Cowboy Bebop came out two decades ago, and is one of the best animes of all time. IMHO it is one of the best TV shows in any category, and it ends very bravely, with a fade to black after a deadly fight. The show creator has said that the main character died at the end, but I’ve always had this idea of a fan fiction where he survived. The death was figurative, him shedding the sins of the past and starting a new life. That writing prompt has hovered in the back of my mind for years. One of these days I will write the story, though suitably changed to fit into the Jack universe. I know who the guy is. I’ve got the rough story in mind, which means it really has been percolating in the back of mind for a while. Soon I will write it, and I hope it will work out as well.
