Ado Edem (アド・エデム, Ado Edemu?) is an Ether Liner in the Land of Steel of Notes.

Profile[]

Background[]

Ado Edem was one of the seventy eight Ether Liners fighting during the Great War against the A-Rays. He did not stand out much during the battles with the A-rays, but he rose to prominence with the arrive of the Aristoteles.[1] Seven years before the events of Notes, Type Jupiter, several dozens of kilometers in size, ravaged the Western Continent, wiping out all their forces without a scratch. Ado Edem was dispatched with a team of Knights to face it, and it was sliced by Ado Edem's Knight Arm Slash Emperor with a single blow after a fierce battle. The artificial sun within Type Jupiter went berserk after being slashed, burning the whole of the continent.[2]

Due to seeing the power of Ado Edem's Knight Arm as too great, the A-Rays, Liners, and many of the Ether Liners united to imprison him in the Witch Swift Umbrella inside the Great Rift. As the war with the Aristoteles was approaching its end, he was released as the trump card of humanity. At some point after Type Saturn's assault of the city situated on top of Type Venus that resulted in the death of Gun God, Ado Edem managed to destroy it, triggering the final battle. His fate afterwards was unknown.[1]

Slash Emperor and its growth process

Ado Edem makes use of the Knight Arm Slash Emperor (斬撃皇帝, Zangeki Kōtei?), the sword that consumes planets (星を食うもの?). It is described as a "simple Knight Arm" that is able to grow according to the size of its opponent. It was not particularly notable against the A-Rays, only showing its real worth upon the arrival of the Aristoteles that are kilometers in size. While at rest, it is in a seed like state growing out of his right palm. He awakens it by driving it into the ground, and it begins to grow like a plant at the speed of his own thoughts. It makes use of large quantities of Grain to manifest itself, so it needs an enormous energy source from which to convert it.[1]

Slash Emperor, as it grows larger, chips away at the very earth for its energy. Its method of eroding the earth can be compared to the ways of the old world, which makes Slash Emperor something that can be called the "embodiment of human nature." It is something that "destroys the world in order to protect humans." When it is large enough in its battle state, it seems to give off a blue "aura-like" part, but it is not the Grain released by the blade. It is actually Slash Emperor splitting apart the Blood Sky, the blood of Type Pluto covering the planet, of the Land of Steel and displaying its true state. This act is the "dignity of Slash Emperor." The sword is able to cleave the Aristoteles in a single slash despite nothing else in the world aside from Black Barrel being able to harm them.[1]

    Introduction - Knight Arm Slash Emperor

    The Knight Arm that Ado Edem possesses. The sword that consumes planets.

    It is a simple Knight Arm that is able to grow according to the size of its opponent.

    The seed that Edem holds in his hand sprouts and grows at the speed of his thoughts.

    However, with regards to this sword’s use of True Ether (Grain), it requires huge quantities to manifest itself, and needs an enormous convertible energy source.

    As the sword grows larger, it chips away at the earth to do so.
    This method of gaining energy by eroding the earth is similar to that of the old world. Edem’s Knight Arm can be called the embodiment of human nature, as it destroys the world in order to protect humans.

    Before it takes form, the Knight Arm stays in a seed-like state, and when Edem awakens it by driving it into the earth, it grows like a plant.

    Pictured is its usual battle state. The blue aura-like part is not the Grain released by the blade, but the sky split open by the blade. Splitting apart the “red sky” of the wasteland world and displaying its true state is the dignity of Slash Emperor.

    Explanation - Ado Edem

    The Ether Liner who manifests the Knight Arm, Slash Emperor.

    He was an Ether Liner who did not stand out much during the war with the A-rays, but suddenly rose to prominence when the Aristoteles invaded.

    He used Slash Emperor to slash through “The Black Aristoteles” (Type:Jupiter) in a single blow.

    Later, because the power of his Knight Arm was too great, the A-Rays, Liners, and many Ether Liners united to imprison him in the Witch Swift Umbrella, a disposal area created in the Great Rift.

    …As the war with the Aristoteles approached a close, he was seen as humanity’s trump card and thrown into the conflict, and was able to destroy “The Cross” (Type:Saturn), the fortress-like Aristoteles that had been attacked uselessly for a long time. His fate afterwards is unknown.

    Explanation 02: Witch Swift Umbrella

    A castle built in the Great Rift.

    Its name originates from its scaffolding, which looks similar to a large, upside-down, open umbrella.

    The original form of the Millenium Castle Brunestud from Tsukihime. A prison resembling a castle, with many walls and layers of gates linked with thousands of chains.

    Even standing up from the throne would require enough power to destroy the entire castle.

    Additionally, it is said that in order to reach the throne, one must pass through 78 “magic doors” that a normal Ether Liner would be unable to destroy.

    Explanation 03: The Great Rift

    Of the Six Sisters who lead the A-Rays, the youngest sister created this great crevice that split the earth in two.

    It was not intentionally created by the Six Sisters. Instead, as Ether Liners slew the youngest Sister, her death struggle rent a crack in the earth.

    By the way, even though “Magic” has been lost in the Land of Steel, the Six Sisters were indeed “Real Magic Users”.

    Explanation 04: Ether Liners

    The people who evolved into a new type of human in order to survive on and adapt to this wasteland are called Liners. Among them are also those who maintain their human shape but continue to evolve.

    From birth, they have an extra organ outside of their body, and in time this uses Grain to manifest matter.  These are known as Knight Arms, and those who can use this Knight Arm are called Ether Liners.

    Source: Source/(over count 1999) (From Tsukihime Dokuhon)

    A story that describes the extermination of humanity, and the war between the new humans and the planets. Its genre is science fiction.

    It recounts fairy tales of the war between the new humans, who adapted to the environment, and the A-Rays, who came from the artificially created next-generation ecosystems.

    On the planet that was doomed to death, political strife developed between the two races, to the point where the mysterious beings, the Aristoteles, rushed over from the universe with the intent of completely wiping out all life---

    In any case, ultimately it is a hopeless story.

  2. [v] Notes - The Black Aristoteles [type:jupiter]

    The Black Aristoteles [type:jupiter]
    An Aristoteles that appeared in the western continent.
    A black giant several dozen kilometers in size. Its form was pretty close to a human.
    It was actually a group of black photon gas, and theoretically its size can expand infinitely. It carries a unknown core in its center that can only be described as an artificial sun, and the gases are emitted from this object.
    Of the 8 Aristoteles, it eliminated the most living things. The western continent went on an all out battle, and it wiped them out without a scar. ... Although there's probably no such thing as a scar to this Aristoteles.
    After this incident, a team of Knights were sent to the western continent. After a fierce battle, it was sliced into half by the demonic sword of Knight Edem, the Slash Emperor. The chopped artificial sun went berserk and burned the whole western continent.

    黒いアリストテレス [type:jupiter]
    大陸の西に出現したアリストテレス。
    全長数十キロメートルにおよぶ黒一色の巨人で、フォルムは人間に極めて近かった。
    正体は黒色の光子ガスの集合体で、理論上その大きさは無限大にまで膨張する。ガスの中心に擬似太陽としか説明できない正体不明の核を持ち、体である光子ガスはその物体から放出されていたようだ。
    八体のアリストテレスの中で最も生命を消去したモノ。西の大陸に総力戦を挑まれ、これを無傷で撃退する。…もってものアリストテレスは傷という概念はないだろう。
    その後、西の大陸に派遣された騎士団との戦闘の末、騎士エデムの魔剣・斬撃皇帝によって両断される。断ち切られた擬似太陽は暴走し、西の大陸の地表をすべて灼き尽くした。
