The official website of the Trigun Stampede television anime unveiled new staff and a teaser visual (pictured) for its sequel, Trigun Stargaze, on Thursday. The anime, labeled as the final installment of the series, will air in 2026.

Staff
Director: Masako Satou (Haikyuu!! To the Top)
Original Story: Takehiko Okishi (Trigun Stampede)
Series Composition, Script: Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Shangri-La Frontier)
Original Character Design, Concept Art: Kouji Tajima (Trigun Stampede)
Character Design: Kiyotaka Oshiyama (Look Back)
Studio: Orange

Voice actors Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka) and Yoshimasa Hosoya (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans) are reprising their lead roles as Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood, respectively.

Trigun Stampede, a reboot of the original 1998 anime based on Yasuhiro Nightow's action adventure manga, aired in 12 episodes in Winter 2023. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with subtitles and multiple dubs and plans to stream Trigun Stargaze when it premieres. The streaming platform also licensed the anime in North America and released it on home video in September 2024.

Nightow originally published a Trigun one-shot in Monthly Shounen Captain in February 1995 before beginning regular serialization in April that year. Following the magazine's discontinuation in January 1997, the manga went on hiatus. Tokuma Shoten published the manga in three volumes between April 1996 and January 1999. Shounen Gahousha later re-released it in two volumes in June 2000.

Nightow continued the original manga under the new title Trigun Maximum in Young King OURs in October 1997 and ended it in March 2007 after a ten-year run. Shounen Gahousha published the manga in 14 volumes between May 1998 and February 2008 and later in seven volumes from February and September in 2010.

The original anime series produced by Madhouse premiered in 26 episodes from April to September in 1998, followed by the Trigun: Badlands Rumble side story movie in April 2010.

Synopsis
Two and a half years have passed since the Lost July incident, a catastrophe that reduced an entire city to ruins and sent shockwaves across the world, as depicted in Trigun Stampede.

On the desert planet of No Man's Land, Vash the Stampede, a gunslinger who swore never to take a life, faces his final confrontation with his brother, Millions Knives, who seeks the complete destruction of humanity. As their fates collide, the battle that will determine the future of both mankind and the planet begins.

the staff changes might be the reason for the delay of release then because i heard for original anime usually 2 years of preproduction and buffer production of first few episodes is enough

For a normal production this is true. But Yoshirio Watanabe, one of the ani-p for Beasters and Trigun, mentioned in trash taste podcast that Orange usually takes 3 years for each projects. Infact, he said Trigun Stampede took them 5 years to produce as Nightow had asked them to expand on his original manga instead of just adapting it 1:1.
