Biography

Shiki Granbell.

Shiki Granbell (Japanese: シキ・グランベル, Hepburn: Shiki Guranberu?) was a male human who was an inhabitant of the Sakura Cosmos.

After encountering Shiki, the Demon King Ziggy decided to end his quest for the search for Mother. Instead, he returned to the Sakura Comos and took the boy to planet Granbell where as the boy's adoptive grandfather he decided to raise the child.

Whilst there, he came to be close friends with all the robots on planet Granbell with Michael being among them. One day, he was beside Ziggy and Michael when they watched comets fly in the sky. It was then that his grandfather told him that he should explore the universe and friends. Shiki Granbell performed maintenance tasks on various robotic entities within a large, dilapidated theme park setting. He utilized his gravitational powers to navigate the vertical surfaces of the environment, frequently standing on ceilings and leaping between structures to interact with the machines.

Granbell later came to be visited by a pair of travellers named Rebecca Bluegarden and Happy. Shiki came upon the two when they were confronted by a giant robotic cat monster. After realizing that Rebecca was another human and being punched for invading her personal space, Shiki asked 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. 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. 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. In the Guild, Shiki was surprised to see so many people that he wanted to touch them, much to Rebecca's dismay. 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 insulted 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.

On the Aqua Wing, Rebecca told Shiki that he could stay in the guest room as she refused to share her room with him. When Rebecca tells him that the ship is on autopilot, he asks to fly it for a while. Rebecca and Happy, thinking they could get a lot of views from him flying for the first time, agree. Later, the Aqua Wing has crashed on planet Norma, with Rebecca furious yet happy that she got footage of it. As Happy wondered about what to do with the ship, Shiki lifted it up and sets it back down, revealing he can make things lighter with his Ether Gear. At that moment, an alarm goes off warning the three that there it is about to rain earth ether crystals, much to Shiki's shock. Happy explains that Ether is the source of all "power" present in everything in the universe; in simpler terms, it's magic. In Shiki's case, his Ether Gear can rearrange the flow of Ether in his body like that of a machine. As the Earth Ether continues coming down, the group heads below the surface, revealing a massive, underground city where Shiki is amazed at all the people and animals present. As they arrive at Professor Weisz's house, Rebecca realizes he is nowhere to be found. Happy notices that he hasn't read his emails, either. Shiki picks up a set of goggles and starts messing with them, and discovers that they give him x-ray vision. Rebecca tells him to stop messing with the Professor's stuff, but just as she tries to take the goggles off, a young man with a gun appears telling them not to move. The young man asks them why they are in someone else's house, and Rebecca and Happy nervously explain that looking for Professor Weisz Steiner, the man who fixed up happy. The man says that he was Weisz Steiner before asking them who they are, much to everyone's shock. Rebecca told the young man calling himself Weisz that they came looking for Professor Weisz, though the man accused them of working for someone called Sibir. Before they can go any further, Shiki pointed out that there was someone on the floor above them where moments before shots started firing on them. Shiki leapt up to the ceiling and, using the goggles to locate the attacker, finishes him off and sending him falling below. Meanwhile, Weisz gets onto a motorcycle and flees while everyone is distracted. The attacker tells them to deliver a message to Weisz: that those who betray them will die by ;Strong-Ma'" Sibir's hands, much to Shiki's amusement.

At a riverside restaurant, Rebecca tries to make sense of what happened and why the young man has the same name as Professor Weisz but is much younger. While Happy and Shiki think he created a youth-restoring drug that wiped his memories, Rebecca realizes that she could not connect to the Net, with Happy unable to do so either. Just then, a news report comes on about how a new Adventurer's Guild, Shooting Starlight, had been founded on Blue Garden; only Shooting Starlight was founded 50 years ago. Rebecca remembers how she and Happy had visited Weisz one time and asked to live with him only to be turned down because, according to Weisz, the planet was dying. Back in the present, Rebecca takes the three outside the restaurant and realizes how old all the technology is. Shocked, Rebecca realizes that they somehow traveled back to Norma 50 years in the past, the year X442, meaning that the man they met was Professor Weisz 50 years ago. While the three try to put together what has happened, a giant robot suddenly appears, piloted by the one calling himself Sibir. Assuming the three are with Weisz, Sibir is determined to make them pay for Weisz stealing from him. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Weisz holds onto a briefcase that he says is his and will never let Sibir get his hands on. Having found the group in the middle of the city, Sibir demands that Shiki, Rebecca, and Happy tell him where Weisz is, saying that he stole money from him. Rebecca nervously says they don't know where he is, and while Sibir argues with his men to attack them, Rebecca suggests they run for it so they avoid changing the past. As they try to flee, Sibir's men take notice, causing them to chase after them. Shiki uses his Satan Gravity to have them fly down the street as Sibir and his men look on in shock before starting to shoot at them with missiles. Just when Sibir is about to catch up to them, Shiki counters with his Gravity Fist technique, causing Sibir's mecha to explode. As Shiki, Rebecca, and Happy took the opportunity to escape, Sibir furiously said that they will definitely come back.

Upon gaining his grandfathers ship, Shiki came to remark that it belonged to all of them as they were a team and would be adventuring together. 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. 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 was surprised as Witch kneels and exclaimed that the Edens Zero's king has finally returned. Shiki listened as Witch stated 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. 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.

On Blue Garden, Shiki noted how there were still a lot of people on the world. He came to watch as Weisz left them to enjoy the 'future' and was 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 the person's identity. 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. 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. Upon reaching Rebecca and the captive females, Shiki entered battle with a familiar face and member of Rogue Out, Jinn. However thanks to Homura and Weisz, they free the real Sister Ivry, who defeats her imposter and joins Shiki aboard the Edens Zero as the second of the Four Shining Stars. Luckily as everyone is able to escape the planet, a chronophage consumes the planet and reverses its' time by almost 1500 years.

Sister Ivry then leads the crew to find the third of the Four Shining Stars, Hermit, who was seated on top of Iron Hill. However, they discover that due to some traumatic event in Hermit's past, she has secluded her mind into Digitalis, and they dive in to rescue her. They encounter Jamilov, a powerful player seemingly unaffected by conventional player rules. After he revealed himself to be affiliated with the powerful Drakken Joe, Homura betrays the team but not before the real Homura showed up to unmasked her imposter, Amira. With Hermit's help, Shiki is able to defeat Jamilov, who then retreats back to Drakken Joe afterwards. The team return to the real world but their ship became subject to a hacking by Spider, Jamilov's real world identity. Hermit is the only one capable of fighting him off but she refused to cooperate with humans aboard the ship due to her tragic past. Shiki convinced her that not all humans were like Müller, allowing her to rise up to the occasion and save the ship. With three of the Four Stars assembled, they had one final member left to find, Valkyrie Yuna, a powerful swordswoman as well as Homura's teacher who had disappeared a few years ago. With no lead on her location, the crew go see Xiaomei, a powerful prophet on the planet Mildian capable of seeing past, present, and future. They follow through on her condition that she'll give them Valkyrie's location by participating in a small arena fight consisting of several 1-vs-1 battles. Following Shiki's battle with an iron-man, Rebecca with a boxer, Weisz with a super-speedster, and Homura with a projection of her former teacher Valkyrie, Xiaomei reports that Valkyrie Yuna was on the planet Sun Jewel. 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 did not mind, angering him even more. He witnesses a giant mech rise up from the ground, wondering what it is. He was told by Kurenai that it was the Kurenai Dragoon, she boards in it and punched Shiki out the window. He lands on a bridge that is quickly destroyed by Kurenai. He punched the Knight Gear from above, but barely makes a scratch.

Afterwards, Shiki gave Rebecca her B-Cube back and she thanked him after which she mentioned that it was a gift from the Professor. Pino asks Rebecca if she was able to contact him but she revealed that could not. Shiki excitedly wonders if he is trying to get to mother too, which catches Weisz's attention. He then asked where Homura is, which reminds Weisz of their deal. Rebecca tells the two that Homura chose to receive Witch's mind-numbing torture and pleasure massage while screaming it was part of her training. Shiki and Weisz blush at the thought. Happy asks Weisz his condition and he explains that it's that she has to wear the clothes he picks for her from the Dress Factory. He then tells Pino that she would look great in a bunny girl suit while Shiki exclaims his desire to wear one. Rebecca and Happy decide to make a video and Pino wonders where they'll get more clues about the Shining Stars. Sister reveals she has a few leads but points out they're near Iron Hill. Shiki and the rest of the crew look out the window as the colossal monolithic structure comes into view. Sister points out the statue of Olghia, a hero who survived the Dark Ages. The crew is amazed at the size of the statue. Pino points out another one, which depicts the hero Arcelik. Sister then points out the statues of Nikolaus and Urochloa. Weisz asks how many there are. Sister replies there were 12 and explains that they are the heroes who guarded the Sakura Cosmos during the Dark Ages; the Heavenly Knights of the Dancing Sakura, the guardians of Blue Garden. Rebecca admits she had no idea about this place despite living on Blue Garden. Pino points out there is someone out there and Sister remarks that she did not expect her first guess to pay off. She wonders if they're reading her mind and reveals the person as Hermit. Shiki and Rebecca are happy to have found Hermit so quickly and Sister remarks that Hermit loved Iron Hill. She then notices something wrong and orders Mosco to bring her on board. Once Hermit is on the ship, Witch and Homura rush to the infirmary where Sister explains that Hermit has too many system errors and her Healing would not fix this. Weisz says he could not fix her when asked by Shiki. Pino's analysis of Hermit reveals that there is nothing wrong with her system and there are no viruses. Witch concludes that Hermit's heart has been damaged. Happy and Homura wonder if Hermit went through something traumatic while Shiki asks for a way to save her. Witch and Sister admit they don't know how, then Shiki suggests they go inside Hermit and fix her heart, which baffles Rebecca and Weisz. When the crew shoots down Shiki's idea he claims he feels bad for Hermit and begins crying. Witch then suddenly commends Shiki for his idea and claims that Hermit's mind may actually be on the planet Digitalis. Shiki is eager to go there and save Hermit, but Witch claims they all must dive to access the world. Weisz compares it to an online game and Rebecca clarifies that it started as an MMORPG called Rogue Fantasia. Witch explains that the game was abandoned when the NPCs became self-aware and the game became impossible to manage, but the society continues as if populated by normal people. When asked why she believes Hermit is there, Witch answers that Hermit liked the game, it's possible to log into Digitalis, and she trusts Shiki's instincts, and Shiki promises that he will save her.

Overhearing her orders, Shiki demanded to know what she was 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 did not 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. Crushed under the fist, Shiki wonders why he could not 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 did not know or care when she asked what he expected 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 countered, 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 was sure Kurenai was not making things any better, from what he had seen of the Labor District. On their way to the planet, they encounter and take in a former ship captain, Connor. Thanks to his helms, the trip that was originally supposed to take three days, was cut down to one. While Weisz stayed behind to work on a new weapon, Shiki, Homura, and Rebecca head down to the planet and enter a large casino. The casino is then held up by a group of armed criminals, but they are then swiftly defeated by Shiki and Homura, whom are later hailed as heroes. They then discover that the planet has a judgment system where all heinous criminals were executed by a giant laser, summoned by the planets overlord, Madame Kurenai, an action the team felt went too far. Shiki and Homura are the 'arrested' for inciting violence and are taken to the labor camps. There, they find their way out of the cave of Stones and meet the other laborers. Learning that the labor district also has prison wardens, Shiki stands up to one of them, Garrot, which results in Homura getting dragged into isolation instead. After saving Homura from Garrot, the two meet up with Rebecca, who had found a way into the labor district. She had met with Paul, an acquaintance of Valkyrie Yuna who had a video record of all her activities up until now. Shiki and Homura watch the video and learn of Homura's past and the circumstances that led to Valkyrie's presence here and Kurenai's rise to power. As Homura cries over Valkyrie's lifeless body, Shiki tells her that she'll need to move on at some point. With Kurenai defeated, Shiki drags her into the middle of the resistance camp where he declares that Kurenai's fate can only be decided by her daughter, Homura, who then decided to let her go instead of killing her.

Shiki takes a good chunk of the team down to Belial Gore and discover that it is a literal city, with Drakken Joe being a well know bigshot in the underworld. As they explore, they are helped by the present day Sibir, with this version having no animosity towards Weisz nor Pino. However, Drakken Joe reveals he already knew the Edens Zero crew had arrived, and with the members of his organization having already infiltrated the Edens Zero. Drakken publicly announces Shiki and his crew has fugitives and sends the Element 4 after them. Their efforts to run become fruitless as Weisz is shot and left out of commission by Fie after beating Laguna. Shiki finds Fie with Pino's help and takes him out before they are then taken to safety by Sibir. After Rebecca is dispatched by the Edens Zero with medicine to help Weisz, she is captured by Sylph, resulting in Shiki to go after her. However he is intercepted by Jinn, who reveals himself to be Sylph, or rather Kleen's brother. They briefly fight, with Jinn reaching a state known as Overdrive. Shiki manages to do so as well, but they are taken down by Drakken Joe, who reveals that their grasp of Overdrive is weak compared to his true mastery of the state. Shiki is then captured along with the rest of the crew and taken to the execution alley, where he learns that Sister, Hermit, and Witch have all been destroyed thanks to Drakken's organization. Shiki refused to give up, swearing that he will make it out. On the spot, Drakken shoots him point-blank in the head, killing Shiki. One week later, Rebecca mourns her friends' deaths as a prisoner of Drakken Joe. However she awakens to her Cat Leaper powers, allowing her to travel back in time to right before they infiltrate Beliel Gore.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Shiki Granbell was a lean toned young male human who was of average height. He spiky black hair that partially covered his ears along with slanted dark eyes and thin eyebrows. He was typically clad in a red jacket with black sleeves and metallic accents, often left unzipped to reveal a simple black shirt underneath. His pants were dark and utilitarian, suited for movement and travel, often paired with rugged boots designed for a wanderer’s lifestyle. His hair was distinctly spiky, jet-black with errant tufts jutting in various directions, lending him a wild, untamed look that mirrored his impulsive nature. His eyes were large and expressive, golden in color, conveying curiosity and determination. He bore a small scar just beneath his left eye—a minor mark from his rougher days on the abandoned theme park planet Granbell. Though generally disheveled, his appearance was not unkempt but gave off the impression of someone constantly on the move, ready for action, and uninterested in formality or presentation. Initially, he only went by the name Shiki and had on last name with Rebecca deciding to give him the name Granbell after the planet he called home. He came to inherit the title of the Demon King (魔王 Maō?) from his adoptive grandfather.

Shiki's personality was defined foremost by his innate warmth and belief in the power of friendship. He treated others with immediate sincerity and lacked any pretense or guile, often greeting strangers with open arms and an infectious smile. He held a deep, almost sacred value for camaraderie, born from his lonely upbringing among aging animatronics on Granbell. This value translated into a powerful emotional drive to make friends across the stars, and he frequently placed himself in danger to protect others or to extend trust even to those who initially meant him harm. His emotional compass was simple but unshakable—he despised cruelty and refused to abandon those in need, no matter the consequences.

Unlike some humans, Shiki saw robots as living beings capable of emotions and were alive themselves. As such, he never treated them badly and was angered to see if a robot was handled as an object instead of being a person. Shiki had said that he did not follow rules in matters relating to his friends as they were more important than that. He had said that he was not some hero fighting for justice but rather fought against anyone that hurt his friends.

He held a strong sense of loyalty and refused to leave Granbell for many years as he believed he had to take care of the robots of the park as they were his friends.

Despite his often naive or overly earnest behavior, Shiki also demonstrated a surprisingly keen sense of empathy and moral conviction. He could detect pain in others quickly, reacting with unflinching resolve to right perceived wrongs. However, his idealism sometimes blinded him to the more complex motivations of others, causing friction with allies who took more pragmatic or cynical stances. He was quick to anger when his friends were harmed, but his anger was never spiteful—it was rooted in an almost childlike outrage that others could behave so callously. His simplicity, far from being a weakness, became his strength—his sincerity cutting through fear, deception, or hierarchy, making him both an ally of immense loyalty and a leader others instinctively trusted.

Though generally fearless, it was shown that he had a fear of insects and bugs.

Shiki, due to having no contact with humans before meeting Rebecca, has little common sense. Examples being that he didn't understand why he couldn't watch Rebecca change clothes or sleep in the same room as her, touching other people with no regard to personal space, mistaken being insulted for wanting to be friends, and instantly trusting people when they proclaim "friendship", although later in the series, he has adapted and is less naive toward people who wants to become "friends" such as rejecting Shura's deal of friendship and being more aware of Holy's intentions of wanting an alliance.

It is also shown that Shiki had developed a perverted side, which first started at Granbell when he saw Rebecca for the first time. However, it seemed to had gotten worse over time thanks to Weisz's influence, to the point he became ‘lustful’.

Shiki and Rebecca have romantic feelings for one another, most evidently was when the crew was taking a break at Ryuzetsu land on the planet Dahlia, the both of them were taking photo snapshots of them together which ended with Rebecca kissing Shiki on the cheek as thanks for helping her throughout their adventures, the embarrassed Shiki counters by saying she is always helping him.

Shiki treasures all the relationships and see's the crew of Edens as his family, the series likens Weisz as an older brother figure, Homura like a Sister as well as Hermit and Sister Ivry, Witch as a Mother, Happy and Pino like little siblings he never had, and the rest of the crew who he has bonded with. Above all he seems to hold Rebecca in the highest regard as she was the first human he has ever met and can relate the most as her best friend (Happy) is also a robot. their relationship had reached many points from getting angry for one another to reassuring one another. Most notably after the Aoi war, Rebecca was the one who brought Shiki out of his depressive state and comforted him as well as encouraged him to keep going and to keep living for others sake.

Powers and abilities

Physically, Shiki Granbell exhibited extraordinary raw athleticism. His body was highly trained from years of physical labor, climbing, fighting, and tinkering with mechanical parts on Granbell. It was shown that he had great physical strength to the point that he was able to push someone back with a single punch. He possessed impressive reflexes, allowing him to dodge and respond to attacks instinctively. His muscular structure, while not bulky, provided an exceptional balance between speed and power; he could leap vast distances unaided, sprint at high speeds, and endure harsh environmental conditions. His pain tolerance and durability were well beyond normal human standards, as evidenced by his ability to recover quickly from blunt trauma and continue fighting through sheer willpower. Even when stripped of his technological enhancements or powers, Shiki was capable of holding his own in hand-to-hand combat against trained opponents, relying on his honed instincts, natural coordination, and fearless tenacity to overcome adversity.

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. According to Hermit, Shiki's physical strength is recorded to be 2000 to 2500.

As he was growing up, he came to be equipped with Ether Gear (エーテルギア Ēteru Gia?) that allowed him to manipulate the natural energy of Ether (エーテル Ēteru?). In his case, Shiki came to inherit Ziggy's power which was Satan Gravity (サタングラビティ Satan Gurabiti) that allowed him to control and manipulate gravity. This allowed him to achieve a variety of feats with this power such as changing the direction of gravitational force around himself. With this, he was able to stick to walls and impart this power to another person that was near him. Alternatively, he could nullify the effects of gravity allowing him to float in the air or make objects and people weightless to a certain extent. When using Ether Gear, his strength was magnified 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. According to Hermit, Shiki's physical strength was recorded to be 2000 to 2500.

Granbell exhibited the ability to manipulate the gravity of himself and other objects, a power characterized by the appearance of glowing green lines across his skin. He demonstrated the capacity to alter his own gravitational pull to walk vertically up walls and stand upside down on ceilings. He utilized this manipulation to increase the force of his physical strikes, enabling him to launch opponents into the air and cause significant structural damage to his surroundings. His physical attributes included enhanced strength and speed, allowing him to jump great distances and maneuver through the air with precision. Additionally, he possessed technical knowledge of machinery and robotics, which he applied to the maintenance and repair of various mechanical entities. He also displayed the ability to physically interact with and lift large metallic objects that exceeded the weight of an average human.

With his power, he was able to perform a number of techniques that included:

• Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist (魔械流 重拳 Makai-ryū: Jūken) : Shiki's arm began to glow for a brief moment and then he punched his opponent with enough force to rupture the ground in several places and destroying nearby buildings.
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist Frenzy (魔械流 重拳乱舞 Makai-ryū: Jūken Ranbu) :
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Center (魔械流 重心 Makai-ryū: Jūshin) : an immense amount of force was exerted on an airborne target by boosting its gravity thus pulling the target to the ground.
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Wave (魔械流 重力波 Makai-ryū: Jūryokuha) : by placing his palms on on the ground, Shiki was able to create a spiral force that pulled targets towards him.
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Windmill Kick (魔械流 重旋脚 Makai-ryū: Jūsen Kyaku) :
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Cannon (魔械流 重弾 Makai-ryū: Jūdan) :
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Comet (魔械流 重彗星 Makai-ryū: Jūsuisei) :
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Tackle (魔械流 重身 Makai-ryū Jūshin) :
• Magimech Attack: Gravity Impact (魔械流 グラビティインパクト Makai-ryū: Gurabiti Inpakuto) :

Shiki was able to enter into a more advanced powered Ether Gear state called Overdrive (オーバードライブ Ōbādoraibu). This allowed Ether energy to be channelled to all across his body and made him much more powerfl. 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. However, his rudimentary grasp of Overdrive could not match Drakken Joe, who comprehended its true function. 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.
