Latest revision as of 17:32, 25 August 2026

Miss Shelly's a good person, and probably wouldn't condone me participating in bloodsport for money. I, however, am not shackled by human morality, and find it a rather entertaining use of my time.

Forged by the hands of a widowed junk yard attendant; Bebop was more than just some scrap golem laborer... he was the son she couldn't have. Together they would work in the iron yard during the day, and listen to jazz at night. It was a predictable, if not comforting routine. But now, Bebop's creator has fallen ill and while Miss Shelly wouldn't approve of the activities that Bebop does at night to pay for her medicine, what she doesn't know can't hurt her.

Overview

[edit | edit source]

Bebop's motivation and wish in the ritual is to cure Miss Shelly of her illness.[1][2]

Biography

[edit | edit source]

Bebop was created by Shelly Fisher in an act of "craftsmanship, willpower and sacrifice".[3] Assisting her in the junk yard during the day and listening to jazz at night, Bebop was the son Miss Shelly never had.[4] Bebop was created with access to his own free will, as Miss Shelly "didn't believe" in putting any bindings on Bebop to enforce his ethics.[5] As such, Bebop's love for his "mother" is genuine.[6] Bebop seems to have a soul and is capable of breathing.[7]

When Miss Shelly fell ill, Bebop needed to find a way to pay for her medicine. In the end, Bebop decided to take up pit fighting in the Bear Pit as the main source of income for Miss Shelly's medicine.[8][9][10] While he finds fighting for money an entertaining use of his time,[11] Bebop intends to retire once Miss Shelly is cured of her illness.[12][13] Bebop is trying to stick to honest work.[14]

As Miss Shelly's condition is getting worse, Bebop has decided to participate in the ritual so the Patrons can save his creator.[1][2]

Bebop is nicknamed as "the scrap golem".[15] Bebop himself was named after the jazz style "bebop".[16]

Personality

[edit | edit source]

Bebop was raised to be polite and proper.[17] He speaks highly of Miss Shelly and often offers to introduce people to meet her.[18][19][20]

Bebop doesn't particularly value human life,[21] referring to humans as "organics" and generally thinking of them to be frail.[22][23][11] That said, Bebop doesn't want to take up a career as an assassin as he knows Miss Shelly wouldn't approve of him killing people.[24][25] He also shows kindness to characters like Pocket and Victor.[26][19]

Though Bebop engages in pitfighting for the money,[10] he also enjoys it and finds it entertaining, particularly when it comes to hurting Lash.[11][27]

Bebop dislikes being perceived as different or lesser than humans for being a golem,[28][3] and would like to meet another like him.[29]

Appearance

[edit | edit source]

Bebop's model is inherited from Neon Prime. He's a tall futuristic robot with a red, gray and black chassis. He has a wide chest and skinny limbs, with the exception of his oversized left arm with a large red shoulder and a wrecking ball for a hand, that extends for his Exploding Uppercut. He has a small orange head with black wires that resemble a chonmage, one right eye and two smaller left eyes, all green, and a beak-shaped mouth. His body is slightly rusty. He wears only ragged beige shorts with samurai armor plates on the right side and a rope belt, and what looks like Japamala prayer beads on his left foot. His right hand can unfold to transform into a laser gun, and can also extend (and seemingly increase in size) for Grapple Arm.

In The Binding of Oathkeeper and his previous portrait, Bebop is depicted as a similar but more period-appropriate automaton with a large closed left eye, and a sea mine as his left hand.

Information

[edit | edit source]

Bebop can speak French.[30] He can't speak Japanese.[31]

Despite having been made in America, Bebop has a Cockney accent, commonly spoken in England by working-class Londoners.

Bebop knows how to bake biscuits.[20] He smells vaguely of cinnamon.[32]

During Hyper Beam, a saxophone-like instrument can be heard playing erratically, akin to jazz improvisation.[33] The songs Giant Steps by John Coltrane and Bebop by Charlie Parker are possible references for the Hyper Beam SFX variants.

Bebop refers to Miss Shelly as his "mother".[6] He's willing to do whatever he can to save her.[34]

Both champions of the Bear Pit, Bebop and Lash have a rivalry fueled by hate for each other.[35][27][36]

Lash used to use an uppercut instead of Ground Strike, but refused to use it ever again after seeing Bebop use an uppercut.[37][38]

Bebop has beaten Lash in the Bear Pit once,[39] and Lash has beaten Bebop at least once afterwards.[40][41]

Neither Bebop nor Lash elaborate on why they hate the other so much.[42][43]

Lash has at least 87 reasons why he's better than Bebop.[44]

Main article: The Binding of Oathkeeper

Bebop makes an appearance in Lady Geist's visual novel, The Binding of Oathkeeper.

Note: The Binding of Oathkeeper is currently inaccessible to the main game, instead being something planned for release in the future. As such, everything in the current visual novel is prone to change, as it is still undergoing development.

Storyline D - Bebop intervenes as Lady Geist lunges for Miss Shelly

Bebop makes an appearance in storyline D in The Binding of Oathkeeper.

Lady Geist was looking for somebody desperate to transfer Oathkeeper to due to her failing ward. After looking at Doctor Johann Jr.'s files, she discovered the existence of Shelly Fisher. Believing that Miss Shelly would be desperate enough to take Oathkeeper from her, Lady Geist went to visit her home.

When Lady Geist arrives at Miss Shelly's home, Bebop (wearing a pink apron) answers the door, telling Lady Geist that Miss Shelly isn't feeling well at the moment and isn't taking visitors. Miss Shelly calls to Bebop from inside, telling him to let Lady Geist in. While Miss Shelly and Lady Geist are talking in one room, Bebop is preparing chocolate biscuits in another. When Bebop enters the room, Lady Geist is about to attack Miss Shelly after her Oathkeeper offer was denied. Lady Geist lunges for Miss Shelly, when Bebop intervenes and smashes the ward on Lady Geist's arm containing Oathkeeper. Bebop protects Miss Shelly while Oathkeeper is freed, and Oathkeeper tells Bebop to leave with Miss Shelly as he makes up for lost time with Lady Geist.
