The Butterfly Suffers For This - Trigun (1998) ep. 17-18

This week on Trigirls: we get a more in-depth look at Vash's past and his relationship with his brother, Knives, in episode 17 "Rem Saverem" and episode 18 "Goodbye For Now".

These episodes introduce us to a young Vash and his twin brother Knives aboard one of the spaceships belonging to Project SEEDS, an extrasolar colonization effort for humanity after the collapse of Earth's biosphere. Meanwhile, in the present day, Wolfwood arrives to drag Vash away from his peaceful life in Kasted since the return of Knives, who aims to drive all of humanity to extinction.

Next week, we will be watching episodes 19-21, "Hang Fire", "Flying Ship", and "Out of Time".
