Nightow NOT remembering how his own characters acted during the first two non-maximum books (I'm looking at you, Millie) is the prime example of how the idea of mangas being the canon in the manga/anime diatribe is simply bollock. Paper thin story with no consistency, Vash already changing his behaviour in small parts, humour completely disappeared, how in the hell I bought and managed to read all this series ten years ago is a complete mistery to me. Good riddance.
