* Bounty hunting is the occupation of Jet Black, Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine and about 300,000 folks in the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' universe. In fact, so many people make a living chasing criminals in the future that a cheesy Western-themed TV series (a cross between ''[[Bonanza]]'' and an interplanetary ''[[~~Americas Most Wanted|~~America's Most Wanted]]'') exists to provide them with intel on known bounty heads. All bounties must be taken alive, which is why the cast [[Perpetual Poverty|miss almost every big bounty]], as well as in one particularly unlucky case the guy ''crashed into a police station'', and once when they weren't given a bounty for stopping an AI in a satellite as it technically doesn't count as "alive".

** In fact, the ISSP (Inter Solar System Police) seem to be very anxious to find all kinds of ways to not pay a bounty. In the entire series, the Bebop gang is only ever shown ''actually getting paid'' a couple of times.

** It's implied that the Bebop crew takes on more missions than we see them doing, however, they still seem to be in the poor house thanks to [[Destructive Saviour|Spike's tendency to destroy everything he touches]] when the crew go after a bounty head. All that collateral damage runs up a huge bill.
