YES. IT's debatable (of course there is no proof that he is alive) but three things.

First he lost his stomach, that's quite deadly.

Second there is multiple times a line is sad similar to saying that Spike and vicious have the same blood and if one dies so does the other.

Third when Julia goes Spike has almost no reason to live and basically makes it clear he's not coming back, he has to finish it, to find out if he is "asleep".

Hold on a sec. Doesn't the Cowboy Bebop movie come after the series???

And if so then how come Spike is alive? (o yeah, I haven't seen the movie so if this question sound stupid ya know why)

No, the movie fits between a few of the episodes. The final episode is it, and from what I can tell Spike definitely died.

by him losing his stomach means he got stabbed by vicious's sword, i think, i havent seen it in awhile. Poor Spike tsk tsk Cowboy Bebop depresses me out.

yes sad to say spike does die in episode 26 the real folk blues part two i swear i have never cried so much in my life! u think i'd die when a real person dies but no it takes an anime character to get a tear outta me! by the way, the movie knockin on heaven's door comes between ep 22 cowboy funk and ep 23 brain scratch thats what i heard only 15 more days till it comes out on dvd here in the US! o yeah!

Theres on way to completely prove he dies, but yes, its generally taken that he does.

The ending is sad and "happy" at once. I mean, he's finnaly free from his past but now he's just dead. *cry*

yeah i have the shooting star books they're okay spike to me looks cuter than the anime (don't get me wrong i luv spike!) but the plot is really short too bad there are only two volumes it definitely could be better
