[ID: A panel from Trigun Maximum. Wolfwood and Vash, both bedraggled and bloodied, are sitting in the desert. Wolfwood is explaining, "I shot him. I tried to kill him and make it look like an accident. Then I took his place as "Chapel". My plan was eventually to kill Knives." End ID.]

Doylist explanation for the migration of the name "Chapel": Nightow invented Wolfwood as an individual character long before he invented the Eye of Michael and the character of Chapel so he added this story of Wolfwood making the switch and taking Chapel's place, banking on the Gung-Ho Guns only getting the name of the assassin to expect and not a description.

Watsonian explanation: Wolfwood knew that the Gung-Ho Guns had gotten a name but not a description, so as long as he turned up with one of the Eye of Michael's iconic weapons, he'd be golden, and Legato didn't actually give enough of a flying fuck to check in if he'd gotten the right assassin or not

#Trigun #Any angle on this is very funny to me tbh #we do sorta see this with the bait-and-switch arrival of Double Fang and Tri-P of Death #via murdering two utter randos with just enough iconography to make them look Eye of Michael #Like do you think if those randos had gotten in and said they were the hired assassins would Legato even know?
