The Edens Zero crew sets out to rescue a neighboring city from an attack led by the vengeful Orc, who has installed a bomb with the capacity to destroy half of Sandra. Orc triggers the bomb after being defeated by Shiki a second time, but Shiki safely elevates the bomb into the air before it explodes, gaining Oasis's respect. Joining forces, the crew and Oasis travel to Nero 66, where its imperial blockade is preoccupied by the Interstellar Union Army. En route, Laguna reconnects with his former teammates, who tell him that the daughter of Oasis's previous leader was killed by Shura. Weisz confronts Laguna for involving the crew in his vendetta against Nero, and threatens to kill him if anything happens to them. While Oasis distracts the imperial fleet, the Edens Zero enters the atmosphere of Nero 66, where Shura senses Shiki's darkening presence.
