The plot of Trigun Stampede

Trigun Stampede follows the story of Vash the Stampede, the main protagonist, who is being hunted by bounty hunters seeking a high price on his head. Reporters Meryl Stryfe and Roberto De Niro traverse the desert in search of him but find a passive and carefree drifter beloved by the residents of the town near Jeneora Rock. Vash's inaccurate reputation as a lethal terrorist stems from the widespread atrocities committed by his twin brother, Knives Millions.

As bounty hunters close in on Vash, the violent pursuit poses a great danger to the town and its precious power plant. Vash uses his gunslinging skills to resist most of these forces, but he must soon face off against the unstoppable destructive power of his malevolent brother. The story revolves around Vash's quest to peacefully resolve the differences between humans and plants, while simultaneously dealing with the dangers that his brother's actions have brought upon him.
