List premiums in Cowboy Bebop

In the Animates and the Manga Cowboy Bebop , the majority of the main characters are bargain hunters, and like the majority of the bargain hunters nowadays, the team of Bebop spends most clearly her time to drive out dangerous criminals in exchange of rewards.

However, hunting for the premium in the universe of Cowboy Bebop differs from other huntings for the premium tested in the past. It is indeed a kind of hybrid between the Conquête of the West, a government corrupted by the Mafia and a key of Terrorisme.

The premiums are offered by Inter Solar System Police, the more known under the name of ISSP, or of the local governments which operate under the orders of the ISSP in their area of the Solar system. The ISSP is probably inspired by Interpol, except for a greater ubiquity: the officers of the ISSP appear or are mentioned in almost all the episodes and are the only armed force responsible for the law that it is at the national level that international.

However, the resources of the ISSP are seems it limited since they are made help most of the time by the bargain hunters in order to prevent chaos, the majority of the criminals being captured by bargain hunters and not by the police force. A parody of , entitled Big Shot , announces the premiums of the week and often seems the disturbing element.

The impotence of the ISSP is also shown later in the series when we discover that the branch marsienne of the ISSP cannot stop the local criminal organizations, such as the Red Dragons.

To receive the premium, the bargain hunters must lead the criminals alive to the ISSP. Because of this single rule, the crew of Bebop often returns bredouille.
