This clip show was created as the final episode for TV Tokyo, who chose to air just 12 of the series' 26 episodes due to it's early evening time-slot and violent incidents in Japan. The episode ends with the words: "This Is Not The End. You Will See The Real "Cowboy Bebop" Someday!" Within six months, the series saw an uncensored broadcast on cable network Wowow, and a best-selling home video run (although this particular episode was never repeated or released).
