TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL14 PART 3
Chapter 6 – 7 review under the cut
AAAAAH I forgot what I wanted to say in the last chapter!! You know the black void where Vash gets called out by Meryl…It occured to me that THAT is where they got the idea in Stampede from! Both times Vash is caught in his head, of course under different circumstances, but both times it’s Meryl’s voice that brings him back to reality!!
Chapter 6:
There’s something beautiful about Meryl in this shower of feathers that I wanted to save.
And the fact that she tries not to shy away from it…even if she connects horrible memories with it! She’s so strong for this.
And Vash appreciates it. This is what is needed! She’s proof to Vash that people can overcome their fears, that this all is not in vain! She’s proof of a possible better future <:’))
Louder for the guys in the back, please.
The humans finally being confronted with the (often unknown!) consequences of their actions.
That almost made me cry. I’ve read this so often now! But still goosebumps.
The desperation in Knive’s eyes 🙁 I’m having sad feelings for him, too.
This! Is also a promise of a future! Thank GOD after 3-4 volumes Vash’s suicidal tendencies are finally over.
Shounen battle pose!! Wow Knives doesn’t look in such a good shape. You read this volume for the first time and just how interesting is it that the big, final showdown that was anticipated the whole time…starts only 2 chapters before the end of the series?? Or, you think it might start.
Chapter 7:
Oh my god I’m slightly tearing up again from reading. This series man.
Rem!! The words she said to Vash, which have been hinted at before!
Epic page! The art just gets better and better. And look how the fifth moon is looking down from above them.
I like how you can see how rebuilding his body uses up energy for Knives! And meanwhile, Vash is throwing away all bullets except for one. He doesn’t want this to be a fight, and he’s not planning to fight Knives.
Beautiful Vash panel ♥
Oh Knives…how anticlimatic and unusual that in the final big showdown, the antagonist has already lost everything! It’s not even a question of who has the upper hand anymore. I love love the unconventional way this ending plays out so much!
This….aaaah oh man, Knives!! You are such a tragic soul. “We’ve come this far caught up in something too big” yes you’re so right…the moment you decided to let the ships crash there was no going back anymore, and STILL you were just a child, hurt, confused and scared. You could not have really grasped the consequences of your actions, but what was done was done. Would Rem have survived, I think she could have given him absolution, and make him strive to work for a better future. Who knows, but I like to imagine that if his mother would have put him in a tight hug the moment he stood on top of the debris of the fallen and burning ships…maybe he would’ve broken down. And given himself the chance to admit his wrong doing. Of which he knew it was wrong! But because suddenly he and Vash were all alone..he couldn’t allow himself to see his mistake because then there would have been no one that could have saved him and comforted him.
What a great character!
Epic pooose
“But I was the one who broke away” KNIIIIVEs *sobs* oh man look how sad and also afraid he looks here! Or maybe just desperately sad because he knows, he destroyed something between them…
And that’s what Rem said!! Aaaah the feelings. Aaah boy.
Ah hey Chronica! There you are! NOT a good time, these two were having a moment here!
Knives did NOT foresee Vash not using his last bullet on him, but to deflect Chronica’s attack. Meanwhile he goes stab stab at Vash (bad brother!)
ddasffakm love this so much
And we can see the last of Vash’s hair turning black…used it all up for the wings.
fasfsafajf aaah more goosebumps
What’s with Livio fighting off beautiful women in this series?? (ok it’s the second one but it’s weird that it happened twice)
Instant damage to all Trigun readers because WOLFWOOD. Is he an actual ghost? Is this Livio’s mind, some psychological stuff happening? I don’t think it Nightow intended to be really clear about this, as it does not matter, the effect stands. Now I can wonder if what we heard earlier in the volume was also Wolfwood talking to Livio. Could be! I imagine this is more of an after image in his mind…but how nice it would be if there was some ghost Wolfwood? In that case he should make sure to visit Vash before he carries on to the after life. Any way it’s just incredible what an impact he has on those dear to him, to Livio and Vash alike until the end.
In that moment, we are all Livio. And with the morning sun…
What a beautiful ending to this fight. I could have never anticipated this outcome and am SO happy about it.
Last chapter and final thoughts will continue in the next post!
