Cowboy Bebop - Ballad of Fallen Angels fight

[BoyWhoLikesTV]

A true ladies man.

[TheMitch485]

@strife93 I watch the show with subs as I can speak abit of Japanese (though not enough to understand the story, hence subs). For me Spike's dubbed voice sounds like an action man; his Japanese one sounds fatalistic, like he's following Bushido and waiting to die in battle.

I'll admit I'm bias though; I lived in Japan so enjoy hearing the language and all its sounds and intonations. I just think the dub loses the subtlety of the original.

[Kwendtster]

@GreenGearMood You are just straight stupid and your opinion has no meaning here, troll. If you don't like it, don't post about it. Simple.

[GreenGearMood]

This is everyone's favorite episode. Which annoys me. I was watching JO's top 10 bebop episode video and saying repeatedly "Put ANYTHING but Ballad of Fallen Angels at #1. Just don't. For fuck sake. Pick something else."

:I I don't get the PULL of this particular episode. I hate the cookie-cutterness of Vicious. He's just a grinning douche who spouts HEAVY-HANDED POETRY. I could've come up with his persona, but I would've done it ironically. Vincent was leagues more interesting.

[Machammerballs]

This sounds so fucking horrible in dubbed - so fucking goofy, the pure power of this scene is ruined in english.

[gamingguy90]

@Machammerballs I couldn't disagree more. I find the English dub of this show to be superior to the subs. The voices fit better, the dialog is fantastic, and it's one of the greatest dubs ever.

[Machammerballs]

@gamingguy90 Agree to disagree my friend. To me the English sounds wooden and detracts, that said, if you enjoy the show dubbed = good for you man, it;s a rad show either way.

[phoniexkai]

@gamingguy90 thank u

[atmhso]

@Machammerballs The creator has said he considers the English dub to be the definitive version of the show.

[Machammerballs]

@atmhso Well, I'm very proud of him, while I do doubt that's accurate. It still sounds bad. They voice actors sound like they're just reading lines.

[strife93]

@Machammerballs A suppose you're one of those people who assume that you're smarter because you watch foreign films with subtitles.

[AFMountaineer2000]

I love me some Bebop, even the episodes that seem meaningless and don't have any chracter development are still good to watch.

[thebebop1000]

this is the episode that gets you hooked into the rest of the series

[DimwittedDinobot]

"i"m just watching a bad dream I never wake up from"

[MrBluewatson]

so fuckin epic!!!!!!!

[groente12]

With all due respect but all those animes youre guys saying are just animes. Cowboy Bebop is not only the best animated show. But is one of the best tv/serie in entertaiment history.

[krayziekracka104]

definately my favorite scene ever

[vistasocal]

I love it when music sync perfect with a scene

[WeTeenForever]

this is my favorite episode i actually thought this was the end

[depthruins2k39]

Vicious: When angels are forced out of Heaven, they become devils. You agree, don't you Spike.

[DarkPriestessDemon]

y did vicious turn bad i dnt get it

[jcouch5252]

@DarkPriestessDemon are you mentally impaired, or just a bad troll?

[Maxaker67]

this is one of those series you can watch again, and again.....and again...

[JibsawProduccionesTM]

What does spike says at 7:30 ??

[TheKillerone420]

@JibsawProduccionesTM "you sing off Key"

[batus111]

@JibsawProduccionesTM YOU SING OFF KEY!

[DarkTypeMarth]

What I love about this is that it's not about nudity and sexual references like 70% of Animes (not that some of them aren't good, but I hate how many there are these days), it's about having a great story with great characters and best of all... Great dub!

[brinpol]

@DarkTypeMarth The Faye fanservice aside ;) Actually, 70% is a bit harsh...there is a lot of crap out there, but there is a lot of good stuff as well.

[Karascool]

Anime just isn't made like this anymore all the got now is naruto and shit.

[brinpol]

@Karascool No, they have more than that. Just be be more open minded and willing to look, there a lot of good stuff out there.

[Karascool]

@brinpol believe me I do look and aside for FMA brotherhood I haven't found many good anime recently. And while I enjoy the naruto manga the anime is filled with stupid fillers and crap.

[Maxaker67]

@Karascool you need to look further, there are A LOT of good animes and mangas in existance A FUCKING LOT, and if you actually enjoy naruto then your bar cant be that high, I mean it has its highs but....a lot of crap too.

[Karascool]

@Maxaker67 a fucking lot huh then why don't you name a few

[Maxaker67]

@Karascool Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Berserk, Claymore, Parasyte, Black Lagoon, Hellsing, Vagabond, Homunculus, Planetes, Neo Ranga, Slam Dunk, Yu Yu Haksuho, Yondemasuyo Azazel-kun, Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, Katsuki, Macross, Spriggan, Initial-D, Gantz......

[Karascool]

@Maxaker67 you have some good anime listed but a lot of that stuff came out 10 years ago except TTGL and Black Lagoon. Nothing made within the past year or two.

[Maxaker67]

@Karascool ok so I will only list stuff from...2010 and 2011?

Maria Holic, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika, Durara?, Deadman Wonderland is not bad too.

[Karascool]

@Maxaker67 Ok is this stuff even released in the US or is it just online? I haven't heard of any of these.

[Maxaker67]

@Karascool mmm I guess some american fansubs have released it, but I watch it in spanish. One american fansub is anime44, they have released Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika and I dont know about the others.

[KingKillaT]

7 beasts lost their fangs...are you guys feeling that one?lol

[MrBluewatson]

@KingKillaT i don't know what that means, plz tell

[KingKillaT]

@MrBluewatson

7 people disliked the video... ehh looking back it wasn't that good lol

[TheTraveler12]

this episode is the reason the show was so great..

[Mattboesch8917]

how the hell did he survive that fall?

[microsoftnerd4life]

@Mattboesch8917 He didn't, i heard from someone on youtube that the rest of the show was one of spike's deep dreams.

[JusticeSeeker09]

@microsoftnerd4life Interesting theory but I don't think thats correct

[microsoftnerd4life]

@JusticeSeeker09 Not my theory. I know He survived  =/

[microsoftnerd4life]

@Mattboesch8917 He might have even imagined ed.

[Mattboesch8917]

gunfight in a church, man god must be pissed.

[KingKillaT]

I never understood that scene with Jet cutting the trees until now. The green leaves reminded him of Spike's hair lol

[manwithouthat44]

@KingKillaT Hey I never got that either. Thats smart. You should get thumbs up

[ReyMK3]

Spike: Throw me out the window, will ya? *chucks gernade at last second*

Vicious: What the? *sees gernade* Oh fuck!...

[thetuckman1]

Heh. "Drop your weapon". Do you realize who you're saying that to?

[guild602]

sorry for the double post

[guild602]

i don't know why but that song makes being thrown out of a window pretty epic.

[TheFtwLOL]

Spike is one of the seven of disliked due to being hit by Faye...

[dchris1990]

Vicious looks like a true vampire ... and I'm pretty sure he could kick any Twilight vampire's ass easily...and by kick, I mean cut up with his katana.

[TurboNemesis]

this. this is one of the single greatest scenes ever animated, voiced, and scored.

[MrFunxy]

What's the slow jazz theme at the end?

[Flynn01979]

This one scene made me fall in love with Cowboy Bebop, brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it and Spike goes out that window.

[Zareste]

That view of the city is unbelievably depressing and fascinating. Everything is crumbling and the overhead clouds make it almost look like it's underground. Purple is such a strange color to use.

[WithinAcousticMagic]

What I love about this anime is that the English dub is just as good as the original. You dont see that too much. :)

[tittyslapper7]

I love the part when Jet tries to act like he couldn't care less and just ends up being like "Dammit!" Knowing he can't leave his partner behind.

[grauster423]

epic!

[squarepumplenumber2]

I love the piano in the song Green Bird.

[Crackpunch]

It's a shame Spike never gets to fight Vicious on even terms. Spike has always been shot once or twice before they fight.

[promathia1]

i think im about to cry

[Anime4Life35]

"Hay Jet it's Spike"

"TOUGH" *hangs up*

makes me laugh everytime

[xMidnightxCowboyx]

No matter how many times I've seen this it's still as epic as the first time I saw it. A true classic scene.

[DanielEdwardStJean]

This is one of the best scenes I've ever seen in an anime.

[x9DarkStar9x]

3:29 i love how much of a dick jet is then he just stares and is like.... shit hahah and goes to get spike.

[blakbro2k]

one of the BEST scenes in anime history. that is all.

[rodiruns]

@blakbro2k Totally agree. Spike cant be compared to!

[MichaelAwesome]

Epic.

[kinkymangodance]

Freakin Epic

[badgerking30]

take note COD thats how martydom is done and 2:19 comply that bitch

[napalmbom32]

can some one tell me the song at 5:20

[gamingguy90]

@napalmbom32 It's called Green Bird. I'll put it in the description.

[JohnMoore90]

Dumb Question: Who brings a sword to a gunfight?

-The answer before decapitation-

Vicious: I do.

[TheNuclearbomb11]

6 people sang off key.

[dchris1990]

love the cool jazzy piano in the end

[Nonsensei436]

Well damn i was enjoying this up to 1:25.

[DarkMobias]

This show was epic because unlike EVERY OTHER SHOW / MOVIE, the bad guys didnt always miss and the good guys weren't fucking robots with 100% accuracy.

[fatcatfag]

What is the song at the end of the clip when spike falls?

Its Beautiful I must Know.

[LoudTristero]

@fatcatfag It's called Green Bird. Sung by Gabriela Robin, I think.

[mediahellgod]

what number of episode is this?

[MasterZealot09]

@mediahellgod 5

[BenchPressGamer]

when i die i wanna die epically like spike falling out of a church window lol

[VegimightSamich]

@BenchPressGamer But he does not die like that. He says bang then falls over.

[Drewskie226]

this is one of the best fights from the show

[EmpireUP]

Hands down one of the greatest animes of all time. Also one of the RARE(and i mean RARE) series to actually b good in english. unlike the usual where the anime is great in Japanese then the english dub jus trashes it

[PS3rocks360gotohell]

@EmpireUP dbz and death note were good

[PS3rocks360gotohell]

@PS3rocks360gotohell also studio ghibli dubbs

[raysetiger285]

@PS3rocks360gotohell They drew DBZ out way to much I recon and they let Goku get much to powerfull. Once that happens theres not much you can do with a series. Barker Than Black is a great series

[PS3rocks360gotohell]

@raysetiger285 i was talking about the dubs, also fullmetal alchemist/ brotherhood

[raysetiger285]

@PS3rocks360gotohell i ment Darker Than Black, and so am I

[kingdomofdarkness78]

wats the song tht starts at 4:31

[Lordvanderbelt]

The song is called, RAIN!

[SorceressZila]

I've adored this song since first hearing it as a kid. I now prefer the male voice, however the song itself is still beloved by me, both for the lyrics and sound.

[pavlo666lost]

i'm sorry to ask this but am i gonna see among the anime what really happened to these 2 or do i have to pay attention to the conversations? i've just watched this episode a few minutes ago.

[MyBrainIsMush]

vicious couldnt take on spike by himself...

what a punk

[fadedsmith]

I am going to be Spike Spiegal for Halloween this year!

[Notime4awatch]

I love this song! Cowboy Bebop is the best!

[123wida]

lol, spikes uses martyrdom!

[Rawesyn]

RIP Spike Spiegel

[jetplane48]

What is the name of the song when Spike falls out of the window and reminisces about life?

[thestupidgoose]

@jetplane48 Green Bird by Yoko Kanno

[xAfterDark]

thnx for the upload dude!!!

[incsteve]

nice

[AlaskanWildernessMan]

Did anyone else think that the part where Jet looked at the fallen twig at around 3:26 after Faye called him about Spike was a bad omen lol? Saw a little bit of symbolism there.

[DethklokFanatic666]

"Ughhh, you sing off key..."

[willia3r]

Vicious @ 0:27.... reminds me of a vampire or somethin'...waiting & brooding in the darkness like that.

[BluePIanet]

the music at the end when it shows the ace of spades is perfect :P

[DocFrogger]

Let's see Bleach and Naruto trying to top something like this

[BlackMarketMedia1]

Great song, does anyone know what the Classical Opera song earlier in the episode is? When Faye is going to Mao Yenrai's box in the opera?

[kojibeoulve]

@BlackMarketMedia1 it was ave maria, i think.

[lilj2345]

Ave Maria by Jerzy Knetig If I remember correctly

[Jac00b]

why is it whenever a fight is going on with soft music, its instantly more badass than it would have been if it was metal?

[Luvinhas]

@Jac00b because with soft music, the emotions are much deeper

[Booth789]

This sucks.

[midocrimsonfate]

Man what? this video sucked not even the cool fight

[bentravis777]

Whats that song or ballad they have on this episode?

[gamingguy90]

@bentravis777

Before asking questions, you should first check the sidebar to see if it's already answered. Because it is.

[JasonNewton2010]

@gamingguy90 Well, you do fail to mention "Green Bird" also by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts. And that song is used in its' entirety.

[rasr666]

the song is rain singed by mai yamane search for yokko kanno

[BouncingFerretFilms]

epic characters, epic rivalry, epic love story, epic soundtrack, epic series finally, all around EPIC series

[macattack67]

its a miracle faye could contain those things in her dress while running

[gamingguy90]

@macattack67

It's also a tragedy.

[Raxer21]

@gamingguy90 true so true

[Chainer7787]

Who is singing this version of Walk in the Rain? i know it was written by Yoko Kano and all that but i cant find this specific version.

[gamingguy90]

I've actually had that same problem. Anyone care to shed some light on this?

[Safer7Sephiroth]

Mai Yamane

[RawrNero]

@gamingguy90 Mai Yama w.e her name is is singing this song. The other version of rain is by Steve Conte aka male version

[MRT408]

@gamingguy90  her name is Mai Yamane

[aswallom]

@Chainer7787

The Mai Yamane version of the song (usually called "Rain (Demo Version)" (although "Rain (Actually in the Show Version" would have been better) to distinguish it from the Steve Conte version on the first soundtrack album) can be found on both the Future Blues album (aka the movie OST) as a bonus track and in the Cowboy Bebop limited edition box set (I own the limited edition, so I know it's on that one, and I don't know if the box set has been reissued otherwise).

[Isosyth]

@Chainer7787 Was probably answered, but it's sung by Steve Conte.

[RawrNero]

@Chainer7787 Mai Yama w.e her name is is singing this song. The other version of rain is by Steve Conte aka male version

[jbnightmarex]

wats the song when spike gets throwned off the top church

[pyro2020]

@jbnightmarex

Green Bird

[CRISHNADUKE]

man spike was so strapped when he went there, i was mad amped when i saw this episode :P

[MoN1T0r]

Where did the blood on her face go...... Everyone is so focused on the jiggling tits they don't even notice that the blood is magically gone......

[gamingguy90]

I'm sure she had a handkerchief somewhere.

[thefatrollypollyman]

This is anime @ its pure best.

[micster0]

The best scene in anime history.

[marksman55]

the greatest battle of all time... thank you

[Tenjin05]

Great Vid. Bebop rocks!

[TopRamenKickAss]

4:35, vicious is thinking, "oh shit" lol.... also it would be funny if at 4:35, it changed to Rick Rolled....

[hellraiza81]

I always wondered what exactly did faye do to spike. You just hear him scream. Then when they show him you see the pillow busted open, laying on top of him, with the feathers in the air. LOL

[davedetrick]

Whatever she did, Spike had it coming, right?

[Dagreat]

Doesn't take much to hurt someone in that condition. she obviously hit him with the pillow lol

[hendricks808]

wow...for all my life since i saw this when i was 8...i thought she ripped up his bandages...but now that i look at it, it could be the pillow

[AkitoHayama01]

what he did he told her that she sings off key

[hellraiza81]

yeah, i know what spike said to her. But what did she do. Did she punch him or something, I can't see a pillow doing that much damage

[AkitoHayama01]

just the pillow she hawked it at him and it bursted open

[darkbeerpotato]

When you're THAT injured, just about anything can cause you pain.

[KickenItOldSchool]

it can if you broke a ton of bones have bruises and cuts

[MultiFrankenstien]

because he saw that it wasn't Julia

[UnicornOnAcid]

I love the song when he's falling out of the window.. Its so soothing. Perfect way to end a perfect episode.

[SuiGakusei]

The song is called "Green Bird" for anyone who didn't know. Not meaning to sound like a smartass, merely trying to be informative. I also know where to DL it (not Limewire, Morpheus, etc since I don't trust that crap) that, as well as "Rain" which plays here at the beginning.

Oh, and Vicious kicks fucking ass. Takes balls to own when you're using a sword against a gun.

[UnicornOnAcid]

Amen. I wish Vicious was my fucking father. I love his sword skills.

[p0rkch0ps]

If Vicious was your father he would murder you for being a pussy

[UnicornOnAcid]

Your intelligence dropped.

That's all.

[UnicornOnAcid]

I've always thought the sword was more superior than a gun, takes more dexterity to use it. Just the way vicious looks when spike gets thrown out of the window is just.. amazing. Plus, the song goes well with it.

[Vicious035]

Vicious: "Don't forget a snakes venom poisons slowly after the bite."

[davedetrick]

One of the elders : A snake can not eat a dragon.

[Vicious035]

JET: Didn't ya hear me when I said you're being obnoxious?

[Naraku01]

"Huh? Oooohhh...I'm butchering it!"

[rude83]

best anime!! hands down!

[Haark22]

5:55 ok how the fuck did Vicious survive that??? and it even caused a second explosion at 5:58 .....man wtf...oh well, it made for a badass final episode later on :P.

[ieatthat4breakfast]

i think that they sustained the same amount of damage to their bodies though. vicious is not some untouchable being. he is human. i think that the explosion did exactly what the fall did to spike. another thing to note: whenever vicious hits spike, spike hits vicious.

[UnicornOnAcid]

Vicious could've easily survived the explosion. He has quick movements just like spike.. and the only injury he had was his left shoulder. And remember, it didn't blow the whole chapel up, only the top. So vicious had enough time. =]

[hfhfhfhfhfhfhfhhj]

these eight minutes are the reason i love this episode over all the rest.

amazing..

[ihatetilatequila]

spike always comeing 2 inches from death.

[kifturd]

4:33 OMG i love that song

[SpaceLion87]

GREEN BIRD!

wonderful epidose...wonderful music as always!

[blakbro2k]

@SpaceLion87 i wish they had lyrics to this english latin hybrid.
