    There ones was a tiger striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived and lived a million lives, he was owned by various people who he didn't really care for, The cat wasn't afraid to die. Then one day the cat became a stray cat, which meant that he was free. He meet a beautiful white cat, and the two spent their days together happily. Well, years pass and the white cat grew weak and died of old age. The tiger striped cat cried a million times, and then he died too. Except this time, he didn't come back to life...

      Spike: Years ago, back when I was much younger, I was afraid of nothing. I had not the slightest fear of death. I was ready to die anytime. But then I met a special woman. She made me want to go on living. For the first time, I was afraid of death. A feeling I’d never had before.

    I fell in love with Cowboy Bebop at only 12 years old. As little as I was, this sang to the sadness deep in gash of my own heart. I’m 35 now and I’ve started rewatching it. I still feel the same. The difference is that I now understand what I have mourned all my life: my innocence.

    Few shows evoke the type of "feeling" this one did. UA-camrs have analyzed it to death, which is fine, but there's a certain emotion and weight to the series that transcends description. For many of us, Cowboy Bebop is more than simply what it's about.

    後奏でカウボーイビバップの「本来全話放映されるはずだった」全26話のタイトルを並べるのは鎮魂歌みたいで切ないな。
    カウボーイビバップが放映された年はドラマの暴力シーンを模倣した殺人事件が相次いで暴力描写に対して
    TV局が神経過敏になっていた、そこへ監督がTV東京へ全26話の脚本を持参したが第1話ですらも放映が認められず
    大幅な修正を加えたうえで13話分+総集編の放映が認められた。
    タイミングが悪かったとしか言いようがない悲運のカウボーイだった。

      Never have more true words been spoken! The first time I watched it, I was like, hey that's a pretty good show. But somehow now, months after watching it the first time it drew me back. The music (and I personally LOVE jazz anyways), the atmosphere, the topics, the character discovery. Top notch, it really grows on you over time and you understand better which every time you watch the series and every year you live longer and get more mature...

      I am ukrainian in two years of war who did tonns of things duaring this two years.
      This trinity forged me before war
      This trinity was with me in war
      And now
      I am all of this
      I mean man
      If we talking only about cowboy bepob
      I was so many times in such yolo extra dangerous things, got through so many lethal events to protect people, feed them or even prevent to die
      Man
      I saw bepob in march 2022 inbetween my 24h shifts on seiged city to charge myself with this YOLO things
      And now
      In mid feb 2024
      I cried right now in 18 session where Fay saw her own time capsule video.
      Man
      In war and after what i came and what i will overcome or die in future
      I AM a Wash the Stumpest
      I AM an Edward Elric
      I AM a Spike
      Not sayijg that i feel them or related
      I literally made a moves and choices and faced events and deaths and what makes me understand them all in full
      I cried with dry tears in Fay's video to her future self cos all my tears are gone for literally ten years ago in 2014.
      Man.
      Sorry
      I just decided to see the lirycs of ending song after every year watching marathon
      And now i feel it way stronger
      Mostly because i am not shure that i will live in next month, not saying in next season or year.
      In ten days will be 2 years of full ukrainian-russian war
      And man
      In march 2022 when i worked in hospital in besieged city
      I had no faith to live in april 2022
      And here i am
      Watching all three titles, bepop included third time in war.
      And this time
      Im crying with dry tears.
      On side look it may seems like im laughing in the mid of night.
      Man.
      Or whoewher reading me.
      Dont.
      Want
      To
      Be
      A
      Spike
      Or related to him charachters.
      U can glorify such type
      Like it
      But believe me
      The lad who came through hell and still melting in lesser one
      You don't want to be so empty as spike
      Peace.

    It's kind of a cliche to say that you cried like a baby when you see something very sad, but as a teenager watching "The Real Folk Blues pt 2" I cried like a fully developed human who only recently discovered what sadness was and realized that it would be with them forever more. I was absolutely inconsolable for days after. Great anime.

      Same. It makes rewatching this series hard now because you know what's coming and there shear weight of it just builds the closer you get to the end. This song hits way different before and after watching and it will never hit the same way again after, and that feeling you get knowing that perfectly sums up the show.

    The best and most impactful thing this show has are the feelings of loneliness and the sad truth of the future of humanity in case of interplanetary conquest and immigration (and most importantly, in case of losing Earth)....little interactions with other people, no sense of society or community...most days spent on a space ship in the middle of space, few humans scattered here and there.....Sad Sad Saad. Faye's depression after regaining her memories and Spike's self destructive state after losing his only anchor were the best example of how abnormal such a reality would be.

    We all here are carrying our own weight. And that's all Spike's blame.
    He ain't dead.
    Nah-ah.
    He can't.
    He is just resting. He found peace. Exactly as he said to Faye.

      Endgame Summary
      In Session 1, Laughing Bull foretells of Spike's death being brought on by a woman.
      Laughing Bull: Swimming bird will meet a woman. The bird will be hunted by this woman. And then death.
      Spike: One more time.
      Laughing Bull: What's that?
      Spike: I was killed once before by a woman.
      Spike is speaking of Julia. Losing her love was so painful as to be considered a form of death. He was left in a detached dream-like purgatory from that day on.
      In Session 26, Julia is shot in front of Spike. White doves fly by in slow motion. Horror, shock, and agony are expressed in Spike's left eye. He screams her name, drops his weapon, and runs to her. He takes her in his arms. Hears her last words, which are inaudible to the audience.
      Spike looks down at his lost love and then up to the sky. The camera is now focused on Spike's right eye, which is shaking in a disturbing manner. The camera zooms into Spike's pupil and everything fades to black.
      The next scene is of Laughing Bull predicting Spike's imminent death.
      Holding Julia's coat, Vicious speaks of Spike.
      Vicious: A beast that has lost his place. He has nowhere to return to now. He will come.
      Vicious is both right and wrong. Spike will come, but he does have somewhere to return to one last time.
      Two rose petals are shown blowing away in the wind.
      Spike returns to the Bebop and tells Jet a story. An allegory about his life which he uses to explain why he will never return.
      Spike: There once was a tiger striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived and lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he didn't really care for. The cat wasn't afraid to die. Then one day the cat became a stray cat, which meant he was free. He met a white female cat, and the two of them spent their days together happily. Well, years passed, and the white cat grew weak and died of old age. The tiger striped cat cried a million times, and then he died too. Except this time, he didn't come back to life.
      Jet is keenly aware that Spike's death looms in the horizon. He is wary of the tale's implications.
      When Spike gets up to leave, Jet asks him one last question.
      Jet: Is it for the girl?
      Spike: [beat] She's dead. There's nothing I can do for her now.
      This is true. Julia is dead. There is nothing Spike can do for her. This does not lessen the impact she has on the events that are about to unfold. Jet understands this. Upon hearing of Julia's death, he has a resigned if devastated reaction. He knows exactly what this means for Spike.
      Faye confronts Spike while holding him at gunpoint. She knows that he is marching towards his death.
      Faye: Where are you going? Why, are you going? You told me once, to forget the past, ‘cause it doesn’t matter, but you’re the one still tied to the past, Spike!
      Spike does not deny this. Instead, he explains the truth about his eyes. The camera spans from his left eye to his right eye.
      Spike: Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.
      Faye: Don’t tell me things like that; you’ve never told me anything about yourself, so don’t tell me now!
      Spike: I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was all over.
      This is not the first time Spike has expressed this sentiment. One of his most revelatory quotes was said in the teaser for Ballad of Fallen Angels.
      Spike: The music box is broken, or is it? It starts to play, and a haunting tune fills the air. I wake suddenly from my dream. There is no music box! And yet there it is. A tiny one nestled in my hand. And I awaken from my dream again. As if I were peeling an onion. It’s a dream no matter how far I go. I can never reach reality. Trapped in an endless nightmare.
      Spike is so affected by the loss of the woman he loves that even an item she once possessed haunts him. It is her death that has finally woken him from his detached dream-like state.
      Faye shares with Spike that her memory has returned. She explains that there was nowhere for her to go back to. She pleads with him to stay.
      Spike ignores her please and instead leaves her with these parting words.
      Spike: I’m not going there to die; I’m going to find out if I’m really alive. I have to do it, Faye.
      Faye is not comforted by this statement. The audience should not be comforted either. Spike's words eerily echo what Jet said to him in session 25.
      Jet: Men only think about the past right before their death, as if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive.
      Faye cries and shoots off her gun. An act reminiscent of the 21-gun salute that is used in the military to honor the fallen.
      Spike walks away from Faye without looking back. He is never shown thinking about anyone from the Bebop again.
      The song "See You Space Cowboy" plays as Spike leaves the Bebop.
      "Everything is already over",
      You say with closed ears
      The words only flow
      Towards a tomorrow without peace
      "There's nothing that won't change"
      Even if my life ends
      This love will not disappear
      It's something that will live forever
      Even if dreams are hidden in darkness
      I got a rainbow
      Rainbow in your hands...
      The camera focuses on Spike's left eye. The eye that sees Spike's past. The lyrics begin as Spike is recalling romantic memories of Julia. He thinks of the first time he saw Julia and was captivated by her beauty. He thinks of a time when he made love to Julia and she cradled him in her arms.
      Given that Spike confided to Jet just the previous session that Julia was a part of him, the image shows a moment in Spike's life when he felt whole.
      Spike: She was a piece of me I had lost. She is my other half that I had longed for.
      The song continues to play as Spike attacks the syndicate. It is a ballad of undying love alluding to lovers being reunited in the afterlife.
      When Spike faces off against his hated rival, Vicious makes a proclamation.
      Vicious: So, you're finally awake. I told you before, Spike. I'm the only one who can kill you and set you free.
      Spike does not deny this. But makes a proclamation of his own.
      Spike: Those words apply to you as well, Vicious.
      During their fight, there comes a moment where the two disarm each other by swapping weapons. Vicious getting Spike's gun and Spike getting Vicious's katana. It is at this moment that Spike makes a statement of great significance to both men.
      Spike: Julia passed away. Let's end it all.
      Vicious: If that's your wish.
      The rivals return their weapons. Spike shoots Vicious but gets sliced across the abdomen.
      Vicious's death comes quickly, while Spike lingers as was foreshadowed.
      Vicious: Don't forget, a snake's venom poisons slowly after the bite.
      Spike watches Vicious's body fall to the ground, spends but a few seconds looking at him, then looks up to the night's sky. The camera is focused on Spike's right eye. Now calm.
      Spike sees Julia. This is the first time in the entire series that Spike is shown seeing Julia with his right eye.
      In session 13, during an auditory flashback, Spike and Julia discuss his eyes.
      Spike: My left eye sees the past.
      Julia: What about your right eye?
      We do not hear his response.
      In the penultimate scene of the series, we are specifically shown what Spike sees with his eye that sees his present. He sees her.
      In Spike's vision, Julia is cast in a white light. She says her last words to Spike, this time they are audible to the audience. Spike is shown reflected back in Julia's eye. He glumly concurs with her. Spike is then completely engulfed by a blinding white light. The scene fades to white. This light is reminiscent of the divine light that is cast upon a soul that is ready to ascend to heaven.
      Julia: It's all a dream.
      Spike: Yeah. Just a bad dream.
      From white we transition to the final scene of the series. It is now day. A white light is now cast over the entire syndicate.
      Spike smiles, points a finger gun at the remaining syndicate goons and says "bang".
      This is a callback to Wen from session 6. As Wen was dying he asked Spike if he understood the relief that came with one's own death. In response, Spike threw Wen's harmonica up in the air, pretended to shoot it while saying "bang", but then said "as if". When Spike says "bang" this time he is acknowledging that he now understands that relief.
      Spike falls to the ground. He is never shown moving again. White doves are shown flying over Spike's body. White doves also flew by Julia when she died.
      The camera follows an ascension into the heavens, while the song "Blue" plays. The song's lyrics allude to a soul ascending to heaven.
      Free
      Wanna be free
      Gonna be free
      And move among the stars
      You know, they really aren't so far
      Feels so free
      Gotta know free
      Please
      Don't wake me from the dream
      It's really everything it seems
      I'm so free
      No black and white in the blue
      Everything is clearer now
      Life is just a dream, you know
      That's never-ending
      I'm ascending
      At the end of the credits a star goes out but never falls.
      In session 13, Laughing Bull informs the audience to what a falling star truly is.
      Child: A star just fell from the sky.
      Laughing Bull: That is not an ordinary star, my son. That star is the tear of a warrior. A lost soul who has finished his battles somewhere on this planet.
      Child: What warrior is it?
      Laughing Bull: A pitiful soul who could not find his way to the lofty realm. Where the great spirit awaits us all.
      Given that the star we are shown does not fall, it is reasonable to infer that the soul the star belonged to did make its way to the great spirit that awaits us all.
      That soul has broken away from the cycle of death and rebirth and is never coming back. As was foreshadowed to happen to Spike in the fable of the tiger striped cat, who followed his love into death and never returned.

    How this song embodies the emotion of longing for the abandonment of sorrow; to find some structure for solace; how from occupation, human relations, and the causal laws brings chaos and peace; how our dreams haunt us with love, despair, and tranquility. The enigma of hope, how it flows through us all, to where we either are strengthened by it or burdened by it. To see if we are living, or dreaming; caught by the inescapable beauty of perception, long through the infinite existence of all.

    I remember the opening to Cowboy Bebop because, when I was a kid whenever it came on I knew it was bedtime. So I never actually sat down and went through an entire episode of the show before today. I decided a long time ago I wouldn't watch CB due to being majorly spoiled a few years ago. Today I decided I would watch the first two episodes and I got to the end of episode 1 and heard this and it was instant nostalgia, except I never heard this before.
    It has this haunting sound that reminds me of those nights where I did stay up to watch other shows like Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho on Adult Swim. I love this.

      Yeah, I've tried to convince my niece to watch it in its entirety but she said she got around 1/3 of the way through and just got bored..... I dunno maybe its an age thing coz I always thought it was an odd show as a kid watching episodes out of order whenever it happened to be on adult swim, and it was only when I got older and watch it in full was i able to appreciate it for the masterpiece it is. She still likes the series but likes samurai Champloo more.

    Cowboy Bebop is one of the only shows that I can truly consider "an experience." And not in the overused way most people use that word.

    You're allowed to dislike anime. Hell, you're entitled to dislike Cowboy Bebop. (your opinion is shit, but you're entitled to it.)
    But you cannot sit there and in good faith say that this series wasn't an actual, literal 10/10. This is the height of it's art form, and is genuinely one of the highest forms of art humans have produced.

      Those who dislike anime just for the sake of it, are missing out on a lot of stuff. I mean yeah 80% of anime is garbage, but gems like this do exists and are 100 times better than hollywood.

      Jerome Bryant Jr. Honestly I’m glad he died, I’m not saying that I hate Spike. I just think that this shows not all animes have to have like 20 seasons to have a good ending.
