One of the most timeless anime’s ever 🙌🏽
Spike is such a good character, I'd say this show is an absolute classic

Why u here
When you are in so many CZcams vids sections people say "First" on your comments:
This man everywhere
Preach, brother.
His cool and carefree attitude hid both his badass fighting skills but also trauma. The ending he got was unnervingly ambiguous but also fitting given his past and status as a bounty hunter and ex criminal.
It's really not ambiguous. The song that plays after Spike leaves the Bebop is a pledge of undying love for Julia. The lyrics state that he will love her even when he is dead and allude to them being together again in the afterlife. Before Spike dies, he sees Julia with his eye that sees his present. She is glowing in white. Then Spike is engulfed in a white heavenly light. All series long Spike is shown seeing Julia with only his eye that sees his past, yet it is foreshadowed in Jupiter Jazz that he will see her with his eye that sees his present. He does.
We are also given visual cues that Vincent, Julia, Vicious and Spike's souls have ascended immediately after their deaths. The song that plays at the end is literally a song about Spike's soul ascending to heaven. At the end of the credits we see Spike's star go out. It never falls. Laughing Bull said a falling star is "A pitiful soul who could not find his way to the lofty realm. Where the great spirit awaits us all." After a death, the soul ascends to the heavens and those who could not find their way fall back down to earth as shooting stars. Spike made his way to the great spirit. He is with Julia now.
Like the tiger striped cat, Spike followed his love in death and never returned. Both were able to break free from the cycle of death and rebirth. In Buddhism, breaking free from death and rebirth is a soul's ultimate goal. It is the ultimate release from suffering.
I really miss Spike
"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 of them 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."
“I hate that story. You know I don’t like cats”.
the show has such beautiful comparisons and metaphors
I hate that story poor kitty
I personally think that when Spike said "bang" before he died it signified him killing his past, as his left eye was closed
How about twice
@Raman 556 I never said anything about him being dead, its symbolism representing that his life is complete because he forgot the past before he died
@Raman 556 well, Schrödinger's Spike.
I think the bang represents him coming to terms with dying.
@Raman 556 He didn't have to, the narrative declared him dead.
Love his charisma
Ha I remember u making wooden guns n shit nice u like cowboy bebop my homie in that got sent into prison put me on this show 🤣
Lol
@@crackergaming3840 lmao
You didn’t mention when Spike got beat up by a clown who was afraid of a cat.
a pretty badass clown that can fly and is bulletproof…. but yea 😂
He wasn't a clown he was the strongest character in the show...
I know I made an amv in that fight tho I wanna re do it now
lol yeah, the mad pierro guy see a cat and be like: ITS THE END OF DA WORLD
lol that episode was sorta creepy at the end, when the crown is crying and then the giant animatronic just steps on him..... that was weird
i prefer to believe that spike actually died at the end, finally finding peace in dead and joining julia in the afterlife
What if there is a sequel ?
That's literally what happened.

@@somebunny2619 possibly it's for the better

Spike: Years ago, back when I was much younger, I was afraid of nothing. I had not the slightest fear of death. I was ready to die anytime. But then I met a special woman. She made me want to go on living. For the first time, I was afraid of death. A feeling I’d never had before.
Elektra: Where is she now?
Spike: She went away.
I started this show to just ... have it watched, I guess.
But when Ed decided to leave the Bebop and Ein joins her, I cried a little. I cried more, when Faye tried to stop Spike from going and Jet standing alone in this living room kinda thing at the Bebop.
But when the end screen was done and this last message appeared with "You're gonna carry that weight" I totaly lost it 😭
The end always had a sentence that made it sadder lol :'(
Steve Blum still deserves praise from this show from the 90s and so many countless roles. The lines in this show still stick with me.
“Just a humble bounty hunter ma’am”
Best anime ever. The 90s were just so good.
"He may or may not be dead, but we definitely gave every indication that hes dead" like get outta here 😂
Alternate title: "The story of the tiger-striped cat, but with more detail"
One of animes most badass characters
i hav watched countless things in my life and this i believe is the most phenomenal show ive ever seen. every time i watch it it just hit different like it grows with you, i could rant about it all day but see u later space cowboy
I feel the same way!
Spike's song to Julia that plays near the end:
"Everything is already over",
You say with closed ears
The words only flow
Towards a tomorrow without peace
"There's nothing that won't change"
Even if my life ends
This love will not disappear
It's something that will live forever
Even if dreams are hidden in darkness
I got a rainbow
Rainbow in your hands...
I always believed that Faye had romantic feelings for Spike...because...damn. She made me sad with her last conversation with him.
i feel like that too. I feel like after she found out about her past, she really cared about everyone ed, jet and spike. Also, I feel like she push her own feelings aside for the sake of spike and the rest.
The ending of BeBop wouldnt be nearly as epic or meaningful if Spike didnt die on that day.
Lol nope. Only Death can give meaning to the show's final glory or legacy is not necessarily true. It doesn't matter whether spike is drad or alive. Atleast he killed his past as he says he always wanted to.
Cowboy Bebop is such a legendary show with such a great protagonist. Just wish the show continued, and hopefully that the Netflix real life adaptation doesn’t ruin it or hope that it isn’t true
from the present, they kinda did ruin it.
@@ninjabastard whats so bad about it? I havent watched it yet but from the trailers, it doesnt look like its as bad as the death note live adaptation
@@tybotomusrex870 It’s not as bad but it’s also not good either. If the original was a stylish Sci Fi Noir with subtle powerful storytelling Bopflix is a Sci Fi B-Movie Comedy with writing about as subtle as your average Marvel movie.
@@tylerjames805 Ah ok that makes sense. So basically trying to appease the community rather than the og fanbase
Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bepop
are absolute masterpieces
Spike is just taking a long rest.
That's what ill ALWAYS believe, damn is that sky so blue tho.
He's with Julia now.
N543576 - I agree and disagree yes he's sleeping but in between worlds talking to Julia contemplation weather or not he should really continue on to the afterlife
He's dead, yo. Let him be dead.
I watched this anime as a kid and never really know the real story. In my country, local tv channels air anime like naruto, cowboy bebop, galaxy angels, card captor sakura, etc. every 4pm-6pm exact time where us kids from middle school just got home or are on their way home. Such good memories and times were simpler back then.
Feels like ur prefering to philippines
@@MrHello-rm6zq ur correct lol
Same
cool T.T
Very well made video! Cowboy Bebop is such an incredible series, and I truly believe the story of Spike, Jet, Faye, and Edward is one of the greatest works of fiction every written.
I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time !
I've been requesting this for so long and was happy to see it when I clicked on the channel.
The director of this anime knows how to use music in anime to create a strong atmosphere which draws you in completely. Cowboy bebop, samurai Champloo and space dandy are my top favorite animes of all time (All the same Director). Many 90s and early 2000s anime titles were absolutely amazing aswell. Such a shame the current state of studio ghibli films. Also very saddened with the state of anime in general. We shall never see 💎 like these anime series ever again.
"Whatever happens, happens."
His ship at the start of the show is the Swordfish. Spike loses this ship in session 19, Wild Horses. His ship in every episode after that (including the movie) is the Swordfish II.
Wow, great work putting this together 🙌🏼
I have been waiting for this for so long
Spike is such a badass character
rewatching the series for a 3rd time. good timing on this video
I've never realized just how much Spike's focus had always been Julia, and how much the last few episodes focused on Spike's eagerness to find her. I only felt like Spike's love was genuine in and out. Maybe its because Julia wasn't the focus all along to the viewer (😅 oops), but Spike himself. Alive or dead, the ending is bittersweet. Spike finally let go of the past and saw his future by doing what Jet mentioned men do before they die: think of the past to see if they were really living. Spike saw he was truly alive in those last few frames of him left, but as himself and not focusing what's now the past, Julia.
The bebop crew always felt like a family, I like to think Faye stayed on the bebop and lived with Jet. I love their characters so much, they really did feel like a family, especially Faye and Jet!! 😭💔
Nope. Spike walks away from Faye and Jet without a second glance. He never thinks about them again. The song that plays after Spike leaves the Bebop is about how he will love Julia even when he is dead (and how he will be with her in the after life). He finally sees Julia as his present 40 seconds before he dies, something that was foreshadowed since mid-season. Also, Julia was devoted to Spike, chose him over herself, was willing to die for him, and did.
"Everything is already over",
You say with closed ears
The words only flow
Towards a tomorrow without peace
"There's nothing that won't change"
Even if my life ends
This love will not disappear
It's something that will live forever
Even if dreams are hidden in darkness

Julia sacrifices everything for Spike, spends three years being hunted so he can live. I nEvEr SaW tHeIr ReLaTiOnShIp As A StRoNg OnE.
@@BB-qs7rl I only said so because I didn't feel like Julia's side was as strong as Spike's. But that could because she isn't really a main character.
@@buniuniuni Seems like you might need a rewatch. She was always thinking of him the whole time.
*Gren:* I get it now, you’re the one. You’re Spike. Julia was always talking about you. Your eyes are different colors. I remember her saying that. Said you get a strange feeling if you keep looking straight into his eyes.
*Spike:* Where’d you meet her? Where was she?
*Gren:* Right on the corner bar stool. She’d slip in when I wasn’t looking. She asked me to play the same song every time she came in. Strange lilting tune. And then she would smile. Oh, what a smile. So sad. So beautiful.
@@BB-qs7rl thank you!
I have been an amagi fan since 50k subs and it's crazy how it's growing
Excellent debrief!
Best anime character no cap
Wassup Mr. Spiegel, I'm a big fan
No takip
Goddamn spike himself!
i requested this along time ago thank you
You doing my boy Spike now that's awesome.
The Great Pretender has a lot of similar vibes of Cowboy Bebop and all around an amazing a beautiful anime. (You should check it out and review the main character next is what I'm trying to say.) :)))
This series is awesome. I wish I could've experienced it very sooner.
After the last scene of the live action iv'e been having countless nightmares. The utter pain.
@1:54 expected a poetry slam along the lines of while vicious is ambitious, capricious, and all too malicious.
beautiful video thanks
I just finished the series and...
I had to carry that weight
😢 same.....
Us brother us!
YESS!!!!!!!! DO THE WHOLE CREW!!!!!!!!!!!
Epic as can be ending!!!
for those of you that don’t know the director of cowboy bebop didn’t really announce what happened to spike so he said you make up your own ending, whether if that may be spike just being unconscious and he comes back to jet or he dies. I personally see him as dead because it only makes sense.
I love ur vids
Cowboy bebop spike is always gonna be Legend he's in GANGSTA PARADISE RIGHT NOW
“Whatever Happens,Happens” Spike Spiegel
Btw my fav anime and fav character I insta click
Anything Wantanabe does is gold. Carole and Tuesday is really cool too. Not as intense as Bebop or Samurai Champloo but still fun.
I personally perfer spike actually lived in the end and finally "kills his past" and "frees his miserable soul" which he always wanted to do.
The writer gave us the choice to believe either spike died or lived, and i know many people want to belive that he died because it would end spike's life and the show perfectly, but i believe that now he finally has peers, even if he lives on by chance, he still has chilled and comfy way of life to go on. Finally free of dreadful past and misery which he always wished.
Also, the last line "You are gonna carry that weight" might also mean that we as watcher have to overweight our mind with thoughts of overthinking whether he's dead or alive.
The best classic there is 😌😌😌
Which characters should we cover next?
Kirby from Kirby right back at ya
Coyote Starrk.

Cowboy Bebop is such a beautiful anime. The quality is ridiculous. You don't find that level quality in anime these days. All hand drawn.
Can't wait to see EIN's video!
Everyone gansta when Spike brings out his cigarette
You are the Best CZcamsr
This show needs a season 2
I love the show, but not sure if I really want a season 2
One of my favorite characters
Happy birthday to you Spike🎉🎁🎂🎊
the fact that there was supposed to be an episode 27 where Spike is alive and gets back to the bebop ship :,,(
REALLY?
Well he’s not ACTUALLY dead
Cap
@@nyflow Watanabe and his Team planned it but they left it out you can look it up on the Cowboy Bebop iceberg CZcams Video
Nah, he's with Julia now and does not wish to return.
Absolute W No one could ever out spike Spike 😆
Nice 👍
Cool work, can you make a video on the life of Faye Valentine
Looks like he intended him to be dead at the time, but now it's all over wants to hold open the possibility of going back
Babe wake up, new amagi video
Best part of the show is when Ed's dad started weaving all of Spike's attacks then headbutts the shit out of spike.
Best lines
Haven’t saw the show so long I didn’t know how deep the season(?) is I only saw the show only adult swim when I was in high school ‘til I was in my early 20s (31 now) it was my favorite show ever in anime shows of adult swim
I probably wacht that show 7 times our more lol , waiting a few year to do it again .
I cried myself to sleep when spike died, my dad watched it 34 years ago and he still cries
34 years ago? It came out in 98 lol
❤
Can we get a part two of this with more content? There's so much good content in Bebop.
I never realized how young Spike is. I thought he was in his mid 30s
I was his age a bit ago now I'm not anymore
"You're going to carry that weight...."
LEGENDARY SPIKE I LOVE BEBOP, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO, TERROR IN RESONANCE AND KIDS ON THE SLOPE
Fire 🔥
Steve Blum and Cowboy Bebop 🔥
One of the best anime ever!
We stan spike in this house
All time favorite
Best anime ever
I hope they bring back this show or at least some of the characters in the show.
You should do Yuma from World Trigger
This shit broke my heart
One 1 of my favorite cartoon show
Classiic
These anime always love to dream even in Cowboybebop the Movie starring Vincent Vilaju
Please dont hurt me again i cried enough when i first watched cowboy bebop
Now I want someone like Spike to love me 😩😩❤️
You're gonna carry that weight
So you want street thug? There’s plenty of those in your local jail or inner city!
Only in anime does that person exist
My Goat🐐
24 years later and people like me are still discovering this beautiful story.. Cowboy Bebop
Do Radical Edward next
Do Mitchiko next❤️
love bebop so much, you should do Mugen from samurai champloo next :)
I think the mystery around his childhood is kind of necessary for the emotion of the show so i think if they made a prequel i think it should be spike as a bounty hunter a little while before he meets jet.
"Bang"
See you space cowboy
You gotta Yusuke Yuremeshi now
I prefer Spike being dead at the very end because... it's just one of those things... that's "perfect." Not everything story needs to go on forever. Cowboy Bebop, the way it ended, was tasteful.
Agreed. Perfect end to Cowboy Bebop. I loved Samurai Champloo but the ending didn’t feel well written/executed compared to Bebop, almost rushed
