| So Vash is immortal then? I'm going to guess that Vash and Knives are the same species as those beings that power lost tech, which would explain their ability to control it. |

| that was pretty sad episode ,in the end we will find everything and is he immortal or not |
 |
| BRADDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! |
 |
| The series just keeps getting better and better, albeit as depressing. Great episode. |
 |
| Brad's death is worth for him as he remembers everything about Vash and his purpose |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| That was so sad.. :[! poor brad. i knew something was up after they beat the bad guy's.. But now Vash is going to go insaine and destroy the rest of the bad guys and Legato. >:3 |
     |
| Three demons!! Why did they forget that!?!? I guess Vash assumed Wolfwood got 2, and Wolfwood assumed Vash got 2. That episode was awesome nonetheless. |
| Very cool episode. It bums me out when a good series is nearing the end for the first time. |
| Such junk... |

| the later episodes are both confusing and less appealing to me, but I have to say that it made me think about life a bit |
| Great episode... sad one |
 |
| Vash became really emo when Brad died. |
| Vash really tends to be crybaby, doesn't he? This is very unusual if there comes to male characters... Grate episode but very depressing. So sad that immortality in reality is a curse. You may live forever but in the other hand you have to look at your dying friends... Horrible... I was right - Vash IS a tragic character. So, It seems that my private theory is correct - Vash and Knives are or aliens (nah, not so possible) or something like the next step of human evolution (that is a little bit more possible). Well, we will see more next time :) And the atmosphere is more and more tense... |
 |
| Jessica seemed a little too young to me. Brad too old for her. Sad that he had to die. The beings who live outside of time... nice way to put it... |
 |
| You know that a series is coming to an end when the good guys start getting killed off. Although Brad acted like an asshole at first, he finally came around in the end. So sorry to see him die. I have the feeling Vash's emotions are going to get the better of him. Which may make for more of an awesome showdown between him and Legato (and Knives). |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| The ending was sad, and yet.. ....? -wutdaF |
| Very good episode with a sad ending. |
| "You watch too much." "I don't watch enough."  |
| :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| an excellent episode. |
  |
| Pretty sad, but it seems like Vash isn't all that determined at this point. Everything is moving kinda slow. |
| Hurr durr, I'm a burr. |
| I cried a little in this episode. I was good though |

rlayer said: I couldn't really feel bad about Brad's death. He wasn't given enough screen time to get used to him as a friend. Same here. I get teary-eyed if it's a meaningful death and a likable character, but Brad just didn't have enough screen time to get me sad. But it's kinda sad how everywhere Vash goes, disaster follows him. And now I finally figured out that those "power plants" were actually plants inside a glass-container. All this time I thought they were just huge light bulbs. |

Free_Candy said: "this only happens because you are here" Things get so hard, now when we're close to the end.. And I really like the sci-fi elements we're getting now. The theme in the final moment was so sad = |
  |
| A really intense episode this time. With a rather sad ending I might add. |

Confucius said: i always thought the earlier episodes were the cheesier ones with the screwball comedy. What is cheesy about this? The fact that Vash morns over the loss of a human life? I think you are missing the point of Vash's character. Vash is basically a combination of buddhist and catholic ideals made flesh. The author of the manga on which the tv show is somewhat based on was a buddhist like most people in Japan but converted to Catholicism and it show in his writing. Wolfwood on the other hand is an example of a man torn between ideals and reality which is why he is MUCH more willing to get his hands dirty. Finally for all of you enjoy the Trigun anime but are confused by the story I recommend you check out the Trigun and Trigun Maximum mangas as they go into more detail and explain alot more things like what plants really are and they also Alas86 said: 5tardust said: Not for me...

| I couldn't take Brad seriously, he looked like a weird vintage Scar from FMA xD Vash resolution to not kill anyone hurted a lot in this one. If he had killed the weird torpedo guy, the ship probably wouldn't have crashed... I guess it was Legato plan all along, to damage Vash psychologicaly. Knives seem to be badly injured (even amputated), maybe one of the reason of his grudge against Vash. Vash origin seem to be mystic. Brad talked about a timeless man or something like this, and he called the weird creature in the engine ''sister''. We could go farther and say that when he does that weird thing with is arm (the big laser), it is his true form. |

| Damn that ending :| lots of casualties this time :s Action packed episode in general though! |
 |
| Damn... that was a high body count of innocent people. Though its kinda messed up that they stayed secret up there. Who knows how much the "lost technology could have helped the rest of the people of that planet. I'm glad Wolfwood killed that guy. I have a lot of respect for Vash's code of ethics, but I'm glad there's a wolfwood around. Wolfwood is so cool, too bad his oufit is kinda lame, its so pedestrian. if they gave him black shoes and like a slightly loosened tie, that would raise his badassness by 50%. |
| Love and Peace!!! |

Great episode. Same, I am getting tired of Vash I agree "cheesy" seems like a totally inappropriate word to describe these last few episodes. I also agree that this series is getting better and more interesting, but also more tragic. Reminds me of the feelings I got while watching FMA brotherhood. OH and I'm SO mad at you for that spoiler Animalia!!... I know I know, I should have never looked at the button... I'm never clicking a spoiler button again... |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| The Gung-Ho Gun designs just get more interesting. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I think this show is getting really interesting now, the start was fun and all but it's interesting now like totally unexpected from the start but great. I really liked this. So Vash is one of the ones who does not age. |
 |
| R.I.P. Brad, didn't you expect you to tank the bullets for Vash :'( |
| A serious episode at once, it would be nice if the show was like that from the beginning. Nevertheless, a death of a newly shown character has no weight/burden at all. |
| This show seem to struggle a bit with the light hearted humor moments and serious dark undertone in the second half of the show. The comedic timing and funny vash faces he made during a massacre on the ship feel really awkward to me. |
| Poor Brad. Vash looked at him getting shot until the puppet run out of ammo,lol. |
 |
| This episode makes me curious with how old Vash actually is. RIP Brad. You were a surprisingly cool dude towards the end. |
 |
| Poor Brad. Vash couldn't do something about it? |

| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
| Thanfully the priest found the puppet master first, because if Vash were the one to find him I bet it would go somewhat like this: "Why?? Why are you doing this?!?! Blah blah oh well, you killed a lot of my friends and their families?? I'll cry but I'll let you go this time, and the next time...and the next..." LOL |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Damn, this episode tore at the heart strings a little bit, and for a character we barley knew. I'm really intrigued by this Knives/Vash relationship and what exactly are they?? Obviously I feel like they aren't human but possibly were once one in the same? Split from the same source and it created two forms, evil and good? |
 |
| Oh God. It gets me every time. 😢 |
 |
| Very sad episode - I was very sad when Brad died. The fight between Wolfwood and the giant had some weird pacing, but the action was exciting overall. The plant was really otherworldly and weird. We're really speeding ahead now to the end. |
| What an amazing episode, my favourite one for sure. Now I think that there is a possibility that I might give Trigun a score of a 9, but it will have to get even better than this till the end. Felt bad for Brad. He was being a bit of a dick earlier, but he just wanted to protect his people. Although my reaction to the moment when he gets shot got kind of ruined because of the way bullets entering his body was animated xd At first I thought "Wait, why is there no blood? Is he a fucking robot?! O:" and immediately after that, I realised that it's simply the way it was drawn and I just started laughing while Vash was holding Brad on his hands. lol |
| Absit invidia verbo... |
| Overall, I think this episode deserves a 4/5 |
