Here you are having all these thoughtful, in depth discussion topics, and instead the things my brain goes to are:
Molly’s family being worm ranchers puts a whole new spin on that potential Milly x Zazzy ship you mentioned at the start of the season.
And
Does Wolfwood’s aging due to the serum now make the Wolfwood x Vash ship count as Old Man Yaoi?
Thanks for offsetting my silly thoughts with such passionate and detailed discussion!

I had to show sweet Vash for the thumbnail! Thank you so much for the kind words and comment! Vash’s expressions throughout were so great!
That motorcycle might be the most effective antagonist of the series so far! XD
Livio had a JOURNEY this episode, bless him.

OOHHHHH, I hadn’t thought about the connection to Legato with the contortions – yeah, maybe not so fun, there!
And yes, crafting the time to show how serious a decision this is for Vash - it’s so hard, but it’s also showing the seriousness of that scene. It’s not “prepping” rapidly - he’s making EACH BULLET himself. And it’s not a decision he’s doing lightly, as much as it makes me sad.
That’s SUCH a great point about the scenes you loved and their connection to one another - YES - the Trigun fandom has trust issues! XD
That scene of them leaving is GORGEOUS! Love that so much! The OST really helped to compliment it. I’m very nervous for Legato in the next episode, but we shall seeeee! Thank you for the comment!

Loved the reaction and discussion! What a beautiful episode and the sweetest thumbnail! 🥰
Various things I loved:
Vash’s little thinking face throughout, so funny to me 😆
Vash and Livio really trying with the bike, and Livio doing a Whole Speech and then being almost as useless as Vash
I do not love all the contortion “humour,” to be honest, not after the stuff we saw Legato do 😭
The entire scene around the lantern
Crybaby!Livio just having the most difficult time getting there, going a whole adventure 🤣
Also do not love how much time they spent on Vash making the bullets and how carefully they showed it to us 😭
Livio’s little blush and “Nico-nii” when Wolfwood was talking about brothers 🥹
Millie's whole worm-tamer deal, love it 💚
The things I loved most are quite linked.
First, the idea of Wolfwood not being able to, or now really trying to, imagine that blank ticket in the lantern scene. Knowing what could have almost happened makes that even more moving to me, because there is a universe where that scene is very different for Vash and those kids. And now Wolfwood feels like he CAN try to imagine. 😭 I adore when meta-knowledge of a work can bring layers like this to my experience of a character.
Second, that scene of Meryl and Millie confronting Wolfwood about whether he is really okay or not, especially with Meryl’s line: “That ‘more or less’ is dubious. You have priors!” – was this not the makers of Stargaze literally addressing all of us and our trust issues?! That killed me. 🤣 Wolfwood absolutely has serious priors! Broken so many hearts over the years.
Also, really loved the scene of them all leaving and being waved off that way, especially with that OST. 🥰
Looking forward to the next episode! ❤️
