Bebop is a comfort show for me. Even named my cat after Jet. Something about Bebop feels so unlike any other anime. The tone, the characters, the style, the soundtrack, the storytelling. Such a special series, as short as it may be.

He was able to walk away from a past, but when that past came back to haunt him, the thought of a happy ending caused him to go down the rabbit hole, because he wanted to believe he could still make it happen. In a way, Julia's last words could suggest that this is the end of Spike's dream in a sense, that the thought of him ever being with Julia again is now long gone. When he disappeared, he knew she was still alive, so in the back of his mind he held onto that hope that maybe he could achieve that happiness but sadly when he took his chance, Viscous snatched it away from him. It is sad he let the past hold such a tight hold over him when he could of continued to make those new memories with the crew of the Bebop but I think Spike also understood that it's not so much he gave up. He knew that Viscous would continue to chase him, even if he went back to the Bebop crew, Viscous had already shown that he was more than willing to kill Jet and Faye, make them collateral damage. So sure, he could run away but then the past of Viscous would remain. You could say he went down a tragic hero, because it's completely plausible that he wasn't just blinded by revenge in killing Viscous but also as a means to protect those friends he had made on the Bebop. He sacrificed his own life so that he wouldn't hold back Jet and Faye who had carved their own path, while of course they would of welcomed him into the family they had made, I don't think Spike would want to live with the fear that his comrades could become targets of The Syndicate especially with the power grab that Viscous had taken.

Having watched the show many times and knowing most of this information is condensed into single episodes, laying it out chronologically certainly puts some new perspective on it. If someone who has never watched the show watched this video and then the show, they'd likely be very confused by the pacing and non-linear nature of it. Great video.

Only issue I have is that it is never indicated that spike and vicious didn’t get along when they were both in the syndicate. If anything the show indicates the opposite. They got along quite well and were likely even friends . The show also indicates that prior to meeting Julia spike was quite a bit more ruthless and cutthroat. This is part of why vicious is so mad at him. His best friend not only betrayed him by taking his lover but became a completely different person at the same time. “I bled all that kind of blood away”. “THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE??!!!!”

I finished the show for the first time last night. What a masterpiece!! One thing I liked about Bebop was how it doesn’t hold your hand. It tells the story through the music and the visuals. Instead of exposition dumps, there are many quiet and atmospheric moments. However, the cryptic storytelling can leave the viewers a little confused, so your video was very helpful for me.

This is a great breakdown of the show. Well done for covering my favourite (by far) seinen anime. I used to see it as a warning, not to let the past consume your future. The ending harrowed me a lot when I was much younger. Nowadays, I look at this show with a more sympathetic light. Jet's maturity at moving on from his past hurt, and spike using his past to better his future (until it catches up with him) A very reflective tale that crosses boundaries of age, a classic.

I watched it for the first time this year and there was times where I was kind of bored but those times were definitely NOT during the moments where we looked into the characters pasts. Those were the times where it had my full attention. Everyone has there preference when it comes to shows not just anime and although in my opinion it was pretty good just not the best for me I will say i respect it more now and enjoyed the characters when the digging was happening about who they were and who they are and how they dealt with their past. Maybe i will watch it again in the future with this video as a preface. See you Space Cowboy.
