![]() ![]() 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".

After comparing each other's scars, Faye shares how she captured her most dangerous bounty by exploiting a known weakness he had and provided an official receipt of his capture. By the time they settle on a bounty, all of the available bounties have already been captured by other bounty hunters or eliminated.Īfter missing out on the day's bounties, Spike begins to question Faye's competence as a bounty hunter by asking for proof of her previously caught bounties. They attempt to resolve their differences in several ways, including playing different variations of rock-paper-scissors. Faye focuses on capturing the bounties with the biggest payouts, while Spike prefers going after bounties that won't get them killed. ![]() When deciding on which bounties to pursue, Spike and Faye's different priorities come to the surface. It is in this episode where Spike and Faye get to spend the most time with each other and work out their differences in a humorous fashion. By Cowboy Bebop Episode 5, "Dark Side Tango," Jet asks Faye to work with Spike on capturing some bounties while he leaves to take care of some personal business from his past. ![]() Though they didn't capture Maria Murdock, Jet still invites Faye to stay on his ship, finding value in her as a teammate. This renders Faye unconscious for a few days with Spike looking after her in a similar fashion to Faye looking after him in the anime episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels." Spike and Jet are successful in their task but it is Faye who ends up risking her life and ship to sabotage Murdock's final attempt at launching her plan. Spike and Jet track the Swordfish to reunite with Faye at Murdock's location and proceed to sabotage Murdock's plans.
