[@Phodie56]

My favorite thing I never see anyone talk about is how the early villains of the series are all reflections of Vash in various ways. Each one has an aspect of Vash: his flair, his mechanical limbs, his humor/bravado, his skills with a gun, his reputation as a womanizer, all of it. Each of those villains is grotesque in a way, really showing how they are an exaggerated form of Vash. They are Vash without control or restraint. They show us that Vash could be evil, so easily, were it not for his principles. Of courses, Knives becomes the easiest example of this in the end, but instead of an aspect of Vash, he is a full reflection. It's poetic

I like the manga better, the show is still good, but one of the things I like that the manga did was add another level to Knives and Vash's relationship, because Plants die faster then humans do so Vash is dying near the end of the series, and Knives does his best to help him because he does care about him in his own messed up way, looking for a way to keep him from dying, along the way he learns to become human like Vash did.

[@KingKasper]

That's super dope!

[@RisingDecadeSeptember]

No Plants are not dying faster than human. Only Vash & Knives bcuz they abused their energy too much. They used too much Plant power to the point it drained and can't keep their body healthy anymore In some extra that approved by the author, Vash, although with his full hair gone black, still be able to live to 200 year old without using Plant power

[@zenmeru925]

I'mma share a sad story. I have never watched Trigun before, nor read the manga. In fact, I only started in this world a few weeks ago. I started watching original Trigun, KNOWING about the existence of Stampede, for the sake of my late friend. Vash was his all-time favorite character. This month has been his first anniversary of him passing away. Yeah I never knew who Vash was so I looked it up and I said, I'd watch Trigun on his anniversary. March 5th. I can see why he loved Vash, If he's well represented in the anime, I don't know. I never got to know If he read the manga. I watched it all, and I'm up-to-date with Stampede too. (I wasn't sure If I wanted to watch it... I've never been fan of the cgi stuff or whatever it's called. But If found out I could watch it too, and enjoyed it, most importantly.) That last episode left me wanting to know moreeeeee! I think my friend would have LOVED Trigun Stampede too. I love Vash too now lol, at least, from anime Trigun and Stampede. I like both versions so far! I think I'm liking Stampede a bit more though lol My only complain is, original anime Trigun needed MORE KNIVES >:C Srsly, the main villain, wdf, WHY DID HE APPEAR SO LITTLE. I'm loving Stampede Knives far moooooore. I should read the manga now, while I wait for next episode, woohoooooo And I'm totally forcing a friend we had in common, to watch it too lmao. That's what friends do, force them!

I hate posts like this. They mean nothing. No one cares bro, you obviously require therapy.

[@phillipj1135]

I'm not sure if it comes through on the anime but Vash and knives are kind of variants on the organisms that are in the reactors. The reactors are giant terraforming apparatus with female shaped plants that are arguably sub sentient in the bulbs. Vash and knives are different because there male shaped and poses intelligence which might only be because of the human interaction they had in there early life. It's why they call him the "humanoid" typhoon because someone in his past knows him well enough to say he's human shaped but not human. the manga I think has some plants from earth "also female shaped" showing up but I never got into the manga much. If there not using there giant hand cannons to destroy the towns around them then knives is convincing one of his sisters to melt down which also creates a lot of energy to destroy towns around them. Vash is mostly trying to stop knives.

[@KingKasper]

Thanks for sharing

[@rudeondude21]

The earth’s fate is unknown but wars made super soldiers and nukes

[@TyphlosionGirl]

Well actually I am almost certain that "humanoid typhoon" translates that way into English because in this part of speech "humanoid" is meant to be a literal adjective for "typhoon". As in "a typhoon that is shaped like a human". Also the people in the past did not give him that nickname, the people of the present that know the consequences of his relationship to Knives did because of how everywhere he goes, towns and cities miraculously get absolutely decimated. But yes although it is never explicitly stated in the original Trigun, all the plants except Vash and Knives are feminine in nature, while the brothers are the only masculine ones.

[@phillipj1135]

@TyphlosionGirl it's a weird translation anyways because (correct me if I'm wrong) typhoon is a tropical storm or part of one and Gunsmoke hasn't seen one of those in living memory. The name was probably sensationalism by the press, and I forget how old Vash is (like 400 years old) but I have to imagine someone recognizes what he is even if they didn't know him personally but yeah they wouldn't be the ones giving him that name. Humanoid is probably a demonization which people in anime are prone to doing. Got to imagine there's plants on earth male and female shape, and not really sure if they present either way in the extra dimensions they come from. Probably fanfare or something like it.

[@mithril7272]

Knives does actually directly call Vash a plant (the name given for the power production facilities in the anime) which shows that he is that type of organism/being. Also Vash is about 109 years old.

[@Megamibunny]

I never seen anyone bring up Steve being a reflection/result of Knives’ mentality and that Vash got his ideals originally from Knives. Knives was the one that said that humans will accept the two and that they have to grin and bear it, comforting his brother after Vash was abused by Steve. This established a lot of Vash’s ideals later on, not only Rem. Vash forgot because he was hyper focused on Rem’s death and never grieved nor recalled what Steve did. He only remembers what Rem said. Nor what the other crew members did either. Oh and Knives’ pain receptors are the worst out of any versions of Knives. Nightow did that on purpose to bully him.

[@inkmage4084]

I look forward to checking out the new anime, though I truly loved the original, though the manga more so. When this anime first came out, I remember seeing it in a magazine my older brother brought back from Japan. It made me redesign the main character in a little comic I was doing, which later became a game. He looked like Vash a bit when I initially drew him, minus the round shades and the long red coat. However I thought he looked a bit too serious and mean and though he is supposed to have a rebellious nature somewhat, as he is the lead vocalist/guitarist of what is called a Strife Metal Band (there is lore behind this style of metal), but he is supposed to be a bit light hearted though not goofy. I do not know why or how it happened, but the Chocobo of Final Fantasy, particularly the way it looked in Tactics and Flammie of Seiken Densetsu 2, were part of his redesign as well as Fenrir of Norse myth, people actually see it, in his recent portrait sketch lol. But his main influences of course were a younger Roy Batty of Blade Runner and younger Thouzer of Hokuto no Ken.. I felt bad for those characters as a kid lol. A bit of Billy Idol was added, as was Mash from Final Fantasy VI.. My favorite character from my most favorite Final Fantasy of all time! The character is called, KD7302-Kydan on his home world, but Einar Ulrik when he is adopted, after being accidently sent to Earth (he leaves at 15 though) The original game was heavily inspired by Chrono Trigger. There was no time travel, just travel to 3 different planets, derelict starships a massive city in space called Zot. We had called the comic/game "Armament of Volition", currently remaking both. This anime/manga is one of my most favorites, because it wasn't just good, but also made me stop doubting my work when I was a kid.

[@The.Viewer]

Actually I'm lying to myself about 98 Knives. I know the Trigun 98 was incomplete and was only based on the 20 chapters of Trigun and then diverges, but Knives doesn't compare to Maximum Knives, even Stampede Knives (the motives are understandable, he doesn't feel like a generic villain and he really cares about Vash.) Trigun Stampedes last episode got me in my feels. I love Vash and Knives in stampede, "Even if they hunt me, I’ll just run away! I’ll run, run, run, and keep running as far as I have to! And when things calm down, I’ll quietly settle by their side again. I’m Vash the Stampede.” 😭😭 mental breakdown stop doing this to me trigun.

[@Goldenkitten1]

@@KingKasper It's Studio Orange, literally the only animation studio in Japan that seems to "get" how to do CGI right. One can argue that it lacks the SoL shenanigans that fleshed out the original character development and it does cut straight to the Vash vs Knives conflict with no "mystery" as to what's happening. But this is largely because Yasuhiro Nightow was basically on board with the animation team and felt the original was far too padded and wanted this intentionally aimed at people who had seen the original. So yeah, when the creator of Trigun himself says "I want a version of my story closer to and more tightly knit for old fans" then I'm on board, not sure how I would have felt if they just made the changes on their own but knowing Stampede is actually what the creator envisioned his manga to be animated like made me far more accepting of it. Plus Knives first appearance is hands down one of the best first villain entrances of the year, possibly of several years.

something else i try to look into, but i think The existence of plants in the Trigun universe can be explained through the concept of Hopf fibration, where the plant's true form exists in a higher-dimensional space beyond our three-dimensional reality. By mapping artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial neural networks (ANN) onto the fourth dimension, the plants are able to project their shadows onto our three-dimensional world, allowing them to interact with humans and our environment. However, in order to maintain their forms in our world, the plants require human intervention, as it is humans who cast the systems that bring forth the plants into our world. To sustain the forms of the plants, they are kept within bulb-like tubes filled with bio and nano materials, which they use to create an image of themselves. The plants then interact with humans and our world, helping to materialize and convert molecules on an atomic level. This process is highly efficient due to the optimization achieved through the incorporation of any and all materials around them. However, independents like Vash and Knives are different. These plants were created by pouring the right amount of bio and nano particles into the modified materials, left over from previous generations of dead plants, which have been modified to remain stable outside of the initial container and then casting the algorithm into the fourth dimension. As they grow, more materials are given to them in order to reach optimal form. Knives is stronger than Vash because he was able to produce better results in incorporating the materials.

can someone explain? I watched the show a few years ago but I can´t remember if the human ship was supposed to land on the desert planet from the beginning, before knives tried to crash them there or did knives course corrections lead to heading to this planet?

I hope you'll watch the new version despite all the complaints. I'm speaking as a person who's never watched the original Trigun, but I've also seen many old viewers enjoy the new version. Better to make your own opinion on it. Also don't be squicked by the animation being 3D-- it looks really, really good. Look at some of the teasers they've put out to see if you like it

[@KingKasper]

I'll give it a try the cgi still scares me though lol

[@h2ojr1]

honestly felt the reboot wasn't old timey western enough, and the ending was off the walls bonkers levels of Sci-fi. I understand it could be some kind of prequel to explain the change in tone and focus as it's knives in his "prime" with total control and powers compared to the future where he may need to rely on mechanical weapons like Vash does, but it felt like a gundam was gonna show up at any moment with a lazer sword all the time.

[@ExeErdna]

After watching this, it confirmed why I think Stampede misses the point of how the story was told. There was much more weight in the original which just doesn't exist in Stampede

[@KingKasper]

Ahhh they just glossed over it in the new one?

[@ExeErdna]

@@KingKasper Basically the timeline is completely different. Like Vash is all sad yet July hasn't happened yet. So why in Vash sad if his defining moment to why he became whom he wasn't a factor. It's so messy

[@killemwifkindness]

​@@ExeErdna If you've watched stampede I personally think it was kinda explanatory in ep 8-9 why vash is sad. He was very guilt ridden by Knives' action and his gas lighting and the fact that he couldn't do much compare to Knives. I think it's enough reason he became as he is in stampede timeline. I didn't watch or read any of the og but recently I'm starting to pickup the mangas

[@ExeErdna]

@@killemwifkindness Yet that's why it's bad it's overplaying Knives too soon. Plus the July incident didn't happen yet so the timeline is even worse when it comes to Vash's guilt and Wolfwood's involvement. I know it's an adaption yet how the story is structured is simply worse.

[@killemwifkindness]

@@ExeErdna Each to themselves I guess. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with how it's played out in stampede, the show was running on typical 12 ep per cour and knowing Orange, they hardly make any anime that continues to a 2nd cour. They did what they could to introduce most important characters within limited episodes, established their motives and backgrounds as much as possible as well as carve stand out personalities in them. I'm saying this without comparing with the og, judging stampede as it is in itself. Imo, I think it did well. Even though I do have slight beef with its pacing during ep 2-7 and the tempo of storytelling within each episodes, I don't think the problem is too much in general to the point of saying that the whole show is bad; it surely could do better. That's why I hope S2 can improve that and blow more minds

[@samueljustine8244]

The premise of Trigun is more or less the same as Monster, but I don't know why I couldn't bring myself to watch it past episode 1 and mind you this is the same for the 1998 and 2023 versions of the anime. Somehow, the idea of a pacifist, peace-loving gunman doesn't really stick well with me, especially when it is set in a futuristic outer space setting. I know there are other animes such as Vinland Saga and Monster where the protagonist refuses to kill for some personal reasons or moral values, but Trigun just doesn't do it for me this time.

[@KingKasper]

You missing out man! But to your point, season 2 of vinland saga is frustrating

[@NairoBIG]

Naoki Urasawa's Masterpiece Monster? No comparison! Kenzo Tenma is a doctor who saves lives so him picking up a gun, even if he's unable to fire it, is dramatic as hell. It gets more dramatic to realize the serial killer isn't interested in killing the doctor, so the gun isn't even for self defense. Tenma just really needs to stop the monster out of deep regret for saving his life. The way he values life really resonates. Vash's character is a one dimensional piece of tissue paper by comparison.
