Vash the Stampede: hi my name is Vash the Stampede. I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Love. all I really want to do is have a sandwich and a morning coffee without getting chased by bandits

some bandit: (gunshot) absolutely not. square up faggot

Vash: rats.

[gunfight]

Vash the Stampede: my name is Vash the stampede. I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Love.could I please have a sandwich

Meryl from the Bernardelli Insurace Society: how long are you going to sit on your ass doing nothing but playing games with children and doing chores for the elderly and disabled and looking after lonely youths and cooking dinner for the homeless

Vash: I've been here for like 2 days

Milly Thompson: Hi Vash!

Vash: Hi Milly

[exit left pursued by bounty hunters]

Vash the Stampede: (panting, entering a bar) my name is Vash the stampede.... I am a hunter of Peace chasing the elusive mayfly of Good L*rd what is going on in here

Hostage: mphdsfhapff!!!! mffmpphhf!!!!

Villain of the week: well if it isn't the elusive Vash the Stampede! you see it all started when I was 4 days old and you kicked me like a football and then exploded my parents to death with a laser canon and killed every puppy in a ten ile (translator's note: this is the No Man's Land equivalent of the American Mile) radius

Vash: I don't remember doing that but well I suppose you can shoot me if it'll make you feel better

Side character of the week: Are you insane? Just shoot him instead???

Vash: but my mom told me not to be mean to people

Villain of the week: (still going) And as I am now 47 years old I have finally decided to get my revenge. Say your prayers, Vash the Pisshead

[Wall explodes and reveals a motorcycle with a sexy priest on it]

[sfx: guitar with a hint of electric distortion]

Vash: is that..... Wolfwood?

Meryl who was in the background this whole time: the priest?

Nicholas Dickolas Wolfwood: (brings his fingers up to a pair of luscious lips to grab the cigarette from right between them, taking one more slow inhale before crushing the cherry red underneath his heel)(sensually cocks one of his 8 guns) Are you just gonna let this guy talk down to you like that needle noggin?

Vash: I g-

[guitar riff bumper]

[guitar riff bumper]

Vash: -uess not, since you're here to help now... (slow, warm smile) Wolfwood

Nicholas D. ranged Wolfwood: Vash

Milly who was also in the background this whole time: Hi mr priest man! isn't this lovely, I haven't seen you since the last time you spoke with mr Vash yesterday evening when you were helping him buckle all those silly belts on his pants after he had lost them somehow

Vash: On a cactus

Milly: On a cactus! Oh it must've hurt so terribly; how fortunate that Mr Priest man was there to help you

Wolfwood: Hi Milly

[gunfight]

Villain of the week: ohhhhh curses!!! CURSES!!!! I have spent my whole existence getting ready to fight Vash the Stampede but he's just too good at swallowing all my bullets!!!!!!

Vash the Stampede: my tragic dead mother would be sad if I didn't swallow everyone's bullets so I've trained diligently every morning at digesting gunpowder without dying immediately

Wolfwood: [internally: I can't believe it. All this time I've spent walking the path of darkness, reaching to a pure light that I could never grasp, and yet here is a man who's dedicated his life and his body to the pursuit of Peace. I wish he were a woman so I could fuck him romantic style. I've got a whole plan for it and everything. Whiskey, sunset, a bed with no sand in it, 6 hours. This would be fully and completely possible if only he were a woman. Unfortunately he's not, but I can still think about the what-ifs. platonically of course. Maybe if he got some good dick he'd stop being so annoying. And maybe he'd stop making me rethink my morals. I wonder if the seven drunken handies meant anything to him. Platonically]

Wolfwood: Well anyway it looks like my job is done here

Vash: (teary) Will I see you again?

Wolfwood: I don't know. And besides, whenever I look at you, I'm reminded of everything I hate about myself. You know, it hurts.

[exit Nicholas D. Wolfwood pursued by repressed homosexual desires and immense catholic guilt]

Vash the Stanned Peat: (looking out the window like a widow whose husband was killed in action) Nicholas... D... Wolfwood.......

Meryl who was in the background that entire time, yes, the whole time: shut the fuck up already

Vash: when will it be my turn Meryl. When

Thinking about how Legato is "set free" by Plants twice. First given life, then secondly given death. Perfect yin-yang twin-like symmetry. Because Knives freed Legato from slavery, but he couldn't and wouldn't give him a life he wouldn't then also wish to be freed from. His disdain for humans made him neglect and abuse Legato, shattering his mind and breaking his body. Of course Legato would've preferred Knives to do it, to set him free this second time — which is why he asked Knives if he would get as angry again as he did at July should Legato kill Vash. But Knives only mocked him and his power, after a lifetime of loyalty and service. In that moment Legato must have understood that Knives didn't even care enough about his dog to put it out of its misery.

However. Legato is actually a logical and calculating villain (UNLIKE Knives, who only pretends to be). Legato sets clear goals & pursues them methodically — and with success, for the most part! He wanted to serve Knives — he got to do that. He wanted to make Vash suffer — boy did he ever. He wanted to be an indispensable part of Knives' work on the planet — and he was, even if Knives' pride and misanthropy would never let him admit it. By contrast, Knives is unstable and childish and doesn't successfully reach any of his goals that I can think of. He tried to wipe out humanity twice and failed both times. He wanted Vash back at his side, that never happened. He wanted to "liberate" all Plants, they continued to serve humans long after Knives' death. Etcetera. Knives doesn't get what he wants. Legato does. And Legato hated humans so much that he would never have accepted death from one, presumably not even from himself (I mean, despite how obviously depressed and traumatized he is, he never committed suicide). No, one way or another Legato was always going to die by inhuman hands. That was his final goal, achieved like all the others. And in perfect Bluesummers form, too — tormenting Vash to the very end, in the most haunting and soul-destroying way possible. If Legato couldn't have a life that fulfilled him he would at least get a death that honored him.

"i asked chatgpt" "i asked grok" well i asked Legato why he as a human serves a guy whose explicit goal is total extinction of the human race and he revealed a backstory so harrowing and brutal that the manga's editorial category switched to seinen solely for that one chapter
