}}{{Infobox animanga/Footer}}{{nihongo|Cobra|コブラ|Kobura|lead=yes}} is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Buichi Terasawa. Set in the far future, the series tells the story of Cobra, who lives an adventurous life until his enemies begin to hunt him down. Cobra surgically alters his face and erases his own memory to hide from his foes and have a normal life. Eventually, he regains his memories and reunites with his former partner Lady Armaroid. Terasawa devised it as a mix of spaghetti western and samurai stories, and aspects of films, varying from James Bond to Disney.

The manga was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from November 1978 to November 1984. Later, Shueisha collected the chapters and published them in 18 tankōbon volumes. The Cobra manga spawned various sequel manga series, one-shots, a feature-length anime film, two anime series{{mdash}}a 31-episode series in 1982, and a 13-episode series in 2010{{mdash}}, two original video animations (OVAs), audio albums, video games, and other merchandise. In 2010, Alexandre Aja announced the interest in producing a live-action film.

In the United States, portions of the manga were published by Viz Media in 1990 and the complete series was published in Kindle format by Creek & River in 2015. The feature film was licensed by Tara for its release in American theaters and by Manga Entertainment in British theaters in 1995. Urban Vision and Discotek Media released it for home video market, while Madman Entertainment acquired it for the Australasian region's release. The anime series was licensed in the Northern American region by Nozomi Entertainment.

In Japan, the Cobra manga has sold 40 million copies, making it one of Weekly Shōnen Jump{{'}}s best-selling manga series of all time. Publications for manga, anime and other media have compared the series to Star Wars and Barbarella, and the main character's attitude to James Bond. Its film adaptation received mixed reviews, and the original anime series as well as Cobra the Animation has been well received by reviewers.

Plot

In the far future, an office worker named Johnson leads a dull and mundane life. One Sunday morning, his robotic servant Ben suggests that he go to the Trip Movie Corporation{{mdash}}a company that enables its customers to experience a dream as though it were a reality. Johnson asks to be a king of a harem and to command a battlestar.

In his dream, however, Johnson instead becomes "Cobra", an adventurer who explores space with his android partner Lady Armaroid. Cobra wields the Psychogun, a cybernetic arm-laser gun, to fight monsters and the Pirate Guild, an organized crime syndicate of pirates. After a battle with the Guild, Cobra allows its leader Captain Vaiken to escape. Vaiken distributes Cobra's picture to other pirates, making him a wanted man. After the dream ends, Johnson describes the fantasy to an attendant, who is surprised because Johnson's dream should not have any reference to pirates or to Cobra.

On his way back home, Johnson crashes into a speeding car whose driver looks like Captain Vaiken. When Johnson mentions the resemblance, the driver reveals himself as Vaiken. He asks Johnson about "Cobra" and threatens to kill Johnson if he does not answer. Johnson unconsciously lifts his arm and a ray shoots out of his hand, killing Vaiken. The shot explodes Johnson's arm, revealing the Psychogun embedded in it.

Johnson rushes home, where Ben notices the weapon on his arm. Johnson then realizes that he remembers nothing from before the last three years. After looking into a mirror, he finds a knob and turns it to reveal a secret room. There, he finds the revolver which he used in his dream. At that moment, armed intruders break into the house and address him as "Cobra". A battle ensues, and Ben's robot shell breaks to reveal Lady Armaroid, with whom Johnson kills the intruders.

Johnson starts to remember his previous existence as Cobra. Hunted by the Pirate Guild for meddling in their criminal enterprises and tired of life on the run, Cobra surgically altered his face and had his memories erased. Lady Armaroid tells Cobra that the Trip Movie has triggered his subconscious to regain access to the memories of his former life. Cobra and Lady Armadroid resume their adventurous life together.

Characters

  • {{Nihongo4|Cobra|コブラ}} is the main protagonist and eponymous character of the series. Cobra's signature weapon is the Psychogun, which can target putative enemies without having a line-of-sight. Using the Psychogun drains Cobra's mental energy, but his superhuman stamina compensates for it. He also carries a Python 77 Magnum revolver as a backup weapon.[2] Cobra was voiced by Shigeru Matsuzaki in the film adaptation, by Nachi Nozawa in the first anime, and by Naoya Uchida in Cobra the Animation.[3][4][5] Dan Woren voiced him in the Streamline Pictures release, while William Dufris (anonymously credited as John Guerrasio) voiced him in Manga Entertainment version.[6][7][8]

Lady is a top-class Armaroid{{mdash}}a mechanical cyborg{{mdash}}derived from advanced technology recovered from an ancient, lost civilization on Mars. She possesses superhuman strength but does not carry a weapon and is rarely involved in physical combat. When Cobra is away on an adventure, Lady supports Cobra by piloting their spaceship, the Tortuga.[2] In the Manga Entertainment dub, Lady Armaroid is renamed Andromeda.[9] Yoshiko Sakakibara voiced Lady in the film, in the first anime, and in Cobra the Animation.[3][4][5] In the Streamline Pictures release, Joan-Carol O'Connell voiced her, and she was voiced by Tamsin Hollo in the Manga Entertainment dubbing.[7][8]

  • {{Nihongo4|Dominique Royal|ドミニク・ロイヤル|Dominiku Roiyaru}} serves as an officer in the Milky Way patrol. Dominique possesses great strength and co-operates well with Cobra, often looking the other way when her professional duties would require her to arrest him. She hires him to resolve an unpleasant matter of drug trafficking involving the Rugball Federation at the Rand Stadium.[2] In the Manga Entertainment dub, Dominique Royal is renamed Dominique Flower.[9] Dominique was voiced by Jun Fubuki in the film, and by Gara Takashima in the first anime.[3][4] Wendee Lee voiced her in the Streamline Pictures release, while Lorelei King voiced her in Manga Entertainment version.[7][8]
  • {{Nihongo4|Crystal Bowie{{efn|Although the usual transliteration, according to the Hepburn romanization, of "ボーイ" is "Boy", Buichi Terasawa said the character's name is a tribute to English musician David Bowie, and also a play on Bowie knife, due to the shape of his arm.[10]}}|クリスタル・ボーイ|Kurisutaru Bōi}} is Cobra's arch-enemy who regards Cobra as the only man worthy of becoming his adversary. Crystal Bowie is a humanoid cyborg with a golden skeleton and a body made from indestructible, polarizing glass. He works for the Pirate Guild led by Lord Salamander. Crystal Bowie's signature weapon is a claw which he can attach to his right hand. The claw can crush anything, and he also uses it for slitting his victims' throats.

Later, Sandra hounds Cobra and tracks him to the planet on which the Ultimate Weapon is hidden. Sandra was originally ordered to retrieve the Weapon and hand it over to the emissaries of the Guild, but she uses it for her own ends and turns against the Guild until Cobra stops her.[2] In the Manga Entertainment dub, Sandra is renamed Nadia.[9] Sandra was voiced by Reiko Tajima in the film and in the first anime.[3][4] Catherine Battistone voiced her in the Streamline Pictures release, while Lesley Martin voiced her in Manga Entertainment version.[7][8]
  • {{Nihongo4|Lord Salamander|ロード・サラマンダー|Rōdo Saramandā}} is a mysterious, deep-voiced man dressed in samurai armor.

Lord Salamander rarely appears in person but demonstrates a powerful telekinetic ability when he does. He can also teleport, incinerate an enemy by will alone, and make his enemies think they see someone else. He uses this trick and his other powers to dispose of Doug, Pumpkin, and Bud. In the final episode, he is revealed as the spirit of Adolf Hitler, which was revived 3000 years after his defeat.[11] Lord Salamander was voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata in the anime.[12]

Production

Cobra is Buichi Terasawa's debut manga series. Previously he had written and illustrated between twenty and thirty science-fiction shōjo (targeted towards girls) short stories for manga contests held by manga magazines, with one of them earning an honorable mention. Terasawa created Cobra by combining the spaghetti western subgenre and Japanese stories featuring a "wandering swordsman".[53] Terasawa wanted to create a hero who would be able to carry a concealed weapon and then the Psychogun was created before the titular character.[13] His concept of a hero has been greatly influenced by "spaghetti westerns with a James Bond-type spin to them."[53] Also from Bond series came the concept of several women who circulate around Cobra.[57] For Cobra, he also drew inspiration from the French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo and his "phlegmatic style", specifically from his characters on Breathless (1960) and That Man from Rio (1964).[2][14] The then rising actresses Dominique Sanda and Catherine Deneuve also inspired the names of the Royal Sisters.[2]

In general, Terasawa has been influenced by films, including Star Trek, René Laloux's animations,[2] the James Bond film series, Akira Kurosawa's films, and Disney films prior to The Little Mermaid (1989). For example, Jane Fonda's performance in the cult science-fiction film Barbarella (1968) served as a direct model for his character Jane, whose hairstyle was also inspired by Princess Aurora's in the Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty (1959). For his storytelling, panel layout, and narrative pacing in general, he draws influence from manga artist Osamu Tezuka, who mentored him.[15] Terasawa declared, "Without him, ... Cobra would never have existed.[14]

Publication

Written and illustrated by Buichi Terasawa, Cobra was first published in 1977 in Shueisha's Japanese shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump as a one-shot edition.[16] It was later serialized, running from the November 6, 1978 issue to the November 12, 1984 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump,[17] and released under the magazine's Jump Comics line in eighteen tankōbon volumes between August 15, 1979 and August 15, 1985.[18][19] Cobra was re-published from February 10, 1988 to November 10, 1998 in a ten-volume aizōban edition under Jump Comics Deluxe entitled Space Adventure Cobra.[20][21]

The manga series was only partially released in the United States by Viz Communications in 1990 in a series of twelve books.[22] This English-language publication covered the origin story and the Royal Sisters' saga, with dialogue adapted by the American comic book writer Marv Wolfman and published under Viz Communications' Viz Select Comics line.[11] In 2015 Creek & River released the complete manga in the US in a 15-volume full-color Kindle edition.[23] The complete manga was printed in several other countries. In France, the manga was first published by Dynamic Visions,[24] and later reprinted by Taifu Comics.[25] Its first volume was released in the 1990s Brazil by Dealer, being one of the first manga to be published in the country.[26] The manga was also published in Italy by Play Press,[27] in Taiwan by Tong Li, in Hong Kong by Culturecom, and in Thailand by Vibulkij.[24]

Shueisha released Cobra in kanzenban form with the title Space Adventure Cobra: Handy Edition{{mdash}}which included volumes one through ten{{mdash}}from October 19, 2001 to February 4, 2002.[28][29] Shueisha later created three kanzenban magazine series based on the Cobra manga under their Shueisha Jump Remix line. {{Nihongo foot|Irezumi no Onna Hen,|刺青の女編|group=Jp}}, which spanned two volumes, was published on October 7, 2002, and on October 21, 2002; {{Nihongo foot|Rugball Hen|ラグ・ボール編|Ragubōru-hen|group=Jp}}, which spanned two volumes, was published on November 2, 2002, and on November 18, 2002; and {{Nihongo foot|Shido no Megami Hen|シドの女神編|group=Jp}}, which spanned three volumes, was published from June 9, 2003 to July 7, 2003.[30] Media Factory also published Cobra in a kanzenban edition; it was simply called {{Nihongo foot|Cobra Kanzenban|COBRA完全版|group=Jp}}, and spawned twelve volumes released between August 23, 2005, and June 23, 2006.[31][32] Cobra was also sold as an e-book, {{nihongo foot|Space Adventure Cobra: Galaxy Knights|Space Adventure Cobra〜ギャラクシーナイツ|Supēsu Adobenchā Kobura Gyarakushī Naitsu|group=Jp}} for a limited time.[33]

Out of requests, Terasawa announced in February 2016 he would create a new saga for Cobra. He aims to deal with the unsolved plot of the strange resemblance of two female characters—Dominique and Secret.[14]

Sequels and spin-offs

The seinen manga magazine Super Jump published several Cobra sequel or spin-off series. The first was titled {{Nihongo foot|Cobra: Legend of the Holy Knight,|コブラ〜聖なる騎士伝説|Kobura Seinaru Kishi Densetsu|group=Jp}}, which was serialized in 1986 in a special issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump. It was then published in a single tankōbon by Shueisha in 1988 under the magazine's Jump Comics Deluxe line.[33] {{Nihongo foot|Space Adventure Cobra: The Psychogun,|SPACE ADVENTURE COBRA〜ザ・サイコガン|Supēsu Adobenchā Kobura Za Saikogan|group=Jp}} a fully colored "computer graphics" manga, was serialized in Super Jump in 1995.[33] A "computer graphics" sequel called {{Nihongo foot|Space Adventure Cobra: Magic Doll|Space Adventure Cobra〜マジックドール| Supēsu Adobenchā Kobura Majikku Dōru|group=Jp}} was serialized in Super Jump from 2000 to 2002.[33][34] Along with several other series serialized in Super Jump, they were published from 1995 to 2002 in Jump Comics Deluxe under the title Space Adventure Cobra.[33]

Japan later exported this idea to the United States as part of the Super Gobots toyline under the name "Psycho", designed by Murakami Katsushi.[76] In Japan, action figures,[77] T-shirts,[78] kewpie dolls,[79] Cobra's Psychogun and Crystal Bowie's claw replicas,[80][81] stamps,[82] and limited-edition whiskey bottles were sold as merchandise for the series.[83]

Video games

{{main|List of Cobra video games}}

In 1982, Popy Electronics created the hand-held games Space Cobra Professional and Space Cobra the Psychogun.[84][85] It was followed by Cobra: Kokuryū Ō no Densetsu, released in 1989 for the PC Engine, and Cobra 2: Densetsu no Otoko, released for the PC Engine in 1990,[33] which was released in North America and Europe for the Sega CD as The Space Adventure - Cobra: The Legendary Bandit.[86][87]

Reception

Critical response

The English version of Cobra was named as one of "The Top 25 Translated-To-English Manga of All Time" by Wizard magazine.[88] Ivevei Upatkoon of EX online magazine praised it as a "rich fantasy" that was unmatched by any other. She said the main character took "after James Bond, albeit somewhat on the silly side, and the costumes and bizarre worlds are but a shade shy of plagiarizing Barbarella". She was impressed that the series "is surprisingly devoid of the sexual innuendo and exploitation that anime fans have come to associate with decorative female characters"; it avoids the stereotypical, beautiful women, and instead creates its own "extreme" world. Upatkoon also said that modern readers might find the manga dated and would be discouraged from reading it, despite the improvement in artistic quality as the series progresses.[89] Writing for Anime News Network (ANN), Jason Thompson described Cobra as "a significant piece of manga history". Thompson wrote that the women of the series have a "realistic physique and not some moe jailbait or grotesque bakunyu explosion". Thompson deemed Cobra as a parody of both Western action heroes and Star Wars and 1970s shōjo science fiction and its concept of beauty".[90]

Pedro Cortes from Japanator affirmed, "Space Adventure Cobra is interesting in that it takes a shard of an idea from a classic and then spins it out into its own epic." Cortes praised its "charming" designs, while criticized the main character lack of development as "the only negative thing." He added, "There isn't a ton of depth, but the show doesn't pretend to be anything but a fun, sci-fi romp around the galaxy."[91] ANN's Theron Martin praised its "surprisingly solid" art "for a series of its era" and affirmed, "it does stand up well as high-spirited, fun-loving action fare with occasional darker overtones."[92] Chris Beveridge of The Fandom Post said, "It's simple but full of adventure, interesting characters and locations and a sense of fun that definitely makes it work in a very good way" and has "a solid visual design."[93] Washington, in a review for Otaku USA, commended it for being "entertaining overall" and having "an overall fun vibe" because of its "smooth" art; he, however, criticized what he called "serious misogynistic tendencies."[94]

Chris Beveridge from Mania.com praised the Cobra the Animation anime series and its visual design, comparing to The Psychogun ones, but said it is not for those who are unaware the original series. He said the anime has "a healthy dose of action, the kind of sexuality that's a trademark of the series ... as well as a good bit of silly fun".[95] In the second episode review, Beveridge said it "seems to be following much the same kind of pace and structure" as the OVAs.[96] Its animation was compared with the Darkside Blues; ANN's Erin Finnegan said it was a "gritty" animation, but that from episode five, the animation quality looks more modern and much less gritty.[97] Beveridge said the anime's idea is simple, but added it is "also not a show you see often since it doesn't center around teenagers, schools or the harem concept". He said it is not "a great show", but that "it gives us something different than the usual"{{mdash}}the reason it is "enjoyable".[98]

Popularity and legacy

{{double image|right|Luc Besson Cannes 2016.jpg|158|Alexandreaja.jpg|150|Cobra was very popular in France in the 1980s;[90][2] even French directors Luc Besson (left) and Alexandre Aja are fans of the series.[2][179] A Cobra film adaptation is Aja's "dream project".[179]}}Cobra made Terasawa, who at the time was 22 and was little known, famous.[22][99] Approximately 40 million copies of Cobra have been sold, making it one of Weekly Shōnen Jump's best-selling manga series of all time.[100] The anime television series was a major success in France in the 1980s.[90] Le Monde{{'}}s Frédéric Potet said it "marked a whole generation of young viewers",[14] and Joel Metreau of 20 minutes asserted it gained a cult following.[101] Alexandre Aja and Luc Besson are among the French filmmakers that are fans of the series.[101]

Its humorous style and sexual innuendos influenced City Hunter, and Shinichirō Watanabe's works Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy owe their nostalgic appearance and the ironic tone, respectively, to Cobra.[101] Cobra's "provoking look", ironic style and capacity of changing from a little smile to a serious face also inspired video game designer Hideki Kamiya to create the character of Dante from the Devil May Cry series.[102][103]

Thirty years later, Cobra the Animation has been well received by fans; the OVA was among the best-selling for two weeks, and the sixth volume of the anime series was one of the best-selling DVDs for one week.[104][105][106]

Live-action film

In 2008, Buichi Terasawa said he received a Hollywood offer to purchase the rights to a live-action film adaptation of the series. He stated it was "off-the-record", and that if it happened it would be partly standalone and separate from his original manga.[107] However, in 2010, Alexandre Aja announced he had purchased its rights, and that he planned to direct a live-action film adaptation of Cobra.[108][109] Aja was inspired to create this film adaptation because the original manga was one of his childhood favorites.[110] Aja said he wanted to create a "tent pole-sized live action franchise".[111]

In 2011, Aja wrote a script with Gregory Levasseur, and production was held by Aton Soumache and Dimitri Rassom under Onyx Films and Studio 37 with a budget of more than $100 million.[112] Later, a teaser poster depicting promotional concept art for Cobra: The Space Pirate, along with a release date scheduled for mid-2013, was unveiled.[113] In September 2013, however, Aja admitted that making the film will be "very hard" since "to do a new kind of Star Wars, [is] expensive" though he stated "we are trying everything, we will make it."[114] In July 2014, Aja revealed it was estimated that the project would require a budget of over $150 million and that he was seeking to have an A-list actor to help attract a funder.[115] One of his main difficulties, Aja said in 2015, was to decide who would star the film: "When I think 'who the heck is going to play that Cobra?', I become unable to move forward."[116]

In a June 2016 interview, Aja said he did not abandon it and that "The project is well advanced".[117] Working with the Orange Studio and a group of twenty concept artists, Aja was able "to develop an absolutely huge universe in visual research".[117] One of the drawbacks that made him slow the process was the release of Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014, because Aja had to change several aspects of Cobra to differentiate it.[117][118] In June 2017, he revealed the script was ready, but commented that another drawback is the big budget required for the film, which finds no funders in the US because the franchise is relatively unknown there.[119] In April 2018, Aja revealed the film was in preproduction at Lionsgate until a regime change occurred; the company's new staff considered the film budget (US$130 million) to be high and the release of The Force Awakens was also a factor on the cancellation.[120]
