10!! Tropes:
11
12* FoodAsBribe: Spike happens upon the creator of the vest who offers to give it to them if he can bring him back some noodles that are no longer in production.
13* TheGhost: Vicious, he's heard through a phone call in Issue 1 and make a cameo in Issue 3 when explaining how the Red Dragons are involved in things but doesn't make an physical in-story appearance in the comic.
14* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: While on Cyllene, Faye gets into a card game and is revealed to be cheating. She makes to run, but the resident bear no ill will against her for it (due to the planet's atmosphere essentially making them high as a kite) to her chagrin. When she returns to the Bebop, she states her dissatisfaction of being unable to swindle anyone.
15* MythologyGag:
16** The first issue incorporates the lyrics of "Tank" at the beginning into the dialogue.
17** In Issue 2, one of the waiters at the cafe Faye goes to is design like Miles from the "Wild Horses" episode.
18** The planet Cyllene where Melville flees to could be consider one of the satellite boom town from "Bohemian Rhapsody" where most people come to just live an easy life free of trouble.
19* WindsOfDestinyChange: Essentially, the vest seems to grant it incredible luck, but in reality, it allows you to the probability of things in the Quantum Spectrum and allow you to react accordingly.
