Julia is Spike's former lover in Netflix's live-action Cowboy Bebop, played by Elena Satine. A soft-spoken singer bound to Vicious, she hardens across the season, scheming against him, seizing the Syndicate in his name, and shooting Spike through a cathedral window at their bitter reunion.
Julia wears her blonde hair long over green eyes, usually in a sleeveless black dress and high heels.
She begins as a demure, soft-spoken woman devoted to Vicious. As events grind on, that devotion curdles into loathing, and she aches to be rid of him and to shed the powerlessness she has carried.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....
