Qs about the Coboy Bebop ep "Jupiter Jazz" pg-13 thread

[DerekPowers]

i saw this on cn, and have been meaning to ask this since it aired. at the end of jupiter jazz part 1, where that sax player is in the shower and fey (sp?) bust in on him, did cn edit that scene? so what happened to that guy, did he have a womens top and mans bottom half, or what? it appeared in pt 2 he had breasts, but i couldnt really tell. thanks for the info. peace.

He's a guy. He didn't have breasts in the first episode...but..I think he was probably just wearing a bra in pt.2? Anyway...he has a hormone imbalance..and so he doesn't have a...uhmm...unit? He's got a womans lower half now, I guess. But they explain some of that in pt. 2

--he was a hermaphrodite...but I thought he had both woman's breasts and a John Thomas. He blamed Spike's old enemy for sending him to prison, where he was fed some experimental drugs that buggered up his hormone system, causing his body to change. He went after Vicious but wound up shot...though he really didn't seem to mind, oddly. All he wanted was to die at home.
It seems the entire planet was populated by homosexuals and drag queens, sort of a space-age Sodom and Gomorrah. Or San Francisco, however you see it.

thanks for the info. so that shower scene was edited? was that the first cb edit on cn?? so he had no, um, little friend? thats odd, but in part 2 it did appear he had boobs. well i guess we can just say he was seriously screwed over by the hormone injections.

Yeah, he was hermaphrodite, I think. CN did edit the first part--a brief shot of his breasts, But Faye's reaction--

"A woman?"

(Faye looks down and sees hot dog)

"Which one are you??"

Was kept in, or should have been.

They didn't give him a digital bikini (what loser showers with a bikini?), and I think what they did was cut sooner or zoom in the shot to exclude his breasts.

This may have been the reason that Gren wasn't interested in Faye. (No "Because he had himself!" jokes, please... ) Gren may or may not have been gay. But I guess it was a moot point from his point of view...
