Trigun Stampede (2023) s01e09 Episode Script
Millions Knives
1
I got everything you asked for.
What are you planning to do?
What's that?
What's happening?
It's reached its production limit.
The Plant is overloaded.
It's disconnected
from the higher dimension
and its body cannot be maintained.
It's already entered its final stage.
What are you doing?
This area is off-limits!
What's going on?
Why did you assign a load
beyond the designated limits?
You'll destroy it, at this rate!
To speed up the reconstruction, obviously.
There's no hope
for life on this planet, otherwise.
You'd better leave.
The Last Run will begin soon.
Last Run?
Let's go.
Heal it.
Heal it now, Doctor!
It's too late.
It's begun.
A Last Run
When a Plant has reached
its production limit,
we force it to lose control
and release all of its remaining energy
in a last harvest.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive us
Forgive humanity.
Nai
I always believed you were still alive.
Vash, you heard it too, didn't you?
Their anguished cries
Do you see it now?
This is humanity's true nature.
These creatures were born
to serve the human race.
They should be happy
to have fulfilled their purpose.
Now, we still have things to do.
Unauthorized personnel must leave.
Hurry up!
Stop it!
Don't touch him!
Did their death wail
not reach your ears?
In that case,
I don't need your words.
Let me hear your wails instead.
Stop it, Nai!
Nai
I haven't heard that name for a long time.
These days,
I act as an executioner of the humans
who made our comrades suffer.
I'm Knives Millions .
Why? Why would you kill them?
Rem sacrificed her own life to save them!
That's right.
If that woman hadn't interfered,
everything except the Plant
ships would have been wiped out.
Do you know how much time it took
for me to replace the course
data of an entire fleet?
Get them!
Don't move!
Vash, you and I can build
a paradise together.
We'll free our kind
from the wicked humans' chains.
Plant can't survive without human care.
Didn't Rem tell us that?
Without outside control,
they'll release a huge amount
of energy at once and die.
They've tamed you, I see.
No matter how comfortable,
a collar is still a collar.
But we are different.
We have will and the freedom to act.
That is true power!
If we hoped to survive, we had no
This thing can take lives from a distance
with the flick of a finger.
A gun that the
greatest sinners possess
It's perfect for you
who love humans so much.
We must grant our power to our brethren.
I now have everything I need.
All that is left
is for us to begin, together.
What are you planning to do?
Vash!
Luida!
What are you doing here?
I came to get you.
Let's go home, together.
Perfect timing.
Steel yourself, Vash.
You'll start by killing her.
Everyone is waiting for you!
Vash
What is it? Do it.
You can't do anything without me.
Nai!
Right to the end,
I relied on Rem for protection!
That's why I lost her!
From now on,
I won't let you take
anyone from me anymore!
Vash!
You dirty witch
How many times
do you have to steal him from me?
Stop
Stop it.
What's that?
This is
What's going on?
You fool!
That's
the gate.
Vash!
Don't touch him!
Don't lay your dirty hands on Vash
Just wait. Even if it takes
one hundred years,
I will build a world in which Plant rules.
Vash!
Vash!
Vash!
Vash!
I heard you broke your arm again.
Brad
Good grief
You just have to ruin
my masterpiece every chance you get.
Sorry about that.
Come on, let me see it.
You haven't changed at all, Brad.
No, that's you.
I envy you for always being so young.
Come on, hold still.
Welcome back.
I'm home.
Where are the others?
They're all safe.
The Sandsteamer,
the orphanage, and your friends.
My friends?
Mr. Vash!
Give me a break.
We're hardly his friends.
Thanks everyone.
The ship wouldn't have
stopped without all of you.
Still,
even I never expected to find
a spaceship in a sandstorm.
Is that your idea of camouflage?
We were saved because of it.
Have you two known
Mr. Vash for a long time?
You could say that.
About 150 years, is it?
150 years?
We were in cold sleep.
People don't age during hibernation.
We have to keep this ship
running for as long as possible.
So many passengers are still sleeping.
What?
So you're not immortal, then.
You joke We're mere humans.
Though we do borrow the power of science.
And Plant, I take it?
I want to show you something.
Amazing! A place like this on a spaceship?
There are so many
beautiful shades of green!
Now this is something.
Roberto! Over here
Ouch
These are
They're vegetation.
Vegetation?
They reproduce through photosynthesis.
A living thing
that is neither human nor Worms.
Living things
Vegetation contains not only water
but nutrients too.
So if we have these
I'm not sure about that.
You use Plant to maintain
this dome, don't you?
And not just one or two.
But what it does do is reduce
the burden on Plant.
Thinking long term,
we could cover
this entire planet with vegetation.
That will take decades
or even centuries.
Even if it takes time,
we want to be on the right path.
We don't want to do the
wrong thing just for own survival.
Now you sound like Vash.
The right path?
As one who lives on this planet now,
I have no time for lofty words.
I can't adopt the way you people think.
But you have every right
to follow the path you believe in.
I will do the same and pray
we end up in the same destination.
Can I say something, sir?
What?
We don't allow smoking on the ship.
And he actually sounded cool for once.
Meryl! Go find me a smoking area.
Yeah yeah Can't you find one your
Roberto!
Did you just call me Meryl? That's
the first time you called me by my name!
Huh? Did I?
You did!
I don't remember saying that.
How can you not remember? You did!
Nonsense!
-Say it again, please.
-I didn't say anything.
Spiky Head, I have to ask you something.
You're not seriously thinking of trying to
make peace with Knives Millions, are you?
Come on, Spiky Head
I won't kill him.
I won't kill anyone, anymore.
I will find a way to save everyone.
Humans Plant and Nai.
More lofty words.
You'll have to choose
a side sooner or later.
Of that, I'm sure.
You sound like the old me.
Forcing Vash to make a choice
believing that everything
is black and white.
I was just like you when I was younger.
You sound awfully sure
of yourself now, old man.
Vash is very strong.
You'll see it if you're
with him long enough.
Luida!
It's a herd of Worms
This is
Look!
It's Zazie. I'm certain.
Wh-where are we?
Roberto! Wake up, please
It's dark already?
Are you okay?
Rookie, everything okay?
Where the hell are we?
I don't know.
Is this the smoking area?
You wish.
Welcome to the third of the seven cities.
This is July.
We're on the fallen Plant ship.
I feel like I've met you somewhere.
It's our first time in this form.
Did Knives send you here?
Let's talk about something more fun.
This planet you people call No Man's Land
is at a crossroads.
So we would like to judge.
Who can co-exist with us Worms?
Is it humans
or Plant.
Don't bother.
This body is only a transient form.
Why do you have the right to
decide something of that magnitude?
Because this is our planet.
It was our planet long
before you came here.
Not to mention,
you humans have a track record.
Track record?
You plunged your previous planet,
Earth, into ruin, did you not?
That's why you boarded migrant ships
and came here.
No way What are you talking about?
It's true.
The Earth was once a planet
with abundant resources.
There were many other
forms of life besides humans.
However
You consumed everything.
That's a lie.
Why do you think
the migrant ships crashed?
It was the twins.
The twins?
Nonsense!
You mean Mr. Vash?
How could he have been here since
the crash 150 years ago doing what?
For Plant,
150 years is like the blink of an eye.
These are
Knives has gathered them
from all over the planet.
Knives?
What are you doing?
Uh-oh we've been caught.
You're the Beast
Why did you bring them here?
I don't follow your orders.
Knives has welcomed me
as a resident of the ship.
Please tell me!
Why are you collecting the red Plant?
You have no need to know.
I'll tell you, then.
But tell me something, in return.
Which one of you will be
beneficial to our planet?
Humans or Plant?
If it were you which would you choose?
I got everything you asked for.
What are you planning to do?
What's that?
