Edens Zero: Rebecca’s Weirdest Habit May Be More Important Than We Thought

Edens Zero is an ongoing sci-fi action anime series starring the B-Cuber heroine Rebecca Bluegarden, the Ether Gear-slinging rogue Shiki and their robotic cat friend Happy. For the most part, Edens Zero is an action/adventure series with fantasy overtimes, like Star Wars, but there's more to it than that.

The series explores a variety of themes in its manga and anime, and that includes Rebecca's fledgling career as a B-Cuber. A typical B-Cuber is a futuristic YouTuber of sorts, but potentially, Rebecca could do much more than make trendy videos on the B-Cube network. She's at the forefront of change in the universe, and this is her chance to document it all in intimate detail.

What Rebecca Can Do As A B-Cuber In Edens Zero

Rebecca Bluegarden is introduced in Edens Zero as an amateur explorer and B-Cuber who has yet to make it big, and her lack of followers and fame is a source of frustration for her. Rebecca's adventure didn't truly begin until she met Shiki on the all-robot planet of Granbell; from that point on, her life became one thrilling experience after another. She visited the world of Norma, which was trapped in the past, and the worlds of Guilst and Sun Jewel, among others. Rebecca had her own ship and could fight with Happy's pistol form, but her best tool is the little cube around her neck, her B-Cube. This is what she really contributes to the team.

Rebecca can record anything with her B-Cube and upload it to the B-Cube network, although at the start of Edens Zero, Rebecca's channel, Aoneko, had very few followers and no notable content. At the time, Rebecca was frustrated and envious of more successful B-Cubers such as Labilia, but soon, Rebecca's potential as a B-Cuber exploded. Unlike Labilia, who makes popular but conventional material, Rebecca has been on breathing adventures worthy of Luke Skywalker or Captain Kirk, and she and her friends aim to meet the fabled Mother beyond the reaches of the Sakura Cosmos.

Not only can Rebecca fight, but she can also create the Sakura Universe's best documentary for the whole universe to see. Rebecca is on the front lines as robots, aliens, pirates and even terrifying Chronophages do battle across the stars, and anyone would love to see content like that.

Countless people could live vicariously through Rebecca and her travel documentary, cheering her on as she explores the universe with an ultimate goal in mind. In theory, the entire Edens Zero anime could have been made as a mockumentary like The Office, or at least show generous amounts of footage that Rebecca shot during her adventures. This would create a selective but intriguing narrative in Edens Zero, emphasizing how social media can make all the difference during an adventure such as Xiaomei's battle tournament or historic moments. It always pays to have a camera on hand.

How B-Cubing Validates Rebecca Bluegarden

Rebecca's career as a B-Cuber helps set her apart from Shiki, Weiss and the rest of her crew, but it's more than just a gimmick for the character. Rebecca takes her B-Cuber career seriously, and it bothers her greatly when more successful B-Cubers such as the mean-spirited Labilia taunt her about her lack of success. Rebecca clearly identifies much more with her B-Cuber work and her image on the B-Cube net than her combat abilities or piloting skills, and her success as a B-Cuber will directly affect her self-esteem and happiness in the story. So far, this has been a liability for her, but that could easily change.

At first, Rebecca felt lousy about her weak career compared to most B-Cubers and her evident lack of expertise, but then again, Rebecca has advantages that Labilia lacks. Rebecca is going on incredible adventures and personally witnessing anything from miner revolts to Chronophages and time-frozen cities, and she alone can deliver this stunning content to the B-Cuber net. That's not only a great way to share this material with eager viewers, but it's also an excellent way to boost Rebecca's self-esteem and cheer her up on her terrifying adventures. She often appears stressed and unhappy during her time in Edens Zero, but becoming a famous documentary maker on the frontier of space should turn that around in a hurry.

As long as it doesn't get to her head, Rebecca can and should cultivate a huge following as a documenter of history. If she meets Mother, for example, any B-Cuber would be in awe, and Rebecca can feel great about her career and herself. Any real-life content creator can relate to Rebecca's burning desire to make it big and feel like a beloved star. If she takes advantage of her incredible adventures, that dream will soon become a reality.
