Fun facts time!
So. The Stampede adaptation decided to do weird stuff with the timeline in hopes of the story feeling familiar and also new! So if you remember in the original Trigun anime, Vash is the 60 billion double dollar man, specifically for his destruction of July (dubbed the “Lost July”). Stampede decided to start BEFORE July fell, but still introduce us to the usual cast. So we get to see HOW he became wanted for that much money.
What also makes this timeline weird is that in the original Trigun, the destruction of July happened QUITE SOME TIME before where the story started in the anime. (Another difference between the manga and original anime is pretty much EVERYONE in July died. In the original anime, Vash just destroyed the city, and the only people who died was afterwards due to starvation and other means.)
Another cute little fun fact is that July 21st (the twins bday in Stampede) was actually a fan made birthday! In canon they never had an actual date stated, and the fans specifically chose July 21st due to it being the day July was destroyed. Which. If you’ll notice, when it cuts forward two years towards the end of episode 12, the radio host even says JuLai was destroyed on July 21st. Meaning Knives caused all those peoples deaths on their BIRTHDAY…
Small thing about Tessla (the other independent who was. dissected). She was only ever in the manga, and Knives and Vash actually fully read ALL the documentation on her. Including each experiment and brutal detail. Rem wasn’t one of the scientists, but DID kinda stand by and let it happen because there wasn’t anything she could do. If you didn’t notice, Tessla, despite being in pieces and being a big mush pile, was STILL ALIVE…
I cannot WAIT for season 2 and hope its even better than this one. I have my gripes about story changes but im holding out hope they won’t just. ignore certain aspects of the manga that I was praying would make it into Stampede.
tysm for finishing this series!!
