Substitute-The Who- Cowboy Bebop - Samurai Champloo

Spike vs Mugen. This vid basically illustrates my belief that Mugen from Samurai Champloo is a copy of Spike from Cowboy Bebop. I know I'm not the only one w/ this opinion. Anyway,the perfect song for this vid is of course "Substitute" by "The Who"...so..here ya go

You do realize they were created/done by the same person/team, right?

[Xerxes667]

yes i do realize that, but its jut a commentary n the fact that he seems to use the same kind of character in each of his series... either keep making the same series or do something different! I'd rather have more cowboy bebop episodes and no samurai champloo. and whats worse, both in the English and Japanese versions Spike and Mugen are voiced by the same actors.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. Spike and Mugen are NOTHING alike. Spike is nice to most. Mugen isn't. Spike has a goal. Mugen just wants to fight. Spike's a bounty hunter. Mugen is...well I don't know what he is...he's not a samurai I know that. He's a capoeira/samurai/thug hybrid. They are completely different if you open your eyes to see it. Just because they have the same english voice actor doesn't mean they are the same.

I'd like to think that Mugen is Spike's ancestor, rather than copy ^^.

First, they are voiced by two different Japanaese voice actors. The ONLY time where this is done is the English dub. But Steve Blum is awesome anyway. Second, other than somewhat looking alike, I see no similarities. Their personalities differ, as well as strategies, and other than rapid fighting skills, that's where it stops.

Other similarities are on the shows themselves, not the two characters.

@Xerxes667 The creators made Mugen in the image of spike, he's a homage, and in my opinion and better character.

[SpikeJet2736]

Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are done by the same people. Mugen and Jin are Spike divided into 2 people. Mugen's the wild, trouble making side of Spike and Jin's the calm, cool side of Spike. in episode 20 of Cowboy Bebop just look at Spike's reaction when he sees all these people murder and the killer infront of him. He has no reaction, he just stand there like "whatever, I don't care" That's totally how Jin would react.

[tzanegmr]

it would be great if the producer (shinichiro watanabe) would actually make a clip like a bonus on dvd or something where mugen and spike would actually fight each other, after initially recover from the shock that they look alike ! :D
