With that being said, the anime is not 100% faithful to the manga, but it still captures the atmosphere and tone of original text quite masterfully, and those qualities are especially important when it comes to the narrative of Trigun. It’s not a bad way to approach the show, as it adds a bit of nuance to the experience, but nothing will be lost from viewing the show without reading first except for a greater appreciation for the manga. This allowed me to get a glimpse of the series’ origins before taking the visual plunge.

My experience with Trigun was very similar to how I approached Akira, as I was able to read the manga before watching the series (although not the Trigun Maximum series). After 26 episodes (and a film that came much later), I can say with confidence that Trigun was worth the effort. As a self-proclaimed fan of 90s anime, Trigun was a necessary pit stop on my quest for discovering the best anime that decade had to offer. The above description came from Mel and V.T.S., and was edited by yours truly.Trigun was something that was on my list for a very, very long time. In a quote referring to the Trigun manga, he said that Vash was "about 180 centimeters, more or less, I guess." Even Yasuhiro Nightow, creator of Trigun, doesn't know exactly. And then, of course, it could just be some made-up units that don't have anything to do with either feet or inches. Some suggest that it should 7'2.0", while others feel that it was probably supposed to mean 72" (which would be 6 feet). If this measurement is intended to be in feet and inches, then it makes no sense seeing as how there are only 12 inches in a foot. When Vash entered the quick draw tournament, his height was listed as 7'20". Vash's height has been a different source of mystery to Trigun fans. The one closest to Rem contained two "newborn" babies, Vash and Knives. By the time the rest of the crew arrives to try to stop him, his body is totally disintegrated and his DNA scrambled to numerous plants. After this, Rem goes looking for him to find his body disintegrating and his DNA scrambling throughout the inside of the plant. Rem comments that Vash looks like "Alex", who died prior to the first episode (which is shown in a flashback cut scene showing that Alex committed suicide and went into a highly radiated zone: the ship's plant). Are there many men who carry his name from generation to generation? Or is this one and the same person? His past is a mystery. He appears and disappears throughout the history of the planet. If there's one more thing that's certain about him, it's that this devil who wears a red coat is watching people's lives from a distance. But believe it or not, it's his right arm that's the more dangerous. The hand lowers to reveal a concealed gun. Another interesting note is that Vash's left arm is actually cybernetic. 45 Long Colt) is fired, no enemy remains standing. Yet those rumors have just one thing in common.that he is superbly skilled in gun techniques.

A soft-hearted guy who is a pacifist and who had never killed a soul until forced to do so by Legato. His good nature is unparalleled but credulous. There are, however, those few who have dealt with him closely tell of his true nature. There are many who doubt the existence of this half legendary figure. He changed one of the Seven Cities into a mountain of rubble, made a big hole on the Fifth Moon, and some say he was directly involved in the Big Fall, the crash of the spaceships, over a hundred years ago. Unbelievable rumors about him flow through the public like wind. Unfortunately he has no luck and wreaks more havoc than he can fix (poor guy). He travels around "Planet Gunsmoke" (the name on the toy box) and tries to bring peace to where there once was chaos. Vash is a peace loving, donut eating, girl crazy pacifist.
