Trigun StampedeAnimated reboot of 90s classics Trigun, will come in a few months. The latest trailer of the movie has revealed the show’s broadcast time frame. It falls in January 2023. The new trailer also introduces some of the main characters, including Nicholas D. Wolfwood and Meryl Stryfe.
Check out the trailers below. English subtitles are available in closed captioning.
As in previous intro, Trigun Stampede confirmed that the role of Vash the Stampede is a bit younger, and possibly earlier in his career, than in the original. He’s also looking for Knives, who seems to be hiding in the city of July. Also featured in the trailer is Meryl Stryfe, a rookie reporter who won’t stop there to get a scoop. This is also a departure from the original, where Meryl was the claim adjuster from the Bernardelli Insurance Company. In the original manga and anime, she investigated extensive property damage claims made based on Vash’s activities, following the “Humanoid Storm” to prevent him from increasing corporate liability. . Meryl’s partner in the original story, Milly Thompson, isn’t in the new trailer, though if she does, she’ll likely be in a different role. Instead, Meryl was paired with a veteran reporter, Roberto De Niro. Meryl is voiced by Sakura Andou, and Roberto is voiced by Kenji Matsuda (Zebra in Toriko).
Other familiar Trigun face shown in Trigun Stampede is Nicholas D. Wolfwood. Carrying his familiar Punisher Cross, Wolfwood is an accomplished shooter who becomes Vash’s companion and sometimes foe, at least in the origin story. Wolfwood is voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya (Reiner in Attack the giant, Belial in Granblue Fantasyand Orga in Gundam Iron Blood Orphans).
The official Twitter account has also shared new poster images for the show, revealing Vash, Roberto, Meryl and Wolfwood.
Trigun Stampede premieres January 2023. It will stream on Crunchyroll.
