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 evil 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.
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 evil twin brother who hates all humans and wants to kill them all (Vash and Knives are actually not human). His motivations for becoming evil are much more interesting in the manga. In the end of the manga, he turns good, shortly before his death.
- 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. 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.
