Volume 1

The $60,000,000,000 Man

trigunThe legendary Vash the Stampede is a gunfighter so ruthless he has a $$60,000,000,000 bounty on his head and entire towns evacuate at the rumor of his arrival. Fortunately, the real Vash the Stampede is more heroic - even if he does act like a complete idiot.

Volume 2

Lost Past

A city is dying, but when they decide Vash's bounty is the cure, will they find it comes with too high a price? The reckless pursuit of rewards or revenge sometimes leads away from the true goals of life - love and peace. It's time for Vash to show what he can do when his past comes back to haunt him.

Volume 3

Wolfwood

Wolfwood, the man of the cloth with the cross, is also a gunman with a past. Like Vash, Wolfwood travels to find redemption in the desert but continually finds that confrontations with one's past can be far more deadly than a duel with pistols. Will these two kindred souls walk the same path or find each other obstacles to survival?

Volume 4

Gung-Ho Guns

Which is the real face of Vash? The clown, the saint, or the killer? Vash reveals more of his character and more of his secrets as he takes on a contract to kill, and then faces a man whose sole purpose in life is to destroy Vash! When a man is programmed to kill, can he deny his destiny?

Volume 5

Angel Arms

Bonds of love and friendship are strong, but some can only be preserved when they are severed. Vash must leave his friends and happiness behind as he walks the treacherous and bloody path prepared by Legato. The body count begins to rise as Gung-Ho Guns enters the picture, but Vash will do anything he can to preserve life!

Volume 6

Project Seeds

The seeds of life also spawned the seeds of death, but it is human nature to survive. Despite his urge for a simple life, Vash's past and his present continue to collide, and with Wolfwood's help, Vash resumes his crusade to save the world. Knives, puppets, and revenge versus love and peace!

Volume 7

Puppet Master

Vash leaps into the heart of the storm and leads Wolfwood to the space ship that failed to crash. Unfortunately the Gung-ho Guns have also invaded paradise with two purposes - destroy a sanctuary for humans, and to inflict as much pain to Vash as possible. Wolfwood chooses to side with Vash, but questions his ability to win - will Wolfwood walk the path of destruction again?!

Volume 8

High Noon

The choices one makes. The excuses one uses. What do they mean in the end if you don't get what you want? The time for the ultimate showdown has arrived, but will Vash be able to save everyone?

Commentary

The first half of the series has a light comedic tone. Vash doesn't reveal much about himself early on, preferring to be seen as an embarrassing dork or idiot savant. As the series progresses we learn a bit more about Vash's past and the series takes a decidedly dark turn. There is some violence and bloodshed, but, no naughty bits. I wasn't too sure about the series at first, but, after catching a few episodes on Cartoon Network, I grew to like it. I have the first half of the series on individual DVDs and the second half of the series in a DVD box set.
