added "Averse Adept"
No edit summary
(added "Averse Adept")
Line 20:
** [[Broken Ace]]
* [[Action Girl]]: Dominique the Cyclops and a few others.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: With names like Vash the Stampede, Legato Bluesummers, and Millions Knives... names like Meryl Strife and Millie Thompson don't exactly seem to fit.
** Averted. Strife: Battle; Conflict; War. Thompson: As in the Thompson sub-machine gun, the defining firearm of 1920s-'30s American gangsters.
** The whole world is a mess of Midvalleys and Brads, so not genuinely averted, even if the main cast gets a pass. And Nicholas D. Wolfwood manages to straddle the line with a perfectly normal [[Awesome McCoolname]].
** Their names are probably based off of Meryl Streep and Milly Tomlin (SP?) the actresses.
* [[An Aesop]]: Violence only creates more violence; non-violence is the key to solving conflicts (maybe); love thine enemy; [[He Who Fights Monsters]]; [[Green Aesop|nuclear power is bad]]; respect difference; in other words, [[Catch Phrase|LOVE AND PEACE!]]
* [[Aesoptinum]]{{context}}
* [[After the End]]: Just living on Gunsmoke in the first place. The fact that they wound up there after an attempt to escape a ruined Earth went wrong. And then in the manga Armageddon-via-Knives kinda comes and goes and the story carries on.
* [[Ain't Too Proud to Beg]]: Vash in an attempt to save Lina. He's also not too proud to strip naked and bark like a dog.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
{{quote|'''Frank Marlon''': ...You drink too much.
'''Vash''': I'M SORRY! *heave*}}
* [[An Aesop]]: Violence only creates more violence; non-violence is the key to solving conflicts (maybe); love thine enemy; [[He Who Fights Monsters]]; [[Green Aesop|nuclear power is bad]]; respect difference; in other words, [[Catch Phrase|LOVE AND PEACE!]]
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: ''Trigun The Lost Plant'', introduces Verona Tsubasa, a woman following Vash around on search for the titular lost plant; {{spoiler|the setting is placed six years later the original manga ending, Verona is the real focus of the story, Vash is just kind of there, and no other characters make a return, in fact, they are not even mentioned}}.
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: Manga ending falls somewhere between here and [[Here We Go Again]]. {{spoiler|Since the Knives situation has been resolved, Vash is free to enjoy his wandering life more, but the gag of Meryl and Millie becoming [[Paparazzi|TV reporters hired to chase him around]] is kinda out there, and worse than insurance by a long way.}}
Line 42:
* [[The Atoner]]: Vash; Wolfwood.
* [[Author Appeal]]: All the elaborate cowboy-like outfits and uniforms with all sorts of useless straps and buttons, huge collars etc. Also present in Nightow's other work, ''[[Gungrave]]''. [http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/02.10/feature/4/1.jpg See] [http://media.animegalleries.net/albums/userpics/37811/Gungrave_image1.jpg for yourself].
* [[Averse Adept]]: The first few episodes of ''Trigun'' show that Vash the Stampede is good at defeating armies and handling villains. He also hates being a [[Person of Mass Destruction]] owing to the harm it causes, which is why he keeps traveling a lot.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Brilliant Dynamites Neon.
** Nicholas D. Wolfwood.
