Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film takes place between episodes 10 and 11 of the 1998 series, making it a rare anime movie that actually fits canonically without breaking continuity.
The film's theatrical release coincided with Trigun's 10th anniversary and helped fund the later Stampede reboot—this was essentially a love letter to fans who waited a decade for more Vash.
