TRIGUN

SUMMARY:
Trigun (トライガン, Toraigan?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow, published from 1995 to 2007 and spanning 14 collected volumes.

Known for its Space Western theme, Trigun is about a man named "Vash the Stampede" and the two Bernardelli Insurance Society employees 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 "60,000,000,000$$" (sixty billion "double dollars") bounty on Vash's head for the destruction of the city of July. However, he cannot remember the incident clearly due to his amnesia. 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.

As the series progresses, more is gradually learned about Vash's mysterious history and the history of human civilization on the planet Gunsmoke. The series often employs comic relief and is mostly light-hearted in tone, although the tone shifts toward darker and more dramatic situations as it draws to a conclusion. It also involves moral conflict pertaining to the morality of killing other living things, even when arguably justified (i.e. self-defense/defending others).

CHARACTERS:

1. Vash is a very lighthearted, expert marksman that tries to promote love and peace as he personally said in several episodes. He is a very merry person that dislikes seriousness, but is constantly forced to be due to the situations he finds himself in. Also known as Vash the Stampede and The Humanoid Typhoon, he is a wandering gunman with a 60 billion double dollar bounty on his head. Every town he passes through either labels him "an act of God" or "a human disaster".

2. Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson are two Bernardelli Insurance agents sent to evaluate claims regarding the Humanoid Typhoon. Initially, they dismiss the idea that the real Vash is the legendary Humanoid Typhoon (Partially due to the lack of an introduction), but the two eventually learn that this is the person they are assigned to track.

3. Knives The main antagonist, and Vash's "brother". Most of the situations Vash ends up in are, in one way or another, connected to Knives.

4. Rem Saverem Vash's mentor and childhood friend, who taught him the value of life. It is mostly because of Rem that Vash is who he is. Vash constantly finds himself asking what Rem would do in his situation.

5. Nicolas D. Wolfwood A superb gunman, almost equal to Vash himself, and arguably the most skilled human being with a pistol in the series, Wolfwood is a priest who wields an enormous cross "to carry his sins". Nicolas and Vash get into many conflicts over the morality of murder. According to Wolfwood "sometimes we are driven to become the devil himself". Wolfwood is a tragic figure in that his redemption comes at a terrible cost.

So that is my featured anime for the week.
I hope you enjoy it.
