About Cowboy Bebop.
In the distant 2071, a ship named "BEBOP" swims among the stars of the universe. Spike once said about the things he hated the most: "Fuffy guys, little kids, and arrogant women. But it's all here...".
I think, among the four, the most pitiful is Faye, the most eye-catching is Spike, the most lovable is Edward, and, the most difficult to evaluate, Jet. I have always had a feeling that Spike, Faye, and Edward are actually the same as Ein, like Jet's pets adopted on his boat. When they are hungry, they put on a white apron and cook them a plate of green pepper meat without shredded meat. Si, when they are sleepy, they have a sofa that is not so spacious. When they want to play, let them go out and ride the wind. When they want to go home, BEBOP will open the door for them at any time... Faye said, "In addition to Here, I have nowhere else to go back...".
In a combination of four people who support each other, there must be one person who will play the meticulous mother and one who will play the tough and strong father. On the BEBOP, Jet, who is both a mother and a father, silently supports the BEBOP family. Tolerating Spike's stubborn temper from time to time, lenient to Faye's arrogance and self-willedness that is sometimes strong and sometimes lost, and taking care of Edward's off-line and surly from head to toe, even Ein is like a partner, when he has something to eat, I won't forget the food plate in front of Ein... Jet is a warm and delicate person, even more delicate than Faye, who is a woman. Before the trip, the only thing he asked is to ask Edward to water his cherished plants; Jet is also The strong and forbearing person, for Spike who was going to fight to the death, cooked for him for the last time, looked at Spike's back, and only asked: "Is it for a woman?" "A woman who is already dead can still cook for her. what……". Then there was the sound of Faye's gunshots at Spike's back. At that time, Jet, was it alone, and deeply swallowed this cruelty belonging to an adult...
Just like Jet once asked Edward to water his most important plants, before Spike left, he couldn't let go of Jet, who was unable to move, and recalled Faye, who was missing. Spike's last tenderness, is it lucky or unfortunate for Jet... Whether the people who are left can really get out of the cage set by the people who left. Spike, who has been unable to get rid of the past, doesn't understand, Jet's calm and dignified heart has since added another tombstone, a tombstone engraved with Spike's name.
I thought, how warm it would be if the adult Edward and the old-fashioned Ein met the BEBOP again on the journey after many, many years. It's still the sofa in the living room where everyone sits to eat, it's still Ein's special blue food tray in the corner, it's still Faye, who is careless, proud and stingy, and always missing, and still has a prosthetic arm that looks a little vicious and always repairs and damages them. The Jet of the aircraft, the only thing that has changed is that Spike, who always caused chaos in the world and was always naughty and naughty like a child, is gone...
I think, even if Jet is left alone, he will swallow all the cruelty alone , silently and patiently taking care of the BEBOP home. For Edward and Ein who don't know when they will meet again, for Faye who doesn't know where to go and when to come back, and for Spike, who fought with bullets, just like the windmill that Edward left behind in the bow of the ship , waiting for the floating duckweed-like partners, holding the lamp for their return.
