Personally I assumed it to be not so much human experimentation, simply because we mostly got more advanced techniques now that doesn't require it, but more of a DNA/genome editing thing. Human experimentation is more prevalent on No Mans Land because they are basically working with scraps and ethics are looser. But I mean yeah hands on experimentation was the norm for most of human history too obviously.

But I am also pretty sure it's supposed to be representative of God creating humans in his image.

So I’ve had a bit of a thought about plants ever since reading Trimax (no spoilers because we get no answers though lol), and I can’t help but wonder if anyone else has reached the same conclusion? Given the twisted, often mutilated but human-adjacent form that plants have in any given version of Trigun, and given that independent plants are nearly built just like humans…

Are plants the product of human experimentation?

In every translation of what little info I’ve seen, it’s stated that plants were created by humans. Not the product of alien life or anything, but of humans themselves. And given how they look, and given Tesla… Well, I just think it makes an awful lot of sense.

It also makes both Knives and Vash’s plight a bit more interesting, if we’re all growing off the same branch.

#also yea Knives fear of humans stems from alienation #he doesn't think all humans are bad he's just afraid of their capacity to be #which YES it is ironic because Knives is at his core as human as they come. wether he realizes this or not (pretty sure he does #since he does drop the 'theres no difference between human hearts and ours') his intentions are and have always been self preservation #the problem isn't that they are alike; it's that humans will just see the otherness #and just as you've said: just as human history has proven: ''otherness'' lets people do heinous things without shame #it doesn't matter if we're all human. we're Different.#and there's more of Them than there is of Us #Vash also experiences the alienation obviously (constantly) but he holds onto the hope that humans can change and respect everyone despite #because if Rem could then so can the rest. Knives knows this too. Knives thinks this too. He just don't believe it's going to happen quick #enough that they will ever live to see it and therefore it's necessary to fight back #yeah I'm rambling again #but anyway it's not an accident that Knives gang consists of societal outcasts.#trans and gender nonconforming women; former sex ''worker''; physically disabled; dwarfism; disfigured #also Midvalley is there idk about him #trigun
