The crew anticipate a three-day voyage to Sun Jewel to avoid a hazardous debris field near the planet. En route, they rescue a shipwrecked space captain named Connor from a passing school of Aoi Cosmos fish. Connor quickly exhausts the crew's hospitality with his intrusive behavior and poor manners, but when the crew confront him for unauthorized piloting of Edens Zero, they find that he has safely brought them to Sun Jewel through the debris field within the first day of the voyage; he remains aboard the ship afterwards, withholding the name of his original ship, Edens One. Weisz remains behind to construct a new weapon while Shiki's group investigates Sun Jewel, where Shiki and Homura thwart a casino robbery. Madame Kurenai, the planet's ruler and an associate of Drakken, publically executes the robbers with a laser-mounted satellite called Satellite Blaze. For their use of violence against the robbers, Shiki and Homura are branded as criminals by Madame Kurenai's emissaries, who fire the same laser on them.
