Trigun

Vash the Stampede has a bounty on his head worth $$60,000,000,000. Wanted dead or alive for the mindless slaughter of innocent towns. The only problem was he didn't do it. Or at least not on purpose. He wanders the planet looking for a peaceful life but gets nothing but trouble due to his name. He's an incredible gunman that never misses his mark but he never shoots to kill. In Vash's mind no one should ever have to kill anyone, and no one has the right to take a life.

So how can one man, whom everyone hates, go about living on a ghost town of a planet? Watch this action packed series to find out.

Characters


Vash
Japanese seiyuu: Onosaka Masaya
The 60 billion double-dollar man.

Very little is known about him other than he's supposed to be a ruthless killer. He's really just a big goofball with an even bigger heart. Vash hates the idea of killing anything, despite the fact that he's a deadshot when it comes to a gun.



Nicholes WolfWood
Japanese seiyuu: Hayami Shou
The Biker Priest

Vash's number 1 best man. He wields one wicked cross. His "portable alter" transforms into a high powered shotgun, that he uses to convert evil. Okay so he doesn't exactly convert them...just tries to kill them. Unlike Vash, Wolfwood thinks that even killing can be necesary at times.



Meryle Stryfe
Japanese seiyuu: Tsuru Hiromi
The Insurance Officer

Meryle, with Millie by her side, work's for the Bernardelli Insurance company. Her job...keep Vash from doing just about anything.

The Telepathic One

One bad dude. He can blow things up with his mind which is actually pretty cool, except he's evil. He's Knives' number 1 servant. His job...destroy Vash. Or at least have someone else do it for him. Legato loves to toy with Vash's mind and pretend to kill little kids just to iritate him.
