Grannysaurus: The funny new illustrated children’s picture book, full of dinosaurs, from number-one bestselling author David Walliams! by David Walliams – eBook Details Before Spike and Faye part ways for the last time, Spike opens up about the truth behind his eyes, bringing them closer than they've ever been before. And that's why Faye is so devastated by his departure, knowing full well that he won't be returning alive. So there is no real answer here, and perhaps that's for the best. Spike has always existed somewhere between life and death, sleep and wakefulness, so it's rather fitting that his end should remain just as ambiguous. Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe always planned to end the show with this confrontation. "Even before I made the first episode, I already had the ending in mind," he told The Daily Texan in 2006. "Even though I had the ending in mind by myself, I was opposed by my staff. They were upset because they were saying that we wouldn't be able to make a continuation." But hope is fleeting, and soon after they're reunited, Julia dies in a shootout with the Syndicate. "It's all a dream," says Julia as she falls slowly to the ground, almost as if she's floating, weightless. Just like Spike, she too has struggled to connect with the waking world since they were separated from one another.

Did Spike survive to lift himself up and let go of his pain? Or was his fire extinguished like the star that fades out right above him in the night sky?

Before he became a bounty hunter, Spike worked for the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate alongside a man named Vicious. During their time together, Spike fell in love with his partner's girlfriend, Julia, and the two had an affair. When they wanted to run away together, Vicious told Julia that she would have to kill Spike or he'd kill them both. But of course, she was unable to do that, so instead, Julia went into hiding. Bereft, Spike feels more alone than he ever thought possible, and that's why his goodbye talks with Jet and Faye hurt so much. Because it's so obvious to us that he isn't alone at all, that these connections really do matter.

The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. I guess you could say I don't think they'd get along very well," which is pretty heartbreaking when you think about it, because that means Jet would have been left alone in his grief, assuming of course that Spike did indeed die. In his own way, Jet tried to dissuade Spike from this whole debacle by telling his version of Ernest Hemingway’s "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", a story that ends with the protagonist considering his own mortality. "I hate stories like that," says Jet at the end. "Men only think about the past right before their death. As if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive." For a show about misfit drifters who physically drift through space, Shinichirō Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop is very much concerned with weight, specifically the weight of the past, and how it bears down on the four main characters. But by the end, each of our favourite bounty hunters finds a way to either push past this or eventually succumb to their individual trauma, consumed by the weight of what's come before. Walliams said: “This is my most imaginative picture book yet and I am thrilled that Adam Stower is doing the hard work of illustrating it. I adored his work on Little Monsters and Marmalade. At night when children go to bed the dinosaurs come out to play! They disco dance until dawn. Or do they? I hope this will be the perfect book for bedtime.”

At that point, it really does look like the pair might find a way to stop Vicious and finally be free to live out the rest of their lives in peace, perhaps aboard the Bebop with the rest of Spike's new "family".
