An American/Japanese anime three-part OVA series that crosses over Cowboy Bebop and Black Lagoon: When the Bebop crew hear of a 5 million woolong bounty placed on a group known as the Lagoon Company, they land in Earth's most dangerous city to find them: Roanapur. However, unknown to them, the same bounty has been placed on their heads as well, and everyone in Roanapur is out to collect the bounty, the Lagoon Company included. This results in a shoot-out in the Yellow Flag bar that leaves all parties involved severely injured. However, the Bebop crew discover that the dangerous combat drug known as Bloody-Eye has found its way to Earth as well as a mysterious figure only known as Dragon Slayer, who brought the Red-Eye to Earth and set the bounties in an attempt to capture both the Lagoon Crew and Bebop Crew. With that knowledge in mind, the two bounty hunting groups reluctantly and begrudgingly set aside their differences and team up to find the Dragon Slayer, capture him, and split the bounty, which is now set at 10 million.
