Trigun follows Vash the Stampede, a legendary gunman with a sixty-billion double-dollar bounty and a pacifist heart. With a classic series, a movie, and a modern reboot, this guide sorts out where to begin.
Trigun is a beloved space-western built around Vash the Stampede, a mysterious gunslinger whose goofy exterior hides a tragic past and an unshakable no-kill code. Based on Yasuhiro Nightow's manga, the franchise includes the classic 1998 series, a standalone film, and a 2023 reboot that reimagines the story with modern animation.
π Release Order
Release order shows how the franchise developed, from the original series to the movie and the modern reboot.
- Trigun (1998)
- Trigun: Badlands Rumble (2010)
- Trigun Stampede (2023)
Badlands Rumble is a standalone film set within the world of the original 1998 series, while Trigun Stampede is a separate reboot with its own retelling of Vash's story.
π Story Chronology
The 1998 series and its movie form one continuity, while Stampede is a fresh reboot β so you generally follow one line or the other rather than blending them.
- Trigun (1998)
- Trigun: Badlands Rumble (2010)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Newcomers can start either way. For the classic experience, watch the 1998 Trigun series followed by Badlands Rumble, which fits neatly into that world. If you prefer cutting-edge visuals and a fresh take, begin with Trigun Stampede, keeping in mind it is a reboot rather than a sequel. Both versions capture Vash's charm β it just comes down to whether you want the original or the modern reimagining.
