List of Edens Zero characters
The Edens Zero manga series features an extensive cast of characters created by Hiro Mashima. The story is set in a fictional universe called the Grand Shiki Cosmos (四季大宇宙, Shiki Daiuchū; lit. "Four Seasons Macrocosm"), which comprises multiple planetary systems called "cosmoses" that the protagonists navigate using the titular starship. The characters consist mainly of humans, robots, and aliens, the majority of which inhabit the "Sakura Cosmos".
Described as a "space fantasy" series by Mashima, Edens Zero depicts several characters that use a magic-like technique called Ether Gear (エーテルギア, Ēteru Gia) to harness their bodies' Ether – a magical power source – like the machines of their universe. Other characters include B-Cubers (B・キューバー, Bī Kyūbā), which are users of an online video platform based on YouTube, and cyborgs, alternatively called O-Tech (半分機械, Ō Tekku) in the series. Multiple iterations of the same characters from alternate histories also feature prominently throughout the story, particularly those created by a time-devouring space monster called the Chronophage, and others who inhabit numbered parallel universes across the multiverse.
Critics and readers have compared the characters' designs and attributes to those from Mashima's earlier series Fairy Tail, some of which they noted were intentionally derivative.
When developing Edens Zero, author Hiro Mashima wrote several characters' storylines to tie closely to the foundation of the story, which Mashima stated would "almost never change mid-series", amidst those he introduced and changed during the story's progression;[vol. 5] he described his storytelling method as falling "somewhere in between" his previous works Rave Master, whose stories and characters he had largely worked out by the series' midway point, and Fairy Tail, where the only predetermined aspect was the backstory of protagonist Natsu Dragneel.[vol. 3] Mashima's writing approach led him to include new characters to the main cast who were not originally planned to be, while several planned characters such as Homura and the Four Shining Stars were introduced earlier than intended, resulting in a majority of female characters joining the main cast over male characters.[vol. 4]
A number of characters are modeled after characters from Rave Master and Fairy Tail, including Happy,[vol. 3] Elsie Crimson (Erza Scarlet),[vol. 9] and Justice (Sieg Hart and Jellal Fernandes). Plue, another recurring character in Mashima's manga who featured prominently in Rave Master, makes a minor appearance as well. The manga also includes fictionalized versions of YouTubers whom Mashima has met.[vol. 7]
When discussing the series' villains, Mashima stated that his personal theme for Edens Zero was to make them "the absolute worst kind of trash possible" so that readers could look forward to their downfalls, while also giving them their own convictions that would lead them to battle the protagonists. He was influenced to do so after receiving comments from those who sympathized with villains that he intended to be "real [pieces] of garbage" in his previous works.[vol. 5]
For the manga's second half, which advances the story by three years, Mashima deliberately gave minor visual changes to most of the characters' designs apart from Shiki, whom he wanted to "stand out"; he added that, with the exception of Hermit and Jinn's redesigns, there "wasn't really any thought" put into these changes.[vol. 20]
The primary characters of the series are the crew of the Edens Zero (エデンズ ゼロ, Edenzu Zero) – Edens being an acronym for "Ether Drive Eternal Navigation System" – an interstellar warship left by Ziggy as inheritance to his adoptive grandson, Shiki.[ch. 15] The crew's goal is to navigate the universe in search of Mother, both to prove her existence and have their wishes granted by her.[ch. 3, 48]
