#it's just that zeke (and also pandoria) take up much more of my brain space

Hope you guys will indulge me a little bit as I just wanna list off some things I love about Zeke

He's the Zekenator

He's such a silly goofy guy

His design is perfection

The Eye of Shining Justice

He's extremely quotable (I have "Zeke von Genbu, Bringer of Chaos! Mostly known as Zeke and often addressed as the Zekenator" memorized)

His blade, Pandoria, has lightning powers and I like lightning powers

Also he has a big fucking lightning sword

His super ultra mega move is called "Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash Max" and the name of it is so long that in game it has to be abbreviated to ULFS Max

Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash Max is also just my favorite move to use, it's very satisfying

Turters

He's a genuinely interesting character with depth despite the fact he initially seems like just a comic relief character

"Handling a Man's Turtle" <- another great quote from the Zekenator

His theme goes hard

The fact that his main nerf is that his animations for his moves take a long time because he's such a show off

He has bad luck as a character trait and that actually carries over into his stats as he has the worst luck stat of the party members (That sounds bad but I honestly just love the attention to detail)

He's the Zekenator

Gushing about his backstory more, he's a prince who hates the way his kingdom is run and got kicked out for constantly leaving and refusing to do his royal studies, but even so he still clearly cares about his kingdom and his people, he just hates the way things are run

He's also 100% correct about the kingdom being run poorly btw

Him and Pandoria have such funny moments and banter but are also so soft they make me so crazy /pos

He's such a great mentor/big brother figure to Rex

And also his rivalry with Morag is really great

Nia calls him Shellhead and he just kinda accepts it

I feel like I should bring up a point involving Tora now but all I can really think of is they have some funny dialogue together

He has a no kill policy because he believes killing people makes you weak

Just every cutscene he's in brings me joy

His idle animations are great, sometimes I just put the controller down to watch them

Did I mention that he's the Zekenator?
