edenszero

A Young Man's Memories (少年の記憶 Shōnen no Kioku) is the 96th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Edens Zero.

As he recklessly attacks Drakken for causing the death of his mother, Weisz thinks back to the events that caused his friendship with Sibir to fall apart. Just as Weisz calms down and readies himself to fight by his Shiki's side, Drakken begins experiencing the effects of his life support device's reversal—which takes an unimaginable turn for the worse.

Summary

Shiki and Weisz battling Drakken

Shiki and Weisz battling Drakken

Weisz fires bullets at Drakken who brushes them off, making him change weapons. A flashback occurs from 60 years ago on Norma, a young Weisz is with his bedridden mother in the hospital. Weisz over hears the conversation from a pair of doctors, about how they cannot find what is causing the patient to get weaker, as if her life was being drained, one notes of doing research of four past cases and states that all of them died. Weisz's mother calls him, telling to stay strong since she worries that he is not good at making friends, Weisz cries begging his mother to not die. His mother tells him that he will not be alone as he has another mother, she is a mother to all in the cosmos, as her flatline beeps. In the present, Weisz yells that he killed her, but Drakken does not know who he is talking about and denies killing people. Weisz states that he only does so he could feed off them and how dozens of people died on Norma from an unknown cause like his mother, because their life force was drained. Weisz reconfigures his suit's right arm, making it bigger to punch Drakken, who catches it and converts his suit into an explosion. Drakken states that he always background checks his enemies and that Weisz's reminded him that he cut of his arm years ago when he stole his money. Drakken converts his arm into a blade and prepares to chop off Weisz arm.

Another flashback occurs, where Weisz and Sibir are sitting together in a construction site, where Weisz tells him that he got his pendant from his mother and that after she died he bought a robot who taught him his Ether Gear. He adds that he was not very good at first, having unfortunately destroyed his teacher in the process. Sometime later, Weisz yells at Sibir, accusing him for stealing his pendant, but he defends himself and tells the blond to stop accusing his group without proof. Weisz exclaims they are not his crew, angered at this, Sibir orders the others to get him out. He mutters that he thought they were friends, which Weisz claims that he does not have any friends and promises to steal something that he cares about. In the present, Shiki saves Weisz, telling him to calm down. Weisz says that he did not ask for help, but Shiki replies that a friend gives it anyway. Knowing that they cannot beat Drakken on their own, they ready themselves to fight him together. Suddenly Drakken falls to his knees, as Hermit finishes her hacking and reverses Drakken's energy flow. A blackout occurs in the Belial Gore, where the Life Support Device starts rumbling. On the Edens Zero, Witch and Sister congratulates Hermit, but the Mind of Edens worries that, while Drakken is getting weaker, something does not seem right. Back to Shiki and Weisz, they witness the Dark Alchemist mutating into a monster.
