I didn't see one around here...so I thought why the hell not?
There seems to be renewed interest in Trigun now so I thought we might as well have a place to discuss it.
To start things off, did anyone else notice the allusion in the last episode with the tombstone of the inventor of the Sand Steamer (Kite's father) ?
It seems that they actually spoofed history abit with it. I give them props for that

Not much of a Trigun fan, if they make a new season it may be able to expand on that sub par ending.

I've been reading the manga. It's the first time that I've experienced a manga that is just as good as the anime (or is that an anime that's as good as the manga?).

I like Trigun a lot, I think that it is very funny because Vash only seems to carry sick bullet's on him at a time. Also how Vash never trys to kill anyone.

Trigun is also my favorites.....I've never really read the manga, because eather the book store doesn't have it or I end up putting it back because I see another book I wanted. But All and all the animé is really good. I saw an ad for it when it was to come to AS the first time, that just hooked me right there.

I really like the show Trigun but sadly I go to school so I can't say up late and watch it on Adult Swim. I like Vash, Wolfwood, and the two girls from the incerince comany, Milly and Merail. The little cat is cute too, and in almost every episod. ^ - ^

However Vash does end up killing people, I know that there are the Gungho Guns (excuse my poor spelling, it's been a while) I THINK he kills a few of them (I can't remember, it's been a long time) and then there was Legato.
But the fact is he really doesn't want to kill. In other animes I've seen people get shot and killed and the main character(s) aren't really affected by it for more than just one episode, in Trigun Vash always remembers what he or others did so the show has more of a realist tone and emotion to it.
I was always wondering about something...I'll spoiler it just in case...
spoiler (highlight to read): |
When they say "Vash is a plant" do they mean that literally? Like, does he undergo photosynthesis? I know that he is one of those people inside the big light bulbs, but I always wanted to know the nature of those dudes. |

Vash is a bio enginereed plant-human hybrid. Im not sure if he undergoes photosynthesis though.

well..no point in digging up something THAT old. I mean I wouldn't have seen that anyways since it wasn't 'active' persay when I came here
Anyways...answering your question (please use friggin spoilers...cos you know there may be people who haven't watched it and don't want to be spoiled)
spoiler (highlight to read): |
Vash IS a plant. The word PLANT is used as a metaphor I think because 1) he isnt' a tree, 2)he has no leaves >_< and 3) it's only to describe that he is able to do stuff that seems completely inhuman and that this stuff looks like plants (mainly his ultimate attack with his Angel Arm).
He is bioengineered, cos the crew FOUND Vash and Knives in the cargo bay of their spaceship as infants and over the course of time they became more human like but they always had their "free will". They're probably aliens and not experiments made by human scientists, cos know one really knew what they were when they found them. Alot of this will be explained and showed to you in the last episode "Under the Sky So Blue", so keep an eye out for it

in a sense thats true but all he is doing is hiding behind the hatred he has of knices. without that hatred vash wouldnt be much of a pacifist
spoiler (highlight to read): |
besides knives blew up the ship along with rem remeber vash was pretty ticked off but not enough to hate knives, remeber ladies and gents knives went senile first!!! |
just a note dont you think in the 2nd season vash and rem will be reunited somehow...*sniff*LOVE AND PEACE*

My take on it is that Vash wants to teach Knives how to live with Mankind, OR he wants Knives to suffer for what he's done because killing him wouldn't make Knives pay...
either way, it isn't a bad ending at all. It's one of the best, if not THE best, I've ever seen! Killing doesn't have to end it because then you know that the season is over...you can't continue.
spoiler (highlight to read): |
Vash showed mercy and that just proves that he is truely the strongest because he could have killed Knives right then and there but insted he let him live. That's honorable no which way you look at it. |

They are 'plants' as in nuclear reactors. The current plot of the manga is centered on how fueling works for them. Vash and Knives are of the portable weapon variety.
The Angel Arm is meant to be...an angel arm.
Basing new eps on the manga would be really tough. In terms of overall plot, it's actually about where the anime ended as of right now. It just took a long, meandering path to get there.

and the only person Vash ever
spoiler (highlight to read): |
killed, was legato Bluesummers. He was REALLY close to killing Knives when they first landed on Gunsmoke. And yeah he's more like a 'nuclear' power plant. then a 'let's sit under that tree and have a picnic!' plant. |
you get what I mean.
