Watch the series in 5.1 with a proper surround sound setup, too. The way telepathic voices bounce from speaker to speaker at random is some really outside-the-box sound design as well.

@@KevinStriker I'm going to have to check that out. If true, the next person I show Trigun will have a surprise waiting.

His theme is a sound embedded in my mind. It will stay there until my death. It’s that good!

All the banging metal and distorted electric sounds makes him seem so unnatural and just… wrong.

The soundtrack isn't as good as people remember... most of the tracks are 1 or 2 riffs on repeat. I say this as huge fan of the anime.

It got depressing

No it wasn’t, and that’s not a bad thing.

@@heatherstarling1653 oh I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all. It's brilliant. And noticing such a tone shift was interesting to see. It's why I come back to this moment often.

Trigun begun as a kid-friendly Cowboy Bebop. After this episode, was at the same mind-fuck level of Serial Expriments Lain and Evangelion. Trully, a hard twist that made the show a legend.

It kinda felt like a different show too

It's how calm he is along with the fact that he makes you or someone else kill without any chance to stop yourself.

@@katakurifan5213 It really helps set up the change of tone in the series. What really sells it is Vash's reaction to his presence. With other villains, he's all smiles and chuckles and "hey, can't we all just have some donuts and get along?" Then this guy walks in, and suddenly Vash is on edge. The immediate statement that all the usual tricks and jokes are no longer on the table was a fantastic raising of the stakes.

After reading his backstory I think he’s justified in massacring a bunch of people

He such a disturb individual that he can easily disturb others

@@0.721x ya he was like diddy abused right... sad.

Wanna know what's more messed up? In the manga, supposedly Legato used his powers to force people to go into meat processing plants, and then you remember what hotdogs are made of....and this scene just got a whole lot darker.

Probably the scene works better with the bag mistery. Anyway, that was a significant trivia that I didn"t kwno about. Thanks!

Although that's probably true in the manga, in the anime it's heavily implied that the bag contains the man's tongue since the wife says her husband will not talk to her no matter what she says. She doesn't say anything about him missing a head.

@@Archedgar oh, thats another VERY disturbing take on the "mistery bag" left by Legato.

@@thefanwithoutaface8105 In other words... that wasn’t a beef hotdog that he fed that little girl... 😧 or any other animal meat for that matter but it certainly was MEAT nonetheless. That hints to the audience that he’s also a cannibal considering that he ate one of the hotdogs himself before offering the other one to that child. The way he ate his so nonchalantly strongly implies that definitely this isn’t the first time that he’s had a taste for human flesh. In fact Vash’s horrified facial reaction as the little girl eats her hotdog strongly implies to the audience that Vash is well aware that Legato is making this child unwittingly engage in cannibalism with him and considering that that Vash has a soft spot for children it becomes abundantly clear Legato deliberately did it as a petty passive aggressive way to harm Vash emotionally and psychologically. But WOW... JUST WOW... I almost can’t believe it... almost because it’s just too horrifying to contemplate. Are you really telling me that he basically fed her human flesh just for his own twisted amusement as his idea of a cruel sick joke to take pleasure in tainting innocence especially knowing full well that Vash would be forced to watch him do it? This man... this monster is truly sick in the head to not only deliberately go out of his way to make a hotdog out of ground up human meat and eat it is casually as if he were going to the movies and then to not only feed one to to someone else but TO A CHILD NO LESS is the kind of Satanic horror that would be welcomed by Lucifer’s own. It is upon realizing the nightmarish implications of this subtly horrific scene entire that the audience slowly begins to realize that Legato is no man, he’s something FAR BEYOND what we’d define as “human” or rather giving what we just saw, it would be more appropriate say FAR LESS THAN, no man at all, for a well-adjusted human being does not do or even contemplate something like that, HE IS A DEMON, a child of The Devil and given who his boss symbolically and thematically represents in the show, perhaps that analogy is not too far off the mark. It perfectly reminds me of the exact way The Sheriff describes the ruthlessly disturbed Texas hitman Anton Chigurh in Cormac McCarthy’s modern day neo-western novel No Country For Old Men. He describes people like him as some “new kind” of human, one far more bloodthirsty and sociopathic. The Sheriff goes on to say while narrating the novel a monologue that not only describes people like Anton but could also be used to perfectly describe people like Legato as well. “What do you say to a man that by his own admission has no soul? Why would you say anything? I’ve thought about it a good deal. But that wasn't nothin' compared to what was comin' down the pike. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. 0:14 I don't know what them eyes was the windows to and I guess I'd as just as soon as rather not know. But... there is... another... view of the world out there and there are... other... eyes to see it and that's where my story is goin'. It has done brought me to a place in my life I would not of ever thought possible to come to. Somewhere... out there... is a true and living prophet of destruction and I don't ever want to confront him again. I know he's real... I have seen his work... I walked in front of those eyes... just once... and I wont ever do it again. I wont ever again push my chips forward and stand up and go out there to meet him. It ain't just cuz I’m getting old. I really wish it was. I can’t say that it's even what you are willin' to do in such a situation because I always knew that you had to be willin' to die to even do this job. That was always true. Not to sound glorious about it or nothin' but you do. If you ain't... they'll know it and they'll see it in a heartbeat. I think it is more like what you are willin' to... become... and I think a man would have to put his soul at hazard. And I wont do that... not again... not ever again... and I think that now... certainly I never would.” That right there sums up “people” like Legato and Anton ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY.

Yeah, because Legato is a god tier villain in Trigun.

Honestly that's what makes Legato's powers extremely frightening. He likely controlled the little girl's mind in some way to pass off him messing with her head like that. Either by wiping her memory or shuffling her along physically, we don't know, but he can masterfully manipulate everyone and anyone to his hearts content. He likely made that girl come over to him from the start, staged the whole thing from top to bottom. Legato truly grew to be one of the most sadistic villains ever to me. Both him and the Gun Ho guns truly disgust me. As well as Knives himself especially.

And even fed one to that little girl.

Someone commented in the manga Legato made Sausage out of humans, if that’s the case (creepy factor increased ten fold)

@@Blad3sofWaR He is definitely not a "cartoon villain"(trope name or something like that). He is evil(I know about his past in manga, but in anime it is not mentioned) in such a creepy way and truly dangerous mind.

@@Blad3sofWaR in anime it isn't a canon(with hotdog)

The fact I did not even think of that OMG!

I defintely agree a knives out of control. Legato was cunning and control his emotions. He was too dangerous

I think legato’s role in the series is genius. He got to vash on a psychological level.

Its mainly because the anime changed things so much from the manga. Legato lost scenes that gave him more variety of emotion (thus making him in the anime come off more intimidating compared to his manga self), Knives lost his entire 1st introduction and the actions within were given to Legato, and finally, Knives's non-flashback introduction was pushed so far back that he had no time to really do anything with the character. It made Legato cooler on his own, but that just lead to mild disappointment when ultimately, he's still just Knives's loyal lackey.

In the manga he made people into hot dogs which makes it more creepy

Kenshin Himora, too. Man could be a hero or villain with ease.

Right? Even the new Legato from Stampede just isn't the same

Demonic static

@@chukwumaagbo Like that was creepy

1:59 I like the sound it makes

Milly might be ditzy but she’s good at reading people. And she’s good at reading when a smile is fake.

Apparently a severed head

Seven vibe😂

Don't get.....ahead......of yourself

That would be El Gato

@@briarjensen2123 Its French! Le Gatoooo!

Legato was dangerous, but not moreso than knives. Knives is the reason humanity is stranded on Gunsmoke, and is capable of raw destruction on a scale that Legato simply isn't, being a Plant and wielding the same weapon that destroyed July and Augusta.

Knives is a god to legato. Legato is merely the reaper he's raised and reared from a 16 year old ex sex-slave. Trigun Maximum even gives knives a credible reason as to why he wants to exterminate humanity, where in the anime it's incredibly lame.

@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462 i think Knives was totally insane

@@RainbowWaffles of course knives more powerful but Legato force ppl make choice based on environment. Legato was even more ruthless than Knives

@@RainbowWaffles of course knives more powerful but Legato force ppl make choice based on environment. Legato was even more ruthless than Knives . He made vash break his word

Lol aww

You're not wrong, Knives is essentially just a racist with a God complex while Legato is by all accounts pure evil. Vicious would probably piss himself if he met Legato

@@thefanwithoutaface8105 yeah that’s true and right, Vicious wishes he was that dark.

@@thefanwithoutaface8105 And yet he doesn't care if he dies.

He is not darker than Griffith and Johan Libert though.

It's actually post-industrial music mixed with dark ambient and noise music

​@@sandansaiyan5675exactly.

It looks like he hasn't dubbed a new anime since Naruto Shippuden. He might be done with that biz though he still does live action.

“You lost to a monkey who can’t even use jujutsu!”

Good catch. That's what was in the bag.

I agree with this SO MUCH. I do like the touch of him killing the slave traffickers considering his past in the anime. But i was VERY shocked when i read what happened to him it made me lowkey sick. I still want to punch his lights out tho!

I definitely agree

You. Keep talking.

More like Batman villain, his ideals mostly opposite i think

😑Yeah my expectations a very very very low for stanpede.

All I'll say is, stampede is great... until they introduce the new Legato. And man is he disappointing lol

I like this legato better but Stampede version of Knives is better.

Welp now that stampedes done with, can share me thoughts : I…do not like prequel stuff, never have never will because it feels like a step backward, and I really didn’t need to see how July was destroyed again . Didn’t care for the smoker lung side character, missed milly the entire show only to have her name dropped at the end. Overall forgettable besides a few characters

@@OfLanceTheLonginussupposedly there’s a part two coming out to answer more like it should. Not to mention we still haven’t seen the Tri-Punisher of Death

What was it?

@@aly3a869 "I didn't think she'd be so good" This was only aired on the first showing of trigun on AdultSwim. The subsequent airings and the DVD's all changed the dubbed line to what you see here, something way more pg13. If 2 other people hadnt been in the room watching this with me and remember it exactly the same way I do I'd begin to think this was some Mandela effect.

@@LDKRyden 😨

​@@LDKRyden Sounds like a reference to the cannibalistic trait Legato has or.... probably the more sinister one...
