History WMG / TriGun

* It's very clear from the trailer that this appears to be focusing on Vash and Knives's origin story with a few new twists, due to the heavy focus on Knives and Rem without even mentioning Wolfwood, Milly, or Meryl. The initial teaser image also shows Vash's usual design. Therefore, it's quite possible Vash will go into a SignificantWardrobeChange after a certain point in the story back to the design we all know and love.

[[WMG: Vash and Knives are HumanoidAbominations.]]

Or a large part of the population is semi-illiterate. Public education is rare if not nonexistent (none of the kids in the show seem to be in school), and it's probable that whatever literature the SEEDs colonists had went up in flames with most of their technology when the ships crashed. This is why things are so often misspelled ("restlant", "kiyosk", "Mei City").

## There were some references to Trigun in the Gungrave anime and Videogame, but one of them was the existence of the Chicken creatures that they use for transport in Gunsmoke appearing as racing animals in GunGrave. Which suggests genetic engeneering taking place in that world.

[[WMG: Wolfwood is one of the carriers of the [[OnePiece Will of D.]]]]

Actually somewhat TruthInTelevision in regard to Wolfwood, which Nightow has said was inspired by two acts, The Turtles and, for his name, Ulfuls, and for Midvalley who was inspired by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. While Nightow has not admitted this, Vash seems to be a combination of Music/BuckTick's Atsushi Sakurai [[http://youtu.be/tr8QIA-ZP60 from his 1987 look]] and Music/YoshikiHayashi from around the same era for the blonde hair, the love of alcohol, THE ANGST ANGST ANGST and the attitude of TechnicalPacifist, masochist, trouble nexus and being PersonaNonGrata.

No, seriously. Or it at least is some sort of super-cat. How else could you explain it showing up pretty-much anywhere, anytime, especially around such weird characters as Vash? It even seems to have a "You amuse me." look in some scenes. Plus, the cat's Japanese name is given as "Kuroneko-sama", which literally translates as [[strike:"Black Cat God", can't get much more obvious than that]]. Really, it translates to "Black Cat Lady".

[[WMG: Kuroneko-Sama is Haruhi Suzumiya]]

* But people do shoot him multiple times throughout the series, in ways that could heave easily been prevented throughout the series if he was willing to use such abilities. Besides, Rem placed such a high value on having an "open ticket to the future", AKA free will to become a better person, it's doubtful that Vash would want to mess with anyone like that. However, that isn't to say he might have done so subconsciously, and therefore unintentionally, at times.

Picture of Vash can be found as easter egg in one of games.But the way Gunsmoke functions is very simillar to Wild Arms world so Gunsmoke is this series ancient world

Or it could be Rem as she did die to save everyone on the seed ship.
* Maybe Rem's a reincarnation of the Virgin Mary?

[[WMG: GunGrave is the earth from the Trigun Universe in the Past!]]

He's a good guy, with good principles, who suffers like you ''would not believe''. And then people go and die for his sake and principles, like [[spoiler: Wolfwood]]. And then he wins anyway.

Look up their pictures and note the huge similarities between their appearences and how everyone saw them as lucky idiots early on before they proved themselves as legitimate badasses.

Plus: If Bit's mom was Meryl then he'd have her last name so his real name would've been Bit Cloud Strife, but he just goes with Bit Cloud to keep the name short and simple.

* That's why the bounties are so ridiculously high going into the billions. Inflation is just that bad.

* Mostly came from what Brad said about plant's being "The ones from outside of time" which sounds pretty eldritch to me. Sure he
was talking about the agelessness, but at the same time, look at the plant Vash was talking too. It also seemed rather eldritch, just roughly mimicking a human form.

[[WMG: Regarding the races of the various main (human) characters, Meryl and Milly are white, Wolfwood is at least part-some sort of American Indian descent, Rem is Asian-American, and Legato is at least part-some sort of Asian descent.]]

[[WMG: Legato's mother was also a [[spoiler: sex slave]].]]

They may, however, need to drink, but they may not, as regular, non-humanoid plants seem to be able to produce their own water. In the flashback which shows Vash and Wolfwood wandering gunsmoke, they both seem perfectly healthy, so maybe plants garner nutrients from some other source, like sunlight. That being said, Vash still [[{{EatingOptional}} eats things out of pleasure rather than necessity.]]

Neither Vash nor Knives come off as particularly levelheaded individuals -- Vash is pretty much a ManChild, and Knives is a PsychopathicManChild. Their philosophies are child-like in both their simplicity and their zeal to uphold them, their interactions with each other come off as two little kids bickering about who's right and who's wrong to almost {{narm}}ish levels, and in general they act more like squabbling kids than ancient warriors. And that's when they're interacting with each other; they're not much better when they're interacting with others.

She became pregnant at some point during captivity, but she died when Legato was very young (either killed by her captors, or of childbirth complications...) which is why he was never given a name.

* So totally my thought too. Additional proof: they are at LEAST 107 years old (Episode 17), the Doctor in Doctor Who has been shown to have precise timing, aiming skills like Knives and Vash, Time Lords have telepathic powers which explains the thought connection between Vash and Knives, and Knives exhibits an ability like the Master's to control/hypnotize others, their IQs are well above human IQ, and so much more. This is my personal canon.

Note that out of all the main characters he looks the most like a traditional anime {{Bishounen}} and wears the sort of [[{{Goth}} gothic]] BadassLongcoat attire commonly sported at cons. One of his ancestors was the last anime geek, who married a Japanese person before they relocated to Gunsmoke together. Little bits and pieces of that subculture eventually trickled down to him, and he adopted them for his own purposes.
