Original Tumblr Post: TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL13 PART3

TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL13 PART3

Aaand the final chapters for this volume. Boy I’m gonna be so sad when the last volume will be finished after next week.

Chapters 7-9 review under the cut.

Chapter 7:

image

Personal trainer Razlo!!

image

These pages of Razlo lifting Livio up mean so much to me…

image

Saving this one for a drawing reference!

image

I like this quiet panel of Elendira in front of the bomb…I want to know what is your backstory? What has driven you to be such a devoted servant of Knives and wish for the end of humanity so much? 

image

This whole fight is soo cool! Wonder if that’s Razlo speaking or Livio, cuase it sounds more like Razlo, and I think they are kinda switching back and forth the whole time.

image

TO HIMMM AAAAAAAH BUHUHUHUUU (nothing more coherent to add to that)

Chapter 8:

image

And that’s it! The end of this incredibly cool fight, Elendira deafeated by her own nail! 

image

You didn’t let him down!! :’((( He’d be so proud! 

image

I love love these panels, with the light coming from below here.

Also, Guernica like the spanish town and the drawing by Picasso? Wonder if there’s any reason to that or if it just sounded cool for Nightow.

image

Oh, right. I kinda forgot another good reason why Legato hates Vash, which is Vash nearly killed Knives? 😀 Yeah that might get him a bit worked up.

image

I’m feeling a bit sorry for Legato here, because wow Knives, that was uncalled for? He’s just worried for you, no need to be mean.

image

Phew, badass. Not gonna lie, doing these recaps and reading more has made me interested to dig into some Knives/Legato fanfics. There’s a lot of potential for so many interesting ways to go about their relationship! Maybe when I want to get a change to reading my vashwood…

image

I thought at first he had been unconscious and his defense mechanism was a reaction of him passing out (you know, like Tessaiga and Inu Yasha in vol…uh 13 I think? Probably made me subconsciously think of that) so it’s interesting to see he’s still very much conscious, but at this point, no more able to controll his body and all of his plant mechanisms. The way Vash clings to his right arm is maybe him trying to keep his arm from transforming into angel arm?

image

Little Vash collection of this spread. I need to safe more Vash faces, been neglecting that too much!

image

Uuuh another really awesome spread.

Chapter 9:

image

Oof Legato got angeled.

image

On my refound mision to save more Vash faces! 

image

Man I really like Legato as a villain! I mean sure, there are more nuanced villains out there, but in his unhingedness, his very clear motive, his adoration to Knives, and his absolute determination to make life a living hell for Vash, he’s so fun to observe! Also curse you for hurting our son and so on.

image

And, good that he’s happy…I guess?

image

Don’t look so beautiful when you’re crammed in between these Wolfwood panels, Vash, this’ll kill me…
(I am kinda wondering if it’s really him thinking of that time or if it’s just plot device for the scene? That would be confusing though, so I guess it’s really that Vash is thinking about this now)

image

That response by Legato, I really enjoy that story-wise.

image

The way he’s able to hold his ground against Vash’s power is pretty badass! Most of the time he was stuck in some big man-holster so it wouldn’t be obvious, but he’s actually an impressive fighter!

image

But you’re still shooting at my baby so I’m not admitting that out loud.

image

Kinda reminds you of that scene in the town where Vash and Wolfwood had been driven out, right? 

image

Turning that around so that Vash’s expression is better to see: look how terrified he is that his body’s response will kill Legato here! 

image

Aah and this answers my question in my last post, about how they knew about Vash. Isn’t that kinda beautiful how every plant on this planet holds on image of Vash in their mind? 

image

Uuuh Chronica is out there for revenge for Domina.

image

Those two! It’s so wonderful seeing them helping out time and time again and just doing their best! Also that panel where they talk about Vash, so cute to see the different impressions he’s made on them both! Different things have stuck out for them, which tells a lot about their own characters and their relationship with Vash. The last panel of Meryl thinking of Vash is also very cute! I personally like to think of her feelings towards him as platonic, but in that way, definitely a very strong love and trust for Vash…either way it’s beautiful to witness!

image

Oh my god, they all believe in him so much…first Wolfwood, then Livio, and Meryl and Milly, too…

image

Turned this page around because I had to get a better look….you made him cry!! You made my boy cry! 

And, I can post no more pictures but you know Vash just shot down the device…..Sir, not to question your way of fighting, but why would you want to give Legato a last chance to defy you with his full powers? I don’t think this is such an excellent idea? 

Well, that’s vol13 for you. Again, more emotions were gained in this read through, emotions for black-coat Vash and Legato as well!
