** SPOILER ** In Cowboy Bebop, who else has noticed...

Post by Laven Atries » Mon Jan 20, 2003 5:59 pm

First, if you have not seen the end of Cowboy Bebop, I recomend NOT reading the rest of this post.




At the very end of the last episode of CB, after the final fight with Vicious, the song Blue plays and the credits role. Now, if you watch this all the way to the end, you will see a starfield after the credits have passed. If you watch just to the right of center, an especially bright star will appear from the top. As it nears the middle of the screen, it will grow brighter, and then fade away just before the screen goes to the white picture of Spike. I want to know how many other people here have noticed this last bit of symbolism(remember the indian mystic?). I didn't notice it until probably the 3rd or 4th time I saw it. It really lays to rest any doubts about whether Spike REALLY died or not. So, who else has seen this?

Spike says to Jet that everyone has their own star and that when that person dies, that star dies with them (or something like that). The star 'faded' out, implying that Spike died.

... or Vicious, or Faye or Jet... or Ed or Ein! (Ein doesn't get one!) or Ed AND Ein!! or even Gren or the Queen Penelope Gracey Mahoney Francisco Rodriguez the third from New York City!!

And in the 27th ep (Kazaa) it says 'You will see the real CB someday...'

I think Vicious would be considered a warrior worthy of a star as well. The fact that there is only one star means it could be just vicious dying.
The sword, it thirsts to drink of man,
The sword at last must win,
Today is gone, and yesterday,
Must echo in the wind.
