Cowboy bebop spike drawing2/8/2024 ![]() ![]() This troper's perspective is that Chessmaster Hex originally planted those clues with the intent of taking credit (in some grand fashion, of course) for being right about the gates and letting it bite the corporate owners in the butt.while holding evidence that leads directly to his location? I mean it's clear he was The Chessmaster, but did he really expect to be senile in 50 years? He had random volunteers carry out the job of installing a computer virus on the gates. "Bohemian Rhapsody:" So Chessmaster Hex's big plan was to exploit a glitch in the gates' computers to steal people's money and drop it in hidden accounts.Which is double-tragic but sort of makes sense. At the end of the series, Spike lets go and is able to free himself. The way This Troper has heard it explained before is that Gren couldn't let go of his past and was so fixated on the war and Vicious.2, it seems as though it's Gren's "guardian star" that dies with him. Based on Bull's speech to Jet in The Real Folk Blues pt.But they never specify when the scene with the mystic takes place relative to everything else, so it still can fit.

After Gren's ship was sent away from Jupiter's orbit, it eventually found its way to Mars where it got caught in the gravity well and burned up like regular meteor. This troper has always interpreted the falling star definerently: Its not a representation of Gren's death, but being Gren him/herself.Well, for magical doctors being irkingly vague is part of their job description.Either way, it pretty much sucks, and brings us back to the insistent theory that even wise Magical Indian witch-doctors can be wrong, and Gren DID deserve to go to heaven or wherever, DAMMIT. So then, which "fallen warrior" did this refer to?. ![]() But then, remember, someone else died in that episode Spike's old friend and Vicious' henchman, Lin. The Wise Magical Native American Guru dude says something like "it's the soul of a fallen warrior - a pitiful soul, who could not find its way to the lofty realm that awaits us all." This originally was a Tearjerking Player Punch to this Troper, who finds Gren's death painful enough without being told he is a "pitiful soul" who doesn't even deserve /heaven/, or something. "Jupiter Jazz:" Aside from all of the other Gren-related "headscratchers" and spoilers.
