So she finally realizes that he is indeed Vash the stampede, great to see a possible foreshadowing of a deeper plot like when the maid held him at gun point and he says don't make me I can't stop until I've met him or something.

5 episodes I was starting to think he wasn't gonna shoot ever, it was worth the wait. Anyone else see Vash as some what of an homage to wyatt earp?

This series combines great action and panache in that cool 90's anime style with some true facepalm moments...This episode has it all.

So we finally know what those giant lightbulbs are for.

And a little more insight into Vash's past...I really hope we find out what the bounty on his head is for, because honestly, he's the nicest guy in the world right now. Is it his own atonement for a past sin/crime?

I think the anime staff made the right decision in waiting until episode 5 for Vash to fire his gun, that way when it finally happened it was all the more epic.

ok, getting better, I might try one more episode. Still far to many cheap scenes where he escapes some impossible scenario without them showing how he did it. This show is intriguing but I'm not impressed.

This episode further confirms how each of the cities that Vash the Stampede visited simply contributed to their own destruction.

Professor Nebraska had no reason to not shoot at the end, as his sole opponent was fresh out of bullets. It could have made for a more interesting scene of him being comprehended by either the town or Vash himself.

Gofsef Nebraska's physiology did not make much sense in terms of how his mechanical arm functioned. Despite the right fist and forearm detached from the rest of his body, he is somehow able to feel pain in that body part. I would argue that breaking solid brick walls would hurt his hand as well, but perhaps punching bullets do hurt more than punching cinder. From how Gofsef Nebraska landed his first punch on the saloon Vash was in, it seemed like he could change the direction mid-attack. It would somewhat explain why the bullets caused his fist to flinch away, but the momentum would have carried out the blow nevertheless. Our protagonist using a smarter method to get out of that situation could have been neat, such as shooting the cable attached to the joints and disabling the mechanism completely.

This was an excellent episode!

It was awesome, purely awesome seeing Vash in action for real for the first time. He's an absolute force of nature! His nickname as The Humanoid Typhoon is seriously fitting!

I feel bad that Meryl's hopes of anyone else being Vash the Stampede were ruined. XD
