Homura Kōgetsu, a swordswoman from Planet Oedo, ascends as Valkyrie Homura within the Crew of Edens, succeeding her mentor Valkyrie Yuna of the Four Shining Stars. Her Ether Gear, Soul Blade, manifests bladed weapons from Ether—a power refined since youth to confront the Demon King. Abandoned by her mother Kurenai, Homura was rescued from traffickers by Valkyrie, who trained her in swordsmanship and instilled tales of Edens Zero and their nemesis. Driven to find her vanished mentor, she joined the crew after aiding their rescue of B-Cubers, bargaining entry by accepting Weisz Steiner’s wardrobe whims. Calmly determined yet prone to voicing thoughts aloud, Homura’s bluntness sparks unintended humor. She champions justice selflessly, thrives against worthy foes, but falters in scorching environments, often seen retreating from the Spa of Eden’s heat. Mastering Five Sword Fencing styles—Leopard, Dragon, Snake, Crane, and Tiger—she deploys techniques like Leopard Claw Frenzy and Odin Strike’s explosive blades. Her tactical adaptability shines against foes like Kleene and Milani. Post-training with Xenolith, she unlocks Overdrive, enhancing her prowess with fox-like traits and twin oriental longswords. Pivotal trials include a Valkyrie replica confrontation in the Temple of Knowledge, provoking unchecked fury, and the Sun Jewel arc, where she uncovers Valkyrie’s death and Kurenai’s abandonment. Though unresolved paternal lineage lingers, Universe 0’s altered timelines reveal Valkyrie alive and Kurenai’s concealed love, redefining her past. Her attire shifts from floral yellow kimonos to battle gear like a Mildian bunny suit or Overdrive’s fox-themed armor, often dictated by Weisz’s app. Beyond combat, she strategizes with the crew, steadies Hermit through crises, and nurtures bonds marked by loyalty and playful rivalry, particularly with Rebecca.
