Recap: Cowboy Bebop Session 22 Cowby Funk

Short Summary

The crew set their sights on a man named the Teddy Bomber, named so because of his motif of using bombs designed as teddy bears. However a bounty hunter dubbed Cowboy Andy has also set his sights on him, leading into a rivalry between Spike and Andy.

Long Summary


  • Bowdlerise: Jet's hippie costume at the costume party originally has a picture of a marijuana plant on the shirt. When [adult swim] aired the episode (after pulling it on the heels of the 9/11 attacks), the marijuana plant was digitally changed to a peace symbol (in one of the few digital replacement edits on Cartoon Network — or any channel — that didn't look painfully obviousnote ).
  • Elevator Failure
  • Graceful Loser: Andy after Spike accidentally and nearly sends him falling off a building.
  • Ignored Enemy: Constantly with the Teddy Bomber when Spike and Andy start fighting on another.
  • Inspector Javert: Cowboy Andy mistakes both Spike and Jet on separate occasions of being the Teddy Bomber... even with the real Teddy Bomber standing right next to them both times.
  • Mad Bomber: The Teddy Bomber
  • Not So Different: Spike and Andy, both Jet and Faye lampshade it and in the end even Spike admits they're pretty similar
  • Samurai Cowboy: Bit of a variant. Andy starts out as a cowboy but after Spike "beats" him. His switches his motif to that of a samurai.
  • Second Person Attack: When Faye get the drop on the Teddy Bomber near the end of the episode
  • Too Soon: Was cut from the initial [adult swim] broadcast as it featured a terrorist bombing buildings (one of which looked like a futuristic take on the Twin Towers).
