Very easily

"Edgy" happens when writers rely on certain played out tropes to establish the character as cool instead of giving them real merit.

only children use to term edgy in a comical attempt to appear mature to their peers. mentally grown up people don't give a shit whether or not mihawk or law are your favourite one piece characters

We never get heroes like Kenshiro nowdays. They are always beta male cucks with some sort of complex.

Edgy = Dark Pit, Gladion(Pokemon)

Badass = Auron, Kratos(ToS)

their is a difference.

One tries too hard to sound cool, the other is.

"Edgy" is as much a maturity judgment as it is a content one. It refers to things which claim to tackle serious topics, but then do so in a really shallow, indulgent, exploitative way, which places making a point, as secondary to simply playing up shock value, often misrepresenting those topics, oversimplifying them, and completely lacking the self awareness to recognize or acknowledge when and where they may be fucking up.

Gladion(Pokemon)

Eh, I wouldn't call him edgy because we aren't supposed to take his behavior seriously and it seems to be done in a comical way. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still only past the first trial on the third island)

He seems like a Chuuni,

Which are always over the top for comedy.
I'd say the protagonist from Coloseum fits the description of 'edgy' a little better.
