Well, this is it, the series finale and it is a tear jerker for real. One of the most legendary endings in anime history. A little fun fact for you. Here in the US back in the late 90s and early 00s there was the Toonami cartoon block which featured (mostly) anime. It was how a lot of us millennials first discovered anime through shows like Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z and Gundam Wing. Cowboy Bebop occasionally was part of the lineup (though usually in the late night Adult Swim category due to the more realistic violence and situations). The host of Toonami was a robot named Tom, who would introduce each show and take us into and out of the commercial breaks. Tom was voiced by Steve Blum, the same actor who voiced Spike. When Toonami ended the original run, the finale was this big "it's not goodbye, it's see you later" send off with Tom thanking us for sticking with him all these years, and his final word before the end was to quote Spike's final word: "Bang." You bet the tears flowed that night.

For this episode itself, Spike's lines about how he has one false eye, one eye that sees the present and the other the past. All series long we've been focusing on one eye at a time every time he had a flashback to his past. The camera would be a closeup of his one eye. Now it was a closeup of both eyes. His past had caught up with his present and now they were one in the same again.

You're gonna carry that weight 🥲

Yeah, this was the first TV show when I was young that made me cry at the end. I still get misty-eyed every time I rewatch it. I'm really excited for you to see the movie, and I really think you'll enjoy Samurai Champloo.

“Bang”

From the very beginning the show told you how it would end, if you were paying attention. I think we as viewers were just hoping the entire time we were wrong.

The quick backstory on the relationship between Julia, Spike, and Vicious. Spike and Vicious were comrades/friends, and Vicious and Julia were lovers. When Spike got badly injured Julia nursed him back to health, and they fell in love. When Vicious found out he wanted revenge. He offered Julia the chance to get out, but she had to kill Spike first. She chose to run instead.

I remember asking that some time before, and I reckon that she won't because she heard that it is very bad.
