"Thunderbolt Zeke. Tantal's most powerful Driver ...and its Crown Prince."
— Mòrag

His Highness the Crown Prince Ozychlyrus Brounev Tantal (Japanese: ジーフリト・ブリューネ・ルクスリア, Jīfurito Buryūne Rukusuria, Sîvrit Brunet Luxuria), better known as Zeke von Genbu (Japanese: ジーク・B・極・玄武, Jīku B Arutimetto Genbu, Zeke B Ultimate Genbu), is a Driver and one of the main playable characters in 异度神剑 2. He is accompanied by his Blade, Pandoria.

Zeke 加入 the party during 第5章, right before embarking to Temperantia.

Personality

Zeke is 拜亚斯 to flamboyant speech and mannerisms, styling himself as "Zeke von Genbu, Bringer of Chaos" and "The Zekenator", and uses similarly grandiose names for his sword and arts. He is known throughout Alrest as "Thunderbolt Zeke"; the Crown Prince and most powerful Driver of the Kingdom of Tantal.

After being disowned from the Tantalese throne by his 父亲, Zeke developed a deep resentment of him, viewing Tantal as backwards and ignorant to the rest of the world for their isolation policies. Despite this, Zeke was shown to still be proud of his country's legacy until the lies about Addam's heritage are discovered.

Despite his mannerisms, Zeke is sometimes portrayed as being reflexive and mature. However, he is usually accompanied by bad luck, and is afraid of heights. Zeke and Pandoria have a pet turtle who they call Turters.

Appearance

Zeke is a tall and muscular man with short and spiky dark gray hair. He has part of Pandoria's Core Crystal embedded in his chest, marking his condition as a Blade Eater.

Zeke's most notable trait is his black eye patch that covers his left eye, which he claims is his Shining Eye of Justice but Pandoria suggests is due to him only being able to afford one contact lens. He is usually dressed with a long black coat that he tends to leave open, exposing his chest, with 防具 over his knees and 肩. He also also wears black gloves that cover his forearms, and black/mint green boots.

Despite having grey eyes unlike 其它 Tantalese, who have red eyes, Zeke uses contact lenses, so his actual eye color may be different.

Alternate Costumes

Embercake, Shining Justice, Surfinator

Zeke has three alternate costumes which can be obtained as DLC Aux Cores via Challenge Battle Mode. These are:


Story

Zeke and his Blade, Pandoria

Around the age of 15, Zeke was disowned by his 父亲 and banished from Tantal, mainly due to him leaving the nation 复数部位 times despite Tantal's isolationist policy. Later, he ends up severely wounded after a battle in a forest. Pandoria tries to carry Zeke, on the brink of death, to safety, but collapses. Praetor Amalthus arrives on the scene and takes the two back to Indol. He then takes a portion of Pandoria's Core Crystal and implants it into Zeke's heart to save him, effectively making him a Blade Eater. In return, Zeke became a special envoy for Indol to find and test the new Driver of the Aegis.

Before he departed from Indol, he shared a few conversations with Amalthus. Amalthus asked him whether he had ever killed a person, and Zeke answered that he hadn't, as killing is a sign of weakness. Zeke later talked of how some bandits in the forest attempted to take Pandoria's Core Crystal and sell her. Amalthus responded by stating that 人类 forcibly take that what is denied to them, but Zeke challenged this claim. Zeke then asked why he even bothered protecting the refugees in Indol, to which Amalthus replied he must never forget the true nature of 人类. Zeke asks whether that was why Amalthus 被救了 him, and Amalthus draws a comparison of Pandoria trying to save Zeke to his own mother saving his life.

Zeke's luck brings a boulder down on him

Zeke first meets Rex and the 其它 nearby Cobalt Cliffs in Uraya. He challenges them to a battle, but a cliff that he was standing on collapses, and he falls and disappears. He reappears once more before the party can reach the Old Factory and challenges them again. This time, a large boulder sends Zeke and Pandoria flying off into the distance. He later shows up in Ysheva Harbor to challenge them to another battle. Though the party remains skeptical, as all 其它 times have resulted in his defeat, he performs Sonic thunderslash and knocks down the party, much to their surprise. Mòrag then reveals that he is the crown prince of Tantal. After battling the Aegis, he takes the party to Indol.

Zeke reveals himself as an envoy of Indol

Zeke later represents his home country of Tantal at the Ruler's Congress. Acting as an eyewitness alongside Mòrag and Mythra, he convinces Queen Raqura that the Titan 武器 attack was the work of Torna and Malos.

He then guides the party to Theosoir, the capital of Tantal. He reveals the poor state of the Tantalese people, showing a dislike for his father's rule. After Pyra is captured, Zeke rescues the party and helps divert the 以太 Accelerator's aim. This, however, causes Genbu to quickly dive beneath the Cloud Sea, threatening all life inside it. To save Genbu, he 加入 the party to get to Genbu Crown and fix the Omega Fetter. When the party defeats Mikhail, Patroka, and Akhos, Zeke intends to imprison them before Jin turns the tide. After the Aegis is taken by Torna, King Eulogimenos tells Zeke to travel with Rex and protect him.

Zeke recalls talking to Amalthus

As Zeke and the 其它 climb the World Tree, he recalls his first conversation he had with Amalthus, and asks whether Rex likes the world. Naturally, Rex responds that the world is a good place and that though some people are bad, life is about taking both the good and the bad. As Amalthus is being killed by Jin, Zeke recalled his 其它 conversation with Amalthus. He then wonders how Amalthus could be filled with so much hatred, yet he seemed so sad in that one moment.

Eye of Shining Justice

The Unleash Shining Justice skill grants Zeke the ability to enter a special state in battle. In battle, with Pandoria and at max 牵绊, the player can press Button-plus.png while holding Button-R.png to activate the skill, during which blue flames ignite on Zeke's eyepatch. Zeke gains several buffs, including much faster art animations, immunity to all debuffs (倒地, Blowdown, etc.), movement speed faster than when at normal max 牵绊, and a very large damage multiplier. However, the effect is only temporary, can only be activated once per battle, and instantly inflicts Blowdown on Zeke once it ends.

Battles

Zeke is fought three times as a Driver boss along with his Blade, Pandoria. He is first fought at level 23 at the Cobalt Cliffs in the Kingdom of Uraya, then at level 32 at the Chansagh Wastes in the Empire of Mor Ardain, right before the Abandoned Excavation, and at level 35 at the Ysheva Harbor in the Leftherian Archipelago. He is also fought as a hallucination in the First Low Orbit Station.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Zeke is one of the characters who can appear on the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC stage, Cloud Sea of Alrest, where he may be present in the background alongside Pandoria. Zeke also has a 精灵 that can be unlocked on the 精灵 Board.

Trivia

  • The name "Zeke" is likely a shortened form of his real name, "Ozychlyrus". His name "Sîvrit" in the Japanese version is the Middle High German form of "Siegfried".
  • During his "special" attack in cutscenes, the kanji 極 (kyoku, ultimate) appears on the ground.
  • One of Zeke's lines during battle is "I'm really feeling it!", a line also said by Shulk in 异度神剑 (which he can also say in 异度神剑 2 if engaged as a Blade).
  • Zeke says his eyepatch "conceals a power too great for mere mortals to comprehend… The Eye of Shining Justice!" However, this claim is undermined by Pandoria's backhanded support, "He definitely isn't wearing it because he didn't have the gold for a second contact lens."
  • Zeke’s Japanese voice lines seem to reflect an accent indicitive of the Kansai region of Japan.
  • Zeke's act as the Bringer of Chaos is a take on the common concept of Chunibyo, a term typically used to describe early teens who want to stand out so much that they have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.
