He was willing to let it go, but he knew he had to confront it in order to save Jet and Faye. Read more into it if you like. There's an interesting explanation on the second to last episode.
Well he often feels like the life he actually wanted is over anyway, so he really can't care less about what's gonna happen to him now. Once again, pretty easy to relate there..
Sooooo, is literally NOBODY gonna talk about the absolutely fantabulous, astonishing, and utterly beautiful harmonica in the background towards the end. That alone would make any scene for me
@@PromotedPawn this. It may stand out here as this scene has been uploaded to RUclips but when you watch the series in its entirety it’s absolutely drenched with slow moments of serenity backed up by beautiful music. Doesn’t make it any less brilliant but you get used to it.
Definitely one of my favorite endings to any of the episodes. Spike's attitude about the entire situation, at the end, is atmospheric and serene. In college I got a B+ is Philosophy 101. Had I watched Cowboy Bebop instead of going to class, I probably would've aced it.
I entirely live by this phrase. Not in the Spike way - living as though you're already dead and living on borrowed time - but instead accepting the bad and making the most of what I'm given.
His attitude during this episode shows a massive amount of trust in Doohan and Jet. I think that's why he so readily accepted whatever was going to happen
Spikes expressions are perfect. At first he's naturally nervous, then he just sinks into the fact that he could die and let's that take him over with a smile and a drag of his cigarette. After that, he lands and starts the boring part: Having survived a situation. Everyone else is pretty happy with it, but waiting for a pick up in the middle of the desert while listening to the radio, stuck with an old friend and a third wheel, this is *not* spikes type of situation. Because it's boring, and he's not necessarily "happy" to be alive.
@@JDog2656 If you've ever been in that situation then I'd think you'd get it. Takes a certain mindset to end up disappointed with surviving after accepting you may die. I came within mere hours of death once and I pretty much accepted it, never really feared dying. I had always hoped I'd die a painless death before the age of 18 and I nearly got my wish. Went to sleep in the ambulance comfortable with the idea that I might not wake up. And then I woke up in a hospital in St. Louis and spent the next 3 weeks in bed attached to an IV and not allowed to eat or drink anything for most of the time there, got it all through the IV. And then it was time to go back home and continue as if nothing ever happened. The consequence of surviving. It's like some sort of mental exhaustion to live after expecting to die. And for people who routinely get into that situation, like say in a war, I imagine it really starts to wear on you.
@@MintyLime703 I personally have never been in that situation, and I thank you for sharing that story. I recognize that I may not ever fully understand that mindset and how it can affect someone, including you, being the ignorant fool that I am. That said, I hope to learn as much as I can from stories like yours and this, so that if that day ever comes, I can better prepare myself and face it with greater respect and wisdom.
Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying - Bruce Lee

Currently it's March, 2020. Coronavirus is a pandemic and I'm being coming more and more fearful. But tonight I've remembered this quote from Spike and it's strangely cheered me up.
I think that this character that is Spike Spiegel has been the main influence of my carefree attitude in high school and college. And it's both a curse and a blessing. Because it has made accept things that I have no control over which sometimes makes me seem like the type of person who can't be bothered. Oh the feels.
I love the way it transitions to the photos and shows Spike and Dohan frustrated while the young ones acting all brave after just shitting himself. Kills me every time 😂😂
Man, I wish I could be half the man that Spike is. “Whatever happens, happens.” I wish I could have that kind of cool and calm in tense situations. It would make life much easier to get through.
you have to give up your will to live and hinge your entire existence on the possibility of being with one specific person and then give up entirely when it doesnt work out
@@lillol3245im quite the opposite at 21, my life feels really fulfilling and happy when i let go of everything i cant control. i guess theres two types of the “it is what it is” mindset, ones pretty healthy and is what things like stoicism taoism buddhism strive for, the other is the lack of a will to live and thats pretty depressing
Honestly if you face reality like that a lot of anxiety and extra tension that we end up bearing will go away , 10/10 recommended. ofcourse do it after you have tried your best.
Not necessarily. You could also be working your ass off, then worrying what the result may become. By detaching yourself from the outcome you become mentally free of this type of control. Thats why the „whatever happens, happens“
I don't think I've ever seen any other show have the _balls_ to *not* show the final, big risky event at the end. This is fantastic. It shows us that it's not just about what happens. This sequence is about Spike overcoming his obstacles. Whatever isn't under his control isn't the focus of the scene. He can't do anything about it, so he just chills out and relaxes.
@@thatguybob6088this was a whole year ago but it really put words to my thoughts on the show. i always felt like it was a dream but could never figure out why
I am generally a very anxious person. I am working on it. I hope, when the time comes, I'll be able to face death with the same calmness and dignity Spike did in this moment.
I'm mostly a sub type of dude, but you need to watch this anime in dub, theirs no in between, this is the type of anime to only watch in dub because it just makes sense.
