- If Vash can heal from damn near any injury, why does his torso look all chewed up like he's been fed through a wood chipper?
- Damn near any. He may very well have gotten eviscerated a few times.
- In the manga, it turns out that while Vash can heal from his wounds, it uses his life force. Whenever a plant uses their energy, their hair slowly turns black, and whenever it becomes completely black, they die. Thus, Vash doesn't heal because he'd rather live with his scars than outright die.
- Except that he never knew about the black hair thing until decades after he got the scars. It's likely he didn't even know he could heal; or if he did, simply chose to keep the scars as a reminder of the price of not taking a life.
- Note that Knives was able to recover from an Angel-Arm blast to the face without his hair going black, but it took him at least twenty years and he had to be screwed into a Plant's casing. Conceivably, Vash could have done the same thing to regrow his arm and stuff, but doing that would be out of character for him.
- If seeing Monev kill people drove Vash into Berserk mode, then why didn't seeing that Brilliant Dynamites Neon had killed the one Sandsteamer operator do the same?
- Might be because Brilliant Dynamites Neon was acting like a terrorist with a cause. He had a reason to kill the Sandsteamer operator, as messed up as it might be. Monev just killed a bunch of people for no goddamn reason, which is something Vash literally can't comprehend.
- After Wolfwood dies in the manga, what exactly did Vash shoot with his Angel Arm? It looked to me like he just shot it into the sky, at nothing.
- He shot Knives's Ark, and was probably aiming at Knives himself.
- In "Badlands Rumble", Cain is trying to lay low because Gasback wants to murder him, right? So why the hell does he think it's a good idea to create a 700 foot bronze statue with his goddamn face on it? It doesn't exactly scream subtlety.
- I think when he first built it he didn't know Gasback was still alive or had given up the chase. Gasback had not attacked any of his former robbers yet. By the time he got it built it was too late. Either that or he figured there was no way Gasback could take out all of the bounty hunters.
- Is Vash dying? His hair has turned completely black by the end of Maximum, and yet is still alive and kicking in the The Last Plant, which apparently takes place six years later.
- Presumably he can't use his powers as a Plant even one more time or that will be the end of him.
- 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.

- There's something odd, about the character designs, I mean. In the manga covers, the characters are shown with tanned complexions (which you can chalk it to the fact that they're done on purpose, due the fact it's a desert planet, and thus, they should be tanned. Otherwise, it's to shown them having more vibrant colors). But in the anime, save for a few characters like Nicholas, Frank Marlon, B.D.N, and Legato. Everyone else is really pale, or have normal (i.e. healthy) white skin tone. Shouldn't they have darker skin?
