One of the things I like most about this is that unlike a lot of anime protagonists, Spike is making it up as he goes along. He doesn't have some mega-advanced nuclear psychotic 115-step plan to make it through security and get the whatever. He just like. shows up in a janitor's uniform, gets caught by the first person he sees, and then has to improvise from there. It's very in keeping with the spirit of the show.
okay but props to the animators holy shit…. the detail put into the fluid and swift motions of spike and electras movements are fucking amazing. i truly feel like this is one of the best anime fight scenes, which just goes to show that you dont need flashy lights, powers or characters to make a good fight scene. just smooth animation.
moniker127 I know. I've seen videos of what they're capable of. If they're very highly trained they can drop a guy to the ground and probably kill him in about 10 seconds if they want.
I think Spike's VA was phenomenal. The way he giggles when he pokes or trips up the lady really sells this fight and his personality. Its refreshing to see a fight thats not entirely anime grunts and cliche dialogue.
Blum is my all time favorite but even I will admit that the general quality of voice acting has slowly gone UP over time since the 90s, definitely not down... Yes, it's been a slow climb with many crappy voices in-between, but when you look at the state of voice acting now with Last of Us, Uncharted 4, Bioshock Infinite, etc... Steve Blum is still amazing but other talents are slowly catching up and becoming more widespread. I feel like these days my odds of running into shitty voice acting have lowered to around 50% whereas back in 1998 my odds of running into crappy English voice acting was more like 75-85% chance, if you get me... and hell, even the 3 games I listed don't star Steve Blum as the main character, but he still appeared in ALL 3 as background voices/characters still. The man's still the king for me personally but I don't think the general state of voice acting has gone down since back in the day, more like quite the opposite though we still have a long way to go...
Steve has said that CB was like a stepping stone for him. ''Spike changed everything,'' as he has said regarding his career. He got multiple opportunities in voice work because of this show and it meant a lot to him. He met Mary, voice of Julia, who was in charge of the dubbing process, and they are now dating. He got the sound wave of Spike's last word in the series, ''Bang'' tattooed on his left arm and always signs off of interviews with that word. Also, he has a few Spike pictures in frames in his home office.
For all those complaining about Spike cleaning the wall by sweeping it, It’s actually a quick technique for dusting high lettering plaques from actual Janitors. When you're doing a quick clean through a hallway and a ladder isn't available or necessary, a quick few swipes of your broom dusts the letters just as effectively. Otherwise you get dust build up on top of the names/locations and that doesn't look good for the building's sanitation.

Steps on how to sneak into an enemy territory: 1) Dress up as enemy so they'll think you're one of them. 2) When entering their territory, simply tip your hat and say, "Yo!" and they'll let you right in; no ID needed. 3) ???? 4) If you get caught, run like hell.
The joy on his face. When it’s one-on-one, and he knows he’s met his match, life finally makes sense. It’s the most real Spike can get, and he will accept no substitutes.
He disarmed her immediately, gave her a couple of love taps with the broom handle, was smiling and obviously playful, and she never got a hit on him. She was no where near his match.
Spike always move with a purpose. He is not just a great marshal artist, but a detective (modeled after the famous Japanese actor who played the Japanese detective) and a slight-of-hand pickpocket/magician! Even that coin had a purpose. SPOILER: It was a transmitter!

Steve Blum has that kinda voice that’s impossible not too recognize when you hear it. Spike, Wolverine, Tank Dempsey, Starscream, Sub-Zero, The dude is absolutely phenomenal at voice acting.
+Valkayre If you like mecha, give the new Gundam series, Iron-Blooded Orphans a shot. Streaming on Daisuki and Gundaminfo for free. It's pretty brutal (in a good way).
ShasOFish Steven Blum makes his voice much more gravelly when he does Grunt, I think. This sounds exactly like the voice Jennifer Hale uses in Mass Effect, especially in the Renegade dialogue options.
You could say many match-ups like Guilemon/Grunt/Wolverine/Zabuza Momochi vs FemShep/MvC3 Phoenix/ Injustice Hawkgirl or Killer Frost. That's only a few of the many roles they've done.
Alan Falleur Ahh okay. Still, it's so amazing to see how many characters these two have done, yet Spike and Electra are two of my favorites they voiced.
It's hard for me to watch this scene without a smile, cause both VAs of this fight scene voice two of my favorite characters in the video game Mass Effect: Jennifer Hale (Female Commander Shepard) and Steve Blum (Urdnot Grunt).
Spike really knows how to catch the eyes of a lady. I really enjoy his nonchalant way of fighting which seems effortless to him but he really is doing some very complex movements throughout his scenes where he is in close combat
My favourite part is Electra's kick at 1:29. Spike was lucky to dodge that. He would have been knocked out cold otherwise. A pity she never featured in the series. She's much more badass than Faye.
Notice right before the iconic line Spike's eyes perk up a bit. He is genuinely turned on by a "woman who can kick his..." You know the rest. Also, shout out for showing that level of detail in this interaction.
She warns him by cocking the gun rather than just killing him. He doesn't need the warning; he'd already snapped the broom up. She turns towards the incoming guards, he warns her by telegraphing the strike with the broom. He sprays down the guards, but chooses just to run from her; trusting she won't shoot towards bystanders. Epic show don't tell. Tells us who they are, that they both understand both each other's ethics and the lesser restraint of the guards.
One of the greatest anime fights of all time. It doesn’t have to be Goku vs Jiren to be epic and Cowboy Bebop is proof of that. The art is absolutely amazing, the fights are so different then most shows and flow of combat feels like you’re actually watching two people fist fight. Can’t see stuff like this anywhere else

She warns him by cocking the gun rather than just killing him.
He doesn't need the warning; he'd already snapped the broom up.
She turns towards the incoming guards, he warns her by telegraphing the strike with the broom.
He sprays down the guards, but chooses just to run from her; trusting she won't shoot towards bystanders.
Epic show don't tell. Tells us who they are, that they both understand both each other's ethics and the lesser restraint of the guards.
I fell so in love with that art style
Wish they pull of more like this 🤩
Imagine somebody watching this and being like “Omg it should be live action!”
“Am I really going to defile this grave for money..? Of course I am!”
If only we had a proper animated sequel. One without Spike.
It would feel roughly about the same but the movements wouldnt be as well done and the choreography would be very bad if hollywood makes it.
1:57 - Spike a man of taste
I just love the look of Electra's outfit, the jacket, black clothes with short hair
Classy for a corporate girl
This is Spike at his absolute most Lupin III and I'm all here for it.
Kinda cute how Spike has that lighthearted grin on his face when he fights an easy opponent.
Fighting and flirting at the same time takes skills
I'm with Spike. I'm certainly attracted to women who could snap me in half like a pencil.
Exactly.
The Devil's Anus
haha that was a good one pal 👍
2:40 ooooh that's an ankle buster right there
''The jumpsuit does nothing for you!''
I disagree.
Spike looks surprisingly good in blue. Not to mention it makes the two characters pop out during the fight because of their contrasting colors.
When she broke the broom at 2:04, it sounded like Spike enjoyed that! 🤣👏🏼
One of the greatest anime fights of all time. It doesn’t have to be Goku vs Jiren to be epic and Cowboy Bebop is proof of that. The art is absolutely amazing, the fights are so different then most shows and flow of combat feels like you’re actually watching two people fist fight. Can’t see stuff like this anywhere else
2:10 I have no idea why but Spike saying En Garde reminds of the Tom & Jerry Fencing episode. I was half expecting him to say “Touché, pussycat!”
I think he meant defence! Or something like in old fencing
"I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me"
-GM
1:00 Steve Blum is smooth like butter.
"En Garde!" *shoves a busted broom in her face"
I miss this kind of comedy, lmao
Steve Blum vs. Jennifer Hale. Im in!!!
Ben Wasserman Grunt vs. Female Shepard.
+I fight for my friends. Miranda Lawson: Oh great! Now *I* got to break up a fight this time!
+I fight for my friends. correction commander starscream vs fem shepherd
More like Killer Frost vs Wolverine
Sub Zero vs Kronika
“I love the kind of woman that can kick my ass.” Is a smoother line than the other one
0:34 when your comes around when you’re chilling so you pretend you’re busy working lol
I can watch this over and over and over and over and over again
1:57 truer words have never been said
2:20 this is my kingdom come
Exactly what i thought
"I love a woman that could kick my ass" Lol. Love that queot so much. I also like that kind of woman.
The scene, the dialogue, the VAs, jazz: PERFECTION. 🎉
I like how delighted he was all during the fight.
何十年も前のアニメなのに世界でここまで愛されるってのは最高のキャストとスタッフのおかげなんだな
Damn i wish i was as cool as spike beating mofos all nonchalont hes so cool coolest anime character
The animation is so smooth for an anime at its time.
"I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me"
All we wanted was a Cowboy Bebop.
But Netflix gave us Simpboy Bebop.
Spike just casually mopping a wall, as one does. I wonder how she figured it out?
Now thats what I call a masterpiece on a fight mechanics flow, CGI designers cannot compete to this timeless classic.
Juan Garcia eh
0:04 "Hey! Where's my truck?!"
"Huh? You just drove it out of here, didn't you?"
"WHAT?!"
I never noticed what was so enticing about her character. But it's the choker. Very subtle sexiness
Jazz + fight scenes = perfection
Reminds me of the Sly Raccoon games, those parts when Carmelita tries to catch Sly ^^
Me too.
Lol. I thought I was the only one who made that connection.
