Spike and Vicious have a climactic final battle, where Spike finally kills Vicious and then collapsed outside the Red Dragon's main building. But after the credits instead of "See you space cowboy" as you usually see, you see the phrase "You're gonna carry that wieght...". I can see how this refers to Spike, meaning his past was always carried with him no matter what. But what I'd like to know is, knowing how huge they were, and enormously influential in terms of bringing western culture to Japan especially, if this some sort of nod that director Shinchiro Wantanabe made to the Beatles. Wantanabe has said he's been heavily influenced by western culture so it might not be that far fetched. It's a stupid question I know but if anyone has an answer I'd appreciate it if you'd pass it along
