| Now that is a plot twist a hermaphrodite character. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Stylish episode. The ending was surprising. 5/5 |
 |
| Good episode, and a nice atmosphere. |
 |
| I love how this series played with sexual/gender boundaries. NOOO, Spike! |
  |
| this is weird! this episode had weird stuff |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Man, totally great episode. And two-parter :) The music was amazing, the animation superb, and the fluidity of spike's fight scene was really cool. Glad to see Vicious again. He has a great English voice IMO, so dark, deep and serious sounding. Seems we're about to learn a bit more about Spike's background next ep, with his old friend/partner (possibly?), the one who shot him and is now protecting Vicious. Spike definitely acted as if they had a background. Im guessing Spike is wearing some sort of armor or maybe even a pot under his sweater, as I kept noticing it looked poofy, and then when it zoomed out from him being shot it showed no blood, which doesnt really make sense as since we all know this show is not afraid to show any (or any boobs for that matter xD). And yeah, "Mr. Sax" surprised me, haha. Also, I really liked the philosophical undertones, like when Faye and Mr. Sax were talking about leaving friends and being lonely while still being in a group and all of that. It was really cool. Good scenes, really stylized in the best possible "noir" way. why was jet smiling when he was arguing with spike? kinda sad seeing them fight like that honestly. And Ed's growing on me with her silly and innocent antics. |

| Dat ending doe. XD Loved the saxophone music in it. |
 |
| I have seen this particular series several times now and always seem to enjoy it a little bit more each time I watch it. An often overlooked theme in this show is the music. It really sets the tone and provides an immense amount of emotion and ambiance to the story. Particularly digging the Jazz saxophone in this episode. Its also the first time we get to see a clear depiction of the connection and relationship between Vicious and Spike. Excellent stuff. |
 |
| Sometimes they return, but when they do, the story and storytelling take on a whole different flavor. While these have enjoyable anime series, when it resumes slide the main plot, it is even better, however OST and characters, are always great. The fabulous cliffhanger, I can not wait, but I have to. I knew the guy was hiding something strange, but this series always manages to surprise me, here is a Cowboy Bebop's strength. |
 |
| Pretty good episode. Took me by surprise with the reveal of Grens boobs. Obviously Spike isn't dead though. The main character never dies. 4/5 |
  |
| wanna see some screentime for julia c: |
 |
| Very Awesome Fight scene And Amazing episode 5/5 |
 |
| Episode went from 0 to 100 quickly. |
| Very good episode. I always like winter settings. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Wow, nice sax jazz man, smooth~ The end! Gren has both parts, unexpected, he was such a handsome man ... but he has boobs ... hmmm, sooo ... But I'm sure this anime must've broken many boundaries at the time of release. I watched half not many years later. But I don't remember that. But Spike meets Vicious again and Jet hunting for Julia! D: |
 |
| Heh, for those of you who thought the gay sex scene was before its time, we now get a biological intersex character. Lots of surprises for a 90s anime. |
 |
| bruh, at the shower scene I was so confused |
| Vicious is back, finally. |
 |
| Awesome episode! The story have become better and better. |
| Both. I'd definitely say he/she is more both then neither.Yep, definitely. |
| Wtf he's hemaphrodite lmaoooo. I wasn't expecting that. |
| 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 |
| If Faye lied with Gren would it be straight or gay? Lol |

| The sax playing in the background just elevates everything through the roof... VIBES man |

| Definitely does a good job setting up for part two, with the team falling out and an intriguing story setup. I was surprised to see Spike go down so easily, and that reveal with Mr. Sax definitely caught me off guard. On a side not, obviously this series plays fast and lose with realism. But I would expect the sky to be a bit darker on Callisto. |
| I wish the models and shades were always as good as they are in this episode. Faye looks much sexier than usual. |
| I guess Gren is either a woman with a pretty boy face or Gren's a hermaphrodite. Faye thighs looked rather hot this episode (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)  This is also the first proper arc in the series. |

| I didn't think Vicious would have survived that explosion from EP5, but he did. Loved the tension buildup through this episode. |
 |
| Cool cliffhanger So he was trans? |
| Fuck. This just got interesting for me. |
| If part 1 was so good, then I can only imagine kino awaiting us in part 2 (aka the next episode)! |
| The music is too good in this movie. Gen is a hermaphrodite haha I absolutely wasn’t expecting that since he is a very attractive character. |
 |
| ngl that lad was a gal. |
 |
| One of favorite episodes vicious is goddamn badass  LOTS OF GAY Spike and Jet break up like an old married couple.  Spike gets hit on by a crossdressing gay guy. And Faye gets hit on by a transgender person.  Could or could not be a guy, so gay. Faye is Gay. And hot damn it feels like Spike is angry Vicious cheated on him with Julia.  Then there is Lin who acts like more than Vicious's bodyguard. Like you know what I mean, he acts like a love martyr. And Lin and Spike have a past. Grennnnnnnnnnn<->VICIOUS. wtf someone bring some rainbows here |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Cowboy Bebop has been getting progressively better as it goes on, especially since Episode 8. |
| the letter seemed too heartfelt for someone like Faye, and in fact... even if it seems waaaaaaaaaay too soon for everyone to go away already. "even i can't understand myself" damn, it hits hard. "Are you Vicious?" no... the absolute last words to tell to Spike. He even reacted like Onizuka in the very first GTO screen. Don't you dare diss Punch and Judy... |
 |
| Bro... I mean... I didn't expect that one |
 |
| Don't even know what to comment on Julia. Looks feminine enough, I guess? |
