Yeah it was decent. Is the priest going to go out by himself again or are they going to stick together.

You can't blame the man, he has his believes and he will to everything he can to abide by them.

Ok episode, the song was hilarious xD and Wolfwood asking Vash if he was expecting relatives was genius!

Nah, first of all... I WANT VASH' READ OUTFIT BACK! xD I can't get used to his new clothes... xD

Hmm, Vash tried to persuade the man not to kill that guy, because he surely believes, that people haven't the right to take another man's life, even if they do in the name of justice. Well, I think he is right.

LOL, Vash' song was hilarious xD "It's killing time, genocideeeee" xD

The girls are back :) Now whole gang is complete again xD

Liked seeing Vash and Nicholas and Meryl back together.
Vash and Nicholas are so cute, behaving like bad little boys in the back of the truck!

I also found Vash's behaviour and principles somewhat irksome for the first time in the anime.
This is prolly my least favourite episode so far, hope the following ones will return to the main plot.

A oerfectly normal human reaction, however that doesn't make it right. After all one of the main themes of this story is that while killing can be NECESSARY it is NEVER right.

I agree with you all. For the first time this series I was quite irritated by Vash's non-killing attitude. It really hit me hard with the father said "How many times did you think my daughter screamed [daddy]?". Just think what the girl went through before she was murdered... I totally agree where the father is coming from - even I, an audience who knows this is all fictional can feel hatred welling up. After the short snapshot of Aileen's corpse I can sort of figure out what happened. And whoever did that is a fcking arsehole. If it was really Slate then he deserves to die. Die a painful one too.

I wish Vash was a little bit more aggressive in his principle. He doesn't have to kill them but permanently disable them in some way so the bad guys won't do any harm for good. For example, the rapist should have his dick cut off or something...
I don't mind the whole pacifism thing Vash got going but his way is impractical and it is doing more harm than good.

The episode started interestingly, became very similar to various pre-Legato episodes, and then finished strong. We really saw Vash's principles in action; it was painful because the man never really saw justice served, but he knew that by killing the other guy, he wouldn't be fixing anything in the past. That's a real problem. I liked seeing Meryl and Millie at work. I'm glad everybody is back together, though it's weird that Vash is still wearing that normie outfit. The end was creepy; that puppet and its master are scary dudes.

Well, seems like Vash is back into the game. Everyone heard him desperately scream "Don't kill him," I wonder whether that's going to impact the "rumors" in any way.

Vash not wanting that bereaved father to kill that man out of revenge felt rather questionable at first (it still kind of does considering what the could-be victim had done) but I'd like to think that Vash knew in his heart that his daughter isn't the sort of person who'd want her father to throw away his own life to avenge her. I really hope that the animal gets his own just desserts after this though if he really did that since there's a chance that the Puppeteer guy did it to cause disarray, hm.

I'm really glad that the Insurance Girls are back and Meryl really knows how to shoot a gun with her feet~

toward the end i thought "that episode could have been better" or "why they made this downhill now?" and thought the episode weren't that great, that end made it worth.

glad that those insurance girls came back, though i wonder how they are going to contribute to vash journey.
