Trigun  

トライガン, パイロット版 TRIGUN, Trigun Pilot

The majority of Vash's reputation as a destructive figure comes from bounty hunters seeking the 60 billion "double dollars" reward for capturing him. Despite his lack of memory about the destruction of July, Vash only desires love and peace. He is an exceptional marksman but uses his weapons solely to protect lives. As the series progresses, more information emerges regarding Vash's enigmatic past and the history of humanity on Gunsmoke, a desert planet where the story takes place. The tone of Trigun is often humorous, yet it also involves profound character development and intense emotional moments. Alongside Vash, there is a priest named Nicholas D. Wolfwood who is nearly as skilled with guns as Vash himself. Later, he becomes embroiled in a conflict with the Gung-Ho Guns, an assassination squad whose motives remain unclear. Trigun raises thought-provoking questions about morality, such as: What constitutes moral values? Can different ethical systems be judged fairly? If someone must violate their moral code to survive, does this negate the validity of that code? Is it possible for individuals to seek redemption from past wrongdoings?

Trigun was published in two volumes by Dark Horse from October 21, 2003 to January 10, 2004, which were collected into an omnibus edition released on October 22, 2013.
