| I like Ed. This was on the sadder side during this series. |
 |
| After seeing this episode I just felt Empty... Kinda sad. Best Episode in this series |
 |
| Ein will be missed if he doesn't come back. |
 |
| Now I can kinda see why this anime is loved. I'm not crying,,, you're crying! |
 |
| Great soundtrack and we get some more backstory for Faye and Ed before they leave. Looks like the last two episodes will be about Spike, makes sense I guess. |
| It's funny cuz Ed's father is the only guy that spike couldn't beat lol. The ending scene where Faye is trying to remember her past while Ed and Ein leaving was sad. Also, the music was very well placed. And in the end it finished just how it started. Definitely one of the best ones in the series. |

| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| This episode was sad, and i feel like the series will become more and more sad. Almost the end and i don't know how to feel about it :| |
| Ed's father name is turkish and with correct spelling it is: Afedersiniz, hesap lütfen which literally translates to: "Excuse me, check please!" and that is pretty random and cool =) |
| I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING! Even the third time around, this episode still hits me right in the feels. Definitely among the better episodes, even if it has quite the opposite of closure - but in a way that's one of the central messages of the anime, isn't it? There are some things that don't work out, that don't come to neat conclusions. You just have to find your place in the world, make do with what you have, find happiness or whatever it may be... and not be tied down by your past. And oh boy does that contrast with the next two-parter. In a way, it almost is like a three-parter. I think this episode sets a lot of things up, even if it isn't directly related to the story. Man, I love Cowboy Bebop. |
| A fantastic episode. That bye bye at the end was really sad. ED got to be with her Father and Faye found out things about her past. Now there are two. Only 2 more episodes. |
 |
| I was sad to see Ed go :'( I hope we get to see her again, maybe in the final episode. |
| I feel so sad and empty right now. I didn’t think they’d leave before the big finale, it really caught me off guard. Had some real tears in my eyes at the end there. |
| Definitely sad to see both Ed and Ein go, and judging by the look of it so are Jet and Spyke. Spyke complaining about hating dogs, women with attitude and pets not too long ago really goes to show that just because you've become used to loneliness it doesn't mean you really like it. franticbisque said: That's a good one, they actually started the show barely scraping for food. I personally felt that since talking about food and being hungry has been a recurring theme and motivation to hunt for bounties in the series eating all those eggs was a bitter catharsis for Spike and Jet: for once they had all they could eat but finding that it wasn't satisfactory when the others were gone. I kinda miss the type of "free like the wind" characters like Ed, while they were more popular in the past, it seems like we don't get them in anime and manga anymore. But Faye drawing a bed on the ground for herself was really the most heartbreaking part. I didn't really focus on it before, since Faye didn't seem to dwell on this, but waking up in a time where there isn't a single person you know must be one of the worst things. Without a single relationship in the world one would be like a log adrift in the ocean. |
  |
| Looking back this is probably one of the saddest anime episodes because you kinda knew that its gonna end very soon, the song at the end just completed this whole thing perfectly |
| Ed and Ein are my two favorite characters from here, I wasn't expecting they would go now, although I imagined Ed could right before the "bye bye" message. Excellent episode. |
 |
| The beginning of the end. I think Ed and Ein knew on an instinctual level that it was time to break up the band. Sad times. |
| Even if one somehow dislikes all this, you just can’t deny these atmospheric vibes man... I’m onto the last episodes here but I’m going to take away my favourite part of this series it’s gotta be the little moments of our favourite alpha male spike. Like in this episode, just brushing his teeth on a battered ship among the sunken ruins of earth.... *chefs kiss*. Or just chowing down on some fookin hard boiled eggs with jet. Quality right there |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| One question, why did the syndicate turn on Spike? Was it because Vicious was planning revenge or a take over and Spike associated with Vicious? |
| finally not standalone episode but story episode. fray decides to investigate her past and ed is looking for her father, couldn't asked for more. wonder if fray decides to stay on earth or something... |
| I hate when a franchise's main cast is separated like that, it always makes feel sad... But it's often for the best, and here, it seems to be the case, at least when it comes to Ed. But what about Faye ? Yes, she remembers her past but everything has moved on without her, so is she going to be fine ? |
 |
| Wasn't really that impactful story-wise but the aesthetics and music were damn near peak of the series, which kinda redeemed what impact this episode lacked. |
 |
| great episode... i just cried... :') truly bitter sweet |
i wish i was a cloud |
| A great episode right before things wrap up. I liked learning more about Faye and Ed's backstory, but it was sad to see them leave. Although, I'm assuming they'll show up again in the final episode. If I was Faye I definitely would've stayed to ask more questions, but I guess she wasn't thinking clearly. And Ed's father doesn't seem like a very reliable person. Oh, and that scene with Spike and Jet eating those eggs made me gag, lol. Looking forward to see how this ends. |
| Well people spoiled the ending of this show for me somewhat so I’m kind of sad about that. Oh well. Anyway the show is good, just a bit boring I think. I’m curious to see how it will end. |
| In general, the entire finale of Bepop was a complete pushover. So much mystery around vicious, Julia, and Spice. Only to end up with a half-baked Hollywood buster that barely made it in terms of content. And honestly "SPOILER" - |

I want every minute of screentime back where they talked about her. Likewise, the ending of Spice, what a waste. I couldn't perceive the slightest emotion in the episode, and it wasn't because of the adaptation's execution.

| Nooo not EdTvT. But I'm glad that Ed found her father and Faye came to know about her past. I'm gonna miss them and hopefully they'll return in the final episode. |
|
| This episode has the best musical score of the series |
| Uwaaaa are these... tears? And so the Bebop is back to how it was in the beginning... With just the two of them. What a melancholic vibe this whole episode was. Although there were some really sweet parts to it. I'll miss Ed and Ein... E.E... |
 |
| This was fucking sad man. OSTs were just phenomenon this episode. |
 |
| People come and go. Contentment becomes nostalgia. The present becomes the past. Such is the way of life portrayed by Cowboy Bebop - that nothing is permanent. Even Ed and her radiant, chaotic energy had to move on eventually. And Faye, having finally confronted her past, is now pondering what she truly wants to do with her life. In the meantime, Spike and Jet are have an eggcellent dinner. Ok, I'm sorry. But if anything, the post me above is right. Eating those eggs was definitely a means of catharsis for them. Yeah, that's right - even Spike, the epitome of coolness and nonchalance, feels hollow with Ed gone. But is moving on truly better? Ed's future, after all, is very unpredictable. Who knows whether she'll be able to maintain a healthy relationship with her so-called "father". Who knows if she and Ein will live long lives. But that's exactly how life works - it's unpredictable, ironic, and fleeting. A lot of us merely drift through it, grasping at the things that fulfill us. And for many of us it's a sense of belonging, like Faye says. Anyway, things are really starting to wrap up here. Everyone seems to be confronting their pasts, and it looks like Spike is next. I'm interested to see on what note Cowboy Bebop intends to end on, although I'm sure it'll be something that reinforces its existential themes. |
| Man this episode just brought tears to my eyes, just seeing Ed and Faye leave just hit me hard. Phenomenal episode honestly. |
 |
| Just Spike and Jet left 😔 |
 |
| Both of them leaving was unexpected, I thought only Faye would leave. |
 |
| Everyone is leaving the crew, first Faye and now Ed with Ein. The good bye message Ed wrote got me emotional. now the crew is back to only Jet and Spike |
