We appreciate and love you and your content, Sage. All excellent. Thank you, thank you. You're so inspirational and deep. Take care of yourself and keep safe. ❤❤❤
Ed lives in the future, but she's happy and enthusiastic not because it is ideal that we live in the future, it's only because Ed is young and unexposed to the harsh realities of life. Eventually her past will catch up to her as the future starts appearing more gloomy, but that comes with adulthood. I think Jet's way of living is the present is, not necessarily the "best", but the most stable and peaceful. Spike's best moments are when he's living in the present, his most childish when he's thinking of future prospects, and his worst when he's dwelling on the past.
@@greyfox4838 Felt more like Jet was stuck in the past for me, BUT he did eventually learn to move forward after meeting the woman who stopped time for him and getting some form of closure from their encounter. I remember he always kept a momento of her (was it a broken watch?) on him and to signify him finally letting go, he threw it in the water and walked away without looking back. He even mentioned how time had been at a stand-still for him ever since she left.
@@6ixlxrd yes I'm referring to Jet AFTER he threw away that watch into the sea in black dog serenade, that new Jet was firmly in the present, whereas the other characters never reach where Jet reaches
Have you noticed how the characters represent the 4 elements? Spike is like Water Jet is like Earth Faye is like Fire Ed is like Air Spike talks about his fighting style and how it's fluid like water. They call Jet the running rock. Faye lost her memories in a fiery explosion. And Ed gave a paper windmill as a parting gift to the crew. Their personallities and temperaments represent the elements as well.
I’ve contemplated on different meanings within cowboy bebop many times, yet I never made this correlation. Thank you for this. It’s really a testament to the intricacies of these characters and how perfectly they meld
@@goodfella1605 Anyways, writers have been using the elements to craft character personalities and make balanced teams unique and distinct from one another since the dawn of story telling. Especially in the east.
This hits home as a friend of mine just passed away while at college. He was selfless, hilarious, confident, and made everybody he was with smile. These were his genuine characteristics. Just life seems to get comfortable, a stick is thrown in the road. I love your analysis on the meaning of carrying spikes weight. Not only I’m my own past decisions, but to carry the weight of your fallen friends. Carry their ambition. Carry their love. Carry their spirit. Carry their weight.
Actually Watanabe never officially confirmed that Spike died, here's a quote: "I've never officially said that he's died. At this point, I can tell you that I'm not sure if he's alive or dead. I think probably rather than being yelled at for killing Spike, I think ... people are more upset that I might make a continuation."
Yeah, right before the end, Jet talked to the Shaman and he said a star was going to fall and right after the credits rolled, a star fell confirming Spike's death. Well atleast to me.
Jet didn't let his ex's boyfriend go. He turned him in and told him he wouldn't be in prison that long. What he let go of was her, as he accepted closure and moved on.
I’ve been feeling empty lately and just try to feel something so it leads me to try and reconnecting with those from my own past but I get nothing. The things I could remember so clearly are now a jumbled mess, this makes me relate to Faye and Spike because each day I search for reasons to just live but it’s hard when all I think about is my past.
You're currently living in the past moment of reminiscing in the future. Your memories may become muddied but theyll just blend to become something new. Focus on making new memories and appreciating your moments as they come. You can continue giving your future self the gift of fresh memories throughout your life
Same Its already almost a year ago but i still go back to it I stopped sending messages after maybe a month But i just couldn't move on In this meantime i had a couple of relationships going wrong, but they were so easy to deal with and forget about that i really wonder if it's not because of the "major problem" I could say that my past relates a bit more to jet's past, the sudden and unexplained "goodbye"(i mean, she didn't even say anything, just started to ignore me on social media(she moved, but we met two or three months before it) and in a week i realised) Idk what to do about it
Um wow your comment brought tears to my eyes. I'm currently feeling this way and I've just started rewatching Cowboy Bebop again. I'm glad i did. Please feel better when you can.
Spike's story shows the consequences that happen when you try to run from your past. Jet ran, but after some time, came back and confronted it. He didnt let go of his past, he found solace in closure and came to terms with what had happenes. Faye never really ran from what happened. In fact she ran towards it. She too never let go of her own past, but came to be contempt, knowing that what she had could never be recovered and thats something she will just have to live with. But Spike was trying to leave the past behind, only confronting it when it had already appeared in front of him. His avoidance of his past life caused his regrets to grow inside of him. By the time he found the courage to seek it out, Julia was dead. It was Spike's inability to come to terms with what happened that ended up killing him. His story shows that it isnt about letting go of the past and moving on, but instead coming to terms with it and the fact that "you're gonna have to carry that weight" with you, always.
That’s certainly a possible interpretation, but I don’t think it’s the most straightforward interpretation of the source material. Instead, I think something more tragic is implied. Spike DIDN’T let go of his past, as is often referred to by his mentions of seeing the past in one eye and running off without consideration for the Bebop’s crew whenever Julia or Vicious were mentioned, but I also don’t think that we can accuse Spike of running from his past either. Rather, it seems like he jumped at every opportunity to confront the ghosts of his past: Vicious and Julia. Spike’s problem is that he is prevented from moving on by both his love for Julia and also the threat of Vicious, who is actively hunting him to kill him, even when others assumed him dead. Spike can’t directly confront his past either - because Vicious doesn’t exactly play fair. Vicious is protected by the Syndicate, and he never attacks Spike without backup. He also can’t confront Julia because she too is in hiding. So Spike doesn’t really have any choice but to live this dream that he can’t wake up from: a life apart from the realest and therefore most important love he’s ever known, yet one that’s unable to end. I do agree with your conclusion that Spike dies because he can’t let go of the past. His attack on the Syndicate is practically suicidal and his dialogue give us indications that he’s totally ready to die. Whether that’s right or wrong, who can say? Spike did a moral thing in risking his like to kill Vicious. Vicious would have never stopped coming after the Bebop crew and would have been a cruel leader of the Syndicate. Spike’s direct attack was probably his best chance. It’s not clear to me at all that he really had any other choice. Maybe he could have asked Jet and Faye for help, but… that’s just not his style to ask his friends to put their lives on the line for his past life of crime.
The final sentence made me shed a tear. I kinda wish I didn’t have to carry “certain weights” but y’all are right. It’s true . We really do gotta carry that weight as much as it sucks.
You make me feel slightly less alone, i cant even start on how much your videos helped my soul heal, thanks to you found Guardian of Words, the ost for that movie ended up being the soundtrack to the greatest moments in my life, learning to play the piece took me months and playing that to my gf at the time was.. magical. I am so alone right now, and depressed, i know its not really shocking anymore but i do feel very empty right now, i dont know if id ever feel what i used to feel watching your videos but either way, thank you, thank you so much for caring, for uploading, for loving and opening up to us, i want to believe that i will find my koy again, but its been rough for me lately Edit-if this comment doesnt make sense its bcs i wrote a longer one and deleted it by mistake, so these are just some random thoughts befors i go to bed, i just wanted to thank you for everything, its not likely that our paths will ever cross, but know that if i ever get stupid succesful you will have a big part in it, and ill find a way to return a favor, just know that there is soneone out there who is less broken thanks to the art you make.
Personally I think “you’re gonna carry this weight” is meant to be a remind to the crew and the audience of Spike and everything he represents his flaws and strengths he’s a man stuck in the past and with the realization of this his found purpose is to help others get unstuck or move on he succeeded with the crew and passed on his experience to the viewers that’s also why I think he dies at the end his work is done he can rest and move on himself
Beautiful analysis Sage. Cowboy Bebop thrives because of its diverse set of characters and the emphasis placed on each of their internal conflicts. The fantastic musical score used also helps us empathize with these characters and understand their emotions.
You're gonna carry that weight is also a reference to the Beatles, a sing which they said was about the sadness of things ending and how they know after this last album its all gonna be over and they can't go back to how it was - so it echoes the shows sentiment perfectly
Only 3 shows across my 18 years of life have made me get choked up. The ending for Adventure Time, a show that was very nostalgic for me; Mr.Robot, i related quite a lot to Elliot in the beginning and saw him evolve, suffer and finally managed through all that to come out on top. “This only works if you let go too.” ; And this show, through all these people’s loneliness and suffering, they finally try to do something about it just to suffer even more so that they can finally move on, spike’s death really got to me. It’s the mark of a great show if it can hit you like that.
Sage's rain you already hit 103 k and now you're on your road to 1 million like this could happen.if it happens I will not be surprised cuz you are amazing
Sage's Rain No problem! I feel like all your videos always end really strongly with good insights and analysis, but sometimes in the earlier stages of the video you summarize a little too much. I’ m assuming most of the people who watch your videos have already seen the source material you discuss, so sometimes the summarizing feels unnecessary. It’s really cool that you responded to me. It means a lot.
no matter how many of these deep dive bebop videos i watch i always get something new out of each one. everyone presents their personal journey with this show and all bring something a little different to the table. for example, til now i havent heard anyone that was sure about where ed went when she left. i always thought she probably went looking for her father, but you saying she decided she didnt belong with bebop OR her father makes more sense to me. i think most people, including myself, relate to this show so much is because they see a little bit of themselves in each of the bebop crew. i see my yearn for spontaneity and adventure in Ed. i see my selfish disdain for other people in Faye. I see the weight of my past and the lessons I try to teach others in Spike. in Jet i see the happiness i find in simply living in the present and being happy to not let my past weigh me down.
The Piano Piece that's playing while you detail Faye's past.. i remember it from the episode where she sees THAT tape.. hearing it again, brought me to tears, just remembering her pain, of seeings such a thing, but not being capable of even slightly remembering a single bit of it.. :( Well done with this video. Did you just recently watch the show.. or? wow, if so, how did you manage with avoiding spoilers? I hope you enjoyed it.
I saw you were gonna make this video the day I finished Cowboy Bebop. I hated the show at first. It felt so misled and all the characters felt strange. However, after I finished the show I pulled it all together and understand the impact that the characters have on people. Anyone can relate to someone in this show. It's a true classic 💚💚
Just finished the series and came back to watch this video, as promised a long time ago. The message at the end actually added some weight to me, and I kinda like that I think. Because what is death worth, if you cannot put weight against it? Sage, thank you so much for your content. I bet you are an amazing person and I am glad to catch one glimpse of you through this medium. I'm also gonna take a lesson from this and write my mother a letter tomorrow. I never wanted to part from her, but she pushed me away 7years ago. It always hurts me when I think of her, but that's the thing: I am hurting myself by holding on to how she was. She is in the past now, I will accept that and forgive... I think myself? Why swim against the current if you can go with it? I am accepting that life without her is still life, and that's okay. Whether she wants me or not, I'll just go my own way and if we ever cross paths, I'll just spread my arms for a hug. Thank you, the rain clears the mind.
Glad people still keeping this classic anime alive and good interpretations on these characters that changed our lives, also spike reminds me of vash and Wolfwood; also is it me or when you rewatch cowboy bebop you gain a new perspective on things and the feelings come rushing back towards you.
Definitely my favorite analysis of the show, I was never really able to break down Cowboy Bebop’s message/ meaning to my friends in a proper way but this video does it perfectly.
I watched Cowboy Bebop at the lowest point of my life. That was a year ago and I’m just starting to come to terms with who I was. All of those experiences made me who I am. They hurt me deeply but made me who I am. I carry that weight .
The beauty of cowboy bebop is that its almost entirely made up of the past, all of the characters inevitably return to that exact past, even when trying to stay away from before hand. This is what makes the show up too, with little plot aside from what I just described makes it seem like it wouldn’t be that great of a show, but it is, its art, it is so beautiful because these backgrounds are so different and emotionally compelling, and after the middle point of the show, you can feel the shift in emotions in characters as they run back into this past, and this makes the shows beauty. Cowboy bebop is a bunch of gifts tied together with emotions and a webbing of story, it’s an amazing experience.
Love cowboy Bebop when I first watched this series it was very confusing.. But later I realized the concept and loved it .... We all gonna carry that weight... Bang👉
Where I grew up, other than DBZ and One piece the only other show that aired was CBebop and let me tell you, this show thought me running away from problems isn't gonna solve anything and It helped throughout my teens!! great show 10/10 would recommend!!
To me that final line ties the narrative in a bow. The entire show is about your past, your trauma and how it effects you. I think the end moral of the story to me is that no matter how well or how poorly you carry it, we all carry that weight of our past. And no matter how you choose to move forward, you’ll always move forward carrying that weight.
-I just got finishing cowboy bebop and man I really loved it and the journey every character had. -Spike - “oh well...whatever happens, happens” 🚬 -Until next time space cowboy 🚀
I had such a deja vu moment right now. It feels like I have watched this video, the same comments, sage's voice, the visuals everything. But it feels like something I watched years ago but it was uploaded today.
I enjoyed Beepoo and now starting Samurai Champloo. For me Beepoo didn't live up to the hype, but definitely left it's mark because of the different characters and touching music. Some platinum episodes indeed.
It makes the most sense thematically that Spike is dead, yet somewhere deep down I still have hope that Jet and Faye went after him, fought off Vicious' goons, and fixed him up in the Bebop and they're still out there going going on adventures and are finally all moving on...
Ugh why is this one of your most unwatched video. This video made me watch cowboy bebop last year. You didn’t have as many subs but your tone and content as always been amazing. Especially for the wonderful piece of art.
This a beautiful summary of a masterpiece of the storytelling art. I never much liked Anime, but the story carried me along and the art never got in the way. See you cowgirl, and cowboy, somewhere, somehow.
I'll give you 2 big reasons why! I made a video about Spike Spiegel's origins. I created my channel just a month back, so it would be great if you could watch it and share your feedback. Thanks, and sorry for spamming.
Canon lyrics written in Julia’s POV: Don't care for me, don't cry Let's say goodbye, Adieu. It's time to say goodbye, I know that in time It will just fade away Canon lyrics written in Spike’s POV: Love never dies Love never fails Love never, ever fades away
Personally, the show has always been pretentious for me BUT I agree it's a well told tale. The fact that Spike has had only one working eye the entire time is such a great metaphor for how he sees the world. He literally has one eye blinded by the past. Now *_THAT_* was good.
I fucking started watching cowboy bebop 10 min ago what a fucking coincidence I'm almost 16 so thought why don't watch an old anime then this video come and I was like I can't explained
For me honestly, Ed was my least favorite character. She was so annoying, only got good during Hard Luck Woman. One of my least favorite aspects of the show.

I think Cowboy Bebop is an excellent way that shows how the Past effects our future. The entire show is a image to our fascination with the Past. Be that in its old western, nior Asthetic. Or the complexity of the characters. To me the Bebop is a place of limbo. A place lost souls journey too before they can move on. The past can hold a lot of power over us. It's import to recognize the present.
Day 2 of reminding Sage's rain that we love him and he makes great content

Not great content. Beautiful content
Faye lives in the past
Jet lives in the present
Ed lives in the future
Spike lives in all three, tormented by some, and never accepting others
Ed lives in the future, but she's happy and enthusiastic not because it is ideal that we live in the future, it's only because Ed is young and unexposed to the harsh realities of life.

I honestly don’t understand why you don’t have at least a million subscribers.. thought provoking content. Thank you my man.

no matter how many of these deep dive bebop videos i watch i always get something new out of each one. everyone presents their personal journey with this show and all bring something a little different to the table. for example, til now i havent heard anyone that was sure about where ed went when she left. i always thought she probably went looking for her father, but you saying she decided she didnt belong with bebop OR her father makes more sense to me.
i think most people, including myself, relate to this show so much is because they see a little bit of themselves in each of the bebop crew. i see my yearn for spontaneity and adventure in Ed. i see my selfish disdain for other people in Faye. I see the weight of my past and the lessons I try to teach others in Spike. in Jet i see the happiness i find in simply living in the present and being happy to not let my past weigh me down.
you are indeed a great content maker! i just discovered this channel and am going to binge watch:)
The Piano Piece that's playing while you detail Faye's past.. i remember it from the episode where she sees THAT tape.. hearing it again, brought me to tears, just remembering her pain, of seeings such a thing, but not being capable of even slightly remembering a single bit of it.. :( Well done with this video. Did you just recently watch the show.. or? wow, if so, how did you manage with avoiding spoilers? I hope you enjoyed it.
I saw you were gonna make this video the day I finished Cowboy Bebop. I hated the show at first. It felt so misled and all the characters felt strange. However, after I finished the show I pulled it all together and understand the impact that the characters have on people. Anyone can relate to someone in this show. It's a true classic 💚💚
Just finished the series and came back to watch this video, as promised a long time ago.
The message at the end actually added some weight to me, and I kinda like that I think.
Because what is death worth, if you cannot put weight against it?
Sage, thank you so much for your content. I bet you are an amazing person and I am glad to catch one glimpse of you through this medium.
I'm also gonna take a lesson from this and write my mother a letter tomorrow. I never wanted to part from her, but she pushed me away 7years ago. It always hurts me when I think of her, but that's the thing: I am hurting myself by holding on to how she was. She is in the past now, I will accept that and forgive... I think myself? Why swim against the current if you can go with it? I am accepting that life without her is still life, and that's okay. Whether she wants me or not, I'll just go my own way and if we ever cross paths, I'll just spread my arms for a hug.
Thank you, the rain clears the mind.
Glad people still keeping this classic anime alive and good interpretations on these characters that changed our lives, also spike reminds me of vash and Wolfwood; also is it me or when you rewatch cowboy bebop you gain a new perspective on things and the feelings come rushing back towards you.
What... how... I’m rewatching cowboy and you coming out with this makes it 10x better
this show changed my life. I still remember watching it on adult swim when it finally aired in the United states.
Cowboy Bebop is something I relax to while I'm stuck in my head after a long day of emotions and stress.
Sage's Rain uploads and it´s about cowboy bebop... Im in
Definitely my favorite analysis of the show, I was never really able to break down Cowboy Bebop’s message/ meaning to my friends in a proper way but this video does it perfectly.
I watched Cowboy Bebop at the lowest point of my life. That was a year ago and I’m just starting to come to terms with who I was. All of those experiences made me who I am. They hurt me deeply but made me who I am. I carry that weight .
The beauty of cowboy bebop is that its almost entirely made up of the past, all of the characters inevitably return to that exact past, even when trying to stay away from before hand. This is what makes the show up too, with little plot aside from what I just described makes it seem like it wouldn’t be that great of a show, but it is, its art, it is so beautiful because these backgrounds are so different and emotionally compelling, and after the middle point of the show, you can feel the shift in emotions in characters as they run back into this past, and this makes the shows beauty.
Cowboy bebop is a bunch of gifts tied together with emotions and a webbing of story, it’s an amazing experience.
Bro I've never clicked so fast
Would somebody like to give this man a standing fucking Ovation for this video
Love cowboy Bebop when I first watched this series it was very confusing.. But later I realized the concept and loved it .... We all gonna carry that weight... Bang👉
Where I grew up, other than DBZ and One piece the only other show that aired was CBebop and let me tell you, this show thought me running away from problems isn't gonna solve anything and It helped throughout my teens!! great show 10/10 would recommend!!
To me that final line ties the narrative in a bow. The entire show is about your past, your trauma and how it effects you. I think the end moral of the story to me is that no matter how well or how poorly you carry it, we all carry that weight of our past. And no matter how you choose to move forward, you’ll always move forward carrying that weight.
You have succeeded in making me cry throughout the whole video. Thank you.
Been waiting for this video for so long, thank you
The message of Cowboy Bebot is not "forget about it" but "take care of it".
Yes. Literally came here before the notification lol
Great analysis, as always. Love this show, and you perfectly explained why. Watanabe is sucha master 🙌
Thank you!
The english VA of Spike has a tattoo on his arm with the waveform of when he says "bang"
Cowboy Bebop gave me the strength to keep on carrying that weight.
-I just got finishing cowboy bebop and man I really loved it and the journey every character had.
-Spike - “oh well...whatever happens, happens” 🚬
-Until next time space cowboy 🚀
Sage never lets you down. This one is worth 20 minutes.
I had such a deja vu moment right now. It feels like I have watched this video, the same comments, sage's voice, the visuals everything. But it feels like something I watched years ago but it was uploaded today.
Shougun 13 there is @soul Video on cowboy bebop is similar I guess
I wanted you to do something with cowboy Bebop forever
Cowboy Bebop is a timeless masterpiece
Please do wolf rain please
Dude, thank you for all that you do. These videos are everything my man.
This video was really well made. Nice to see bebop pop up in 2020 as well
Sage should be a therapist because all of his videos open my mind in the most subtle ways.
My favorite anime of all time ❤️
Also check out Souls video on Cowboy Bebop, it amazing
how do you make videos about literally everything I love. ur amazing thank u
I enjoyed Beepoo and now starting Samurai Champloo. For me Beepoo didn't live up to the hype, but definitely left it's mark because of the different characters and touching music. Some platinum episodes indeed.
I really wish the directors and actors of the live action would have watched this video.
It makes the most sense thematically that Spike is dead, yet somewhere deep down I still have hope that Jet and Faye went after him, fought off Vicious' goons, and fixed him up in the Bebop and they're still out there going going on adventures and are finally all moving on...
Ugh why is this one of your most unwatched video. This video made me watch cowboy bebop last year. You didn’t have as many subs but your tone and content as always been amazing. Especially for the wonderful piece of art.
This is it.
This a beautiful summary of a masterpiece of the storytelling art. I never much liked Anime, but the story carried me along and the art never got in the way. See you cowgirl, and cowboy, somewhere, somehow.
the madara video is still coming right
Faye reminds me a lot of tsunade from Naruto...
I'll give you 2 big reasons why!
I made a video about Spike Spiegel's origins. I created my channel just a month back, so it would be great if you could watch it and share your feedback. Thanks, and sorry for spamming.
Canon lyrics written in Julia’s POV:
Don't care for me, don't cry
Let's say goodbye, Adieu.
It's time to say goodbye,
I know that in time
It will just fade away
Canon lyrics written in Spike’s POV:
Love never dies
Love never fails
Love never, ever fades away
how many people who won't forget the past?
another beautiful video, dont known how man but your videos allways feel amazing dude keep up the great work
This is true art
Cowboy bebop is a goat!
Personally, the show has always been pretentious for me BUT I agree it's a well told tale.
The fact that Spike has had only one working eye the entire time is such a great metaphor for how he sees the world. He literally has one eye blinded by the past. Now *_THAT_* was good.
I fucking started watching cowboy bebop 10 min ago what a fucking coincidence I'm almost 16 so thought why don't watch an old anime then this video come and I was like I can't explained
I wish it went on like the Simpsons, but it ended tragically like a German story.
I finally subbed after this video, but I’ve admired you a long time ago
Farhan Sanjaya same
Anybody know the music in faye's chapter, i can't find it
Sage, when is madara video coming out?
I wanted more answers because every ending with each character didn't make me feel complete ya know
Spikes just stupid fucking cool and the sound track is godlike
your words bring me to a whole new world but in a good way
Just finished the series. Now I'm feeling nothing but empty ness.
For me honestly, Ed was my least favorite character. She was so annoying, only got good during Hard Luck Woman. One of my least favorite aspects of the show.
God I hate her voice! Thank god I'm not the only one
This is awesome

I think Cowboy Bebop is an excellent way that shows how the Past effects our future.
The entire show is a image to our fascination with the Past. Be that in its old western, nior Asthetic. Or the complexity of the characters.
To me the Bebop is a place of limbo. A place lost souls journey too before they can move on.
The past can hold a lot of power over us. It's import to recognize the present.
so nothing left to be learned but explored instead what a aggravating lifestyle this is im tired
I'm so happy you made a video about this series! I hope you do wolf's rain next.
god damn beautiful work man
Phenomenal video it was spot on w the character analysis and well produced.
haha how great is that? they find a tape player and TV. such a fantastic series.
Definition of timeless is that goddamn space cowboy
