* FoeYay: Particularly egregious when Legato seems to be hitting on Vash.
* Fridge Horror: When Vash first meets Legato Bluesummers, he gives him a bag that he says "contains a lesson from him." Just then, a woman runs into the town square says that her husband was murdered. In Japanese, her words loosely translate to "He can't talk." However, a more accurate translation would be: "He cannot talk because his head was taken from him." It is never shown in the anime just what Legato's "lesson" was, but the manga was very clear: the bag contained the woman's husband's head. As if that weren't bad enough, Legato is shown eating a hot dog out of the very same bag. Where did he get that I wonder?
* FridgeLogic: Nightow occasionally forgets that having grown up on a desert-like planet, the characters wouldn't have the same comparisons and metaphors as us. A notable example is when Vash compares the sky to "the deep blue sea": you'd almost forget he grew up on a spaceship then on Gunsmoke and has never seen the sea...
** He's read books, though. Even seen video, quite likely. (Knives had seen video clips of war and man's inhumanity to man in the manga.) Lots of people on Earth talk about the sea without any practical experience; it still has cultural currency on a desert world. He does do this, though. Especially as he declined to make the setting realistically inhabitable even with the plants, or balance the limited native biosphere into something comprehensible.
*** I.e. it consists of ostrich-horse tomas and giant sand worms. And ''little birds'' which must have hitched a ride like feathery rats or something, at least in the anime.
*** There are also littler native bugs. These seem to constitute an entire native ecology and ''share a hive mind''.

** For this troper, it's Vash's boots. They're skin tight and almost go up to his crotch. Really turns this troper on. There's even a yaoi image of Vash completely bottomless except for his boots. Oh god, those boots.
*** Knives's StartOfDarkness in the anime was probably also an exercise in what could be slipped under the radar... It's implied that that particular crewman beat him (or worse) routinely -- or, to be more exact, whenever he thought he could get away with it, which admittedly may have only been a few times, and probably the sole reason he didn't beat Vash was lack of opportunity...and Knives would have ''known'' this. That's not even touching on the implications that the beating was substitute for, at least, something worse.
