All I have to say is....that damn couch.

[Othy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Having only watched the anime, I would never have expected that the original manga would have developed the world, characters, and plot to this fine a detail. What is really striking, however, is the art. This is where Nightow shines. His panels are big, he knows how to use them dramatically, and his characters are highly detailed. His dialogue and movement between panels could use a lot of work (it's sometimes confusing to figure out what is actually happening), but the art makes up for it.

volume 10 lowkey being the most heartbreaking thing ever like whatever… there’s kind of a lot of nonsense that’s happening here (nightow’s sloppy action paneling strikes again) and i’m really trying to stay engaged now that wolfwood isn’t around but oommffgggggg the last few chapters being total bombshells #woah. very interested to see how this is going to wrap up bc like things are looking very bleak here!!!!!!!!!

Well, the moment we’ve all been dreading, but knew we’d have to face eventually. You know the one.
On the couch?
R.I.P.
The Razlo fight was great. Such kinetic action. Nightow really has a talent for fast paced action panels, movement, drawing characters in dynamic poses.
The change of heart was a little too abrupt for my liking.
While I like getting a backstory for Legato and how he joined Knives, sexual assault as a trope is pretty overdone & easy.
Also…did Zazie really have to pull the sand worm out of her…y’know.

This plot just gets more and more wild. It is now very different from the anime (both). I love the fact that the Federation Fleet shows up, and how everything gets more complicated from there. The friendship Vash shares with Wolfwood, and Wolfwoods belief in Vash finally. Yes! I am excited to see where this is going and how it is going to end.

Nightow finally reaches full realization of his vision, talents and story in this massive volume, with new touches of space opera touching down as Vash continues to push forward in his heroes journey.

We've reached the point where this is so far removed from the anime it might as well be a different story altogether. It's still very good; I'm excited for the end game.

8/10 Very Good

[MR A · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicholas d wolfwood is one of the best fictional characters ever

[Al Capwned · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely the best volume so far but I expected to care a lot more about what happened to a specific character (but also in general).

[Garrett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I haven’t cried in months but wolfwoods death got me I’m so upset

[Dan P · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this manga is so good!! I was secretly afraid that my memories from 20 years ago weren't reliable but oh my godddddd Trigun still kicks so much ass. Read this!!

[ShingetsuMoon · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this omnibus collection we start off continuing the fight between Wolfwood and Razlo/Livio. This leads to an ending that was both a bit familiar but still slightly surprising in regards to the decision Livio makes.

As expected Vash steps in to provide support but there isn’t time to stop and think about what has happened to Wolfwood. Knives onslaught against humanity is still ongoing and humanity has gathered in one last city to make their stand.

Out in space more forces have arrived and are ready to fight against Knives and the Plants as well, but he proves more cunning and more dangerous then expected.

Time is running out and it seems likely that the final showdown will be happening in the next volume.

It’s interesting to see the difference between how the Plants on the planet are treated versus how they have developed and grown with the space forces.

I look forward to seeing how this story arc ends.

TW: There is a male on male r*pe scene in the very last volume, last chapter. I was honestly surprised at how graphic it was, since the rest of the manga isn't like that?

Lots of battles in this one, lots of back story and world building. You can tell it's winding down.
