| Wallpaper Description: |
Spike Spiegel, a fictional bounty hunter, is the main protagonist and tragic hero of the anime and manga series Cowboy Bebop. His fighting style was largely inspired by the martial artist Bruce Lee.
He is a 27-year-old bounty hunter who was born on Mars. In appearance, Spike is tall and thin, but with muscular shoulders. He is attractive, with fluffy dark green hair and reddish-brown eyes, one of which is artificial and lighter than the other. A flashback in Session 6 revealed it was his fully functioning right eye which was surgically replaced by the cybernetic one (although Spike himself may not have conscious recollection of the procedure since he claims to have lost his natural eye in an "accident"). One theory suggests that his natural eye may have been lost during the massacre in which he supposedly died. The purpose of this cybernetic eye is never explicitly stated. He is usually dressed in a blue leisure suit, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III inspired[citation needed] boots. Spike often has a cigarette between his lips that's rarely in good condition, sometimes despite rain or "No Smoking" signs. This is also done in homage of Lupin III,as Lupin's partner, Jigen, smokes cigarettes that are in poor condition.
Spike has many talents and abilities, making him an excellent bounty hunter. He has very sharp eyesight and abnormally acute perception, and is extraordinarily lucky. Spike makes use of sleight-of-hand techniques to win card games, pick pockets, and even to slip things onto other people unnoticed. Where Spike really excels, however, is in combat. He is well versed in weaponry (such as his personal Jericho 941 as well as other guns and explosives) and hand-to-hand combat skills. He follows Jeet Kune Do, the mindset developed by Bruce Lee, though he has a penchant for high kicks of French boxing. Spike is also an excellent pilot, and flies a converted Asteroid racer called Swordfish II which is armed with four machine guns, multiple missile launchers, and a single plasma cannon.
When he's not working or practicing martial arts, Spike is very laid back and lackadaisical, often a source of consternation for his crew mates. Some members of the Bebop crew occasionally refer to him as a "lunkhead" due to his attitude, and generally Spike just takes life as it comes. He also enjoys sleeping and that may tie into his mantra of 'living a dream.'
Spike's philosophy seems to be based on the ancient samurai ideals of immediacy: considering oneself as dead and the idea of death being an awakening from a dream are both elements of bushido illustrated in the Hagakure.
Watanabe has admitted that Spike has a habit of being very indirect with his emotions, for example behaving antagonistically towards someone he actually likes. He says that this could apply to Spike's relationship with Faye.
Another possible hint at Spike's preference of Faye are the similarities between the Julia and Faye, many of which are recounted here.One of which is a scene from the end credits of the show (Spike's flashback), which shows Julia wearing an outfit remarkably similar to Faye's.
Spike is also heard saying that the three things he hates most are kids, animals, and women with attitudes. He asks Jet why all three are on board. |
