Trigun (トライガン, Toraigan?) is a sci-fi मांगा series with a अंतरिक्ष western theme created द्वारा Yasuhiro Nightow in 1995, and adapted into a 26 episode ऐनीमे series in 1998 द्वारा Madhouse. It is the story of Vash the Stampede, a.k.a. The Humanoid Typhoon, and the two Bernardelli Insurance Society employees, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who were ordered to follow him and minimize the damage that seems to follow Vash everywhere he goes. Like Himura Kenshin from the manga/anime series Rurouni Kenshin, Vash flips personalities between foolish and clumsy klutz and unstoppable warrior, but always believes that it is wrong to take the life of another, regardless of the circumstances.

Much of the damage attributed to "Vash" is caused द्वारा the activities of the bounty hunters who are after the 60,000,000,000$$ (sixty billion "double dollars") reward on Vash's head for the destruction of a city called July. Vash does not clearly remember the destruction of July, and only wants "love and peace", as he puts it; though he is a gunfighter of inhuman skill, he uses his weapons only to save lives wherever he can.

As the series progresses, और is gradually learned about Vash's mysterious history and the history of human civilization on Gunsmoke, the alien desert planet the series is set on. The series is often humorous in tone, but at the same time it involves very serious character development and especially in later episodes it becomes quite emotionally intense. Vash is occasionally joined द्वारा the preacher Nicholas D. Wolfwood, who is almost as good a gunfighter as Vash himself, and later is targeted द्वारा a band of assassins known as the Gung-Ho बंदूकों for reasons which are mysterious at first.

Trigun evolves into a very serious discussion of the nature of morality, posing सवालों such as: What is the nature of morality? Can we judge different moral codes? If a person is forced to betray their moral code, does that betrayal invalidate that moral code, and can the person still try to live up to that moral code? Can the person find redemption from their wrongs, and if so, how? Trigun also seems to challenge, through its storyline and artwork, common dualistic world देखा गया that see good and evil as being equal. It implies that good and evil are not equal and that there is something that stands outside of both and is greater than both.

Trigun was animated द्वारा Madhouse, broadcasted on TV Tokyo, produced द्वारा Victor Company of जापान (JVC) in 1998 and directed द्वारा Satoshi Nishimura with scripts द्वारा Yosuke Kuroda, character designs द्वारा Takahiro Yoshimatsu, mechanical designs द्वारा Noriyuki Jinguji and संगीत द्वारा Tsuneo Imahori. It is licensed in the United States द्वारा Pioneer USA (now Geneon). In 2003, Trigun began broadcast as part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. Despite the hopes of many fans, Nightow has stated[7] that due to the finality of the ऐनीमे ending, it is unlikely any continuation will be made.

The October 2005 issue of Neo magazine (A UK ऐनीमे magazine) includes an interview with Madhouse's founder and series planner, Masao Maruyama. In it, he says the studio is working on a Trigun Movie that should be released in a "couple of years". The November issue of ऐनीमे Insider also confirms this news.
