| I remember being blown away by this episode, because I just didnt for a second believe they would make Vash's character kill anyone, and if they did it would only be the last bad guy of the show. Nope, turns out the author is a good writer. (havent read the manga actually, but I'm assuming the same thing happens in that) One of the best episode of anime for me. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Yeah, this has been my favourite episode so far...two more to go! So this is how Legato planned to make Vash suffer eternal pain, by making him a killer... |

| outstanding episode the thing i dont understand is how legato can control people? is he even a human? |
 |
| Black cat again Now this is getting more serious than ever |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| This episode just added a notch to my possible score for it. Stunning is the word that comes to mind. |
 |
| Very good episode. The saxophone player had no chance when he went up agianst Vash.. -.- It was intresting to see Legato manipulating him to change and realize that he can't save everyone.. |
     |
| I'm a little surprised he killed someone as well. Good episode though. I'm thinking legato had Vash's real arm and that's how he controlled the people. The saxaphone-fu was cool even if it only was a short moment. |
| Such junk... |
| I can't believe how crappy this anime has become in these last few episodes... I just can't believe it, I'm this close to dropping the series merely two episodes away from the finale... |
| This has been one of my favorites because of the inner conflict Vash has. Also, the moment where Vash pulls the trigger and Legato's body thuds to the ground echoes in my mind. |
kie_ said: I think it's because he possesses Vash's right arm and has some plant powers that aren't really shown in the animeoutstanding episode the thing i dont understand is how legato can control people? is he even a human? Well actually, in the manga it's something entirely different. |

| Knowing Vash's person and ideals (be they right or not) it was heatbreakink watching him pull the trigger... really really disturbing scene, what a haunted character. |
 |
| Man, Vash should just give up on those foolish ideals taught by Rem and fucking KILL when he has to. |
| Well, it happened what I have known since the beginning - Vash WILL kill someone... Now I know that Vash understood that it's impossible save everyone (Well, at least he SHOULD do it). Life isn't an utopia and sometimes we MUST choose "lesser of two evils" if we like it or not. Sad but true... BTW, Legato ask Vash to shoot him "of his own accord"... Yeah, right :/ If the fashion in which Legato made Vash to shoot him may be called "free will"... Sorry, I quit :P |
 |
| Yes, i have been waiting to see this for a long time. Vash gets his first confirmed kill. I'm so happy. Some semblance of character development. One thing I don't understand about all these super freaks (Legato et al.) is why they want to wipe out humanity. If humans are a weaker species, then once you wipe out humans... What then? What? What do you do when you're the only person alive on the whole planet? Maybe you could turn your attention to the second highest species. In this way, somehow, you end up destroying all life on the planet. Even the micro organisms. What then? Look to other planets? Suppose you are able to conquer the universe, destroy all life in the universe because according to you, they're all weaker beings, trash, "resource-consuming garbage" etc. What then? Just an eternity of a solitary existence? Now that's just stupid. F*cking idiots. |
 |
| Pretty sad. Two more episodes left. =( |
| Damn. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| God its annoying when Vash tries to be a good guy. It was either kill Legato or his friends will die. If I was him I would have dropped my morals and killed Legato to save my friends without a second thought. Jesus, Vash -_-. |
| I'd just like to say, while the final scene was heart wrenching, the opening scene with Vash trying to be happy and then breaking down and sobbing was soul-destroyingly sad for me. It's always the moments that catch me off guard that hurt the worst. And now I'm crying just from remembering this episode (it's been a couple of days since I actually saw it). Fucking wonderful. |
 |
| excellent episode. so much goes into shaping Vash for the final battle... He has now killed with his own hands. The sound of Legato's lifeless body dropping is something that has stuck with me. |
  |
| Excellent, excellent episode. How to make Vash suffer??? Make him a killer/ Great writing. Subtle yet effective. |

| Took him long enough to shoot the guy, fuck. |
| Great episode, you can see Knives is toying with Vash and so far Knives' plan is working. 2 more eps left |
| Hurr durr, I'm a burr. |
| lol His friends so outweigh the difficult decision Vash had to make. Its like choosing over his daughter and a Salmon. Who has to die? Oh ya, I recall Vash eating Salmon Sandwiches.... you fiend! |
 |
| This was a really amazing episode. All that tention in the end. |
 |
| To think that Knives would go to such lengths just to make Vash change his ways.. but, oh well, he's a psychopath after all.

  |
| It looks easy for you people to kill huh?! Vash is right even though he exaggerated. we don't have the right to decide if a person lives or dies. |

 |
| Ow wow he managed to revert the transformation and actually killed him?! Or is he really dead? But damn things sure are getting good but dramatic :/ |
 |
| So he finally killed Legato. Now he really had to kill him. I guess Knives ultimate goal was to turn Vash into a monster. He really seem perturbed by what he did. |

| Knives... so unbelievibly evil. I didn't see this coming. That was a hard episode to watch. That Legato guy was to over powered. smh. All this just to cause Vash to suffer. |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| I wonder why Knives hasn't already wiped out humanity, I mean he had a 100 years to do it. It's not like he had some other hobbies in the meantime. |
| awesome ep. reading some of the other ep threads people seem to think this is like kenshin, throw that stupd idea aside. |
| I need some back story of Legato. I'm curious. |
 |
| Legato's last speech was on point: "That kind of life is just comical." |

| I can't believe Vash killed Legato! Although he kinda had it coming ... but I still kinda liked Legato, he was cool too and not to mention also hot <3 |
 |
| Wow what a show, the moment Vash pulled the trigger was by far the saddest moment in the anime because it went against everything he believes in. The episode was really good and it surprised me because i thought he would eventually kill only one person and that is knives. |

| Extremely annoyed at the insurance girls' roles as the series progressed. When they were first introduced, I had the impression that they were characters who could stand up for themselves and actually be strong, non-cliched heroines. And then these girls as damsels in distress are what cause Vash to shoot Legato. Bullshit. When was the last time Meryl effectively used her pistol? I could tell the girls were becoming more and more useless as the story progressed, but I didn't particularly care until this episode. I do think that Vash shooting Legato was a powerful and signficant moment, but it could've been done without the damsels in distress. I don't know if that was in the manga as well, but it's still a poor choice in the writing. |
