Cowboy Bebop Specials
1. Session XX; Mish-Mash Blues
Due to the violence portrayed in the series, and the violence occurring at the time in Japanese schools, the series was briefly canceled and “Mish-Mash Blues” was created. The characters provide a philosophical commentary and it ends with the words: “This is not the end. You will see the real ‘Cowboy Bebop’ someday!”

2. Session #0
This episode is a teaser for the release of the series to DVD. It contains interviews with the staff and cast, character info, a story digest of the episodes not broadcast on television (due to its depictions of gratuitous violence, only a handful of episodes were aired originally. The remaining episodes were not broadcast until 1999), the complete beginning/closing title sequences without the interference of credits or other text, and a couple of full length music videos featuring the theme track "Tank!" accompanied by the jaw-dropping animation found throughout the series.

In 2071, 49 years after a catastrophic event on Earth, humanity has settled on other planets and moons in the solar system and a team of bounty hunters travel together aboard the spaceship "Bebop."

4. Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Another day, another bounty—such is the life of the often unlucky crew of the Bebop. However, this routine is interrupted when Faye, who is chasing a fairly worthless target on Mars, witnesses an oil tanker suddenly explode, causing mass hysteria. As casualties mount due to a strange disease spreading through the smoke from the blast, a whopping three hundred million woolong price is placed on the head of the supposed perpetrator.
