Does anyone know how Wolfwood's backstory (killing his abusive dad and then presumably getting adopted by Chapel right after) from the 98 anime came about? It's not in the manga, but I was wondering if Nightow had any input, if it was an old idea of his that got dropped, if it was completely made up by the 98 writers, etc.

#trigun #trigun 98 #i assume this was an anime only decision but the episode is so formative of how many see wolfwood and how his character came full circle #and the fact that chapel WAS his legal(?) adoptive father that was inarguably abusive #and that wolfwood started in life with an abusive parent #(no ms melanie/no orphanage/no childhood innocence)#so 98 wolfwood feels familiar but very different from trimax ww/tristamp ww #like being shown the world is terrible RIGHT FROM THE START and not getting any better... that's very formative #98 ww is arguably more open about how he came into this line of thinking and expressed it versus (i think) his other iterations who #frequently suffer crises of faith or simply stomp on their emotions until they're beaten down #putting on a goofy persona as vash does #i know i know “but wolfwood is an orphan” yes but he HAD a semblance of a happy childhood! he knew he was loved and others were capable #of loving him!!#98 ww just had a conga line of trauma with no one really “good” to look to for guidance/proof until... maybe milly/vash #kids as a whole do not count in this instance. like an actual person to show him that the world can be good.
