At the end of the 1998 Cowboy Bebop anime, Spike Spiegel seems to die. But in the 2021 live-action adaptation, Spike Spiegel is alive and well.
Sadly, the live-action series failed to impress fans and got cancelled after just one season, just a few weeks since it premiered. Starting a show while keeping in mind its conclusion became a popular technique in television animes since 'Cowboy Bebop' first debuted in 1998.
Every story has to have an ending, and the second part of "The Real Folk Blues" is the end for Cowboy Bebop. Spike briefly reunites with Julia, only for her to be shot and die in his arms. Despite Faye begging him not to go, Spike heads off for a final showdown with Vicious that he will not return from.

Cowboy Bebop was one of the best animes of all time, but it never got a season 2. Netflix's adaptation can further explore its complex world.
One of the hottest debates about Cowboy Bebop is the nature of Spike and Faye's relationship. Many fans were surprised they didn't end up together considering their strong chemistry throughout the story.
Who does Spike wind up with? In both the musically-triumphant anime (which is set in 2071) and the polarizing Netflix adaptation, Spike winds up with no one. Sadly, the cig-smoking, green-haired bounty hunter never elopes with his dear Julia.
Frightened by the affection she began to feel for her companions, Faye decided to run away from the Bebop to follow her philosophy of "leave before being abandoned." With some of the money, she fled to Callisto, the Moon of fugitives, and met a man named Gren who proceeded to "rescue" her from a gang.
