The first episode, "Asteroid Blues" begins with just Spike and Jet as the crew of the Bebop, along with Chief Laughing Bull making one of his trademark cryptic predictions, as well as Spike commenting on how he died once before because of a woman. {{spoiler|At the end of "Hard Luck Woman", Faye, Ed and Ein leave, leaving Jet and Spike alone on the Bebop and completing one book end. The final episode, "The Real Folk Blues (part 2)" ends with Chief Laughing Bull making a cryptic prediction on Spike... who attacks his old syndicate and dies because of a woman.}}

** In fact, the entire last chapter of ''Eyeshield'' echoes the first one in many different ways. {{spoiler|Sena enters a new school (college this time) gets headhunted to join the football club, and even plays the sister team of the same team he played in his first high school game. The difference is that this time his team's lineup is different, and it's implied that his chief rival in college ball will be Hiruma, who led Sena and the Devilbats to the national championship.}}

* The first episode of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' begins with Usagi saying "I'm Usagi Tsukino, 14 years old, junior high student. I'm clumsy and a bit of a crybaby. That's it." She then becomes Sailor Moon in that episode. The last episode ends with her saying "I'm Usagi Tsukino, 16 years old, high school student. I'm clumsy and a bit of a crybaby, but I'm actually the agent for love and justice, Sailor Moon." Adding to that, the original [[Anime Theme Song]], "Moonlight Densetsu", is heard.
