Never liked those theres-a-minute-till-a-disaster-that-wiil-have-everyone-killed-occurs-but-with-ultimate-bravery-and-effort-they-manage-to-stop-it-at-the-very-last-moment situations. Still the episode was good, mostly due to the funny moments, plus we get to know a little bit more about Vash and why he is the way he is.

Whaa? That's not normal? There are few days of my life that I don't start just singing out of no where. I guess I'm a little weird though.

I'm so glad that Neon's going to be a recurring character -- next to Vash, he's been my favorite one so far.

I like how committed Vash is to not killing people. It's a huge difference from the numberless murders in almost every other series with fighting.
Oh, and every one of his reactions in the vent was hilarious.

At least Vash has some good reason not to kill anyone instead of something lame.

I do think Neon's change of character was a bit strange. We do have good guys with bad traits, but bad guys with traits of "Honoring a deal & risking his own life to honor said deal?" Just seemed way too strange when contrasted with the cold blooded murder he did in the last episode.

And the kid's backstory was shallow as hell. I figured out what he was gonna do when they find out they can't stop the ship. I did love the moral education Vash gave to Kite.

And I agree with rlayer about the non-killing. Really refreshing.

Agreed regarding the about face of character. That cold blooded murder in the last episode actually caught me off guard with how ruthless it was. And then he's like "haha just kidding, here lemme save y'all"

Also, the singing at the end confused me because it sounded like it was coming from a woman instead of a boy. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the kid was VA'd by a woman and her singing just made that a little more obvious.

Meh episode, kid was totally unlikable and Neon's change in character as others pointed out was just very random. Also I understand Vash not wanting to kill anyone but him freaking out and treating the fodder he just shot was just sort of ridiculous.

Well it's cool that Vash doesn't kill anyone, but he does it not to upset the girl who is dead. How is it not shallow...

So Brilliant Dynamites Neon's massive shoulder pads were functional weapons this entire time, which I suppose makes them less ridiculous, but they are still as absurd as his wicked code of honour that he so devotedly upholds.

It was nice to see Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson being more competent again. Their guns were practically begging to be used.

Though Kaite was lead astray and corrupted in times of weakness, I expect him to do more good before he can be redeemed, as that loss of life would continue to be his burden to bear.

I thought this episode was really, really good. Vash has mostly been kidding around so far, but it was great to actually see him pushed into a corner and how he sticks to his principles even then, to the point of him actually treating the wounds of people he machine guns down in reflex, which was maybe my favorite thing this episode. I also personally thought it was kind of fun and reasonable that the guy leading the robbers backed down after he lost the duel. He seemed pretty flamboyant in the first place, so I wasn't surprised he put a lot of stock in his pride. I am surprised there are actually people who don't like those kind of suspenseful situations where they save the day in the last moment though! Anyway, at this point Vash's luck is so outrageous, in light of the deal with the bullet hole silhouette the robbers made, I'm starting to suspect there a reason for it that has to do with his past ...

Another cliche "bad guy is actually good at heart despite just murdering a couple people 5 minutes ago" character. Also, the kid is unlikeable and his motivation makes zero sense. "My father built the ship so now I'm gonna help rob it and then get upset when it's gonna be destroyed." So stupid. And Vash was just as stupid by getting shot because he didn't want to kill a couple grunts but then let's a mass murder walk free who will surely kill more people. At least Millie and Meryl were still awesome this episode.

Yep, last episode he brutally gunned down an innocent man and laughed about it and now he's actually not such a bad guy. I absolutely hate that kind of thing. Also, Vash letting a mass murder go free despite being so against murder that he let's himself get shot instead of killing is pretty stupid.

Seems like Vash's no killing policy comes from a promise to someone woman, probably his lover. Well, Vash won the duel, of course.

Neon's change makes perfect sense to me. He's an outlaw gunman, and he comes across the most legendary outlaw gunman. He challenges Vash to a duel and loses. I don't think this was a case of "bad guy is good at heart" as much as it is a case of "bad guy finally finds an opponent that he deems worthy of his respect and honors their agreement."
