Trivia[]

  1. Based on the original three-shot manga by Yasuhiro Nightow.
  2. When Yasuhiro Nightow began focusing on writing manga after leaving college in 1996, he submitted Trigun for the February issue of Shonen Captain, but the manga was left incomplete following Shonen Captain's dissolution a year later, so when Shonen Gahosha brought Nightow in to submit a new story, Nightow himself was troubled over Trigun being left unfinished. Thankfully, Shonen Gahosha allowed him to continue the manga under the name Trigun Maximum, publishing over 11 chapters while gaining the rights over the first three chapters.
  3. Legato's characterization in the manga is different from his characterization in the anime. In the manga, Legato started out as a slave boy who was violently abused until Knives rescued him and took him under his wing, with Legato becoming slowly insane while under Knives' tuletage. In the anime, Legato is shown as a sadistic nihilist determined to torment Vash to no end on behalf of Knives, while also having been shown to have Vash's original left arm grafted on his body.
  4. The black cat that appears in every episode of Trigun is called "Kuroneko Sama" (which means "Lord Black Cat". The cat is a female and was a creation for one of Yasuhiro Nightow's first mangas (Japanese comic books) and he has stated that the cat is female. Her alternate name is "Kuroneko Kukan" or "Black Cat Space". She also makes a cameo in the video game "Wild ARMs: 2nd Ignition".
  5. Yasuhiro Nightow has gone on record to say that English is the language actually spoken on the Planet Gunsmoke.
  6. For unknown reasons, the anime contains various fictional units of measurement. The three most prominent are "iles" instead of "miles", "yarz" instead of "yards", and "double dollars ($$)" instead of "dollars ($)".
  7. There are several references to real guns from Earth in the series, like Milly's last name is Thompson, as in the 1927 Thompson "Tommy" sub-machine gun. Milly and Meryl work for the Bernardelli Insurance Society. Vincenzo Bernardelli S.p.A. is an now-defunct Italian firearms manufacturing company, founded in 1721 by Vincenzo Bernardelli. Bernardelli company was forced into bankruptcy in 1997, one year before the Anime was produced.
