one thing I'm rather disappointed by is that we don't get Vash's altercation with Rem following the Tesla reveal.
it's a rare moment where Vash is fully angry, and he's directing that anger at Rem! Vash even goes so far as to stab her – an action he regrets immediately.

Not sure how many folks will see this, but I wanted to share a PSA for episode 11 of Trigun Stampede.
This week’s episode has a lot of extremely intense themes and visuals.
It’s done very well, but it was pretty triggering and I sort of wish I had waited to watch it back to back with next week’s episode. I wanted to share some info in case anyone else struggles with watching certain themes like I do, whether it’s live action or animation.
Spoilers, thoughts, and descriptions of potential triggering content under the break.
- This was heavily hinted at from the preview, but Vash is essentially tortured (mentally and physically) for this entire episode.
- While in Vash’s (semi-warped) memories, we see child-age Rollo get vividly shot in the head on screen
- Meryl spends the episode watching Vash going through everything and the secondhand helplessness as a viewer is distressing as hell
- The memory scene with Tesla, while brief, is incredibly disturbing. The twins discover dismembered pieces of Tesla’s body floating in separate containers, after which a status of “ALIVE” is shown for her on the data screen. Felt genuinely nauseous at this part
- Knives manipulates Vash into thinking the Big Fall was his fault entirely, that the humans being killed was just a result of Knives acting out of love (protection) for Vash
- As the episode progresses, Knives is essentially destroying Vash’s memories and erasing all the connections he has made mentally and emotionally with humans. This ends with Rem being decapitated by Knives in Vash’s last remaining memory - thankfully she stylistically bleeds geraniums instead of blood, but it’s still pretty damn grim
- The reveal of Vash’s vines/wings having some degree of involvement in the plants becoming/looking pregnant was super uncomfortable. Not quite sure how to word this, but it sort of gave off forced group rape vibes??
- Overall, potential triggering content: gore, torture, body horror, bodily autonomy being totally destroyed and ignored, gaslighting by a loved one, etc
I love this iteration of Trigun, and I’ve watched every other episode of this season multiple times, but I’m not sure if I can watch this one again. Phenomenally done, but I feel sick to my stomach seeing Vash go through all of this, maybe because he’s been so loved by myself and others for over 20 years.
Ramble over, love and peace to you all x
