The ending is good, but it's hard not to be sad

The people of Bebop joined the group to keep warm, and they were alone. The friendship of the bounty hunters is to smoke outside the spaceship together, catch fugitives for the meaty green pepper and shredded meat, and wipe each other's butts (Jet) for each other's (Faye and Spike) troubles, but they don't interfere with each other's past. There is a sense of well-being in the world as they smoke in the shabby Bebop living room together. But an illusion is an illusion after all, and people with knots will inevitably scatter around in the end to follow their own destiny. I really hope that the plot of four people and one dog will continue.

When I watched the plot, I felt that Spike's chicness was too irrelevant, as if he had no ties to the world. When he cared about Jet's hands and helped Faye find the VCR, their relationship really went from a hunter colleague who lived with him to a partner. It's a pity that this tie is too new and too slight compared to the past. Spike told Faye that he didn't want to die, but he didn't want to die. What he wanted was a settlement with the past. Whether in the four-year-long universe drifting daily, he would think that it would be good to continue like this, and he would pay more attention to Faye with an indifferent expression. Possibly, but when the roses and crows of the past come to the door, he must practice his Tao, carry this weight. Can a person who is bound by Tao really be free? I don't want to think about this question for a while, but a Spike who escapes the past and timid is not the cowboy in my heart.

Only poor old father Jet has to guard the empty ship again. Jet is the only one who has completely let go of his past in the show, "holding the secrets of the universe", but unfortunately all the troublemakers are gone, and all he has left is his potted plant. In the end even Ed and Ein left, and when he went to catch the fugitive, who was going to watch his ship? Dilapidated and silent, Bebop inevitably streaks through space like a wandering spirit.

Edward seems to be born with loneliness, she has no mother, her father loves her, but he can leave her at any time for a Foolish Old Man's plan to move mountains, without even finishing talking. Ed chose Bebop because the ship exuded just the right amount of loneliness, neither overly reported nor too cold. Ed is like a dispensable presence on this ship. She is rarely featured in the main plot, but she and Ein, one person and one dog, add various voices to Bebop. Ed's behavior is grotesque, but in all the grotesque stories, she's the only one who's always sober. In hard luck, Ed also found what he was looking for and left, and took Ein with him by the way. The plot didn't tell us what Ed was looking for, but she walked towards the track of a falling comet.

Faye regards the old memories as spiritual sustenance, and watches the video tapes repeatedly, trying to find the clues of the old days, but when he really remembers, he realizes that he is already a ghost of the times. What I said to the old woman in wheelchair before the Sphinx came true. She had found the past, but the past had withered in the days of hibernation. She found her own home and drew a bed position according to memory to lie down and look at the sky. I think that was Faye's most confused and lonely moment in the whole play. She taught Ed to find his roots, and she chased the mystery of her identity from afar, and the mist dissipated, leaving only the wreckage inside. At this time, Faye is the free duckweed in the universe. However, when she wanted to return to Bebop and began to take everyone on Bebop seriously and treat a little bit of affection with Spike, the man pursued the shadows of the past without hesitation, even though he obtained the freedom and liberation he had been seeking. , and it is difficult not to feel melancholy for their parting.

I sincerely wish Faye, the favorite in the whole drama, to find his home again, continue to look to the future with both eyes, and look up at the stars with down-to-earth. Hard luck woman, see you somewhere

Cowboy Bebop quotes

  • Jet Black: I'm Jet Black, 36 years old. I'm often told I don't look 36, but you shouldn't judge people based on appearances... or on how much hair they have.

  • Faye Valentine: Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. We decieve or we are decieved. Thus, we flourish or perish. Nothing good ever happened to me when I trusted others. That is the lesson.
