DT：你说的是斯派克和菲之间的关系吗？
渡边监督：当然。会有人问我：“斯派克是怎么看待菲的？”我觉得他其实相当喜欢她。但他不是一个直白的人，所以他会确保自己不表现出来。
DT: You said in your lecture that the characters you relate most to are Mugen and Spike. Care to explain?
W: First, I'm often shooting people and slashing them up with a sword ... It's a joke. [Laughs] Spike and Mugen aren't very straightforward in expressing themselves. For example, even if there's a girl they like standing right in front of them, they don't pursue her directly - in fact, they do the opposite, they ignore her almost. I think that part is kind of like me. If I was to sum it up, it's kind of like being a little contradictory or rebellious.
DT: Are you talking about Spike's relationship with Faye?
W: Of course. Sometimes I'm asked the question, 'What does Spike think of Faye?' I think that actually he likes her quite a bit. But he's not a very straightforward person so he makes sure he doesn't show it.
-------------------------------------------
在剧场版里，Spike对Jet说女警官漂亮，说明了美丽的女人是他的type。再根据这段采访，Spike的确是对美丽的Faye有好感的，短短的20几集并没有把他们的生活都展现出来，还有很多案件是不曾描述在动画里的，要不然为啥出现了剧场版。在这么久时间的相处中Spike对Faye产生了好感，但他不会表现出来，所以我们没看出来。
最后一集Spike甚至没有去回应Julia的拥抱，对他而言，对Julia自然有爱，但更多的是责任。Spike说过，“一只眼睛看过去”，指的是在红龙的过去以及Julia，“另一只眼睛看向未来”，一般指的是Bebop号上的大家。但是配合着这部分采访，我认为，这里面，也包含着对Faye的好感。当然了，好感毕竟是好感，没有上升到对Julia那样的爱的级别，是肯定的。
大家也不要担心Faye了，就像那个结婚骗子时一样，Faye是可以Move on的。星际牛仔整部片子在讲的精髓就是Move on，承受着过去发生的事情，把人生继续走下去。
★关于Spike的最后
继续看渡边在美国的一个采访记录。
-------------------------------------------
DT：《星际牛仔》第五话《Ballad of Fallen Angels》好像预示了最终话的内容。两者之间有关系吗？
渡边监督：《星际牛仔》中所有比夏斯出场的集数都和结局有直接关系。我在做第一话之前就已经想好了结局。尽管我想好了结局，我的工作人员表示强烈反对。他们很不开心，因为这样就没法做续集了。所以我跟他们说我会再考虑考虑，但是最后还是采取了我一开始的方案。
DT：斯派克去世，你收到负面评价了吗？
渡边监督：我从来没有正式表示过斯派克死了。现在，我能告诉你的是我不确定他的生死。我觉得，相对于把斯派克写死而受到诟病，大家应该更讨厌我做一部续集吧。
DT: Episode five of "Bebop," "Ballad of Fallen Angels," seems to be foreshadowing the events of the final episode. Is there a connection?
W: Actually all of the episodes that contain Vicious that come out in "Cowboy Bebop" are directly related to the ending. Even before I made the first episode, I already had the ending in mind. Even though I had the ending in mind by myself, I was opposed by my staff. They were upset because they were saying that we wouldn't be able to make a continuation. So I told them I'd think about it a little more, but ultimately I decided to go with my original idea.
DT: Have you received any negative feedback for Spike's death?
W: I've never officially said that he's died. At this point, I can tell you that I'm not sure if he's alive or dead. I think probably rather than being yelled at for killing Spike, I think ... people are more upset that I might make a continuation.
---------------------------------
如果按一只眼睛过去，一只眼睛未来的方式看的，的确是有解决了Vicious结束了过去，走向未来的可能性。但是再仔细看的话，Annie，林和真，Julia，最后Vicious都因他而死，Spike经历了这场大战只是受伤昏迷，最后还醒过来回到Bebop号和大家一起继续日常的话，我觉得也太主人公光环了，渡边肯定不会这样做。
渡边说告诉工作人员后他们都反对这个结局说做不了续集了，如果Spike结局只是昏迷不是死的话，工作人员为什么会觉得做不了续集了呢。
导演采访时说Spike是否死亡是未知的。我想是因为导演仁慈，想让为Spike之死而难受的人们释怀。
从剧场版明显是TV结局之前的剧情，也可以知道，Spike是回不来了。
