But with the bebop crew in a fascinating location and a few teasers for what might be next, the show is poised to venture into uncharted spaces.

While Vicious has long been seen by Bebop Fans as Spike’s true archenemy, the Netflix adaptation ends its first season, with both being effectively neutered by Julia, who decided to take over the Syndicate, wounding both men in the process. It’s a twist that the series cleverly sets up in its penultimate episode, featuring flashbacks to Spike’s “Fearless” days that the anime never did.

Elena Satine tells Polygon that she was “very happy” to see her character Julia rise to power. And it’s a change Cowboy bebop

“[Spike] has to admit his own dilemma, to have made a bad choice, that will cost him dearly now, “said Nemec about the brutal last confrontation between Spike and Elena. “She earned the ability to put the hammer on this weapon and believe she was going to pull the trigger.”

Julia shoots Spike, but she doesn’t kill him – nor does she kill her husband Vicious. Not that he escapes with much: he ends season one as Juliet’s prisoner, who is kept alive at her discretion while she “speaks”. [his] Names “public for the syndicate business.

“We may see Vicious more broken than in the anime, or kind of pushed back into a corner and in a different way,” says Alex Hassell, the Vicious in. plays Cowboy bebop. “There is now the potential to move further removed from the anime’s story in relation to this character.”

Meanwhile, the machinations of Vicious and Juliet succeed in undoing all the family dynamics that have formed on board the Bebop. Faye finally gets a chance to find out who she is suffering from amnesia from cryosleep; Spike confronts his past when Vicious comes to kill him; Jet also anticipates Spike’s past after Vicious kidnaps his daughter for use as bait. While the trio (plus Jet’s daughter) come out of the last confrontation relatively unscathed, their fragile ecosystem is shaken. And so the three decide to go their separate ways – a particularly dark note to leave a world so full of vigor.

“It’s incredibly sad for me,” says John Cho of the final scenes of his character. “I’m really mad at Spike and that scene we shot when Jet was leaving … that was devastating right now.”

It’s something that he would like to see quickly resolved together with Daniella Pineda (Faye) and Mustafa Shakir (Jet) in a theoretical season 2. “Wherever we go, the jump will be so big because the crescendo was so big,” says Shakir.

You’re sure to face a huge leap in the appearance of Radical Ed, who brings Ein back and tells Spike to help her track down the “butterfly man” before he does “creepy, bad things”. Ed’s appearance is just a taste of what showrunner André Nemec is hoping to bring in Season 2 – namely, more of the original anime reworked in this new live-action room.

“In the early days, when you were in a writer’s room, it was ‘What’s your favorite episode and why?’ And put them on the board and look at them and say: We can’t tinker with all of these stories“Says Nemec. “So there are definitely moments, characters, scenes, parts, worlds that I desperately and desperately want to explore in the second season.”

While Pineda, Cho, and Shakir agree, one main hope for season two is that Jet will slide into a little less tightness.

“I want to see Jet taking a bath. This romper never goes out, man. ”
