Who is radical edward

The full interview is worth a read for anyone curious about the direction of the live-action series. Cowboy Bebop is shaping up to be a different kind of anime adaptation than the ones we have seen from Netflix so far. John Cho also recently spoke about taking on the role of Spike, including acknowledging the questions some might have about his age.

Matt T. You can reach him lawoftd. Cowboy Bebop. Netflix series won't try and 'ape' the anime. Otherwise, you should close this page and view another page. She is an elite net-diver from Earth, hacker "Radical Edward" is a very strange, somewhat androgynous, teenage girl assumed to be around 13 years in age.

She has a feral aspect reflected in her mannerisms, bare feet, strange postures and gangling walk. She is voiced by Aoi Tada in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Melissa Fahn in the English version of the anime. Ed is a skinny, copper-colored teenage girl with tufts of bright red hair.

She is drawn with red cheek marks to accentuate her youth. Edward wears a loose sleeveless white T-shirt, tight bicycle shorts, and she is barefoot. Once she attempted to wear socks in Mushroom Samba but she immediately lost her balance, suggesting she may have never even worn shoes.

She permanently wears a pair of large green goggles on her head or dangling from her neck. The goggles hook up to her computer and allow her to "net dive". Her somewhat androgynous appearance often causes her to be mistaken for a boy.

Ed has displayed many unusual character traits that are common of a teenager, eccentric genius and a wild animal. She is a free spirit that sometimes shows emotion by growling or howling like a dog. This may actually be the other reason Ed was excluded from the main cast: the showrunners were unable to reimagine Ed to fit the new show and still stay true to the core of the character. Compared to the adult characters, Ed's individual storyline does not thrive on tragedy.

At best, Ed was separated from her father at some point and wandered into an orphanage for food prior to joining the Bebop. Bu that's the extent of her tragic circumstances.

Given that Ed's storyline is not likely to add to the overarching storyline for the Netflix series, it makes sense she would most likely appear as a one-off character or whenever her computer hacking skills are needed.
