“Spike dies.”

Were you looking for Redundancy? Or maybe how Spike dies because he dies in the final episode?
| Warning. This Article contains the spoiler that Spike dies, so, if you don't want to find out that Spike dies (which he does), don't read it. Because he does. |

[edit] Plot leading up to the death of Spike
The plot is about two cowboys, Spike and Jet, who drive cattle across the stars, while playing their own blend of bebop music. The story is mainly concerned with the events leading up to the death of Spike, the main character, who dies at the end of the show.
Jet does not die in the show, and neither does Faye (the requisite scantily-clad woman), nor does Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (the underage girl who lives with two unrelated men and a half-naked woman alone onboard a spaceship), nor does Ein (the WonderDog™), but Spike dies.
The TV series ends when Spike, the main character, is killed. The last scene is of him dying. No one knows what happens to his friends, who are still alive, and who did not die, like he did.
A Cowboy Bebop movie was made, however, Spike does not die here. This is because the movie takes place a few episodes before the final episode. If it took place after the final episode, it wouldn't make much sense, because then Spike would already be dead.
[edit] Characters
Spike Spiegel[5] (aka the titular Cowboy Bebop)
A space cowboy who, up until his death, drives cattle across the galaxy. His life comes to an end at the end of the show. The attempt of the Elric Brothers to revive him is told in a spinoff series called Fullmetal Alchemist. Unlike Spike, neither of the main characters are dead at the end of the series (this is a lie).
Jet Black
A Black man who isn't really black at all. A descendant of the 20th Century Earth thief Daisuke Jigen, he is a cowboy and Spike's partner. He is still alive at the end of the series, unlike Spike, who ceases-to-be quite gruesomely.
Faye Valentine
A woman who dresses like a prostitute and loves bukkake, and, seeing as she lives on a spaceship with two single, unrelated men, probably really is a prostitute. She was Spike's heavily-implied-sometime-lover, until he died at the end of the series. Faye did not die, unlike Spike, who perishes when he falls down some stairs.
Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV.
Absolutely nothing I put here can possibly be as strange the character herself.... ah hell, let's try anyway. A seven foot tall, 10,000 year-old ex-basketball player, Hindu guru gay alien. Also a cyborg, called "The One", capable of controlling any computer. She went missing as of late 1998, and was last seen in the company of two shifty looking men. Alive at the end of the series, unlike Spike, who meets an untimely end.
Ein
The WonderDog™. Was stolen property confiscated from a Bandito by Spike, who decided to keep it instead of returning it to its owner. Was named "Ein" because that was the name on the dog food dish that Spike bought for it. Is still animate at the end of the series, unlike Spike, who is dead as a door nail.
Vicious
The main villain of the series. In the end he kills Spike, by chopping open the man's chest. Vicious himself also dies, just like Spike who dies at the end of the show.
Julia
She dies by eating pop rocks and drinking Pepsi at the same time, she dies in the same episode that Spike dies; Spike's original lover... no before death, you sicko!
Spike's corpse
A new character introduced to the series when Spike dies. Plays a major role in Fullmetal Alchemist as the homunculus Sloth.
[edit] Trivia
- Spike dies at the end of the show.
- Spike, though dead, later appeared in a feature film and video game. This has compelled many to consider that Spike is not in fact dead, but simply a fictional character. However, this has been largely discounted.
- Spike doesn't live.
- Due to the screen going black after the ending credits, many have speculated that Spike is shot by a man in a Members Only jacket. However others believe that he is still alive. They obviously have not heard that Spike is dead. Did you know that yet?
- Spike, at the end of the show, dies.
- The word "death" appears 10 times on this page. The word "die/dies" appears 40 times. Upon the reading of this statement, the joke, like Spike, is long dead.
[edit] On Spike Dying
Tip
If you watch the last episode, you will get to see Spike dying.
It is widely agreed upon that Spike dies at the end of the series.[6]
“Spike dies.”
“The series is spectacular, ahh.. really, something amazing. I thought I'd written it, at first. I soon realized, of course, that it could not have been mine.. sigh.. as I've never directed a children's program. Its still very good though... Oh, and Spike dies at the end.”
“The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. The same cannot be said about Spike Spiegel.”
“People die when they are killed, like Spike did at the end of Cowboy Bebop.”
~ Shiro Emiya
“Bang.”
~ Spike's last words, which he spoke before dying at the end of the series. He promptly fell down and died after saying this.
[edit] Critical Reaction to Cowboy Bebop
Unlike the larger body of mainstream anime, which, unlike Cowboy Bebop, do not feature the death of Spike, Cowboy Bebop is fairly free of annoying, bitchy female characters, tiresome "chibi" segments, and protagonists alive at the end. This unprecedented level of quality led to its banning in Japan, and an official apology from the Emperor to Otaku worldwide. However, despite its critics, it started a new trend for anime where the main character dies at the end of the show, like Spike, who happens to die in Cowboy Bebop.
