The original manga that Space Adventure Cobra - The Awakening is based on, “Cobra,” was written starting in 1978 by Buichi Terasawa, with the anime series following a few years later in 1982. At the time, it was able to quickly gain a large following thanks to its exciting plot and well-blended mix of mystery, action and sci-fi elements. That said, it seems that much of its popularity can be attributed to its charismatic, cybernetic arm-cannon-wielding main character, Cobra.
