Edward's largely absent father, Appledelhi is a wandering Earth cartographer who charts the planet's ever-shifting terrain. So consumed by his mapmaking that he once forgot his own child for years, he crosses paths with the Bebop crew during a chaotic reunion.
Appledelhi is an unmistakably large man, listed at six feet eight inches and well over 450 pounds, towering over Spike in both height and breadth and possibly outsizing Jet as well. A square jaw, thick frame, brown hair, and green eyes round out his look, and whatever his rap sheet exaggerates, his sheer physical presence is real. That bulk carries genuine skill in a fight: he trades blows with Spike almost effortlessly and manages to seize the upper hand.
Every bit as eccentric as his daughter, Appledelhi lives almost entirely inside his own obsession, his thoughts running on a wavelength few around him can follow. He is bright and bursting with energy, yet strangely disconnected from the people in his orbit. He never retains the name of his assistant no matter how many times he is corrected, once abandoned his own child at a daycare, and upon finally seeing Edward again cannot even recall whether she is a son or a daughter before dashing off after his next lead.
Through the 2060s, Appledelhi devotes himself to recording how Earth's landscape keeps reshaping under relentless rock showers, aided by an assistant named Macintire. His daughter Edward is born in 2058, but by 2064 his work swallows him so completely that he leaves her at a daycare and simply forgets her. Years of searching bring him in 2071 to the very orphanage she had drifted into, only to find her already gone; he leaves a holographic image of himself with Sister Clara in case she returns. Two months later, Spike and Jet pursue him over a bounty whose charges Edward had actually fabricated, and the Bebop unexpectedly crashes down right where he stands, piloted by Edward herself. Overjoyed at the reunion, he invites her to travel with him, but the moment collapses when another meteor slams down and he rushes off with Macintire in tow.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
