I’m afraid
I really hope that Shura gives him a reality check, again
Some people don’t change
"Oh everyone can change, just give them a chance"… I hate this narrative
The only acceptable scenario would be if Shura "befriends" him but has some kind of wicked and egoistic plan
Shura could betray Shiki in a critical moment and fuck up the war

or Shiki just beats his ass and learns his lesson
Well maybe they won't be friends, but they could form an alliance to defeat Void and the OSG. With an alliance Shura could be an anti villain.
I also wanted that Shiki kills Shura but after I thought about it.....tbh an alliance between them could be interesting plus they need his power and that of his empire.
If Void has really all six members of the OSG on his side then they need strong characters who can fight them.
Then from the crew only Shiki is strong enough to defeat one of the OSG. With training Homura and Jinn also could defeat one but I don't think that someone like Rebecca could do it and tbh I don't want it that Rebecca defeats a character who could destroy a planet.
We have at least 6 characters on Voids side with that power and who knows if some old OSI members like Eraser or Feather are not with him too or with the Saintfire curch who are maybe the main antagonist. To many strong characters on the evil side. So Shiki etc also need strong allies and the only ones are Drakken, Nero, Holy, Elsie, James and Shura.
If Drakken and Nero can be good guys why not Shura too? Imo at this point it doesn't matter if one guy joins more or not.
Nero was more evil than Shura in U2 and U3 and is still a "good" guy now.
Imo it's more pathetic to make Nero a good guy than Shura.
At the end it's important what Hiro will do with this decisions.
But if Shiki kills Shura and would also be good for me. I will probably accept both ways.
