Original Tumblr Post: TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL10 PART 2
TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL10 PART 2
It feels nearly impossible to properly write down what you’re feeling when reading this whole, but nonetheless, you gotta try! I trust every reader is going through the same emotions on this one.
Chapter 3 only (since I’m just copying every page of the chapter apparently). Next chapters will follow!
Because he has not forsaken you, you doofus.
Got to mention here how much I love Nightow’s storytelling through all of this. Wolfwood’s inner monologues are so so raw.
This look on Vash…is something we’ve not seen often before. If at all? Vash never really shows anger, but this? This is grim determination.
Can you not see, Wolfwood, that YOU are important to him, too?
Also that image…angels wings under the church bell tower.
The way this monologue of Wolfwood feels when reading out the first time, and reading it all in one go….I really don’t know how to put in words how much I feel this talk, how well it is done, how it lets us feel with Wolfwood and the whole scene….
Wait wait wait I gotta retract what I said in Part one because apparently I remembered it wrong…it is only NOW that Wolfwood bites down on the vials? Because he sees Vash is in a pinch and might not be able to save them all if Razlo keeps shooting and shooting. And there’s still Chapel. Wolfwood must know what this means for him, drinking these vials…and still chose to do this.
He knows, but it was the only way.
Because he’s here to protect his loved ones and for that he’s doing ANYTHING.
Interrupting this sad commentary for Vash’s twinkly anime eyes ♥ He’s in a pinch seeing his loved person die but at least he’s looking pretty in the process!
Calling him idiot and dumbass is truly Wolfwood’s love language
You know I’m really feeling sorry for Razlo. There’s one person that makes him give a reason to exist, and no matter how evil that person, to him…seeing that person die is hard. Razlo, too, never really had a choice in life, much like Wolfwood.
There is this theory that Vash can read minds (he has telepathy with plants after all) that is canon? Half canon? But there are instances in the manga which support it strongly, like this one, too. It makes sense, because the panel in the bottom right corner looks like Vash has just heard or seen something, as he is processing it in his mind. I don’t think Wolfwood did actively try to talk to Vash per telepathy- I think at this moment he’s just begging in his mind, hoping Vash will know what he needs now. And still, he is so afraid of them seeing the person he has become. Oh, my dear boy.
I will look at the above panel for eternity.
There it is, the counterpart to Wolfwood’s thoughts about Vash. We never, apart from the beginnen, really get to hear Vash’s thoughts about Wolfwood. We know what Wolfwood thinks, very often we are witness to his exasperation about Vash’s actions, his behaviour, his believes…but what does Vash think? He never speaks about his emotions and his thoughts and feelings, and even the reader can only guess by his face and by what we know so far. That we get to read this now…shows how important Wolfwood. Storywise, and to Vash. They had their disagreements, but they managed. And Vash…was intrigued. As in, this is not just a person he shortly met, and that will be out of his life soon after. They became travel partners. “But I wonder what it meant to him” Is he talking about his relationship as a whole, or the disagreements? It might be both.
I believe the story between Vash and Wolfwood is a story about love and trust. But one that does not start at the beginning, but takes time. That grows and grows and that’s why it feels so strongly at the end, here, because both know each other completely and learned to love each other as they are and…and yeah
Then, we get the flashback. Oh man flashbacks to their first meeting, Nightow is using every trope to hit us harder and harder. Stop, we are already lying on the ground and bleeding!
The battle couple is back at town!
Just saving Vashwood pics
Thanks Nightow for giving us a little bantering. I GUESS.
OH god I will have to do so many parts for this volume because I’m aleady at 14 pics for this chapter and I just looked at what the next chapter contains and then there are 3 more chapters after that. I will take the whole night sighs.
