Series
Info |
 In the
distant future, on a desert planet, there is a legendary
gunman. His name is Vash the Stampede, aka the Human
Typhoon. A gunslinger so dangerous, that a $$60,000,000,000
reward has been placed on his head! Vash, also known as
the Humanoid Typhoon, has been credited with the
destruction of several towns, but miraculously, there is
no record of him ever taking a life, However, only two
things ever happen to those who catch up to Vash - they
either crawl away wounded (mostly from self-inflicted
damage), or they stagger away in disbelief that such a
dork could possibly be the man they are looking for!
Created by Yashuhiro Nightow, Trigun is composed of 26
episodes and is based on the manga, Trigun originally
published in the magazine Shounen Captain, from the
publishing company Tokuma Shoten, serialized from June
1995 to February 1997, however the publishing company
stopped the serialization of the series so it was moved
to the magazine Young King Ours published by Shounen
Gahosha under a the title Trigun Maximum.
 The setting
of the series is an unnamed, barren and harsh planet
revolving on star system with two suns. The people are
humans from Earth, who were remnants of the SEEDS Project.
This was an ambitious expedition to find a new home for
humans since the earth was terribly polluted and its
resources depleted, however on the way to find a new
home, the expedition met disaster at the hands of one of
its own, the deranged twin of Vash, Knives(these two were
brought along with the SEEDS project, and were physically
and mentally superior than the average human) forced all
the ships to crash on the barren planet, killed all of
the crew, including Rem Savarem, who taught Vash about
the technology to make a planet suitable for humans to
live and to value all forms of life. Vash put all this
all in his heart but unfortunately, Knives who was abused
by a crew member was twisted by hate and revenge and
vowed to kill all "evil" humans and thus
engineered the destruction of Project SEEDS.
The Legend of
the Humanoid Typhoon. Vash leaves Knives after a shooting
incident involving themselves. He went on to study the
technology to tame the planet they crash-landed on. He
went to meet a scientist from July town who was also
researching about the technology to make a planet
habitable, but was ambushed by Knives in the scientist's
office(he already was killed by Knives), Knives activated
Vash's "Angel Gun" and leveled the entire town
of July. He was therefore framed for the death of the
scientist and the destruction of the town of July and a
bounty of 6 billion double dollars is put on the head of
Vash--now known as the "Humanoid Typhoon".
The problem
is the bounty hunters after him, who hunt him down with
so much bravado and gusto that causes heavy collateral
damage to the towns where Vash is said to have visited,
and all this is blamed on Vash, enter the insurance
agents Meryl and Milly from the Bernardy Insurance
Company. They were sent to babysit Vash and minimize
property damage. Their problem is no one knows what the
real Vash the Stampede looks like.
