Description
Edward Falcon is the central protagonist of the Power Stone anime series, a young adventurer whose life changes dramatically after receiving a mysterious gift from his missing father. Hailing from a prestigious family in the town of Londo, Falcon is a 21-year-old with short blonde hair, often seen wearing a classic red pilot's uniform with goggles resting on his head, an outfit that reflects his identity as a skilled aviator who pilots his beloved airplane, the Hockenheim. His fighting style is loosely based on boxing, relying on sharp, explosive punches and acrobatic kicks, which he uses to vanquish evil with a strong sense of justice.
In terms of personality, Falcon is generally regarded as a well-mannered and gentlemanly individual, though he can also be a bit of a flirt and is known to be somewhat cocky. Initially, he shows little interest in the ancient legends of the Power Stones, even asking his butler, Apollus, to return the stone his father sent him. However, after the stone activates and grants him incredible power during a fight with pirates, his curiosity is piqued, and he is convinced to embark on a journey to find his father, Pride Falcon, and learn the truth about the Power Stones.
His primary motivation throughout the anime is to locate his father and understand the purpose of the Power Stones. Early in the series, Falcon is also a great admirer of the world champion fighter Valgas, dreaming of one day facing him in the ring. This admiration becomes a key part of his character arc, as he initially refuses to believe that his hero could be involved in sinister activities. The search for his father and the truth about the stones takes him across several fantastical lands, including Sun Land, Wood Land, and Fire Land. He is also challenged early on by the wandering samurai Ryoma, who possesses his own Power Stone and seeks a worthy rival.
Falcon's key relationships drive much of the anime's plot. He develops a one-sided romantic crush on Rouge, a female adventurer, though she seems to show more interest in Ryoma. Complicating matters further, he is the object of affection for other female characters, including the ninja Ayame and a girl named Cassie, who was arranged as a date by his mother. Despite these romantic entanglements, Falcon remains focused on his quest. He forms a strong friendship with Wang-Tang, a cook and martial artist, who helps him learn to better control his powers. His relationship with his father, Pride Falcon, is a central goal of his journey, and his bond with his loyal butler, Apollus, provides him with steadfast support.
Throughout the series, Falcon undergoes significant development. He starts as a reluctant hero who is dismissive of the legends but grows into a courageous fighter dedicated to stopping evil. The most notable part of his development is his confrontation with Valgas. When he discovers that his hero is actually the mastermind behind the theft of Power Stones and is transformed into a monstrous being called Final Valgas, Falcon must overcome his idolization to do what is right. In the final battle, he transcends his previous limits by summoning the Light Stone, transforming into a new, angelic form called the Light Whirlwind, which is even more powerful than his standard red armored form, the Red Whirlwind. Having defeated Valgas and found his father, Falcon ultimately decides to set off on another adventure around the world, demonstrating his newfound embrace of the adventurer's life.
Falcon's notable abilities are centered on the Power Stones. In his normal state, he is an agile and balanced fighter capable of double jumping and performing powerful boxing combos like the Heavy Cross and Back-flip Kick. By using a Power Stone, he can undergo a Power Change, transforming into the Red Whirlwind. In this form, he gains a red suit of metal armor with a rocket on his back, granting him the ability to fly and unleash devastating missile-based attacks. His signature moves in this form include the Homing Missile, where he fires seeking projectiles from his wrists, the Hurricane Aura, a fiery spiraling uppercut, and the powerful Missile Explosion and Burst Rocket super attacks.
