End of the Line, Dead End Crow!

Edens Zero Chapter 208 Review/Recap

End of the line, Dead End Crow! That’s all I really have to say about this chapter. 

Recap

Thanks to Kleene being saved by Laguna, the jammer canceller turns back on, giving everyone inside of Dead End Crow their Ether Gear back. Thanks to her, the Edens Zero has time to recover as Crow slows down. Inside, Holy’s free to go on the offensive, only for Cure to regenerate and then do his rant on good and evil again. Then Holy’s like, “are you done?” because she also aimed at Crow’s power source. As a result, Cure goes ballistic and fuses directly with his creation. Angered, Holy prepares to kill him for good. 

Thankfully, however, Jinn reminds her that her late sister wouldn’t want to see her give her life for this. They escape just as the hole Holy created begins to seal. Fortunately, Eraser pulls up and uses his powers to reopen the hole. Thus, the Edens Sero fires its cannon at full power, obliterating it, and Cure, from existence. Dead End Crow has reached the end of the line.

Review

There isn’t much for me to say about this chapter. At least the main part, that is. I made my feelings about Cure and Dead End Crow pretty obvious in my last chapter review. I didn’t care about what self-justification Cure used to create villains. What he was doing was still wrong, plain and simple. He got what he deserved in the end, and I’ll go back to forgetting about him—end of the line, Cure.

What I really want to talk about is the final moments of the chapter with Shiki, Ziggy, and Pino. It sucks that despite everything, Shiki can’t beat his alternate future self/grandpa. However, it also makes sense story-wise. What I’m really interested in is Pino. I sometimes forget she was made by Ziggy, and we don’t know her purpose yet. If she says she might be able to help Shiki, though, then I believe her.

This was a very mediocre chapter for me, honestly. I still don’t like the twist with Crow and Cure, and I will likely forget about them before long. I’m more interested in the story behind Ziggy and how he turned out to be like this. 

I Give “Dead End” a 2.5/5
