"Do you understand?" - Wen
If I had to describe this episode in one word, it would be "enigmatic." The air of mystery about itself is far off more artistic than any episode prior, with little interest in reality. Admittedly, it plays within the confines of its own reality, as with all the best science fiction,
Cowboy Bepop uses its artistry and bold ideas to tell a sad story. We can boil this episode down in logistical terms the episode presents for us (Spike stops an ageless mobster in a young boy's body) or further engulf ourself in the essence of mystery clearly intended.
