In a revealing interview with Anime News Network , Shinichiro Watanabe, one of the most renowned directors in the world of anime, confirmed that all of his original works are connected into a single universe.
Yes, you read that right! Cowboy Bebop , Samurai Champloo , Carole & Tuesday , Space Dandy , Zankyou no Terror and the recently announced Lazarus are part of the same reality, according to Watanabe himself.
The revelation awakens a new perspective on these works already loved by fans. Watanabe, known for his unique ability to mix genres and create rich, diverse universes, made it clear that these connections are not obvious. This opens up space for theories and discussions among fans: how the space cowboys of Bebop could somehow coexist with the atmosphere of Samurai Champloo.
Furthermore, the fact that Space Dandy and Zankyou no Terror , so different in tone and theme, are also connected, shows the depth of Watanabe's creative thought.
Now, with the arrival of the Lazarus created by Shinichiro Watanabe, fans can stay tuned for possible references and Easter eggs that reinforce these connections.
