Trigun
Summary
An anime and manga series about a legendary outlaw named Vash the Stampede, who is actually a pacifist and a big crybaby, and all the property damage was only caused by his incredible bad luck. Two insurance agents are sent to keep him under control. Hilarity ensues. But then sadness ensues, as we find out about Vash's mysterious past, and learn about his well intentioned extremist twin brother Knives. The manga follows this same plot, but is a million times better, with more character development, more emotion, better backstories, and the characters are much more lovable than in the anime. The beginning of the anime is an action comedy at heart, but gets serious later on. The first manga from which the beginning of the anime is based on, simply titled "Trigun", is pure action comedy. The manga's sequel, Trigun Maximum, is dark and mostly character development, plot, and action based, but there's a generous sprinkling of series staple comedic scenes to even out the tension. The latter parts of the series has a strong theme of extreme pacifism vs. kill or be killed.
Main Characters
- Vash the Stampede: A bandit who refuses to kill and just wants to be loved. He loves doughnuts.
- Meryl Stryfe or Strife: A bitch that's always mean to Vash for no reason in the anime. In the manga, she's much nicer. She was one of the insurance agents sent to keep Vash under control.
- Milly Thompson: Meryl's partner who is unusually tall and muscular for a woman. She carried a huge stun gun. She's a ditz and she loves pudding.
- Nicholas D Wolfwood: A badass chainsmoking priest who always wants to make sure the children are kept safe. He's Vash's best friend. He has a much more interesting backstory in the manga.
- Millions Knives: Vash's twin brother and the main antagonist of the series. While in the end his actions are undeniably "wrong", he had good intentions and just wanted to protect his people, though his hatred got in the way. He turns good in the ending of the manga, but it's unclear what happens to him in the end and it's up to interpretation.
- Legato Bluesummers: Knives' most loyal servant, who in the manga, has a gay crush on Knives. He is very, very creepy and enjoys eating junk food. In the manga, his backstory is delved into, and he's even more creepy in the manga. He has an obsession with pleasing Knives despite being fully aware that Knives would probably kill him without a mere thought had he not been so useful. In NinjaMitsuki's poops, he is often portrayed as either a furry or a flaming Drew Pickles-esque homosexual.
- Livio the Double Fang: A character that only appears in the manga. He's Wolfwood's replacement once he dies. Wolfwood's childhood friend, he becomes evil thanks to his psychotic split personality, Razlo. However, once Wolfwood dies, he learns to cope without his split personality to help him fight, and joins Vash in his quest to defeat Knives.
- Rem Saverem: Vash's adoptive mother who died long ago, but Vash still can't get over it so he whines a lot about her.
- Elendira the Crimsonnail: One of the stranger characters, Elendira the Crimsonnail is a gay transvestite who also happens to have a crush on Knives. "She" has a crossbow that shoots giant nails to impale "her" targets. Only appears in the manga.
- Midvalley the Hornfreak: Midvalley the Hornfreak is candidate for villain with the weirdest weapon of all time. He is a musician that plays a killer saxophone. Literally. He plays a sax that kills people with its soundwaves.
