So what exactly is Trigun all about? Why is this anime called Trigun? Well I don’t want to spoil too many events, but I will give just a basic summary of what Trigun is all about. When Trigun first opens two insurance workers Meryl Strife and Millie Thompson, are given an assignment to find the infamous 60 billion double dollar man Vash the Stampede and keep him from causing any more damage (considering Vash has been blamed for destroying a countless number of cities).

Trigun: Story Synopsis
So what exactly is Trigun all about? Why is this anime called Trigun? Well I don’t want to spoil too many events, but I will give just a basic summary of what Trigun is all about. When Trigun first opens two insurance workers Meryl Strife and Millie Thompson, are given an assignment to find the infamous 60 billion double dollar man Vash the Stampede and keep him from causing any more damage (considering Vash has been blamed for destroying a countless number of cities). When the girls first meet up with the so called Vash all hell breaks loose when the person they find is not Vash but has indeed caught our unlikely hero already. Now personally I don’t blame Meryl for not beliving that the blonde haired, doughnut stuffing, not so swift, over animated captiee is not Vash the Stampede. After Vash (the real one) saves the girls and er swiftly takes care of the Vash imposters (well they were sort of imposters) Meryl still refuses to believe this “crazy man” is Vash the Stampede. After their first meeting alot of mix ups and misundestandings follow while all along Vash just so happpens to be under their very noses. Once Meryl finally admits that Vash is indeed Vash, the “insurance girls” and Vash have a pretty interesting journey together, especially after they meet up with a not so priestly cathiloc priest named Woolfwood (sigh, Woolfwood), but soon Vash’s so called ‘er’ “normal life” as a wanted criminal (which is normal for Vash) is soon shattered when Vash’s horrible past finally catches up with him. With bounty hunters, revenge drivened killers, Gun ho guns, and yes the occasional insurance investigator or two close on his tail, Vash must summon up all his wits, skills, and comic raves in order survive to live to munch another doughnut. Trigun has got to be one of my favirote animes (no wait it is my favirote anime) mainly because it’s crammed full of action, jammed packed with comedy, and spiced with just a touch of drama (ahhh the perfect doughnut). I feel Trigun is the perfect anime for any anime fan or people who don’t watch anime at all. There’s never a dull moment and I pesonally could barely if not at all second guess this show! I would definently suggest that any of you who haven’t watched this anime before give it a try.

Trigun: Weapons
Vash
The Eagle Arms .45 Long Colt (EF Auto Ejecting, Double Action) is Vash’s weapon of choice. The reason for this probably has to do with it’s good accuracy and power of the .45 long colt round. It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s badass. (Note: A few people have emailed me saying that it’s based off the Mateba design, but after looking into this, it’s not the case. The Mateba works more like an semi-automatic pistol, than a revolver.) The unique thing about this gun is the barrel, it’s fires off the lower part of the cylinder (the barrel is underneath) The gun also has other “special” uses specific to Vash, but you find out what later on.

Toy Gun Vash used this to play with the children, it has that little rubber thing on the end that sticks to you.

Nicholas D. Wolfwood
The Punisher This thing is huge, and heavy. It’s heavy “Because it’s so full of mercy” It’s got 4 main parts. The long piece is the barrel of a machinegun, one of the horizontal pieces is ammo for the MG, the other horizontal piece stores 8 of .45 Caliber handguns, and the shorter vertical piece is a Rocket Launcher.

Millie Thompson
Stun Gun Milly Thompson’s Weapon of choice. This thing is also huge. It’s got 6 barrels in the early ep’s and 8 a little later on. It fires large tubes that fold out into 4 parts, knocking targets down (and out) and clamping around them so they can’t move. It works for quite a few things, like launching the Punisher to Wolfwood and taking out robots.

Meryl Strife
Meryl doesn’t like big guns, she likes small ones, lots of them. She carys 50 of these derringer one shot pistols in either .45 or 9mm, under her cape.

Citiziens/Bad Guys
P.F. Marlin If you remember episode 3, Frank Marlin, the legendary Gunsmith designed these guns personally. These guns play an important part in one episode, otherwise they’re just collectors guns. They fire .45 Long Colt rounds as most of the revolvers in TRIGUN do.

Bad Guys
Generic Rifle This is the generic rifle used by some of the goons. It’s based on the M1 Garand rifle from WWII. (Except with a detachable box mag) It’s magazine fed and semi automatic.
AK This is triguns version of an AK I guess. These weapons are known for their odd designs and reliability.
