#listen. listen. in my defense i've only seen the beginning of trigun 98 and it tries really hard to be a clown picture.

[noodle-anime]

help i thought too hard about trigun and now i'm insane realizing that vash is a product of apparently asexual reproduction aka virgin birth from a species that accesses a higher dimension and provides water (life) on a lifeless planet

vash wanders the dunes in exile preaching peace & love to humanity (who, let's not forget, fell from the heavens and their technological paradise onto a burning, barren planet), is constantly persecuted for it, and accepts the shedding of his own blood as an act of his love towards humanity and as a form of atonement

and

is being lured back to another member of the "elevated" species (who wants to remake the world in his own image)

by a man who calls himself vash's friend
