  • Trigun is a series that originally began as a Manga in multiple Japanese magazines, and was adapted into an anime by Madhouse in 1998. The show follows the exploits of legendary outlaw Vash the Stampede, known as the first human natural disaster and a merciless killer. However, Vash is really just a goofy dude that loves donuts! Along with Meryl and MIllie of the Bernardeli Insurance Society and man of the cloth Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Vash travels the wasteland of the planet Gunsmoke fending off the attacks of the deadly gang, the Gung-Ho Guns.

    Surprised you didn't mention Vash's mutilated body at any point in the video. It really sells the point that Vash understands perfectly what the cost for his ideals are and that he is more then willing to personally suffer if it means upholding his no killing rule. Vash is a truly compassionate and kind soul who stands in direct opposition to the bleak and desolate world and ideology of the twisted. God I love Trigun so much lol.

    • @BType13X2
      @BType13X2 Před 3 měsíci

      I don't think Vash understood the costs of his pacifism until the end where he became more pragmatic instead of dogmatic. Yes he personally paid the price for his ideology, but the devistation brought on by his ideology and unwillingness to wavor from it was being paid by those who's lives he came into contact with. Some people were no doubt impacted for the positive, and then there were entire villages devastated where sure he didn't kill anyone but the consequences of him coming to town and what followed him left those people in a situation where it would be really hard to survive. How many times did you see a bystander get killed or maimed because Vash was unwilling to put down the bad guy? For close to 90% of the anime I loathed his character because of simplistic his ideological mindset was, it wasn't until the end where he accepted that you should do everything possible to not kill someone but killing them is an option if nothing else can be done/ their continued existence is an existential threat to the lives of others.

    I found the anime's reasoning for Knives' spiral pretty underwhelming. One guy being a abusive might cause him to hate that one guy, but Rem has always been kind and the rest of the crew seem to have been decent.
    The manga's rational made a ton more sense...For those not in the know, Knives and Vash weren't the first independent Plants the crew discovered. They had a "sister" called Tesla that the crew, Rem not included, had zero issues experimenting on. To the point where she grew cancerous tumors all over and ended up dying shortly after. And then they dissected her and stored her parts in canisters. Vash and Knives find this out and it traumatizes them, with Vash becoming withdrawn and Knives now decided humanity was disgusting and didn't deserve to survive.

    Bro, wildwood's death is the only death in anime where a character speaks to God and even accepts his fate peacefully. Have you noticed that? Characters like woolfwood usually go down in a blaze of glory which is absolutely beautiful, but wolfwood's death is a sincere apology to God just minutes after he's repented and decided he will not kill his enemy. And i personally believe it is the most relatable and magnificent death in anime history. Woolwood is a true depiction of the story of men through the ages. So brash and quick thinking in youth where mist of us never take the time to truly consider living a saintly life. I bought the anime on DVD so i could have all thise beautiful moments in reach. Trigun is my favorite anime by a significant margin.

    I will date myself by saying this is the last anime I bought on VHS when Geneon (previously Pioneer) was still around.
    You can tell this series really followed more of the shounen template of Trigun, than the seinan Trigun:Maximum would later become.
    I'm a bit disappointed as it is very evident that Trigun:Stampede isn't a true manga adaptation of a series that was previously done but had an original ending, due to the source still running. Like how Fullmetal Alchemist is an original ending, but is followed by Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood as the full adaptation.

    My only problem with the ending is that in sparing Knives, Vash has essentially ensured that his psychotic brother will simply go on killing more innocent people. A vicious rabid dog can't be rehabilitated, only put down before it causes more harm. Vash's decision smacks of Relena Peacecraft's lofty yet impossible ideal of 'total pacifism', also known as 'just laying down and taking it'.

    • @Mehfia
      @Mehfia Před 2 lety

      Not really though, Vash who had suffered in his journey just to keep a promise had learnt that earning scars and bending the rules is a part of an impossible journey and gained a tolerance to pain, Knives who didn't sacrifice anything in his pursuit of human eradication was afraid of getting hurt like we see in his desperate attempt to shoot Vash at the end, Vash proved time and time again that he could win situations where he was injured or in a disadvantage, Knives knew he couldn't do anything to Vash since both of them were the same but things change and Vash proved that and beat Knives
