Erde Kaiser

From Xenosaga Wiki

Erde Kaiser is a giant mech which the Professor creates for the party in Episode I. It is the most powerful summon spell in Xenosaga. Furthermore, Episode II features "Erde Kaiser Fury" and "Dark Erde Kaiser", a central figure on one of the game's sidequests.

Each of its four components ( in Episode II) has a separate attack corresponding to an order of angels, (Thrones, Seraphs, Cherubs, Dominions). It is also thought to be a reference to the four pilots of the "G-Elements" mecha in Xenogears (Tolone, Seraphita, Kelvena, Dominia).

Episode III allows the player to summon all three incarnations of Erde Kaiser, and even takes the Xenogears reference one step further in introducing "Erde Kaiser Sigma" who looks extremely like "G-Elements".

During the events of Episode III, parts of Erde Kaiser were used to build KOS-MOS Version 4 and to power E.S. Asher when it lost its Vessel of Anima.

The name "Erde Kaiser" is German for "Earth-Ruler, or Earth-Emperor."
