So I think it's good to let people use their imaginations." Faye Valentine Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese) Wendee Lee (English) Portrayed by: Daniella Pineda įaye Valentine ( フェイ・ヴァレンタイン, Fei Varentain) is one of the members of the bounty hunting crew in the anime series Cowboy Bebop. In the past, people watching my shows have come up with better ideas than my original intention for the story. If I say something in an interview that tends to make it official so I try to avoid a definite answer. Just because I put something there does not mean they have to believe it. In a May 2013 interview, director Shinichiro Watanabe stated "I want the audience to interpret it however they want to.
Spike does go from seeing his beloved and recently departed Julia with his left eye, the eye that sees his past to seeing her with his right eye, the eye that sees his present. In the final episode, Spike kills Vicious and collapses afterward, but his fate after the battle has never been officially confirmed. He is also a talented pilot in his personal fighter, the Swordfish II, a modified racer. The purpose of this cybernetic eye is never explicitly stated, though it apparently gives him exceptional hand–eye coordination – particularly with firearms (Spike's gun of choice is a Jericho 941, as seen throughout the series). As said by Spike himself in the last episode, his right eye "only sees the present" and his left eye "only sees the past". A recurring device throughout the entire show is a closeup on Spike's fully natural left eye before dissolving to a flashback of his life as part of the syndicate. He is usually dressed in a blue lounge suit, black skinny tie, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III-inspired boots.Ī flashback in Session 6 revealed that his apparently fully functioning right eye was surgically replaced by a 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"). He has fluffy, blackish green hair (inspired by Yūsaku Matsuda's role as Shunsaku Kudō in Tantei Monogatari) and reddish brown eyes, one of which is artificial and lighter than the other. The inspiration for Spike's martial arts is found in Bruce Lee, who uses the style of Jeet Kune Do as depicted in Session 8, "Waltz for Venus". He is often depicted with a cavalier attitude, but occasionally shows signs of compassion when dealing with strangers. Spike has a history of violent activity, seen through flashbacks and dialogue with the Red Dragon Syndicate. Spike Spiegel ( スパイク・スピーゲル, Supaiku Supīgeru) is a tall, lean, and slightly muscular 27-year-old bounty hunter born on Mars.

Although it ended in the death of Spike and Julia, Spike received the closure he always wanted, setting Faye free to pursue the truth of her past that she'd long desired.Main article: Spike Spiegel Voiced by: Kōichi Yamadera (Japanese) Steve Blum (English) Portrayed by: John Cho Besides, both were aware that their individual life paths would eventually lead them out of the Bebop, and anything that might prevent them from achieving what they've been working for would be a waste. Even if they did have any feelings for each other, they would take them to their grave. Faye not only reminds him of Julia, but also of the bitter reality of their separation.Ī common theme in Cowboy Bebop is hiding one's true self, and Spike and Faye are no exception. There is a stark contrast in how he treats Julia and Faye, as they are the women in his life who take care of him. In fact, a major reason why he was so harsh to Faye was because she reminded him so much of her. Faye absolutely might have had romantic feelings, but Spike was too caught up in his past to see anything but a hindrance in his longing for Julia.
