Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: The manga really goes to great lengths if not to humanize the villains, then to make the readers understand their motivations and grief.
* [[Anvilicious]]: See [[An Aesop]] on the main page.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: There's a moment in ''Trigun Maximum'' where Vash and Livio are counting the coins they got from the Gung-ho guns. They were missing one. Suddenly, a muscular black guy with weird hair and skimpy disco attire comes in and gives them the coin, pulls a bug out of his mouth, then proceeds to ask whether Vash or Livio prefer clams or fish. Granted, there's a reason why this happened (Zazie used her mind control worms), but it's random, it's weird, and after the incident, nobody talks about it again.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Legato in the anime.
* [[Contemplate Our Navels]]: Knives; Legato; Livio to a large extent; most of the Gung-Ho Guns. Vash mostly escapes this trend through [[Stepford Smiler|frantic goofball action]], though he has understandable moments of this too.
* [[Creepy Awesome]]: Legato.
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
** In the anime, the battle of Vash and Knives in the final episode.
** In the manga, Wolfwood vs Livio, Chapel and Razlo. All of it.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: ''H.T'', as well it should be -- Tsuneobe—Tsuneo Imahori (the musician responible for the aforementioned awesomeness ) is also one of the lead guitarists in [[Cowboy Bebop|The Seatbelts]].
* [[Cry for Thethe Devil]]: In the manga, some of the "Knives chapters" seem to express almost too much sympathy towards him, it even feels like Nightow identifies the most with his point of view at times. [[Your Mileage May Vary]], of course.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Almost too many to count. Legato makes fangirls pass out all over the place (even though [[Depraved Homosexual|he's gay]], and was even a gigolo -- onlygigolo—only in the manga, though). Knives has a fervent fandom too.
** {{spoiler|especially when it's implied that they're both cannibals}}.
* [[Fan Wank]]: Not as bad as in other fandoms, but still pretty bad at times.
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* [[Iron Woobie]]: Vash, apparently. Seriously, ''nothing'' is allowed to go right in his life, and he loses everything and takes it very much on his own head whenever anyone gets hurt on a half-civilized planet with almost no natural resources and loads of guns. And it took him ''over'' a hundred years to ''briefly'' give up.
* [[It Was His Sled]]: Most of the anime's big twists have long since passed into common knowledge in the English-speaking anime community by now, to the extent that when [[Adult Swim]] chose one episode to air for their 2012 April Fool's Day [[Toonami]] block, it was the one where {{spoiler|Wolfwood}} dies.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Knives, in the manga. andAnd Legato.
* [[Moe]]: Let's face it, Vash is a very Moe character. You just have to see the visceral [[Squee|Squees]]s he seems to trigger all over the fandom.
* [[Narm Charm]]: Debatable too -- Vashtoo—Vash and Knives's <s> whining</s> pathetic ways of arguing about their very extreme ideologies bring out their emotional immaturity, as they can't seem to get more nuanced than "everybody is good vs. everybody is evil."
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:
** A ''lot'', especially with Legato and the sense of impending apocalypse.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
** Also in the anime, the infamous hot dog scene.
* [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]]: Killing people is wrong, and almost never justifiable.
** Although, especially in the anime, there are people who come away convinced that somebody as sociopathic as Knives should be put down like any other rabid animal and so see Vash letting him live as Vash's biggest [[What an Idiot!]] moment.
* [[Stoic Woobie]]: Wolfwood.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: Rem
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
** {{spoiler|Wolfwood's death in the anime.}}
** After {{spoiler|Wolfwood's death}}, Vash is eating donuts in a lively, ordinary town, remarking at how wonderful being alive is and at all the people. {{spoiler|He then suddenly ''breaks down in tears'' as he thinks of all the horrible things that have happened to him, as well as the fact that many of his friends are now dead.}} And then [[It Got Worse|Legato shows up]].
* [[This Is Your Premise Onon Drugs]]: Western In Space on crack! Characters on alcohol, steroids and gunpowder-huffing!
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: Debatable.
* [[Wangst]]: Debatable.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not for Kids?]]:
** Some parents consider this to be an anime for teens ages 15-1615–16 when it's more specifically created for kids around their early teens. Some people do consider this anime for kids, but since it's aimed at kids a little younger compared to ''Cowboy Bebop,'' it could also be for a preteenage group.
** The manga, however, [[Nightmare Fuel|should NOT be viewed by anyone that young.]]
* [[The Woobie]]: Vash, definitely; Wolfwood, to a large extent; young Knives; young Livio; actually, young almost anybody!
