History Trivia / Trigun

* TheOtherDarrin: The only voice actor to return to reprise their role for the movie's English dub was Creator/JohnnyYongBosch as Vash the Stampede. Jeff Nimoy and [[Creator/DorothyEliasFahn Dorothy Fahn]] were both interested in reprising their roles (of Wolfwood and Meryl, respectively), but Creator/{{Funimation}} replaced them behind their backs mid-negotiation. Lia Sargent was also replaced as Milly, but this was expected as she had retired from voice acting years earlier.
** The story gets crazier. Apparently Bosch, Nimoy, and Fahn originally approached Funimation with the position "You'll take all of us or you'll get none of us". After that, Funimation managed to get Bosch – who had [[Manga/{{Beck}} worked with them before]] – alone, and persuaded him to go to Texas anyway without telling the others. Unsurprisingly, Nimoy and Fahn were livid when they found out, and Nimoy (who has been surprisingly candid about the ordeal when asked) has said he finds it difficult to forgive Johnny. Note that the reason there was an impasse in the first place is because the terms Funi was offering were such that Nimoy and Fahn would have lost income.
*** ''Stampede'' will be recasting everyone on the Japanese end, though with some characters' ([[Creator/HiromiTsuru most notably Meryl]]) needing to be recast by necessity since some of the original cast has passed away.
*** On the dub's end rearding ''Stampede'', Knives'll need to be recast too since his OG dub voice actor, Kirk Baily [[note]] credited as Bo Williams as the original show's dub was non-union [[/note]] passed away in early 2022.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For an unknown reason, volume 3 of the Maximum omnibus edition had very few copies printed. This resulted in said volume being very rare and goes for hundreds of dollars second-hand, to the point of being a grail within the fandom. If you want to read that portion of the manga without paying an exorbitant amount of money, you'll have to go digital or find the older non-omnibus printings.

* CreatorPreferredAdaptation: Yasuhiro Nightow '''''loved''''' the anime, largely ''because'' it was able to distill so neatly the manga's basic messages. He even drew the anime's filler characters into later manga chapters whenever an opportunity presented itself.

** In the Latin American Spanish dub, Francisco Zambrano was the ADR director as well as Capilla Evergreen's voice actor.

* FanNickname: Leggie or Leggah for Legato; Bashu (i.e. the Japanese pronunciation) for Vash; Wolfie, Wolf, Nico, Woof, or Nick for Nicholas D. Wolfwood; sometimes Naibuzu (the Japanese pronunciation) or "Several Forks" for Knives. There's also some people that call E.G. Mine "Egg".

* ChannelHop: The manga did this out of necessity. It began publication in ''Shonen Captain'', but the magazine shut down in early 1997, right before the story reached Fifth Moon and Knives's [[TheReveal reveal]]. After finishing the last chapter for the then-final collected volume to give the series some sense of closure (albeit a real DownerEnding), the story lay dormant for over a year before finally being picked up by seinen magazine ''Young King Ours'' and continuing as ''"Maximum"''.

* ActorAllusion: William Conrad is named after the character from the radio show Gunsmoke. He also bares a striking resemblance to Patrick Stewart.

* BigNameFan: Professional example. Scriptwriter Yosuke Kuroda was a ''huge'' fan of the Trigun manga and, in an unusual move for a series of this length, insisted on writing all 26 episodes himself. Nightow depicted him in the {{omake}} to [=TriMax=] Vol.2 and he's… nearly as insane as Nightow.

** There was originally going to be a Trigun video game called ''Trigun: The Planet Gunsmoke''. One of the characters, Gazelle the Peacemaker, even had an official action figure released. Some of Gazelle's design elements were reused for Livio.

* BannedInChina: To celebrate the anime's 20th anniversary, Fullcock produced a line of water gun replicas of Vash's gun in transparent varieties, and one with silver plastic to look like the real thing. U.S. Customs deemed the silver ones to be too realistic, and it was banned from being imported into the United States. Anyone living in the United States who preordered one first party had their orders cancelled and refunded. The transparent varieties can still be imported, however.

* WordOfGod: Nightow says that Kuroneko-sama is female. He has also provided Wolfwood with about half a dozen middle names to go with that 'D.'
** The best obviously being Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora, meaning "daily cigarette intake".

* OvertookTheManga: An unusual example, as the anime was planned from day one to be 26 episodes, yet still caught up to the manga's story six episodes before the end despite being front-loaded with {{filler}}. The result was a defining example of AdaptationDistillation, as the final episodes contained the basic themes Nightow wanted to showcase but just hadn't gotten to yet.
