| It was also good to see the crew actually get bounties. I was worried all we'd see is them coming oh-so-close each time. I would have liked to see more of the guy. It was sad that he got the idea of Spike's fighting style but died in the end. :( |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| I'm a huge Cowboy Bebop fan (even going so far as to create a website to analyze its symbols/themes-- see below) so don't get me wrong-- but the guiding principal of this series seems to be that you simply cannot have too much of a good thing. Spike & co can never hit the huge bounty jackpots and even when they do come across something nice they gamble it away (#4 Gateway Shuffle, anyone?). The minute something nice happens, they lose it by some conspiracy of the cosmic karma order. Likewise, this poor guy gets the idea of Spike's fighting style and promptly dies. :( |

| finally, they actually made some money. though it was only chump change compared to the amounts they normally discuss. |
| That was such a good episode. Nice to see a series that's not afraid to kill off its characters. Very touching. |
 |
| Very good ep imo, very emotional :) We see that Spike is a very good person, who does not put money in the first place. |
| No sig :( |
| sweet ironic episode. awww, i almost cried. |
 |
| I knew the guy was going to die in the beginning and then I just forgot about that. Finally when it came time I didn't see it coming. That's one hell of an episode! |
| I loved that guy.. too bad he died =/ |
| That guy was really cool and brave for doing what he was doing to help his sister. Plus, it was funny hearing Spike's voice high-pitched because of the helium. xD |
     |
| man i got goosebumps because of this episode...this and ep5 were by far the best yet... 5/5 PS:at last that Edward guy appears next episode :-) |

supersayen said: I'm surprised she didn't stop and say "WTH" and instead gets the information out of them.lol at those 2 guys doing naughty things before faye arrived xD Pretty good episode. I felt that man helping out his sister was gonna die anyway since he looked like the type to go to the extreme to get what he needs . |
| This was a really great episode. It was quite a ride and I didn't see any of it coming. I like it when an show suprises me. Very exciting. |
| He was blissfully smiling in the middle of a gunfight. He had it coming... |
| I'm surprised she didn't think of anything about the two guys having sex. >_> Maybe she's seen alot of that. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| The best episode so far! The blind girl was so sweet and it was very touching hearing the last words from that guy. I though it was funny when he stopped to pee and the whole gang was there, bad luck at its finest. ^.^ |

| He did so much for her sister, when what the sister only wanted was her brother. Now she doesn't have him anymore. Really sad story with a tragic ending, the guy was a nice character, but found what many youngsters these days find: wrong opportunities and bad choices. We get some hints on Spike's fighting style, pretty cool btw. One thing that bothered me this episode, how can they even approach Venus? The hottest planet on the solar system, no matter how advanced of a technology they must've got. Details though, I can overlook it. Oh, the guys actually made some money this time around. I guess they can only manage it when the bounty isn't the focus of the episode :P See You Space Cowboy... |

| Spike is such a beast. This episode made me sad, especially with that beautiful melody from the music box. |
| Yea this show rules |
| Not a bad episode, I also heard that this one was preempted on Adult Swim channel after a similar scene involving the 9/11 attacks. |
 |
| Finally, the crew is able to snag a bounty. And Faye, what a bad ass. |
| This is definitely my favorite episode so far. I love the fighting style that spike uses, it reminds me of Wu Shu and Bruce Lee ^^ I was really happy to see that they actually claimed up on some bounty this time :D It's always been about them getting close then losing it right when they had it in their hands. |
| Why did he have to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!? |
 |
| Great episode but sad ending :( |
 |
| They finally got a bounty! |
 |
| This really shows Spike has a good heart, despite his somewhat apathetic demeanor. It almost made me cry, but at least his wish for his sister to get better came true. |
 |
| Bounty at last..! Dammit Roko you idiot , take cover !! :( |
| great episode but I'd like to know how they made Venus habitable: it's close to the sun, it has an atmosphere of almost pure carbon dioxide and huge clouds of sulfuric acid. But great episode nonetheless. |
| 天の神 El. Psy. Congroo. |
| Definitely by far my favorite episode so far. |
| Whoa, Spike actually quoted Bruce Lee "You have to be fluid, like water". The gay scene caught me a little bit off guard. The feels were strong in this episode. |
 |
| Yeah,it was an ordinary boring Bebop episode whatever. But I've got to mention something else. Firstly,You know,they went to Venus in this eps and you may have realized that the place,atmosphere and some lines on walls reminds you that this eps was influenced by Arabic culture,but actually it is incorrect.(You know,there were some Arabic words on the walls during the episode) The places that the episode showed actually were taken from Istanbul(Turkey)and it is not an Arabic country and not even under the effect of Arabic culture so much. Secondly,it was shown like all local people only smoke in cafes and are indecent.That is also not true. On the other hand,there were some good aspects in this episode to.Stella serving tea to Spike was a really good one.Serving tea to one's guest is a very basic and good custom of Turkish people. I've just wanted to clarify these points.Don't get me wrong,I am not against these anime and Arabic culture.I hope no one will be offended what I wrote about. Sorry,if there is grammar mistake |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
 this can never be unseen.. damn! why did they have to be gays? one of them could've been a woman for fuck's sake |
 |
| That was a very touching episode. Even though Roco was just introduced in this episode, his character had enough depth to draw the sympathy of the audience. T_T P.S: Now I see why people say Samurai Champloo is similar to Cowboy Bebop. This episode reminded of that episode in SC where Fuu met a young pickpocket. |
