Ballad of Fallen Angels (Episode 5)
There are plenty of standalone episodes, several of which we’ll touch on later, but if you’re looking for an idea of the bigger picture the show eventually becomes about, look no further than this early episode. It’s also the first of another familiar trope Bebop often plays with, a flashback backstory-filler that details just who Spike Spiegel was before he became a laid-back bounty hunter, giving us a taste of one of the series’ biggest villains, Vicious.
