OVA
Description
Peeping Spider is a supporting character in the anime New Cutey Honey. He is introduced as a loyal assistant and subordinate of Dolmeck, a criminal lord who attempts to take control of Cosplay City. During the early episodes of the series, he is almost always seen at Dolmeck's side, carrying out orders and serving as one of his dependable minions.
His appearance reflects his name and his role as a spy. He wears decorative robotic spider legs and an electronic trinocular scope, and these tools grant him a variety of abilities. He can use stealth technology to move unseen, see through objects, and sense spacetime disturbances. He is also able to trap people in strong webs and use his goggles to analyze and gather information about his opponents. In the third episode, he fights Honey Kisaragi directly and uses his goggles to learn that she is an android, a secret he later reveals to others.
In terms of personality, Peeping Spider is cowardly and has a whiny voice, which makes him somewhat grating to be around. Despite this, he remains loyal to Dolmeck throughout the early part of the story, and his motivation centers on serving his master and avoiding danger. He is also a notorious pervert and is not above exploiting his abilities to spy on beautiful women, a trait that fits the series' comedic tone.
His role in the story is primarily that of a villainous underling who supports Dolmeck's schemes. His most significant action is kidnapping Chokkei Hayami and sending him to Dolmeck's airship, an event that draws Honey and the Hayami family into their final confrontation with Dolmeck. After Dolmeck's defeat, Peeping Spider undergoes a notable development. He returns in the final episode, where he begins helping Honey and her friends. They capture him and use his technologies to defeat a teleporting gold thief, marking his shift from an antagonist to a reluctant ally of the heroes.
His key relationships are with Dolmeck, whom he serves faithfully, and with Honey Kisaragi, whom he initially opposes but eventually assists. His interactions with the Hayami family, particularly the kidnapping of Chokkei, are central to his place in the story. Overall, Peeping Spider is a cowardly, perverse, and comedic character whose loyalty and abilities make him useful first to his villainous master and later to the protagonists.
