I've heard Spike Spiegel was modelled on Lupin III, and I don't know if that's true or false, but the face and the lanky build of Van resemble Spike IMHO.

spoiler up to episode 6 and for Cowboy Bebop:

I just finished the series two minutes ago.

I take it back. This is heavily influenced by a lot of stuff, from Cowboy Bebop to Quentin Tarentino, but it doesn't stay cheesy.

Up to the first six or seven episodes, it's super cheesy. But it does get serious and it's definitely worth the time.

lol, North America Reference?

But yeah, me and my friends have noticed that Van looks like Spike, mostly 'cause of the hair, or what you can see anyway...

A lanky, bushy-haired cynic with a dark past and a calm, lazy attitude (until said enemy is mentioned).
A busty, short-haired flirty chick with a bit of an attitude that constantly leaves the others, only to keep returning.
A wide-eyed, red-head teen with a sweeter demeanor, in comparison to the others.

Yeah, I can see why there would be Cowboy Bebop character comparisons. lol.

The story does run more along the lines of Kill Bill than anything else, though.

I think Carmen99 should hook up with Spike, and Faye with Van, they'd make some awesome mech-ridin', bounty-huntin' kids

That's for sure, but in GxS you never get to see the killer's face till half way through or so, let alone his name. But they both get their "Soon to be" spouse killed.

How true.



Too bad Gun X Sword doesn't seem to have a Jet Black analogue like the others do (Van/Spike, Carmen/Faye and Wendy/Ed).
