Trigun/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: William Conrad is named after the character from the radio show Gunsmoke. He also bears a striking resemblance to Patrick Stewart.
  • Fan Nickname: Leggie or Leggah for Legato; Bashu (i.e. the Japanese pronunciation) for Vash; Wolfie, Wolf or Nick for Nicholas D. Wolfwood; sometimes Naibuzu (the Japanese pronunciation) for Knives.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: To name a few; Johnny Yong Bosch (in his first role!) and Masaya Onosaka as Vash, Jeff Nimoy and Show Hayami as Wolfwood, Dorothy Fahn and Hiromi Tsuru as Meryl.
    • Ivan Buckley playing a Corrupt Corporate Executive?! Preposterous! Wait...[1]
    • Mona Marshall, who voices Kite from the .hack quadrilogy (as well as South Park's Sheila Broflovski) voices...Kaite, a 2-part character from Trigun.
      • Young Knives is voiced by Joshua Seth, voice of Tai from Digimon Adventure. It's very easy to find out, seeing as how he does nothing to differentiate Young Knives from his Tai voice. One could put a voice clip of Young Knives onto Tai and Digimon fans who haven't seen Trigun would be confused.
      • Rem is voiced by Bridget Hoffman, voice of Namie from Durarara. Now, try to imagine her suddenly as a mother figure to Izaya. On that note, young Vash is voiced by Masaomi.
  • The Other Darrin: The only voice actor to return to reprise their role for the movie's English dub is Johnny Yong Bosch as Vash. Jeff Nimoy and Dorothy Fahn were both interested in reprising their roles of Wolfwood and Meryl respectively, but Funimation replaced them behind their backs mid-negotiations. Lia Sargent was also replaced as Milly, but this was expected as she had retired years earlier.
  • Portmanteau Series Nickname: "Trimax" or "Tri Max" for Trigun Maximum.
  • Word of God: Nightow says that Kuroneko-sama is female and that Vash and Wolfwood aren't in a gay relationship, yaoi Doujinshi notwithstanding. He has also provided Wolfwood with about half a dozen middle names to go with that 'D'.
    • The best obviously being Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora.
  1. Ivan Buckley voice acts Cliff Schezar in Episode 2 of Trigun, and voice acts Ronald MacDougall in most of all of Outlaw Star.
