Other Trigun Stampede information
The Trigun series is about an iconic gunslinger with a 60 billion double-dollar bounty. As high as his bounty is, he's actually a pacifist and tries to avoid killing people as much as possible.
The new adaptation is obviously named after him, and the show continues to have these traits, based on the official website's bio for the character. In general, all the returning characters have altered designs but don't deviate too much from the original source material.
