Line 470:
* [[Time Skip]]: Two years passes after {{spoiler|Vash blows a hole on the moon}}, transition from ''Trigun'' to ''Trigun Maximum''. Six years passes after {{spoiler|Vash defeats Knives and most Plants dies during the conflict}}, transition from ''Trigum Maximum'' to ''Trigun The Lost Plant''.
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Dominique the Cyclops pretends to be able to do this. In fact, she uses hypnosis to momentarily freeze her target.
* [[TranssexualTranssexualism]]: Elendira the Crimson Nail; also fits into the [[Villainous Crossdresser]] trope as a result of [[Did Not Do the Research]].
** Well, her surgical status is ambiguous and [[Villainous Crossdresser]] embraces scary trasgendered persons, given they have at least as much alarm capital to cash with the public.
* [[Training From Hell]]: Vash; Wolfwood; Livio; Monev; Rai Dei hints at this too. Strangely enough, Knives's apparent lack of regular training doesn't reduce his deadliness and muscle mass, because being an [[Ubermensch]] apparently gives you a near-unlimited supply of [[Rule of Cool|cool]].
Line 493:
** Midvalley's narration of his fight with Wolfwood (during much of which Wolfwood is blind) is actually particularly good.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Happens to quite a few villains, some of whom commit suicide or start [[W/Angst|Angsting]] if they fail.
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Elendira, the only [[TranssexualTranssexualism|trans woman]] [[Badass]] enough to freak people out while being called "the Crimsonnail," fits this trope to a large extent.
** She is equally subject to censorship for being a trannie and for being ''terrifying.'' In a world of guns, Rai-dei got by with a sword and was [[Lampshade Hanging|appropriately observed to be crazy]]. In the same world, Elendria fights with '''a briefcase full of giant red nails,''' as in hardware supplies, and is very possibly the most deadly thing on the planet. (Only because Knives is lazy and Vash is [[The Fettered]], mind.)
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Played for [[Gallows Humor|gruesome fun]] with Legato's junk food addiction; never has eating ice cream looked creepier. Also creepy in the case of Knives, seen [[Sealed Evil in a Can|hanging around naked in a tube]] and drinking [[A Glass of Chianti]] in an oasis in the anime, and playing the organ in bondage gear in his base and [[Wangst|hanging around with a depressed/psychotic expression]] in the manga. Knives might be the laziest, most idle [[Big Bad]] around, which is bound to make us think he'd be less messed-up if he had a hobby or something. As for Elendira, she likes reading cards while fawning over Knives, apparently.
