Trigun Stampede will bring back Vash, the famous anime gunslinger, after he’s been away from the small screen for decades, with his previous return arriving as a part of the film that landed in 2010, Trigun: Badlands Rumble. With the new anime series set to arrive next year, a trailer has arrived that not only hints at new characters being introduced but also gives us a new look at Knives, the nefarious brother of Vash who might just have a bigger role here than in the original series.
During the latest panel at Anime NYC, not only was the new trailer revealed, but a producer at Studio ORANGE, Kiyotaka Waki, revealed that not only will Vash be getting plenty of screen time, but his nefarious brother Knives will also have his own story to tell:

“Trigun is about Vash, but there’s another key person here who is Knives, the brother of Vash. Director Kenji Muto wanted to understand how emotion works with Knives. If you really simply put it, they’re villains, but it’s actually not that simple. There are far more things to understand about them. There are two brothers; there are two sides to things.”
Knives The Stampede
