Sometimes I think about how Nightow said something like (and I'm paraphrasing here) Vash only stays "Vash the Stampede" at the end of Trimax and continues to play that role simply because he doesn't know what to do

[mothlady-garden]

I'm so happy that this exists

I'm aware that the translation really isn't the best and the Trigun-Overhaul version will forever be my true version of the story 🩷 but it just hits different when you actually have the gorgeous art layed out to you like this for the first time.

I'm so happy!!!! The first 3 volumes of Trimax are so close to my heart Ahhgegxjxj

one thing i noticed looking back at the start of trimax volume 12... we get that whole sequence where Vash is standing at the precipice & thinking about his past

i'd like to draw attention to This bit:

i didnt notice it when i first read it, but... that sleeve bit there? he's holding his arm. we don't get to see what he's actually thinking, but he's holding the bicep of his left arm - the arm he lost. considering he's standing in wait of Knives for their final battle, he's clearly remembering the time he lost it. to Knives.

(more notes under the cut)

he proceeds to think through the mistakes he's made and the people he's met... but something noteworthy that I find really interesting is that anime-only characters are present in the lineup.

take these two pages.

it's the sheriff lady and the rich dude from 98 episode 2

the plant engineer from Lost July, episode 6

the fake Vash the Stampede & Frank Marlon (not the other Marlon we meet in the manga, who's his grandson) from episode 3

the boomerang guy (who is in the manga Technically, though we didnt see vash meet him) & the blonde gunman from episode 1. and the dancing girl & her guy friend from episode 11.

all "filler", supposedly, but Vash knows them. the implication of this being that Vash has had some amount of those adventures even in the manga (though the different Marlons makes that part a little more muddied - maybe he knew Frank Marlon in a similar way to the anime, though the girls couldn't have been there in this version if he's the current Marlon's grandfather).

also please just admire this pic of meryl and milly bc i love them so much

anyways.

the spreads continue until we reach this iconic page:

Vash went through his memories of all the people he met to steel himself for the battle to come, but these are the last two he thinks about. The two he arguably holds dearest in his heart, and the two whose losses hurt him the most. He remembers Rem as she was, smiling lovingly down at him. He remembers Wolfwood as he left him. Just a grave.

Their memory calms him. He's thinking of the reasons he's fighting, and they're the most important ones.

Bolstered by the memories of the people he loves and the mistakes he's made, he's ready to face his fate.

(all pages from @trigun-manga-overhaul)

so.

Spoilers for trimax (again)-- if you want to relive the pain, please please read this fic by @ohtyr. This doesn't do justice to the fic; i promise it hurts a lot more it's almost cathartic like,, im so normal about the angst

I was absolutely going to participate in the Trigun book club conversation, but I got to the end of what we were supposed to read for the first section and couldn't stop, so now I'm almost 3 volumes into Trigun Maximum and I'm loving it

[dearherondale]

I have to finish reading trigun max (and I need to finish watching tristamp) but I fear volume 10 has done sm damage to my brain that I may never recover

[eroticwound]

Trigun Maximum Vol 3, Chapter 7: His Life As A…

[eustaceloser]
