| Is there any place on that planet considered safe? Lol... Either way, Vash and his crew got attacked yet again and seriously, I feel like Vash is tested more mentally in these latest episodes than physically. Nicholas Wolfood is still cool to have around, especially as an ally. |
 |
| Vash is a humanoid typhoon, because he looked the same way for so long over the years. So being easy to recognize. Thinking about it, Vash with a fake lumberjack beard would be interesting as disguise. |
 |
| I like that they're using some ideas from the manga like the regenerative liquid Wolfwood used(explains how he wasn't hurt after getting hit by the car). |
| vash is deontology vs wolfwood is utilitarianism or the end justifies the means |
| damn what an ep. Learning more about Knives gang and seeing Vash was involved with Rollo way before he ran away. Wow. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| lets see if vash has savior complex or survivors guilt |
| I almost forgot how much of a pacifist Vash is, being adamantly against killing people. That's definitely a recipe for conflict with Nicholas, who as we saw from this episode has no issues taking a life if he deems it necessary. StaleNut said: Most of the VAs from the OG Urusei Yatsura are still alive, yet were either recast to a lesser role in the new one while a younger VA took their place as the character they originally voiced, or are just straight up not involved in the reboot period. It's not like this is a new thing with reboots, especially when 25 years have passed. Plus if they're gonna recast characters like Vash and Meryl then of course they'll do the same for Nicholas.Why use a voice you're not gonna cast for the same character as the original anime? It doesn't make sense to have Hayami Show in a random sequence like this. Recasting is done when certain voice actors have passed away, retired, or no longer want to be part of a project of the same franchise. If Show is willing to voice as a random preacher for 5 minutes, then he is clearly available to voice Nicholas again. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Interesting episode, it seems like Trigun Stampede really is filled with melancholic parts in the past few episodes. |
| I like everything, ok |
| Love the background they gave to Monev. By the way, did we ever hear his "Knives" name in this episode (Monev the Gale) ? Was so focused on his new background that I may have missed that. |
| The wind finally blew but it was too late. I knew from how the episode was going that the big guy was Rollo. Vash seemed to know him from when he was a child, how old is Vash then? |
 |
StaleNut said: It's not as if I know the thought process that went into the casting decisions, but this is probably the reason why they didn't have him voice Nicholas again. Go for a younger VA but still give the fans a treat by throwing in Show Hayami's voice somewhere.I do think some voice actors of the original Trigun simply don't fit the modernized versions of the characters |

| Weakest episode by far for me, 4 previous episodes were way better with how they capture everything. But this felt underwhelming and slow. |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| Eh bit of a pointless episode with bad guy of the week but the flashback + real time part was executed well at least. |
| Whatever Vash touches Knives has to destroy. Heartbreaking to see that kid turn into Bane. What's the doctors deal, why would he work for someone like Knives. Also what's knives deal is he just a dick or does he want to take over the world? He seems to constantly go out of his way to fuck with Vash. |
| damn rollo turned into some bane lookin ass dude. wolfwood doesn't hesitate to smoke someone tho lmao. tough for vash. |
 |
| Wolfwood does not hesitate to kill when necessary....it just makes the conflict with Vash all the more interesting. I wonder how the final outcome will turn out. |
 |
| Very dramatic episode filled with really sad ending. Poor Rollo. Fighting scene was jawdropping, as it was the previous episodes. Bravo, studio Orange! I wonder how many episodes we will get. 12, or perhaps 24? |
| I liked parts of this episode. Some of the scenes were nicely directed such as the last shot of them driving away from the town. I also liked getting a look at how Knives and his crew create the enemies he sends after Vash. My issue with this episode is that the pacing felt rushed and the story telling felt disjointed. The time jumps were not smooth at all. By the end of the show I understood what happened, but while I was watching it felt kind of chaotic. This story line probably would have worked much better as a two part episode. |
| Can see the buildup to that inevitable conflict Vash and Wolfwood will have between them, I mean they've ideologies polar opposite to each other. Though I hope they take their time instead of jumping the gun. |
 |
| creations, bad way!!! :( kekeke |
| I really like the drama and the secrets in this show. Interesting to see Zazei and Wolfwood also working with Nai's crew. And how Vash barely aged over (if Roberto's estimation was correct) 25 years. I'm suprised the town powered by wind worked though. From what I saw in the first episode, I expected the plants to be "survival packs", including drinking water, food and stuff. Wind power cant do that. Oh, and Meryl should work on her combat skills if she intends to keep traveling with Vash. Getting chased by some insane "cration" on a daily basis kinda requires at least some marksmenship. Only thing I missed this episode was the relation to the overarching plot. Seemed very much like a one-episode-storyline aside from some interesting hints and maybe presenting the doctor and the blond girl a bit. |

| I kinda wish that the relationship between Vash and that boy would have more fleshed out because then the death would have more weight and Vash & Wolfwood clashing would have more of an impact. Sadly this episode feels very rushed and weakly composited considering how that kid has like 2 minutes of screen time before he's killed off. Feel like this episode should have been an arc of sorts (maybe 2 episodes of this instead of 1) I feel like there's completely wasted potential with Meryl & especially Roberto because they feel so one-note & uninteresting, they feel like complete side characters even though they are supposed to be a crucial part of the story which is very odd imo. Roberto especially feeling more like a one-liner dispenser than an actual character, and at this point I am struggling to justify why he was a replacement for Millie because he is super boring. Vash & Wolfwood rule though and their clashing ideologies is pretty interesting to watch, hopefully they delve into it in later episodes. |

| Meryl, Roberto and gang heading to JuLai, but stopping by a deserted village which has its plant already removed, and immediately chancing upon an armored human cyborg after Vash, they all run for their lives. The realization that the village is a place that Vash knows well through this kid Rollo, proclaiming that he would save him but could not follow through his promises, the sacrifice that turned into the human cyborg he is to get revenge on him. No matter what could Vash sway Rollo, he was a lost cause that had to be killed by Nicholas regardless of whether Vash would get him to listen or not. Ominous episode like the others before it. |
 |
| It was a pretty cool episode, but I'm a little worried about this pacing. My fear is that this adaptation will be a one cour with only 12 episodes. I liked Monev redesign and his new backstory, since Knives and Legato locked him in captivity and trained him to defeat Vash for 20 years, this was mentioned in both manga and in the first anime, that was a nice touch. But somehow these events looks so out the place here... we had four plot points in a single episode. They mixed at least three moments for Gung-ho-Guns members in one. Vash VS Monev = It looks like they also mixed the Gung-ho-Guns with the Eye of Michael into a single group. Next week we already have Livio the Double Fang, Legato and probably the Wolfwood backstory as well. And in episode 7 we will also have a confrontation with the Bad Lads gang (Brilliant Dynamites Neon). What a fucking roller-coaster, holy shit. |

| Maybe they plan to cast him as Would definitely be a fun way to incorporate the character/the original voice actor, especially since |

Bisalissy said: Since the overall pacing is rather slow and there is still a really big world map, I'd expect 24 episodes. Hmm, we could already see that Trigun Stampede doesn't follow the manga, taking some liberties with the pacing or the way certain elements of the world are presented. That's why I'd rather take a look at the world map. They are slowly, but consequtively, heading to July, although they are still really far away from it. That's why I think 24 episodes, split 2 cours, is more probable scenario for this show. I hope we won't get a sudden ending, far away from July, only to conclude the show fast. It doesn't seem it might happen, judging from episodes released so far, but who knows. There were some rumors saying that this anime was listed for 12 episodes, but I didn't see any source, and it doesn't have to mean anything more than we will have one cour aired during this season. So we can either have another cour in the future, or not. Unless there was already revealed how many episodes Trigun Stampede will have, of course. |
| Seems Nicolas is not the only one keeping secrets. |
LilyGinnyBlack1 said: People are getting the 12 episode count from this Tweet: https://twitter.com/SugoiLITE/status/1611752890376552448?s=20&t=BG5fJK9hNqz4UMOLKL1LKQ Ohh, I see. Thanks a lot. That's what I couldn't see when people talked about 12 episode count for this show. Knowing how many folks from anime community might overreact, I decided to not look for the source, but just wait for any official confirmation (or somebody linking anything to support their words about Trigun Stampede's episode count set to 12 eps). LilyGinnyBlack1 said: How valid that source is, in the sense of how often their leaked information tends to be correct, I don't know. Though they have a rather large follower count, so I feel their leaked information must line up with official information more often than not. Hmm, we will see. I will take it with a grain of salt, though. Like I said before, it might - but also might not, of course - refer to the fact that Trigun Stampede anime was scheduled for 3-months airing slot, therefore one cour, but with possibility of next cours (or rather seasons, heh) appearing in the future. It's anime original story anyway, so everything can happen. I just don't want this show to end in a rushed way, whatever the ending we will get. |
| Loved this episode as well. Poor Rollo. He didn't deserve that fate. Vash couldn't keep his promise. I felt so bad for both Rollo and Vash. |
 |
| I actually quite liked this episode, first one where it felt like stampede kind of had its own tone to it, but im flabbergasted at what roberto is even here for other than to just spout exposition. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
Apratim said: With each episode this is getting better and darker than Original Trigun 👌🏻 Agreed. I am really loving this. |
