When Fei didn't keep Spike in the end, I thought he was a strange and stubborn person. He didn't need to go to Julia, and he didn't need to go to Bishops for a duel. He could just follow the crew and continue to play casually. Ride through space, live peacefully on bounties, and maybe Ed and Ain will come back. Why did he have to go to Bishops to settle it?
But I didn't understand him until the end when he smiled and made the "bang" gesture.
With one eye looking at the past and the other eye looking at the present, what is in front of you is not necessarily real. Spike is a warrior bound by the past, and what he sees is not his shipmates, but Julia and Bishas, a woman who killed him once, and an old enemy who has accompanied him for life.
When I read Jin Yong's works when I was a child, I sometimes felt that the knights in it did things without logic, and I could have escaped the rivers and lakes, but I had to fall into them. But you and I are not knights, so how can you understand their starting point? Most people choose to reconcile with the past in order to move forward. This is a kind of wisdom in the world, but Spike chooses to face the past and fall with his past. This kind of arrogance and courage is also a man's romance.
After being rescued by the plane, Harry did not look to the future life, but to the snow of Kilimanjaro. "I'm not going to die, but to prove if I'm still alive."
