Vash’s final showdown with Knives. Their past is revealed in a long flashback, then they draw their guns.
Vash is finally forced to confront the fact that even though he tried to avoid killing, many people nevertheless died because of him. He considers giving up his search for Knives, but Millie and Meryl help him out and get him to finish the job.
Provoked by Legato, Vash prepares to fight. Just as he is leaving, however, the last of the Gung-Ho Gang, Midvalley the Hornfreak attacks with his death-dealing saxophone. And beyond him, Legato waits.
Wolfwood reveals that he is not who he claimed to be, but had been following Vash for another reason. However, he is torn between Vash’s admirable philosophy and the only way of life he has known. Gung-Ho Guns nine and ten, Chapel the Evergreen and Caine the Longshot, attack, and Vash struggles with some serious [...]
Refused entry to a paranoid city, Vash, Wolfwood, Meryl and Milly stay with a group of orphans in the hills. Gung-Ho-Guns number eight, Zazie the Beast, launches a sandworm attack. Wolfwood reacts, apparently without thinking, and Vash gives him grief for it.
The continuation of “Flying Ship.” Leonof and Gung-Ho Guns six and seven, Hopperd the Gantlet and Gray the Ninelives, attack. Vash shows his experience with the power plants, and a deceptive plot is uncovered.
Vash and Wolfwood hitch a ride to Sky City, an old plant that never crashed and still sustains a sizeable population suspended in midair. But the people there are unfriendly to ousiders, especially to Vash and Wolfwood.
Meryl and Millie re-enter the story as the hijacked sand steamer they’re on arrives in the town where Vash is visiting an old friend. Meanwhile, Gung-Ho-Guns number five, Leonof the Puppet Master, catches up to Vash.
Two years have passed since the Fifth Moon Incident. Vash has changed his identity and is living more or less peacefully with a young girl named Lynna and her grandmother. Wolfwood tracks him down to deliver some disturbing news, and after dispatching a local gang, it’s time for Vash to leave again.
A flashback to Vash’s past on board a ship, with him, Knives, and Rem. Knives is revealed to be an extreme sadist, but he and Vash plan to escape anyway, along with Rem.
Vash squares off with Gung-Ho Gun three, E.G. Mine, and defeats him easily, but then meets number four, Rai-Dei the Blade. Rai-Dai draws blood, but Legato uses his mind tricks to force Vash to use third and largest gun.
Vash comes across a saloon where Legato has killed everyone, and then Vash is challenged by the second of the Gung-Ho Guns, Dominique the Cyclops. Afterwards, Vash tells Millie and Meryl that he has to go, and that they cannot go with him.
As Vash and crew discover a verdantly vegetated landscape, Trigun takes a look at family values. An elderly couple holds the title for the land, but some guy named Morgan wants to take it, and hires out the rest of the Nebraska Family to fake care of it.
Mostly a recap of the first 12 Episodes with the excuse being that Meryl is sending her report back to the insurance company, but it does contain some original sequences, and a commentary on the action thus far.
Trigun begins to take a decidedly darker turn as Legato Bluesummers comes to kill Vash, frames him for murder, and then Monev the Gale of the Gung-Ho Guns levels an entire jailhouse just to get at Vash.
