YMMV / Cowboy Bebop Session 14 "Bohemian Rhapsody"

• Magnificent Bastard: "Chessmaster" Hex was once a brilliant technological prodigy who designed the system behind the Astral Gates. Hex foresaw the dangers inherent in his system—a flaw that would later result in a cataclysm that cost over three billion human lives—only to be fired by the Gate Corporation. Hex concocted a revenge scheme to expose the Gate Corporation's corruption by exploiting the flaws in his own system to deposit countless amounts of the Gate Corporation's own funds into the hands of random bystanders. Hex's scheme is so meticulously plotted out it unfolds without a hitch fifty years after he had set it up, long after Hex has regressed into a senile old man who idles his days away playing chess. Completely untouchable in the end, Hex peacefully dies of old age with a final "checkmate," his vendetta long forgotten yet accomplished nonetheless.
