Trigun Maximum Volume 11 Review
Art and Story: Yasuhiro Nightow
Wolfwood's death in volume 10 didn't affect me that much because I've seen the anime and knew what was coming, but it really hit me in volume 11 that he was dead. I really missed him in this volume and wish he had not die. On the bright side, I like Vash's new sidekick (ironically, the guy responsible for killing Wolfwood) and I'm glad to see more of Vash-kun. This volume isn't as dark and serious as the last couple, and the humor sprinkled in the story is a nice break. Even the bad guys don humorous expressions at inappropriate moments!
Remember the coin collection case Legato gives to Vash many volumes ago? He was to collect half a coin from each of the Gung-Ho guns after he defeated them. My favorite part of this volume is when a random disco guy walks up to Vash and gives him the missing piece of the last coin, and then the issue just ends. Now that his collection is complete, Legato challenges him to a duel.
Meryl and Milly finally return in volume 11, and a space ship is heading toward the planet in order to rescue the surviving humans. But will Knives, who's become uber-plant extrodinaire, let the ship complete its mission? B+
