The ragtag team comprised of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Radical Ed is heavily adored for their endearing pseudo-family dynamic. She acts as a stark contrast to the world around her-her blond hair, bright red umbrella and automobile stand out in the otherwise drab environments that she inhabits.Īfter meeting Faye Valentine by coincidence, Julia is reunited with Spike.

This time when Spike leaves, he is not coming back because he has finally completed his journey.Julia is the love interest of Spike Spiegel from the anime series Cowboy Bebop. Spike sees himself as the tiger-striped cat who has loved and lost his white cat. The protagonist lives many lives until he learns humility, and only then can he be released from this earth. Except for this time, he didn’t come back to life.' It is a classic tale of reincarnation. The tiger-striped cat cried a million times, and then he died too. Spike concludes, 'The white cat grew weak and died of old age. He drifts from place to place, living a million lives and not caring about anything until he meets a white cat. It's about a vagabond cat whose stripes look more like a prison jumpsuit than tabby stripes. Spike then offers the story about a tiger-striped cat, a Buddhist children's story called Hyakumankai Ikita Neko. Again, Spike says his cooking is awful, and the two share a laugh. Jet whips up some bell peppers and beef, sans beef, just like in episode one. He wakes, shocked to see Spike, who only nonchalantly says he's starving. Back on the Bebop, Jet tosses uncomfortably in his sleep.
