TRIGUN STARGAZE POP-UP Corner Announced!

The reason why I really like the scene from the 98 anime is because it doesn’t treat Wolfwood’s realization as a simple change of heart. It marks the beginning of his inner conflict, because realizing that Vash’s influence is getting to him doesn’t bring him peace. It disturbs him.

That’s why, by the end of the episode, Wolfwood leaves the group. He can’t stand being near Vash in that moment. Looking at him will only bring him pain, because Vash’s existence reminds him of everything he hates about himself.

So when Wolfwood says, “There was another answer after all,” it isn’t just him acknowledging Vash’s way of thinking being right. It’s proof that his turmoil has already begun. Because if there really was “another way,” then every decision he made in the past suddenly becomes something he has to look at again. Something to question. Something that becomes harder to justify.

An original newly written work by story concept creator / original story planner Takehiko Oki is in the process!

TRIGUN Official Complete Book

The newly unveiled cover artwork features Vash, Wolfwood, Meryl, and Milly.

The official TRIGUN Complete Book will collect the visual record of both TRIGUN STAMPEDE and TRIGUN STARGAZE in a single volume, looking back on the series’ turbulent story through plentiful visuals and detailed text.

The director considered the idea, but later changed it into Vash abandoning his coat and moving forward as we’ve seen, while keeping the same emotional and symbolic core.

Nightow said he asked himself, “What would Vash need the most after everything?” The answer he arrived at was that, after everything he went through, Vash would need to shake himself free from Rem—an idea reflected also in Vash’s own words when he says he will continue to believe in her, but from now on he will search for his own words.

I just love this ending a lot because of all the things it implies. Vash still believes in Rem, but he’s no longer only following her shadow. He chooses to search for his own words, his own ideals, and walk his own path. That shift shows that he is beginning to carry her memory differently—not through grief, sorrow, and guilt as he once did, but as a gentle memory he can always remember with a real smile.

In a sense, he frees himself from the past after confronting Knives, but he also frees Rem.

What I love about Ep 9 preview is that it lets us hear how powerfully Wolfwood lingered in Vash’s mind after that first meeting. He left such a strong impression on him that Vash began to question the meeting in almost divine terms: was it destiny, or only a small jest of God?

You can see it in the way he says his full name, Nicholas D. Wolfwood, too. Like the name alone had already branded itself into his thoughts.

And it fits so well with the way Wolfwood carries himself in the 98 anime. He carries himself with such mystery, charm, and ease that he slips into the group’s space so naturally and wins Vash and Milly over almost immediately, to the point that when he leaves again in Ep 11, both of them make it clear that they want him to stick around with them.
