Cruz Schild (クルス・シルト?) Voiced by: Aya Endo
A young boy whose older sister Aruka was presumably killed by a Testament.He is a bit of a wimp, but has a certain strength to him. He was very attached to Aruka and speaks to her in his thoughts as well as carrying around a pendent with her picture. He is often used as a sort of gopher by the other team members, most notably Blade and Eve. He is the only known survivor during the rebellion against Simeon. Even though he is powerless, his intelligence makes up for it. This is proven when he helps Eve defeat Uten and subsequently in the battle with the Simeon Girl Force in Simeon. However Cruz would then suffer heartbreak when Aruka reappeared before him as a king of Simeon and nearly killed him (as well as stealing his pendent which in truth contained a data chip with information vital to Simeon). Eve saved his life, but not before his spirit was shown in-depth scenes from the day the resistance was slaughtered and Aruka's role in it. Witnessing these events caused him to sadly accept that somewhere along the line, she chose to forsake him for Simeon. Cruz continued to fight with Blade, bearing witness to the battle between the Adams and all of Blade's friends fighting against Arclight's monstrous form. After the PF Zero blast the story has centered on Cruz trying to find his friends while dealing with his own feelings of helplessness. He has found most of his friends, and made new allies. He has been forced to disguise himself as a girl to survive the killer girl squad academy and is currently forced to remain in girl clothes (his girl persona is also known as Yamada). This is partially due to finding out that Simeon is actively hunting for him but mostly because his friends are unwilling to help him get some boys clothes. Comically the more perverted characters in the series find "Yamada-ko chan" to be irresistible. He and his crew are currently trying to help an oppressed community find freedom from a Simeon Needless called Hatfield. But doing so put him close to Aruka again, and he was forced to dress up like her to trick Hatfield's army of cyborgs. It is shown that he does indeed have a fragment called "Ultima", that allows the user to create and control light (such as absorbing the one from the environment) to create energy for attack and defense. This would make him a Needless along the rest of the group. Cruz had his right arm dislocated when fighting against Hatfield when he mocks Cruz about his admiration towards his sister. Afterwards Blade mysteriously reappeared right in front of him but, due to being mistaken as a girl by him, Cruz had to act cute to get his help.
First part is taking from that statement. Taking into why Aruka could not attack because of some unknown reason (since the manga does not use the term "him" and just says something stopped her. It could be out of fear, like when one senses the possibility of danger to ones life.)

Secondly is it not true The Second was dead long before Cruz came along? I mean Blade was just a kid when the second was just a torso in a tube.... and Blade was the 79th attempt at the cloning and it has been shown it takes long periods of time for each clone to be ready for Eden Cell injection, so The Second could and would have most likely been their for many years. Just taking the age difference of Cruz and Blade into account would more than likely seem rational for their to be 99% no connection between The Second and him. Unless you think of the possibilities that while The Second was alive he would have had some child that would have been the father/mother of Cruz, than their could be a link to it all.

Thirdly, it is fairly sound in theory I think
