Sorry it took me so long to get these notes up. Between internet issues and pure busy-ness, it's been rough. But here they are! The notes from AX Day 1's Trigun Stampede panel! Now with images! (Sorry for Chilchuck's head in most of them. He's awfully tall for a half-foot.)
Trigun Stampede presented by Toho Animation, Studio Orange, and Crunchyroll
The guests for this panel were Yoshihiro Watanabe (producer at Orange) and Katsuhiro Takei (producer at Toho animation), with Steve Liu from Crunchyroll hosting. (They had a translator as well, but Watanabe promptly stole her job.)
One other thing I'm going to note before we get started is that this was Takei's first time talking about all this in front of an audience since Episode 12 aired. He kept looking out at the practically full auditorium (the panel was held in one of the ballrooms, so easily one of the biggest rooms at the venue) and seeing all the fans and cosplayers and just grinning from ear to ear. He was clearly very exited.
Introduction
They started off by playing a quick video recapping Season 1. (It really made me want to watch the show on a big screen. It looks great even on a projector!) After the video, Liu started in on the interview questions. Please don't take anything below as a direct quote unless it's in quotation marks; I'm not that fast with my notes, so I'm mostly paraphrasing and relying on my memory, either of which could include my own misinterpretation or just be flat-out wrong.
The first question was, how do you feel about the future of the series?
Watanabe said their passion (for creating more of the series) was burning within them.
Takei noted that when the show was initially announced at AX some years back, they were very nervous about it since they were remaking a well-known and well-loved title, but today, looking out at all the fans, he felt a lot more confident.
Behind the Scenes of Trigun Stampede
They then showed some concept art from the famed Trigun Bible. This included what Watanabe called "Vash's projection of Rem." Seems like they came up with this design before coming up with Vash's dark design.
They also shared some concept art of what most people assume to be spiky-haired Vash...
...but which Watanabe quickly noted is actually Vash in Episode 1. You know, when he's hanging upside-down. Takei added that Muto, the director, was a bit mischievous and had a tendency to lie to the staff about when certain designs would appear in the series. He apparently hid a handful of Easter eggs and foreshadowing (like Vash having spikier hair) throughout the series.
They also had some concept art of Knives and of Vash's wing.
They then showed some concept art for some friends all y'all might recognize if you read the manga....
...but in case you didn't, I'll identify the characters below:
Top Row: Vash the Stampede, Millions Knives, Meryl Stryfe, Roberto Deniro (the blank one), Legato Bluesummers
Bottom Row: Monev the Gale, Dominique the Cyclops, Leonof the Puppet-Master, E.G. the Mine, Nicholas the Punisher, Midvalley the Hornfreak, Hoppered the Gauntlet, Rai-Dei the Blade (his name doesn't actually look like Rai-Dei here, though, so they may be calling him something different or they may just be subbing in kanji; it's too small for me to tell), Grey the Ninelives, Livio the Double Fang, Zazie the Beast, Elendira the Crimsonnail
If you're sitting there thinking, "Aww, they came up with all these designs but we saw so few of them!" then I have news for you! Watanabe said we should be keeping an eye out for more of these folks in the next part.
Favorite Scenes
Next, Liu asked both of the guests about their favorite scenes, and before they got into talking about them, we were shown a video not just of the final scene, but the storyboard, the rough cut version, and the version used for dubbing, all on one screen.
Takei answered first, and he chose the scene from episode 1 where Vash goes up against Chuck Lee, a.k.a. the military policeman from July.
(The audience kept laughing at Vash's wonderfully goofy face in the storyboard.)
When asked why he loved that scene, Takei noted that everything they wanted to accomplish in Trigun Stampede was encapsulated in it. In the manga and '98, Vash is more funny and tough (although "a good-looking guy"), and here in Stampede, he's rather more wimpy (although "still a good-looking guy"). This scene is a good blend of both sides of Vash.
It also showcases a "good action scene," which he clarified by noting there aren't many anime where so much drama and emotion is centered around one bullet. Takei also noted (though it's hard to convey to you all via still images) that Muto trusted his animators to improve on the storyboards. He's not as strict as some other directors and didn't want them to feel confined to stick to it too closely, but rather wanted them to enhance what was storyboarded out as they felt was appropriate.
Which leads to Watanabe's choice for favorite scene: the one where Vash is running through his shattered memories toward Rem and finally breaks free of Knives' prison and yeets Knives himself out. (Alas, Watanabe did not, in fact, use the word "yeet.")
Watanabe said he chose this scene because he loved the details that the team added to it after the storyboarding. The storyboard just had Vash running, but they added all these subtle movements and emotion that created a much stronger impact. When the completed scene was presented in Studio Orange, all who saw it were in awe.
Upcoming Trigun Stampede Merch
First up, as many of you already know, we have the Special Edition DVD/Blu-Ray set, which is currently available via preorder on Crunchyroll.
Second up is a new Vash figure! So new they haven't finished coloring it yet, BUT they did note this will be Black Vash (a.k.a. Grape Juice Vash) from Ep. 12. Takei is particularly excited about this because he always wanted to get the Black Vash figure from back in the day, but wasn't able to, and now he's gonna be able to get his own Stampede version. This figure is actually designed by the same person who designed the Vash figures for the manga back in the day. Interestingly, after they picked him but before they met to collaborate on designs, he came up with the current design for the figure. This worked out exceedingly well, since the design Orange wanted for the figure was basically the same thing.
Also, this Vash figure will soon have a Wolfwood companion figure. Because you can't have just one of them. The Wolfwood figure is still being designed, so alas, no images of it yet.
There's also been a restock of the orders for the clothes collaboration they had with SuperGroupies before, so a bunch of that stuff will be available again soon. They're also adding a new item to the lineup, and that's a black version of the Vash jacket. (I checked their website and it looks like they might also be adding a Livio EoM jacket. Hot.)
Preview Stuff for the Next Season
Ok, first and foremost, I'm gonna note there was NO TRAILER SHOWN, so let's crush those hopes now lest they linger and lead to disappointment. What they DID show was this:
First, a preview image of the characters for the upcoming season....
TBH, the only difference I really noticed is Knives' hair seems fluffier, but new art is always nice! Also, this one looks like a win for foot, ankle, and/or hand fetishists.
Second, we got a lovely video thanks from Nightow himself!
(He said he wanted to be there, but unfortunately there wasn't a strong enough headwind for him to run to the con. And for the curious, he's wearing a Guillermo del Toro shirt.)
Nightow being a fan of Stampede and overjoyed that so many people love his story isn't new. (Wonderful, but not new.) What IS new is he drew this nice little piece of art for us all.
He said this was his first time drawing Stampede Wolfwood. He had to get them to send him 3D images of the Punisher to be able to get it right, but he enjoyed making it! He said "it felt old and new at the same time." He can't believe next year will be the series' 30th anniversary. (Congrats, OG fans. Now we can all feel old together.)
The third thing they released was this.
Given the amount of trouble I've had posting this, I'm sure plenty of you already know that the next season/final chapter is going to be called Trigun Stargaze. Liu asked Takei about this title, and Takei said something like, "I don't know what this is about. Trigun Stargaze? What's that? This is news to me." He then (after noting he had just been joking) launched into what little he could tell us about the upcoming season.
He said he can't talk about the reason for the specific title, but that manga readers can probably make some good guesses.
Trigun Stargaze will take place 2 1/2 years after Stampede. They want to keep in mind the original concept behind Stampede, that being that because the previous Trigun stories have been so amazing, what they create needs to be amazing, too. He said they're proud of what they've made so far. It went beyond your imagination. He hopes Stargaze will go beyond your imagination, too.
Cosplayer Highlight
They decided to call all the cosplayers up to the space in front of the stage next. There were SO MANY COSPLAYERS!! Foolishly, I didn't take a panorama.
Costumes included '98 and Stampede versions of Vash, Wolfwood, and Meryl, as well as a handful of Millys (Millies?), not one but TWO groups doing Barbie & Ken-styled Vash and Wolfwood (the Barbie Vashes shouted, "Hi, Barbie!" at each other when everyone went to sit back down), an old-school Legato, a Zazie, and a group fully cross-playing the characters (with Meryl and Milly being male while Vash and Wolfwood were female; they did NOT change the costumes for any of the characters).
Liu handed out prizes to a few of them (they didn't have nearly enough prizes for all of them), and then they had all the cosplayers bunch up and face the stage and the guests turn around and took a picture of everyone. (If anyone has a link to the picture anywhere, let me know and I'll add it here. No, you can't see me in it; I'm much too far over to the side.)
Guests' Closing Thoughts
They were actually running early on the panel, so Liu opened it up to any additional comments either of the guests would like to make.
Takei still seemed overwhelmed by all the cosplayers (like I said, he spent the whole panel grinning from ear to ear at the audience), and he noted he had been worried about the Stampede characters being accepted by the fans. This was his first time seeing all the cosplayers, and he said that made him "feel safe."
Watanabe said he loved looking at the "multiverse" of Trigun. It had these previous iterations, and now it has Stampede, and the fans have both adopted it and adapted it, blending the different versions together and even adding their own things, and he really appreciates that. Takei added that while they created Trigun Stampede, if in 50 or 100 years, a new Trigun series is made, that would be great.
The animation for Stargaze is in process. Watanabe said he just recently saw some of it (a clip of only a few seconds that he, of course, couldn't show us) and it blew him away.
Both Watanabe and Takei are fans of the manga and the original series, and Takei said he's really wanted this series to happen, so he hopes we all look forward to it, too.

Tucker feels like tearing out his hair and screaming until reality warps.
Visit Gotham, they said. They have great scholarships, they said. It’s not that bad, they said. Yeah well they can go shove it, because he bets that they didn’t have a bunch of golden-eyed not-ghosts following them around like Cujo does with Danny!

Trigun Stampede for some reasons: Knives doesn't need to eat or sleep.
Trigun the original manga: The first time Knives is mentioned, Legato informs Vash that he has been sleeping since the last time they met, aka years ago. He wakes up to meet Vash and goes BACK TO SLEEP afterward, only to be woken up days later by Wolfwood. He also does a big yawn later. He's a sleepy boy, less murderous when he gets to have his nap.
#trigun#trigun maximum#trigun stampede#million knives#he sleeps so much in the manga and when he stopped taking his nap he lost his marbles#bro took a nap of ten fucking years at least

human realm vacation shitpost: a few days into their stay, camila is like, "huh, i'm trying to find the steak knives.... they aren't in the box and they aren't in the sink... luz, do you know where they've gotten to?? i'm trying to make dinner" and luz, completely unfazed, is like "oh, yeah!! hunter put them under his pillow."
camila: w. what...?
luz: under his pillow. you know, in case somebody attacks us. i can go get them!
camila: hang on a second, honey.
luz: ?
camila: given that... the person most likely to knock on your door at night... is ME. can we, um, talk about.... maybe. NOT doing that.
#there's a throwaway line in the fics about hunter sleeping with a bunch of throwing knives in reach#and luz being completely unfazed by it because. obviously he'd never throw a knife at HER.#camila navigating how to tell hunter not to keep weapons in the bedroom#without him going 'and why do you want me defenseless huh. I SEE WHAT YOURE DOING HERE'#replies#toh#princess luz au#horrible mindscape trauma pals#camila noceda#luz noceda#hunter toh

The undertaker knew full well it wasn't like the fairy tales, but even if his angel were never to awaken, he'd still kiss him tenderly as always
So on the Vashwood Hell discord we came up with an AU where post July, Vash, broken both mentally and physically, drags himself into an abandoned ship, lays down and falls into a death like state and his plant powers cause and entire forest to grow around him. Meanwhile outside the forest the world is plunged into a perpetual blizzard, and Wolfwood and Meryl have to race to find Vash before EoM does. They can't wake him up because his consciousness has rejoined the plant hivemind, but they can't move him because he's literally rooted.
What about Nai? Well he's in a similar, if worse state (under a cut because of the body horror)
Yeah. Methinks Legato wants spare parts for his master.

I love the ending of Glass Onion (spoilers beyond this point)! Miles Bron falls because Helen uses his reckless super fuel to burn down his house and the world’s most famous painting. She makes his failings and his fragility plain to everyone. Nobody can ignore that his presentation as a forward-thinking, brilliant man is a lie. Helen wins because she destroys Miles’ reputation. That is the true power of billionaires. That is how they keep the people that protect them and build them up. When you strip away their reputation, you knock out their supports and bring them back down to earth. You turn their “golden tits” into brass, and nobody will lie to keep suckling on brass.

Oh, and I digress
‘Cause I must make you the perfect morning
And I try my best

omg aaaa pls do write yan!gangster coming home wasted and chill, im so obsessed with his skrunkly self!!! i think he has such an interesting dynamic with reader, how would he feel if she were quiet in bed and when he asked her why she said its bc she wasnt sure if she were allowed to make noise 🥺
friend don't TEMPT ME I need him lovey dovey wobbly near crying pink tint on his cheeks shirt half unbuttoned blabbering about how much he needs reader and would-- in explicit detail --describe how he would end himself and everyone he knew if he for some reason lost them. He'd fo sure be unhinged if they had managed to get out.
For reader in your scenario,, I think he'd be able to see it on their face. lips pursed in a tight shut with their face scrunched-- he'd think maybe he's hurting them, only to find out they're struggling to stay quiet. If anything, he'll be slightly hurt, knowing they're so cautious in every little thing they do to not set him off, and on the other, he'll feel a little proud for making it so hard for them.
"I don't care if you scream, I wanna hear every little noise out of that sweet mouth."
"Don't get bashful on me now; do I gotta work harder for you to say my name? Let me show you just how competitive I can be."
#Need him oiled up fr#In a perfect world he wouldn't n"ncon reader but I mean.. who are we fooling#I'd like to think he tried his hardest to stay away at first by just watching them sleep#kn1ves rants#knives rants#x reader#yandere#yandere x reader#male yandere#reader insert#self insert#yandere gangster#gangster x reader#yandere gangster x reader
