Original Tumblr Post: TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL3 PART 2
TRIGUN BOOKCLUB TRIMAX VOL3 PART 2
Continuation and last part for vol03!
I was told there is another picture of Knives in that weird armor in front of the piano..here it is! Pretty cool piano/ organ thing?
And we get a yound Doc! Recognizable by his signature smile!
Aaah that stare of Vash here…he looks so surprised. Even more so than relieved, though, of course he also is. There is something in this stare that makes it different to the times where they fought against other evil guys and got in similar dangerous situations. Maybe because it’s a personal environment to Vash here. That human guy, though obviously suspicious, followed him to his most personal space, and fought agains the people who hurt Vash’s family…and he survived! And maybe it’s also because he just woke up after the fight, dreaming of his past when he landed there…just…there’s no facade here! No fake smile, just pure unfiltered emotion.
Awww man. I think the world would be a better place if everybody just got the chance to be hugged by Vash like Jessica here. Also hehe, is Meryl clobbing him on the head because he didn’t say her name correctly? 😀 Or because he got himself in the hospital again? Maybe both! I like you, Mery.
Luida! I love her <3 In Stampede, she seems a lot softer and we get more insight of her, which I loved too. Here she seems like a strong, reliable leader character (don’t like the word “leader” but I think it describes her well still)
Tell us your secrets, Mr. Cool Guy
Somebody tell me this is not Wolfwood having a nightmare and sobbing in his sleep. Oh god I think this is Wolfwood having a nightmare and sobbing in his sleep.
Such an important conversation of these two!!! Because it’s Vash recognizing that Wolfwood killed, again acted against Vash’s ideal, and he is still thankful. He recognizes that in the end it helped to save a lot of people, and that it was necessary. The realisation might be easier for Vash to make because it is his own family, people to whom he is very close, that was saved in the process…and he realizes that expecting Wolfwood to act after his own wishes and ideals is putting a big strain on Wolfie! That’s Vash starting to understand him, even though he might still not be willing to act differently himself.
Pretty cute pic of little Jessica and Vash! I wonder why this is such a big revelation for Wolfwood…did he not know how old Vash is? Also, Jessica isn’t so old herself, so a 15 year younger Vash still looking like today is not that surprising…he could be 20 in that image and 35 today. But uh well I guess the reader gets the point here.
Family picture time! Love how little Brad looks, he looks so cute and like he was constantly in trouble (but being a very sweet child actually). And Jessica is even taller than him!
Cute Wolfie panel <3
Aaand a beautiful page, again. I love Vash with his coat but the hair down. He looks so much younger and vulnerable.
Again, Wolfwood had to witness how careless Vash is with his life sometimes…he can’t understand who Vash will again and again chose to value other people’s lives over his own. He won’t die in the process, but he’ll get hurt over and over again. I think that side of Vash is strange for Wolfwood, maybe offputting even. But then he sees how Vash despite all that knows the names of all the passengers. How it’s not just an act, he really cares for those people. And not only those…everyone out there, he sees the good in every person.
It might not be something Wolfwood will every fully understand and surely not something he’s able to do, feeling and showing compassion to every stranger and threat, but this moment here is where Wolfwood, just like Vash some pages before, acknowledges Vash’s ideals. He starts to understand him and respect him more for that. Their relationship, which is so much about understanding each other with and without talking, has taken another big step with this chapter! Both have come to terms with each other’s world view, and while they might not make it their own credo, they understand and respect it!
That’s it for Vol03!
