| Yeah, that fight was awesome. I was counting the number of times Vash had pulled the trigger when he had one bullet in his gun! I loved the tension on the last shot! Now I have to wait ages for the movie! |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |
| I liked the ending. Vash's character holds true. The flashback was pretty interesting since I was wondering what they did after they had landed on the planet. Overall, Trigun gets an 8/10 from me. Vash is just awesome. Nothing else can really describe him. I'm looking forward to the movie now. ^.^ |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| I really liked the flashback about Vash and Knives. The last episode was really good. I was very impressed. |
[ ♥ ] Me and Yuusei; we's like peas and carrots~ [ ♥ ] |
| i liked the first half of the episode more than second half dunno why, overall - 9/10 - |
 |
| Not a huge fan of the ending, I was kinda left wanting to know more. So what happened to the characters and such. But overall I love the series and it'll always be one of my favorites of all time. Can't wait for the movie to be released!! :D |
 |
| The ending was so so. I liked the action. The flashback was great. It explained everything. Now, I'm looking forward to the movie. |
| Felt like a pretty cliche ending, fight wasn't as good as I thought it would be but hey it was still a great series overall. |
| The battle was very intense, its like blood brothers every move contact the same as both of them. The fighting was cool too, I had 1 funny thought when Wolfwood's presence voice out through Vash about his weapon next to Vash. The ending didnt show much but they point out the main ending which is Vash save Knives Credits: ~Every black cat in the episode ~We still don't know Vash the Stampede complete name ~But i'm sure he loves doughnuts =) |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| I have no complaints whatsoever, this is how endings should be. |
  |
| That anime is Definitely one of the best. And such a emotional/beautiful episode. ^.^ The fight was awesome and how vash ended it with Wolfwood's weapon was so cool. Man..I'd love a season 2. :\ Love this anime. 9/10. >:3 |
     |
| yeah the ending was nice, but i thing Gungrave ending was better Imho... anyway nice series)) reminded me of gungrave) 9/10 |
| I sort of liked the ending.Although I felt Vash should have killed his brother. I dislike the Hero isn't supposed to kill the bad guys nonsenses, but I really enjoyed watching the series. |
| Sweet. I rly liked the ending (esp compared to other parts of the story) and I'm still sorry Nicholas is dead but oh well. I also think Vash should have killed Knives. He patched him up at the end, why? Is Knives going to have a new mind when he recovers? Is losing the fight going to make him change his ideals? Or does Vash simply plan to do this all over again in another 100 years. oh well season 2 for us XD |
 |
| Did knives not die? I mean, even if he had his wounds bandaged maybe he did. I dunno, this final episode didn't quite satisfy but it will have to do. And what's with the posts from 2008 that speak of a movie? I really enjoyed this series, I'm thinking something like 8/10. |
| Such junk... |
| It was a pretty good ending, it left a lot of things open and the fight didn't surprise me too much. My only complaint is, what the fuck are Vash and Knives? Genetically modified humans? Aliens? WHAT!? They just appear, and everyone regards them as monsters. Did I miss how they got on the Seed ships? I'm also a little confused as to how Knives and Vash are both amazing gunmen. When did Knives learn to shoot a gun? I assumed Vashs robotic arm and the fact that he's inherently good at everything had something to do with it. But none of that is really explained, I'm guessing that because they're so gifted that we just have to accept they're both instantly amazing at shooting. Which I find to be a little hard to swallow. At least Wolfwood was shown training for 10 years, that made sense. Vash and Knives godlike aim..... not so much. Another thing that is bothering me, why did Knives and Vash age after landing? Yet never aged later? I know they're supposed to be immortal, but they aged as children(physically), so why not later? A simple explanation at some point would of been fine, but leaving that reason out bothers me. To ramble further, I'm not really sure why Knives wanted to meet Vash... or rather, have him killed. It didn't make a lot of sense, at some points he sends people to kill him, at others he sends people to die... It seemed to be a waste of time. /rant |
PANDEMlC said: Sometimes I HATE having questions unanswered, and wished they could have explained it better, but you have to realize they screwed up because the manga wasn't even finished yet so they had to add their own thing in it.

| That was a very satisfying ending. Neat fight. You can't blame the man for having a dream. |
 |
| GREAT OST |
| Just an okay ending; could've been much better. |
| Wow, the final battle Vash vs. Knives was excellent! Very impressive moves and strikes, the general dynamics... The most epic part of the battle was the Russian roulette-like moment, when both Vash and Knives unload their guns, but leave one bullet, load it back, aim each other and try to pull the trigger... Wonderful... The ending? Well, I didn't expect Vash to spare Knives' life. I thought that Vash (unfortunately) would have broken his rules once again and killed him... In the other hand, I don't think that bringing Knives to the friends was a good idea... In my opinion Knives is too dangerous to let him meet the girls and live with them. He should have left him alone if he really wanted to "save" him... |
 |
| *Looks out window with Trigun music in head* *Thinks about ending* *Small tear rolls down my cheek* 10 doesn't seem like a fair score, can I give it an 11? |
| I've said it before and I have to say it again. Why is every one of these twisted freaks after humans? I mean no species is perfect. Every species leeches off other species, except the producers (plants). So why go only after humans? O_o; "What is this pain?" lol Knives is weird :P Vash should have told him this is the same pain those humans feel when you hurt them. The ending was... dunno. So Vash spared Knives's life. He defeated him in combat. Am I to understand that a guy like Knives will not do everything within his power to get even with Vash? Like hurting Milly or Meryl? The flashbacks posed a pacing problem. Just one montage of their life, as you see Vash approaching Knives body, would have been good. There's a movie too? O_o; Okay, gotta get that. |
 |
| Good ending but the last few episode's felt a bit rushed to me ;\ There's still a lot of questions to be answered too. I need a Epilogue :[ All in all great show 8/10, would've given it a 9/10 but i didn't like the last few episodes so...:) |
| A great fight, but I thought the ending would of gripped me more. I feel as though the ending wasn't as good as some of the other scenes in the series, and the ending could of been much better. It wasn't a bad ending, but I feel that it could of been amazing. |
| It exceed my expectations 8/10. |
 |
| Excellent fight scenes, Vash and Knives synchorized perfectly together. So in the end Vash finally came to his senses and figured out that while he will always remember what Rem taught him, he has to make and live with his own decisions. Leaving the red coat behind shows that he became his own person. I really liked this anime and probably will re-watch it again for stuff that I didn't quite get this time around. Also enjoyed Milly and Meryl, they really complemented each other. So...9/10. |
 |
| Not the best ending, and I expected a lot more, being the last episode. I liked it, and the series in general. x) <3 |
| Eh, not my favorite but a good ending still. I agree with SirHenryJon, I wish there had been a little more for Vash and Meryl. I'd be happy with a kiss on the cheek even! |
 |
| That was boring... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| finally after 5 years of waiting i watched it ! it was really great full of morals which the new anime and society is unfotunately is lacking! great saying from rem carved in vashs heart really very impressive anime and sayonara woodwulf>_< i am going to watch the movie right now^0^ 10/10 |
 |
| Unnecessary flashbacks ruined it a bit, but I still enjoyed the episode, the fighting part that is. It felt somewhat short though so I'd like to see an epilogue. Overall, this turned out to be a very good anime; could've been a great one but those several episodes prior to this one made me give it 8/10 instead of 9/10. Anyway, I'm glad I've watched it, it's a classic and I'd recommend it to anyone even slightly interested in the world of anime. On to the movie now... |

shadylookin said: After rewatching this I realized that Vash is kind of a dick. He contemplates bashing his brother's skull in, shoots him in the desert and abandons him, shoots him in the face with the super gun. Vash may be the savior of humanity, but Knives is definitely a nicer brother. Uh... I didn't get that at all. |

Vash may be the savior of humanity, but Knives is definitely a nicer brother. Um, how is Knives a nicer brother? The guy purposefully KILLED hundreds of thousands of people because he felt they were below him. Vash wanted to bash Knives in because he killed all of those people as well as the person he loved/looked up to the most, Rem. He shoots him in the desert because he's freaking angry. If someone killed the people you loved and whom raised you, wouldn't you be pissed? Yet, he abandons Knives because a, he doesn't want to kill Knives because of what Rem said about life being precious, and b, if he stays around with Knives two things could happen: Knives could kill him or Vash could get angry enough to forgo what Rem said and just kill Knives. You didn't see Knives hesitate to kill Vash in that last episode, did you? And Knives was SMILING a sadistic smile when he said that he killed everyone. Does that sound nice to you? It sure doesn't to me. |
"Someone once told me that, 'Friendships come with meetings, partings and reunions.' But how could you truly part with someone if they're always there...in your heart?" |
| The problem therefore is not in Knives being the ultimate evil (although for humans he is totaly malefic) but in Vash failing to stand up for his (or Rem's) ideals in a way that would make his brother respect it for the start. Untill then Knives is in his right, as he sees it, and Vash only follows, babbling some foolishness short of running away, which he is afraid to do. Vash is (heart)broken and he realy doesn't understand what Rem meant, yet he believes strongly in those ideals. But belief is not enough and in the following years he will have to find a way to realise them, if there is any. Untill then Knives won't take him seriously and the only way to solve it would be to "kill the spider" which Vash refused to do in the first place and which is Knives' way. It is easy for Knives to see proof on his views for humans. Actualy, the majority of people we see colliding with Vash are morons who point a gun (or finger) at him shouting hystericaly, yet we know that it's not exactly a thing of nature but rather a lack of sense or purpose. A few have an idea and it is something that have to be nurtured on this unhospitable planet like that grove we see in one of ep's. Knives don't get the complexities, he sees only black, while Vash is clearly idealistic. But strangely, he seems to be more aware of the other side to humans, while Knives never bothers. We don't know if the species of Vash and Knives are realy superior to humans. They are just self-suficient, which humans are not. And seeng two brothers we might presume that they are not too different from humans emotion-wise and also imperfect as they make mistakes. I thought Vash is finaly going to make a point and kill Knives and possibly die in the attempt. I kind of glad he didn't, surprisingly. And now he's going to bring his brother to people and make him live with them? And he will look after Knives and make him see people from good side too? Anyway, I guess he's going to be the "elder brother" now. For all his earlier sillines he finaly grew some impressive backbone. Seeing the shape Knives in mentally as he pointed both "plantet-killer" guns at his brother, smiling sadisticaly, Vash is taking huge risks bringing him to people. But at least he knows now what he's doing it for and what he wants. |
Hell is empty and all the devils are here. |
| Really good overall. I enjoyed watching most of this. |
 |
| Not a big fan of the ending. :/ Time to watch the movie. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Brilliant series, I was expecting good but did not think I would rank it amongst my favourites! 10/10 |

It takes awhile to grow but ones they hit maturity their growth slows way down. Like trees, they are only imortal becuase they'll be the last things living until straight decapitated or something unknown to the researches comes through |
| Someone must be about to die: they're playing j-pop disco! -Frohike |
| ahhh ending was somewhat shorter then i expected... I wonder what did he plan to do with his bro to beat some sence into him. Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| All the flashbacks made the finale somewhat cramped. I still feel like some questions were unanswered in the end, but I guess that's only for those who like to explore every inch of their anime. Vash vs Knives was short, but awesome to watch, unlike some of the recent shonen anime that think drawing out long battles with sermons in-between make the show more interesting. An overall satisfying ending for me. |
| I thought the final battle was awesome; man to man (erm... plant to plant? :x) combat! The russian roulette and all the flashbacks really added to the finale. I'm torn whether I wanted Vash to just kill Knives, OR keep him alive, thus continuing his view that "no one has the right to take a life." Either way, it was a great great show and I'm glad I finally got around to finishing it. A solid 9/10 for me. Soo.... there's a movie apparently? I'll def watch it. |
