Girls : Boys friendship doesn't exist Boys friendship :

He never lived until he met her

See you space Cowboy

Marlowe: i even lost my cat…

That final laugh they shared is so unbelievably haunting.

This fuckin scene bro…. The acceptance that spike is walking to his death. It will always hit the same

Jet is the man! One of my favorite scenes in the whole show.

Jet rubbed his head with his metal arm. The arm that is dead and is part of his past. What an amazing touch.

The fact that this is the last time we ever see Jet is really…I don’t know…

My favorite part about this scene is when Spike started to talk, Jett immediately stopped smoking and listened. Its such a small thing but shows so much care, understanding, sadness, and respect to a friend he knew was leaving at that point.

That cat's name? Antonio Banderas

Right

Rip my boi spike idk why he didn’t run off with Julia and Faye just let you go is just crazy in the end he lost his life

It’s come full circle for Spike. He knew death was calling his name.

People say white cat is Julia, but there is one thing I don’t understand. Spike says striped cat met with white cat after he became a stray. However, didn’t Spike and Julia know each other from the syndicate, before Spike became a stray?

After all this years Still carrying the weight

Fun fact: that cat was Garfield

Well, for firts time, USA has made the perfect cast of voices for cowboy bebop.

After that time the tiger stripped cat couldn't get back up

Julia ain't dead

Spike said his left eye sees the past, while his right eye sees the present. What Spike could never see was a future for himself. When Julia was going to leave the syndicate to run away with him, he had a future, but when she didn't show up at the meeting place, that future they had together slipped away. Ever since then, Spike was in a holding pattern, caught between the life with the syndicate he left behind and the life with Julia he couldn't have. He couldn't go back to the syndicate because Vicious would kill him and he couldn't be with Julia because she was gone. So he drifted, not living either of those two lives, but being dead. He never had a future aboard the Bebop, which is the saddest thing about it, despite team Bebop's efforts to eek out a living as bounty hunters they could never earn more than the minimum to survive. Laughing Bull talks about being able to see the past, present, and future conjoined. Having that unity of being able to see the past and the future at the same time is what Spike means when he talks about wanting to see if he's really alive. It was more than being grieved that a future with the woman he loved was impossible, but the realization that Spike could never have a future at all- never have a real life outside of the syndicate- that drove him to one last showdown with Vicious. That's when he's finally awake.

"They say hunger is the best spice"

Story of my lifev

Julia breaks her long silence and tries to contact Spike, who drops everything to find her, the only woman who can complete this hollow man. -Cowboy Bebop Anime Guide, Book 6, Page 28

Correct me if I’m wrong, is Spike insinuating that he hates himself? Or just that he doesn’t like cats and I’m reading too much into it?

I wish me and my best friend had a last talk like this .where we could come to conclusions for all our problems. but we didn't. And now I'm left wondering. Rip bro. Ty for showing be all these cool animes

😢

The following dialog made men cry

The fact that this is on 240p makes it better.

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 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

The boisterous, bone deep laughter of men, hiding their pain. Projecting strength. How many laugh like this.

There's only one correct way to watch Cowboy Bebop. With English dubs.

I like how spike doesn’t really need to get into detail on the situation and jet understands whats about to happen it really shows how much there friendship means to each other and how much they understand each other

This is how I imagine my pawns chilling together in Rimworld.

Compared to the first episode, the plate actually has beef this time.

Now that I think about It, jet covered his face with his arm Because he drops a tear, maybe I think.

Jet knew from that story spike wasn't coming back. Sad

I love that big laugh they have at the end. They were really enjoying their last moment together

1:33 best laugh

The star that faded away and disappeared at the end of the the series credits. Says it all spike star fell he’s dead and now your gonna carry that weight 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Still Hits deep.

What bothers me about the story is, that you don't just become a stray cat. You don't just become free. You have to confront your past, to set yourself free. That's the whole point of CB, isn't it?

This show is so profound.

Jet knows the end is coming. So all he can do is make their last moments together good ones, sharing a few laughs.

It's sad. I think that's the first time Spike has ever genuinely laughed on the show. And the last time, too.

This scene got me even more than the last scene of the show…..there’s no doubt in my mind that both of them know that in all likelihood this is the last time they will ever see each other….yet they share such a bond they don’t even need to address it and can sit back and share one last genuine laugh before it’s all over…..just damn. Brilliant writing and storytelling, I get choked up thinking about it.

1:24 is really heartbreaking if you put in context. imagine being jet, knowing that spike will do anything just to avenge his girl. and this would be the final laugh you two would share.

Rewatching this and just realizing how much the live action series butchered all of this makes me happy Netflix had some sense for once and canceled it. I do feel bad for the actor that played Spike though, he seemed to be the only one that actually cared about the original story.
