Spike wasn’t ready to move on from Julia, but if he had He could reconcile the two parts of himself and welcome what life could be, but he won't ever get there because he refuses to let go of that weight. But for Faye, she's watching someone she cares deeply for walk backwards off a cliff while she's begging them to just turn around.Īt the end, for me at least, that's what their confrontation is about - Faye has moved forward, realized what could be, and also realized that Spike isn't moving forward and likely never will. To Spike, it's simply a culmination of his life events and where he was always meant to end up. He just couldn't stop carrying the weight of everything that happened between him, Julia and Vicious. What "could have been" with Faye was a moot point for Spike because to have what could have been, he needed to let go of what was and.
For the first time, what could have been between them could actually be, but only for her because Spike wasn't in a position to move forward. Not that they ever would get together, but I think for each other, they were the possibility of what could have been but never would be if they didn't come to terms with their past.Īt the end, Faye confronts her own past and reconciles who she is with who she was. I know most folks don't dig the whole "Spike x Faye" thing, but I always thought it was at least an undertone of their relationship. TL DR: I don't really think it was anything romantic or about love, I think it went much deeper and complex than that, much like with everyone else on the ship, they were a newfound family, but were too stuck in the past to work out. If Spike were able to get over his past and just look forward PERHAPS, after a longtime of clashing heads, these two could develop something romantic, but I don't really see it where we stopped. Their relationship always felt more akin to a fraternal one, at least to me. Which is both frustrating and sorrowful for her, because she has no other choice but to move forward with her newfound family, whereas Spike does have a choice, but decides to die in the past. Spike could go back and have closure with his past, Faye could never have that, her past is dead, anything resembling her past is no longer there, I feel like her actions at the end wasn't much out of romantic anger, as much as Spike going back to die for the past the way she was unable to, in that way, losing one of the damaged people she grew to care about. They all felt like a dysfunctional family, a bunch of damaged people (Edward excluded, since she's the most well-adjusted there), finding comfort with one another. I'm talking with a friend of mine who recommended Cowboy Bebop who's a shipper of Spike x Faye, but honestly, going through the anime, I really didn't see any romantic spark between these characters.
