![]() He is typically found either resting on the couch or reading magazines. When he is not working, Spike is very laid back, sarcastic, and lively to the dismay of his crew mates. ![]() Spike's star sign is Cancer, which fits with his inability to let go of the past. Despite that, he usually encourages others to forget the past as "not important", particularly Faye, who has amnesia for the majority of the series. Following the implant of an artificial eye, he says his left eye, the real one, sees the present while the right synthetic one sees the past, making the past indelible in his mind, not allowing him to get rid of or forget it. One of the recurring themes surrounding Spike's character is how he views himself and his life. However in a conversation with Faye, he admits to not want to die because of "the hate to." He considers he already died once therefore doesn't show the slightest fear of the possibility of being killed, often acts as if to challenge death, so to prove he is still alive. He appears to be tormented by the ghosts of his past and has frequent nightmares of his life in the Red Dragon. He usually behaves phlegmatically and walks slouching almost as if he is sleepwalking. However, there are exceptions in the movie, he becomes very excited when fighting Elektra, saying he loves the kind of woman who can kick his ass. Spike is rarely seen excited about something and, even less frequently, says he likes something. He is also a heavy smoker, being shown with a cigarette in his mouth in practically every shot. In a few rare occasions, he is also seen reading or practicing Jeet Kune Do, a martial arts practice he is very skilled in, being among other things passionate of Bruce Lee films. He passes the vast majority of his time on the Bebop lounging, watching TV, or sleeping. Spike is a slothful, listless, indifferent, and lazy person. ~ Spike and Vicious talk about their similarities ![]() Spike: I've bled all that kind of blood away. The same blood runs through both of us, the blood of a beast that wanders, hunting for the blood of others. Do you have any idea what you look like right at this moment Spike? His outfit consists of an all-blue suit and trousers with a yellow shirt underneath. He is usually dressed in a blue leisure suit, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III inspired boots. A flashback in Session 6 revealed that his 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 dark-green hair and reddish-brown eyes, one real and one artificial. Any space cowboys looking to know more about the disheveled killer hiding a tragic past should read on - as long as you're not concerned about spoilers.Spike is 27 years-old and tall and thin in appearance. While we wait for Netflix to roll out their live-action retelling, we've finally sussed out the backstory of the guarded and cool Spiegel, dating back long before he ever set foot on the Bebop. The legend of Cowboy Bebop has grown substantially since folks heard the first strains of "The Real Folk Blues," and it continues to grow more than 20 years later, a permanent fixture on any list of the best anime of all time. This careful drip of information both maintained Spiegel's air of mystery throughout the short series and rewarded the type of folks who would rewatch it and tell their friends. The way that the show metes out bits and pieces of Spike Spiegel's backstory is similar to the way that researchers learn about the history of genres like hard bop, with information coming in snatches through a careful read of the liner notes until eventually they are overwhelmed when the scope of the larger picture becomes clear.
