Hes also being tracked down by a pair of investigators, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson from the Bernardelli Insurance Society, and by a bounty hunter named Loose Ruth. Due to the inconsistency in rumors surrounding Vash The Stampede, the bounty hunters confuse each other for the Stampede, and Vash, Meryl, and Milly are able to escape. However, Meryl and Milly must go back, as their duty is to watch over Vash and make sure he doesnt cause any more damage that affects their company. Truth of MistakeTRUTH OF MISTAKE April 8, 1.

Trigun Wikipedia. Not to be confused with the DC Comics character Trigon. TrigunJapanese ,Hepburn Toraigan is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. The manga was serialized in Tokuma Shotens Shnen Captain in 1. The series continued in Shnen Gahoshas Young King Ours magazine, under the title Trigun Maximum,Toraigan Makishimamu, where it remained until finishing in 2. Both manga were adapted into an animetelevision series in 1. Madhouse animated the TV series which aired on TV Tokyo from April 1, 1. September 3. 0, 1. An animated feature film called Trigun Badlands Rumble was released in April 2. Trigun revolves around a man known as Vash the Stampede and two Bernardelli Insurance Society employees, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who follow him around in order to minimize the damages inevitably caused by his appearance. Most of the damage attributed to Vash is actually caused by bounty hunters in pursuit of the sixty billion double dollar bounty on Vashs head for the destruction of the city of July. However, he cannot remember the incident due to retrograde amnesia, being able to recall only fragments of the destroyed city and memories of his childhood. Throughout his travels, Vash tries to save lives using non lethal force. He is occasionally joined by a priest, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who, like Vash, is a superb gunfighter with a mysterious past. As the series progresses, more about Vashs past and the history of human civilization on the planet Gunsmoke is revealed. CharacterseditVash the Stampede is an expert marksman who tries to promote love and peace as he has personally said in several episodes. He can abruptly switch from merry to a stern, dangerous personality when threatened. Normally he wears a smiling facade, which Wolfwood calls a false smile. Beneath this smile lies the pain of the burdens that Vash has chosen to carry. Also known as The Humanoid. Typhoon, he is a wandering gunman who had a 6. Due to the incredible amount of damage he tends to leave after a skirmish, his status as a human has been revoked by the government hes now legally considered a localized disaster. Although a multitude of crimes are attributed to Vash primarily mass property destruction he always resolves conflicts with as little violence as possible and refuses to take the life of any living being. Beneath his normally cheery, even goofy demeanor, Vash conceals enormous power which he, himself, does not fully understand. His abilities allow him to dodge bullets, and exert considerable influence over events with very subtle actions such as throwing pebbles to alter the trajectory of bullets, causing a gun to misfire by surreptitiously clogging it with chewing gum, and causing adversaries to injure themselves with assorted sleight of hand techniques. Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson are two agents of the Bernardelli Insurance Company, sent to evaluate claims regarding the Humanoid Typhoon. Initially, they dismiss the idea that the chummy Vash is the legendary Humanoid Typhoon partially due to the lack of an introduction, but the two eventually learn much to Meryls dismay that this is indeed the person they are assigned to track. Meryl is also known as Derringer Meryl and carries dozens of derringer pistols concealed beneath her overcoat. Milly is also known as Stun Gun Milly and carries an enormous two handed minigun that launches large metal projectiles that are designed to knock opponents off their feet. Nicholas D. Wolfwood is a superb gunman, almost equal to Vash, himself. Wolfwood is a priest, and carries with him an enormous cross as a symbol of his faith and a reminder of his sins however, the cross contains a machine gun, a rack of automatic pistols and a rocket launcher. Wolfwood and Vash get into many conflicts over the morality of murder. According to Wolfwoods mentor. Millions Knives is the main antagonist, and Vashs brother. Like Vash, he is a sentient power plant created by humans, but unlike Vash, he is a cruel mass murderer that intends to wipe out the entire human race, considering them unfit for this world. Most of the situations Vash ends up in are, in one way or another, connected to Knives. Rem Saverem is Vashs mentor and childhood friend, who taught him the value of life. It is mostly because of her that Vash is the hero he is. Vash constantly finds himself asking what Rem would do in his situation. When this happens, Vash enters a peaceful dream world where he asks her for help. Gung Ho Guns are group of superhuman assassins consisting of Monev the Gale, Dominique the Cyclops, E. G. Mine, Rai Dei the Blade, Leonof the Puppet Master, Gray the Ninelives, Hoppered the Gauntlet, Zazie the Beast, Midvalley the Hornfreak, Caine the Longshot appears only in the anime version, Chapel known as Chapel the Evergreen in the anime, and Elendira the Crimsonnail appears only in the manga version. All members have extraordinary abilities and equipment. Their leader is Legato Bluesummers, a fanatical henchman of Knives who shares his nihilistic philosophy and possesses telepathic powers, who sends them out to attack Vash and cause him as much suffering as possible. He also is the owner of Vashs real left arm in the anime series. The groups lineup differs slightly between the anime and manga versions of Trigun, with some characters appearing in one but not the other. The Eye of Michael is an additional organization led by Chapel that appears only in the manga. Eye of Michael members are all specially trained assassins with superhuman abilities. The members that are shown in the series are Nicholas D. Wolfwood, Livio the Double Fang, and Razlo the Trip of Death. After leaving college, Yasuhiro Nightow had gone to work selling apartments for the housing corporation Sekisui House, but struggled to keep up with his manga drawing hobby. Reassured by some successes, including a one shot manga based on the popular video game franchise Samurai Spirits, he quit his job to draw full time. With the help of a publisher friend, he submitted a Trigun story for the February 1. Tokuma Shoten magazine Shnen Captain, and began regular serialization two months later in April. However, Shnen Captain was canceled early in 1. Nightow was approached by the magazine Young King Ours, published by Shnen Gahsha, they were interested in him beginning a new work. Nightow though, was troubled by the idea of leaving Trigun incomplete, and requested to be allowed to finish the series. The publishers were sympathetic, and the manga resumed in 1. Trigun Maximum,Toraigan Makishimamu. The story jumps forward two years with the start of Maximum, and takes on a slightly more serious tone, perhaps due to the switch from a shnen to a seinen magazine. Despite this, Nightow has stated3 that the new title was purely down to the change of publishers, and rather than being a sequel it should be seen as a continuation of the same series. The 1. 4th tankbon was published on February 2. Shnen Gahsha later bought the rights to the original three volume manga series and reissued it as two enlarged volumes. In October 2. 00. US publisher Dark Horse Comics released the expanded first volume translated into English by Digital Manga, keeping the original right to left format rather than mirroring the pages. Trigun Maximum followed quickly, and the entire 1. May 2. 00. 4 to April 2. Translations into French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish have also been released. An anthology manga titled, Trigun Multiple Bullets ,Toraigan Maruchipuru Barettsu featuring short stories written by several manga artists such as Boichi, Masakazu Ishiguru, Satoshi Mizukami, Ark Performance, Yusuke Takeyama, Yuga Takauchi and Akira Sagami was released in by Shonen Gahosha in Japan in December 2. North America on March 6, 2. Madhouse produced an anime series based on the manga, also titled Trigun.
