Shiki Granbell vs. Justice is a battle fought between Shiki Granbell, the Demon King of the Edens Zero, and Justice of the Oración Seis Interstellar.

Battle

After blocking the young man's punch, Justice explains that the Interstellar Union Army was formed to strike down the evil that runs rampant through the cosmos, be it the Oración Seis Galáctica, Ziggy, or lawless space voyagers like Shiki. He then throws Shiki back and notes that the Edens Zero is an unregistered ship formerly owned by Ziggy and Elsie Crimson. The Oración Seis Interestelar member believes that this will require further investigation which angers Shiki into charging at him again. Easily blocking the gravity wielder's spinning axe kick with his right arm, Justice tells the young man that he is about to die with no future beyond this point, charging an Ether blast from his left palm, and fires at Shiki who dodges it and sticks at the tree in a safe distance, noting how aggressive the Cosmic Government he is working for. Justice sternly questions if Shiki is trying to say that his government is oppressive, but admits that there are certain protocols that must be followed, such as not harming civilians. However, Justice informs Shiki that those of the Oración Seis Interstellar are given certain privileges and they have the right, in any situation, to eradicate any target they determine to be evil. Activating his Ether Gear, Justice believes that despite being a mere boy, with the Demon King power in his Ether and his link with Elsie, Shiki will certainly become a great evil one day if allowed to live.

In his transformed state, the Oración Seis Interstellar member declares that he will execute Shiki right here and now in the name of justice. Using Meteor, Justice attacks Shiki in a lariat strike with incredible speed and throws him several meters across Foresta. Easily catching up to Shiki, Justice attacks the young man only to miss and hit the ground instead. However, the Interstellar member quickly appears behind Shiki and knocks him down from the sky before flying below, and knee the young man in the chin, followed by an elbow strike on the head. Then Justice assaults Shiki in multiple directions with Meteor Frenzy, heavily injuring his opponent. Overhearing Shiki trying to comprehend his power, Justice asks him in a derisive tone if Elsie hid her abilities from her friends. The soldier reveals to Shiki that he uses the same Ether Gear as hers; Star Drain, allowing him to absorb a planet's Ether and make it his own. Justice explains that this power is equivalent to "Heavenly Body Magic" which was feared in the Dark Ages, a force that could control the stars. Intending to finish off the young man in one powerful attack, Justice unleashes Grand Chariot on the grandson of the Demon King.

Aftermath

When the smoke clears away, Justice is surprised to see Shiki is still alive after being struck by his attack. Summoning Antares in his hands, the soldier describes it as "a spear of light to pierce evil" and intends to put the injured boy on the ground out of his misery. Suddenly, his strike is then blocked by Elsie Crimson wielding her own Antares. Justice becomes enraged upon seeing her and lividly mutters her name.
