Space Adventure Cobra (Manga)	comment	Imagine a book about space adventures from The '80s. Make the overall tone a bit Darker and Edgier, slightly increase the amount of naked female body, keep the funny level the same and give the main character an Arm Cannon. Make it all into manga and anime adaptation. Give it an awesome, very Eighties female vocal opening and ending.Here you have it — Space Adventure Cobra. A Space Opera/Science Fantasy manga by Buichi Terasawa published between 1978 and 1984, and later adapted to a feature-length anime film and then an anime TV series. Several new stories were published alongside colored reprints of some previous ones over the following years, and most of those were adapted to an OVA and a second TV series that were released in 2009-2010.Both adaptations were closely watched by Buichi Terasawa and preserved both the plot and style of the original. What is even more awesome, in Cobra the Animation they even recruited the same voice actors in Japan for both Cobra (Nachi Nozawa) and Lady Armaroid (Yoshiko Sakakibara). Preserving the character design helped a lot too.In 2019, there was a Seinen Web Comic sequel named Cobra: Over the Rainbow serialized in Comic Hu magazine and penned by the same Buichi Terasawa himself. Although it was meant as a direct sequel to the original series in order to tie up some loose ends, it went unfinished after six chapters due to Terasawa's passing in 2023.A Rail Shooter video game adaptation, Cobra: The Arcade, was developed and released by Namco in 2005 exclusively for arcades. It is a Time Crisis spinoff and features a card system that allows the player to save their records and earn unlocks. Earlier there had also been Cobra - Kokuryo's Legend and The Space Adventure, two menu-driven adventure games that saw release on the PC Engine. The latter one saw a Western release on the Sega CD.Not to be confused with The Cobra Trilogy, which also involves space adventures.

It works and Crystal Bowie is defeated. However, come later in the Six Heroes arc and the The Psychogun series, Crystal Bowie is revealed to have been repaired and faces Cobra again. The minute Cobra tries the same attack, Crystal Bowie sees it immediately and grabs his arm before it can hit him.

Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_40217655	comment	Faux Action Girl: The bounty hunter Jane is introduced early on as if she's a main heroine for the series, but she barely does anything before she is captured, brainwashed by parasites, and forced to kill her own sister Catherine. In the manga version, she is mortally wounded by a collapsing ceiling in a fight against Cobra and some mooks and soon dies while still brainwashed, without knowing anything. The adaptations barely treat her any better, as she might survive the parasites and fight for a while longer but is still tragically killed (by Crystal Bowie or Hammerbolt Joe depending of the version) and is replaced by her Suspiciously Similar Substitute sister Dominique. Ursula in the "Six Heroes" arc is complimented by the otherwise cruel Crystal Bowie for being a determined female warrior who only lives to fight, and yet she gets so badly overpowered, outwitted and mortally wounded over and over that it's just pitiful. She ends up near-entirely cyborgfied for a Mirror Match against Lady just to get punched senseless into a waterway, never to be seen again.

The failed pilot for an English dub of the series had the entire plot changed. Cobra himself had been changed from a legendary pirate that vanished after declining an offer to join the pirate guild (called "The Dark Side Clan" in the dub) to the leader of a resistance fighting against said Dark Side Clan.

In the anime version, she survives with amnesia and soon reunites with Cobra in the end of the Salamander saga. The film adaptation, however, unambiguously kills her along with Jane and Catherine.

Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_50b1855d	comment	The initial "Royal Sisters"/"Ultimate Weapon" story arc was full of this trope, to the point it lampshades the Spy Fiction genre's fixation with dead naked women when Cobra claims to be James Bond right before he kills a blonde in a sling bikini with a punch to the gut. She kisses him in her dying moments to use her lipstick as a trap and collapses posed like a starfish, with some guards later finding and examining both her corpse and that of her likewise scantily-clad partner that Cobra eletrocuted to death. The only adaptation of this scene that comes off like a subversion is the Cobra The Arcade one, where the blonde horribly explodes into smithereens.

During the Rugball arc, Cobra obtains the medical files of the Opposing Sports Team, positing that Rugball being such a Blood Sport, long-time practitioners naturally have some old injuries that aren't fully healed even by futuristic medical science. Thus he makes his teammates learn the specific weak spots of every opponent; it doesn't insure victory against the champion team, but it definitely gives the underdogs an edge.

Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_53224e46	comment	Bookends: The first story arc of the series begins and ends with Cobra killing a one-eyed woman. Many years later, "Over the Rainbow" began with Cobra killing a brunette woman with forehead marks and was left unfinished with Cobra killing a tentacle monster with a appearance similar to that woman. So, the entire franchise ended up bookending with Cobra killing near identical-looking women.

It was followed by the similarly long but not nearly as impactful "Hell Crusaders" saga with a new cast of supporting characters and antagonists before the manga's original run ended on a short DÃ©nouement arc where Cobra helps a young do-gooder out before riding off into the sunset.

Cobra is rather disturbed by Misty but also can't help but tease her back every so often for laughs. He gives her a "Shut Up" Kiss on the mouth and a plot point is made out of it when he's disguised as an enemy and kisses her again to assure her that she'll be safe.

Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_c16f48aa	type	Monster Misogyny
Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_c16f48aa	comment	Monster Misogyny: Multiple arcs in the series have villains who drug lots and lots of women into becoming their mindless slaves. "The Psychogun" even has one who leaves a group of half-naked women paralyzed in place, posed like statues, via constant neurotoxin injections. Targrave is a grotesque plant-man who injects parasite seeds into women by tongue kissing them. He brainwashes dozens of innocent policewomen and strippers to force them to attack Cobra, who ruthlessly kills all of them in the ensuing chase scene. The "Lightning Planet" story is the one aversion of this trope in the entire series. Cobra infiltrates a museum staffed entirely by women, but there's no gratuitous slaughter of them by either their own robot dinosaurs or Cobra himself, and no villains are involved to kill them either. Cobra just steals the artifact he's looking for and escapes without any harm happening to the hostess-guards at all. The "Care for a Robot?" story involves a bunch of female beekeepers being killed after the bee-like robots they used are hijacked by a murderous A.I. The one woman who Cobra manages to help just gets uncerimoniously crushed by a rock in the following chase scene. In the Black Dragon King arc, a sports teacher tells Cobra that her students, who are all young women, went "swimming" outside the spaceship they are on. Cobra then apathetically points to the girls being devoured by space sharks, saying it's too late to do anything about it. The Hell Crusaders arc features a race of frog-like aliens that kidnap naked damsels to eat their brains. Then there's the Nazi-like Fuhrer Goldman, who decorates his Evil Lair with severed female heads and scantily-clad corpses mounted on the walls because women in that planet have rubies growing out of their heads and he seeks the secret graveyard they are supernaturally drawn to die on. Cobra even calls it the most misogynistic thing ever.

Towards the end of the series, Cobra points out loud how tasteless it is for a villain to use loads of severed female heads and corpses like trophies, and that's before he comes across a harem of half-dead looking sex slaves painted in gold. Sometimes Terasawa got away with drawing women with exposed nipples in the comic by making them aliens with monstrous faces. Early in the "Black Dragon King" arc, an overweight and middle-aged woman in a bikini flirts with Cobra. He's so horrified that he drops his cigar.

In the end, Cobra and Lady talk about how Belbarad is just a ruined and inhospitable ancient resort planet that became the stuff of legends because of the sole remaining "teleportation ticket" leading to it — there never was any treasure, just like there's no such thing as a Blue Rose.

Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_f6c3d469	type	Fanservice Extra
Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_f6c3d469	comment	Fanservice Extra: Several scenes focus on random strippers and other half-naked hostesses while Cobra is wandering or narrating something, even clashing with the mood of certain situations, like him reflecting on how Salamander had both Dominique and Lady assassinated.

Space Adventure Cobra (Manga) / int_f9f2c33	comment	A Running Gag is for Cobra to act like a Pop-Cultured Badass by referencing various series that would have been absolutely ancient by the era he lives in, ranging from James Bond to Popeye and ending with SpongeBob SquarePants in "Over the Rainbow".
