Cowboy Bebop Fandub (Episodes 1-5)
redxrulez for Jet Black
The father figure of the Bebop, Jet is quite the tragic figure. Having left the ISSP due to corruption on the force, he became a bounty hunter out of necessity, not out of his own free will. He is always looking for the next bounty, caring more about getting the job done and having food on the table rather then saving the day. Unlike Spike however, he cares more openly about people despite his gruff exterior.
Jet is the owner of the Bebop, and as such is responsible for much of the repairs and costs of maintaining it. He also cooks all of the food and owns his own bonzai tree collection.
Jet's voice is gruff, rough but not too deep - think of a "dad" type voice. He's also reminscient of classic noir protagonists so any influence there is much appreciated.
"When I was a cop, this was my beat. I’m the Black Dog and when I bite I don’t let go. I have no regrets about her, but I’ll settle this score on my own turf."
"So Charlie says, 'only hands can wash hands. If you want to receive, you have to give.' Something like that—wish I could remember the exact words—anyway, I think Charlie’s telling us to just do it. Ha. What do you make of it?"
"Humans were meant to work and sweat to earn a living. Those that try to get rich quick, or live at the expense of others, all get divine retribution somewhere along the line. That's the lesson. Unfortunately we quickly forget the lessons we've learned. And then we have to learn them. All over again."
