So this is a random thing, but I was sitting there contemplating the sand steamer episode of Trigun Stampede, thinking about how it acts like a ship, and why exactly did they model it in the shape of a ship, why not give it wheels, etc etc.
And it's very probably not this, just because Legato was still able to drive across the stretches and plus Livio fully fell onto the sand and he didn't sink - BUT I feel like it would be SUPER cool
If the stretches of area the sand steamer travels is fluidized sand:
Maybe NoMan's land has pockets of spaces, oceans??? Where there are gas pockets, a constant stream of air flowing underneath. And tbh I know in the 98 anime there's quick sand - which is sand with water around it, and occurs more often around bodies of water like lakes and rivers etc., In deserts it's possible but not common - which could explain why the sand steamer moves like that, but that explanation doesn't make sense to me, just because if there was an entire ocean of quick sand for the sand steamer to travel across - then why would they need water Plants at all??
Anyways, just a minor thought that I wanted to share.
