  • The man who plays the greatest music on the greatest stage of all in his final performance. I cosplay as him at Anime Expo and really wish I knew where to find a recording for the song he plays in this clip (It's not Permanent Vacation or Fool's Paradise) This is my dedication to Midvalley the Hornfreak. The show must go on!

    I feel like Legato told Midvalley to kill himself just to push Vash even further. Knives didn't want Vash to die, he moreso wanted Vash to suffer instead. Hence why neither Legato or Knives never tried to kill Vash directly even though the could've at any given moment.
    That being said, the contrast between the two brothers was highlighted beautifully in my opinion.

  • @astapler4808
    @astapler4808 Před 2 lety +14

    Considering he witnessed Knives' brutal disposing of fellow Gung Ho Gun Chapel, it's no wonder Midvalley opted through suicide. He would have spent his last moments suffering unbelievable pain and torture if Knives or Legato caught wind of his failure to take down Vash.

    Seriously he did not bring some extra guns, I mean I know Midvalley was not supposed to kill Vash but come on I would have kept my options open, fight until I can't fight anymore. But then again I guess it was "either die your way or die to Legato or Knives." But I just find it funny how I see this scene, in his head he's like "So you have bested me Vash, haha but you are sadly mistaken for I have plan b which will in no way harm you, but will take my life instead. Now take this *Pulls Trigger* BOOM! LMAO

    • @Gaelek13
      @Gaelek13 Před 7 lety +32

      Midvalley killing himself was deliberate and all part of the plan. (-_-)
      He was never going to kill Vash; his purpose was to threaten innocent people and see if maybe, just maybe, he could pressure Vash in to killing him to stop it (which failed).
      Then as a "fuck you" to Vash's philosophy and a nod towards Knives' philosophy that saving one person inevitably has repercussions for somebody else Midvalley kills himself.
      Midvalley, like all of the Gung-Ho Guns, knew that they were being sent against Vash to die. Either by his hand if they could push him to do so, or by Knives' hand to cause Vash pain.
      Even earlier Caine the Longshot committed suicide after he'd been defeated by Vash and E.G. Mine killed Dominique and Monev, all part of Knives' games and twisted logic.

    • @PrinceSilvermane
      @PrinceSilvermane Před 7 lety +4

      I never interpreted it as him intentionally killing himself. He probably didn't notice the barrel was damaged on the gun part of his saxophone.

    • @Broski8137
      @Broski8137 Před 6 lety +21

      It was intentional. The Gung-ho Guns were following Knives' instructions. Their jobs were to force Vash to kill [to protect], therein agreeing, or approving Knives' philosophical view on humans and how they related to Vash and Knives. If the Gung-ho Guns were unable to force Vash to go against his philosophy then they would kill themselves because
      A. It is contradicting Vash's pacifism by proving somebody MUST die, be it the innocents or the villians.
      B. death by their hands or Vash's would surely be a blessing compared to what Knives would do if they failed him.
      In the end the GhG members had no choice because Knives will kill who he wants when he wants. And abiding his will, makes their passing much less painful. You must remember Vash and Knives are bros. Knives just wants Vash to stop being so silly and accept he is correct. He doesn't want Vash dead. He just wants him to understand. Knives knew nobody on the planet could come close to killing Vash, except for Knives himself ofc.
