Description
Drakken Joe, known as the "Dark Alchemist" and "Undead Joe," emerges from a planet where humans live only 15 years. Isolation and a desperate quest to defy his fleeting lifespan drove him to master alchemy, forging the Ether Gear "Alchemist" to steal life force from others. Centuries of survival via a life-support device twisted his initial longing for connection into a hunger for power.

Operating as "DJ Zombie" on Norma, he carved a notorious legacy through orchestrated deaths and brutal punishments, such as severing Weisz Steiner’s arm for theft. His empire transformed Guilst into a lawless nexus, securing his rank among the Oración Seis Galáctica—a cadre of planetary threats. Ruthless tactics like extortion and torture cemented his status as a loan shark who viewed humans as tools for exploitation.

Sustained by a machine draining life forces to preserve his youth, his Ether Gear prolonged his reign over two centuries. Reversing the device’s function triggered rapid aging, withering him into frailty. A climactic battle with Shiki Granbell and the Edens Zero crew shattered his mutated Ether form, culminating in his arrest, empire’s collapse, and syndicate’s dissolution.

In Universe 0, an alternate timeline reveals a subdued Drakken Joe siphoning life from animals instead of humans. Aligned with Nero to govern Belial Gore, he voices remorse for his counterparts’ cruelties yet treads a morally murky path.

His powers span matter transmutation, Overdrive transformations amplifying physical and Ether prowess, and weaponized innovations like petrification rays. Strategic brilliance shines through his elite Element 4 enforcers and manipulation of events such as hijacking Kurenai Kougetsu’s Satellite Blaze to dominate the Sakura Cosmos.

Consequences of his tyranny—crumbling empire, withered body, and solitary imprisonment—seal his fate. His story ends with implied death from age, marking the fall of a once-indomitable criminal legend.
