Vash in Trigun '98 - 1st episode: Comes barreling through on a tomas, can't control the thing, is jouncing around in the saddle like an sack of potatoes that's not going to stay on for more than two seconds. Maybe it's a ruse just to get the Insurance Girls out of trouble... In the episode with Lina and Granny - a mention of one of his hospitalizations: "He fell off the tomas." (And falling off a mount can be serious business. My niece got a concussion and broken front teeth from falling off her horse...) But whatever... he seems to have a habit of bad luck with toma... It's like... '98 Vash... can't ride. Or ride well. Or maybe the tomas just don't like him. Stampede Vash? PENTULTIMATE RIDER!!! Absolute master...avianquestrian? aviquestrian? Whatever you'd call an equestrian but for big mutant birds? Ah, the things you notice when you revisit old media.
