By revealing his original syndicate name as Fearless, Cowboy Bebop further explored the history of Spike and his bygone friendship with his greatest enemy. In a more literal sense, the name might have referred to a Penguin, a swimming bird that is typically monogamous, referencing Spike’s undying love for Julia. Swimming Bird might have also been a reference to Spike Spiegel’s use of Jeet Kun Do, whose flowing moves are likened to water. As the name implies, Spike was going against his nature by running from both Julia and his mob enforcer past. Spike also went by another alias in the original Cowboy Bebop anime: “ Swimming Bird.” Spike was referred to as such by his friend and ally, Laughing Bull, and the name had several potential meanings. Whether or not Spike Spiegel was his real name before he became a mobster, Spike’s abandonment of the Fearless moniker further assisted him in starting his life anew.

Spike and Vicious’ friendship broke down when Spike fell in love with Vicious’ girlfriend, Julia.
