Spike Spiegel, An Iconic Anime Character

Fans can't get enough of the sharp-witted martian bounty hunter, and he remains an indelible figure in the minds of anime watchers to this day.
Excessive Bad-Mannered Attitude
Spike's bad-mannered attitude is undoubtedly one of his greatest attributes. He always speaks his mind bluntly and won't be affected by the pressures of society. He is often found drinking and puffing away on cigarettes, proclaiming, "Livin' well is the best revenge." He is undeniably a lonesome man who frequently plays hard-to-get and is usually among a rugged and mysterious persona. Ultimately his cocky demeanor and carefree attitude make him attractive to fans all around the world.
A Gallant Raven and Bountiful Bounty Hunter
Spike with his Joe-Cool style, is an iconic symbol of rebellion. He is an expert martial artist, street brawler, and pilot of the cool and edgy Swordfish II spaceship. His flair for style is one of his most renowned traits. He’ll often inform people of his accomplishments, "I'm already a shinigami." This is followed with his own cool animation, usually with a sharp overhead slam-dunk to close the conversation. His use of the foul Japanese language and firm dialect make him an enigma amongst other characters.
Fiercely Loyal and Loyal
Despite his carefree attitude, Spike is fiercely loyal and loyal to his (sometimes jocular) partners of the Bebop, Faye Valentine, Jet Black, Ed, and Eurasian wolf, Ein. He is often heated and impulsive, leading him to embark on a solo mission as a bounty hunter. Nonetheless, it is evident that Spike still cherishes his life-long association with the Bebop crew. During crucial missions, only his trustworthy shipmates will join on him his mission. It is his loyalty, his loyalty to his friends which ultimately make him a truly admirable character.
The Cool and Aloof Spike Spiegel
Spike's ultimate iconic symbol is his cool and aloof rejection of society's strictures. He puffs away at his cigarettes with nonchalance and stands up quickly after he's been hurt with a rigid straightness-like he's not going to give in to anyone. He challenges people's authority and lives his life on his own terms. He may be a bit gruff and a bit of an outlaw, but Spike Spiegel never stops to show his loyalty to his mates, his pride as a bounty hunter, and of course his gallant spirit as a truly iconic anime character.
