Quick Character Analysis: Vash the Stampede!

TRIGUN SPOILERS AHEAD

A not-quite-human fellow, he was raised on the spaceship that first deposited humans on the planet 150 years before the series begins. He had a brother, (named Knives Millions as if to remind you that you're reading a manga), who killed their caretaker and sabotaged the colony ship.

Vash is a capable gunman, but lives the way his caretaker would have wanted, as a pacifist. The huge bounty on his head makes that a challenge.

That conflict between the constant violence that follows him and his determination not to kill gives us most of our drama. It's the sort of setup you'd expect for a static character: Can he remain strong in the face of increasing pressure to break his code?

His backstory is revealed in bits and pieces, but important bits are hinted early on, which strengthens the drama. We learn who his caretaker was and how much he loved her, and it lends weight to his relentless optimism and pacifism, it tells us why he fights to maintain them.

It also feeds into his personality. The goofiness that he maintains even in a hail of bullets isn't just there for comedy, it's a reflection of his ideology: to keep a light heart even in the most dire situations. The moments where that comedic persona drops away are even more powerful by comparison.

The drama is further deepened by the inclusion of a pair of traveling companions who learn bits of his backstory just a little slower than the reader. Seeing their curiosity about him, and their reactions to what they learn, gives his character more anchor points and his emotional journey higher stakes.

Vash finds a foil in his brother, who doesn't think humans deserve to exist. It's a bit of a stereotypical villain motivation, but it contrasts Vash's determination to protect people. In the same vein, the setting itself acts as a foil for him: it's an unforgiving land where people use and abuse each other for profit. It's clear that he can't fix that, so the question is whether he can stand up to it without breaking, and for how long.

Vash is well suited to a long, serialized story. He's a character with a simple, dramatic backstory and an over-the-top personality. He doesn't change much, but his most important facets are reinforced and reiterated over and over again, explored and challenged in different ways. He's not very subtle or complex, and doesn't have to be. Peak shounen character, imo.

Has anyone dug deep enough to figure out if the violin he plays in TFP is actually a Strad? 

I know his normal violin (which is such a pretty caramel honey color - I’m jealous) is of German make and came from a violin shop in Wales, and I assume they provided him with his ‘fancy’ violin for TFP but I just  . . . I’m doubting that that’s a Strad. Probably a violin made to look like one. There so few playable Strads around nowadays, if they’re not in private collections or behind glass, and the ones that are playable are BEING PLAYED by people like Joshua Bell. Unless Josh is a massive Sherlock fan, (and rewrote the insurance policy on the instrument) I doubt he’d let his precious, priceless Strad out of his hands for one moment. 

Sorry, these are the random things I think about when I see violins on film. 

Also, Guarneri doesn’t get nearly as much name-dropping attention as Stradivari does and this makes me sad because del Gesu violins are just as gorgeous, and perhaps, maybe, just my opinion, even better than Strads. 

I’ll stop rambling now. 

I do love seeing Sherlock with his violin. Ben should really learn how to play. He’d probably be very good at it, though perhaps a Viola would better suit his massive hands. hehe. 

I bet @inevitably-johnlocked knows the answer to this! Steph knows everything. 

Delicate fingers caress the violin like he’s her tender lover🎻 #Sherlock #BenedictCumberbatch

My dad gave me an old Violin that belonged to a relative who passed I think. It’s a Rothenberg 1732 Stradivarius recreation (was written as “Stradavarious” on the info card inside 🤣) from many years ago. Not entirely sure how old this one is but most likely made before the 2000’s. She needs some fixing up but here’s hoping she can be played. Thank you so much dad! #violin #stradivarius #rothenberg https://www.instagram.com/p/CVPA1zrsfCH/?utm_medium=tumblr
