Immodestly billed as "the work which becomes [a] new genre itself", Cowboy Bebop (originally broadcast between April 1998 and March 1999 in Japan) is a Space Western/Film Noir anime series consisting of 26 episodes (and one movie). The series was created and produced by Sunrise and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe.In the Used Future of the 2070s, humanity has spread across the Solar System using "Hyperspace Gates" after a horrific accident devastated Earth — and wherever humanity goes, so goes its criminal element. To compensate for the increase in jurisdiction, The Space Police re-instate the bounty system of the Wild West: if a bounty hunter catches a bounty alive and delivers them to the cops, the cops pay out whatever the bounty is worth.The series focuses on the misadventures of a ragtag group of five struggling to make a living as bounty hunters in the space-age frontier: Jet Black, a former police officer and owner of the spaceship Bebop; his partner Spike Spiegel, a martial artist on the run from a bloody past; Femme Fatale and Con Artist Faye Valentine, who is both more and somehow less than she appears; teen genius hacker girl Edward Wong Hau Pepelu "Ed" Tivrusky IV; and Ein, a genetically-engineered Welsh Corgi "data dog". The Bebop's crew faces dangerous criminals, occasional starvation, their own Dark and Troubled Pasts, and a particularly disgusting refrigerator over the course of the series. Searching for high payout bounties or stumbling across criminal conspiracies, their adventures span any given planet or moon and the culture that has developed from it.As the title suggests, Bebop frequently evokes both Westerns and Film Noir, though the single biggest influence on the look and feel of the series comes from '80s and early '90s Heroic Bloodshed action movies directed by John Woo (e.g. A Better Tomorrow and The Killer). Lupin III also serves as a visible influence, as the main trio comes off like a futuristic version of Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko. However, underneath the sci-fi and action flick surface lies an overall plotline influenced mainly by the Yakuza genre.Further stylistic trademarks of Bebop include the thematic choice to give everything a rich backstory yet explain almost nothing in full, as the show's stories concern themselves mostly with the events of the present and, in many cases, only imply histories as a result. A primary aspect of the show's essence is its music, composed by Yoko Kanno and her backing band the Seatbelts, creating a soundtrack generally rooted in jazz but defying categorization in taking from many other genres. The soundtrack exists not as a mere afterthought, but as the backbone to nearly everything else about the series; numerous scenes eschew dialogue entirely and rely on music to carry the experience, and Kanno and her band even improvised some tracks to finished footage at the moment of recording.[adult swim] chose Bebop as the first anime to air on the block; the show debuted on the same night of the network's premiere in August 2001. Bebop aired regularly on the network for well over a decade after its American TV debut, which made it one of the network's longest-running shows. Toonami still has the rights to air the show, but if you cannot watch it on TV, you will have little trouble finding it elsewhere: Bandai released the show on DVD several times (including a remastered "Remix" version), Funimation later rescued the license so it could re-release the show on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital video, and the series is also available in its entirety on [adult swim]'s website (albeit in censored form).Check the series franchise page for more info about other media in the series.Watanabe later created a spiritual successor in Samurai Champloo, then parodied his own work in Space☆Dandy. His 2019 series Carole & Tuesday is set in the same universe as Bebop, though it has no connections besides the shared setting."Bang..."

Memento Macguffin: Jet's pocket watch in "Ganymede Elegy". At the end, he throws it in the water to show that he's finally over Elisa. The music box from "Jupiter Jazz". The Betamax cassette tape from "Speak Like a Child" serves as one for Faye, though it hasn't been "kept" like a traditional memento, instead forwarded from address to address for decades until it finally reaches her.

The Man in Front of the Man: In "Sympathy for the Devil", the Bebop crew tries to track down an old bounty head called Zebra, who seems to be masquerading as a paralyzed man living with a young boy. Only after searching the memories of one of Zebra's dying friends do the crew find that Zebra is really disabled and is in the clutches of the boy, who, due to a freak hyperspace gateway incident, doesn't age and is much older than he looks.

 Cowboy Bebop / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: "Yuri Kellerman", the crazy Conspiracy Theorist from "Jamming with Edward", is clearly a play on the self-proclaimed "psychic" (read: con-man) Uri Geller. The Teddy Bear Bomber is clearly an expy of Ted Kaczynski, a.k.a. the Unabomber, although he's portrayed as more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist (and also a Technical Pacifist). The bounty head in "Heavy Metal Queen" bears more than a passing resemblance to Woody Allen. To drive the point home, the family restaurant where Faye finds him is named Woody's.

Human Shield: Attempted by a mook in Spike's first showdown with Vicious. He holds Faye in front of him and holds a gun to her head, threatening to shoot if Spike doesn't surrender. Spike, ever the Combat Pragmatist, simply shoots the mook in the head. Then later, another of Vicious' mooks, actually does die protecting him this way in "Jupiter Jazz (Part II)".

Melting-Pot Nomenclature
 Cowboy Bebop / int_1997076f
comment
Melting-Pot Nomenclature: Not uncommon, as the evacuation of Earth resulted in a cultural and racial melting pot. Taken to its natural conclusion, you get a character like Faye (which could also be Fei) Valentine (implied but never confirmed not to be her real last name), who claims to be Roma but is later revealed to be from Singapore before the gate disaster, or someone with the name Spike Spiegel who grew up working for the Red Dragon Syndicate, with most of their leadership having Chinese names. Others include Gren, whose full name is Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener, or Whitney Hagas Matsumoto; and Ed's full name, even if she did make it up, is Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (and even her real name, Françoise Appledelhi, is a mix of French and Turkish).

End of an Age
 Cowboy Bebop / int_1bc2e445
comment
End of an Age: The show gives the sense that the day of the short-lived Wild West IN SPACE! has already peaked, and the frontier era brought about by rapid colonization of the solar system is coming to a close. In keeping with the meta sensibilities of the series, this goes hand-in-hand with the show's various nods to late-period Westerns like The Wild Bunch and Ride the High Country, not to mention the window of time when those movies were made, i.e. The '70s: after the fall of Hollywood's old studio system, before the rise of the current blockbuster era.

The Movie
 Cowboy Bebop / int_1bf94a24
comment
"Ballad of Fallen Angels" and "The Real Folk Blues" deal specifically with Spike's past on Mars, betraying his best friend and leaving behind the love of his life. "Knocking On Heaven's Door" takes a more surreal approach to this, as a microcosm of the series with Vincent serving as a Composite Character/Foil to both Spike and Vicious. Episodes that end with a physical showdown like "Pierrot Le Fou" or the much lighter "Cowboy Funk" also tend to focus more heavily on Spike.

Scannable Man: During his introductory episode, Whitney Hagas Matsumoto mentions to Faye that they're fairly standard among the citizens who live on that moon. Except he's lying, and he's a former prisoner and wanted man himself. In the following session, we see that all the escaped prisoners have similar tattoos — on the side of their necks, rather than the back. Presumably different prison systems have different protocol for it.

The shortest of shorts, a tight-fitting, midriff-baring, sleeveless yellow top with Spy Catsuit-esque wide lapels and a plunging neckline, a coquettish '50s-style headband, and thigh-high stockings. She even wears it under her winter coat on the frozen moon of Callisto.

Vicious rarely smiles, but given his personality, it can't be anything but this when he does. In his first appearance, the only time he comes close to smiling is when he and Spike are in back to back in a fight for their lives in a flashback.

Crapsack World
 Cowboy Bebop / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: There are a fair share of them, but most can only be gathered by what little we actually see of them. Despite their qualities, life continues on without (or perhaps despite) any major hindrances. Earth survived a lunar apocalypse and is still bombarded by meteor showers, yet people have no problem living with a certain degree of satisfaction in the ruins of society. Callisto is cold, industrial, and mainly devoid of any female population. It's mostly a blue-collar, hardscrabble town. Ganymede seems pretty normal for a settlement that lives on a floating city on an ocean. Venus is pretty normal despite the helium and the occasional case of Venus Sickness. Tijuana in the Asteroid Belt is a bit on the rural side. Io is largely under development, consisting of small settlements and wide open plains and deserts. Titan seems to be a Single-Biome Planet, consisting almost entirely of desert with no discernible settlements. Tharsis City on Mars seems to have become the main thriving center for humanity, with no major social or technological problems. Despite the presence of the Syndicate, the Bebop calls it home. Many of the episodes of the series takes place within.

In Medias Res: The film is reportedly set between episodes 22 and 23 of the series, and seems to be aimed at "people who want more Cowboy Bebop," and not at "people who want to see what this Cowboy Bebop is all about." The plot isn't hard to follow, but we get very little backstory for the world and the characters.

Failure Is the Only Option
 Cowboy Bebop / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: The crew will never catch "the big bounty" and solve their money troubles. They can only hope to get a few of the small ones. In the case of Chessmaster Hex, they do manage to put themselves in a situation where they could have become rich. They decide to give up any monetary award so that the by-then senile old man will be left alone and Ed can finish her game. When Ed finally takes up bounty hunting, if completely by accident, she not only wrecks the other bounty hunter (and vigilante wanting revenge), but she's also convinced by the shroom grower that the mushrooms are worth much more than his own bounty (that, or she was just hungry. It's Ed.) The shrooms turn out to have been fake, anyway. For a change of pace, in "Cowboy Funk", Spike and Andy end up too distracted fighting each other, leaving Faye to successfully handing target Teddy Bomber over to the police, earning 3 million woolongs.

Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Inverted and played with. In "Jupiter Jazz Part I", Gren, a bishonen-looking (apparent) man rescues Faye from some thugs. When he goes to shower, Faye hears a phone call that makes her suspicious. She goes into the bathroom and whips aside the curtain to reveal that "he" possesses flaring hips and a pair of breasts. She looks down and freaks. Turns out he's male, but experimental medication threw his hormones severely out of whack.

Thou Shalt Not Kill
 Cowboy Bebop / int_2f94135c
comment
Thou Shalt Not Kill: A completely pragmatic, loosely-applied version. Bounty hunters only get rewarded if they bring their targets in alive, so the Bebop crew tries to avoid lethal force on the job. When they're fighting someone who isn't a bounty, they have no such compunction.

Scary Black Man
 Cowboy Bebop / int_3036294e
comment
Scary Black Man: Played with. Abdul Hakim fits the trope to a tee: deep-voiced, extremely strong, gigantic, and violent (although before his Magic Plastic Surgery he was a dark-skinned blonde, so make of that what you will). Udai Taxim is a sociopathic mob enforcer and fairly chilling, but not necessarily because he's black. He wears glasses, and is notably thin and slightly built, much smaller than Jet and about even with most of his fellow jailbreakees — all of whom badly underestimate him, since despite the difference in size, Taxim can still hold off Jet, mechanical arm and all. And then it turns out that he didn't carry quite as much of the blame for Jet's predicament as Jet always thought, since Fad had sold him out before they even arrived on the scene.

Beard of Sorrow: Vincent Volaju, the main antagonist of Knockin' on Heaven's Door, used to be clean shaven and have short hair, judging by the picture taken when he was still in the military. However, after the events that lead to his Sanity Slippage, he grew a beard and apparently stopped cutting, or even combing, his hair.

Hollywood Healing

Hollywood Healing: Mostly for Spike. It's not uncommon for him to be bandaged from head to toe in one episode and without a scratch in the next. Somewhat justified in that it is the future and replacement body parts are available, alongside other advanced medical technology, and it isn't clear whether Spike is a normal human. Of course, given the episodic nature of the series, there is no confirmation of just how much time passes between any episodes. Days, weeks, months... That's a lot of time to heal.

Cryptic Background Reference: The show uses surprisingly little Exposition or As You Know to let the audience in on the details of the setting and backstories of the characters. Flashbacks also tend to be vague and undefined, a collection of images and moments rather than its own subplot. Reportedly the movie Knockin' on Heaven's Door was supposed to be a prequel about Spike's time in the Syndicate, but decided leaving it abstract was better.

Bulk Buy Only: It's feast or famine aboard the Bebop. In one episode, Ed supplies the crew with a bottomless bag of mushrooms, which were supposed to be psychedelic mushrooms worth a fortune to the right buyer but turn out to be ordinary shiitakes. Runs in the family, it turns out: as a Call-Back in her farewell episode, Ed's father pays the bounty Ed herself posted with eggs. In both cases, the crew ends up eating the same thing prepared multiple ways for days on end, ending up well and truly sick of them in the process.

Face Death with Dignity: A less serious example in "Wild Horses", where it seems that Spike and his Swordfish will be unwillingly burning up in Earth's atmosphere in short time; Spike coolly lights a stoge and tells Jet to help himself to his secret whiskey behind the fridge. A dramatic example in "Jupiter Jazz, Part II" when Gren asks Spike to put him in his ship and send him off to the planet he once fought on before he dies.

Time Marches On: When "Speak Like a Child" was made in 1998, videotapes and tape recorders were commonplace, and part of the humor was about Spike and Jet being completely unfamiliar with how these devices work. As these devices are becoming relics of the past, some of the jokes will lack some of the punch with future viewers, such as Spike and Jet trekking into the ruins of Earth to find a tape player, only to learn that it's the wrong format for the tape they wanted to watch.

If you look at him after the reveal, you can see his eyes are different shades of brown.

Schizo Tech: Characters who own starships capable of traveling faster than light through hyperspace gates will call each other on computers and phones that seem to come straight out of the early 90s. In planetary colonies, space-capable personal aircraft share parking lots with internal-combustion cars. Characters don augmented-reality goggles while they shoot small arms that exist today. Ship-mounted beam weapons do exist, but they are rare and seldom-used even then, with most ship-to-ship firefights happening with autocannons and missiles.

Faye says, basically, that Humans Are Bastards and the only way to get ahead is to scam other people before they can scam you.

Curb-Stomp Battle: The series is full of them, really, considering it's a World of Badass. Ed's dad hands both Spike and Jet (who was armed) their blue-clad behinds. This is possibly the only fight in the series where friggin' Spike is completely outclassed by a perfectly ordinary human. One wonders how different the ending would have been if Vicious had managed to run into Spike just a few seconds before the fight with Ed's dad started... Yeah, he's that badass. Abdul Hakim beats up a group of mooks pretty easily.

Shut Up, Hannibal!: Spike delivers one to Dr. Londes and fires his gun at the monitor he's appearing on. Subverted in that it doesn't work, but luckily, Ed is working on disabling the signal.

Mysterious Past
 Cowboy Bebop / int_421ae215
comment
Mysterious Past: All four crew members. Five if you include the dog, and you should. Spike gets the most attention. Ed gets the least. And the pasts of many of the characters remain ambiguous even once the series has concluded. With careful review and some logic, you can piece together some things, but you'll never know the whole story.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Hyperspace gates are rendered in 3D during the occasional close-up shots they receive in the series. The sunstone device (Luo-Pan) from "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" is rendered in 3D once it "activates." The space-warehouse in "Wild Horses" is rendered in 3D in some shots. In "Pierrot Le Fou," many scenes of Mad Pierrot (including his creepy origin and balloonish flying) contain CG for an uncanny effect, demonstrating that Pierrot does not conform to the laws of reality.

Honor Before Reason
 Cowboy Bebop / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: They can protest their own mercenary ways as much as they'd like, but Spike and Jet are heroes; they often let several bounties and other lucrative opportunities get away to do the right thing. A good example is Spike, a self-proclaimed dog-hater, saving Ein and giving up the bounty (and taking on the dog as a member of the crew afterwards) — making it a literal case of petting the dog.

Alternate Continuity: Shooting Star, the first manga Spin-Off. When Cain Kuga started the comic, only the first episode or two of the anime had been completed (not yet aired), so that and the main character bios were all she had to go on. She ended up going in a completely different direction from the anime.

"Speak Like A Child", a comedic example. Jet actually says as much as much in the preview for the previous episode. The tape is worthless to everyone but its intended recipient, all Spike and Jet's efforts to get a Betamax player come to nothing because they accidentally grab a VHS player, and the episode's main problem eventually resolves itself without intervention from the cast (a proper Betamax player is sent to the Bebop in the same way the tape was). However, because of who the package's recipient is and what its contents are, the ending is very somber.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Spike and Jet. Don't let that exterior fool you — they put Honor Before Reason several times. Faye too, though she shows it less often. Really, with the exclusion of Ein (a hyper-intelligent dog) and Ed (who is just weird), everyone on the Bebop puts on a massive show about only being interested in money and yet all of them tend to do the right thing in the end.

Alternate Aesop Interpretation
 Cowboy Bebop / int_48f282a3
comment
Alternate Aesop Interpretation: Played with In-Universe in "Toys In The Attic." Each member of the crew monologues a different lesson to the same story, although they all end up being Spoof Aesops in one way or another: Jet believes it's divine justice — for what exactly, he's not entirely clear, but if something bad happens to you, then surely you must have done something to deserve it. Faye says, basically, that Humans Are Bastards and the only way to get ahead is to scam other people before they can scam you. It's eat or be eaten, everyone's out for themselves first, and there's nothing else to be learned. Of course, she's also the first to break down and beg for pity when it's her own neck on the line. Ed keeps it simple and ironic ("If you see a stranger, follow him!"), which doesn't seem relevant but has certainly worked out for her, up to and including stopping the "mystery space creature" once and for all by eating it in her sleep. Spike's lesson, Played for Comedy, is the most applicable to their current situation, and by extension, completely useless elsewhere. Although you could certainly make a case for this simply being an extension of Spike's philosophy, seen elsewhere in the series, that you have to take things for what they are and react in the moment ("Be like water"), as opposed to trying to fit everything into a preconceived set of beliefs about how the world is supposed to work.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In "Cowboy Funk", rival bounty hunter Andy has a highly noticeable western-themed Leitmotif that precedes his every arrival. By the halfway point of the episode, Andy's encounters with Spike has traumatized and infuriated Spike to the point that he interrupts the villain during an encounter because someone whistling in the background sounded like the Leitmotif starting up.

Screamer Trailer: Twice: Parodied in the preview for horror parody "Toys in the Attic" is played entirely deadpan with an over-the-top narrator reading copy as if it's for a horror movie from The '50s, as the characters scream in terror/agony in the background. Played horrifyingly straight in the preview for "Pierrot Le Fou", which is just Mad Pierrot laughing maniacally over dead silence. It works very well, especially coming after the relatively light episode that was "Wild Horses."

Downer Ending
 Cowboy Bebop / int_4e3d253b

Could also count as a Downer Ending, or even No Ending, for both Jet and Faye. Do they continue traveling together? Do they (most likely) go their separate ways? Again, if Spike really is dead, then the latter means Jet loses his best friend, Faye loses her new ones, and they both end up more alone than ever. At least if what's left of the crew never sees each other again. Then again, if you believe Spike is alive, and "Real Folk Blues" is just another episode where he makes it out by the skin of his teeth, like in "Ballad of Fallen Angels", this could all be an aversion. A lot is left up in the air, and up to interpretation.

Tired of Running
 Cowboy Bebop / int_564d4e71
comment
Tired of Running: Many of the bounty heads go out this way, sacrificing their own lives to ensure their actions don't cause any more harm to others. Katrina Solensan in the very first session, for example, kills Asimov herself when she finally comes to believe that there's no happy ending waiting for the two of them after what they've done. This is one interpretation of the series finale: rather than forgetting the past, it's about, as Jet says in the final preview, facing up to it, meeting your fate — whether to accept it, or, perhaps, to fight it.

Escaped Animal Rampage: "Stray Dog Strut", has the protagonists hired to hunt down a dog escaped from a lab, or more specifically, the criminal who tried to steal it. Meanwhile, the lab workers try to recapture the dog with a giant dog whistle, which results in a riot of stray dogs running through the streets. The protagonists end up with the dog, never knowing it's been genetically engineered to be fantastically intelligent and is worth a fortune.

Smoking Is Edgy: The main adult cast of the Bebop, and indeed the setting as a whole, are all chain smokers with varying levels of cynicism. They're an Anti-Hero Team all with their own unique Dark and Troubled Past and have given up on life in one way or another, living in Perpetual Poverty in the outskirts of society. Only Cheerful Child Ed and (genius) Precious Puppy Ein don't partake in smoking.

Fragile Speedster: There's a quick reference late in the series to Spike's Swordfish having once been a racing craft before he used it. This comes in handy during the movie where Spike is able to drag three military-grade fighters into a protracted chase across a pretty large distance instead of dog-fighting them outright, while using the environment to get them off his back. It's still rendered an un-flyable mess after getting hit a few times. Also doubles as a Glass Cannon with the giant screw-off plasma cannon mounted in front that can take out just about anything in one shot.

Dissonant Serenity: Space Land, a Disneyland-esque park which the Mad Pierrot chooses for his extremely one-sided duel to the death with Spike. Done beautifully in "Ballad of Fallen Angels", as Spike is hurled out of a church window just after having dropped a grenade at Vicious's feet. He remembers his past with Julia over the lilting strains of "Green Bird". "Ganymede Elegy" has the folksy acoustic guitar song "Elm" play during the climactic chase scene.

Not Distracted by the Sexy: Faye's Stripperific yellow outfit draws astoundingly little attention at times; no one seems to treat her any differently than any other attractive woman even when she's wearing two-thirds less clothing than everyone else around.

Florence Nightingale Effect: How Julia and Spike fell in love. Whitney and Faye play with this, first off in that Whitney is legal counsel, not a nurse, then subverted entirely when it's revealed Whitney and the doctor/nurse team that brought Faye out of Cold Sleep were all con artists trying to convince Faye to pay them Cold Sleep fees. It's this trope enough, though, because Whitney admitted to falling in love with her.

Shoot the Hostage Taker: Faye gets used as a Human Shield by syndicate goon who orders Spike to drop his gun. Spike responds by shooting the goon in the head before he could finish his sentence. Spike does this again in the movie, though this time he doesn't kill the man, he simply wings him in the shoulder, and he crashes and breaks a freezer open, with the ensuing beer cans falling out of the freezer he just slammed into from the impact of the bullet clonking him on the head and knockin him out cold. No pun intended.

Wild Mass Guessing: Many people believe that episode 11, "Toys in the Attic", was All Just a Dream because episode 12 immediately begins with Spike vaulting awake due to the insufferable humidity on the ship. There's no actual evidence or further mention to support it. During the episode preview for episode 12, Edward lampshaded that everyone had died except her in that episode, but then Faye quickly subverts it by protesting.

Talking through Technique: Subverted in "Bohemian Rhapsody". The crew thinks that the chess pieces they found on apprehended thieves might hold some secret message, but they were merely a signal from the mastermind to his former employers that it was he who was pulling the jobs. He had a reputation as a chess lover.

Lemony Narrator
 Cowboy Bebop / int_6d57a234
comment
Lemony Narrator: All the characters get in on this in the fourth wall-shredding next-episode previews, the frequently stonefaced Jet in particular. Jet basically says that nobody but "musty old guys" are going to want to bother to watch "Black Dog Serenade", which focuses on his past and finally explains how he lost the arm. He also says that "Speak Like A Child" basically has no plot which, of course, is the point but "at first glance, it's interesting." Made funnier if you've ever seen the English dub of Outlaw Star, since Beau Billingslea also did the voiceovers for that series. Ed narrates the preview for "Jupiter Jazz (Part I)" as if the whole rest of the crew died from their injuries in "Toys in the Attic", saying she's the lead of a new series, until Spike and Faye burst in to protest that "there really is a next episode!" The preview for "Wild Horses" has Ein bark the preview, with Spike pretending to understand him until, to Spike's disbelief, Ein actually speaks the title at the end The Three Old Men do the preview for "Mushroom Samba", but don't actually know anything about the episode and just bicker with each other before running out of time. Cowboy Andy ("Just call me Musashi!") does a mock preview for "Brain Scratch", over Spike's heated protests. Inverted with the preview for "Hard Luck Woman", which features a lot of typically Ed-centric goofy comic relief scenes, while Ed hums an oddly bittersweet little ditty over top of them. Because it's Ed's last episode before she and Ein leave the Bebop for good, and Faye's B-plot in the episode ends with her wandering through the ruins of her past life, only to find there's nothing left. Played for Drama in the preview for "The Real Folk Blues (Part II)," where Spike is trying to be his usual casual self, but Faye is repeating a kind of monotone Survival Mantra in the background, while Jet is rambling morosely to himself about how knowing Spike helped him, and neither of them seem to be able to hear Spike talking — which just adds further fuel to the fire over whether or not the final episode ends with Spike's death.

Great Off Screen War: Vicious, Gren, and Vincent were involved in the war on Titan. While brief glimpses of the war are shown, the war is never explained. Spike's past involvements in the Red Dragon Syndicate, his partnership and friendship with Vicious, and how he came to meet Julia is also told in this manner - brief glimpses (silent stills, mostly) are shown, but nothing is ever really explained in words.

Cassette Futurism: It has a very 1970s aesthetic, including computer files that look like long-playing records. This is completely appropriate since the show IS set in the '70s — the 2070s. The show as a whole revolves around early 70's nostalgia, taking the biggest cultural hallmarks of the era and modernizing them to fit a retrofuturist setting.

Worthless Yellow Rocks: Several times the crew end up in possession of something that has immense value as a MacGuffin, but only to a handful of people and they are either arrested by the end, more likely to kill them than give them a fair exchange price or the crew is not privy to its exact value. This includes Ein, a "data dog" (never explained what that means, only that Ein does appear unusually intelligent) and a poker chip with valuable computer information, which they use as a normal chip at the end of the episode.

Faye gets three episodes detailing her forgotten past, each more tear-jerking than the last: "My Funny Valentine", "Speak Like A Child", and "Hard Luck Woman" (despite sharing the latter with Ed). "Jupiter Jazz" (both parts) is also very much her and Gren's story, more so than the rest of the main cast, despite the presence of Vicious. In each of the aforementioned episodes other than "Hard Luck Woman", and also in her introduction in "Honky Tonk Women", Faye ends up running away from the Bebop and by extension, closeness to others, her looming past, responsibility, etc.

Bait-and-Switch: In The Real Folk Blues, Spike tells a story to Jet about a cat that lived a million lives and died a million times, until it fell in love, and when the cat's love died, the cat died to but didn't come back. While it seems like an obvious parallel for Spike's life, he then says that he hates that story, because he hates cats. Of course, it actually is Foreshadowing. The events of Bohemian Rhapsody appear at first watch to be the first hints at a deeper secret to the Bebop universe and a possible role of the Gates in Earth's destruction that has been covered up by the corporation responsible. Despite learning the truth about these events, Jet strikes a deal with the Gate Corporation to keep quiet about the defects, and the plot point never returns after the end of the episode.

Bullet Time: The combat drug Bloody Eye allows the user to perceive the world in slow motion and react accordingly. Spike easily counters this in an Establishing Character Moment for himself and the series, quickly realizing that this isn't much help if you can't anticipate your opponent's moves, and it relies entirely on being able to see them... so he wears a poncho and sombrero and tosses up tables and furniture, all to keep Asimov distracted:

Macross Missile Massacre: Happens a few times. Faye suffers one during her debut episode, and takes advantage of it by sending one of the missiles back to her attacker. Played with in "Gateway Shuffle," the villains launch a biological weapon at Ganymede. Just before Spike can line up a shot on the weapon, it splits into three, and he misses one. Faye, who is still in a position to take a shot at the last missile, does so only for the missile to split into dozens of projectiles before her eyes.

Apocalypse How: The Earth went through a Class 1 one some 50 years prior to the events of the series. A warp gate accident tore a hole on the Moon and wiped out most of the population on Earth with the resulting explosion and falling debris. The surface remains mostly uninhabitable due to constant rock showers, but bustling communities of people still exist underground, and they enjoy a semi-normal lifestyle thanks to human civilization already taking hold in other planets by the time of the cataclysm.

comment
Retraux: The show is a living embodiment of the 70's nostalgia that permeated the 90's. Everything, from the character and prop designs to the storytelling, is inspired by 1970's-era cultural elements, both from Japan and the US— the storytelling itself is heavily influenced by movies from the New Hollywood era of American filmmaking, to the point where its finale seems like a less ambiguous take on that of Taxi Driver. The music is another big example, being a mix of 70's-inspired rock, funk, jazz, and blues, often in combination with one another, courtesy of Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts. The opening titles, intertitles, and ending sequence take further influence from the 70's jazz and film scenes, and a lot of how the opening is structured is influenced by 70's anime openings. This is taken to an even further extent with the show's home media releases, which style themselves on common tropes used in 60's and 70's jazz album design, with a stark image underneath large text on the front and a smaller picture surrounded by an Info Dump of text on the back. The 2001 Perfect Sessions DVD Boxed Set even designs the discs to resemble 7" records.

Continuous Decompression: When V.T. opens the cab of her truck to rescue Spike, the air rushes out for at least thirty seconds and yet there's still air left when he gets in. Of course, he also survives being spaced that long without air, so don't expect a high degree of realism here. Spike does this again when he has to throw the old fridge out of the airlock in "Toys in the Attic"; he nearly gets sucked out, but again is just fine.

"Green Bird" in Session 5, "Ballad of Fallen Angels", after Spike is blown out of a stained-glass window following a brutal fight with Vicious, seeing his life flash before his eyes as he falls. Offset by a comedic counterpoint when Spike wakes up as a Bandage Mummy, being nursed back to health and sung to — but by Faye, rather than Julia. Spike tells her she sings off-key, Faye hits him with a pillow hard enough to fill the room with a cloud of feathers, then storms off in a huff. End episode.

Riddle for the Ages: In the final episode, does Spike die at the end or does he just pass out because he's worn out and wounded after the fight? Either answer completely changes the meaning of the ending. Watanabe actually encourages people to speculate about it, though he personally prefers the idea that Spike simply passes out.

comment
Broke Show: The crew very, very rarely bring in a successful bounty. When they do, it's off-screen, negated somehow, or the funds are eaten up to repair all the shit Spike broke chasing down the criminal. As a result, a majority of the show's plots begin with the crew trying to get enough money to eat more than just table scraps.

False Friend: Faye is notorious for abandoning the Bebop on a whim, only to return later when she needs money or help. Surprisingly played with Jet (when Spike goes after Julia), who is willing to let the latter die on grounds of They're Called "Personal Issues" for a Reason. It seems like an argument they already had a long time ago.

Foreshadowing
 Cowboy Bebop / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: In "Asteroid Blues", Laughing Bull tells Spike he'll be "targeted by a woman, and then… death". Spike mentions he's been "killed once before" by a woman, but he doesn't elaborate. We later learn that he's talking about the incident that led him to his current lot in life; he was "killed" in the sense that he had to leave his old life behind under bad circumstances, and a woman played a large part in whatever happened. Later still, the same woman turns out to be a major factor in his actual, non-metaphorical death, too. Katerina (Asimov's heavily pregnant wife) orders a bloody mary at the bar, prompting stares from the three men playing poker there. While 'bloody mary' later proves to be a euphemism for drugs, it's the first hint that she isn't actually pregnant. In "Gateway Shuffle," Faye panics when she sees the translucent rockets on the other side of hyperspace still coming at them. Spike and Jet laugh at her, and Jet asks her if she didn't pay attention in high-school physics class, because general hyperspace knowledge is apparently common. This gets paid off when we learn that Faye was in suspended animation for about fifty years. She wasn't daydreaming in physics class, rather, those advances in science hadn't been made when she was in high-school. "Jupiter Jazz" shows us that Vicious is dissatisfied with the leadership of the Red Dragon, setting up his coup later on. In "Brain Scratch," it's heavily foreshadowed that Londes doesn't exist well before the characters learn of it.

Eye Scream: "You will shed tears of scarlet." In the first episode, we follow a criminal attempting to smuggle a massive amount of "Bloody Eye", a drug that's applied, well, ocularly. At the end of the episode, the bounty attempts to take more Bloody Eye directly from the vial, without the applicator that usually sprays the drug into the eye. He can only do this by crushing the vial and its shards blind him.

Soundtrack Dissonance: Intentionally employed with the cheery Space Warriors jingle playing over a scene of dead and wounded diners. Sometimes, you don't even need visuals. Also, the fight between Spike and Pierrot in a theme park. The merry fanfare gets more distorted and horrifying the more you and Spike realize he's completely outmatched and about to die. Beautifully employed here when Vicious throws Spike out of a church window.

Straw Misogynist: Crops up throughout the series, but with enough self-awareness (and enough strong female characters) to show the flaws at work behind those kinds of assumptions. Jet can't even quite bring himself to believe there's any fundamental difference between human beings of either gender, even as he's saying it:

Alas, Poor Villain: Teddy Bomber in Cowboy Funk is really trying hard to make a statement with his bombs. But no matter how hard he tries, he gets ignored or shushed. And then punched in the face. By Spike, then Jet, then Faye.

Chekhov's Skill: Spike teaches Rocco to do a judo-like throw near the beginning of the episode he appears in. At the end, he does it to one of the villains and beams with approval and then gets shot and dies. Ed shows that she can remotely steer ships via satellite when she wrecks the police cruiser. Guess how she directs the Bebop to come back for her at the end of the episode? A minor one from "Honky Tonk Woman", where Spike demonstrates his ability to swallow and regurgitate objects at will with a cigarette which later comes in useful for preventing Faye from getting her hands on the poker chip.

Off Bridge, onto Vehicle
 Cowboy Bebop / int_b149d59f
comment
Off Bridge, onto Vehicle: All the time. It's an action series, after all. Twice in "Stray Dog Strut": the first time, in an extremely straight example has Ein and Spike jump off a bridge onto a fishing barge — only for Ein to jump off the barge and knock both him and Spike into the water, leaving Hakim behind. Then, during the climax of the episode, jumps out of a moving car, off a raised highway over water, forcing Spike to divert course to catch him on top of his ship. In "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui", Jet and Meifa jump off the top of a stone wall and land on a passing bus to avoid the two pursuing gunmen.

 Cowboy Bebop / int_b53077b3

Take That!: During its original airing in Japan, a number of episodes were deemed un-airable due to recent school violence. It was questionable whether the series would extend beyond episode 13. In response to this, an episode entitled "Session 13.5: Mish-Mash Blues" was made featuring scenes from the unairable episodes with the voice actors discussing the show. Many people don't know that Cowboy Bebop actually has a Japanese Hip-Hop song called "Recover the Sky of Day," which reflects the somber situation of society at the time, among its list of ED songs. Cold, macho Callisto is an obvious dig at North Korea.

Improbable Aiming Skills: Faye is a good enough shot to blow out the tires of a mobster's car. Twice. From the same episode, a nameless mook involved in Vicious's coup manages to shoot off the shackles holding Vicious to the wall of his cell, in the middle of a smoke-filled room during a firefight, without even scratching Vicious himself. The series would have been a lot shorter if that guy had been around in any of the other firefights between Spike and the Red Dragon...

comment
Chef of Iron: Jet can always be counted on to whip up something to eat (when there's food to cook), even if he only has one or two ingredients to work with. This contrasts well with Spike's cooking skills, which consist of blowtorching the food into carbonized lumps.

Slasher Smile: Vicious rarely smiles, but given his personality, it can't be anything but this when he does. In his first appearance, the only time he comes close to smiling is when he and Spike are in back to back in a fight for their lives in a flashback. Pirate/hacker George from "Wild Horses" gets in a couple of good ones when he takes over the Bebop with his computer virus. Tongpu has one of these so madly twisted you can hear his teeth grinding.

Udai Taxim is a sociopathic mob enforcer and fairly chilling, but not necessarily because he's black. He wears glasses, and is notably thin and slightly built, much smaller than Jet and about even with most of his fellow jailbreakees — all of whom badly underestimate him, since despite the difference in size, Taxim can still hold off Jet, mechanical arm and all. And then it turns out that he didn't carry quite as much of the blame for Jet's predicament as Jet always thought, since Fad had sold him out before they even arrived on the scene.

Keeping the Handicap: In "Black Dog Serenade", Faye questions why Jet doesn't get an organic arm replacement since, in the future of the series, organs can be cultivated and easily replace missing limbs. However Jet opts for the artificial one, largely as a reminder of the day he lost his real arm via a trap the mob and his partner, Fad, who was on their dime, lured him into and not to get too careless as he did in the past.

Otaku: Spike and Jet enlist the services of an old-school video otaku in an attempt to watch an old tape. He goes into fits of ecstasy upon seeing that it's Betamax, and nearly has a heart attack when Spike tries to fix an issue by kicking the player and destroying it entirely. In the original Adult Swim airing of "Jamming With Edward", Faye mentions that the hacker was probably a "chubby otaku". Every airing afterwards, it was changed to something along the lines of "Nerdy, pasty little geek with a bad skin disorder." note As of the 9/19/10 airing, the line's been changed back to the original "chubby otaku".

 Cowboy Bebop / int_d1da2c36

Played for Drama in the preview for "The Real Folk Blues (Part II)," where Spike is trying to be his usual casual self, but Faye is repeating a kind of monotone Survival Mantra in the background, while Jet is rambling morosely to himself about how knowing Spike helped him, and neither of them seem to be able to hear Spike talking — which just adds further fuel to the fire over whether or not the final episode ends with Spike's death.

When Ed finally takes up bounty hunting, if completely by accident, she not only wrecks the other bounty hunter (and vigilante wanting revenge), but she's also convinced by the shroom grower that the mushrooms are worth much more than his own bounty (that, or she was just hungry. It's Ed.) The shrooms turn out to have been fake, anyway.

comment
Dream Within a Dream: Within a dream, within a dream... Dreams, memory, and the past are all intricately wrapped together in the narrative of the series. Part of the reason Spike spends so much time asleep is because he's lost the ability to tell when he's asleep or when he's dreaming — as well as whether he's alive in the moment, whether these things are happening to him now, or if he's simply remembering the past. This turns out to be something he shares with Julia, as well as Vincent in The Movie.

Rotating Protagonist
 Cowboy Bebop / int_d959d421
comment
Rotating Protagonist: The series begins and ends on Spike and he's pretty much the face of the show, but it's an Ensemble Cast at its core, with each main cast member other than Ein getting spotlight episodes dealing with their inability to let go of the past — or in Ed's case, her remarkable ability to do just that. The early dynamic of Spike as The Hero and Jet and Faye as his sidekicks quickly falls by the wayside, with some episodes barely hardly featuring Spike at all. "Ballad of Fallen Angels" and "The Real Folk Blues" deal specifically with Spike's past on Mars, betraying his best friend and leaving behind the love of his life. "Knocking On Heaven's Door" takes a more surreal approach to this, as a microcosm of the series with Vincent serving as a Composite Character/Foil to both Spike and Vicious. Episodes that end with a physical showdown like "Pierrot Le Fou" or the much lighter "Cowboy Funk" also tend to focus more heavily on Spike. Faye gets three episodes detailing her forgotten past, each more tear-jerking than the last: "My Funny Valentine", "Speak Like A Child", and "Hard Luck Woman" (despite sharing the latter with Ed). "Jupiter Jazz" (both parts) is also very much her and Gren's story, more so than the rest of the main cast, despite the presence of Vicious. In each of the aforementioned episodes other than "Hard Luck Woman", and also in her introduction in "Honky Tonk Women", Faye ends up running away from the Bebop and by extension, closeness to others, her looming past, responsibility, etc. Jet doesn't get his first spotlight episode until after Ed joins the crew, starting with a return trip to his home satellite in "Ganymede Elegy", later followed by his past as a cop in "Black Dog Serenade" and "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" in the back half of the season. Jet-centric episodes tend to be melancholy noir-ish detective stories. Ed episodes "Jamming With Edward" (her introduction), "Mushroom Samba", and "Hard Luck Woman" are, like most of her screentime, almost pure comic relief. Even Chessmaster Hex of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a more lighthearted episode villain than most of the others. "Toys In The Attic" makes a particular point of rotating through each protagonist in turn, giving each one a chance to narrate their worldview... all while being hunted by a Blob Monster that might or might not be an alien in an episode that is ambiguously implied to be All Just a Dream.

Writers Cannot Do Math: More than likely a case of the artists/writers not being overly familiar with the imperial system, but Abdul Hakim's mugshot says he's 6'2", and for this to be true, everyone else would have to be in the 4-5 foot range. Hakim's head nearly touches the ceiling in many shots, he has to duck to get through doors, he towers over the noticeably lanky Spike, etc.

Balance, Speed, Strength Trio: Spike has a balance of speed and strength and certainly takes the most physical punishment of the crew, Faye is agile and quick on the draw but not quite as tough, and Jet is heavily muscled, has a metal arm, and favors heavier guns than the others, though he's also a thinker and planner, unlike the rest of Bebop.

"Pan Up to the Sky" Ending: One of the most epic examples ever - a Flyaway Shot from the ground up, cut to a pan up into the clouds, through the atmosphere and above it, passing several satellites and settling at last on a starfield, all animated as one shot. So nice they used it twice, in fact — once for Gren's death in "Jupiter Jazz", and again for Spike's could-be death in "The Real Folk Blues."

Translation Convention: The Bebop-verse can be seen as highly multilingual, though the language preferred by the protagonists is most likely Chinese. The evidence: The Bebop can frequently be seen anchoring in a Martian Chinatown. In one scene, 'No Smoking' signs can be seen in various languages. Out of all those, Jet picks the one in Chinese to point his finger on. Faye is from Singapore. Jet can be seen reading and writing e-mails in Chinese. Spike used to work for the Triads. The universal currency is the Chinese-sounding "Woolong".

Thanks to a few breadcrumbs that lead her back to Singapore on Earth, her memories come flooding back. When she runs up to the top of the hill where her childhood house was, she finds there's nothing left but the foundation. She takes a stick and draws a line in the dirt to outline her bedroom and bed before laying down to look up at the sky.

The last episode is about a pair of Star-Crossed Lovers, Spike and Julia, who want to leave their violent past behind them and run away from it all to live in peace. Things don't go well for either couple.

This is taken to an even further extent with the show's home media releases, which style themselves on common tropes used in 60's and 70's jazz album design, with a stark image underneath large text on the front and a smaller picture surrounded by an Info Dump of text on the back. The 2001 Perfect Sessions DVD Boxed Set even designs the discs to resemble 7" records.

Spike dreams he's walking up a staircase that never ends. He receives some sage advice from a frog, which he of course ignores and keeps walking. Back in the real world, he's simply standing in place, lifting his legs up and down but not actually moving... until he wakes up on the roof of the Bebop. Probably not conducive to escaping his whole All Just a Dream mindset.

Dirty Cop: Three reasons why Bounty Hunters are necessary in this universe: 1) many of the ISSP members are totally corrupt 2) many of them are totally gutless 3) justifiably they don't have nearly enough manpower to police the whole solar system. Jet's former partner Fad is an example, being a counterpoint to Jet's By-the-Book Cop nature. He's also a former mole for the Syndicate.

Prefers Going Barefoot: Ed is never seen wearing them, and apparently hadn't for a significant time prior to her appearance as she has proven herself skilled at typing with her toes. The anime goes even further to demonstrate exactly how uncomfortable Edward is with footwear. She at one point decided to wear socks outside, but was completely unable to keep her footing and immediately discarded them.

One-Steve Limit: Discussed. In "Jupiter Jazz," when the name Julia shows up on a signal coming from Callisto, Spike immediately takes off, assuming it's related to the Julia from his past. Jet, however, tries to point out that it's a common name and there's no reason to believe it's affiliated with who he thinks it is. As it turns out, it does pertain to her, but only due to her previous association with Gren and Vicious.

Mushroom Samba
 Cowboy Bebop / int_f7d4f121
comment
Mushroom Samba: The episode is the Trope Namer. Ed, assigned to search up some food for the starving, stranded crew, stumbles onto a bounty who smuggles mushrooms. After seeing the effect they have on Ein (he hops around like a wind-up toy), she tests them out on the rest of the crew, each of whom has their own reactions, all very much in character, and, if you're paying attention, symbolic of their character arcs: Faye hallucinates shrinking down to tiny size, a torrent of water falling down on her and filling up the bathroom, and fish swirling all around her as she tries desperately to swim. She's trapped in a world she doesn't understand, full of people she can't relate to, trying to fight the current. She wakes up on the floor, having eaten a bunch of toilet paper. Jet has what seems to be a very invigorating conversation with his bonsai trees where he realizes he's actually much happier than he thinks he is except he keeps forgetting who he is and what he's saying — he keeps getting in his own way when it comes to what he wants. He wakes up having applied/eaten a bunch of lipstick. Spike dreams he's walking up a staircase that never ends. He receives some sage advice from a frog, which he of course ignores and keeps walking. Back in the real world, he's simply standing in place, lifting his legs up and down but not actually moving... until he wakes up on the roof of the Bebop. Probably not conducive to escaping his whole All Just a Dream mindset.

Shoo Out the Clowns
 Cowboy Bebop / int_f97b5d33
comment
Shoo Out the Clowns: Ed and Ein spend pretty much all of "Jupiter Jazz" back on the ship, and are seldom seen in the more harrowing episodes, such as "Pierrot Le Fou". Space horror parody episode "Toys in the Attic" reverses this, with Ed being the second-to-last character featured and the only one unaffected by the monster because she fell asleep. In episode 23, "Brain Scratch", the body of Jobim, one of the Three Old Men, is laying in the rubble by the television tower. Happens gradually in the build-up to the final two episodes — Ed and Ein leave the ship after one final set of wacky antics with Ed's father and the only moment of semi-seriousness for Ed in the whole series, then we come across the male host of Big Shot (which has just been canceled) having a nice moment with his mother. After that point, shit goes down.

comment
Cyberpunk: Not as pronounced as other series, but there are elements of this. Technology has improved enough to allow for inter-planetary travel, but it's not as if life and society in general has sunken to a level where the technology is casually abused and taken for granted.

I Was Just Passing Through
 Cowboy Bebop / int_fb914165
comment
I Was Just Passing Through: Spike saving Faye from Vicious in episode 5 (he probably meant it, but he still shot the man holding her hostage first instead of Vicious). Jet goes chasing after Faye in episode 12 "for the money in the safe she emptied" (she later reveals it only had 20,000 woolongs in it, about a tenth of what the crew makes on the small fries they do catch). Faye completes the circle by doing this with Spike in episode 18.

Weapon Specialization
 Cowboy Bebop / int_fc148c2c
comment
Weapon Specialization: The show likes its guns. Spike is seen using a variety of weapons across the series, but his one constant (other than his Jeet Kune Do skills) is his customized Jericho 941. Jet and Faye, similarly, are almost exclusively armed with their one gun each (respectively a P99 and a Glock 30). Faye also seems to have a thing for automatic weapons: she's introduced pulling a submachine gun out of a paper bag, and her tiny ship is armed with dual gatling guns. Jet's old partner Fad favors his trusty revolver. Udai Taxim and Vincent Volaju like their knives. A Blood Knight who refuses to leave his war behind, Vicious wields a katana... and a lot of strategically-placed high explosives.

Brain Uploading: The goal of the cult group Scratch. More specifically, the goal of its members, but not its leader, Londes. As opposed to its members, Londes seems to resent his current state and in turn manipulates his followers into either suicide or catatonic states out of spite.

Beware the Nice Ones: Never underestimate Ed, no matter how flighty she may seem. Spike acts laid-back, and never seems to take personal offense to people trying to kill him. He's not even coldly methodical, he's just an easy-going cowboy. Right up until you piss him off.

Titled After the Song
 Cowboy Bebop / int_fcdf597b
comment
Titled After the Song: "Stray Dog Strut": "Stray Cat Strut" by the Stray Cats "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones "Ballad of Fallen Angels": "Fallen Angels" by Aerosmith "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones "Jamming With Edward": Not a song, but rather an album featuring 3 members of The Rolling Stones (singer Mick Jagger, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts), plus Ry Cooder and Nicky Hopkinsnote The "Edward" to which the title refers comes from a song Hopkins composed for psychedelic band Quicksilver Messenger Service, called "Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder" "Toys in the Attic" by Aerosmith "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen "My Funny Valentine" by Rogers and Hart (also where Faye's surname was picked from) "Black Dog Serenade": "Black Dog Blues" by pre-World War II blues artist Blind Blake. "Speak Like A Child" by Herbie Hancock "Wild Horses" by The Rolling Stones "Pierrot Le Fou": Named after a post-modernist French film from 1964 of the same name. "Hard Luck Woman" by KISS "The Real Folk Blues" by Muddy Waters (the lyrics of the ending song, also called "The Real Folk Blues", references this.) "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan (copyright problems prevented this from being used as the title of the movie when it was released stateside) "You're Gonna Carry That Weight": a reference to the second-last song on the Abbey Road album by The Beatles.

Theme Naming
 Cowboy Bebop / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: Not as noticeable as others, but: Spike - 5 letters; Faye - 4 letters; Jet - 3; Ed - 2; and the dog Ein (Eins being the German word for one). It even denotes how important they are plotwise. Ed and Ein are mostly just comic relief characters who leave the crew before the finale even begins. Jet is important in plenty of dramatic episodes, but his plotline is basically over before the show starts, most of his episodes involve resolution with various people he's known and in the finale he's put out of commission pretty early in the story. Faye has the second biggest plot line involving learning her past and she gets to fight off Triad members with Julia. And Spike is the main character with the finale being all about him. Also, the three old men—Antonio, Carlos, and Jobim—are named after Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim, the guy who wrote Girl From Ipanema. Three Space Pirates named George, Harman, and Ruth, after a famous baseball player better known as "Babe." There's also Punch and Judy, the hosts of the bounty showcase program "Big Shot", who get their names from a famous puppet duo. There's a trio of bounty heads that show up briefly in one episode named Huey, Dewey, and Louie, undoubtedly a reference to the Disney characters. The main characters' spaceships are the Swordfish, the Redtail, and the Hammerhead; all named after marine life. The Bebop is a remodeled fishing ship, Spike fights like water, and Spike's favorite food appears to be lobster. The episodes are usually titled after songs or otherwise reference music. See Titled After the Song below for detailed explanations.

Ridiculous Future Inflation
 Cowboy Bebop / int_fdbb6993
comment
Ridiculous Future Inflation: From a western standpoint, the money sums mentioned in the series seem ridiculously inflated (including Jet not being particularly angry after Faye makes off with 20,000 woolongs from the Bebop's safe in "Jupiter Jazz", or Spike repeatedly calling a two and a half million bounty in the very first episode a "small fry" who's not worth his time). However, the same sums probably seem more reasonable to Japanese viewers, since the Woolong's value was patterned on the Yen, making it uncertain if this can be considered an example of the trope.

comment
Brick Joke: In "Cowboy Funk", Faye and Jet fail to believe Spike's recounting of his run-in with Andy, saying the "cowboy character is completely unbelievable" but "if it were a samurai, then it might work". After being bested by Spike, Andy ditches his cowboy persona and becomes a samurai. Added to the dub, where Faye claims to be "delicate" in "Sympathy for the Devil". In "Waltz for Venus", she arrives to bail out Spike and fires all over the place at the villains. In "Heavy Metal Queen", Faye has to remove some high explosives from a wrecked ship. When told to be delicate with it, she replies "I'm not the delicate type". In the beginning scene of "Toys in the Attic", Spike takes a bite of a kebab and makes a face because it tastes awful. When he's suiting up to find the blob-monster pest, he spears a piece of meat on his sword and takes a bite out of it... and makes a face again. Two episodes after Big Shot is cancelled, Faye is in an airport and sees a familiar-looking black man talking to his mother. He's obviously Punch's actor, except he's dressed differently and no longer talking in a hokey fake accent. It's easy to miss unless you're paying close attention, though he does audibly allude to Judy's actress calling her manager, which she threatened to do when she learned the show got axed.

Perpetual Poverty: Either circumstances conspire to prevent capture of the bounty or there's so much collateral damage that, after all is said and done, they break even. It would be easier to name the episodes in which the crew does have money in which they don't. Hence the title of Yoko Kanno's slow acoustic guitar theme Forever Broke, played when the crew of the Bebop find themselves deep in the red and, more often than not, starving.
