[59]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Impact (魔械流 グラビティインパクト Makai-ryū: Gurabiti Inpakuto): Shiki absorbs kinetic energy from an external source and then converts it into concentrated gravity to perform a devastating downward punch.[60]
- Magimech Attack: Gravity Field (魔械流 重力場 Makai-ryū Jūryokuba): Shiki slams the ground with his fist, generating a gravitational field that crushes and negates attacks.[61]
- Magimech Attack: Anti-Gravity (魔械流 反重力 Makai-ryu: Hanjūryoku): Shiki generates an anti-gravitational field around whatever he touches, causing anything that moves into it to fly away in other directions.[62]
- Magimech Attack: Meteor Breaker (魔械流 星崩し Makai-ryu: Meteo Bureikā): Shiki charges Ether at the end of his fist to create a gravity sphere, which becomes a giant meteor of gravity when fired at the enemy.[63]
- Super Ultimate Magimech Attack: Black Sky (魔械流秘奥技 黒天 Makai-ryū Hi Ōgi: Kokuten): Shiki strengthens the weight of his heart, creating a ball of gravity that grows bigger, and slams it at his target.[64]
Overdrive (オーバードライブ Ōbādoraibu): As an experienced enough Ether Gear user, Shiki could access a pseudo form of Overdrive, causing a basic transformation, where his hair and skin color changed to a lighter shade, light green Ether markings spread across his body, and a pair of energy horns on his head, identifying him as the new Demon King. In this form, Shiki's physical and Ether abilities are greatly augmented, making it possible for him to use Satan Gravity techniques to the maximum.[65][66] However, his rudimentary grasp of Overdrive could not match Drakken Joe, who comprehends its true function.[67] After having memories of his death from World No. 29, Shiki could access his Overdrive to the fullest, assuming a transformation that truly identifies him as the Demon King. His hair becomes white, both his arms are darkened with purple Ether markings, and a pair of black horns with the same markings appear out of his head. His clothing also changed into a sleeveless, high-collared tunic and his bandage is gone, revealing a small scar.[68][69] With it, Shiki's gravity became significantly powerful, which is comparable to a black hole, pulling in the surrounding objects and even memories.[70][71] With his first usage of the true Overdrive, his Ether capabilities were compared to those of Drakken Joe and Elsie Crimson of the Oración Seis Galáctica and he was able to defeat the former.[72] Three years later, during his final fight with Ziggy, he underwent another transformation fueled from intense rage, turning his hair white, with the sides shaped as horns, his eyes turns red, with his robotic eye's sclera turning black, four black marks on both sides of his face, and red Ether lines; his clothing changes, with dark pants and markings on his chest, shaped into the portions of a cloak.[73]
- Overdrive: Route Ziggy (オーバードライブルートジギー Ōbādoraibu Rūto Jigī): In Universe 0, Nero teaches Shiki that there are more than one form of Overdrive, Shiki optimizes his Ether, assuming a form similar to Ziggy's appearance. His hair grows longer, donning a skull-like mask with curved horns and armor similar to Ziggy's, his arms and legs become black and are covered with Ether lines.[74]
Wormhole (ワームホール Wāmuhōru): Shiki obtained this Ether Gear after destroying Ziggy with Black Sky, where his grandfather's power fell into him.[75] Using this, he is able to create wave-like portals to far away locations, such as where Rebecca and others were in Lendard[76] or onboard the Edens Zero.[77]
Immense Strength: Shiki possesses great physical strength, having enough power to push someone back with a single punch. When using Ether Gear, his strength is greatly increased to the point that a single gravity punch caused enough sheer force and blunt damage to send an opponent flying or destroy the ground beneath them.[78] According to Hermit, Shiki's physical strength is recorded to be 2000 to 2500.[79]
Immense Durability: Shiki possesses a high amount of durability, making him capable of taking heavy damage from opponents such as Sibir with his enhanced mechanical arm, Jinn's wind-based ninjitsu attacks, and also heavy attacks from Kurenai's Knight Gear. As well as being able to take attacks from Justice and survive his Grand Chariot, surprising the soldier.[80]
Enhanced Reflexes: Shiki has great reflexes, making him able to keep up with many opponents in battle and dodge gunfire with ease.
Acrobatic Skills: Shiki has displayed great acrobatic skills. When using his Ether Gear, he can easily jump higher than a normal person due to his changing his own weight.[81]
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Shiki is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. When combined with his Ether Gear, he is capable of overpowering large numbers of attackers with ease and can go toe-to-toe with stronger opponents.
Equipment
Edens Zero (エデンズ・ゼロ Edenzu Zero?): A large spaceship given to him by Elsie Crimson which was originally owned by his grandfather.[82] In Universe 0, Ziggy left the ship in the care of the Castellan and was under Granbell Castle's plaza, which was given to Shiki when he wanted to leave the planet.[83]
Former Equipment
X-Ray Goggles: Shiki picked up a pair of goggles from Weisz's House which allows him to see-through clothing.[84]
Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima (水中適合の星水晶 Suichū Tekigō no Rakurima?): During his stay on Red Cave, Shiki wore one of these devices which allowed him to breathe and communicate underwater without any issues.[85] After reaching the end of the cave within the Temple of the Mother Beacon, Shiki's Aquatic Adaptation Lacrima became the host of a portion of Mother's Ether, transforming it into a beacon to find other pieces of Mother's Ether throughout the cosmos.[86]
Artificial Eye: After losing his left eye in his fight with Shura, Sister implants a new eye in its place. It works just the same as a real eye and has an added x-ray function, allowing him to see through clothes.[6]

- According to E.M. Pino's Analysis, Shiki's stats are:[1]
- Shiki shares his first name with the protagonist of Monster Hunter Orage, one of Hiro Mashima's previous manga.
- The name "Shiki" means four seasons (四季?) in Japanese, which follows Hiro Mashima's trend of naming his main characters after seasons. According to Mashima, he chose the name to represent the culmination of his past works.[87]
- Shiki's name in the earliest draft of the manga was "Ziggy", based on the David Bowie song "Ziggy Stardust", which Mashima gave to the Demon King Ziggy in the finished version.[87]
