About Trigun Stampede's Legato Bluesummers

Trigun Stampede's Legato Bluesummers is a man who has dedicated his life to knives. Legato was a nameless s*x slave prior to the start of the manga.

While imprisoned, he gradually grew his power by weaving metal threads into his brain, allowing him to control other people's bodies. Before Legato could unleash his full potential, he was found, attacked, and s**ually assaulted.

One day, Knives happened to pass by and annihilate the city, leaving Legato as the sole survivor. Legato instantly developed feelings for Knives and declared an unbreakable loyalty, indicating his readiness to let Knives murder him. Knives, on the other hand, accepted the little kid as a tool and gave him the surname Bluesummers.

His major objective is to make Vash endure unending anguish and agony. He is the secondary antagonist of the Trigun Series and works for Knives, giving him authority over the Gung-Ho-Guns, especially after Knives is hurt as a consequence of the July Incident.

Elendira the Crimsonnail noted that he is the only Gung-Ho-Gun without a number, making him far less disposable to Knives than the others.
