Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2026, Week 06]
nyan@lemmy.cafe 1 week agoTrigun Stargaze - still more or less following the original story, so now we’re moving into Legato and the Gung-ho Guns (though I don’t think that name has been used for them, and I assume at least the cheesier ones from the original aren’t going to appear in this more serious reboot).
Most of the Gung-Ho Guns in the first anime were taken from the Trigun Maximum manga (the exceptions were Caine the Longshot, who was a pure anime-original, and Chapel the Evergreen, who had been mentioned but not depicted in the manga at the time, so the anime team created their own character design). So the rest of them—Midvalley, Zazie, and so on—may well show up in the rebooted anime.

Ah - thanks for that. It’s been too long since I watched the original, and I’m a bot fuzzy on the details.
E.G. Mine already appeared and was dealt with relatively early in Stampede, and Leonof appeared a couple of episodes back in Stargaze.
Zazie was actually a recurring character in Stampede and has already appeared in the first episode of Stargaze, and is portrayed as essentially the consciousness of the planet - a sort of collective consciousness of the worms. They’re fairly sympathetic (and even sort of grudgingly friendly with Meryl).
Hoppered appeared early in Stargaze. He nursed Vash back to health after Lost July, not knowing who he was, then challenged him to a fight when he found out who he was, which is what drug Vash back to reality.
Legato appeared briefly in Stampede, and again in the most recent episode of Stargaze and appears to be set to play much the same role in this as he did in the original.
And Midvalley was introduced in the most recent episode snd looks to be the focus of at least the next episode.
