Right before his on-screen debut, Shura is [[CharacterShilling shilled]] by Orc as the superior GravityMaster to either Shiki or Ziggy, even with Shiki's [[SuperMode Overdrive]] taken into account. This is supported when the two face off on Nero 66, with Shura's [[SkilledAndStrong varied attacks]] beating out Shiki's greater focus on raw strength. By this point, however, Shiki has [[TookALevelInBadass more or less caught up to Shura's level]] thanks to his training under Xenolith, who also taught Shiki how to use Black Sky, the ultimate Gravity Ether Gear technique, something Shura (a self-taught user) never learned in the first place.
