Edens Zero - Episode 22 - Greedy Madame Kurenai

After taking over the rule of Sun Jewel from her deceased husband, Madame Kurenai mandated higher mining output.

Homura learned the truth of what happened to Valkyrie after she left her alone. Valkyrie had gone looking for Homura's mother, and she found her! Edens Zero doesn't shy away from showing how ugly people can be, and Homura's mother was a nasty, greedy woman who never wanted to raise her daughter. This woman even took the opportunity of freedom that Valkyrie gave her to seduce the governor, assassinate him, and take over the planet. Yes, Madame Kurenai is Homura's mother! Valkyrie died defending the Labor District from a crystal monster attack. This came as a direct consequence of the new governor's unsafe mining quotas.

Homura needed time to mourn the death of her mentor and mother figure. Shiki decided to confront Madame Kurenai and make her apologize to Homura. Kurenai appears to have expensive gear to make up for her lack of innate Ether Gear abilities. Can her greed beat Shiki's power of friendship? The answer comes in the next episode!
