Edens Zero: Hermit’s Traumatic Past, Explained

In his latest work ‘Edens Zero,’ author Hiro Mashima has taken a slightly unorthodox route compared to his previous series, with a focus on the grim and despair-ridden side of humanity. This shift in storytelling is evident from the characters’ somber backstories, as almost every single member of the crew has gone through some sort of horrid event in the past. However, Hermit’s past is the embodiment of this running theme as the tragic and traumatic nature of her backstory stands out the most.
