Trigun Stampede Unveils Key Art of The New Vash

By Evan Valentine

Trigun Stampede might not be a prequel, but it has taken the opportunity to re-imagine the major heroes and villains that are a part of the life of Vash The Stampede. With the premiere date for this new anime series hitting on January 7th, there has been plenty of promotional material from Studio ORANGE that has given fans a look into this new world. Prior to the major 2023 release, new key art once again explores the Humanoid Typhoon's new look.               

One of the biggest mysteries that continues to surround Trigun Stampede is whether the series will be a prequel or a brand new re-imagining of the original series from Yatushiro Nightow, as Vash, his allies, and his enemies are seen in the promotional material with some serious changes when it comes to their appearances. The series will hopefully give fans a better idea of just where this new anime takes place when it lands next year on January 7th, though even with the start of the series only a few weeks away, neither Studio Orange nor Nightow has confirmed if this is a prequel to the original series or a brand new undertaking in the world of the Humanoid Typhoon.

Trigun The Vash

The Official Twitter Account for Trigun Stampede shared a brand new look at Vash The Stampede, with fans debating to this day whether this new youthful look is better or worse than how the sixty-billion double-dollar man was first introduced in the manga that arrived in the 1990s:

The previous anime focusing on Vash The Stampede saw Studio Madhouse returning to the world of Trigun via Trigun: Badlands, a feature-length film from the original anime studio to dive into the series, Madhouse. Releasing in 2010, the movie focused on a brand-new story on the desert planet, and with Studio ORANGE taking the reins of the franchise this time around, fans are anxious to see how this new computer-generated art style will work when it comes to these gun-slinging adventures.
