Featured Kigurumi Special: Ellen Joe's Shark Kigurumi Onesie!

Ellen Joe’s banner in the game may have ended a few days ago, but we’re not about to miss the opportunity to talk about her magnificent shark kigurumi onesie. Quite adorably on brand for the recently launched Zenless Zone Zero, you only get to witness its full glory in the opening segment of her animated teaser. And in a fitting twist, already sets up her overall energy in-lore.

For those not in the know, Ellen Joe is that laid-back, energy-conserving maid from Victoria Housekeeping. By day, she's executes missions with a side of "do I have to?" attitude. But when the sun goes down and it's time to recharge those batteries, Ellen slips into something a little more... shark-tastic.

Enter the shark kigurumi! This isn't just any old onesie, folks. It's that ultra-classic blue plus white combination that would make even the great whites of the deep green with envy. Yep, that soft, plush fabric with the hood itself line with jagged teeth, complete with a dorsal fin and a tail (well... technically her actual physical tail). It's like Ellen's taking her shark-girl status to the next level in the comfiest way possible.

Now, you might be wondering, "why a kigurumi?" Well, when you’re already part animal-themed, why not lean into it completely? Plus, have you seen how comfy those things look? It's like being hugged by a cloud... that could theoretically eat you.

Needless to say, don't expect to catch Ellen patrolling New Eridu or even running your Shiyu Defense/Hollow Zero runs in this getup. The shark kigurumi is strictly for bedtime and lazy days off. So that few seconds of her groggily checking her phone is even more precious in hindsight. Besides, Von Lycaon probably have more than just one thing to say if she ever goes to work in her comfy onesie.

Despite its brief appearance in the trailer, we all know that the kigurumi onesie is a crucial part of Ellen’s daily life in New Eridu. With her high-energy fighting style and constant juggling of student life and maid duties, our girl needs all the rest she can get in style. And what better way to catch some Z's in ZZZ than in a suit that matches your tail?

So next time you're visiting Victoria Housekeeping, Corin might be on the lookout for her again remember that the sleepy-looking maid with the permanent lollipop might just be dreaming of snuggling up in her shark suit. Just don't ask her about it – weight and nicknames aren't the only things this shark keeps secret!
